Captured Xiao Jixian alive - now it is only a suspicion for Wang Kunjun - Wang Kunjun is not in a hurry to deal with this Khitan general who is likely to be Xiao Jixian who has been recorded in the history of Liao in his previous life, he asked one of the most lightly injured guards to hurry to the entrance of the village that has gradually calmed down to find an accompanying military doctor to rescue the guard who was injured in the thigh by a bullet - and at the same time to deal with the wounds on the other four guards, while personally throwing Xiao Jixian into a room and locking him up, We will deal with it when this is over.

Regrettably, despite the best efforts of the accompanying military doctors who arrived later, because the flintlock pistol used lead bullets, it could easily shatter after hitting the human body, and in terms of the medical conditions of this era - even the military doctors who crossed the team and even the "grandfather" of these military doctors, Lin Xiaoyu himself, it was impossible to find and clean up all the lead bullet fragments in the bodies of the wounded. In order to prevent the residual lead bullet fragments from causing infection and poisoning, which could endanger the lives of the wounded, the accompanying military doctor had to amputate the wounded guard's left leg to save his life.

If it weren't for Wang Kunjun, who thought that Xiao Jixian was still useful to keep and ordered not to harm his life, I was afraid that this young and promising Khitan general would have become a ghost under the sword of the guards at this time - for the enemy who used unconventional combat methods such as sneak attacks and assassinations, whether it was through the crowd or their generals, they did not think that they could enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war, but should be treated as assassins or spies, and they should be dealt with severely. Of course, capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be escaped, and for a long time after that, Xiao Jixian did not suffer less for this matter.

It was the first time since the crossing that the rear camp had been attacked and his brother, who was also a member of the committee, had been directly threatened with his safety, so Cheng Fei and Muttel were shocked and surprised when they heard the news from the guards who reported the news. If it weren't for the fact that the battle outside the village hadn't finally ended, I was afraid that the two would have rushed back to the house to review Wang Kunjun at that time. Even so, after some discussion, the two decided to leave Mutel here to direct the end of the battle, and Cheng Fei immediately led all the guards who came to help the battle back to the mansion to protect Wang Kunjun's safety.

The first thing Cheng Fei did after meeting Wang Kunjun was to review his dereliction of duty to the other party and promise that such a situation would never happen again in the future. Wang Kunjun waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "Old twenty-nine, you are serious, this matter is not your brother's fault." Speaking of which, although my brother and I have never participated in front-line battles, and I look like a white-faced scholar, I am not really a weak scholar who is powerless and can only read and write. Anyway, my brother and I also personally experienced the bloody battle of the 'Jade Void Palace' ambush against the 'Five Tiger Village' thief army, and I also had the true inheritance of Master Tai and his old man, so there is no problem in dealing with opponents like those Khitan warriors just now. As for letting the enemy touch my place this time, the responsibility is not on you. First, the suspected Xiao Jixian does have some skills, he can judge my approximate identity before he starts, and approach the mansion where I am by disguised as a Han merchant traveler, and before launching a sneak attack, he can not hesitate to use his nearly 2,000 men as bait to attract our men and horses outside the village, and when he sneaks up, he can think of using a flintlock pistol instead of his own bow and arrow to create an illusion for the guards outside the door, so as to create favorable conditions for his own rapid approach to the gate of the house, all of which show that this person is brave and strategic, and is by no means comparable to ordinary people. Second, insisting on leaving only a small number of guards by my side is my brother's own decision, and it has nothing to do with you and the old thirty-five. To say that the enemy is also my brother and I underestimate the enemy, I underestimated the IQ of the ancients, especially the aliens, thinking that they are all barbarians who can only shout and shout and kill, fight bravely and without strategy, and have courage and no strategy, but I didn't expect that there are also generals like this suspected Xiao Jixian, brave and strategic. Three, although this time I was attacked by a sneak attack and lost a personal guard, not only did my brother and I get unharmed, and caught Xiao Jixian, the fish that was probably the 'Ranger Battalion' that couldn't be chased, but also completely annihilated the remnants of the Youyun Khitan Army, which was also a big gain. As the saying goes, 'Seong loses his horse, and he doesn't know if it's a blessing'. ”…,

Wang Kunjun's enlightenment made Cheng Fei feel a lot better, but he still said: "Having said that, after all, it is the responsibility of the committee and the brothers in the 'Liangyuan' to give me the responsibility of guarding the fifth brother. In any case, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the brother to let the enemy sneak to the fifth brother and let the fifth brother subdue the enemy himself. Even if the fifth brother does not pursue this matter, the public and private brothers will have to review it with the Ministry of Security, the committee, and the fifth brother, and are willing to accept the disposal of the Ministry of Security, the committee, and the fifth brother. This is not that the brother does not accept the love of the fifth brother, but the principle of the brother in dealing with people, and I hope that the fifth brother will not be blamed. ”

Wang Kunjun nodded after hearing this, and said: "What the old twenty-nine said is very true, it is my brother that I think badly." You go back and write a report on this matter and submit it to the Ministry of Security, and then my brother and I will also write a report and submit it to the committee. As for how to deal with it, I think it is natural that the Committee and the Ministry of Security will have their opinions. However, as the saying goes, "the merits are too clear, and they should not be wasted". Your report should not only state the attack on my brother and me, but also the results of the total annihilation of the remnants of the Youyun Khitan Army, so that it can be regarded as a complete report. ”

Wang Kunjun asked Cheng Fei to write in the report at the same time the content of his attack and the total annihilation of the remnants of the Youyun Khitan Army, which was obviously to alleviate the fault of the latter, and he was afraid that Cheng Fei would receive much more praise than criticism at that time. Cheng Fei naturally knows this. After this incident, although Cheng Fei was not grateful to Wang Kunjun, he was also very moved, and the two brothers were much closer than before.

