Chapter 31: The Day of Retreat VII

The Yulin Army beside him immediately held a gun to make a high alert, Ouyang Xuan waved his hand to stop the fighting posture made by the other Yulin Army, there are now 10,000 Yulin Army here, and they dare not guarantee that their guns will not go off. Waiting for the herdsman to come to him, he turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee in front of Ouyang Xuan, and wanted to stroke his chest, watching him raise his arm with difficulty, Ouyang Xuan hurriedly helped him up. "My brother, what's the trouble? Leaving you so badly injured? Ouyang Xuan asked with concern.

"Back to the noble headman, there is a sand bandit from the west, bypassing the mountain pass city (present-day Khujand, Tajikistan) and attacking the herdsmen tribe on the mountain, before my head of the tribe is dying, let me ask the nobleman for help." "Oh, and there are still sand bandits? It's so lively. Someone came, quickly healed his wounds, gathered two battalions on the left and right, and stayed behind in the back battalion. Fight the bandits with me". "No!" , Linghu Zhang, who was beside him, gave up his hand and went down to arrange. Taking advantage of the team's gathering, Ouyang Xuan checked the herdsman's injuries, all of them were bow and arrow wounds, and one arrow was in the right back, very close to the spine. With the assistance of the medical officer, it was quickly disinfected and debridement sutures were performed. Eight arrows were removed from its body, all of which were sharp, triangular iron arrows with three barbs. Looking at the arrows, Ouyang Xuan suddenly felt that this sand bandit was definitely not ordinary, if this kind of arrow was very simple to make in Huaxia Kingdom, but the horse bandit had such an arrow, it would be a little wrong. Ouyang Xuan has also been here for many years, and the Huaxia Kingdom alone has dispatched the whole army to kill all kinds of bandits more than ten times. It had been a few years since I heard of bandits in China, and now that they had suddenly appeared here, Ouyang Xuan felt more and more that there was a problem here.

After learning the approximate location of the sand bandits from the injured herdsmen, after the operation, Ouyang Xuan ordered the people and horses to be transported to the flying saucer and fly directly to the scene of the incident at night. In the evening, the 6,000 Yulin troops were assembled, leading their horses to board two large flying saucers, and Ouyang Xuan and his personal guards boarded small flying saucers. In the night, they formed a group in the air and went straight to the scene of the incident in a zigzag shape. The distance of 600 miles was imminent, and a preliminary reconnaissance of the ground was carried out in the sky above to confirm that no one was safe before landing and unloading the men and horses. The UFO team continued to search for the whereabouts of the sand bandits, and Ouyang Xuan led people to patrol around, this is the summer pasture camp of the Dawan herdsmen. Now it is a mess, the yurts have been burned, the cattle and sheep are gone, and the corpses of a dozen herders and a sand bandit are scattered throughout the camp. Ordered people to place the corpses in one place, and Ouyang Xuan carefully checked them one by one, some were knife wounds, and some were bow and arrow wounds. Bow wounds are the same as those of injured herders, but knife wounds are special, and they are very sharp blades that can easily cut off bones. From the wound surface, it is a curved saber with a heavier head. The sand bandit was a European who was killed by a herdsman with a knife. The bodies of the herdsmen were ordered to be buried according to the ritual system, and the bodies of the sand bandits were thrown into the valley to feed the wolves. Towards dawn the skeet team and the scouts returned, and bandits driving herders and sheep were spotted in the strip-shaped valley a hundred miles away. A total of 300 Europa bandits were detected by horse scouting, armed with broad-headed sabers. Ouyang Xuan immediately ordered the whole army to be fully armed, get on the flying saucer, and surround the valley as fast as possible to rescue the herdsmen.

