Chapter 3 The Thorn Will Take the Horse
As the horn sounded, the Wusun soldiers quickly lined up according to the tribe, and in a moment, the noisy and chaotic assembly place fell silent, and there was no sound except the sneezing of the war horses. King Nan had already mounted his horse at this time, standing in front of the team surrounded by several tribal leaders, a black war horse came out of the team, a person on the horse, tall and burly, dressed a little differently, he actually wore a copper helmet, and carried a big sword behind his back, Ouyang Xuan looked at it from the side, the sword was one meter and five long, the sword was very thick and wide, judging from the color, it should be an iron sword, and drove the horse to the front of the South King horse, "Your Royal Highness the King of South, your warriors have been assembled, waiting for your order!" "The sound is like a bell. King Nan nodded slightly, "Warriors of the Kunlun God, the Dok people invaded the home given to us by the gods in the morning, killed the Sotken tribe, captured our sisters, and are coming towards us, and now we are in the Hutu River Valley, for the gift of the Kunlun God, for our sisters not to be humiliated, warriors, now we have to let them pay for their blood debts and set off!" The general with the sword on his back drew his big sword, turned his horse, waved his sword and pointed back, and the team of thousands of people turned the horse clockwise from right to left, galloping towards the mouth of the north valley. Out of the valley is the dense poplar forest by the river, along the pasture road by the river, all the way to the valley, soon to the valley mouth of the river out of the mountain, you can see the formation of the army on the other side of the river, the two armies across the river confront, are observing each other, Ouyang Xuan took the binoculars from the side of the backpack, carefully observed the other party, and found that it was a military formation composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled, it seemed that there were a lot of people, but it was obviously inferior to the Nanwang Department in terms of momentum and combat power, after all, the Nanwang Department was still composed of young and strong. Ouyang Xuan noticed the guy wearing a yellow cone hat in the middle of the opposite military formation, in the whole team, only he looked different, in his 40s, very burly, holding the reins in his left hand, his right hand drooping, holding a slightly black broad-backed thick knife, at first glance it was not a weapon from the Western Regions, brocade clothes and brocade hats, and the horses he rode down were also taller than everyone else's, black fur like brocade, shining in the sun, and his four legs and knees were yellow like gold. But there were no other weapons in his hands except two short knives, oh yes, and two Italian manganese steel mountaineering pickaxes, but they were also a little short, about the same as short knives.
After thinking about it, he turned his head to Wei Zheng next to him and said, "Brother, can you borrow a competent war knife for the next one?" Wei Zheng nodded, and said to the back: "Wei Meng, lend the sword to Ouyang Gongzi", "No!" As soon as the words fell, an unsheathed bronze sword hilt was handed to him, Ouyang Xuan looked at this guy named Wei Meng, who was in his 20s, medium build, slightly thin, small face, sword eyebrows, how to look at how uncoordinated, and a wooden pole bronze head Changge in his hand, seeing that he had a weapon, Ouyang Xuan also took the sword with confidence, the sword was a bit heavy, about 10 catties, and the sword body with golden light was also engraved with patterns, and on the other side there was also an inscription in Lishu "Changsheng Gong'an Han Wang Xinzhi", Seeing this sword, Ouyang Xuan seemed to think of something, and while everyone was still watching each other, he sent troops to set up a formation, and said in the Jiangsu dialect: "It turns out that Brother Tai is the descendant of Han Wangxin, Mingzheng, it seems that he still remembers the long-cherished feud of his ancestors", Wei Zheng shuddered, and the reins almost came off, all of which Ouyang Xuan saw in his eyes. continued to say to himself, "King Han should be far away in Xiangzhou, Lingnan, and it is really strange to appear here", and after speaking, he didn't look at Wei Zheng, and then observed the military formation on the opposite side, in fact, Wei Zheng's psychology was also a mess, Ouyang Xuan's words he understood all, and he also heard the dialect of his hometown that he hadn't heard for a long time, and he was restless on a horse. Ouyang Xuan didn't care, he saw that there was a change in the two flanks of the military formation on the opposite side, and the soldiers spread the thickness of the formation to both sides, seeing this, Ouyang Xuan felt that something was wrong, and looked to both sides again, his left side was the poplar forest by the river, and the right side was also a pine forest on the side of the mountain, well, something was wrong, why the woods and trees were relatively neat, there were traces of felling, and there was an obvious war horse impact line, if it wasn't for the observation skills he had cultivated when he was serving in the special forces, he really couldn't see it, Immediately turned his head and said to the king of the south in Kazakh: "Your Royal Highness the king of the south, look at the woods on the hillside on the right, it seems that there is a war horse impact line?" If it hadn't been done before, it would be very likely that there would be an ambush", Nanwang was only separated from Ouyang Xuan by Wei Zheng, and when he heard this, he immediately turned his head to look, it seemed that he was also a commander with rich experience, and nodded, "Gongzi is really a master in the world, and he almost fell into the iron enthusiasm, Maltaken listened to the order, and ordered you to lead 200 warriors to detour to the Nanshan behind the woods, and listen to the order to attack the woods", "obey" the big Han Dao with the sword on his back. After saying that, he turned his horse, picked 200 people in the rear team, and ran to the rear. The king of the south also ordered: "The other tribes are lined up, and they must not attack without an order, and they will be ready to fight in place."
