Chapter 64: The First Encounter

"Don't worry, Your Highness, you don't have to go to the Gallic Kingdom, as long as I am Minister Zuo, it won't be long before I am Minister Zuo, you just wait to see a good show." ”

"My Führer, Minister Zuo with a garrison of about a battalion is approaching here. ”

Ouyang Yu had just finished comforting Avril when the captain of the German guard walked up to her side to report, which made Ouyang Yu feel like he had been slapped in the face.

"Hmph, it's a good time, I want to see, what does that old guy want to say? Order to enter the first level of combat readiness, and the tank battalion is ready for battle and hidden!"

"Yes!" the captain of the guard commanded.

Then Ouyang Yu turned to Avril Lavigne and asked, "Do you want to come with me to see the performance of that old man of Minister Zuo?"

"Okay, I'll go. Avril, who was already desperate, was full of anger towards Minister Zuo's family, although she was simple, she was also a brave girl, otherwise she would not have escaped.

The armed forces of the countries of the eastern continent are mainly divided into coalition forces, local garrisons and mercenary groups, the coalition forces of the countries are field troops, and the command, administration, and logistics are all responsible for the headquarters of the coalition forces, and their status is higher than that of the eastern countries, but in addition to fighting the imperial army, they must not interfere in the internal affairs of the local countries, and the coalition forces do not accept the command of local officials, similar to the United Nations forces on the earth.

The local garrison is different, the local garrison is formed by the eastern countries themselves, the combat effectiveness is not strong, mainly responsible for maintaining law and order, clearing out the routs, bandits, etc., a bit of the meaning of the American Imperial Guard, completely ordered with the local country, the Principality of Lucerne also formed its own local garrison, the number is not much only 20,000 people, scattered throughout the principality, Luxon City is stationed in the strength of a regiment, but the level of training is not high, the equipment is not very good, just a little better than the five scum of the war.

Finally, there is the mercenary group, which has been introduced a lot before, so I won't describe it here.

After receiving a report from his subordinates that Avril was rescued by a coalition officer, Minister Zuo immediately mobilized his forces to find out who rescued Avril, Minister Zuo's subordinates still had some capable people, and it didn't take long for Ouyang Yu's information to be placed on his desk.

After knowing that it was Ouyang Yu who rescued Avril, Minister Zuo was surprised but didn't think it was tricky, because Ouyang Yu's title and fief were given by him, and he thought that he was kind to Ouyang Yu, and Ouyang Yu also needed to sell food, Minister Zuo believed in the principle of interest exchange, and he also saw the same principle from Ouyang Yu's way of doing things, thinking that he and Ouyang Yu were the same kind of people, as long as he knew a little bit about it, he believed that Ouyang Yu would obediently hand over Avril Avril.

Secondly, even if Ouyang Yu is unwilling to hand over people, Minister Zuo believes that with a battalion of local garrisons with him, he can force her to hand it over, as a civilian official, Minister Zuo does not know the army, nor does he know the combat effectiveness of Ouyang Yu's army, if he is an officer of the Northern Alliance Army or the Imperial Army, he will not be so confident, Ouyang Yu's army has been in several vicious battles and after the recent escape of thousands of miles, her reputation has spread among the Northern Alliance Army and the Imperial Army, and now these two armies know that there is a strong mercenary group in the Duchy of Lucerne, and the Imperial Army soldiers in the Northern Theater are most afraid of seeing the scythe on the battlefield, the river crab red flag with an iron hammer, if the local garrison under Minister Zuo really fights with Ouyang Yu's army, he will definitely be taught to be a man in minutes.

It's a pity that Minister Zuo, who doesn't understand military affairs, doesn't know that the commander-in-chief of the local garrison of the Principality of Lucerne is Francis, and under the training of Francis, who loves to be showy and likes to be lively, the local garrison of the Principality of Luxon is trained to look good, but unfortunately it is all fancy, and the equipment is not good, and there is a lack of heavy weapons, and it is absolutely impossible to really go to the battlefield.

Minister Zuo inspected the local garrison in Luxon City, in his opinion, the soldiers of the garrison army are all big and round, "mighty and majestic", and they are also very good-looking during drills, and then they are blown by Francis, they feel that they are an elite army, and the imperial army is not a problem at all, not to mention the mercenary group that deals with the five scum of the war, one can fight ten, and the Minister Zuo, who thinks that he has all kinds of advantages, ordered his troops and horses to kill Ouyang Yu's manor after receiving the report from his subordinates.

"This is Lord Ouyang's private manor, stop immediately!"

Minister Zuo's garrison vanguard was stopped by Ouyang Yu's outpost five kilometers away from Ouyang Yu's manor.