Ouyang Xuan didn't want these sand bandits to live for one more minute, and regardless of the UFO night flight agreement reached with the Duliba people, while the sky was still dark, everyone quickly assembled and boarded their respective UFOs. The land of a hundred miles was only a short time, and 6,000 people divided into two parts to block the valley mouth on both sides. After the personnel were in place, Ouyang Xuan gave an order, and the Yulin Army galloped and went straight to the valley. By the time the two sides were engaged, the sun had just emerged. The Yulin Army has been training for many years, and now they can give it a go, how comfortable it is, rushing all the way down, these three hundred sand bandits have not yet reacted, and they have already become ghosts under the knife. But there was one exception, a leader with a Han face actually kidnapped a young boy, forced back the siege of several Yulin troops, and ran away to the ridge. Ouyang Xuan led the guards around him, and rushed all the way to a sand bandit without encountering it, not even having a chance to stretch out his hand. Seeing that the leader was about to run, he did not say a word, but hurried after him, and the guards followed.

Ouyang Xuan's horse was fast, naturally beyond the reach of the bandit leader's ordinary horses. In a moment, he was less than fifty paces away from the bandit leader, and the bandit leader was also in a hurry, turned around and threw the boy in his hand, and turned his horse to the side of the valley. Ouyang Xuan caught the child in the high-speed gallop, put the boy on the saddle bridge, turned the horse, and chased after the bandit leader. As you run, you take off your crossbow and wind it with a lever and you're done in one go. When the two horses still have a hundred paces, raise their hands and arrows, and hit the right shoulder of the bandit leader. This bandit leader is also a ruthless man, completely ignoring the wound of the crossbow arrow on his back, still beating his horse and galloping, not far from the valley is a vast grassland facing east and west. The bandit leader ran all the way to the sun, because there was a child on the saddle bridge, Ouyang Xuan didn't dare to increase the speed of the horse, pulled the rod again, and raised his hand to be an arrow. This time it hit the heart, and the bandit leader fell in response.

Just as Ouyang Xuan was about to walk in front of the bandit leader, the bandit leader stiffened up with a carp, stood up, gritted his teeth and raised his knife against the horse's head to slash. Ouyang Xuan had no choice but to pull the reins, his legs slammed, the horse's body jumped into the air, and he would cross the blade and take a hundred steps forward to stop, and the guards behind him followed, and the pistol in his hand had already sounded. First, he broke the bandit leader's right hand to raise his knife again, and then the two guards fired almost simultaneously, breaking both legs of the bandit leader.

Ouyang Xuan came back from the circle and saw the pistol in the guard's hand, only to remember that he only thought that this was the era of cold weapons for a while, and forgot that there were more modern ways of attacking, and he had to say that his thinking was a little rigid. Dismounted, picked up the boy, and handed him over to the guards to take care of, and at this time, the Yulin Army followed behind. Ouyang Xuan hung up his crossbow, drew his sword, and walked in front of the bandit leader. At a closer look, it was a Han man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, a blue linen robe, a square scarf on his head, and a wisp of beard floating under his chin. The crossbow bolt from the right arrow had already burst out of the bone, and the bullet from the Rohm bullet had broken both legs and right arm, and was gurgling with blood. "Are you Han?" , Ouyang Xuan will use his sword to raise the jaw of the bandit leader and say. "Yes or no, what does it matter? A bandit is a bandit, and if he falls into the hands of an official, he will die", he said and stood forward, wanting to commit suicide by hitting the sword, but Ouyang Xuan would not give him a chance. The sword moves as it pleases, and the tip of the sword moves backwards with the body. Until the bandit leader lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. "If you want to die, you will be fulfilled." As he spoke, with a flick of his wrist, the sword entered with a fontanelle on his head. The leader of the bandits was killed on the spot, and at this moment the dust gradually rose in the distance to the east, and the ground trembled, indicating that a large group of cavalry was coming towards him.

The Yulin Army behind Ouyang Xuan immediately held a gun in his hand and maintained a high state of alert. After a while, it finally became clear that it was a team of Huaxia troops, led by Peng Fei. Came to Ouyang Xuan and dismounted to give a salute. "The minister is late, and I ask Your Majesty to take the guilt." "Haha, it's all here, what's the sin. Have these bandits ever found out, where did they come from? ”。 Peng Fei saluted again: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister originally sent Tanma to closely monitor this group of horse bandits, but he suddenly disappeared five days ago, and yesterday the minister learned from Tanma that this group of sand bandits disturbed His Majesty here, and came day and night. This group of horse bandits was originally the remnants of the defeat of the Roman Empire in the Kingdom of Pontus outside the Great Wall, and they entered our country disguised as merchants, and the ministers also kept watching, and they were not exterminated because they did no evil. It's just that for some reason, after coming into contact with a Han Chinese, he suddenly got rid of the surveillance and disappeared." "Well, are there any other bandits in the territory?" Back to Your Majesty, there are still 1,000 red-haired horse bandits in the mountains of Xingzhou (formerly Great Xia), but they are only stationed in the mountains, and there is no sign of evil, and they have not yet been collected", Peng Fei immediately replied.

