My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 196 Targeting
"Huh? What does it smell like?"

Su Shuang's nostrils twitched slightly, but he felt a strong sense of alarm in his heart.

"Oh no, it smells like kerosene!"

After all, Su Shuang was not young anymore, but the spy behind him was a young man whose sense of smell was several times stronger than Su Shuang's. He immediately replied in horror.

"Oh no, Lu Yi is preparing to use a fire plan!"

Su Shuang looked at the sack in front of him that was constantly oozing black oil, and his scalp felt tingling.

"set fire!"

Before he could react, Lu Yi on the top of the city wall bent his bow and aimed at a kerosene-soaked sack in front of Su Shuang.

Whoosh.

Lu Yi's rocket instantly flew over a distance of eighty steps and steadily stuck into the kerosene sack in front of Su Shuang.

Get excited.

Kerosene, which is already flammable, immediately erupts into a scorching flame when it encounters a fire source.

All the countless sacks in front, behind, and on both sides were set on fire at once.

A wall of fire several meters long and two meters high suddenly appeared in front of Su Shuang, completely blocking the Xianbei vanguard's way towards the inner city of Luwu.

The scorching fire waves were so fierce that they immediately engulfed several Xianbei vanguards who were carrying sacks.

Miserable howls burst out from the sound channels of several living people who were gradually melting in the raging fire, shocking the other Xianbei vanguards who were about to move forward to carry the sacks, and they all took a big step back in fear.

Su Shuang, who was standing in the front, was also hit hard by the fire wave.

Suddenly, his face was covered with burns, and his hair and beard were gone, making him look like a funny and ugly clown.

"Fire arrows!"

Lu Yi was not prepared to give them a chance to catch their breath, and immediately ordered the two thousand auxiliary soldiers on the top of the city to shoot arrows at the panic-stricken Xianbei vanguard under the city.

Kerosene has a limited burning time, and now this kerosene is all the stock in Luwu City.

We must race against time to capture all these Xianbei people before the fire burns out.

Following Lu Yi's order, arrows rained down from the top of the city. Countless powerful iron-headed arrows, with the help of gravity, were like a shower of iron rain.

This immediately gave the 3,000 Xianbei vanguards under the city a chill in their hearts.

Countless Xianbei vanguards suddenly fell down in large numbers like wheat.

The remaining surviving Xianbei vanguards continued to rush to both sides under the threat of rain of arrows.

He tried to break through the tight net set up by Lu Yi.

But on one side is a special city gate weighing thousands of pounds, which is impossible to shake with flesh and blood.

On the other side there was a raging fire, and you would be burned to charcoal before you even got close.

Some cunning and treacherous ones wanted to climb up the walls on both sides to the city wall and fight to the death with Lu Yi and others.

However, the sloping wall was very difficult to climb, and the grease that Cheng Lian poured along the wall made it extremely slippery. Not to mention climbing, one would fall if leaning on it.

All of a sudden, Su Shuang and the three thousand Xianbei vanguards were trapped by Lu Yi in Luwu City.

With waves of arrows raining down and additional attacks from flying rocks and logs, the lives of these trapped soldiers were quickly taken.

Luwu City suddenly became hell and despair for these Xianbei vanguards.

While Lu Yi was easily harvesting the Xianbei vanguard in the city, three thousand steps away, Hu Tuo, who had been guarding the four thousand Xianbei center, had been paying close attention to the situation.

Although the distance of three thousand steps is far, Hutto himself is the strongest warrior in the Hutto tribe.

The Hu people have been practicing archery for a long time and their eyesight is generally very good. Hutuo, as the patriarch of the Hutuo tribe and an outstanding warrior, naturally has even better eyesight.

Therefore, he saw all the events that happened when Su Shuang led his men into Luwu City.

"Why did the drawbridge and gate of Lvwu suddenly close?" "And why did the North Gate burst into flames as soon as Su Shuang entered the city?"

"Ambush! This must be an ambush!"

Huto was filled with alarm and resentment.

"Lü Yi!"

"I was fooled by this guy again this time!"

"Chief, sir, it seems that Su Shuang has been ambushed by Lu Yi. Should we go forward to rescue him?"

"Perhaps by attacking from both inside and outside, we can conquer Luwu!"

"This..." Hutuo, who had originally made plans to abandon Su Shuang and the three thousand men and retreat, began to hesitate again after hearing the advice of his confidant.

Although he was determined to cut off his own arm, this was an army of 3,000 people.

The broken wrist is now big enough to match the entire body.

Although most of them are members of the other two small tribes, there are not many people from Huto’s main tribe.

But the fat that is not in your mouth and the fat that is already in your mouth but you have to spit out are two completely different mentalities.

He was originally hesitant, and now he became even more hesitant after hearing the advice from his confidant.

"Ugh……"

"Master Chief, if we abandon the three thousand vanguards, even if we return to the Chanyu's camp, it will be a big deal. My Hutuo tribe can't withstand the slightest blow!"

Seeing the leader hesitate, the confidant continued to persuade him.

An army of three thousand people is a very important force even among the entire Xianbei ethnic group.

If Hu Tuo retreated at this point and abandoned these three thousand people, Tan Shihuai would definitely be furious when he learned about this.

But Huto had a longer-term vision.

Along the way, he expanded the Hutuo tribe step by step into the large tribe it is today, but it took countless efforts.

He survived several major disasters.

During these disasters, there were many tribes that were much stronger than the Hutuo tribe, but in the end they did not survive as long as the Hutuo tribe.

He relies on the caution that is ingrained in his bones.

This kind of prudence is a very precious quality among the Hu people who have no ambitions.

But what he was thinking was.

Now Su Shuang is trapped in Luwu and his life or death is unknown.

Originally, the reason why Tan Shihuai ordered himself to lead the army to help Su Shuang take revenge was to help Su Shuang rebuild the horse smuggling trade on the border.

In this way, even if the Xianbei people were defeated and retreated back to the grassland, the exchange of materials with the Han Dynasty would not be completely cut off.

Although they would suffer some losses, once they lost trade with the Han Dynasty, within ten years, the technologically backward Xianbei people would return to the era of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

Even swords were difficult to make due to the lack of iron materials in the Han Dynasty.

And if Su Shuang had been defeated in Luwu now, then the starting point of this battle would have been a failure.

What Hu Tuo was worried about was that even if he captured Luwu, he would get the news of Su Shuang's death.

And Luwu was obviously not so easy to attack. If he suffered more casualties on the city wall of Luwu, a nightmare future would be waiting for him and Hutuo's troops.

However, Huto's worries were a bit unnecessary.

Now, instead of worrying about others, you might as well worry about your own destiny.

Because while standing under the commander's banner, he was being stared at by a pair of extremely calm eyes several miles away!
