Chapter 134: Three Great Wars by the Great Wall (4)
Maybe it was the peace and quiet along the way that made the guards relax their vigilance, maybe it was the fierce fighting at the west entrance of the village that attracted the attention of the guards, or maybe it was the failure to get the opportunity to fight with the Khitans that made the guards depressed, in short, the two guards guarding at the gate of the house failed to find Xiao Jixian and his subordinates who were close to a safe distance in advance. Seeing that the other party was not prepared at all, Xiao Jixian did not delay any longer, and ordered his subordinates to take out the two flintlock pistols that had been captured from the hands of the "Shenji Army" from the cloth cover, and began to load ammunition, ready to shoot -- after seizing seven or eight flintlock pistols, Xiao Jixian sent three of them to Xiao Siwen, while carefully studying the few shots left in his hands, carefully recalling the actions of the "Shenji Army" when operating these muskets on the battlefield, and finally understood their use after losing three flintlock pistols and three personal soldiers. In the past few days, he threw a lot of things in order to travel lightly, but he was reluctant to throw away these two iron guys that combined with nearly thirty pounds, and now they finally came in handy.
It's just that although they know how to use the flintlock pistol, because the captured ammunition is very limited, the shooting level of the two pro-soldiers assigned by Xiao Jixian to operate the flintlock pistol is really not very good. The two men had been aiming a gun at the chest of a sentry, but one of the lead bullets hit the sentry in the thigh, while the other shot didn't hit anything at all, and it didn't know where it flew. Even so, the firing of the flintlock pistol still provided help for Xiao Jixian and others to storm the gate of the house - because the attack came very suddenly, and his companion was knocked down by the bullet, another sentry guarding the gate of the house could not determine the identity and number of the attacker, so he had to shoot back in the direction from which the gun was fired, and at the same time dragged his wounded companion into the courtyard gate, thus providing an opportunity for Xiao Jixian and others to rush into the house.
However, to Xiao Jixian's surprise, the other party's guards were so brave, on the one hand, they knocked down more than a dozen of their own people in a very short period of time, and on the other hand, the four guards who could still insist on fighting not only resisted the siege of his seven or eight elite men, but also could fight to a draw with his own men, and there was no sign of defeat at all for a while. Just when Xiao Jixian was about to let one of the most powerful subordinates who had been guarding him and had not joined the battle group join the battle, Wang Kunjun walked out of the house. Seeing the other party's leader appear, Xiao Jixian immediately changed his mind, and he signaled the right-hand man who followed him not to take care of the other people in the courtyard, but to "capture the thief and capture the king" and directly arrest the leader of the other party. His right-hand man naturally understood what the commander meant, and immediately drew his scimitar, screamed, and rushed towards Wang Kunjun. Seeing that their master was threatened, although Wang Kunjun's guards had the heart to help, but now that they were facing the siege of two or even three people on the other side, they couldn't pull out at all, so they could only watch the very burly-looking and fierce Khitan man wield a shiny scimitar, quickly passed through the courtyard that had been broken, and went straight to his master.
Whether it is Xiao Jixian or his right-hand man, they all feel that this is an inevitable blow. In their opinion, the other party's enemy leader, who was wearing a Confucian shirt and a white-faced calligraphy, although he also held a horizontal knife in his hand, was at best pretending. A powerless literati like the other party could not block his blow no matter what, especially when the other party did not have a musket in his hand - the pistol in Wang Kunjun's right hand was covered by the sleeve of his robe, and the other party did not notice it at all. Of course, even if he saw a pistol, Xiao Jixian, who had never seen such a thing, would not associate such a small thing with the thick and bulky musket in his impression. Therefore, when Wang Kunjun looked at the Khitan man who rushed towards him indifferently and showed a sneer, Xiao Jixian and his right-hand man felt very surprised and very weird, and Xiao Jixian, who had been in battle for a long time, also saw the chill and murder from the other party's sneer. Although he didn't understand what the other party was relying on in this way, Xiao Jixian still shouted a Khitan sentence to his subordinate and ordered him to stop for the time being. But his subordinate had already rushed to speed at this time, and it was difficult to stop. By the time he stood by the time he stabilized his figure, the distance between him and Wang Kunjun was less than three steps. With such a close distance, it is natural to see the coldness and murderous intent on Wang Kunjun's face clearly. As an experienced warrior, Xiao Jixian's subordinate naturally understood the meaning of this expression, and also understood the reason why his master would stop him. It's just that at such a close distance, it is impossible for him to retreat - it is easy to be pursued by the other party and put himself in a disadvantageous position. For now, he can only hold the door and prepare to fight to the death with the other party. …,
Xiao Jixian's subordinates wanted to fight hard, but Wang Kunjun was not interested in giving the other party a chance to fight with him. He glanced at the other party with disdain, then stretched out his right hand from the sleeve of his robe and pulled the trigger on the Khitan warrior with a puzzled face. "Bang! Bang! After two loud bangs, Xiao Jixian's right-hand man fell backwards like a mountain, falling heavily to the ground, stirring up puffs of dust.
