A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

After successfully destroying the first wave of scouts, Lu Cheng immediately led his men to search north and east. After running for more than ten miles, he found the second wave of scouts, which was still a team of less than ten people. This time, when Lu Cheng rushed out, all the cavalry behind him immediately followed and chased after the group of Jiannu. It was another chase and escape battle. Lu Cheng still relied on the advantage of the warhorse to quickly close the distance and shoot arrows. However, this time Lu Cheng was not so lucky. He shot two or three arrows in a row, but did not hit any enemy. Instead, he scared the enemy and dispersed immediately. Maybe the novice protection period has passed, Lu Cheng no longer uses his "point and shoot" archery skills, aiming at a Jiannu and chasing after him.

After the distance is shortened, Lu Cheng nimbly dodges the arrows shot by the opponent, takes out a crossbow, shoots three crossbow arrows at the same time, and immediately two crossbow arrows hit the enemy.

However, the power of the crossbow arrows is too weak, and it did not cause much damage to the enemy.

But Lu Cheng no longer cares about the enemy, and runs to another enemy.

The guy shot by the crossbow arrows rode a dozen steps, shook his body, and fell off the horse, foaming at the mouth and twitching all over.

At this time, Lu Cheng has also approached the second enemy and loaded the crossbow in his hand.

Compared with bows and arrows, Lu Cheng is very good at using crossbows.

The special brigade sometimes uses military bows and crossbows in combat, and Lu Cheng is quite familiar with crossbows.

In comparison, even if a gun is equipped with a silencer, it will still make a certain amount of noise. Military crossbows are more concealed, silent, fire-free, and can adapt to various environments. They are also extremely accurate within a hundred meters.

Of course, a good military crossbow is also quite expensive, usually costing tens of thousands of yuan, which is several times or even dozens of times that of an ordinary rifle.

Although the hand crossbow in Lu Cheng's hand cannot be compared with a military crossbow, when the distance is close to a certain extent, the crossbow arrows coated with poison have super lethality.

Seeing the enemy fleeing in a scattered manner, the cavalrymen behind him immediately scattered and chased after them. After the distance was shortened, they immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot at each other with the enemy.

However, the people Lu Cheng brought were obviously not good at horseback archery. They suffered losses in the shooting with the enemy. Not only did they not shoot any enemy, but one was shot in the arm and one was shot in the horse.

Lu Cheng could only speed up and deal with other enemies.

If someone died in the initial battle, it would definitely affect morale.

Fortunately, Ding Xiu helped, and the two of them quickly dealt with the remaining scouts.

This time, because seven or eight enemies fled in all directions, Lu Cheng and his men chased them for several miles before finally eliminating the last enemy.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng personally treated the wound of the injured cavalryman, pulled out the arrow, disinfected it with pre-distilled wine, applied ointment, and bandaged the wound: "How is it? Are you afraid?"

The man shook his head: "Sir, I'm not afraid."

"That's right, the enemy's arrows are not that powerful. After exceeding a certain range, they will become very slow. If you are more careful, you can avoid it. Of course, don't be afraid if you are injured. As long as everyone has a breath, I will heal you. I brought enough healing medicine."

"Thank you, sir."

"Okay, clean up the battlefield and divide the money!"

"Yes! Sir!"

More than thirty taels of silver were searched from seven or eight scouts, which was not enough for one tael per person. Lu Cheng simply distributed the silver to four temporary flag officers, letting them take it first, and then share the confiscated silver together after killing the enemy next time.

There were only so few people, and so little silver, it was clear and obvious, everyone was watching, and there was no need to worry about anyone embezzling.

This time, Ding Xiu killed two Jiannu again and got another ten taels of silver.

Everyone looked at Ding Xiu differently, because that was twenty taels of silver, which was more than their annual salary.

Of course, Ding Xiu earned the money with his own ability, so no one could say anything, and everyone could only envy and admire him.

After replacing the horses and cleaning the battlefield, the group continued to search and move forward.

Two consecutive victories had completely dispelled the fear in the hearts of these soldiers, making them more eager for the enemy, and they were all thinking that they must be the first to rush up when they met the enemy next time.

However, they kept searching eastward.

After several dozen miles, no other scouts were found.

Lu Cheng did not continue to lead his men to go deeper eastward. After all, the east was close to the territory of the Later Jin Dynasty, and there might be more enemies.

It was already evening when they returned from the east to the place where they first encountered the enemy.

Just as they turned around a forest, a large group of people suddenly appeared in front of them. According to a rough estimate, there were at least thousands of people.

Fortunately, those people were coming from the south to the north, and they were also flying the flags of the Ming army.

Lu Cheng took out a monocular telescope and took a look at the situation. After seeing the opponent's flag clearly, he knew that the opponent was Li Ruzhen's people.

Lu Cheng immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Don't contact them, we will go around from the left."

The cavalry under his command immediately went around to the left and prepared to return to Shenyang City first.

At this time, those people saw that Lu Cheng's side had few people and actually surrounded him. Lu Cheng immediately sent someone to report it.

