It was too far away, although Liu Xiu could see something, he couldn't hear what they were talking about, he only knew that they were quite tragic, and then saw that Dou Gui's battle flag was a little forward, so he came to this conclusion. But Xia Yu thought more, he pointed to the stone throwing machines and said: "They are trying to push the tide of the battle in their favor to boost their morale, this attack will be very fierce, we can't take it lightly." ”

"What's your plan?"

Xia Yu touched his short and stiff beard, and smiled gloomily: "Naturally, it is to fulfill him, and those dozens of stone throwers should also play a role." But, Deran, I need to lure him down to the city, and it may cost him a little more. He glanced at Lu Min, who was not far away, and did not say a word.

Liu Xiu thought for a while, then nodded, and at the same time made a request: "I want to kill Dou Gui." ”

"That's what I hope for, too." Xia Yu blurted out without thinking: "Kill this person, the Xianbei people will lose at least half of their ability to attack the city, and it will be even more difficult for Huaizong to retreat, and we have a greater chance." It's just ......" He hesitated for a moment, and glanced at the distance again: "The strength of the Dou family is not small, this kind of famous disciple cherishes his surname very much, and the protection must be very tight, if you want to kill him under the protection of so many people, no thousand people can't do it, and I can't give you a thousand." ”

Liu Xiu took a deep breath, looked into the distance a little unwillingly, and nodded in agreement. What Xia Yu said makes sense, even if Dou Gui comes to attack the city in person, he will not rush to the front, and it is impossible to have no protection around him, whether it is sniping with a bow and crossbow or a death squad, it is not easy to kill Dou Gui.

"The adults arrange it themselves, and I will figure out how to kill Dou Gui." Liu Xiu slowly exhaled that breath and kicked the female wall hard. In order to avenge Dunwu, he vowed to kill Dou Gui, but several times there were such opportunities, but they failed to do so, a few months ago in Mingji Mountain, although he injured Dou Gui, but let Dou Gui escape, and robbed Huai Zong, ten days ago outside the city, he and Dou Gui passed by, but he could only say a cruel word, can not take Dou Gui how, this time and Dou Gui face to face, only a few dozen steps in between, but to rush through these dozens of steps, he has to face hundreds of Dou family attacks. Even if his own martial arts skills are very good, and he has a fierce man like Zhang Fei as his follower, he still doesn't have enough confidence.

After all, the matter of taking the head of a general among the ten thousand armies like Guan Yu beheading Yan Liang is just an exception, not the norm, or Guan Er himself seems to be this time.

Guan Er, where are you, I miss you. Liu Xiu muttered to himself. He quickly came back to his senses from his fantasy, turned around and walked towards Zhang He and Lu Min, and said bluntly, "I'm going to pick some people with the best martial arts." ”

Lu Min was stunned for a moment, then his face sank, and he said unhappily: "You want to do those reckless things again?" ”

"It's a rare opportunity, and I have to take a risk." Liu Xiu didn't explain much, only said: "If we kill Dou Gui, the war will be more beneficial to us." ”

Lu Min thought so, no longer dissuaded, Zhang He didn't say anything, turned around and pulled out two people from the team: "These are the two people who are the most combative under me, I will let them follow you." ”

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said politely: "Very good, what do you call these two?" ”

A tall man on the left returned the salute: "Ji Qingyun", and a stout one on the right said loudly: "Zhou Ming." ”

"Thank you." Liu Xiu nodded at Zhang He and thanked him.

"Deran, my Mao family also has a few good skills, and they are also considered disciples of the Marquis of Dunjun, let them go with you." Mao Yan said, pointing a few times in the team behind him, and a few men who were pointed at came out of the crowd and said loudly: "I am willing to follow Liu Jun to avenge the sect leader." ”

Liu Xiu quickly picked out more than twenty, and he and Zhang Fei tried their martial arts one by one, and then began to prepare. Lan Lan walked over and stood in the middle of the line without saying anything.

Liu Xiu frowned: "This thing is unusual, you can't go." ”

"The master sent me to follow you, and I will go wherever you go." Lan Lan smiled, looked at those warriors with strange eyes, pulled out a long sword in his right hand, and held a short sword in his left hand, "If anyone thinks I'm not qualified enough, you can come up and give it a try." ”

Liu Xiu knew that her martial arts were good, and when he saw that he couldn't stop her, he hurriedly grabbed her, these people were all easily picked out by him, don't be cut down by her two before you make a move, it's better to die on the battlefield if you want to die.

