The highly anticipated four cavalry groups set out last night and have now separately infiltrated into Zhao and Lijiazhuang.
Li Xi rode a horse and ran toward the village with a panic look on his face. Zi You, who was discussing something with Gongsun Bai at the entrance of the village, saw Li Xi like this and quickly shouted
"Axi, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Ziyou and Mr. Gongsun are Donghu cavalry." Li Xi turned over and dismounted, panting.
Today he and several men from the same village went up the mountain to hunt, and unexpectedly saw about a hundred Hu cavalry. They didn't care about hunting, and quickly spread out to notify various villages and the nearest city guard.
"Donghu cavalry? Did you read that correctly?" Ziyou asked, now that the Huns and Huns are confronting Li Mu at Yanmen Pass, how could they come here? The cavalry unit of more than a hundred people is no longer a small force.
"Yes, I'm not wrong. Last year, cavalry like this attacked villages dozens of kilometers away. Their direction was exactly our village." Li Xi said.
"Axi, inform the men in the village to take the women and children up the mountain to take refuge. The Donghu people's cavalry will not go up the mountain. At the same time, let the hunters in the village prepare their weapons to prepare for the arrival of these people." Ziyou said.
"Okay sir." Li Xigang was about to leave.
"By the way, Ah Xi, ask the people in the village to prepare more ropes and long sticks, and sharpen one end of the long stick. Brother Gongsun, please tell other villages to take refuge in the mountains." Ziyou continued.
"Yes, sir."
"Okay, Brother Ziyou."
Li Xi and Gongsun Bai set off in two directions. Ziyou looked at the endless plain in front of Lijiazhuang. If Donghu's cavalry charged in such a place, even a thousand people would not be able to stop the more than a hundred cavalry. It's a pity that except for Qin, which is doing well in the current crossbow formation, other countries pay more attention to chariots and infantry.
Soon a dozen or so hunters followed to the entrance of the village.
"Sir, what do you want these things for?" Li Xi asked.
"These barbarian cavalry will definitely plunder the village. Since they dare to come, then let them stay. Do you dare to return to these cavalry with me?" Ziyou said.
When the hunters heard Ziyou's words, they all looked at each other, and one of them said
"Sir, are you kidding? We are only fifteen people, and the other party has nearly a hundred people, including cavalry. How can we keep them?" said one of the hunters.
Even Li Xi, who had always been fearless, looked embarrassed. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid. How could fifteen men fight three hundred cavalry.
"I know, but do you believe me? I am confident that I will lead you to keep them. These cavalry are targeting us. If we cannot buy time for the villagers to evacuate to the mountains, you also know what is waiting for them." Ziyou looked at it. these people said.
"I listen to your husband, sooner or later you will die. It's not a bad idea to let everyone evacuate and die." Li Xi gritted his teeth and said.
"Mr. Nice." The remaining farmers shouted.
Ziyou then began to order the villagers to make traps and place ropes on the three roads entering the village. At the same time, four people were divided into three groups to ambush in the streets, and long sticks were used to make traps for picking up leaks.
Looking at the trap that had been laid, Ziyou looked at Li Xi beside him and said
"Axi, do you believe me or not?"
"I believe it." Ah Xi said without blinking.
"Okay, I have a task for you." Ziyou whispered in Li Xi's ear.
"Can I really do that? Sir." Li Xi asked uncertainly.
"You can do it. If you really want to make a difference on the battlefield, this is the first step." Ziyou patted Li Xi on the shoulder and said.
Ziyou then went to arrange other things, leaving Li Xi with a complicated face. Li Xi gradually became determined in his eyes and went to make preparations according to Ziyou's arrangements.
There was a burst of dust and smoke, and Donghu's cavalry looked at Li Xi at the entrance of the village and roared.
"My sons, charge with me and enjoy the treasures and women of the Central Plains people!" The leading cavalryman cheered when he saw Li Xi and ran towards the village.