"Pay it, more than a dozen people have been killed and injured this time. Kill them with me, leave no mouths alive, slaughter them all, and their hearts will be different if they are not of my race. In addition, the Xingzhou and Zhanzhou sections of the Western Great Wall will be strictly guarded against, and if there are invaders, they will be wiped out." "No! But can we send troops outside the Great Wall? ”。“ There is no need, if our trade and travel are disturbed in other countries, we can send troops to destroy them, and even do not hesitate to drive people to slaughter cities, and make this festival clear to the envoys of various countries." "No! Chancellor understood. Take the country as a shield, protect the people and the outside, and protect the people. The minister knows how to handle it". "Go ahead and do it, you don't have to be polite to foreign races. Those who offend our Huaxia Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away, and they will clearly inform the envoys of various countries. The western part of China is the defense line of our Chinese country against foreigners, and it is the shield of the country, and there must be no mistakes, no matter what happens in the country, the western part cannot be lost. I set up the palace here, and I also did it to guard the shield, and with Peng Dudu here, I am very relieved."

"The minister understands, it's just that His Majesty's ministers have no intention of being an official here, and it is most meaningful to go back to His Majesty's side and ministers." "Haha, you can swap with Li Shangshu, General Xianyu, and General Linghu every few years. Don't waste the art of fighting outside, and train some elite soldiers in the army to maintain your talents." "No! Obey Your Majesty's teachings! ”。“ Go get busy, bring the words for me. In addition, with Li Shang and General Xian Yu, I will strictly guard the current prince, and if there is anything wrong, I will take it and abolish it, and Lizan's son Shantou will be the prince." "No! Now that the prince is under the discipline of Li Shangshu, he is still a little restrained." "I must not let him ascend the throne, I see that Hong'er is still in good health, and if I can't, I will go back to Xia Gu to ascend the throne. I can't let that rebel succeed. You go and get busy, and find the prefect of Manzhou to compensate the fallen shepherds according to the fallen soldiers. After all, they had risked their lives to inform me and reduce their losses. I see that these sand bandits have other plans for hijacking herdsmen, cattle and sheep, and I am afraid that they have other plans for secret hijacking and Tianshan Mountains. and I carefully investigated, especially the people from Han to closely monitor." "No!" Peng Fei took the order and left.

Ouyang Xuan checked the bandit leader, and the crossbow arrow in his back was on the iron scabbard behind his back. The corpses were hastily disposed of, and the Yulin Army rode back to the herdsmen's camp, more than a dozen herdsmen were injured, and Ouyang Xuan personally went into battle to properly dispose of them. After dealing with the herdsmen's affairs, he took the Yulin Army back to the palace at night. A few days later, Peng Fei wrote that the herdsmen who had died in battle had received the compensation they deserved. In the mountains of Xingzhou, a suspicious Han man was besieged, who was very good at kung fu, and several soldiers had been killed, and the Yulin army was specially asked for help. Without saying anything, Ouyang Xuan sent a battalion of Yulin Army to fly to Xingzhou overnight after joining Peng Fei in a flying saucer.

Under Ouyang Xuan's careful conditioning, the injured herdsman's injuries improved rapidly and he was able to ride horses, Ouyang Xuan gave him 100 breeding sheep and returned to the camp under the escort of the Yulin Army. When Peng Fei came back, the news he brought back was very bad, the Han man, kung fu was good, Yu Peng Fei fought for more than a thousand rounds, injured two Yulin soldiers, was beheaded by Peng Fei left arm, and escaped with a blindfold, chased by the Yulin army, fled east into the vast snow-capped mountains, more than a thousand horse bandits in the mountains were all annihilated, none of them survived.

