"What, the Xiliao army surrounded Ganzhou City?!"

Hearing the news, Daohua's face was filled with astonishment. Yes, she guessed that the Xiliao people might come to attack the Ganzhou Guard, but she did not expect that their speed would be so fast.

Then, Daohua felt frightened and asked anxiously: "How is the situation now?"

Guyu immediately said: "Fortunately, Madam, you reminded me in time yesterday afternoon, allowing the Chu heroes to catch the spies hiding in the city, so that they could not cooperate with the Xiliao people and rush into the city."

"Now Dongli is leading the city's guards on the city wall to snipe at the Xiliao people who want to break into the city."

Daohua: "How many people came from Xiliao?"

Lixia replied: "Brother Shouhou said there are fifty thousand people."

Daohua's heart sank, and she immediately said: "Serve me and get dressed. I want to go to the city gate and have a look."

Guyu and Guyu were startled and quickly tried to dissuade her: "Madam, you are so heavy now that you can't go to the city wall. You have to take care of the little master in your belly."

Time was running out, Daohua was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, her face darkened and her voice was a little stern: "Aren't you going to listen to what I say?"

As he said that, he looked at Bishi.

"Bishi, change my clothes."

Bishi always listened to Daohua, glanced at Guyu and Lixia, and went to get clothes.

Guyu and Lixia stood aside anxiously. At this moment, Guo Ruomei came.

When the two of them saw Guo Ruomei, it was as if they had seen a savior. They hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Guo, I want to go to the city wall. Please give me some advice."

Guo Ruomei was stunned for a moment and quickly looked at Daohua.

Daohua still insisted: "Mom, there is no need to persuade. If the city guards cannot resist the Xiliao people, then I will not be safe anywhere. I can go to the city gate and watch, so as not to be always worried."

Hearing this, Guo Ruomei swallowed back her words of dissuasion: "Okay, mother will accompany you there."

Daohua nodded, and after getting dressed, she and Guo Ruomei went out of the yard.

Mei Lan and Mei Ju held Dao Hua on the left and right to ensure that she would not fall.

On the other side, Gu Jian knew that Daohua was going to the city wall, so he took Caiju and followed him.

Soon, Daohua and his party came to the city wall.

At this moment, people from Xiliao were trying to climb up the city wall through ladders. At the same time, people from Xiliao were slamming against the city gate.

There are too few troops to defend the city, and with the help of the city wall, they can only intercept the Xiliao people.

This was even before the Xiliao people launched a full-scale attack.

Looking at this scene, Daohua and others looked extremely heavy.

When the Western Liao people's offensive weakened, Daohua stood at the crenellations of the city wall and looked at the Western Liao troops outside the city.

Seeing the tens of thousands of Xiliao troops swarming in darkness outside the city, Daohua felt a little numb, but she still gritted her teeth and picked up the telescope to take a look.

When he saw the general on horseback at the forefront of the Xiliao army, his pupils couldn't help but shrink: "Xiao Yechi!"

"What?"

Gu Jian, Guo Ruomei, and Chu Lang all looked over.

Daohua gritted her teeth and said: "The commander of the Xiliao army is Xiao Yechi!"

Gu Jian's face was a little ugly: "This bastard who betrayed his ancestors! If the late emperor knew that the descendants of his favorite son openly led troops to attack the territory of Daxia, would he be so angry that he would be alive?"

Chu Lang sneered and said: "My lord, as early as the Great Xia war with the Tatars, the eight kings had already abandoned their ancestors. The eight kings defected to the Tatars, and Xiao Yechi defected to Xiliao. They can be regarded as inheriting their father's legacy.

."

Outside the city gate, Xiao Yechi stared coldly at the gate of Ganzhou City, already guessing in his heart that Wei Hongcai's spy in the city should be caught.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have opened the city gate yet.

Being unable to raid Ganzhou City and control Xiao Yeyang's family made Xiao Yechi a little irritated.