In fact, both sides were wearing Ming army armor and would not attack each other at the first time.

Soon, a group of cavalry ran out of the enemy's army and came to Lu Cheng and others.

After seeing Lu Cheng's men and horses, and the dozen Jiannu heads hanging on one of the war horses, the leading general's eyes lit up, showing a bit of greed, and then suppressed: "Captain Lu, the harvest is not small."

Lu Cheng arched his hands: "General Li, there are only a few spies, which is nothing. General Li will surely kill the Jiannu in this attack."

The man who came was Li Ruzhen himself, and he was obviously interested in the heads that Lu Cheng had taken this time.

If it was just some armor, weapons and horses, Li Ruzhen, a general, would not look down on it.

But the heads of the dozen Tartars were a great achievement.

In the direct battle between the Ming border army and the Jiannu, if they could take a dozen heads and then repel the enemy, they could claim a great victory and ask for credit from the higher-ups. If this achievement falls on a centurion, he can be promoted to a thousand-householder directly.

But Lu Cheng is Xiong Tingbi's confidant after all. Although he is only a small thousand-householder, Li Ruzhen did not dare to rob him openly. He just smiled and said, "Congratulations to Lu Qianhu for making a fortune. Don't forget to return the horses of this general soldier."

"General Li, please rest assured. We will return the horses immediately after we go back."

After saying hello, the two parties separated.

After Lu Cheng and his men walked away, Li Ruzhen was still a little disdainful: "What? Isn't it just a small captain?"

A captain next to him immediately began to flatter him: "What the general said is right. I heard that Lu Cheng was just a small general flag before. I don't know what kind of shit luck he had to get a captain. How can he compare with us."

On the other side, after separating from Li Ruzhen's men, Ding Xiu also came over: "Sir, those guys just now seemed to have bad intentions."

"Don't worry, they are just grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be able to jump for a few days."

Everyone continued to rush back, and when it was about to get dark, they finally rushed back to Shenyang City.

Originally, Lu Cheng was going to stay outside the city tonight and continue looking for scouts tomorrow. But after seeing Li Ruzhen, Lu Cheng immediately changed his mind and came back first to reorganize.

Before the city gate was closed, the group finally returned to Shenyang City.

After entering the city, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then became excited.

A total of more than a dozen scouts were killed this time. Except for two horses that were injured and killed, the rest of the horses were intact. A warhorse can be worth fifteen to twenty taels of silver. If it is a particularly good one, it can be worth eighty or ninety taels.

Even if the lowest price of more than ten taels of silver per horse is used, these warhorses can be sold for more than 200 taels. Add those weapons, bows and arrows, and the leather armor on the scouts, and it is not a problem to sell more than three hundred taels of silver.

Calculated in this way, everyone can get a few taels of silver. This is just a run, and you can get so much silver. Who wouldn’t be excited?

Lu Cheng first asked Ding Xiu to report the situation to Xiong Jinglue, and immediately began to prepare to divide the spoils.

"Brothers, we have made a lot of gains this time. These horses are priced at 16 taels, and each sword is 2 taels... a total of more than 300 taels, and each person can get about 7 taels of silver. Let's round it up to an integer, 7 taels of silver each. You go back to the camp first, and I will give you the silver later."

"Yes!"

Then, Lu Cheng immediately ran to see Xiong Tingbi, and after telling Xiong Tingbi about the battle in detail, he continued: "Sir, before setting off this time, in order to mobilize morale, I promised the soldiers that the captured spoils would be exchanged for silver and divided equally among everyone. But I don't have enough silver on hand, so I want to borrow 200 taels of silver from you."

Xiong Tingbi waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything.

Borrow or not, you deserve a big reward for such a great achievement. Let's do this, you go and withdraw three hundred taels of silver, give it to the soldiers first, and you can use the rest yourself. "

"Thank you, sir!"

Fortunately, we raided the governor's house before and seized a lot of money. This money may be a drop in the bucket for the whole Liaodong, but it is no problem to take out two or three hundred taels to reward Lu Cheng.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng took the silver to the military camp of the escort team as soon as possible, specially summoned everyone, called the soldiers' names one by one, and personally distributed the silver to them.

Seeing the white silver fall into the hands of others, those who did not follow Lu Cheng out, don't mention how much they regretted.

Immediately, someone asked: "Sir Lu, are you going tomorrow? Count me in."

Lu Cheng laughed: "Of course I will go tomorrow."

Everyone was excited and immediately signed up: "Sir Lu, count me in, I can ride a horse and shoot arrows. ”

“Me too, I can shoot arrows very accurately.”

“Stop, stop, stop! Listen to me. Now the three generals have led their troops to the battle, each with several thousand men. Even if we go out again tomorrow, it will be difficult to have a chance to make a fortune like today.”

Everyone was a little depressed when they heard this, and regretted why they didn’t go out with him today.

Those who had received the silver were naturally happy and beaming.

At this time, Lu Cheng continued, “If we go out again tomorrow, although we won’t make a fortune, it’s still okay to make a small fortune with him.”

Everyone was excited again when they heard this…
