Chapter 148 Skyfire

Dou Gui heard a familiar sound, which was the unique impact sound of the stone thrower when it was launched. The sound was clearly heard through a thick city wall. But Dou Gui was very puzzled. Where did the stone thrower come from in the city? If there was a stone thrower in the city, why didn't they use it for so long?

Dou Gui is not a fool. He thought of the role of a stone thrower before the war started. In order to ensure that he has enough advantages, he specially sent someone to Ningcheng to check. The stone thrower is not a small thing. As long as there is one, he can't escape the eyes of the spy. It is something he has confirmed that there is no stone thrower in Ningcheng.

However, this sound is clearly the sound of the rock-pier when it is launched.

Dou Gui raised his head and looked towards the city from the cracks of the overlapping shields. He did not see the huge figure of the stone thrower, but he saw a piece of Naruto flying out of the city. He looked at the whirring cup, and the huge horror was like a big hand, tightly grasping his heart.

"Retreat--" Dou Gui used all his strength and shouted wildly. He knew from the trajectory of the oil tank that the target of these oil tanks was the distance between the stone thrower and Feng Yuan behind him. The large area was now all his subordinates, and they all rushed forward regardless of their own efforts, hoping to open the city gate and rush into the city for a big siege for three days.

Originally, Dou Gui had this idea, but now, he only had one thought: Run!

The Dou family, who was all focused on protecting his safety, did not react for a moment. He was about to attack the city, so why did he suddenly retreat? However, they were used to listening to orders. Without asking why, when they heard Dou Gui's heart-wrenching shouts, they immediately began to change the formation, from a cone attack formation to a half-moon formation when retreating, protecting Dou Gui to attack in the opposite direction.

Xia Yu on the top of the city discovered Dou Gui's actions at the first time. With a command, the powerful crossbow that had been prepared was immediately launched, passing through the gap exposed by the shield array, shooting the Dou family members to hit their morale, and at the same time ordered Liu Xiu and others to attack.

Opportunities were fleeting, and Dou Gui had discovered danger. If he had not stopped him before he withdrew from Feng Yuan, it would be difficult to keep him. Those Dou family members with strong combat power had a great opportunity to protect him from this carefully arranged trap for a long time.

The city gate quietly opened a crack, and Liu Xiu, Zhang Fei and others rushed away quietly, and the city gate closed behind them again.

Dou Gui didn't notice this. His whole mind was attracted by the fire flying in the sky, and he couldn't help but sink. He knew that he had been fooled. Xia Yu also had stone throwers. Whether he had it before or had just done it, he must have stone throwers. Although the number was not large, these stone throwers replaced the heavy stones with bundles of lit oil tanks from the beginning. The purpose was not to kill people, but to set fires, and threw hundreds of oil tanks out of the city in one breath. The fire caused by these oil tanks was enough to burn those unprepared siege troops to panic, and block the reinforcements of the strong wind, and put himself to death.

If he could not rush through this area early, even if he was not shot to death by the powerful crossbow in the city, he might be cut to death, trampled to death, or burned to death by his disorganized men.

He is willing to seek wealth and honor in danger. Of course, he is mentally prepared for him, but it does not mean that he is not lucky. Once the danger really comes to him, he will still panic, nervous, or survive regardless of everything.

"Go away! Go away!" Dou Guiyi shouted continuously. Due to excessive tension, his voice had changed, sharp as if he had been castrated.

"Swoosh--"

"Swoosh--"

Burning oil tanks dissipated in the air, turning into clouds of fire, pouring onto the heads of the Huns who were dreaming of entering the city for three days. Most of them held shields to cover the rain of arrows all over the sky, and did not notice the strangeness above their heads. Until the oil tank hit them or shields, the hot flames licked their skin, and the burning sounded, they realized that they were in extreme danger. The first instinctive reaction was to slap the fire on their bodies, and the second reaction was to look up and look around. When they found that there were fire everywhere, all of them screaming with fire, they finally realized that it was impossible to slap three days, and whether they could escape alive was the most important thing in front of them.

