Chapter 108: The First Battle
Seeing the wind and snow that cried into a flowery face, Dou Gui and the guards around him were all stunned, Dou Gui raised the horsewhip and pointed at Liu Xiu, turned his head and looked at Dou Hu and opened his mouth, although he didn't make any sound, but Dou Hu had already understood what he meant, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and nodded.
Dou Gui understood, turned his head, moved on horseback, his face returned to calm, his chin was slightly raised, and he said in a voice that was so calm that people wondered if he was on the battlefield: "Liu Deran? ”
Liu Xiu motioned for Zhang Fei to retreat backwards into the car formation with Feng Xue, and he gently urged the war horse to take a few steps forward, and replied in the same indifferent voice: "The new young master of the Dou family? ”
He bit the word new very hard, reminding Dou Gui that he could be the new head of the family because his brother Dou Hui lost too ugly under him, which gave him Dou Gui this opportunity. He by no means wanted Dou Gui to be grateful to him, but to suppress Dou Gui's momentum. Although he rushed over with the wind and snow, he was still not sure in the face of Dou Gui and more than fifty of his personal guards.
The more times like this, the more he can't weaken his momentum, otherwise he can only be led by Dou Gui's nose.
Dou Gui smiled disdainfully, owed a debt and said: "My brother has some festivals with my feet, and I came to settle with my feet on the orders of my father." I didn't expect to be a busy person at the beginning, so I had to wait. However, you still showed up after all, and didn't let me chase me to Zhuoxian. ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming, so I took the time to go out and do something and arrested a few Xianbei people." Liu Xiu said lightly: "If we knew that you were the new young master of the Dou family, we would have met a long time ago." He paused, then said in an accentuated tone, "I'm looking for you too." ”
"That couldn't be better." Dou Hui opened his hands, signaled to the eager guards behind him, and smiled calmly: "I heard that your martial arts skills are very good, I don't know if my guards are enough?" ”
"Shameless!" Feng Xue scoffed, and added: "You Han people are more shameless than the other." ”
Liu Bei retorted angrily: "More than 100 of you are hiding in the valley to ambush dozens of us, isn't it shameless? ”
"Not us!" Feng Xue blushed and retorted: "It was his idea, and it has nothing to do with us Xianbei people." ”
"Stop arguing!" Mao Yan drank angrily, her face was very ugly. She glared at Feng Xue and sneered: "It seems that the Dou family doesn't take you, the future princess, seriously." ”
"I ......" Fengxue didn't know how to answer.
Lu Min also frowned: "Dou Gui didn't even ask Huai Zong, let alone her?" Don't say so much, everyone is ready to work hard, it seems that it is difficult to be good today. Xuande, Yide, you take this woman and the hairy girl to withdraw first. ”
"Sir?" Liu Bei, Mao Yan and others exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't let me say it, I led the team that came out this time, and I should be fully responsible." Lu Min picked up a ring-headed knife, walked slowly to the front of the formation, turned around and saluted the injured Liu He, Li Cheng and others: "Because of my stupidity, I have affected you, and Lu Min is deeply ashamed. Please withdraw first, Lu Min will break off for you. ”
"Zixing, you can't say that." Li Cheng clutched his chest, stood up with difficulty, and laughed twice in a dumb voice: "These dogs are too arrogant, they dare to go deep into the territory of my Han Dynasty to make trouble, how can I blame you?" If we were to blame for being too careless, if we knew that they were so rampant, we should have asked the captain to send troops to kill them. He said too much, he pulled the wound, his face turned pale with pain, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and pushed away Liu Bei, who was going to help him, and said loudly: "I, Li Cheng, am willing to break off with Zixing, and even if I die here, I will kill a few dogs, and let them out this evil breath, so that they can see that my big man is not afraid of death." ”
Liu He's face was red and white for a while, Li Cheng's words were like a slap in the face, his father Liu Yu had always advocated appeasing the Hu people, but now the Hu people were so bold that they entered the hinterland of Shanggu to commit murder, and now they also cut him, which is tantamount to a great irony of Liu Yu's policy. What makes him even more unacceptable is that these "Hu people" are still a century-old family of the Han Dynasty, when their father and son talk about the Dou family, they all have three points of regret and seven points of sympathy, they have never had hatred, and they have given them convenience openly and secretly, but now the people of the Dou family are together with the Hu people, claiming to be Hu people, and intercepting and killing Liu Xiu for the sake of their family's reputation, so they do not hesitate to kill these dozens of Zhuoxian children who have no grievances with them.
