Section 496 Yan State Caravan

Lu Cao handed over the sword to the Qin soldiers and stood aside.

Tie Li said to the people around him: "Write him down, ask for details and report it." ”

Lu Cao understood that Qin Jun couldn't trust him like that, so he went to the side and explained his details one by one, where his family was, why he killed his boss, and so on. He believed that Qin Jun would investigate, and if he told a lie, he would definitely not live.

Immediately afterwards, another person stood up: "I am also Zhao Jun, because I am afraid of punishment for violating military regulations, I escaped." ”

The iron plough threw a sword again.

This time, after only two or three strokes, the iron plough collected the sword: "You are lying." ”

"Hu, nonsense......"

The iron plough didn't give the other party a chance to explain at all, and the four soldiers around him picked up the crossbow and shot it with four crossbow arrows, instantly killing the other party on the spot.

Iron Plough glanced at the people waiting to be tried: "Ben will not care who you are or what you have done before, but Ben will not like to be told a lie." Next. ”

Lu Kao, who was reporting his details to the military Chinese officials, looked at the corpses on the ground, then at the iron plow, and then turned back to tell the officials about his affairs.

Lu Ke knew very well that the hundred generals of the Qin army just now were not testing the level of martial arts.

The way of fighting with the sword that told the lie was not Zhao Jun's at all, and the armies of the countries had different training methods for short swords, spears, halberds and other weapons.

People who don't even know the foundation of Zhao Jun's sword fighting can't be former Zhao Jun soldiers.

As Tie Li said, he doesn't care who these people were before, he only cares if they tell the truth.

There are even spies sent here by Zhao Guo, as well as big thieves.

As long as you promise to do something for the Qin army, you don't care about the previous things, and if the things after you violate the military regulations of the Qin army, it will naturally be one word, death.

In the course of a day, people quickly separated.

Some of them were killed, and some of them were still suspicious and uncertain, and some of them continued to be locked up, and one hundred and ten people became temporary Qin troops.

In the evening, when the men were being fed, a soldier whispered a few words in the ear of the iron plow.

Tie Li said to the new recruiters: "First mission, there is a caravan of about three hundred people from the Yan Kingdom approaching here, take them down, and not allow any of the caravan people to escape. Then bring them here. ”

"As for you people, choose one team leader and two deputy team leaders. Strike after a quarter of an hour. ”

After the iron plough finished speaking, he left, and some soldiers threw their weapons in the courtyard.

Lu Ke was not the most capable of fighting, but because he had led 200 troops in the Zhao army, he was recommended by two ruthless characters as a temporary team leader to command this operation.

After Lu Ke led the people to set off, he saw twenty Qin army knights following from afar.

Out of Hongshan City, someone asked Lu Ke: "Do you want to fight, or run away?" ”

"How?"

The questioner said: "Fighting, it is to follow the Qin army with an iron heart." If you want to escape, those Qin troops are not the top elites under the Bai brothers, they can only barely be regarded as soldiers who are stronger than other countries, and we are estimated to be able to escape half of them. ”

Lu Ke thought for a while and replied: "I don't want to escape, I've been running away for more than two years." There will definitely be a fierce war between Zhao and Qin in the future, and I don't want to go back to Zhao. If one day when the Qin army rules the world, I can go there, it is better to settle down. ”

A thin man with a thin sword also said: "The military regulations of the Qin army are too strict, but they are not unbearable. I was originally from the Lu country, killing sheep for a living, three years ago I killed the village landlord's family of sixteen and fled here, if there is a chance to go back with an upright identity, it is also worth working in the Qin army. ”

After the 100 people gathered around to discuss, 90% of them were reluctant to leave.

It is possible to get a good background with Qin Jun, and since Qin Jun did not pursue the previous matter, then he just erased it and did not mention it.

And there was not one of the hundred and ten who committed the most heinous crimes, and some of them were hacked to death with an iron plow.

The caravan of the Yan Kingdom is approaching here.

Hongshan City is a very important town for the merchants of Yan Kingdom.

Yan Kingdom has not had its own horse farm for nearly 20 years, and the source of horses in Yan Country mainly depends on buying, and the horses traded here in Hongshan City account for one-third of the entire Yan Kingdom.

The sheep, cattle, and leather goods here account for almost half of the share of leather goods in the entire Yan country.

The merchants of the Yan Kingdom were coming to Hongshan City with salt, grain, and linen.

"Hurry up, call the rear team to follow, and be sure to rush to Red Mountain City before dark." The leader of the caravan shouted.

It's definitely not a good thing to travel at night in the wilderness.

Because there are wolves.

There are packs of wolves here, batch after group, and there are three wolf packs besieged by the merchants who are on the way at night, these wolves are not the wolves of later generations, but they will actively attack any target that might become food at night.

After the siege of the three wolf packs, there was another melee between them.

Anyone who survived the siege had a deep fear of the dark night of the steppe, especially in the early spring season, when the wolf was hungry for a winter and needed food even more.

A wolf that eats even its own kind will never be merciful to its prey.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, there were still more than twenty miles away from Hongshan City, and the team leader was a little anxious, standing on the carriage and preparing to shout again.

At that moment, a crossbow bolt two feet long shot him through the chest.

Lu Ke led his cavalry to quickly set up an encirclement around the entire Yan State caravan.

The merchant of three hundred men had a hundred carriages, two in a row, and the difference in length was less than a mile.

However, Lu Cao's encirclement was still very skillful, and the eight double strong crossbows were operated by sixteen people and placed in a fixed position, with a total of six on both sides, one in the front and one in the front. Then there were the wandering cavalry to prevent anyone from escaping.

"Lay down your arms and bring the convoy together."

Lu Cao led people to shout.

Someone in the caravan shouted: "We are the Yan Kingdom caravan, and we are willing to pay for the road." ”

The Yan caravan apparently thought that they had encountered a robber and wanted to use money to solve this trouble.

Lu Ke shot a crossbow at the carriage next to the shouter, and then shouted: "We are the guards of Hongshan City, and we are ordered to subdue you and wait, surrender or die." ”

After Lu Ke finished shouting, about forty horsemen began to shrink the encirclement.

The Yan caravan was not a regular army, and their guards had crossbows, but compared to the crossbows used by the regular army of the Qin army in Lu Ke's hands, they were very far behind in terms of range and power.

There were only twenty crossbowmen in the Yan caravan, and the leader of the crossbow team led by him only shot one crossbow before he was shot.

While the rest of the crossbowmen were wandering, someone shouted, "We have descended." ”

"No, we have three hundred men, and they have less than a hundred, and they are in formation." The other was shouting.

Lu Ke was unhurriedly perfecting his encirclement, he would not give the merchants of Yan Country a chance to form a car formation.
