Chapter 46: Merit
In the camp of the Ming army, Juniper was furious.
"A bunch of rubbish, so many scouts, not only failed to find the way, but even half of the people were gone. What do you eat when the court raises you? ”
A group of Ming scouts drooped their heads, but no one dared to speak. They had been defeated in the trials that preceded the war. In the scout war, they were beaten by the Tartar scouts. Whether it is to report or to kill the enemy, it is a complete loss.
Juniper is a general, very pure kind. In fact, with his tactical level, he is completely inferior to the level of a general soldier. In Lu Xiao's understanding. Juniper is at best a charging general.
He hardly has any tactical thinking, all the fighting, and his only tactic is to concentrate his men and go up in waves. The point is that every time this guy fights, he will personally go into battle. Therefore, although he has a very bad temper and is furious, his soldiers are still quite supportive. Because when this shout impulses forward, he rushes to the front.
As a coach who personally went into battle to charge, he was not ashamed, but proud. The most common thing is to show off your strength and the scars on your body to your colleagues. After the battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi called him Du, which shows how deeply impressed he left on the other side.
In general, this guy is a first-class warrior, a second-rate vanguard, and an unpopular commander.
But the funny thing is that the groups that control power in the DPRK and China just like him. Because they need a brainless man, in charge of the army. Therefore, Juniper became one of the four general soldiers.
In fact, in the four-way Ming army of the Battle of Sarhu. Only Liu Wei of the fourth road is a qualified general. This one is the god of war of the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period. Both military literacy and prestige are qualified.
Perhaps those civil officials themselves have a psychological understanding and know that they are not that piece of material. That's why I got a really knowledgeable person to press the formation.
But unfortunately, at this time, Da Ming is no longer a famous general who can save.
Juniper was furious, but he couldn't think of a better tactic. Therefore, he decided to use the old method, gather everyone, and rush up to fight the other party.
During his career as a military general, all battles were resolved in this way. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this time, but for the first time in his life, he wanted to play a game and then act, but he was messed up by that group of incompetent subordinates.
"Pass on my military order, the whole army is ready, and it will be launched in three days."
Juniper thought about it, or his traditional tactics were more suitable for him. So he didn't dwell on these details, and directly ordered to prepare a wave of a.
However, just then, suddenly the herald rushed in.
"Report ......"
It took a full quarter of an hour for Juniper to finally understand what was happening.
"You mean, that missing squad not only found out the enemy camp, but also captured a live cow as a prisoner?"
“...... Be. ”
"Bastard, I don't know what that bunch of shit is. Lying about the military situation, they all dragged me out and cut them one by one!! ”
Juniper is a person who doesn't have a city government, and he just hangs on his face if he has anything. In the face of such outrageous news, I didn't even think about it, and thought it was a lie about the military situation. However, the herald then gave him a token. The waist card of the Tartar Cow.
Juniper saw the waist card and his eyes lit up. It's not something you can get by just a few things.
"Did they really take a cow as a prisoner?"
"Lord Hui, there is indeed a captive." The herald's words were not full. Because he himself didn't believe that the group of colleagues would hang like this.
"Take me to see it." Juniper is really interested now. He has always liked the brave. The previous scouts clashed with the Tartar scouts, and they were beaten by others. He couldn't hold his face, so he was furious. Now someone may have earned face for him, so naturally he wants to meet him.
The wounded soldiers are in the camp, and Lu Xiao and his party are lying crookedly in the camp to rest.
Lu Xiu was injured, and he ran wildly overnight. At this time, it is also real and imaginary. The rest of the ten people, although the injuries were not serious, they did not have the physical strength of Lu Xiao. On the contrary, he was even more tired than Lu Xiao, and he was almost about to collapse.
When Juniper came in, except for Lu Xiao, the rest of the people didn't feel it. Lu Xiao subconsciously drew his knife, but was so shocked that the guards around Juniper drew their knives one after another, and they were about to rush up and chop Lu Xiao into meat sauce.
Juniper didn't mind this kind of thing. On the contrary, he was very pleased with Lu Xiao's actions. This man's favorite thing is the kind of sergeant who can fight. The rest of the people didn't react to him coming in, only Lu Xiao noticed his arrival, which made him look at Lu Xiaogao.
"How many of you have found out the enemy's situation, and you also captured that Niu Lu's team alive?"
Lu Xiao didn't speak, not because he didn't dare to speak, but because it wasn't time for him to speak. Because he's not a soldier yet. Theoretically, he was just a temporary conscripted hunter. So, this kind of question can only be answered by the captain.
Only then did the scout team finally notice Juniper's arrival, and hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Okay, okay, don't fix those empty heads. Tell me how you captured that guy alive. You know, the rest of the scout team has suffered heavy losses. You're the only one who has gained, and you've won a big victory. Tell me, how do you do it? ”
"This ...... Back to the Commander-in-Chief. This has to start with this strong man next to me. ”
"A strong man? He's not my soldier? Juniper looked at Lu Xiao strangely.
"My lord, it's really not. Lu Xiao was a guide we were looking for before we entered the mountain. Because of the difficult terrain in the mountains, I found a local hunter as a guide before entering the mountain. Who knew that Lu Zhuangshi was a hidden martial arts master. And he is proficient in mountain and forest hunting, but he led us to defeat a few Tartar squads in a row......"
The captain's eloquence was okay, and he described the whole process clearly in a few sentences. and also highlighted Lu Xiao's contributions. To be honest, he didn't think about taking the credit for himself. But he knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels. It's too much to say about yourself, and if the chief soldier lets him do it again, it won't be the end.
"A hidden master?"
Juniper looked Lu Xiao up and down, and his eyes revealed an expression of interest. He loved brave sergeants. Lu Xiao is tall and sturdy, which meets his requirements for a sergeant. And he has also shown extraordinary alertness before.
With a bang, Juniper suddenly drew his knife and slashed at Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao pouted, retreated, and avoided the knife. Juniper's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with another knife. Lu Xiao retreated and avoided again.
"Yes, pull out your knife." Juniper was excited. He is an expert, and as soon as he makes a move, he knows that Lu Xiao is a real master. For a while, I had the idea of trying it out.
This frightened the guards around him. Directly removed the hand crossbow from his waist. But if Lu Xiao dared to draw his sword, they would shoot directly.
Lu Xiao glanced at the guards. Smiled wryly.
"What kind of identity is an adult, I'm just a mountain village man, how dare I use a knife with an adult."
“...... Makes sense, you guys, go up and try it. A few of them said you have the courage to be a man. But you have wounds on your body, so. As long as you can defeat the two guards around me, I will recognize your credit. ”
