Chapter 43: Riding alone

Lu Xiao was not as good as he could win among thousands of troops. Therefore, he naturally would not force himself to break into the Tartars' positions.

Their team avoided the view of the Tartars on the mountain and shuttled through the woods. Before this, Lu Xiao had already locked up a Tartar team. They had six of them coming out of the camp on the mountain.

Lu Xiao and others were preparing to copy the shortcuts and intercept them in front. However, before they could wait for the Tartar team, they found another team of people.

"It's ours." The captain was shocked and immediately said hello. But Lu Xiao suddenly grabbed him.

"It's too late." As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier led by the Ming army squad fell off his horse. Then there was the second and the third one.

The eight-man team was shot and killed by the bows and arrows in the dark within a few breaths. The remaining two turned around and wanted to escape, but were surrounded by nearly thirty Tartars who were surrounded from all directions. In the end, the two were captured alive.

Lu Xiao understood in his heart that the Ming army team was probably trapped in a seduction. It was the same as his own team of people to ambush another pair of Tartars.

"Sir, we have to leave quickly. This team of Tartars is afraid that they are not ordinary scouts."

"That's right, this team of people should be the elite who specializes in strangling the Ming army scouts."

"Sir, we really have to leave. If we were noticed by these Tartars, we might be a big deal." The captain was a little anxious, afraid that Lu Xiao would say something he could not bear.

"The big thing is not good? Yes, it is not good. But it is not us. You have also seen that two colleagues fell into the hands of the Tartars. The Tartars will definitely torture them. At that time, this generation of Ming army scouts will probably suffer."

"Sir, it's not that we don't want to, but that there's nothing we can do. Those group of Tartars are even more elite than the scouts we encountered before. And there are about thirty people. We are afraid we are not opponents."

The captain was also helpless. He knew that Mr. Lu had amazing force. However, with his advantage in numbers, he intercepted the Tartar team with four to six people. It was completely different from the elite Tartar battles with thirty people.

"It's indeed a bit difficult. But the difficulty is not whether it's an opponent's question. It's that it's too close to those Tartar camps. If you want to take action, you must end the battle in a short time. You can't let them send a signal. Seeing that those people did not return to the camp directly, they should be torturing the information on the spot. This is our opportunity."

"Not adults, should we not consider it?"

"There is no time left. Your two colleagues can't hold on for long. Once the Tartars get the information they want, they will act immediately. At that time, it will be difficult for us to catch them all in one go. Now they are getting together, this is the best opportunity."

In fact, Lu Xiao had another idea that he had not expressed. That is, those who could lead such elites to carry out siege and killing missions must be elites in the Tartars. And they should have a considerable official position.

In this way, this guy is much more valuable than those who write ordinary scouts.

"Listen, I want you to go around them as much as possible now. I know you are afraid, so I will give you a guarantee here. I don't need you to take the initiative. Just guard the two paths that can run on both sides."

Not only the captain, but this time all the Ming army scouts looked over at the same time.

"Sir, you mean..."

"Just as you think, I raid the temporary camp alone. If I succeed, they will definitely escape from those two roads. Then you wait and ambush the defeated soldiers. You are scouts in the army, and you are all good players in a hundred ways. Don't tell me that even a few defeated soldiers can't beat them."

"...Master Lu, that's not what we meant. The Tartars followed you along the way were more than we had ever seen. To be honest, we are not the kind of coward who can't stand blood.

But Mr. Lu, to be honest, we can get here, explore the road, and also explore the Tartar camp. That's all, it's already a great achievement to go back. There's really no need to be so fatal anymore.

Brothers, you know that you have great martial arts skills. But those are the thirty elites of Tartar. Even thirty pigs are not that easy to kill.

We brothers here to guarantee our lives. When we go back, we will report to Shangguan, Mr. Lu, your contribution. We can also help you find a background. We all plan to follow you in the future. Let’s stop here today!”

What the captain said was the true heart of all the other Ming army scouts.

Lu Xiao looked around these Ming soldiers.

"You really think that you can get the credit you deserve when you go back like this. Those who can be scouts are all veterans in the army. Think about it yourself. Is this credit really that easy to get?"

Lu Xiao knew that the soldiers of this era were not the people's soldiers of our party in later generations.

It is difficult to impress them by using the reason for serving the country and the people and defending the country. These days, most of the soldiers were military households or children from poor families. They could not read a few big words, and they could not understand these great principles at all.

Being a soldier is to make a living, and to the higher ground, it is to get promoted and make money. These national righteousness cannot impress them, only visible benefits can be achieved.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Lu Xiao knew that it had an effect.

"To confirm this credit, we must bring back an impeccable evidence. A living Tartar officer. Now, there is a great opportunity not far away.

Look at those Tartars, spears, scimitars, bows and arrows. Such elites must be military officers with real power.

Killing a few Tartars is not a big contribution. I will bring that guy back alive. Believe it or not, General Du will personally reward you.

And I said before that you don’t need to take action. I will rush to the battlefield alone. If I fail, you will retreat immediately. If I succeed, I will naturally get the credit. We don’t have much time left, and no matter whether you do it or not, I will make a decision.”

As Lu Xiao said, he tied three long swords with straw ropes and tied them to his waist. Then he hung three more crossbows and a pair of bows and arrows. Then he got on the horse and rushed directly to the temporary camp.

After he left, several Ming soldiers looked at each other and then looked at the captain at the same time.

The captain also had a bad look on his face, his face changed repeatedly, and finally a fierce look flashed on his face.

"Damn it!! At worst, people can die and birds go to the sky, and wealth is in danger, so I'll do it! You guys, go to the left, and the rest follow me to the right. Remember, if you see that the hunter can't hold on, run by yourself, one run by one. If you feel hopeful, do your best.

Brothers, I will eat braised vegetables for the rest of my life, and I will still eat delicious food and drink spicy food. It depends on this wave!"

On the other side, the group of Tartar soldiers were torturing the two surviving Ming troops. They actually didn't seem to care about the so-called intelligence. They were just torturing the two surviving Ming troops. This is also the reason why the two prisoners were alive.

From afar, Lu Xiao began to call for help loudly in Tartar.
