In the camp outside the city, Dou Gui had red eyes and directed the craftsmen to step up the creation of stone throwers. The craftsmen were exhausted, but they dared not speak out. Although Dou Gui was so nervous that he would not kill people easily, if he annoyed the Xianbei people, it would be a matter of life and death. All they could do was to use their last part of their strength to allow themselves to live for an extra hour.

"Zhongxiang, it's getting late, so you can rest too." Huai Zong walked over slowly with the support of his personal guards.

"Prince, are you clamoring?" Dou Gui quickly changed his smile and bowed, "I'm not tired. These people are born to be a waste of their bones. If they don't look at them, they will be lazy."

"Dog!" Several craftsmen who were closer cursed fiercely in a voice that only they could hear.

Dou Hu pressed the knife and turned his head in another direction. When he saw Dou Gui lowering his face in front of Huai Zong, he felt very ashamed and very difficult to accept. During the Han Dynasty, the Dou family received countless respects, but he never thought that it would fall into this field now.

"It's strong wind outside, please come in and talk to me." Huai Zong waved to Dou Gui affectionately and walked into the large tent set up by Dou Gui in the baggage camp. Dou Gui was flattered and hurriedly followed him in. Before entering the tent, he turned his head and ordered Dou Hu: "Be careful, don't let them be lazy, otherwise you can kill a few for them to see."

"Here." Dou Hu's voice was as low as a mosquito.

"Zhongxiang, how do you plan to prevent their fire attack?" Huai Zong wrapped his cloak tightly and sat by the burning fire pit. His face was illuminated by the fire, but his eyes were a little dark and he looked very melancholy. Fengxue could not save him and broke the wind crack. He originally thought that a stone thrower offered by Dou Gui could quickly attack Ningcheng, but Xia Yu responded quickly and burned the stone thrower with fire attack. Now he could only build it overnight. He saw the resentment of those craftsmen and always felt a little uneasy.

"Prince, I have a solution." Dou Gui said confidently: "I will send a big shield to block the stone thrower and apply mud on the big shield to make their fire attack impossible. As long as they are not allowed to get close to the stone thrower, how can they burn it?" He laughed: "The crossbow arrows can only shoot rockets, but they cannot launch oil tanks. It is not easy to burn the stone thrower just by those few rockets. Besides, I will also apply mud on the stone thrower and cover it with raw skin. Even if the rocket is shot, it will be difficult to burn it."

Huai Zong thought about it carefully for a moment and felt that Dou Gui was making sense. Some methods they had used before, but they had no experience in using them. Because for them, they just knew that there was such a thing and how to build it. This was the first time he had heard of it.

The Han people have many good things. In the future, they will have to interact more with the surrendered Han people, so that the gap between us Xianbei people and them can be shortened as soon as possible. Huai Zong stretched out his hand and held a copper bowl full of wine and handed it to Dou Gui, "Drink a little wine to warm up your body."

"Thank you, Prince." Dou Gui hurriedly took it, and tears of gratitude were almost falling. "I hope to serve the prince."

"Haha, Zhongxiang, don't think too much. I just feel that I can be very fond of you, and there is no other meaning." Huai Zong said with a smile: "You also know that in our Xianbei, the eldest son of the king is not the crown prince, and... what Yan likes is my younger brother and Lian."

"If you can't even match the prince," Dou Gui said without hesitation: "Although the Yan family likes him, the king does not like him. Generals like Murong Feng and Master Fengli also don't like him. He has no chance to become the King of Xianbei."

Huai Zong smiled silently, looking at the fire. He didn't believe in Dou Gui, but he didn't believe in Dou Gui. After all, the Han people are famous for their cunning, and this kind of aristocratic family that can be passed down for a hundred years is even more impossible to be an honest person.

No matter what, Dou Gui is willing to contribute to him now, and it is always good to have him. As long as he can take down Ningcheng and kill Xia Yu, all the shame in front of him can be washed away. At that time, he will definitely rectify Liu Xiu's Han dog, and he will make me like this.

But what if he couldn't capture Ningcheng? Huai Zong's eyebrows jumped and he didn't dare to think further. If Feng Lie's father and daughter were not in the city, he would not want to attack the city at all. He could have gone away after the wind plundered in the Shanggu realm. Now, if he didn't capture Ningcheng, he would even plunder no matter how many Han people he had robbed and robbed too much property he had, he would not be able to cover up the scar, and Lie Jianfeng would not agree to him.

This time I was riding on the tiger's back. Huai Zong sighed, hoping that Dou Gui's method would work, otherwise he would have to fill in his life.

