Chapter 43, Trust Me

The highly anticipated four cavalry teams set off last night, and now they have infiltrated Zhao State and Lijiazhuang separately.

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

"Ah Xi, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Ziyou, Mr. Gongsun, is the Donghu cavalry." Li Xi turned over and dismounted and said breathlessly.

Today, he and a few men from the same village went up the mountain to hunt, and unexpectedly saw about a hundred or so Hu cavalry, and they didn't care about hunting, so they hurriedly scattered to inform the various villages and the nearest city guard.

"Donghu cavalry? Did you read that right? Ziyou asked, now that the Hu people and the Xiongnu are facing off against Li Mu at Yanmen Pass, how can they come here, and the cavalry force of more than 100 people is not a small force.

"That's right, I can't be mistaken, last year it was this kind of cavalry that attacked a village dozens of kilometers away, and their direction was our village." Li Xi said.

"Ah Xi, inform the men in the village to take the women and children to take refuge in the mountain, the cavalry of the Donghu people will not go up the mountain, and at the same time let the hunters in the village bring their weapons and prepare to deal with the arrival of these people." Ziyou said.

"Yes sir." Li Xi was just about to leave.

"By the way, Ah Xi, let the people in the village prepare some more ropes and long sticks, sharpen one end of the long stick, Brother Gongsun asked you to inform the other villages to take refuge in the mountain." 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 the cavalry of Donghu charged in such a place, even if it was thousands of people, they would not be able to stop the cavalry of more than 100 people, but it was a pity that the current bow and crossbow array In addition to the good play of the Qin State, other countries pay more attention to chariots and foot soldiers.

Soon a dozen hunters followed to the entrance of the village.

"Sir, what do you want these things for?" Li Xi asked.

"These Hu cavalry are definitely going to plunder the village, since they dare to come, then leave them behind, do you dare to return to these cavalry with me." Ziyou said.

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

"Sir, you're joking, we're only fifteen people, and the other side has nearly a hundred, or cavalry, how can we keep them?" Said one of the hunters.

Even Li Xi, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, also showed a look of embarrassment, although he was very reckless, but he was not stupid, how could fifteen people fight three hundred cavalry.

"I know, but do you believe me? I'm sure I'll take you to keep them, these cavalry targets are us, and if we can't buy time for the villagers to evacuate to the mountains, you know what awaits them. Ziyou looked at these people and said.

"I listen to sir, sooner or later, they will die, and it will not be a loss to let everyone evacuate and die." Li Xiyi gritted his teeth and said.

"Nice sir." The rest of the farmers shouted.

Ziyou then began to instruct the villagers to make traps, placing ropes on the three paths into the village, while the four of them divided into three groups and ambushed in the streets, and the long sticks were made into traps to pick up leaks.

Looking at the traps that had been arranged, Ziyou looked at Li Xi on the side and said

"Ah Xi, do you believe me?"

"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? Mr. Li Xi asked uncertainly.

"You can, if you really want to make a mark on the battlefield, that's the first step." Ziyou patted Li Xi's shoulder and said.

Ziyou went on to arrange other things, leaving Li Xi with a complicated face, Li Xi's eyes gradually became resolute, and he went to prepare according to Ziyou's arrangement.

There was a burst of dust and smoke, and Donghu's cavalry looked at Li Xi at the entrance of the village and roared.

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

The rest of the cavalry roared and waved the knife in his hand and rushed over, Zi You, who was standing on the roof, held a strong bow in his hand and aimed it at the cavalry who were charging forward, and as his hand was loosened, a sharp arrow shot down a cavalryman, but this did not stop the pace of these Hu cavalry, and one by one they became even more excited.

"The brothers caught the man in white, and I rewarded him with two women." The leading cavalry shouted.

They have long been accustomed to this kind of resistance, the more they resist him, the more excited he becomes, thinking of the previous robbery, those people fled for their lives in front, they played with them like cats and mice behind them, listening to the screams of those Central Plains people made him particularly excited.

The leader of the cavalry opened his bow and shot an arrow at Ziyou, Ziyou dodged the arrow with his side face, and shot another cavalryman with his bow and arrow, so that five or six Hu cavalry were shot down.

At this time, these Hu cavalry had 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 a hundred people suddenly divided into dozens and rushed towards the other two village entrances.

The rest of the cavalry did not stop attacking the village, just entered the village as the horse's hooves broke the rope, more than a dozen sharpened wooden sticks shot out from the front of the cavalry, Ziyou was still shooting arrows, the leader was angry and let a dozen cavalry charge, and he himself took people in place, the hunters who were ambushed on both sides immediately pulled up the tripping rope, and with the inertia of the charge, the cavalry at the front fell from their horses, and the cavalry in the rear pulled the horses one after another.

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

"You five go in first."

The five Hu cavalry dismounted and walked into the village, and when they hadn't walked a few steps, Li Xi, who was dozens of steps away, was holding a wooden stick, looking at the five Hu people, and threw the wooden stick in his hand hard, and the sharp end was directly inserted into the abdomen of a Hu person, and the strong momentum made the wooden stick directly penetrate the abdomen of the Hu people, and flew out directly with the person behind him.

The remaining three people were frightened by this sudden scene, they never thought that someone would have such a strange power, and when the three of them came back to their senses, another wooden stick flew in, but this time Li Xi's head was a little off, and it was directly inserted into one person's thigh, seeing this scene, the remaining two cavalrymen rushed towards Li Xi with a scimitar.

Seeing this, Li Xi picked up the spear on the side, this is what is in their ancestral hall, left by an ancestor, Li Xi looked at the rushing wielding spear, and hit one of them, this person only felt as if he was hit by a chariot, a mouthful of blood spit out, and the whole person flew out upside down like a shrimp, and the blood was sprinkled on Li Xi's face.

Li Xi's eyes were covered by a burst of blood red, his arm trembled slightly, he endured the nausea in his heart, dodged another person's slash, and neatly killed this person and disappeared into the alley, looking at the blood in his hand, Li Xi gasped, although he had killed many beasts, but it was the first time to kill someone, his heart was full of fear, and he kept warning Hu people that they could not be regarded as people, they were beasts.

The cavalry leader looked at his subordinates who died tragically, and could only wave his hand to signal a few of his subordinates to enter again, and the three trembling cavalrymen rode into the village on horseback, looking at the soldiers who died tragically on the ground, their eyes were full of fear, although they had killed people, but it was the first time they had died so miserably, a wooden stick penetrated the two people, intestines and blood were mixed together, their faces were full of pain and fear, and one person was screaming in pain on the side.

"Give him a good time."

At the same time, these cavalry at the entrance 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 shot out and shot more than a dozen cavalrymen on the spot, and then they stumbled on the horse, and when they saw these cavalry landing, the hunters opened their bows and arrows.
