Chapter 87 The Longbow in Hand
Khitan White Rider.

Hearing what the Hu girl said, Li Chongjiu thought that the Khitan tribe was Shangbai, and his ancestors had a story about riding a white horse to meet a woman and multiply the family.Today, among the ten Khitan tribes, the Dahe clan is the head of the tribal alliance, and the Khitan white cavalry should be the elite of the Khitan tribe.

However, according to the same custom, for the Central Plains people, white is a fierce color, and it is only worn for funerals, and it is also the color of common people, such as white body and white clothes.

These hundreds of Khitan white riders, obviously all of them were skilled in riding and archery, they galloped down the mountain, shouting and shooting arrows all the way towards the Xibu camp surrounded by tall chariots.

In the Xi Clan's camp, the dozen or so dogs with big hairs all over their bodies that looked like calves faced the mountain top, got up and roared fiercely, reminding their masters that there was an enemy attack.With the warning horn and beacon, Xi Ren was already prepared.

The Xi people set up their villages, and they have always used the circular carts as their camp. This is many years earlier than the circular cart formations when the Boers migrated.Xi Ren's tall chariots are very strong and tall, Xi chariots (Note [-]) can prevent the opponent's cavalry from entering, and there are wooden sheds on the chariots, which are covered with felt and silk to block bow and arrow attacks.

Li Chongjiu and the girl from the Hu people watched from the lakeside. Seeing the Khitan attacking, no matter men, women or children of the Xi people tribe, they all stopped their fellows and went to get their bows and arrows. Shouting, the two men shot arrows together to defend against the Khitan attack.

Seeing Xi Ren's reaction speed, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but praise. The transformation speed of the grassland herdsmen, soldiers and civilians was only in a moment, and under the scheduling, there was no sign of panic.

Arrows from both sides exchanged arrows, Khitan white riders saw that they couldn't get into the formation of Xi people's chariots, so they pulled the reins and scattered away with a bang. .

From this we can see that the leader of the Khitan white cavalry is also a person who is proficient in the art of war, knowing that he cannot attack by force, so he turns to massacre other tribesmen, if they go out to rescue them, they will be lured out.If they didn't save each other, they could only watch as the Khitan slaughtered their own people and plundered their cattle, sheep and horses.The flocks of sheep, cattle, and horses grazing on the hillside were scattered by the conflicts of the Khitans.

The Khitan white cavalry, dressed in white wool felt fur, cruised in all directions, turning to shoot the shepherds nearby.Although the herdsmen of Xibu also resisted, they had no choice but to disperse, and secondly, their riding and shooting skills were not as good as the Khitan white cavalry that had been so carefully selected, so they were slaughtered on the one hand.

The Hu girl clenched her fists tightly. Li Chongjiu knew that she would never feel good seeing the scene of the tribe being massacred.

But at this time, five or six Khitan riders all the way, chasing more than a dozen herdsmen, were coming towards the birch forest.

The dozen or so herdsmen, including men, women, and children, obviously had no horses, so they could only run on foot, hoping to hide in the birch forest and rely on the dense forest to prevent the opponent's cavalry from entering.

It's a pity that the Khitan cavalry is obviously faster, and they are still shooting arrows on the horse. I saw these a dozen herdsmen, running halfway, they all shot arrows in their backs and rushed to the road ahead.

These dozens of Khitan white riders laughed even louder.

The Hu girl was so angry that her chest swelled up, she suddenly yelled, and said: "Khitan dog, I am Princess Xibu, if you have the guts to catch me, don't hurt my people!"

When the sound came out suddenly, Li Chongjiu raised his eyes and looked at the barbarian girl, wondering if the other party was insane. His life was sent in together.

As a result, the barbarian girl shouted, and the Khitan riders divided into four and charged towards the dense forest.

Seeing that there were many people on the other side, Li Chongjiu couldn't help turning his head away from the girl, and shouted, "Where is the horse?"

The barbarian girl raised her head high and said, "When you die, you will die. What are you afraid of? Sure enough, Eminem said that all Han people are afraid of death."

"Where is the horse?" Li Chongjiu shouted again.

