Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr The horses that were stabbed by the wooden spikes fell to the ground. The Xirong scouts were caught off guard and were thrown off their horses. Most of them fell into the wooden spikes and were severely injured. A few of them reacted quickly and managed to regain their footing in time.

Seeing this, Wei Xiuyuan used his psychic power to activate the second trap. Before the scouts who managed to regain their footing could retreat far away, the ground suddenly caved in, and they all fell into the pit without warning.

Wei Xiuyuan smiled and waved his hand at his subordinates. "Kill!"

Their team had galloped out on horseback, so there was basically no need for them to fight. These twenty Xirong scouts were either severely injured or had fallen into the pit. They had no combat ability at all.

Everyone surrounded these Xirong scouts and looked at Wei Xiuyuan hesitantly. "Captain, should we take them captive and bring them back for the reward?"

Wei Xiuyuan said, "Interrogate them first, then kill ten of them. Just bring ten back."

Then, they began to torture and interrogate the heavily injured Xirong scouts. However, these people were also tough bones. A few of them were whipped to death but they did not reveal any information.

Wei Xiuyuan watched this scene unfold, but he did not mind. Perhaps these trained scouts had stronger willpower than the average person, but to him, he could easily hypnotize and control them with his psychic power. What kind of information would he not be able to get?

However, psychic power was somewhat mysterious to the ancient people. Moreover, using psychic power to control people was a taboo, so he could not use it in front of his subordinates.

Seeing that his subordinates could not get anything out of the interrogation, he said, "Other than the leader, you can't touch him. Kill the other Xirong scouts one by one. See blood, then bring the rest of the captives back for the reward!"

The Xirong scouts could all understand Daqing language. Some of them had fearful and ferocious expressions on their faces. Some of them even tried to resist and escape, but they were all killed by Lin Zhong and the others who had mustered up their courage during the interrogation.

Each of them killed one Xirong scout. In addition to the ones who were beaten to death during the interrogation, there were only seven Xirong captives left.

After Lin Zhong and the others saw the blood, they could not help but vomit. The seven Xirong veterans looked at Lin Zhong and the others who were vomiting uncontrollably.

However, after Lin Zhong and the others finished vomiting, they stared at the remaining seven with bloodshot eyes. "Captain, we can feel that our blades are shaking. Can't we say we can't kill a few more of them?"

This was not the only time that Xirong attacked Daqing. Xirong had often come to Daqing's border to burn, kill, and loot during the autumn and winter seasons. This was a racial hatred that had lasted for decades.

Even though Lin Zhong and the others were not from the border, they had seen the devastation caused by Xirong's army after coming to the border for more than a month. They feared and hated the Xirong people.

Now that Wei Xiuyuan had found a way to capture a Cijon Reconnaissance Unit and killed them, their fear of Xirong people was dispelled. All that was left was hatred.

Therefore, after vomiting, they looked at the remaining Xirong scouts and could not help but feel itchy to kill them.

Although Wei Xiuyuan was satisfied with their change, he still did not allow them to act recklessly. "These seven people will be more useful if we bring them back than if you just kill them. Hurry up and tie them to the war horses and bring them back!"

"Yes!

Captain! "

Lin Zhong and the others quickly tied up all the captives, then each of them rode on a warhorse and led two wounded warhorses that they seized from Xirong's scouts, happily returning home.

＜＜＜＜＜

"Rumble, rumble, rumble." The sound of galloping horses could be heard. The defenders of Que Yu Guan were on high alert. "Watch out for an enemy attack!"

From the sound of the horses' hooves, it seemed that there were dozens of cavalrymen. However, when the target approached, the defenders were shocked to find that the people riding on the horses were actually wearing the Daqing soldiers' uniforms!

Wei Xiuyuan looked at Que Yu Guan from afar, then mounted his warhorse and charged towards Que Yu Guan alone. He shouted, "I am Wei Xiuyuan, the captain of the Daqing patrol team!

Our team captured a Cijon Reconnaissance Unit!

Please enter the pass! "

Wei Xiuyuan obviously knew that if he and the others rode Xirong's warhorses towards Que Yu Guan, they would easily be mistaken for the enemy. Even if they wore the Daqing soldiers' uniforms, they would still be mistaken for Xirong's troops disguised as Xirong's troops.

Therefore, in order to avoid being shot to death when they charged towards Que Yu Guan, Wei Xiuyuan went ahead and informed the defenders of Que Yu Guan of their identities.

If he went forward alone, even if he was mistaken for Xirong's troops, he would not be shot to death.

Wei Xiuyuan's words were heard by the defenders of Que Yu Guan, so when Lin Zhong and the others rode over from behind, the defenders on the walls of Que Yu Guan pointed their arrows at them, but did not shoot.

Soon, Wei Xiuyuan's direct superior appeared on the walls. After he recognized Wei Xiuyuan, Que Yu Guan lowered the drawbridge and let them enter the city.

After entering the city, they were stared at by a large group of battle-hardened elite soldiers. Lin Zhong and the others felt a little guilty.

Wei Xiuyuan's expression was calm as usual. He dragged the seven Xirong scouts who were tied up into a string in front of a military officer that even his direct superior had to stand respectfully behind him.

Wei Xiuyuan did not know the identity of this military officer, but he could tell that he was of high status from the mighty armor he was wearing. He vaguely called out, "General," and then reported, "This subordinate brought my brothers to patrol the area today and found the traces left behind by Xirong's scouts. We followed the traces and found the 20-man Cijon Reconnaissance Unit.

This subordinate realized that we could not defeat them, so we did not act rashly. Instead, we secretly set up traps to kill them, and finally captured all of them.

However, after killing 13 people, only these seven are left. Because of the traps, many of the war horses we captured were also damaged. "

War horses were a rare resource. Daqing could not defeat Xirong's army at the border not only because the Imperial Court was holding them back, but also because Xirong Army was basically made up of highly mobile cavalry. Daqing did not have as many good war horses, so the quality and quantity of their cavalry were not as good as Xirong's.

Wei Xiuyuan and the others were lucky to be able to patrol on war horses, but in reality, these ordinary war horses were far inferior to Xirong's war horses in terms of physique and running speed.

This was also why Wei Xiuyuan did not consider the option of escaping when they encountered the Cijon Reconnaissance Unit that was far stronger than their team. War horses were not as good as people, and there was no way they could outrun them.

Instead of running for a while and being caught up and then having to fight to the death, it was better to use the time difference to set up traps and kill the Cijon Reconnaissance Unit.