Ouyang Xuan asked Peng Fei and a Yulin soldier who participated in the encirclement and suppression to demonstrate the process and moves of the fight, watching the two of them demonstrate one move at a time, Ouyang Xuan always felt that he had seen this unique trick used by the Han people somewhere, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. After listening to the trick again, it turned out that the Han man had raised his left arm before his arm was cut off, and a puff of yellow smoke was spewed out, and Peng Fei cut off his left upper arm. After shooting two feathered arrows at the same time in his right hand, he wounded two Yulin soldiers, and the horse escaped. Ouyang Xuan went to check on the injured Yulin soldier again, because he had benefited from the protection of the hail energy and armor for many years, but the epidermis was scratched a little, and the wound had already recovered, but there was a small black tumor left on the skin, so he quickly ordered someone to take the surgical instruments and anesthetic drugs, cut off the black tumor and threw it into the water, and the water turned green in an instant. Find a chicken, just get used to a drop of water, and the chicken will die instantly. The sheep was given some water, and after a while the sheep fell asleep and woke up half a day later. Tests have been carried out on a variety of animals and condemned prisoners, and it has been confirmed that this poison is a kind of numbness and drunk 1 dose that can make people get drunk quickly, only have a rapid effect on people, and directly kill birds. Fortunately, with the dual protection of armor and graupel energy, the amount of poison on the Hidden Arrow entered was small and did not spread, that is, it was engulfed by active macrophages, forming an envelope. Seeing the sleeve arrow, Ouyang Xuan remembered a name "Yunmeng Mountain", when did he run into the Himalayas, no wonder the master father Hong searched for a long time and didn't find it. Now he is missing again, and I don't know when he will reappear. Ouyang Xuan ordered someone to take the person's severed arm, and watched it carefully in the room, the mouth of the severed arm was very flat, the skin of the arm was rough, and the muscles were strong, indicating that this person had also been trained for a long time. The fingers are very distinctive, short and thick, and the ring finger is longer than the middle finger, and there is a blue bracelet on the wrist. The texture Ouyang Xuan had never seen before, and Ouyang Xuan really couldn't see that there were other clues.

For things that Ouyang Xuan didn't understand, he always went to one place, the base of the Duliba people. After carefully examining the bracelet, the elder carefully took it off, handed it to a clansman for identification, and casually placed the broken arm on the desk in the dark. I talked to the elders about some homely things and the situation in South America. The identified clansman came back and whispered a few words in the elder's ear. The elder's eyes lit up, and he listened to the report in his ears. The elder turned his head to Ouyang Xuan and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this thing has been identified as an energy carrier, not something from my planet. There is still some seven-dimensional space energy left on it. The energy stored in this carrier is weak, and no seven-dimensional space debris has been found on it, which is supposed to be a matter brought from this planet."

"Oh, what's the use of this thing other than carrying energy?" It can be used in metal manufacturing, it can activate metal memories, and it is similar to the additions on my planet", the elder replied immediately.

Ouyang Xuan was not interested, and turned to look at the broken arm, which was faintly bright in the dark, very faint. If it weren't for Ouyang Xuan's good eyesight, he wouldn't be able to see it. Got up, took his arm, and shielded his hand to confirm his observation. He handed it to the elder and said, "Elder, please also test this severed arm, I just noticed that it has a faint fluorescence." The elder took his arm, handed it to the clansmen, and after a few words, the clansmen immediately left the house. After a while, he whispered in the patriarch's ear. The elder nodded, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, this severed arm contains a very small amount of graupel energy, the activity is weak, it belongs to the primordial graupel energy, it comes from the ancient space", Ouyang Xuan was even more confused after hearing this. Ouyang Xuan was confused, looked at the elder in confusion, he was really bored with things like space, and got up to say goodbye.

When the elder stood up to send him off, he said, "Forgive my people for their incompetence, and all the techniques used are for the purpose of exploration. If the techniques taught by our people are used in war, the old man will be very disturbed, and I ask Your Majesty to understand our difficulties." Ouyang Xuan stopped, looked at the elder, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the elder still has something unspeakable?" ”
