Liu Heitai originally joined the rebel army earlier than Dou Jiande. It was also because he received support from Dou Jiande that year. Therefore, after Dou Jiande joined the rebel army, Liu Heitai also took good care of him. However, Liu Heitai's luck was obviously not as good as that of Dou Jiande, and he was the first to defect to Dou Jiande. Hao Xiaode could only be a young general. Although Liu Heitai was brave and resourceful, it was a pity that Hao Xiaode was not a wise man. He was always suppressed by Hao Xiaode, but he had not achieved anything great in the past few years.
It was not until Dou Jiande became prosperous under Gao Shida that Liu Heitai thought of defecting to his old friend. However, in this way, Liu Heitai would always be under Dou Jiande. Fortunately, Dou Jiande also treated Liu Heitai. It's good to list him as the number one general under his command. I heard that Dou Jiande was preparing to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and that he was also going to make Liu Heitai the king. In this way, even if Liu Heitai had a little ambition in his heart, he would not I won't say anything more, but I will just guard the rear for Dou Jiande.
After nightfall today, Liu Heitai suddenly felt something was wrong. Somehow, he always had a feeling of panic. Ever since Dou Jiande had no rivals in Hebei, Liu Heitai hadn't felt this way for a long time, but he didn't know where it was. The problem was simply to have someone call over the few generals who were staying at Gaojibo. They were drinking and chatting in the room, which was considered a relief.
After several bowls of rice wine, Liu Heitai and his generals chatted wildly. Sitting to the left of Liu Heitai was Lieutenant Colonel Fan Yuan. Fan Yuan was stocky and had a handsome face. He had a beard and looked very rough. He burped and said to Liu Heitai: "General Liu, you, you said, this time, this time King Xia really suffered the loss of being dumb and came back, then , then Wan He, the soldiers under Wan He are really that powerful,"
"General Fan," a tall and thin general sitting opposite Liu Heita frowned and snorted. He was the general Liu Ya who was in charge of the army's food, grass and baggage. Liu Ya acted steadily and meticulously, so even if He was drunk, but he was not as drunk as Fan Yuan. There was just a trace of blush on his face, and he shouted to Fan Yuan: "How could King Xia be afraid of Wan He? This time it was just Wang Shichong." It's so useless that King Xia's plan will fail. General Fan, please don't talk nonsense."
Although Fan Yuan was a little dizzy, he was not so drunk that he didn't know how serious he was. It was just that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. After Liu Ya drank like this, Fan Yuan also knew that he had said the wrong thing and shrank his head. , lowered his head and muttered a few words, and drank to himself again. After being made such a fuss, the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. When Liu Heitai saw it, he also smiled, smoothed things over, and said: " Okay, it’s just chatting tonight, don’t take it too seriously, hehe, come on, let’s do it,” Liu Heitai raised his glass and saluted everyone. Liu Heitai is the defender of Gaojibo. The commander-in-chief is the superior of everyone. Now that he has spoken, everyone immediately raised their glasses.
"Boom," just when everyone was about to drink the wine, a loud noise suddenly came from outside, but it shook the table in front of everyone, and Liu Heitai and others also had expressions on their faces. Change, they have been stationed in Gaojibo for such a long time, and they know the situation of Gaojibo very well. The loud noise just now was clearly the sound of the war drums placed at the entrance of the village to sound the alarm. It used to be I have never heard this drum sound before, but it suddenly sounded tonight. It can only mean one reason, that is, there is an enemy attack.
Liu Heitai was not an ordinary person. He immediately regained his composure, stood up in a flash, rushed directly to the wall, pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, and shouted to the generals: "There is an enemy attack. , don’t panic, you all follow me out and have a look,”
Liu Heitai was so calm that all the generals had a backbone. Although they did not bring any weapons, they all carried swords with them. They immediately drew their swords and followed Liu Heitai. They rushed out of the room together. After leaving the room, Liu Heitai looked up and saw a fire in front of the camp gate. At the same time, there was also a bright light on the swamp in the distance. It was clear that a large number of ships were coming from the swamp. As he drove over here, Liu Heitai's face darkened a bit, which meant that the opponent's enemy attack was probably not simple. He was obviously determined to capture Gaojibo in one go. Liu Heitai immediately turned his head. He shouted to the general behind him: "Fan Yuan, you should immediately gather your soldiers to meet the enemy. Liu Ya, you should also quickly gather your soldiers and go to the granary to protect them. The food must not be lost."
Liu Heitai reacted quickly. The enemy suddenly came to attack Gaojibo. No matter what the background of the enemy was, they must have come for the grain and grass stored in Gaojibo. These grains and grass were the foundation of Dou Jiande's army. If these grains and grass were Without it, Dou Jiande's army occupying the entire Hebei province would be in chaos.
