Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 447

......

"It was an empty city ploy!" Sikong Xuanche was furious when he realized he had been tricked.

Gu Jinchen and Lin Huangjin also had dark and gloomy faces.

"I never imagined he would be so bold as to actually open the city gates without any troops. I heard that Prince Rui and his men retreated long ago, leaving him alone to guard Kyushu City."

"Damn it! Yesterday was the best chance to capture him alive!"

They actually missed it!

All three of them were so angry they were itching to bite.

"Your Majesty, there is new information."

Sikong Xuanche glanced at it and laughed, "This must be his scheme. He said he brought 100,000 reinforcements!"

"Haha! This time, I won't believe a word you say!"

"Issue my order: attack the city immediately! We must capture Murong Yu alive today!"

Gu Jinchen and Lin Huangjin both felt that the news was unreliable.

"Your Majesty, how about we attack the city tomorrow? It's very foggy right now."

As Sikong Xuanche watched the enemy's city walls gradually appear with many figures, he became vigilant. "Brother Lin, Brother Gu, look, it seems that there is indeed an extra group of soldiers in Jiuzhou City."

"Could it be that Prince Rui has led his men back to rescue us?" Gu Jinchen and the others had also seen it. The fog was quite thick, making it difficult to see clearly, but the shadows were very distinct.

Indeed, quite a few soldiers appeared on the city wall.

"And there are war drums! It seems Murong Yu is drilling his troops!"

It was deafening!

There are quite a few people who can hear that.

"Could it be that the reinforcements of 100,000 troops are really coming?"

"But that shouldn't be the case! King Qin and General Zeng are both holding their ground in the east and north. There's no way they could spare 100,000 troops for him."

But the soldiers on the city wall didn't seem to be fake.

"Should we attack the city?"

Sikong Xuanche frowned. "Use archers!"

"Try it first."

An archer was prepared and began to fire.

Tens of thousands of arrows rained down, and all the soldiers on the city wall fell, but soon another wave of people arrived.

There was also the sound of Murong Yu ordering the city gates to be defended to the death.

Sikong Xuanche laughed, "Haha! Keep shooting for me!"

If we attack again tomorrow morning, it will be much more effective.

"Fire arrows at me!"

Over the course of one night, under the barrage of hundreds of thousands of arrows in several waves, the enemy's troops dwindled in number.

As dawn broke, the thick fog dissipated.

There was no one in the sky above Kyushu City.

All the arrows that had fallen below the city gate were retrieved.

"What's going on?" Sikong Xuanche was so angry that his eyes almost spit fire when he saw the Great Xia soldiers picking up arrows.

"Your Majesty... it seems we've been tricked again. They don't have 100,000 soldiers; they're all scarecrows."

Lin Huangjin and Gu Jinchen both looked grim. "So they don't have any soldiers at all!"

They've been scammed again!

Murong Yu appeared on the city wall and said with a smile, "Thank you for the arrows from the Northern Palace Kingdom. I don't know how to thank you for a while, because I have been troubled for several days due to insufficient troops and weapons."

"However, His Majesty Sikong is truly too generous, gifting me 500,000 arrows in just one night. I am so grateful."

He then ordered people to bring up cartloads of arrows that had been returned for them to admire.

Sikong Xuanche was furious and nearly vomited blood. This time, he was going to kill Murong Yu.

"Attack the city immediately and crush the Nine Provinces!"
