Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

"Brothers, let's go!"

An hour later, Lu Xiao, having eaten and drunk his fill, mounted his horse and led his still weary cavalry toward the nearby Moda tribe's camp.

It was already evening when we arrived at our destination.

Like the Black Sand Chuo tribe, the people left behind by the Moda tribe were surprised that Lu Xiao would be so bold, and that they had gone even deeper into the grasslands than the Black Sand Chuo tribe.

Thus, they were suddenly swept in by Lu Xiao and his men while they were asleep.

Many people died in their dreams without even knowing that an enemy was attacking!

This time, Lu Xiao's team suffered losses, with seven or eight death row inmates dying.

Including the soldiers wounded during the attack on Heishachuo's main camp, the number of wounded soldiers is close to twenty.

Even Chen Ye was stabbed in the shoulder and has had to use his left hand, which is now less convenient.

After all, these death row inmates initially followed the group out of sheer courage, and having already cleared their names when they destroyed the main camp of the Black Sand Crow, they began to slack off.

Otherwise, the number of casualties would be even lower.

The following morning, Lu Xiao led his men to their final destination—the Qingwu tribe's camp.

As soon as they appeared, they were startled to see hundreds of fully armed Hu soldiers standing ready.

However, as they advanced at high speed, they discovered that among the barbarian soldiers, only seven or eight were genuine soldiers; the rest, young and old, were just a motley crew.

Further into the distance, members of the Qingwu tribe were fleeing for their lives, having already run some distance.

"They're quite clever; they actually discovered our trail!"

Seeing this, Lu Xiao sighed slightly, then raised the Black Dragon Spear and swung it forward forcefully:

"kill!"

"Kill the prisoners!"

The soldiers roared and charged forward, like a sharp knife piercing the center of the hundred or so guards, tearing them apart in an instant.

Lu Xiao wielded the Black Dragon Spear with wide, sweeping movements, almost always managing to knock down three or four Hu people before continuing his charge.

His soldiers followed closely behind, finishing off the remaining enemies.

"Commander, I wish to pursue those fleeing barbarians!"

A moment later, Chen Ye approached Lu Xiao and took out a gold artifact engraved with the insignia of the Northern Hu royal court:

"The Qingwu tribe seems to have some connection with the Northern Hu royal court. We absolutely cannot let anyone escape, or the consequences will be dire!"

Lu Xiao hadn't originally planned to pursue, but upon seeing the gold artifact, his expression turned serious, and he immediately agreed to the other party's request:

"Leave no one alive!"

"Here you go!"

After Chen Ye left, Lu Xiao ordered the remaining soldiers to carry out a merciless slaughter plan.

The discovery of gold artifacts from the Northern Hu royal court in Qingwu was an unexpected event, and if not handled properly, it could plant a huge time bomb for the future.

No one dared to let their guard down.

When there was no survivor in the Qingwu tribe's camp, Lu Xiao, seeing that Chen Ye and the others had not yet returned, had no choice but to order the soldiers around him to take a break while keeping watch and waiting for their comrades to return.

About half an hour later, Chen Ye returned with more than ten soldiers, living up to everyone's expectations.

Seeing his unpleasant expression, Lu Xiao's heart sank slightly.

"Did a few still manage to escape by accident?"

"no!"

Chen Ye shook his head, his gaze falling on his comrade beside him, a hint of sorrow flashing in his eyes:

"This pursuit has wiped out the remaining Qingwu tribe forces, but... we lost five or six brothers!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained solemn.

"As long as there are no future troubles, that's fine. After the brothers who died in battle return, I will increase the compensation for their families and do my best to make their relatives live a better life."

"Well, that's the only way."

After exchanging basic information, Lu Xiao told Chen Ye and the others to rest for a while before leading his troops back.

On the way, Chen Ye was quite curious, and he couldn't even contain his excitement as he spoke:

"Commander, do you intend to do what you did last time: directly charge into the allied forces of the three tribes and take their heads amidst the chaos?"

"This time the situation is different!"

Lu Xiao shook his head, indicating that he already had a solution in mind:

"Let's go back first. The sooner we return, the less pressure we'll put on the brothers who stay behind!"

……

"Commander, the defense is about to crumble!"

In the White Wolf camp, a soldier ran up to Zhou Daxing and said urgently:

"The Hu people's offensive was fierce, especially the remnants of Heishachuo's army, almost all of them were fearless and put tremendous pressure on our brothers!"

"When will Commander Luo and his men arrive with reinforcements?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daxing shook his head and sternly rebuked:

"This isn't something you or I should worry about; just hold your ground!"

"If we can't hold out, we'll bring over the cooks and grooms from the army camp, and also get those civilians from the rear who refuse to leave to come and help!"

"Here you go!"

After his subordinates left, Zhou Daxing looked at the fierce Hu people, his eyes filled with worry.

Three consecutive days of fighting had exhausted all the soldiers, and what was even more despairing was that the two thousand Hu soldiers brought by Qingwupu Lie had also begun to join the battlefield in batches.

During these three days, they rested and recuperated, and when facing the soldiers of the Great Zhou, they were almost one against three and were not at a disadvantage at all!

After a moment's thought, Zhou Daxing seemed to have thought of something and immediately shouted to the people around him:

"Summon Commander Huang and Commander Zhao to take their men down to rest, and order Commander Gao and Commander Meng to go up and take turns!"

"Here you go!"

At the White Wolf Mountain camp, several centurions also took turns leading troops to defend the area, but their rest time was far less than that of the Hu people.

After giving his instructions, Zhou Daxing's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He hurriedly ran to the other side and found Fan Changrui, who was personally leading the charge.

"Sister-in-law, you should go and rest!"

"No, retreat to the county seat immediately and don't come back!"

He was genuinely worried that something might happen to Fan Changrui.

Yesterday afternoon, Fan Changrui saw that the soldiers' morale was starting to crumble again, so he immediately took up his sword and went to the battlefield.

She knew very well that apart from the hundred veterans at the White Wolf outpost, the remaining garrison were all new recruits who had only been trained for a month or two, and it was no easy feat for them to have held out this long.

But that's not enough!

Fan Changrui couldn't think of any other way to boost morale, so she could only set an example for the soldiers by leading by example.

Upon hearing Zhou Daxing's words, she firmly shook her head:

"I can't leave!"

"This place represents my husband's hard work, and even if we retreat to the county town, when the Hu army attacks, we will both be forced to go to the battlefield, and even more people will suffer!"

As she spoke, she wiped the battle sword, which had several nicks and chips, with her sleeve, tore off a strip of cloth, and tightly bound her right hand to the sword, her expression unwavering.

"I said I would fight to the death, and I will persevere to the very end!"

"But sister-in-law..."

Zhou Daxing was extremely anxious and was about to have Fan Changrui forcibly taken away.

Just then, a series of shouts suddenly arose from all around:

"Lord Chito has returned!"

"Colonel Luo is leading over a thousand garrison troops to reinforce us. Please give the order, Commander!"
