It was too far apart. Although Liu Xiu could see some things, he couldn't hear what they were saying. He only knew that they were very tragic. When he saw Dou Gui's battle flag was a little higher, he came to this conclusion. But Xia Yu thought more. He pointed to Lin Li's stone throwing machine and said, "They want to push the battle situation further in a favorable direction to boost morale. This attack will be very fierce and we cannot take it lightly."

"What's the trick of that lord?"

Xia Yu touched his short and hard beard and smiled gloomy: "Of course it will help him, and those dozens of stone throwers should also play a role. However, Deran, I need to lure him to the city, and I may have to pay more." He glanced at Lu Min not far away, without saying a word.

Liu Xiu thought for a while, nodded, and made a request: "I want to kill Dou Gui."

"That's what I hope." Xia Yu blurted out without thinking: "Kill this person, the Xianbei people's ability to attack cities will lose at least half of it, and it will be even more difficult for Huai Zong to retreat, and we have a greater chance. But..." He hesitated for a moment, looked at the distance again: "The Dou family is not small, and such a famous family cherishes their lives very much, and the protection must be very strict. If you want to kill him under the protection of so many people, no one thousand people cannot do it, and I cannot give you a thousand people."

Liu Xiu took a deep breath, looked at the distance with some reluctance, nodding in agreement. What Xia Yu said makes sense. Even if Dou Gui comes to attack the city himself, he will not rush to the front, and there will be no protection around him. Whether it is a sniper with a crossbow or a suicide squad, it is not easy to kill Dou Gui.

"Sir, I will find a way to kill Dou Gui by myself." Liu Xiu slowly let out that breath and kicked the female wall hard. In order to avenge Dunwu, he vowed to kill Dou Gui, but he had such a chance several times but failed to do it. A few months ago, he injured Dou Gui, but he let Dou Gui escape and kidnapped Huai Zong. More than ten days ago, he passed Dou Gui by his side outside the city, but he could only say a harsh word, "You can't deal with Dou Gui, this time he has to face Dou Gui again, with only a few dozen steps in between, but if he wants to rush through these dozens of steps, he has to face the attacks of hundreds of Dou family troops. Even if he has very good martial arts skills and has a strong man like Zhang Fei as a follower, he is still not sure enough.

After all, it is only an exception to taking the general's head among all troops like Guan Yu killing Yan Liang. It is either normal or Guan Er himself seems to be just this time.

Guan Er, where are you? I miss you. Liu Xiu said secretly. He quickly came back from his fantasy, turned around and walked towards Zhang He and Lu Min, and said bluntly: "I want to choose some people with the best martial arts skills."

Lu Min was stunned for a moment, then lowered her face and said unhappily: "Do you want to do those reckless things again?"

"The opportunity is rare, I have to take risks." Liu Xiu did not explain much, but only said: "If Dou Gui is killed, the war will be more beneficial to us."

Lu Min deeply agreed and stopped dissuading him. Zhang He didn't say anything more. He turned around and pulled out two people from the team: "These are the two best fighters under my command, I'll let them follow you."

Liu Xiugong bowed and said politely: "Very good, what do you call these two?"

A tall man on the left gave a gift: "Ji Qingyun", and a thicker man on the right said loudly: "Zhou Ming."

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

"Deran, there are a few good-looking men in my Mao family. They are also considered disciples of Dunjunhou. Let them go with you." Mao said, pointing a few points in the team behind him. Several of the men who were accused came out and said loudly: "I am willing to follow Liu Jun to avenge the coach."

Liu Xiu quickly picked out more than twenty. He and Zhang Fei tried their martial arts one by one, and then began to prepare. Lan Lan walked over and stood in the team without saying a word.

Liu Xiu frowned: "This is not ordinary, you can't go."

"The master sent me to follow you. I will go wherever you go." Lan Lan smiled, looked at the warriors with a weird look, drew out the sword with his right hand and held a short sword with his left hand, "If anyone thinks I am not qualified, you can come up and give it a try."