"I'll stay too!" Liu He said in a dumb voice: "Please tell my father about the situation here after Miss Mao returns to Zhuo County." ”
"I'll stay too!" A Dongmao disciple also stood up and protested: "Sister, please tell me Ah Weng, I didn't disgrace the Mao family." ”
A Northern Mao disciple strode up and roared viciously: "The children of the Mao family are not the only ones, when will it be your turn to represent the Mao family, who will kill more people after a while, who is qualified to speak on behalf of the Mao family." ”
"You're a fart?" Dongmao's disciples sneered at each other: "When I killed people just now, where did you go." ”
"Lao Tzu is also killing people......"
"Shut up." Lu Min interrupted the quarrel between the children of the Mao family and said loudly: "The people of the Dou family are crazy, they want to kill us all, and you are still arguing here?" Don't talk nonsense, listen to my arrangement, and immediately escort Miss Mao and this girl to go first. ”
"It makes sense for my sister to go first, why should this Hu girl go?" The Beimao disciple raised his eyebrows and shouted: "It's better to slaughter it with a knife!" ”
"If you have the ability, you'll be angry with a woman later?" Lu Min reprimanded: "Withdraw immediately, otherwise I will kill you first." ”
"You ......" Bei Mao's children were furious, his eyes widened, and he was about to step forward to make a move, Mao Yan took a step forward, flew up and kicked him in the chest, kicked him unstable, took two steps back, and hit the cart with his butt, before he struggled, Mao Yan had already pulled out the knife out of the sheath, half of the blade was on his neck, gritted his teeth and said: "Say one more word, I will kill you!" ”
The boy was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
"Let's go!" Lu Min pulled Mao's sister-in-law and motioned for Zhang Fei and Liu Bei to escort them away first, Zhang Fei shook his head: "Where is Mr., where am I, you can find someone else." After speaking, he took out Liu Xiu's halberd, strode out of the convoy, and came behind Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu heard the quarrel behind, but he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it, Zhang Fei came behind him, handed over the halberd, and then held the shield in his left hand and the knife in his right hand, standing on the side of the horse without saying a word. Liu Xiu took the halberd, glanced at him, and laughed softly: "You want to come and get a piece of the pie too?" ”
"If the gentleman has something, the disciple will obey it, as it should be." Zhang Fei replied lightly: "You are not a gentleman, but I, as a student, can't ignore the dignity of the teacher." ”
"Hahaha......" Liu Xiu couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, laughing very happily, he laughed a few times, then raised the iron halberd in his hand, pointed at Dou Gui, who frowned slightly, and said: "The new young master of the Dou family, do you have the courage to fight to the death?" ”
Dou Gui smiled contemptuously, and the horsewhip in his hand lightly pointed: "Kill him!" ”
The two knights suddenly agreed, lifted the reins of their horses, and rushed out of the queue, followed by two knights urging their horses and began to charge forward. Liu Xiu scolded "coward", kicked the horse's belly violently, the war horse was in pain, and rushed forward, like the wind.
Liu Xiuren moved with the horse, leaning forward slightly, holding halberds in both hands, and his eyes locked on the two knights who were approaching quickly. This is the first actual combat since he learned the Zhao family spear method from Zhao Yi, but he practiced very hard, there are targets on the school field in Ningcheng for cavalry practice, he has to practice for an hour or two every day, repeating countless times that does not seem complicated, but the actual opponent's movements are strict to the point of almost perverted.
Hard work pays off. At this moment, he did not feel any nervousness or timidity at all, and only anger and indomitable courage remained in his chest. The nearly two-zhang long halberd seemed to understand his intentions, and the head of the halberd trembled slightly, making a "buzzing" chirp.
