The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 31 Chapter 31
Tie Niu listened and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, I haven't been idle at home for the past two months. I have also been practicing martial arts all day long, and my martial arts have improved a lot compared to before. If the robbers don't come, it will be an advantage for them. Come, I will beat them to death with a stick."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother, don't talk big, after all, this is the foreign gang, the people here are tough, everyone can ride horses and shoot arrows.

Notice!In such a foreign country, we can't be careless!If we are not careful, we may be buried in a foreign land. "

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Brother, thank you for your reminder, brother knows what to do."

The two of them drove the herd of thin cows all the way southward through the vast snow, and it was extremely hard work along the way.

When the sun was about to set, the two drove the cattle to the bottom of a small sandy slope. There was a grassland the size of more than ten acres, and there was a water source the size of a house in the middle of the grassland.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother, we will spend the night at this place tonight. This place is good, the cattle can rest and recuperate. Let's eat a piece of dry food and rest early, so we can go on our way tomorrow."

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes in the distance, and a dozen war horses were approaching from a distance, and the dust that was kicked up was flying up Lao Gao.

The Turkic man who was sitting on the horse brandished a saber and flashed cold lights under the setting sun.

These horse teams rushed here from three directions: west, northwest, and true north.

Duan Wuji met La Tieniu.

"Brother, I think we are a little confused today. These horse bandits are cunning and cruel by nature. They will get close later. We don't care what they say. Let's give him a predilection first, but we must not be a little bit Be kind and soft."

Iron Bull nodded.

"I know, it's either his death or my words, there is no room for maneuver."

As he said that, Tieniu picked up his big stick and got on the horse, and Duan Wuji also drew his sword from behind.

Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu and said: "Brother, pay attention to the cold arrows of these Turkic people! These Turkic people's bows and arrows are very powerful."

"Oh, I see."

The horse ran closer and closer, and when it was more than 100 feet away, the leading Turkic leader roared: "Kill the Han dogs, rob their cattle, don't let these two Han dogs run away. Kill them!" them."

Duan Wuji and Tieniu looked at each other, and they slapped their horses and rushed towards the group of Turks.

As soon as the two horses hit each other, Tie Niu and Duan Wuji killed each other.

The iron ox was strong and heavy, and he knocked away the scimitar of the horse bandit who rushed to the front with just one encounter. Tieniu swept the fallen leaves with the autumn wind, and hit the horse bandit leader in the back with a stick.

The horse bandit leader yelled and fell off his horse.

The iron ox horse rushed forward, directly to the next horse bandit.

There were two horse bandits rushing towards Duan Wuji. These two guys raised their sabers on the left and right and rushed towards Duan Wuji.

Duan Wuji saw the two horse bandits rushing towards him, he lowered his head abruptly, the sword in his hand was like a Changhong sunset, and slashed at the necks of the two horse bandits at an angle.

The head of the horse bandit on the right fell to the ground with a flash of cold light. The horse bandit on the left was really clever. He leaned his body and tried to dodge the sword, but he was still a little short. With the chest obliquely pierced in.

The piercing was not too deep, only about two inches deep, and the kid rolled off the horse with a whoop.

Duan Wuji rushed forward, directly to the next target.It was too late for the Turkic people who rushed forward to draw their bows and arrows, because the distance was too close.

Duan Wuji felt ruthless in his heart, and chopped down seven or eight people in one go.

Duan Tieniu also used a big stick to pat down five or six horsemen, only three or four horse bandits guarding the distance saw that something was wrong, turned their horses around and ran away.

The iron bull chased the horse when he saw it, Duan Wuji was afraid that the iron bull would suffer, so he shouted loudly: "Brother, come back, run away, don't chase."

After hearing this, the iron bull ran back in a circle.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

I saw bloodstains all over the faces of the two people.

Tieniu glanced at Duan Wuji and said: "Brother, if those boys ran back to call someone, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?
At that time, I thought about killing them all to avoid future troubles. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Do you think I don't want to? After all, the distance has already been drawn so far, once they pull out their bows and arrows, wouldn't we suffer a lot?

Brother, I will not be fooled by that!

However, your concerns are justified.It seems that we can't stay in this place anymore, we have to drive the cattle all night, and it's really not good for us to let their people circle them all night. "

Duan Wuji glanced at the cows grazing quietly, then at the dead bodies on the ground, and then said to Tieniu: "Brother, before it's completely dark, let's clean up the battlefield. Let's search for all useful things." Come out, maybe you can make a small fortune."

Duan Wuji pointed with his hand.

"Look, brother, there are two war horses that haven't run away. Let's go and catch them. We'll ride them tonight."

"Very good."

As soon as the two men urged the horse to run over, they caught the horse very smoothly.The two tied the two horses to their own horses.

Then the two began to scratch and pull the things on the dead man, and they packed everything that was useful.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Take away their bows and arrows and hang them on our horses."

Tie Niu laughed and said, "What's the use of this thing? We don't know how to use it."

