Chapter 18 Ambush
"The scout said that about 7000 enemy troops are deploying defenses in the southeast direction, and the leader is General Ruan Yuxiong of the Chen Army."

Hearing this, Lu Chaoyang couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

His mother also caught a big fish!

If this piece of information is true, the credit is enough for a commander to be promoted to a garrison general!

Lu Chaoyang looked at Zhu Gaoxuan, and found that the boy was feeding the horse as if nothing had happened.

The origin of the information is Zhu Silang. If the information is reported, this young man can directly be promoted from a recruit to a general.

If it were Lu Chaoyang who was the other person, he would definitely have all the credit for it. He only needs to modify it a little when reporting, and it will be perfect. This is not difficult.

"What a lucky boy." The corners of Lu Chaoyang's mouth curled up slightly.

Only people like Lu Chaoyang would give credit to his subordinates without hesitation.

"Go and pull out the captured scout!" Lu Chaoyang said lazily.

……

Lu Chaoyang kicked the heavily bound scout to the ground in front of Zhu Gaoxuan.

"Boy, have you ever killed someone?" Lu Chaoyang asked.

Zhu Gaoxuan didn't speak, but had a shy and silly smile on his face.

Not long ago, he beat and killed a second-rank Yushi Youdu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in public in Fengtian Temple.

"I'll give you a chance to kill him." Lu Chaoyang grinned, although it was a smile, but it was extremely pervasive.

He had seen many new recruits, who trembled with fright after killing the first time after they came to the battlefield, and the enemy took the opportunity to chop off their heads.

Lu Chaoyang didn't want Zhu Gaoxuan to die like this.

So he wants to teach this Zhu Silang how cruel the battlefield is.

"I've said everything, why do you still want to kill me!" the scout yelled unwillingly.

Lu Chaoyang said lightly, "Are you so naive as to think that the Pioneer Camp will keep the captives alive?"

If they are captured by the battle barracks, chariot barracks, or city guard barracks, they may be used as labor force.But the Pioneer Battalion never let the prisoners live.

During the war, the vanguard battalion rushed to the forefront, and their task was to tear out a flaw in the enemy's defense line.In normal times, the vanguard battalion is responsible for detecting the enemy's situation, and what they pursue is an efficiency, and the captives will only delay the efficiency.

The Ming army has fought in Jiaozhi for so long, and there is no precedent for the prisoners captured by the vanguard battalion to survive.

After the vanguard battalion captures the captives, they will use torture to obtain useful information.Regardless of whether the intelligence was obtained or not, the prisoners were worthless, and the Vanguard Battalion had no time to waste time with a stubborn prisoner.

……

Zhu Gaoxuan drew out the saber, and tore off the cloth strip covering the front from the saber. This is a barrier saber among the four systems of Tang sabers. The blade is long and narrow, and the blade is sharp.

There is a saying in the Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty: "Barrier knife, cover the body with a barrier to defend against the enemy."

"Don't be nervous, take a deep breath, my knife is fast, and you will die quickly, and it won't be very painful." With a smile on his face, Zhu Gaoxuan said to the captured Chen Jun scout, "But if you splash blood on On me, I promise you will regret it."

Zhu Gaoxuan had a shy smile on his face, but he walked towards the captured scout with a knife like a ghost.

The scout was so frightened that he couldn't even yell out, desperately trying to break free from the binding rope, his heart was full of despair.

……

"Oh, why are you resisting?"

Zhu Gaoyi shook his head, and wiped off the blood that splashed on his face, "I've already said, if you cooperate, I will make your death very comfortable."

He said with emotion: "But you insisted on resisting and struggling, and splashed blood all over me. But it doesn't matter, we are even now. I am so kind. You spattered me with blood, and I stabbed you more than 80 times." , Good people like me are rare.”

Everyone who originally wanted to see the bloody recruits make jokes, but at the moment they just feel terrified.

Zhu Gaoxuan stabbed the prisoner more than 80 times, each knife was placed precisely, avoiding the bones and vital internal organs. The prisoner fainted more than ten times in pain, and then woke up again, and finally died of excessive blood loss.

Zhu Gaoyi put away the barrier knife, looked at everyone, and scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, because I was alone for so long."

Lu Chaoyang took a deep breath, and said to others: "Clean up this place, so as not to be found by the enemy."

The person in charge of cleaning up the traces was dumbfounded: "Master, how do you clean up this?"

Lu Chaoyang said tiredly: "Dig a hole, bury the corpse and the blood-stained soil at the bottom of the hole, find some dry soil to seal the hole, cover it with fallen leaves and vines, and then use branches to remove footprints and other traces. It’s impossible to leave even a trace, so let’s be more precise.”

"That's the only way to go." The person in charge of cleaning up the traces was a little helpless.

Lu Chaoyang looked at Zhu Gaoxuan who was standing next to Wuju. He had just killed someone with extremely cruel methods. At this time, he was gently stroking Wuju's back and humming a little song from the Qinhuai River with great interest. .

"Missing my eyes." Lu Chaoyang shook his head and muttered to himself, "Why did I treat such an evil ghost as a kid?"

……

After getting the information from the scouts, the team belonging to the Pioneer Battalion needs to send the information back to the temporary camp of the Pioneer Battalion in Shunzhou in the shortest possible time, and then the battalion officer of the Pioneer Battalion will report it to the Shuai Battalion.

They must move at full speed to ensure the timeliness of the information. The shorter the time, the fewer accidents, and the more credit will be assigned to Lu Chaoyang and others in the end.

In order to ensure that the final information could be sent back to the camp safely, Lu Chaoyang divided the team into three teams, one team led by Lu Chaoyang himself, and the other two teams led by the card officer.In this way, even if one team is unfortunately killed, the remaining two teams can send the information back.

And Zhu Gaoxuan and Shadow Servant Ah Qi were assigned to Lu Chaoyang's team.

……

"drive!"

Lu Chaoyang rode his horse and galloped wildly, and the horse's hooves trampled up dust and fog.

There was some inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.

The information came so easily, it was like pie falling from the sky.

Maybe it was luck, but Lu Chaoyang didn't believe it, because his luck had always been bad.

……

They were getting closer and closer to the camp, and the anxiety in Lu Chaoyang's heart finally calmed down, and he smiled: "There are still more than ten miles left, and there will be no enemy troops at this distance, it seems that I am suspicious. "

However, at this moment, the smile on Lu Chaoyang's face froze.

Damn, what are you afraid of?

Just in front of the path, sword-wielding soldiers wearing leather armor and straw sandals came out of the forest. There were at least 500 of them.

This is not the Ming army, but the Chen army, the enemy army!

"Quick retreat!" Lu Chaoyang roared, turning his horse's head around.

Then the road behind was also blocked by densely packed soldiers of Chen Jun.

Dead end!This is definitely a premeditated ambush!

Lu Chaoyang couldn't figure out why their humble pioneer battalion would be targeted by the enemy.

But this is not the time to think about it.

"My lord, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Lu Chaoyang turned around and saw that it was the recruit Zhu Silang who was talking.

He didn't understand why Zhu Silang said the word "involved".

"My father-in-law is really unreliable." Zhu Gaoxuan said with emotion, "In his own territory, my second brother can make a move."