Escape is definitely not an easy task at this moment. The Huns who were burned to the point of no need to care about the direction, ran around and collided with each other, and slashed and killed them in order to seize a non-existent road of life. Even if someone could stand up and guide everyone in the right direction, his shouting was drowned in the screams and could not be heard at all.

More than two thousand people rushed around like headless flies, crying, screaming, and cursing mixed together. Feng Yuan burned into a sea of ​​fire at a distance of fifty steps outside, and the rock-throwing machine that had just stopped launching was burned on the edge. When the civilians who were operating the rock-throwing machine saw the increasingly fierce fire and the oil tanks flying out of the city, after a moment of panic, they threw down everything in their hands and turned around and ran wildly.

The Xianbei people in charge of supervising the battle were also stunned. They opened their mouths and looked at the tragic situation in front of them, forgot to step forward to intercept the escaped Min Yi. Even Lie Qianfeng, who was standing under the command of the formation, stood up in shock, and his chin almost fell on his feet. He looked at Dou Gui's troops, who were originally as powerful as a rainbow, but now he was defeated without fighting. His eyes were wide open, but he couldn't say a word.

Dou Gui, under the escort of Dou Hu and others, just escaped Feng Yuan, discovered the extremely bad situation. There were soldiers rushing around in front of him. No one cared about whether he was the young master of the Dou family, nor did he care about whether he was the current commander of the army. As long as he saw someone blocking the road in front of him, he would raise his sword and chop it. In order to escape from the fire, some people rushed towards the city wall. Although there were extremely vicious serpentines in Feng Yuan, no matter how cruel the serpentines were, they did not have the fire and the thousands of burned companions who were cruel. Under the threat of the fire, they launched a more fierce charge towards Feng Yuan, but this time it was not for siege, but for life.

Dou Gui ran into this countercurrent head-on, almost untenable. Fortunately, the Dou family was very experienced in dealing with such a thing. Without saying a word, he raised it and chopped it up. In a group of five people, the finished character blocked Dou Gui, firmly blocking the crazy soldiers.

The Huns who escaped from the Northern Huns with Dou Gui did not have as good equipment as the Dou family's army, nor did they have such good martial arts as theirs. They are now insulted and are not opponents. After being cut down a dozen people one after another, they instinctively avoided this group of bloody and cruel people. As for whether they are enemies or companions, no one cares about these things now.

However, it is not so easy to break through these fifty steps and return to his own formation. Dou Gui looked at the sea of ​​fire in front of him and wanted to cry without tears. Dou Hu had no time to be sad. He looked around and pointed at the city wall immediately, shouting loudly: "Retreat under the city wall and bypass the fire area."

"Here!" Dou family responded loudly, protecting Dou Gui and running towards the city wall. They held their shields to block the stones and arrows thrown from their heads, and ran towards the nearest city gate. There is a gate hole in the city gate, and there is definitely no fire there, so they can be avoided for a while.

Xia Yu watched Dou Gui tightly. Wherever Dou Gui ran, he directed the crossbowman to shoot. The dense rain of arrows made the Dou family complain, and they didn't even have the chance to look up. They could only hold the shield and gritted their teeth and run wildly. From time to time, someone was shot by feather arrows passing through the gaps in the shield and fell down with a humming hum.

Although Dou Gui was still in shock, he still had a trace of remaining rationality, knowing that he could not be confused at this time, and there was no hope of escaping. He looked at the city gate near him, feeling extremely kind, and couldn't help but shout, "Hurry, get to the city gate..."

His cheerful scream was interrupted by the sudden appearance of his back. The two Dou family members walking in front of him suddenly stopped. Dou Gui, who had no time to react, hit his head in his head, and his nose was sore. He was so angry that he cursed: "Go away, why did you stop?"

"Because I'm waiting for you." A gloomy voice sounded in front of him. Dou Gui rubbed his nose and looked up. The two strong bodies of his motivated bodies slowly fell to the side, revealing a warrior holding a double halberd and wearing iron armor. Dou Gui's eyes tightened and felt very familiar. This man was wearing Xuan armor, which was only the elite Han army. In an instant, he thought he had returned to the capital and was surrounded by soldiers of the Northern Army. The next moment, he was cold and frightened all over, and instinctively retreated backwards.