He led troops to besiege Ganzhou City, and it was originally a joint effort with Yelu Kangda. When Xiao Yeyang was too busy to come back to support, he captured his family members.

He knew how much Xiao Yeyang valued Yan Yiyi. He heard that the emperor's uncle was also in Ganzhou City. As long as these two people were caught, he was not afraid that Xiao Yeyang would not submit.

When the time comes, he will join forces with the Xiliao royal family, and his chances of capturing Xiliang will be greatly increased.

With the territory of Xiliang, he can recruit troops, accumulate strength, and fight back to Daxia step by step.

It's a pity that Wei Hongcai is useless. No matter how careful he is, he can fail. No wonder Xiao Yeyang was deprived of his military power in the border army after coming to Xiliang for more than two years.

Xiao Yeyang......

When Xiao Yechi thought that his father was forced to death by him, and that he had almost fallen into the hands of this man several times, he felt filled with hatred.

"Yan Yiyi must be caught."

He also wanted to let Xiao Yeyang taste the despair of being in pain.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yechi quickly summoned his generals to prepare for a full-scale attack.

The battle must be decided quickly, otherwise, when Daxia's reinforcements arrive, he may return without success this time.

On the city wall, the guards were a little anxious when they saw that the Xiliao people were about to enter the palace.

There are too few of them to stop them.

Gu Jian, Guo Ruomei, and Chu Lang's brows were also tightly knitted together.

Chu Lang looked at Gu Jian and Daohua: "I'll take you away first."

Gu Jian showed agreement and looked at Daohua.

Nowadays, nothing is more important than the safety of my apprentice.

Daohua was silent and didn't speak. She thought for a while and said, "Master, Uncle Chu, wait a moment. I have thought of a way to defend against the enemy." After saying that, she called Dongli.

"There is a batch of oil stored in the city. You should immediately take people to transport the oil to the city wall."

Hearing this, Dongli's eyes lit up and he quickly turned around and left. As he ran down the city wall, he said loudly: "Everyone, hold on, the Crown Princess has thought of a way to defend herself against the enemy."

In a situation where the disparity between the enemy and ourselves is huge, they cannot let down their morale.

Sure enough, after hearing Dongli's words, the eyes of the originally desperate soldiers burst with hope.

Soon, the Xiliao people launched another attack. They set up ladders on the city wall one after another, and countless Xiliao soldiers climbed up quickly.

Just when Xiao Yechi and the soldiers of Xiliao thought that the siege of the city would be successful, Dongli led the escort team to transport hundreds of barrels of oil to the city wall.

"Spill it on me!"

"Wow~"

The pungent smell of oil began to spread in the air. Daohua covered her nose tightly and watched gourds of dark oil being poured down the city wall.

"Boom~"

A flaming fire fold was thrown by Dongli onto the soldiers of Xiliao. In an instant, the black night sky was lit up.

"Ah~"

On the ladder, all Xiliao soldiers were swallowed up by the flames.

Looking at this scene, Daohua silently closed her eyes.

Guo Ruomei saw her and quickly helped her back away, no longer looking at the tragic scene outside the city: "That's what war is like, either you die or I die."

Daohua's face turned pale: "I know, mother."

Outside the city, Xiao Yechi looked at the soldiers trapped in the sea of ​​fire angrily.

These people were all accumulated bit by bit by relying on the treasures left by the emperor and his father. However, thousands of them were lost in one fell swoop, which made him extremely heartbroken.

"Stop, stop attacking immediately."

......

Seeing the Xiliao army retreating, Daohua and others were relieved.

Guo Ruomei smiled and said: "I didn't expect that using oil to attack with fire would be so effective. With this oil, Ganzhou City will be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive."

Daohua nodded and looked at the Xiliao army outside the city gate that just stopped attacking and had no intention of retreating. She thought for a while and said to Dongli: "We can't just defend passively. These guards can shoot arrows, right?"

”

Dongli nodded: "Yes."