The two armies confronted each other across the river like this, and the army in the opposite army retreated little by little under the escort of the two wings, and the king of the south smiled slightly when he saw this, and still stood still. About an hour later, two falcons flew up from behind the wooded mountain, Nanwang drew his saber, suddenly raised his head, and a special horn sounded on his side, the sound was very sharp, the sound was not over, a figure appeared on the ridge of the forest, and then I saw Nanwang's saber wave forward, and the thick charge horn remembered, the Wusun army rode out like an arrow from the string, and the lying river formed a mist, and the Wusun knights on the mountain also rushed to the forest along the impact line of the war horse.
The spectacular scene of the two armies hedging made Ouyang Xuan inexplicably excited, and as the soldiers rushed across the river with their swords on their horses, Wei Zheng did not follow, but was with the king of the south, and there were a few Han people, guarding in front of the king of the south. After crossing the river, Ouyang Xuan went straight to the guy in the brocade hat and brocade and the BMW to kill him. Although Ouyang Xuan was carrying a backpack, this did not affect his actions at all, when he rushed to the place of an arrow, the opposite side was like a rain of arrows like locusts, and he was also shooting arrows on his side, Ouyang Xuan lay on the horse, and ran to himself with a sword to get arrows, which was a pediatric for Ouyang Xuan, who had experienced a rain of bullets, hiding in a kick, rushing forward on the left side of the horse, and rushing to the front of the battle in less than a minute, his horse's buttocks and forelimbs shoulder blades were hit by arrows, and the blood had flowed down, dyed red fur, and rushed to the front of the battle, Ouyang Xuan returned to the saddle, trying to control the slightly frightened horse, although the speed slowed down, but it did not affect the slashing, although he did not practice this horse to fight when he was serving in the special forces, but this is not the point, the focus is Ouyang Xuan's fast reaction and strong arms, in addition to the practical one-hit lethal fighting skills in later generations, basically on his way to charge, what blocked him was to dodge when the opponent's knife had not arrived, and then when the two horses were wrong, he stabbed out a fatal sword, and just covered all the way, stabbing to death** When the guy saw Ouyang Xuan, he borrowed the speed of the horse, and the blade leaned up from the bottom to the top, this move was ruthless enough, and the horse couldn't dodge, once it was cut down, the horse would definitely die, and his legs could also be cut off, and then he would be trampled to death by the cavalry behind, seeing this posture, Ouyang Xuan subconsciously, his center of gravity was all pressed on the side of the facing knife, leaned forward, raised his sword and stabbed the opponent's wrist, between the lightning and flint, just when the blade was still a few centimeters away, the sword pierced the opponent's wrist, took away the blade, slipped a diagonal in the front abdomen of the horse, and it was only a few centimeters away from Ouyang Xuan's knee joint, after dissolving the knife, the guy's palm had been cut in half, and the knife fell to the ground, the horse couldn't pick up the head, it could only rush forward, but it couldn't watch the good guy being snatched by others, and now Ouyang Xuan urgently needed a good horse and a good weapon, both of which this guy had. Can't give up, now that his horse has been injured, it seems that he can't ride anymore, thinking of this, his feet are pulled out of the pedal, his left hand holds the saddle, and as soon as he uses force in his hand, he is out of the horse's back, and the horse also climbs down, Ouyang Xuan jumps backwards with one hand, jumps off the horse's back, and the moment his back hits the ground, he exerts his waist and stands up, holding the sword in his right hand, standing in a fighting posture, and pulling out a short knife with his left hand and holding it in his hand. Seeing that the guy's knife was ten meters away from him just now, he didn't have time to think about it, he dodged a slashing saber towards him, and then turned around, and the short knife in his left hand cut off the horse's hind leg muscles, and then fell forward sideways, and the Wusun knight behind his impact line also arrived, and the horse's hooves stepped on the Dock knight, Ouyang Xuan hurriedly slid sideways to dodge the impact line, and ran a few steps towards the knife falling to the ground, just about to pick up the knife, he felt a blade attacking from behind, and hurriedly came to a Su Qin back sword style, and used the sword to protect his back and cervical vertebrae, The saber happened to slash at the back of the sword in the cervical vertebrae, and then slid away, and then rushed over, and was followed by the Wusun soldiers on the impact line