The news of Liu Shishan's assassination and death soon spread throughout the city of Dingzhou. For a time, the hearts of the people in the city fluctuated.

The most talked-about were the two Assassins and their accomplices. Let's not talk about the sharp arrows and accurate hits of the two assassins, but the assassin accomplices in their own armor, after the two assassins succeeded, twenty of them actually blocked the soldiers who outflanked them on both sides, killing more than fifty people, and there were no casualties on their own side.

After the two Assassins had roped down the city, they jumped off the wall and landed on a large net that the two Assassins had built. Then, in the stunned eyes of the guards of the city wall, he went south.

At this time, the camp in the west of Dingzhou City got the news and sent cavalry to chase after it.

The result of the tracking, of course, was nothing.

With the intervention of the deputy general of the town guard, order gradually returned to order in Dingzhou City, but the rumors have not subsided.

As soon as he rode a flying horse, he handed the news of Liu Shishan's assassination to Liu Heimin, who was attacking Yangquan.

At this time, Liu Heimin had been attacking Yangquan for two days in a row. However, under the stubborn resistance of Yangquan Ling, the city did not lose much except for a few large cracks.

After all, they are the defenders of the city, relying on the city wall, one top ten.

However, on Liu Heimin's side, there has been a reduction of more than 3,000 people.

When Kuaima sent the letter, Liu Heimin was discussing with the generals under his account the number of people and steps to attack the city the next day. After taking the letter handed over by Kuaima and reading it roughly, Liu Heimin's face immediately turned blue.

In an almost roaring voice, a long list of orders was given, including the immediate return to Dingzhou.

In the letter sent, the deputy general of Dingzhou exaggerated the turmoil of the situation in Dingzhou City, and also lied about the news that ** was coming.

So, in the afternoon of the same day, under the surprised eyes of the officers and soldiers guarding the city of Yangquan and the people in the city, Liu Heimin led the army to the northeast.

Looking at the land that was originally camped but is now empty, Yangquan Ling also sent scouts to follow Liu Heimin's army and went out of Yangquan Realm. And Liu Heimin's army, who was busy marching, actually let go of these small groups of scouts.

From Yangquan to Dingzhou, if it is a cavalry, it can be reached in one day. However, most of Liu Heimin's troops were still infantry, and there were still many baggage.

So Liu Heimin, who was worried about the situation in Dingzhou, left the infantry baggage, took a thousand cavalry around him, and hurriedly went on the road.

From afternoon to evening, Liu Heimin finally arrived outside the city of Dingzhou.

At this time, the moon is as bright as water, sprinkling a soft light.

"Alas, tomorrow is another sunny day!" Ma Wangshan sat on the branch of the tree that escaped out, leaned on the trunk of the tree, and looked at the bright moon in the sky, "It's really like a baked cake, I see that Lao Tzu is hungry!" ”

Wu Peng, who was sitting under the branch, stared at him fiercely: "You still burn cakes, you want to eat it!" It's not good to stare at it, if you miss it, see how the boss cleans you up! ”

Ma Wangshan smiled "hehe": "You are jealous, jealous that I robbed this good position!" ”

Wu Peng turned his face and ignored this guy.

And within a mile of these two people, Liu Cheng and twenty others were hidden under the trees.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Ma Wangshan clearly saw a few sparks moving on the road, and under the illumination of the moonlight, a thousand cavalry were like a wandering black snake.

Wu Peng heard Ma Wangshan's alarm, grabbed the strong bow beside him, and looked vigilantly at the horse team galloping on the road.

The woods where they were hiding were on the edge of the official road.

There is the cover of night, so that people can find out.

Wu Peng bent his bow and arrows under the tree, and on the tree, Ma Wangshan also picked up a long arrow and put it on the bow.

Liu Heimin ran in front of him, and on either side of him, the left and right servants each held a torch. The wind from the rapid movement caused the flames on the torches to drift backwards, forcing the two knights to hold the torches a little farther away from their bodies.

Liu Heimin can be said to be a veteran of a hundred battles. He used to be a general under Dou Jiande, but then Dou Jiande collapsed, and he revolted again after being quiet for a while, and even Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, Luo Yi and others in Youzhou were defeated. However, he was defeated by the king of Qin and threw himself into the Turks. Now he has led Turkic troops to attack Hebei.

During the gallop, Liu Heimin did not relax his vigilance at all, and his eyes like eagle falcons swept to both sides from time to time. Suddenly, he saw a glimmer of light in the woods by the roadside, and although it was extremely faint, he saw it.

Suddenly, a trace of danger was smelled by him.

didn't think about it, grabbed a soldier next to him and blocked him.

I only heard two "beeps", such as defeat. The arrow pierced the leather armor with a dull sound.

Throwing away the soldier, a pair of eyes coldly scanned the woods, and roared away.

The soldiers who were thrown on the ground were suddenly torn apart by the horses' hooves behind them.

"What a sharp intuition! At that glance, I felt like I was being targeted by a beast! Ma Wangshan jumped off the branch and said to Wu Peng.

Wu Peng nodded and was silent.

Liu Heimin led the fine horse straight into Dingzhou.

