Chapter 7 Fighting Bravely
Lu Ning looked at the leader and didn't say anything for a long time. He knew that he wouldn't say anything. If he didn't give some color to others, they wouldn't bow their heads. If he didn't kill someone to establish his authority, no one would dare to say it.
Lu Ning immediately asked someone to chop the little leader up and present his head.
Lu Ning said to the group of horse thieves again: "Whoever says it first, I will release whoever says it right, if anyone doesn't say it, beheads."
Now, the group of horse thieves rushed to speak out. According to what they said, the leader of the group of horse thieves was named Li You, with more than 220 people under his command. There are about 180 people in the mountain village. Most of them are from peasants, most of them are hunters. Most of their families were killed by Xianbei, Xiongnu and government officials. They were forced to become horse thieves. Their leader Li You was also from hunters, and the family was killed by Xianbei cavalry.
After hearing their words, Lu Ning said to them: "You are so sad that you forget the pain. You are all from poverty. You have all been bullied by the government. Your relatives are all killed by the cavalry of the Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes. Why don't you go to seek revenge on them? Not only do you not avenge your own revenge, but you also bully the common people like you. Your conscience is drunk by dogs, right? If you have the ability and are a man, then go to fight against the Xianbei tribe, fight against the Xiongnu barbarians, and bully the common people. They are heroes of that school."
The horse thieves were scolded by Lu Ning and lowered their high heads. Lu Ning probably blamed themselves deep in their hearts.
Lu Ning said to them: "I will let you go back first. Let me tell your leader Li You that he has two ways to go. One is that from now on, you are not allowed to deceive the people again. If you have the ability to fight against the Xianbei people and the Xiongnu, you will send back all the things he snatched from Shanhou Village, and ask him to send more money and grain to help the people of Shanhou Village. This is his compensation to the people of Shanhou Village. If this is the case, he can bring back his brothers, otherwise he will collect the bodies. The second way is that if he is not convinced, he can bring his hands down to attack us. I will wait for him here."
After the little Lou Luo left, Lu Ning asked the captured horse thief to find a house for temporary control, and asked the villagers to quickly arrange mechanisms, traps, and various traps were arranged densely and largely. They were all used against the cavalry. The villagers all took action, digging pits and placing piles, and anyway, they were all used for hunting.
It was dusk, and the horse thief Li You came with his large number of men. Lu Ning asked the villagers to choose a good location to hide and asked them to attack the horse thieves in groups of two or three. The hunters asked them to shoot cold arrows at the horse thieves in secret.
Lu Ning ran to the entrance of the village to greet Li You and other horse thieves. Lu Ning himself was also very nervous and scared. After all, there were 170 to 80 horse thieves, so that was not a joke. Lu Ning could not avoid it, otherwise the villagers would have no confidence.
Lu Ning also knew that the knife in his hand was definitely a super treasure in this era, and there was probably no sword that could compete with it. This was not only a knife from the 21st century, but also a command knife of the Chinese army. Its performance can be imagined, and it was definitely made of the best steel. Although Lu Ning's crossbow was purchased on the black market, its performance should not be any problem. These also gave Lu Ning a confidence in winning.
Lu Ning was alone at the entrance of the village, standing more than ten meters behind the large trap, holding a crossbow. When Lu Ning saw Li You's cavalry coming quickly, about forty meters, the crossbow in Lu Ning's hand began to shoot. In an instant, Lu Ning shot out ten arrows and knocked down seven or eight horse thieves.
After Lu Ning shot, he turned around and ran back, because Lu Ning's crossbow is a small type and can only fit ten arrows at a time. If he fits after shooting, it will take some effort.
Seeing Lu Ning running away, Li You led a team of men Deng Xiang Lu Ning to run. They were riding horses and Lu Ning was running. If he ran slower, then Lu Ning would not be seeking death.
Lu Ning ran backwards. Seeing Li You's little Lou Luo breaking into the trap one after another, people were overturning their horses and screaming constantly. Some horse thieves fell off the war horse and rushed directly to the wooden thorns, and some wooden thorns penetrated the horse thief's body.
The dozen horses in front fell into the trap, and the thieves behind rushed forward one after another. Although they did not fall into the trap, they were all dismissed. Their horses could not be killed and were also crushed by the horses in front.
When the horse thieves discovered that there was a trap, they also moved forward cautiously. After all, most of them were hunters and still had certain ability to identify traps. Of course, there were sometimes horse thieves who stepped on traps in mechanisms.
The hunters hiding in the dark used their bows and arrows to shoot cold arrows on horse thieves. When Li You entered the village, his subordinates had lost one-third of their losses. Some of them were not dead, but they also lost their combat effectiveness. Then they greeted Li You and the others with horse ropes, stones, and sticks. The villagers fought and ran away.
The horse thieves had no way to catch them, so they had to get off the horse and search. The horse thieves pounced on the farmer's homes separately. Some stepped into the trap as soon as they entered the door, some fell from the door, and some hit the head as soon as they opened the door, and some accidentally hit a rope, and there were wooden sticks and arrows shot towards him immediately. Some were knocked down by bamboos and other institutions without knowing anything. Some were greeted by peeing and shit.
In a blink of an eye, Li You's subordinates screamed in the village, leaving no return, and there were only fifty or sixty people following Li You. At this time, the bows and arrows in the hands of hunters in the village shot them from the darkness. The horse thieves riding on the back of the horse would be killed or injured by the cold arrow shooting team if they were not careful.
As long as there are horse thieves who are alone, their horse legs will be attacked by sticks and hoes. At this time, the entire village is indeed a hell on earth for Li You and the others.
Li You and the others were scared, and they didn't dare to stay there. They wanted to escape. How could this work? Lu Ning finally invited them in and let them escape like this. It seemed disrespectful to us.
Lu Ning's crossbow had reloaded the crossbow arrows. Lu Ning led the villagers to kill the horse thieves. Lu Ning used the crossbow to shoot Li You's horse battle.
Li You was thrown to the ground by a war horse. Lou Luo, his subordinate, saw his leader falling off the war horse and turning back to come to rescue. What awaited them must be bows and arrows and knicks.
Lu Ning also killed the general with a sword in his hand, because Lu Ning found that he had reached ancient times and found that his strength was much greater than before, his ears were more sensitive and he could hear farther than before, and his eyes were the same. As long as Lu Ning gathered the central story to watch, he found that his opponent's speed was very slow, which made Lu Ning's move sufficiently prepared. These may be the changes that Lu Ning had taken through time and space.
When Lu Ning saw Li You stabbing a villager with the spear in his hand, Lu Ning stepped forward without hesitation and turned the knife in his hand towards his spear. Only a crisp sound was heard, and Li You's spear turned into two pieces. Then Lu Ning held the sword tightly in both hands and slashed hard at Li You. Li You did not dare to greet him, so he could only retreat, and Lu Ning continued to step forward and chopped again.
Although Lu Ning has not learned any swordsmanship, there are many slow-motion replays in modern movies and TV? There are no such moves in it. Lu Ning doesn't think about so many of them now. Anyway, he can use the knife as he can, and there is no trick to show off his skills. It's a bit like the samurai sword technique of the Japanese devil. The sword is ruthless and the moves are at its peak. Besides, Lu Ning also has a commanding knife in his hand.