The people present were all familiar with the gunshots, but the difference was that Wang Kunjun's guards did not have any special reaction to the fact that the master used a pistol to kill the Khitans who tried to get close, and they all thought that this was the proper meaning of the question. The Khitans, including Xiao Jixian, were stunned by this situation, they had never seen a pistol, and they had no idea that the musket could be made so small and could shoot continuously in such a short time. It is said that when you suddenly see an object that you have never seen before, it is normal for you to subconsciously take a few more looks and ponder its principle and use. It's just that on the battlefield where life and death are only on the battlefield, such thoughts and distractions are fatal. Although the attention of the Khitans was only attracted by the pistol in Wang Kunjun's hand for less than half a second, it was enough for the guards who were fighting against them. At the moment when the Khitans were stunned, the four guards counterattacked almost simultaneously, and in the blink of an eye, three Khitans fell to the ground, one Khitan was injured and retreated, and the situation in the small courtyard was reversed in the blink of an eye. The original situation of eleven to five suddenly became six to five, and Wang Kunjun's side had already taken the initiative. In the face of such changes, Xiao Jixian secretly regretted that he had underestimated the strength of the other party, and at the same time he was thinking about how to get out and leave here before the other party's team returned.
Xiao Jixian's side wanted to get out as soon as possible, but Wang Kunjun's side didn't want to give the other party this opportunity at all. As several Khitans fell to the ground, Wang Kunjun threw the pistol in his hand to the side, drew out the horizontal knife, and rushed towards Xiao Jixian - although the pistol was sharp, it was too powerful for Wang Kunjun, who wanted to capture alive the Khitan general who was suspected of being Xiao Jixian, and with his marksmanship that was not passable, he was likely to miss Xiao Jixian's life, so he would rather abandon the gun and use the knife.
Regarding the other party's move, Xiao Jixian was quite incomprehensible. In his opinion, the extremely small musket was the most reliable advantage of the opponent, and it was not wise to throw away the musket and use the horizontal knife to fight him. However, if you don't understand, you don't understand, Xiao Jixian will not let go of this kind of "good opportunity". Seeing that Wang Kunjun was about to rush in front of him, he also took out a scimitar from his waist and went up to meet him, intending to capture the weak scholar opposite.
It's just that as soon as they fought, Xiao Jixian found out that he was wrong, and it was a big mistake. Because the kung fu of the seemingly weak white-faced scholar on the opposite side is quite good, a horizontal knife is danced up and down in his hand, not only the moves are exquisite, but also the combination of rigidity and softness, obviously under the guidance of a master and a famous teacher. In the face of such an opponent, it is said that it is a Xiao Jixian, even if three or five Xiao Jixian are on the same page, they may not be able to get a bargain in the hands of the other party. However, after three or four faces, Xiao Jixian only had the ability to parry and had no power to fight back.
Seeing that his master would be approached by the opponent step by step, and now that he had retreated to the corner of the wall, there was no room for turning, and the remaining Khitan soldiers disregarded their own safety, and they all made a false move to the opponent who was fighting with them, and turned around to help Xiao Jixian. It's just that although their ideas are good, they are even more difficult to implement. Because while they turned, they also gave their weakest back to their opponents. As a result, before the scimitar in their hands approached Wang Kunjun, their opponent had already bullied forward and delivered a fatal blow to their backs. With a few screams, there were no Khitan soldiers standing in the small courtyard except for Xiao Jixian. …,
However, the "suicide" behavior of these Khitan soldiers is not without effect. Their movements somewhat distracted Wang Kunjun, and made the other party pay a little attention to his back. Maybe it was God's "blessing", or maybe it was Wang Kunjun's lack of actual combat experience, which actually slowed down Wang Kunjun's knife move by half a beat, and took this opportunity to finally seize a vacancy to get out of Wang Kunjun's knife light, and rushed to the direction of the gate of the house as fast as possible, intending to escape. It's just that Xiao Jixian ran fast, and Wang Kunjun, who reacted, was faster than him. Before Xiao Ji, who had already run to the gate, stepped across the threshold with his legs, Wang Kunjun had already rushed behind his hand, and stretched out his left palm and slapped him on the back.
Although Xiao Jixian felt that there was someone behind him, and a vicious wind was hitting his back, first, he was trying to run forward, and he couldn't make any dodging movements, and secondly, Wang Kunjun's palm came quickly and ruthlessly, which also made him unavoidable at all, so he had to take this palm that had both the internal strength of Tai Chi Gong and the powerful Liliang brought by crossing the physique. This palm was so big that it directly slapped Xiao Jixian, who was running, into the air, and then fell heavily on the street one foot away from the gate.
After landing on the ground, Xiao Jixian only felt pain all over his body, tightness in his chest, and sweetness in his throat, if he hadn't held his breath, he was afraid that a mouthful of blood would have been spit out. Although he was seriously injured, Xiao Jixian knew that now was his chance to escape, and if he couldn't get up and continue running before the other party chased him out of the courtyard, he was afraid that it would be impossible to escape. Therefore, he endured the pain and tried to stand up with his arms on the ground. As a result, he found that his arms could not use his strength at all, and his body only fell back again after only lifting up half an inch. When he wanted to try again, he was trampled on his back by Wang Kunjun, who had already caught up, and couldn't move. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jixian was wiped on his shoulders and arms by the guards who rushed up, and tied a knot strongly.
