Chapter 43, trust me
The highly anticipated four cavalry set off last night, and now they have infiltrated into Zhao State and Lijiazhuang separately.

Li Xi rode a horse and ran towards the village in panic. Ziyou, who was discussing something with Gongsun Bai at the entrance of the village, saw Li Xi like this, and hurriedly shouted

"Ash, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Ziyou, Mr. Gongsun, they are Donghu cavalrymen." Li Xi said pantingly as he dismounted from his horse.

Today, he went hunting with a few men from the same village, and accidentally saw about 100 barbarian cavalry. They didn't care about hunting, and quickly dispersed to notify the various villages and the nearest city guard.

"Eastern Hu cavalry? Did you read that right?" Ziyou asked. Now that the Hu people and the Xiongnu were confronting Li Mu at Yanmen Pass, how could they come here? A cavalry force of more than 100 people is no longer a small force.

"That's right, I'm not mistaken. Last year, this kind of cavalry attacked the village dozens of miles away, and their direction was our village." Li Xi said.

"Ah Xi, tell the men in the village to take the women, old and young children up the mountain to take refuge. The Donghu cavalry will not go up the mountain. At the same time, let the hunters in the village bring their weapons and prepare for the arrival of these people." Ziyou said.

"Okay sir." Li Xi 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 go and inform the 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 thousands of people would not be able to stop the 100-odd cavalry. What a pity. In addition to the current bow and crossbow array, except for Qin who played well, 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 come back to these cavalry with me?" Ziyou said.

Orion looked at each other when he heard Ziyou's words, and one of them said

"Sir, are you joking? We are only fifteen people, and the other party has nearly 100 people, and they are still cavalry. How can we keep them?" one of the hunters said.

Even Li Xi, who had always been fearless, showed a troubled look. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid. How could fifteen people beat three hundred cavalry.

"I know, but do you believe me? I am sure I will take you to keep them. These cavalry are targeting us. If we can't buy time for the villagers to evacuate to the mountains, you will know what is waiting for them." Ziyou looked at these people said.

"I listened to Mr., sooner or later you will die, and it is not a loss to let everyone evacuate to die." Li Xiyi said through gritted teeth.

"Mr. Nice to hear." The rest of the farmers shouted.

Ziyou then ordered the villagers to make traps, and put the ropes on the three roads entering the village. At the same time, four people were divided into three groups to ambush in the street, and the long sticks were made into traps for picking up leaks.

Looking at the traps that have been set up, Ziyou looked at Li Xi beside him and said
"Ah Xi, 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. 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 behind, Li Xi gradually became determined in his eyes, and went to prepare according to Ziyou's arrangement.

A burst of dust and smoke rose, and Donghu's cavalry looked at Li Xi at the entrance of the village and roared.

"Boys, charge with me to enjoy the treasures and women of the Central Plains people!" The leading cavalry saw Li Xi cheering and running towards the village.

The rest of the cavalry roared and rushed over, waving their knives. Zi You, who was standing on the roof, pointed a strong bow at the charging cavalry. As his hand loosened, a sharp arrow shot a The cavalry shot down, but this did not stop the pace of these barbarian cavalry, and each of them became more excited.

"Catch that man in white, brothers, and I'll reward him with two women," shouted the leading cavalryman.

They have long been accustomed to this kind of resistance, and the more they resisted him, the more excited they became. They remembered that during the previous looting, those people were running for their lives in front, and they were playing with them like cat and mouse behind them. Hearing the screams of those Central Plains people made him Extra excited.

The leading cavalry leader Zhang Gong shot an arrow at Ziyou. Ziyou dodged the arrow with his side face, and shot down another cavalry with his bow and arrow. In this way, five or six Hu cavalry were shot down. .

At this time, these barbarian cavalry had already approached the entrance of the village.
"Rush in from the three entrances in batches, and don't let anyone go." The leader shouted, and the cavalry of more than 100 people suddenly divided into dozens and rushed towards the other two village entrances.

The rest of the cavalry charged into the village without stopping. As soon as they entered the village, when the horseshoe broke the string, more than a dozen sharpened wooden sticks shot out and killed the cavalry at the front. Ziyou continued to shoot arrows. Angrily, the leader ordered a dozen cavalrymen to charge, while he led his men on the spot, and the hunters lying in ambush on both sides immediately pulled up the bridle rope. Following the inertial charge, the cavalrymen at the front fell off their horses one after another, and the cavalrymen behind them stopped. the horses.

The leader of the cavalry waved his weapon and cut the rope, looked at the silent village and said

"You five go in first."

Five barbarian cavalrymen got off their horses 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. The end was directly inserted into the abdomen of a barbarian, and the strong momentum made the wooden stick directly penetrate the barbarian's abdomen, and the person behind him flew upside down.

The remaining three people were frightened by this sudden scene. They never expected that someone had such strange power. When the three of them came back to their senses, another wooden stick flew towards them, but this time Li Xi's aim was a bit off. On the contrary, one person's thigh was directly pierced. Seeing this scene, the remaining two cavalry rushed towards Li Xi brandishing their scimitars.

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 saw the rushing man waving the spear, and hit one of them with a blow. The person only felt as if he had been hit by a chariot. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew out like a shrimp. The blood splashed on Li Xi's face.

Li Xi's eyes were covered by a burst of blood red, his arms trembled slightly, resisting the nausea in his heart, dodged another person's slash, killed this person neatly, and disappeared into the alley, looking at the blood in his hand , Li Xi panted heavily. Although he had killed many beasts, this was the first time he had killed. His heart was full of fear, and he kept telling the barbarians that they should not be considered human beings, they were animals.

The leader of the cavalry looked at the tragic death of his subordinates, so he could only wave his hands to signal his subordinates to enter again. Three trembling cavalry rode into the village. The soldiers who watched their tragic death on the ground were full of fear. Although they had killed people before , but this was the first time I saw someone who died so badly. A wooden stick pierced through the two of them, their intestines and blood were mixed together, their faces were full of pain and fear, and one of them was screaming in pain.

"Give him a good time."

At the same time, the 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. Dozens of wooden sticks shot out and killed more than a dozen cavalrymen on the spot. , The hunters stretched their bows and arrows one after another.