Xia Yu was very satisfied, and transferred more than 20 sets of Xuanjia from the treasury for Liu Xiu and the others to wear, each equipped with a backup weapon, and at the same time arranged for the crossbowmen in the city to cover.

Ready to stop, Liu Xiu and the others sat in groups, drinking and drinking, eating meat, some were silent, some were relaxed, some were polishing their weapons, and some kept moving, adapting to the iron armor on their bodies. The proportion of the Han army wearing iron armor is much higher than that of the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people, but there are not many people wearing iron armor all over the body, most of the ordinary soldiers just wear two armors, that is, one on the chest and one on the back, without wearing a helmet, Xia Yu provides Xuanjia, in addition to the chest and back, there are armor pieces to protect the arms and thighs, each has a helmet, the weight has to increase a lot, and the protective ability is of course not the same - Xuanjia has always been synonymous with the armor worn by the elite of the Han army.

Outside the city, the drums of war were suddenly beaten, the trumpets were sounding in unison, and the shouts, the roar of bows and arrows, and the roar of boulders thrown by stone-throwing machines outside the city as they hit the city walls were deafening. Liu Xiu and others sat in the city gate hole, the hanging door in the middle of the door hole had been lifted, and the heavy wooden city gate had also removed the bolt and opened a crack, so that the situation outside the city could be vaguely seen.

Liu Xiu stood in front of the crack in the door, watching the halberd warriors engage the Dou family's troops under the command of Zhang He, from his angle, he could see the backs of his own soldiers, and he couldn't see too many specific situations, he could only see the Dou family's battle flag getting closer and closer. He listened intently, discerning the battle outside from the cacophony of sounds.

The stone throwing machine outside the city roared tirelessly, and one after another boulder smashed into the city wall, smashed into Feng Yuan, smashing one obstacle after another, and from time to time there were screams, and the stone throwing machine in the city was silent, without making a sound. Although these modified stone throwers have been tested several times, they have never really been used on the battlefield, and I wonder if this maiden battle will play its due role.

The sound of war drums at the head of the city became more and more intense, the strings of the bow and crossbow became more and more dense, the shouts and killings outside the city became louder and louder, and the shouts of the Dou family mixed with Hu language had been heard clearly, Liu Xiu raised his head, closed his eyes, and prayed silently for the first time.

Heaven, if you have a spirit, please let me kill that beast of Dou Gui!

The drum beat at the head of the city suddenly changed, and a herald rushed in, rushed in front of Liu Xiu, and shouted: "Liu Jun, my lord ordered, the stone thrower began to throw oil tanks, please Liu Jun get ready, as soon as he heard the order, he rushed out and hit Dou Guizhong's army directly." ”

"Got it." Liu Xiu nodded, took the helmet from Lan Lan's hand and put it on, carefully tied the ribbon under his chin, turned his hand, Zhang Fei handed over his double halberd, Liu Xiu held it in his hand, shook it, and struck it lightly, making a crisp impact sound, which echoed in the city gate hole.

Under the protection of the Dou family, Dou Gui killed Feng Yuan in one go, relying on the indiscriminate bombardment of the stone thrower in the early stage and the sharp attacks of Dou Hu and others, they tore through the defense of the Euphorbia for the first time, rushed into Feng Yuan, and launched a hand-to-hand encounter with the Han army within less than fifty steps from the city gate. The halberd warriors who had been undefeated for more than ten days were divided by them, and the reserve team composed of exiles hiding behind them could not resist the fierce Dou family tribe, and suffered heavy casualties, while the crossbowmen in the city did not dare to let go in the face of the melee of the hand-to-hand battle, and could only shoot arrows at the Huns outside Feng Yuan, trying to slow down their attacks.

Dou Gui touched the walls of Ningcheng for the first time, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Dou Hu roar and cut down two Han pawns, erect the first ladder, and fulfill the promise he had made to Splitting Wind. As long as he sends a few more people to climb the city, his goal will be achieved, and then he can calmly withdraw from the battle formation and accept the congratulations of Split Wind and the others with confidence.

At that moment, he seemed to hear a strange sound, and his heart was pounding.