The lieutenant who led the team signaled the troops to stop, and then he tidied up the military uniform on his body, walked to the outpost of Ouyang Yujun, and pointed to the person in charge of the outpost, a second lieutenant of Ouyang Yujun, and scolded: "Are your dogs blind? Don't you see that we are the people of the garrison? We are carrying out the order of His Excellency the Marquis of Shire, and His Excellency the Marquis is at the back of the team, and if you don't want to die, immediately open the fence and let us pass!"

As the saying goes, a soldier is a bear, a nest of bears, what kind of officer there is, what kind of soldier there is, under the leadership of Francis, the soldiers of the garrison have almost not learned, all the bad ones have been learned, it is common to eat in the city restaurant without giving money, and other bad things such as molesting women, collecting protection money, extortion, etc. have basically been done all over again.

The garrison of Lusen City has become the private soldier of Minister Zuo, and he usually acts very arrogantly and domineeringly, and the lieutenant of the garrison can't help but put on a posture of a lord with his nostrils facing the sky when facing the second lieutenant of Ouyang Yujun.

However, the second lieutenant of Ouyang Yujun will not accept this set, the soldiers recruited from the system will only listen to Ouyang Yu's words alone, and will not waver in the face of the threat of the lieutenant of the garrison, "Say it again, stop immediately, or you will be killed on the spot!"

"You ......!" the lieutenant of the garrison wanted to pull out his gun, but the second lieutenant of Ouyang Yujun pulled out his gun faster, and the muzzle of the TT-33 pistol had already pressed against the head of the lieutenant of the garrison.

Seeing that his boss was held to the head with a gun, the garrison soldiers behind the lieutenant of the garrison took the old magic crystal rifle from their shoulders and aimed it at the second lieutenant of Ouyang Yujun, and the soldiers of Ouyang Yujun in the outpost also loaded their guns and aimed their guns at the soldiers of the garrison.

At this moment, those who know how can see the gap between the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army and the soldiers of the garrison, the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army all hid behind the cover when the bullets were loaded, only half of their heads were exposed, while the soldiers of the garrison stood on the road with a big grin, without the slightest idea of dodging, if they really fought, they would definitely be annihilated in a very short time.

The lieutenant of the garrison who was pointed at the head of the garrison saw that his subordinates were already tense with Ouyang Yujun, and he couldn't help but be anxious, if there was a fight, he would definitely be the first to die, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing? Put the gun down for me!" Of course, this sentence was shouted at his subordinates, and it was also in vain to shout at the soldiers of Ouyang Yujun, and under the strict order of the lieutenant of the garrison, the soldiers of the garrison lowered the muzzle of the magic crystal rifle in their hands.

"Hehe, misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding just now. The lieutenant of the garrison slowly removed his hand from the holster and took two steps back to indicate that he was not threatening.

Second Lieutenant Ouyang Yujun also withdrew his pistol, turned his head and ordered the soldiers under him: "Lift your combat preparations but continue to maintain vigilance!"

The soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army in the outpost turned off the safety of their guns, but did not come out of the bunker, but continued to hide behind the bunker according to the second lieutenant's order, in case the garrison on the opposite side played tricks and suddenly attacked, so as not to suffer heavy casualties.

The vanguard troops were blocked and could not advance, and the garrison troops behind naturally stopped, and Minister Zuo called the lieutenant from the carriage and asked, "What's the matter? Why did it stop?"

"My lord, there is a mercenary outpost in front, and those mercenaries are very arrogant and block our way, I told those mercenaries that you are behind, but those mercenaries said ....... ”

"What did you say?"

The lieutenant's words made Minister Zuo's face look very ugly.

"The mercenaries said that unless they were ordered from above, they would not let you go even if you were standing in front of them. ”

"Hmph! I'd like to see if the mercenaries really dare to do that?"

Under the order of Minister Zuo, his carriage came to the outpost, and when he got out of the carriage, Minister Zuo walked slowly to the second lieutenant of Ouyang Yujun with a civilized stick, "Do you know who I am?"

"I'm sorry sir, I don't know who you are. ”

Second Lieutenant Ouyang Yujun's answer Minister Zuo was not angry, he rarely appeared in public, and it was normal for ordinary people not to know him, but the second lieutenant's next words almost made him half angry.

"Even if I knew who you were, I wouldn't let you go unless the leader ordered me to. ”

"I am the Left Minister of the Duchy of Lucerne, the Marquis Charles Maurice de Taleurand Périgord, and no one dares to stop me where I want to go!" After speaking, the Left Minister pushed away the guards around him and walked towards the outpost.
