The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1107

Chapter 1107: Chapter 930, Fire Attack Repels the Enemy

"What, Xiliao people have surrounded Ganzhou City?!"

Upon hearing this news, Daohua’s face was filled with astonishment. Indeed, she had guessed that the Xiliao people might come to attack the Gan State Guard, but she did not expect their speed to be so fast.

Then, Daohua felt a sudden fright and anxiously asked, "What’s the situation now?"

Guyu immediately replied, "Fortunately, Madam, you reminded us in time yesterday afternoon, which allowed Chu Lang to catch the spies hiding in the city, preventing them from collaborating with the Xiliao people to breach the city."

"Now, Dongli is leading the city’s guards on the city walls, sniping at the Xiliao people trying to break into the city."

Daohua asked, "How many Xiliao people have come?"

Lixia replied, "Brother Shouhou said there are fifty thousand."

Daohua immediately said, "Help me get dressed; I want to go see the city gate."

Guyu and Lixia gasped and quickly tried to dissuade her, "Madam, you are heavily pregnant now; how can you go near the city walls? You must think of the little lord in your belly."

Time was pressing and Daohua could not be bothered with their idle talk. Her expression darkened, and her voice grew stern, "Are you not listening to me anymore?"

Saying that, she looked at Bi Shi.

"Bi Shi, help me change."

Bi Shi always followed Daohua’s instructions. Glancing at Guyu and Lixia, she went to retrieve the clothes.

Guyu and Lixia, extremely anxious, stood aside. Just then, Guo Ruomei arrived.

Seeing Guo Ruomei, they rushed forward as if seeing a savior, saying urgently, "Madam Guo, our madam wants to go to the city walls; please persuade her."

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

Daohua still insisted with determination on her face, "Mother, no need to persuade me. If the city guards can’t hold back the Xiliao people, I won’t be safe anywhere. It’s better to go to the city gate than to be anxious and fearful."

Hearing this, Guo Ruomei held back her words and said, "Alright, mother will accompany you."

Daohua nodded, dressed, and then left the courtyard with Guo Ruomei.

Mei Lan and Mei Ju supported Daohua from the left and right, ensuring she had no chance of falling.

On the other side, Gu Jian knew Daohua was going to the city walls and followed her with Dongli and Caiju.

Soon, Daohua and her group arrived at the city walls.

At this moment, Xiliao people were trying to climb the city walls using ladders, while others were forcefully attacking the city gate.

The city’s defensive forces were too few; they could barely keep the Xiliao people at bay with the help of the city walls.

This was still when Xiliao people were not launching a full-scale attack.

Witnessing this scene, everyone in Daohua’s group felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

When the offensive from the Xiliao people weakened, Daohua stood at the battlements and looked at the Xiliao army outside the city.

Seeing the tens of thousands of Xiliao soldiers pressing in dark masses, Daohua felt a tingling in her scalp, but still gritted her teeth and picked up a telescope to observe.

When she saw the leading general riding on horseback among the Xiliao soldiers, her pupils suddenly shrunk: "Xiao Yechi!"

"What?"

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

Daohua gritted her teeth, "The commander leading that group of soldiers below is Xiao Yechi!"

Gu Jian’s face looked somewhat ugly, "This traitor who abandoned his ancestors! If the former emperor knew that the descendant of his most beloved son was openly leading troops to attack Daxia’s territory, I wonder if he would be so angry that he’d refuse reincarnation?"

Chu Lang sneered, "Duke, back when Daxia was at war with the Tartars, the Eight Princes’ lineage had already betrayed their ancestors. The Eighth Prince turned to the Tartars, Xiao Yechi turned to Xiliao, it can be considered as following in his father’s footsteps."

Outside the city gate, Xiao Yechi was watching Ganzhou City’s gate with a cold gaze, presumably guessing that Wei Hong’s spy planted inside the city had been caught.

Otherwise, the city gate would have been opened by now.

Unable to launch a surprise attack on Ganzhou City and capture the Xiao Yeyang’s family, Xiao Yechi was somewhat agitated.

He had come to besiege Ganzhou City in cooperation with Yelu Kangda, seizing the opportunity when Xiao Yeyang was too stretched to come back for support, intending to kidnap his family.

He knew how much Xiao Yeyang valued Yan Yiyi; hearing that the emperor’s uncle was also in Ganzhou City, capturing these two individuals would likely force Xiao Yeyang to yield.

Then, he and the Xiliao Imperial Family working together could significantly increase their chances of seizing Xiliang.
