Chapter 136: Prohibited Weapons

Chen Xu dismounted to check the injuries of You Xuan and several soldiers.

A few minutes later, the chief of the pavilion who reported the news also arrived out of breath, and Chen Xu said a few words of advice again before he galloped towards the county seat.

At this time, it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning, the weather was a little gloomy, and there seemed to be signs of rain, and Chen Xu could only pray that there would not be a rainstorm immediately, and after briefly dealing with the injuries of several people, he waited anxiously.

The pavilion chief and several other soldiers did not hurt the vital parts, although the arrows and swords in the body, but they were not worried about their lives, but You Yu was seriously injured, an arrow was just inserted in the right chest, injuring the lungs, and the blood loss was already unconscious, Chen Xu did not dare to move, only casually pulled some herbs to stop bleeding nearby and chewed them before applying them to the wound.

Nearly half an hour passed, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, and the town's doctor rode an old horse slowly.

"Quick, bring the wound medicine, bandages, and scissors!"

Chen Xu couldn't wait to catch up, took a rattan box from the hand of the dizzy doctor, and opened it, revealing several neatly wound rolls of fine linen bandages and fine twine, some bamboo tubes containing hemostatic powder, as well as a pair of scissors, a few knives and a few thin copper needles, these things were specially built by Chen Xu in the blacksmith shop in the town, and a total of twenty or thirty dollars were spent, the purpose was to save emergencies, which was similar to the first aid kits of later generations.

"Hurry up to the river and wash your hands and prepare for surgery!" After Chen Xu looked through the things, he walked to You Xuan's side, first cleaned all the herbs on his abdominal wound, and then took out the needle and thread and began to stitch it.

Because of the experience of stitching Yu Wuya last time, and this time it was also fully prepared, the copper needles were all brand new, and the polishing was very sharp, so Chen Xu sewed up the wound after a few pounces, and then applied medicinal powder and wrapped it in a bandage, and looked at the arrow inserted into his chest, Chen Xu hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and carefully cut the flesh at the arrow position with a knife, until he saw the ribs, he stopped, and then held the arrow shaft tightly with both hands and took a deep breath.

"Poof~" The arrow came out in response, and at the same time, a stream of blood splashed up and pounced on Chen Xu's face, and the originally angry Youzhu also trembled, and there was no movement at all, Chen Xu quickly touched his nose with his hand, and found that the snort was still alive and not dead, so he breathed a sigh of relief and poured half a cartridge of hemostatic powder at the wound position, and then wrapped it with a bandage with the help of the doctor.

"Go get a bowl of water to give him some internal potion!" Chen Xu wiped the blood on his face with a T-shirt, and then turned to deal with other injured people.

Another half an hour passed, and with the sound of messy footsteps and shouting, a large group of villagers ran along the road with knives, guns and sticks, and they were tired and out of breath, and at this time Chen Xu had already dealt with all the injuries of the injured.

"Xu Yibu, you arrange for some people to use ox carts to get the wanderers and the injured back to the town, take care of them carefully, and feed some light salt water and honey water first! Remember to feed your medicine on time! After Chen Xu wiped the sweat rolling down his forehead and gave the order, he watched more than a dozen villagers straighten the overturned ox cart, and then carried You Gu and a few injured people to the ox cart and pulled them away, and then sat on the ground, panting and looking at the path leading to the depths of the mountain.

Yu Wuya has been in for more than an hour and hasn't returned, I don't know what the situation is?

But for now, he can only wait, wait for Yu Wuya to come back, and wait for the soldiers from the county town to arrive, otherwise just with the group of peasants in front of him, once they break into the deep mountains and are surrounded by mountain bandits, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

All he worried about was the captive men and the grain.

And the suppression of bandits is the business of the county lieutenant, and it has nothing to do with him.

"Paralyzed, I hope God willing, travel to this era of dog days, what a special day dog!" Chen Xu smiled helplessly, and then picked up the three arrows pulled out of the injured person to watch.

These arrows are well-made, about a foot long, the arrow shaft is straight, the arrow is made of fine copper, and it is brand new, he turned over and looked at it several times, and finally saw a few small characters in the seal script at the end of the arrow shaft, but he didn't recognize it after looking at it for a long time, so he could only continue to wait anxiously.

This waited for more than an hour, and then with the faint neighing of war horses and the dense sound of kicking, it seemed that dozens of horses were galloping towards them, and more than a hundred villagers gathered around Chen Xu also stood up and looked around.

Soon, a group of thirty soldiers in leather armor rode up, and the leader was a burly and tall middle-aged man, dressed in bronze armor and majestic, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a pair of copper swords hanging next to the saddle.

"Where is the pawn and the tour in Qinghe Town?" As soon as the big man raised his hand, more than thirty war horses behind him were almost strangled at the same time, and the big man shouted angrily in the fluttering panting.

The villagers in the town hurriedly dispersed, and Chen Xu strode to the horse and saluted: "Chen Xu has seen the county lieutenant in Qinghe Town!" ”

"What about Liu Po?" The county lieutenant looked at Chen Xu condescendingly.

"You Jiao was seriously injured and unconscious, and has been sent back to Qinghe Town!" Chen Xu replied.

"Then why are you still waiting here, why don't you hurry up and hunt down the mountain bandits?" The county lieutenant shouted angrily again.

Chen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly, handed the three crossbow arrows in his hand to the county lieutenant and said: "My lord, it's not that I don't want to chase it, but I'm worried that there will be no return, my lord, please see, this is the arrow shot by the bow and crossbow held by the mountain bandits, it is extremely sharp, we have no armor, and I am afraid that catching up will only increase the casualties sharply!" ”

The county lieutenant stretched out his hand and took the three arrows and looked at them, and his face suddenly changed: "Light?!" ”

"My lord, this kind of crossbow arrow can't be made by mountain bandits, and it is extremely well-made, so I guess if someone in the government secretly robbed the mountain bandits of the tax grain in Qinghe Town!" Chen Xu nodded and said.

"You're right, this crossbow arrow is a standard light bolt that can only be equipped by my Great Qin horseman, with a range of eighty zhang, as for how it will fall into the hands of the mountain bandits, it remains to be investigated, but the current thing is that the tax grain must be recovered, you wait for me to follow me into the mountain!" The county lieutenant Fang Kuan casually put three crossbow arrows into the quiver next to the saddle, and then drove the horse to the unusually messy path where it had been trampled with a clamp on the horse's belly.

As a veteran who had experienced several major wars and had served as a county lieutenant for several years, Fang Kuan could see the whereabouts of the robbers at a glance.

"Slow down, adult!" Chen Xu hurriedly stopped Fang Kuan, "I have a friend who has already gone into the mountain to track down the whereabouts of the mountain bandits, and it is estimated that he will return soon, I suggest waiting until he comes back and asking about the whereabouts of the mountain bandits and the situation in the mountains before taking action, otherwise it will be dangerous to rush into the mountains." ”

"No, the soldiers are fast, the situation in the mountains is complicated, once the mountain bandits are hidden, it is impossible to find them, you must act immediately, go!"

Fang Kuan rejected Chen Xu's suggestion, and rushed into the mountains and forests along the path with more than 30 horsemen, Chen Xu had to smile bitterly and order the villagers in the town to also bring weapons and follow them into the mountains.