Liu Xiu knew that she had good martial arts skills, and saw that she could not stop her, so he quickly grabbed her. These people were all picked out by him. It would be better not to be cut over by her without taking action. It would be better to die on the battlefield even if she died.

Xia Yu was very satisfied and pulled out more than 20 sets of black armor from the warehouse for Liu Xiu and others to wear. Each of them was equipped with backup weapons, and at the same time arranged for crossbowmen in the city to cover them.

Before he could stop, Liu Xiu and others sat in a row, drinking, eating meat, some were silent, some were relaxed, some polished their weapons, and some kept walking to adapt to the iron armor on their bodies. The proportion of the Han army wearing iron armor was far higher than that of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, but not many were wearing iron armor. Most ordinary soldiers only wore two armor, one on their chest and one on their backs, and did not wear helmets. Xia Yu provided Xuan armor. In addition to the chest, there were armor pieces that protected their arms and thighs. Each also had a helmet, which increased the weight a lot, and of course the protection ability was incomparable. Xuan armor has always been synonymous with armor worn by elite Han army soldiers.

Outside the city, the drums of war suddenly sounded, the trumpets were clamoring, the shouts of shouts, the roars of bows and arrows, and the roars made by the stone thrower outside the city hit the city wall, mixed together, deafening. Liu Xiu and others sat in the city gate, the hanging door in the middle of the door tunnel had been lifted, and the thick wooden city gate was also removed, and a crack was opened, and the situation outside the city could be vaguely seen.

Liu Xiu stood in front of the crack of the door and watched the halberd soldiers fighting with the Dou family under the command of Zhang He. From his perspective, he could see the backs of his own soldiers. He could not see too many specific situations. He could only see the Dou family's battle flag getting closer and closer. He listened with his ears and distinguished the battle situation outside from the noisy sound.

The stone throwers outside the city roared tirelessly, and huge rocks hit the city walls and hit Feng Yuan, shattering one obstacle after another. From time to time, screams sounded, while the stone throwers in the city were silent without making a sound. Although these modified stone throwers have been tested several times, they have never been really used on the battlefield. I wonder if this virgin battle can play their due role.

The sound of war drums on the top of the city became more and more intense, the sound of crossbows became more and more dense, and the shouts of killing outside the city became louder and louder. The Dou family's shouts mixed with Hu's words were clearly heard. Liu Xiu raised his head, closed his eyes, and prayed silently for the first time.

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

The drum sound at the top of the city suddenly changed, and a commander rushed in, rushed to Liu Xiu, and shouted: "Jun Liu, Lord Liu, the master ordered the stone thrower to start shooting the oil tank. Please prepare for Liu Jun. As soon as he heard the order, he rushed out and attacked Dou Guizhong's army."

"I understand." Liu Xiu nodded, took the helmet from Lan Lan's hand and put it on, carefully tied the ribbon under the jaw. After turning his hand, Zhang Fei handed over his double halberd. Liu Xiu held it in his hand, shook it, and a light blow made a crisp sound of impact, echoing in the city gate.

Under the protection of Dou family troops, Dou Gui killed Feng Yuan in one breath. Relying on the early bombardment of the stone thrower and the sharp attacks of Dou Hu and others, they tore open the defense of the slalomers for the first time, rushed into Feng Yuan, and launched a close contact with the Han army within less than fifty steps from the city gate. The slalomers who had never lost for more than ten days were divided by them. The reserve team composed of refugees hid behind them could not resist the fierce Dou family troops, and suffered heavy casualties. The crossbowmen on the city did not dare to let go in the face of the melee scene of close combat, so they could only shoot arrows at the Huns outside Feng Yuan, trying their best to slow down their attacks.

Dou Gui touched the city wall of Ningcheng for the first time. He watched Dou Hu roaring and chopped down two Han soldiers, erected the first ladder, fulfilling his promise to Rikangfeng, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he sent a few more people to climb the city, his goal would be achieved, and then he could calmly withdraw from the battle formation and accept the congratulations from Rikangfeng and others with confidence.