The remaining cavalry roared and rushed over, waving the swords in their hands. Zi You, who was standing on the roof, held a strong bow and pointed it at the charging cavalry. As his hand loosened, he shot a sharp arrow at one of the cavalry. The cavalry shot down, but this did not stop the pace of these barbarian cavalry, and each one became even more excited.
"Brothers, catch the man in white and I will reward him with two women." The leading cavalry shouted.
They had long been accustomed to this kind of resistance. The more they resisted, the more excited he became. He thought of the people who were fleeing for their lives in the front during the previous robbery. They were playing behind them like a cat playing with a mouse. Listening to the screams of the Central Plains people made him Extremely excited.
The leading cavalry leader stretched his bow and nocked an arrow and shot an arrow at Ziyou. Ziyou dodged the arrow with his side face. He stretched his bow and nocked an arrow again and shot down another cavalryman. In this way, five or six Hu cavalrymen were shot down. .
At this time, these barbarian cavalry were approaching the entrance of the village.
"Charge in from the three entrances in batches, don't let anyone go." The leader shouted, and the cavalry of more than a hundred people immediately divided into dozens and rushed towards the other two village entrances.
The remaining cavalry charged into the village without stopping. As soon as they entered the village, the horse's hooves broke the rope, and more than a dozen sharpened wooden sticks were ejected to kill the cavalry in the front. Ziyou continued to shoot arrows. The leader angrily ordered a dozen cavalry to charge, while he led his men to stay on the spot. The hunters who were ambushing on both sides immediately pulled up the stumbling ropes. With the inertia of the charge, the cavalry at the front fell off their horses one after another, and the cavalry at the rear held on. Got the horses.
The cavalry leader waved his weapon and cut the rope, looked at the silent village and said
"You five go in first."
The five Hu cavalry dismounted and walked into the village. Before they had walked a few steps, Li Xi, who was dozens of steps away, was holding a wooden stick. He looked at the five Hu men and threw the wooden stick in his hand hard. The sharp The stick was directly inserted into the abdomen of a Hu man, and the strong momentum caused the wooden stick to penetrate directly into the Hu man's abdomen and send the man behind him flying backwards.
The remaining three people were frightened by this sudden scene. They never expected that someone would have such strange powers. When the three people came to their senses, another wooden stick flew towards them, but this time Li Xi's accuracy was a bit off. It missed and hit one person in the thigh. Seeing this, the remaining two cavalrymen rushed towards Li Xi with their scimitars waving.
Seeing this, Li Xi picked up the spear on the side. It was something in their ancestral hall and was left by an ancestor. Li Xi looked at the people coming towards him waving their spears and hit one of them with one blow. The person felt as if he had been hit by a chariot. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards like a shrimp, with blood sprinkling on Li Xi's face.
Li Xi's eyes were covered by a burst of blood. His arms trembled slightly. He resisted the nausea in his heart and avoided another person's slash. He killed this person neatly and disappeared into the alley, looking at the blood in his hands. , Li Xi gasped for breath. Although he had killed many wild beasts, this was the first time he killed someone. His heart was full of fear, and he kept warning that the barbarians could not be considered human beings, they were beasts.
The cavalry leader looked at the tragic death of his subordinates, and could only wave his hand to signal a few of his subordinates to enter again. Three trembling cavalrymen rode into the village, looking at the tragic death of their soldiers on the ground with fear in their eyes. Although they had killed people, , but this was the first time I saw someone die so miserably. A wooden stick penetrated two people, and their intestines and blood were mixed together. Their faces were full of pain and fear, and one person was screaming in pain.
"Give him a good time."
At the same time, these cavalrymen at the entrances of the other two villages also experienced the same experience. As soon as they entered the village, they triggered the trap set up. Dozens of wooden sticks were shot out and more than a dozen cavalrymen were shot dead on the spot. Then, they were tripped by horse ropes and saw these cavalrymen fall to the ground. , the hunters prepared their bows and arrows.