And when Liu Heimin entered the city, Zhang Yunwen already knew about it for the first time.

What he has to do now is not to go out and assassinate impulsively, but to quietly wait until Li Daoxuan's army comes up.

Liu Heimin's return made the entire Dingzhou City suddenly calm again, and even those rumors disappeared.

It wasn't until the third day that Liu Heimin's infantry also arrived in Dingzhou. At this time, the intelligence transmitted to Zhang Yunwen by the investigation institute showed that Li Daoxuanti's 5,000 light cavalry was less than ten miles away from Dingzhou, and the foot soldiers led by Shi Wanbao were still slowly coming in the direction of Dingzhou.

Zhang Yunwen was suddenly a little puzzled, it was this Shi Wanbao who proposed to march quickly in the ** big tent, and now, it is also this Shi Wanbao who is advancing slowly with the foot soldiers. Could it be that he just treats military orders like child's play?

pressed his mind, Zhang Yunwen began to plan how to kill this Liu Heimin in one fell swoop.

After summing up with the remaining forty or so soldiers, Zhang Yunwen decided to continue squatting first, and then depending on the situation.

At this time, Liu Heimin was preparing for his brother's funeral.

Although the generals went out to fight and the horse leather shrouded the body, who doesn't want to have a person in the ground. The Liu family has lived in Shandong for generations, and now, Shandong is occupied by Li Tang, and they are fighting with Xu Yuanlang and Jianghuai Fu Gongyou, and I am afraid it will be difficult to return to their ancestral land. But even if it's buried in Hebei, it's not bad, after all, it's not far from Shandong.

So the whole army was dressed in plain clothes.

Zhang Yunwen's three-day squatting had no effect. This Liu Heimin is different from his brother, as soon as he arrives in Dingzhou, he will stay in the military camp and rarely come out.

Seeing that Li Daoxuan's 5,000 cavalry is about to arrive, this Liu Heimin must be killed! So Zhang Yunwen made a risky plan. First of all, he ordered all the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion to hide by the city gate, and as soon as he heard a loud noise, he rushed to open the city gate and received Wang Daoxuan's cavalry in.

As for himself, he waited quietly in an abandoned house not far from the military camp in the city.

At this time, the military camp in the city was crowded because of the soldiers brought back by Liu Heimin. And Liu Shishan's mourning hall is located here.

On this day, Liu Heimin was sit-in in the camp, and suddenly the scout came to report, saying that a large number of ** cavalry had been found in the south of the city. When I heard the news, I was immediately excited. Damn it, I'm going to sacrifice you to my brother's soul in heaven.

First, he ordered the cavalry of the battalion in the west of the city to dispatch and entangle **, and he gathered his men and horses and walked towards the south gate.

However, not long after leaving the barracks, I saw a fist-sized stone fly out of an abandoned house on the side, smashing on the defenseless Liu Heimin's armor.

Without Liu Heimin's order, these soldiers rushed to the abandoned house with their teeth and claws, but they didn't see anyone.

Liu Heimin snorted angrily and said to himself: "These Diao people heard that ** was coming, do they still want to respond?" They have no soldiers and no food in their hands, and they can't afford to do anything but throw stones, and they can't make any waves! ”

After another gallop, a fist-sized stone flew from the side of the road. However, this time, Liu Heimin had already taken precautions, grabbed it in his hand, and threw it on the ground as if nothing happened.

"Ignore him, let's keep going!"

Seeing that Liu Heimin was about to arrive at the city gate, Zhang Yunwen hid behind a ruin, took out a grenade, opened the ring, waited for a second or two, and then threw it at Liu Heimin.

Liu Heimin was about to get off the city wall when he felt something hit behind his head, and grabbed the grenade in his hand with his backhand.

Hey, isn't this a stone?

As he was questioning, he saw a puff of smoke coming out of the iron ball in his hand, and then he only heard a thunderclap, and he suddenly lost his ears and became deaf. At the same time, it was as if the body had been hit by something, and then it was completely unconscious.

What is this? This was Liu Heimin's last doubt before he died.

The soldiers who were surrounding Liu Heimin were suddenly killed. First, a loud bang was heard, and countless horses and men neighed, overturning many knights. Then, the grenade fragments that flew from all directions killed in a semicircle, and suddenly, most of the people facing Liu Heimin were injured.

And that Liu Heimin, the right hand holding the grenade has been completely blown up, and the leather armor is full of holes. Half of the grenade fragments burst into his body, shattering the internal organs. A patch of shrapnel was embedded deep in his forehead. Black blood gushed down.

When Liu Heimin's soldiers woke up from the shock, they all immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. muttered in his mouth: "Lei Gong spares his life, Lei Gong spares his life......"

And the scout battalion soldiers who planned to open the city gates were also frightened by this thing. But fortunately, Zhang Yunwen once said that after the loud noise, they stormed the city gate, and they still had some preparations in their hearts.

After the grenade sounded, several people looked at each other, rushed up together, and opened the city gate.

The guards were already kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, so they opened the gate effortlessly.

Zhang Yunwen couldn't believe it when he saw that the task was completed so easily.

At this time, five thousand ** outside the city poured into the city like a tide.
