Compared with the troops under Danyunwei Lin Jian, Tianshu Pavilion has too few people in Huangzhou.
Even after the Lianzhou Mine incident, most of the people transferred to Lianzhou followed him north. However, due to the Holy Moon Sect incident, some people were left in Xingzhou to assist the newly appointed Xingzhou Inspector Xue Lian. Therefore, the number of people following Qi Xu now was only a hundred at most.
Among them, some people were assigned to handle other matters. At this time, there were only fifty or sixty people left in the villa.
Compared with the number of people Lin Jian sent to test the team continuously, the difference is more than one or two times.
It was still manageable once or twice, but if it happened a few more times, I'm afraid the fifty or sixty people around me wouldn't be able to handle it. ?
"Master, Yingwu has already hidden the person."
"Ying Liu has also set the trap." Two Tianshu Pavilion Anbu guards landed beside Qi Xu one after another.
Qi Xu nodded slightly, "Leave two members of the Anbu here to watch over the courtyard, and the rest of you follow me to lead the group of barbarians away."
They don't have much time left.
Just as the people from Tianshu Pavilion withdrew from the villa, the team that Wei Yunlan and his team had encountered earlier was only a few miles away from the villa of Cao Mansion.
Riding a horse at full speed, the distance of those miles is like nothing.
But that was for other people. For the well-trained people in Tianshu Pavilion, they had plenty of time to disappear before the team arrived and make it impossible for the other side to figure out their route.
But they did the opposite and deliberately made a noise so that the scouts sent by that team could see them.
As Qi Xu expected, when the team learned that Master Cao and the Prince of the Northern Barbarians were no longer in the Cao Mansion's villa, they decisively chose to change their route.
When passing by Cao's villa, he didn't stop at all, but went straight in the direction where Qi Xu and others left.
"Master, they really caught up with us!"
"Hiss, there are quite a few barbarians in the team behind..."
The comfort beside me gasped.
Qi Xu also took a moment to turn around and take a look.
The barbarian who was originally riding at the end of the team has now come to the front with weapons in hand.
Looking at the mixed group of barbarians and the Dayong soldiers beside them who were wearing armor and holding weapons, Qi Xu felt a sense of irony.
At the northern border, how many Dayong soldiers and generals died at the hands of the barbarians?
At this time, these Dayong soldiers, under the orders of their superiors, fought side by side with these barbarians, with whom they had a blood feud.
If the ancestors of the Qi family buried in the imperial mausoleum saw this scene, they would probably be so angry that they would jump out of the tombs one by one!
"The person in front, stop!"
Liu Tong rode his horse behind a sturdy northern barbarian and shouted at the front.
Qi Xu and others turned a deaf ear and continued to rush forward.
Seeing this, the Northern Barbarian curled his lips and said, "Why waste time talking to them? Surround them and capture them first."
With only fifty or sixty people, they might not be enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of the northern barbarian warriors he brought with him. It is not known whether each of them can get a turn.
"Speaking of which, you Dayong soldiers are really useless. You can't even capture 50 or 60 people, and you still need us to take action."
The leading northern barbarian waved his hand and directed the northern barbarian men behind him, "Brothers, go ahead and show these weaklings what you can do!"
"Go!" The strong men from the north rushed forward on horseback, holding swords and knives.
But in the next moment, several "whoosh" sounds of breaking through the air were heard.
Several barbarians running in the front were hit by arrows hidden in the dark and fell off their horses.
"Stop!" The leading northern barbarian shouted to his subordinates immediately, and then said to Liu Tong beside him, "Let your men go up and entangle them first."
Liu Tong's eyes widened in disbelief, "What?"
Isn't this just letting his men die?
"Don't talk nonsense. Your Lord Lin said that you must fully cooperate with our actions."
The northern barbarian said impatiently, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you let them come forward? Otherwise, if they run away, I'll see how you'll report to Lord Lin!"
Seeing that he had brought up the names of his superiors, Liu Tong had no choice but to respond and let the soldiers behind him who were affiliated with the Danyun Guard Station step forward.
Sure enough, the sound of the arrow breaking through the air did not occur again.
With the cover of the Dayong soldiers, the strong men from the northern barbarians were finally able to get close to the people from Tianshu Pavilion.
Seeing this, the leading northern barbarian sneered and muttered softly, "You are so soft-hearted that you dare not shoot arrows? You deserve to die in the hands of our northern barbarians!"
The northern barbarian laughed ostentatiously, but the next moment, his smile froze at the corners of his mouth.
Most of the Dayong soldiers who had been cooperating with the barbarians suddenly fell down, and the remaining half also fell down one after another in the next few breaths.
But after a moment, the only people standing were the northern barbarians.
The archers hiding in the dark had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
The "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air was heard again.
This time, more barbarians were hit by arrows than last time.
In just a short moment, only less than 70% of the one hundred northern barbarians were left.
"Except for the leader, capture him alive and interrogate him. The rest should be executed on the spot, leaving no one alive." Qi Xu gave the order in a cold voice.
His sight passed over the two parties fighting in front of him and met with the barbarians who were also sitting on horseback opposite him.
The murderous look in his eyes made the barbarian feel a chill in his heart.
A feeling of danger spread from the bottom of my heart.
His intuition told him that the ordinary-looking man opposite him was no simple person.
Perhaps because the living environment is too harsh, many barbarians have the sharp intuition of wild beasts and they trust their intuition very much.
The leading northern barbarian immediately gave the order: "First kill the man in black standing in front of us!"
As he spoke, he also took action, drew out his sword, and rushed out on his horse.
Joining him in the attack were five other barbarians.
Six tall and strong barbarians pounced on Qi Xu at the same time.
Seeing this scene, Liu Tong couldn't help but mourn for the man opposite him.
These powerful northern barbarians could tear the man to pieces even if one of them just stepped forward and gave him a handful of blows.
He seemed to have seen the blood-spattering scene...
He looked away reluctantly, and then heard a cry of surprise. Liu Tong quickly turned around and looked back.
Just as expected, blood splattered everywhere.
The blood did not splash from the black-clothed man opposite, but from one of the barbarians who pounced on him.
The barbarian's head had now been moved from his neck.
It flew in the air and turned into an arc, landing right in front of Liu Tong.