behind, and slashed down the horse with a knife, Ouyang Xuan stretched out a thumbs up very friendly to express his gratitude, inserted the short knife, and picked up the knife, which was completely black and heavier than Han Wangjian. got the knife, and the horse, lowered his body, held the knife in his left hand, and held the sword of King Han in his right hand, the guy was about 50 meters in front of him, and there were several guards on the left and right. Standing in the center of the two impact lines, the attacks of the Wusun knights on both sides who came up in turn were also resolved one by one, and there were less than 3 people on the impact line behind, and there were no horses running behind them. Ouyang Xuan immediately accelerated and ran, and tightened the belly belt of his backpack on the way, 50 meters was only a few seconds, and soon he arrived in front of the Dock military cavalry, because they were standing here waiting for rescue, so Ouyang Xuan rushed straight to the front two military cavalry, although the speed of the person is not as fast as the horse's speed, but after all, it is also speed, with the speed of swinging the sword and stabbing the horse's head, the two guards were not ambiguous, one swung the knife to block, and the other slashed Ouyang Xuan, only to see Ouyang Xuan's right hand backlash against the chopping knife, at this time he had rushed to the position of the two horses' necks, After the sword in his left hand was blocked, he turned his wrist over, turned the sword into a knife, took his left foot as the axis, turned a 360-degree turn in place, and the two sharp blades cut a long and deep hole on the horse of the guard who had not recovered from the original action, and the guy who chopped Ouyang Xuan was even more unlucky, and he was directly cut off a leg by the blade, after succeeding, Ouyang Xuan continued to use his right foot as the axis, and then rotated 360 degrees, this time the two people's horse bellies were completely disemboweled, and the two of them lost a leg this time, and the horse was in pain, and instinctively wore it forward, Dumped the two legless guys. The door in front of the guy in the brocade hat suddenly opened, and at this time, the guards on both sides also reacted and turned the horse's head to prepare to meet the enemy, but it was too late, just when they turned around, the Wusun knights who turned back from the impact line on both sides cut them off the horse one by one, and now it was Ouyang Xuan who faced this brocade hat guy alone, Ouyang Xuan, a stride to the side of the horse, and stabbed the guy's abdomen with a sword, the guy was also flexible, his left hand grabbed the right hand that had been arranged into two, and he fell from the other side of the horse, Ouyang Xuan stabbed the air with a sword, When he returned the sword, he made a cut in the sheepskin on the horse's back. With the sword in his hand, he saw the brocade hat guy opposite the horse, leaned over and leaped, crossed under the horse's belly, and the long sword went straight to the brocade hat guy in the abdomen, this guy rolled on the spot and dodged, the two basically stood up at the same time, and now faced the brocade hat man who had no weapon and no war horse, Ouyang Xuan quickly changed his attack method and held the sword in his right hand, and the knife in his left hand, none of the Wusun knights who returned to the two lines to kill did not attack the brocade hat, but left him to Ouyang Xuan, and they all cast admiring eyes when they passed by, And tried his best to kill those Dock knights who returned to cross the line and tried to rescue, Ouyang Xuan turned sideways, raised the knife in his left hand to the maximum attack position, with a force on his waist and abdomen, the raised knife quickly slashed down, the brocade man's legs kicked the ground hard, his body pierced back a few centimeters, and he would dodge this knife, but it was still too late, Ouyang Xuan was in front of his left foot as the axis at the same time as the knife fell, and he rotated again, the right elbow was bent 90 degrees, the long sword protruded from the elbow 80 cm, and the knot stabbed into the brocade man's chest, The inertia of the movements cut through his chest, from the sudden arrival in front of the guards to the assassination of the brocade hat man, a series of movements, Ouyang Xuan's coherent and smooth work, seamless, a near-perfect fighting technique took less than half a minute. Seeing this scene, the Wusun knights who returned later were full of admiration for Ouyang Xuan, and shouted, "Tie Warm, dead!" Iron hot, dead! After a while, the whole battlefield shouted together, the soldiers were chaotic, just two rushes to kill, the two sides that were evenly matched, became unilaterally strong, Wusun soldiers took advantage of the situation to cover the kill, and finally captured a thousand people, killed more than 2,000, the ambush soldiers in the pine forest who were ready to impact the flank, were all killed without warning.