Here, Wang Kunjun appeased Cheng Fei, and the battle outside the village over there was basically coming to an end. After handing over the work of cleaning the battlefield and collecting prisoners to the deputy commander of the cavalry regiment, Muttel hurried back to the house where Wang Kunjun was staying to greet his fifth brother. When he saw Wang Kunjun chatting with Cheng Fei unharmed, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he walked a few steps to Wang Kunjun and said, "Fifth brother, you are fine, I was in a hurry when I heard the report of the guards." At that time, my brother wanted to come back with Brother Twenty-Nine to protect my brother, but the war was not over, and I really couldn't get out. ”

Wang Kunjun waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "Encircling and annihilating the remnants of the Youyun Khitan is the first priority, and it is also your duty, and it is only right that you don't come back." If you come back with the old twenty-nine regardless of it, brother, I will blame you. Besides, you don't know my brother's ability, brother, how can a little Khitan remnant soldier hurt my brother and me. ”

Mutel nodded again and again after hearing this, and echoed: "That's, that's, with your kung fu Fifth Brother, a few remnants of the Khitan army will naturally be defeated." Didn't my brother hear that those Khitans had muskets in their hands, and they were afraid that they would hide in the dark and put black guns, so they were a little anxious. ”

There was naturally a joke in what Muttel said, but it reminded Wang Kunjun and made him start to wonder where the musket suspected of being in Xiao Jixian's hand came from. After thinking about it for a while, Wang Kunjun ordered his guards to take the two flintlock pistols captured from the Khitan soldiers who had already been killed, and planned to study them with Cheng Fei and Mutel.

There was not much time, and the two flintlock pistols were sent to Wang Kunjun. Wang Kunjun handed one of the shots to Cheng Fei and Mutel, picked up the other one himself, and while examining it carefully, he asked Cheng and Mu: "Just now Lao Thirty-five mentioned that Xiao Jixian used a musket, which made my brother think of a few questions - where did these two flintlock pistols in the hands of the Khitans come from?" How did they learn to use it? In addition to these two shots, were there any other flintlock pistols that fell into the hands of the Khitans? ”

Hearing Wang Kunjun's question, Cheng Fei and Muttel also realized the problem - how could the flintlock pistol, which had always been regarded as a secret by the crossing team and only taught to the Later Zhou court, come to the hands of the Khitans. As soon as this idea came out, Cheng and Mu thought of a possibility almost at the same time, that is, someone in the Later Zhou court collaborated with the enemy and treasoned and dedicated the flintlock pistol to the Khitans - in addition to the batch of flintlock pistols that were sold to the Later Zhou court, the flintlock pistols produced by the crossing team had already been rerefined and turned into raw materials for new weapons, even if someone wanted to steal them and give them to or sell them to the Khitans, it was no longer possible. …,

If that were the case, the problem would be serious - the flintlock pistol, though far behind the existing weapons of the Crossing Team, was after all one of the sharpest weapons of the era after all, except for the new hot weapons in the hands of the Crossing Team. Moreover, since someone can offer or sell flintlock pistols to the Khitans, then he may also offer or sell hot weapons such as front-loading guns, explosive packs, and so on. In this way, it is still very useful for the Khitan people to understand the characteristics of firearms and find suitable prevention methods, which is what the crossing team that is about to have a decisive battle with the Khitans and intends to take advantage of the situation to recover the eight states behind the mountains is not willing to see.

Even if the Khitans can't figure out the true meaning of the flintlock pistol for a while, no one dares to guarantee that the Khitans will not understand the mystery of the flintlock pistol. Once these Khitans have mastered the flintlock pistol, or the characteristics and weaknesses of firearms, then it will be quite unfavorable for the brothers of the crossing team who are willing to go north to the three eastern provinces in the future, completely defeat the Khitan, a northern nomadic people who pose a major threat to the Central Plains Dynasty, and provide themselves and the people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun with a world where they can live with peace of mind, and even the brothers of the crossing team who may solve the Jurchen people who brought another sword disaster to the Han people in the history of the previous life for more than a hundred years.

As soon as he thought of this, he carefully checked the flintlock pistol in his hand, and found a line of Wang Kunjun, a production number composed of English letters and Arabic numerals, which only the crossing team could understand the connotation of the gun, and immediately shouted to the guards waiting outside the house: "Someone, bring the Khitan general who was captured alive, I have something to ask him." ”