"Can't use it? Can't we learn it when we go back? Can't we even learn this stuff?"

"Well, well, what you said is also reasonable. Hey, brother, there is still a living one here, and this kid is still alive. What do you think?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "It's not easy if he's not dead? Why don't we carry him into the pool? It's a cold day, just to relieve his pain."

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this. "What's Fei doing? Why don't I just be a good man to the end, and I'll give him a ride."

Duan Wuji was about to stop after hearing this. "Brother, don't, how inhumane is that? Why don't we try to lift him into the pool."

That piece of iron kicked the wounded man's chest.

"Humanity? What is humanity? I think your method is not as humane as mine. You see, this passed without even pain."

The two of them left here overnight with the herd of cattle, and the two of them walked with the herd of cattle for more than 200 miles in one night, so they took it easy.

After dawn, the two drove the cattle down a hillside to graze hay, while the two lay down on the hillside and fell asleep.

Fortunately, the sun was warm, and it was not too cold for the two of them lying on the ground.

At noon, the two of them woke up from their deep sleep. They sat up, took out the steamed buns and beef jerky that they found from the Turks yesterday from their bags, and gnawed hard.

Tie Niu said: "Look, there's no saliva here, it's really hard to swallow!"

Duan Wuji smiled. "Brother, just make do with it. Isn't there snow over there, is it hard for us?"

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this, "Brother, you really know how to think of a way, hey, brother really can't help it! Well, I'll give him a bite first. Brother, don't you want a bite?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this. "Absolutely."

The two of them gnawed the snow and were about to get on their horses and go on their way. Suddenly, four war horses rushed over from the west.

The Turkic man on the horse yelled loudly while rushing to this side: "Han dog, don't leave, grandpa is here."

Duan Wuji poked the iron bull with his hand. "Brother, look at what we are afraid of. Brother, we are ready to fight."

The two untied the horses, picked up their weapons and got on the horses, looking at the four Turkic men who were gradually approaching.

The sun shone on the faces of the four Turkic men, and also on the bodies of the four of them. The four of them reined in their horses at a distance of more than ten feet away from the two of them. One of them, a man in his forties, pointed at the two of them and cursed. : "Han dog, don't you stay in your farming area? What are you doing in our prairie?"

After hearing this, Duan Wuji sneered and said: "How can this grassland be yours? Don't you know? In the whole world, is it the land of the king? Is it the reason that Mo Wangchen is on the shore of the land?
We came to this grassland to sell a few cows to raise, which we bought with money.Is this still illegal?

I think you guys back away quickly, lest you and I turn our faces over this matter. "

"Do it? You two are puppies and still want to do it? Let me tell you, this herd will be ours in a while."

"Pa, pa, pa" three carved arrows flew over suddenly, and shot directly at Duan Wuji and Tie Niu.

For several Turkic people, it was a hundred shots at such a short distance.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu had been on guard for a long time, and Tie Niu was on his side, using a big stick to knock away a carved arrow flying towards him, and then charged up with the big stick.

Duan Wuji poked grass to look for snakes, and a precious sword also knocked away the two eagle feather arrows that were flying towards him.

"Good boy, how dare you stab someone in the back, take your life."

Duan Wuji urged the horse to also charge forward.The two sides raised their weapons and fought hand to hand.

With an iron rod, Tieniu knocked the saber flying in the hand of the man who rushed to the front, and then tied the jade belt around his waist, and knocked the Turkic man off his horse with a single stick.

Tie Niu took advantage of the trend and rushed directly to the next one.

Duan Wuji's horse was not much slower than the iron horse, and Duan Wuji's white horse turned into a white line and rushed towards the other two Turks.

Duan Wuji, with a long rainbow piercing the sun, swiped his sword towards the neck of the Turkic who was rushing towards him. The Turkic quickly raised his knife to meet him. Duan Wuji kicked the rabbit off the eagle with one foot, and kicked the kid off the horse with one kick. down.

Duan Wuji sideways dodged the knife from another Turkic man, and Duan Wuji pierced the man's back with his sword.

The sword pierced firmly, and the sword pierced through the heart, and the dead body fell off the horse in one fell swoop.

The boy Duan Wuji kicked off got up and was about to run when Duan Wuji dropped his sword and threw it towards the back of the man.

There was only a sound of "噗嗤", and the sword nailed the man to the ground again.

Duan Wuji pulled out the scimitar from the side of the horse and was about to help Tieniu, when Tieniu pulled the boy off the horse with an iron rod.

Duan Wuji stepped on his horse and brought back the two horses that were about to flee.

Tie Niu followed suit when he saw it, and chased back the two horses that were about to flee.

Tieniu smiled at Duan Wuji. "Brother, we got rich again today, look at how well this business is doing!"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this and said: "Brother, let's drive the cows and lead the horses, we can't stay here anymore, maybe someone will come later."

The two cleaned up the battlefield a little bit, Duan Wuji pulled out his own sword, the two hurriedly got on the horses, and walked straight to their hometown with the cattle.