Ouyang Xuan did not participate in the final battle, but led the horse, waded across the river, and returned to the original starting point. Didn't ride a horse, because he really didn't know how to ride a horse without stirrups. Standing in front of the horse's head, holding the sword in both hands and sending it to Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng looked at Ouyang Xuan, and said in the Jiangsu dialect: "The sword is given to the hero, and this sword can only bury its brilliance when placed here with me." Or a virtuous brother should admire it", Ouyang Xuan really didn't look down on the practical value of this sword, and paid more attention to the commemorative significance, so he said: "This sword is a relic of King Han, and it is the treasure of the town house for the descendants of Han Shi. Hearing the black line of King Nan, Wei Zheng silently took the sword, his eyes were red, and he turned around and handed the sword back to Wei Meng for safekeeping. Although Nanwang didn't understand what they were talking about, he knew that maybe this sword was an important commemorative thing, and he had never seen Wei Zheng take it out and use it, looked at the battlefield, there was no suspense, and turned to Ouyang Xuan and said: "Gongzi is really a heavenly man, Tie Wen is the most brave warrior in my Western Regions, and there are more than 100 fierce generals who died under his sword, Give Tie Warm's sweat and blood BMW Black Wind Double Evil and the Battle Fall Holy Knife to the son", the South King came to a favor, Ouyang Xuan walked out of the queue and arched his hand, "Thank Your Highness for the reward", and returned to his position, "Congratulations to the virtuous brother, this Battle Fall Holy Knife is made of the red meteorite from the sky in Jinshan, indestructible, it is a holy relic of the Western Regions, originally owned by the first king of Wusun, and then because of joining forces with the Che Shi to fight against the Huns, it was specially given to the Che Shi, Tie Warm was given this knife by the Che Shi Guo because of the battle in the Qiuzi War, and the Tie Warm was strong and strong, Returning to the Che Division, harassing the countries, everywhere they went was the life of the miserable, many times to kill are because of their cunning, brave and fruitless, a few months ago its main force was broken by the Che Division, the rest escaped into the deep valley, the countries have repeatedly encircled and suppressed and unfavorable, so the common covenant, cut the iron enthusiastically, get the holy knife, this horse is also a year ago, in the Tianshan Mountains Dangerous Road surprise attack Dawan obtained. This knife is cast for my Han people, this person is still under the account of the king of the south, if the prince needs it, you can ask him for help", so it is, a knife made of iron meteorite, a bit like Yang Guo's Xuantie sword, but the iron meteorite in the Altai Mountains should have a more huge piece, the specific location of their own know, originally one of the purposes of this straight through the Altai Mountains is to see the red iron meteorite, the meteorite has a history of more than 3,000 years, and now it should also be in the Altai Mountains Mamyasazna waiting to be developed. Thinking of this, he said, "Who controls the middle of Jinshan now?" "At present, it is still in Wusun, and this time the Xiongnu invaded the border, which is in the eastern mountain pass of Jinshan, Heishi Jiena, and is now fighting near the Turna River." "Oh, I see, there is a snow valley surrounded by mountains in winter, and after winter, the Huns will retreat." "How so?" "There is thick snow and high people in winter, food transportation is difficult, cattle and sheep have no grass available, the Huns will retreat, as long as they stick to the same place, prevent them from attacking the plain area before winter, this battle will be won", "Gongzi Gaojian, Gongzi has never been there, how do you know that there is a lot of snow in winter?" King Nan suddenly interjected. The family teacher once drew a geographical map of mountains and rivers, and once said that the black stone of Jinshan and the surrounding things", "The respected teacher is really a master, but he has no chance to see it." At this time, the battlefield had entered the cleaning stage, the prisoners were tied up and escorted away, and the others were picking up horses and weapons.