After hearing Liu Heitai's order, Fan Yuan and Liu Ya nodded repeatedly and immediately acted according to Liu Heitai's order. Immediately afterwards, Liu Heitai led other generals and rushed towards the camp gate with swords in hand. , the enemy's sudden attack also plunged the entire Xia Army into chaos. There was darkness around the village, but they didn't know how many enemies there were. Faced with this situation, the Xia Army soldiers were at a loss and could only move around. Running around made the village even more chaotic.
Along the way, Liu Heitai also encountered many Xia army soldiers who were panicking and running around. When they arrived at the gate of the camp, they had gathered more than 500 people. Although it was not many, it still made Liu Hei Tao had some confidence, and when he arrived at the camp gate, Liu Hei Tao was shocked when he saw the situation at the camp gate. At this moment, the camp gate was already covered with blood, and a group of unidentified soldiers and horses were attacking the camp gate. , there were less than twenty Xia Army soldiers guarding the camp gate. Seeing this situation, Liu Heitai could not wait any longer. He immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Quick, go up to support, we must do it." Block the enemy,"
The camp gate is the last barrier of the stronghold. If the camp gate is breached, given the current chaotic situation of the stronghold, even if the enemy's troops are not as numerous as Xia's army, they will not be able to block the opponent's offensive. Liu Heitai will directly carry his sword. He just gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
It was the brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche who led the troops to attack the camp gate. Originally, their attack all the way up the mountain went quite smoothly, but unexpectedly, just when they were about to rush into the mountain stronghold, they happened to... The soldiers on guard in Shangxia Army changed their defenses, and one of their soldiers also made a noise. As a result, they alerted the enemy, and the other party beat the war drum to sound the alarm. In desperation, the Xue brothers could only lead their troops to attack, but Seeing that the camp gate was about to be conquered, reinforcements came from the other side. Xue Wanche was so angry that he screamed strangely, and rushed forward with the painted halberd in his hand.
"Hey," Xue Wanche rushed to the camp gate in one breath. He spotted the Xia Army soldiers blocking the camp gate with the painted halberd in his hand and waved it hard. Suddenly, two heads flew directly into the night sky. , and Xue Wanche did not stop because of this. He passed the spears that were stabbing him on one side of his body, but he stretched out his hand, and the spears fell into Xue Wanche's hands. Xue Wanche even twisted his backhand, and Those long spears were snatched over and thrown out. Several screams were heard immediately, and several more lives were lost in Xue Wanche's hands.
"Hey," Liu Heitai, who had just arrived, also saw Xue Wanche's bravery and ferocity, and knew that if he could not stop this young warrior, the camp gate would definitely not be saved, so Liu Heitai also shouted and rushed forward with a sprint. He came forward and slashed Xue Wanche's waist and abdomen with the sword in his hand. However, before the sword fell on Xue Wanche's body, the long pole of the halberd blocked the front, and with a clang, the sword was It was blocked.
"Xue Laosi," "Liu Heitai," the two weapons collided, and both of them raised their heads and looked at each other. Xia Jun and Xue Jiajun had frequently fought against each other in recent years, and Liu Heitai and the Xue family brothers were They were all old acquaintances, so they recognized each other at a glance. Seeing that his target actually appeared on his own initiative, Xue Wanche also grinned and shouted loudly: "Okay, Liu Heitai, I'm looking for you, watch your moves. "
Following Xue Wanche's angry shout, the painted halberd in his hand also turned into countless afterimages, immediately covering Liu Heitai's head, and Liu Heitai was just stunned for a moment when he recognized Xue Wanche. , he responded quickly, jumped to the side, and dodged Xue Wanche's move. At the same time, he rolled on the ground, but rolled behind Xue Wanche. He picked up the sword and slashed towards Xue Wanche's back. , this knife was extremely tricky, especially when Xue Wanche used too much force in the move just now. His whole body rushed forward, and there was no time to go back to resist or dodge to the side.
"Fourth brother, be careful," Liu Heitai was about to take advantage of Xue Wanche's underestimation and counterattack with one strike, but a loud shout came from behind, and then Liu Heitai felt a needle-like stabbing force on the back of his head. Liu Heitai, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, naturally knew that it was caused by someone sneaking up from behind. Even if he could kill Xue Wanche with one knife, the attack from behind could definitely kill him. Liu Heitai could Not wanting to fight the opponent desperately, he could only withdraw his sword, roll on the ground again, and avoid the opponent's attack.
"Xue Laosan," Liu Heitai immediately stood up after rolling on the ground and looked up behind him. When he recognized the person who attacked him, it was Xue Wanjun, the third son of the Xue family. When he saw the Xue family When all the brothers appeared here, Liu Heitai's heart kept sinking. This meant that the enemy who attacked Gaojibo this night was none other than the Xue Family Army led by veteran Xue Shixiong.
