Chapter 368: Borrowing Arrows

Translator: Henyee Translations , Editor: Henyee Translations

If not for this sentence, the city guards would not even open the small door for him.

As soon as he entered, there was a heavy collision behind him-it was the Great Xia soldiers! How could they be so fast!

After the Second Prince found out about the contents of the envoy’s message his expression was very ugly. He had been threatened instead of being threatened. No one would be in a good mood. He also began to wonder if he had chosen the wrong way to deal with the Third Prince of Great Xia.

Xiaoxiao, who was hiding on the city tower and had originally planned to do something, scratched her head. She was actually a little afraid. She had to be careful not to be caught in the future. If she was really so unlucky to be held hostage, she would definitely have to escape quickly even if she had to expose her superpower. Otherwise, someone who was worried that she would affect Little Big Brother’s judgment might suddenly shoot her.

Although she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she believed that the arrow just now definitely had nothing to do with Little Big Brother. Sigh, her Little Big Brother was so soft and cute. He must be scared out of his wits now. It was a pity that it wasn’t convenient for her to appear now. Otherwise, she would definitely pat his back and comfort him.

Since she couldn’t hug Little Big Brother, she would take revenge on Xiongnu… “S-Second Prince, Second Prince, bad news! There’s a fire in the city!” The second prince felt his vision darken. He did not have the time to care about this damned excuse that seemed to be cursing him. “What is it?”

The soldier reported the location, and his expression immediately became even uglier. That was the place where the black water was stored!

Of course, Xiaoxiao was the one who did this. She was not willing to wait until it was dark and lit all the black water in the storage area in broad daylight. She also made up her mind not to level up and save more points for the time being. This way, she could come over to walk around when she had nothing to do. As long as Xiongnu Border City was not destroyed, she would make the black water they brought useless!

The fire was getting bigger and the temperature was getting higher. Xiaoxiao wiped her sweat and flashed into the space. She retreated after succeeding- let’s see if this hot flame could warm up these heartless things.

It would not be hot. It would be fine even if it was roasted.

The fire in the desert was extremely difficult to put out, but it spread very easily. Someone panicked and wanted to splash water on it, but he was stopped. This person was exasperated. “You still can’t bear to part with water at a time like this?”

Everyone knew that water was precious, but if this fire spread, the entire city might suffer!

The person who stopped him slapped his companion on the head. “That’s not the problem. Black Water’s fire won’t extinguish when it encounters water. Instead, it rises even faster!”

There was such a thing?

So what should they do?

The second prince ordered with a dark expression, “Go and open the mechanism.”

Xiaoxiao saw his personal guard run to the fire pit and press and poke. Then, with a loud bang, the area surrounded by flames suddenly sank. She could not help but narrow her eyes and look at the bottom of the pit that was filled with sharp blades. Then, she looked at the width of more than 10 meters. If someone came to steal, there was a high chance that they would fall in and lose their lives.

This thing was definitely prepared for the soldiers of Great Xia, right?

He probably knew that when the soldiers of Great Xia knew how powerful Black Water was, they would definitely think of a way to destroy it, so he prepared a trap for them in advance.

The second prince did not expect his meticulously designed trap to be used under such circumstances. Not only did he destroy so many houses for nothing, but he also opened the graves prepared for the people of Great Xia in advance. He was really angry.

The fire outside the deep pit could still be extinguished with yellow sand but the place surrounded by the deep pit could only be left to fend for itself. There were still people in those houses…

The soldiers asked hesitantly, “Prince, should we save them?”

The second prince gritted his teeth. “Save what? Do we have the time? They can only blame themselves for running too slowly.” Then, he asked, “Did you find anyone suspicious?”

The soldier shook his head repeatedly. “Second Prince, we’ve been guarding here and haven’t left. No strangers have come here.”

The second prince’s expression became even uglier. Could it be that the weather was hot and the black water was burning on its own?

Speaking of which, they discovered the black water back then because a large amount of black smoke suddenly floated out of the desert. They followed the black smoke and found it. At that time, the black water caught their attention because it was too hot…

At the city gate—

“Is there something wrong with this damn Xiongnu? The city gate is poured with iron. It’s very hard. We can’t break it open!”

Why did they have to produce iron ore so generously? Otherwise, how could such a small country survive under the nose of Great Xia for so long?

“Besides… we’re almost out of arrows…”

The iron gate was much harder to attack than the wooden gate. This was a battle of strength and strength. As the attacker, Great Xia was naturally at a disadvantage. Not only was it more tiring, but they also had to risk being shot by the arrows above their heads at all times.

In order to solve this problem, Rong Yan specially arranged for another team of soldiers to raise the shields they had specially made these days to block the arrows falling from the city wall for them.

The Xiongnu archer looked at it for the entire morning before reacting. “That thing seems to be tied up with our arrows?”

“Using our arrows as shields to deal with us. The people of Great Xia are really shameless!”                        1

Not to mention that the soldiers of Great Xia could not hear this, no one would care even if they heard it. How could despicable people like Xiongnu have the cheek to say that others were shameless? Moreover, they were not stupid. Were they going to obediently be live targets for them to play with?

What was even more infuriating happened. When these “shields” that were tied up with arrows and covered with straw mats were filled with arrows, the people of Great Xia actually changed their targets again! After this happened a few times in a row, the not-so-smart Xiongnu finally realized what was wrong. At this moment, the straw mats that were already filled were sent to the army. The arrows that were pulled out were quickly sent to the rows of archers who were already in position. After being replenished, the archers drew their bows and aimed at the heads of the Xiongnu on the city gate tower. “Fire!”

The Xiongnu archers were so angry that they cried out. If they continued to shoot arrows, their weapons would become the reserves of the Great Xia people. However, if they did not do anything, they could not just stand there and watch the Great Xia soldiers hit the city gate. In short, they were very angry no matter what they did…

“Brothers, don’t be anxious. If they attack the city like this, won’t they only be able to break through next year?”

What they did not know was that the number of soldiers pretending to hit the city gate was not as many as they thought. At the Great Xia camp, Deputy General Xiong was rubbing his fists. “Third Prince, your idea is too good. Tie up the arrows they used to deal with us and be used to pretend to attack the city. This way, the arrows they keep shooting can be used to replenish our military supplies. How did you come up with such a good idea?”

Rong Yan couldn’t help but think of a certain someone. It was the “grass boat borrowing arrows” that she told him that made him have such an idea to make up for the lack of military supplies.

Rong Yan said in a low voice, “Although the Second Prince of Xiongnu has a bad character, he’s very cunning. Logically speaking, he should have realized that something was wrong long ago. How could he…”

Their gains were much greater than expected.

It was at this moment that the black smoke that floated up from the city was already too conspicuous. It was so conspicuous that even through the tall city tower, it was seen by the soldiers of Great Xia.

Deputy General Xiong covered his eyelids with his hand and looked into the distance.. “Is the city on fire?”