The barbarian girl seemed to be a little afraid of Li Chongjiu after being drunk, and pointed at the edge of the forest.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu grabbed the girl's hand and walked away quickly. This girl is Princess Xibu. If she holds it in his hands, she will definitely be a rare commodity, so even though she is a little brain-dead, she can't let her go.

Li Chongjiu and the girl ran to the place they pointed out, and there really was a white horse grazing with its head bent.

The girl pursed her lips to whistle, the white horse raised its head, and ran to the girl and Li Chongjiu cheerfully.

Li Chongjiu saw that the white horse still had a quiver, and besides the bow, there were more than a dozen arrows.With the bow in hand, Li Chongjiu was overjoyed at the moment, so he got on the saddle, picked up the girl and put it on his chest.

At this time, more than ten Khitan cavalry gathered together and came towards Li Chongjiu, as if they had already known the girl's identity.

Seeing that the Khitan white rider was approaching aggressively, the girl sighed instead, stroked the mane of her own white horse, and said: "Horse, horse, I'm sorry that you have been implicated, and you will die here with me."

Hearing that Li Chongjiu sneered, he was no stranger to the girl's absurd thinking, so he clamped his legs and drove away.

The young girl's white horse is a good steed, and after she galloped up instantly, her ears pierced the wind. If she hadn't carried two people on her back, she should have been able to throw off the Khitan white horse in one go.

It's a pity that in the current situation, more than a dozen Khitan cavalry are chasing closer and closer.

The Khitan cavalry kept shouting, seeing the two of them not stopping, they immediately started to shoot arrows!
The arrow feathers passed by the side of the horse, the girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, Li Chongjiu looked fearless, immediately picked up the bow, put on the arrow, and turned around with an arrow.

Only the neighing of a war horse was heard.

A Khitan white rider turned over and fell off his horse instantly!
Good archery!The girl looked at the Khitan man whose head was pierced by Li Chongjiu's arrow, and couldn't help applauding!

what is this!
Li Chongjiu said in a low voice, when Khitan Baiqi disregarded his companion's death, but approached again, Li Chongjiu was not polite at that moment.
Immediately, a crowd of people behind them turned their backs on their horses, only to see Li Chongjiu shooting out nine arrows, and the Khitan white cavalry fell down without responding.

markit!

The barbarian girl couldn't help talking to Li Chongjiu happily.

"What do you mean?"

Li Chongjiu asked after forcing the Khitan white cavalry back.

"In Chinese, you are a sharpshooter! You are so powerful, thank you for avenging my people!" The girl looked at Li Chongjiu and said, but her eyes were bright.

Although he was praised by the girl, Li Chongjiu was not in the mood to be happy, he saw another dozen or so Khitan riders rushing in front of him, and now they were gathered by his companions and surrounded him.

Seeing this scene, the girl couldn't help but change color.

Woohoo!

The Khitan people's horns blared loudly, and there were many Khitan white horsemen in the distance, they put down the people of the Xi clan, and approached them instead.

Seeing the danger, Li Chongjiu drove the horse even faster.

Seeing that there was a large lake on the right that could not be ridden on, Li Chongjiu pulled the reins and turned to the left.

The horses cut diagonally, but the Khitans came down from the hillside at full speed, opened their nets, and spread towards Li Chongjiu.

Seeing Khitan Baiqi approaching from the right side, outflanking him, trying to trap Li Chongjiu.

People from the nearby Xi tribe were all sweating for them.

Li Chongjiu immediately crossed his right arm with the bow, drew the bow with his left hand, and shot five arrows in a row.

Long arrows are like electricity!

Five Khitan cavalrymen, like sacks, were picked off their horses heavily.

The Khitan people shot and killed by Li Chongjiu all died of being shot in the head without exception.

Seeing Li Chongjiu's amazing archery skills, the girl's eyes widened and she was speechless for a while.On the other side, in Xiren's car camp, a very dignified woman in her 30s was guarded by a dozen big men of the Xi clan.

She couldn't help seeing this scene, pointed at Li Chongjiu, and asked to the left and right: "How can this man carrying Yun'er have such superb archery skills? Why haven't I seen it in the clan before?"

Note [-]: Xi people were still good at building chariots, especially large chariots. They were so famous that until the Northern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains still called the chariots made by northern nomads and Khitan people as Xi chariots.