Speaking of the black stone, Ouyang Xuan really wanted to go and see if it was the same as when he came, thinking of this, he came out of the ranks, and said to King Chongnan: "Your Highness, the family teacher once said that this red meteorite should be two pieces, one is particularly huge, and now it should be in the middle of Jinshan, northeast of Mamiyasaz, under the Jianfeng cliff." I don't know if the king of the south can send someone to take it and give it to the next to fulfill the wish of the family teacher to cast a divine soldier. "Oh? There I know that it is now the summer pasture of the Solaqi Division, and the prince should grant what he asks for today's work, and I will send someone to do it", King Nan waved his hand, and an unarmored Wusun man came up behind him, "What does Your Highness command?" "You go to the royal court quickly, inform Kun Mo of today's battle situation, and ask Kun Mo to send people to find the red meteorite and transport it to the king's courtyard according to the request of the prince. ”
Originally, the evenly matched battle described in the legend of the Kazakh herdsmen, due to the arrival of Ouyang Xuan, so that the original southern king Kalchahadr fought against the mountain bandit Tie and was seriously injured was not staged, I don't know if the legend of the white swan will continue, his child will be called Kazakh, thinking of this, turned around and asked Wei Zheng in Jiangsu dialect: "Come here, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Southern King is called, can you have children", Wei Zheng grinded the green beard under his chin, while looking at the battlefield, he replied in Jiangsu dialect: " His Royal Highness the King of the South is called Kalchahadr, and he has one son and two daughters, the eldest son is called Kazakh, and the two daughters are called Nazigul and Narangul. How did you remember to ask this? "Oh, it's nothing, I don't know people's names, it's always a bit rude", it seems that legends are legends, history is still the original history, but if there is no arrival of his own, this battle is very likely that the king of the south will be defeated under the 500 cavalry on the flank, and in the end it is really possible to stage the legendary battle, "the king of the south also had a very beautiful story, and I will tell you when I go back." Ouyang Xuanxin said, you two are people with a lot of stories, Han Wangxin's descendants are far away in the Western Regions, and Kazakh, the son of Kalchahader, is the one who founded a nation.
Ouyang Xuan rearranged his backpack, took out the last pair of safety ropes, and tightened the various straps. Now Ouyang Xuan must ride back on a naked horse first, this horse is obviously higher than the original one, and the waist and back are also wide, it seems that he must go back with a good pair of saddle stirrups, and use a safety rope and a short knife to make a simple stirrup on the sheepskin pad, such a stirrup cannot run and fight fast, otherwise once the horse falls, it will be fatal. Stepping on the simple stirrup on the horse, I felt that this BMW is good, the back is wide, and it is very comfortable to sit on it. After a while, the results of the battles of each department were also reported to Wei Zheng one after another, this time the Wusun side killed 200 and 100 wounded, and the plundered population was also found in the mouth of the captives, which is quite reasonable. At this time, two Wusun soldiers carried a man over, and the blood spilled all the way, and came to the horse of the king of the south, and the person who was being carried struggled to get up, the king of the south immediately dismounted, came to the man, waved his hand and said, "Zalando, what's wrong with you"? "Your Royal Highness the King of the South, I was attacked by Tie Fan in the Yili River Valley ten days ago, if it wasn't for your people coming in time today, I might have been killed by them, and just now I was attacked by the Huns hidden in the captives", he coughed after speaking. Wei Zheng turned his head to Ouyang Xuan, who was familiar with the naked horse, and asked, "I wonder if Brother Xian can heal Prince Dawan Zalando?" "I'll see, it shouldn't be a big deal", after saying that, he got off the horse, took off the stirrup wrapped around his feet, came to the stretcher and looked at it, examined the wound, and there was a knife wound in the upper part of the right chest near the collarbone, the knife had not been pulled out, and there were no other injuries, and he was absolutely sure that he could be cured. He said to the King of the South: "Your Royal Highness the King of the South, His Highness Zalando is fine, but he needs His Highness to provide a clean yurt so that he can perform magic and heal him", "Great, then quickly carry the Brother Zalando to my felt tent, the herald, pass my orders, and order Maltacan to take full responsibility for the finishing and distribution of the spoils." The other departments led the team back to the station, and each department sent 10 strong warriors to guard the courtyard", after speaking, with a wave of his hand, a large group of people and horses, carrying the injured Zalando to the courtyard, this time Ouyang Xuan did not ride a horse, but followed the stretcher, and Wei Zheng sent someone to lead the horse, holding his own knife.