Dou Gui took two days to build fifty stone throwers and started to attack the city again. He made careful arrangements to prevent Xia Yu from getting close to within fifty steps of the stone thrower. It was impossible to throw a can of oil over fifty steps by just a person's arm strength.

Dou Zhuang attracted useful experience from Xia Yu's techniques and also collected some oil tanks as weapons. However, he did not have a strong crossbow to shoot rockets, so he could only shoot the lit oil tanks. Facing the long Han army position, the oil tanks emitted by fifty stone throwers played a certain role, but the density was far from enough, and the damage caused was very limited. There were sufficient personnel and sufficient fire prevention facilities in the city. After the initial panic, Xia Yu quickly organized civil servants to extinguish the fire, and to see the flight trajectory of the oil tank, and as soon as it landed, it caught up and used a soil cover and a straw mat with water to extinguish the fire as quickly as possible.

The two sides fought back and forth, and it was difficult to distinguish. Liu Xiu and the craftsmen worked day and night and quickly built several stone throwers, but Xia Yu did not allow them to use them, but they just asked them to hurry up and build as many as possible. Liu Xiu was unsolved, but he knew that Xia Yu was not a good person. He did not allow him to use them, so he definitely wanted to show mercy to Dou Gui's subordinates, so he didn't say much, but just took the time to improve with the craftsmen and build stone throwers.

Five days later, they built thirty stone throwers, and their skills became more and more skillful, but basically all the houses that could be demolished in the city were demolished. Even Xia Yu's lieutenant's mansion could not be found, so they had to come to an end.

At this time, the battle situation had entered a white-hot stage. Dou Gui had the upper hand in the battle for several consecutive days and believed more in the power of the stone thrower. On the one hand, he squeezed out the final potential of the craftsmen, rushing to make stone throwers in large quantities, and sending people out to clean up the oil tanks and the Minjian. There are mountains and forests around Ningcheng, and he has sufficient sources of wood. Under his coercion, he soon had more than 200 stone throwers.

In order to increase the pressure and attack Ningcheng as soon as possible, Dou Gui ordered the stone thrower to be allocated to the three gates in the east and south, and the three gates launched an attack at the same time, so that Xia Yu would have a chance to breathe.

Zhang He and Xian Yuyin, who were originally relatively leisurely, ushered in a real battle.

The stones and burning oil tanks were flying in the air, making whistling sounds, and the excited Xianbei people made a "hoho" roar, launching wave after wave of attacks on the city wall. Zhang He led his halberds, with the support of the crossbow on the city, rushed towards the Xianbei people who had crossed the deep ditch again and again with the support of the crossbow on the city, and rushed towards the Xianbei people who had crossed the deep ditch again and again. The long halberd like a forest harvested the lives of the Xianbei people, hooked them, chopped them down, stabbed them to death, and pushed them down the deep ditch. The corpses pierced by sharp wooden stakes were everywhere in the deep ditch, including Xianbei people and Han people, but most of them were Xianbei people in the trough.

The Xianbei people wearing leather armor, holding wooden shields, and fighting swords suffered a lot in front of the neat and orderly elliptical soldiers. Although they were very brave, their cooperation was too far from that of the elliptical soldiers. Often, one person faced the attacks of several elliptical soldiers. Their swords were not even enough to swing out, and they were held by the elliptical. They wanted to escape, but were hung by the elliptical. Then sharp ellipticals quickly pierced their leather armor and pierced their bodies. The shiny elliptical spears passed by their necks, arms, and legs, tearing open bloody mouths.

The elliptical soldiers showed their power to attack. After three days of bloody battle, the elliptical soldiers killed more than a thousand enemies, but only thirteen people were killed. Zhang He, a young man who was usually taciturn and not very noticeable, quickly became famous and received unanimous praise from the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, and even faintly overwhelmed the elite led by Wang Chan. As their reserve team, the Zhuo County soldiers led by Liu Xiu and Zhang Fei became the easiest reserve team. They stood on the city and applauded the elliptical soldiers.

After the bloody battle on this day, Xia Yu invited Lu Min, Liu Xiu and Zhang He to the podium set up by him at the south gate.

"I want to transfer Junyi to the south gate." Xia Yu said straight to the point: "Wang Chan's subordinates have lost all their losses and cannot bear to fight again."

"Sir, why don't you add some more people?" Lu Min asked in a pondering manner: "There are more than 1,700 elite soldiers in the mansion, why don't you send some people out?"

"Those people, I want to keep them and fight back." Xia Yu said coldly.
