The concept of the Eastern battlefield, being captured has always been the most shameful. It is equally shameful to be captured in a state of serious injury that does not even have the ability to commit suicide, or to be captured in a state of complete undoubtedness. This notion has not changed even after 400 years. No matter what great achievements you have made before, once you are captured, your life is destined to be full of stains. You will spend all your days in darkness forever. Those who have been captured will never be able to hold their heads up in front of others.

Xu Xingxia, who was in his previous life, had some understanding of the 79-year self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. If you want to say that what impressed him the most, it is probably the glorious bullet. The Glory Bullet is a grenade, and it is said that the lead is so short that the grenade explodes as soon as the string is pulled. When the enemy is surrounded, or when you have just fallen into the hands of the enemy, you just pull the strings and you don't know anything. Because, after the glorious flick, you are left with only black and white photos.

Of course, this may also be a false rumor, completely fictional. Glory Bullets may be ordinary grenades. However, in any case, its function is the same, that is, I would rather die than be a prisoner. It doesn't matter if you can blow up the enemy or not, as long as you can blow yourself up. It can be seen that the shame of being a captive is absolutely unbearable for the Easterners. Obviously, Xu Xingxia was also influenced by this kind of thinking.

"You can't be a prisoner even if you die!" Xu Xingxia repeatedly admonished the scout team.

Because of this kind of ideological indoctrination, the scouts of the white-clothed army are always ready to be martyrs. In case of possible capture, you must decisively end your life. Therefore, it is definitely not an easy task for the Tatar scouts to catch the tongue of the white-clothed army. At that time, if a person was determined to die, he could always find a way. The key is to have super willpower. Among them, biting the tongue and committing suicide is the most effective method.

Even if you encounter a sneak attack, in the process of fighting, you have every chance to bite your tongue and commit suicide. With the medical skills of the time, it was impossible to stop the bleeding of the tongue. After a large amount of blood loss, the person naturally dies. Of course, if you don't even have the opportunity to bite your tongue, it means that the situation is indeed too bad, the difference in strength between the two sides is too far, and you are completely at a controlled disadvantage.

In fact, such a situation is simply not possible. Since he is a scout, he naturally has to be familiar with the special surname of the scout, how to capture the tongue, or how to be captured by the enemy to become a tongue, all of which are quite familiar. Unless you fall into the trap carefully laid by the other party, it is impossible to face the crisis of not even having a chance to commit suicide.

The scouts on both sides fought each other, some of the white-clothed soldiers were killed in battle, and some of the scouts were wounded. However, there were absolutely no captured scouts. On the contrary, there were as many as three or four Tatar scouts caught by the white-clad scouts. Information about the Tatars was tortured from the tongues of the Tatars.

Without catching the tongue of the White Army, the Tatars would not be able to know the details of the White Army. Of course, this is not a good thing for Eryudun and Helekin. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles! However, for the Tatar scouts, there was more to their troubles than that. They were suddenly shocked to find that their opponents, in addition to the scouts of the White Army, also had another group of musketeers. The sudden appearance of this group of musketeers made the Tatar scouts almost completely lose their square inches and be at a loss.

At first, the Tatars thought that the musketeers were also scouts of the White Army, and treated them as if they were scouts, only to find out later that they were not. In the process, the Tatar scouts suffered a great loss. When they realized the difference between the musketeers, the price they paid was considerable.

The main mission of a standard scout is to obtain information. In order to obtain information, their principle is to avoid alarming the enemy as much as possible. Once the enemy is alarmed, any plan will fail. In order to avoid revealing their identities, they generally rarely kill people. Unless a valuable target is found, a risky approach must be taken. The killing movement is so great that it is impossible not to alarm other enemies. If you have not yet gotten close to the target you want to capture alive and you have alarmed the other person, how can you still catch the tongue alive?

However, the Tatar cavalry encountered these people were completely different from the scouts. They have no need to hide at all, and they are not afraid to kill. They even kill people indiscriminately. It feels like their purpose is not for intelligence, but for pure killing. That's right, it's killing. They don't care about revealing their position, they don't care about capturing the enemy alive. Although they are also in groups of three or five, they are erratic, but they always carry a chilling killing intent.

The Tatar scouts, if unfortunate enough to encounter them, were most likely shot on the spot. Since there is no need to hide their identities and catch their tongues alive, these musketeers of the White Army can shoot from a long distance. But the damned musket, with its long range and high accuracy, and multiple people shooting at the same time, often caused the Tatar scouts to be killed before they could react.

The unfortunate Tartar scouts didn't know who was shooting them until the moment they died. They can only infer in general terms that it is the White Army, but they do not know which unit of the White Army is at all. A lot of Tartars, who were running and running, suddenly felt that they had been bitten by mosquitoes, and then heard the dull sound of gunfire. Then he fell headlong to the ground, unconscious. If you're lucky, maybe you'll still have the consciousness and be able to struggle for a while. If you're unlucky, report directly to Immortal Heaven.

What's even worse is that these musketeers of the White Army always disappear immediately after firing. They didn't even come to check how many people were wounded and killed, and how many remained. Before the other Tatar scouts could begin to give chase, they had already run away without a trace. The rest of the Tatars often saw clouds of white smoke from the firing of muskets or clouds, or dust from the hooves of their horses as they quickly departed.

Encountering such an opponent, the Tatar scouts felt very depressed. What is depressing about them is not the lethality of those white-clothed musketeers, but their coming and going like the wind, and they run away when they kill someone. With such an opponent, you simply can't fight back against the surname. God knows, where did they come from? God knows, where will they hide? No one can guarantee that next time, it will not be him who will be shot.

After all, the range of the white-coated musket is at least thirty or forty zhang away, and sometimes even fifty or sixty zhang away. No Tatar scout, no matter how skillful, could not have detected the danger thirty or forty feet away! And the archery of the Tartar itself, which is thirty zhang away, is basically non-lethal. Even if they want to fight back at the first time, there is no possibility of fighting back. Forcibly releasing arrows is nothing more than a waste of arrows.

What's even worse is that these musketeers of the White Army, in terms of clothing, are not the slightest difference from the scouts of the White Army. The vast majority of the Tatars will treat them as scouts of the White Army. As a result, just as they tried to get close to deal with it, they suddenly opened fire. Often, a volley of guns would come and one or two Tatars would be killed. Sometimes, if you are unlucky, it is possible that three people will be shot.

As a result, the casualties of the Tatar scouts, in just half a day, there were blowout casualties. They suffered more than fifty casualties! Every sporadic burst of gunfire had the potential to cause Tatar casualties. Do not think that the casualties of fifty people are negligible. You must know that these people are not ordinary Tartars, they are all Tartar scouts! Three hundred ordinary Tartars may not be as good as fifty scouts!

Basically, those who can act as scouts have their own combat abilities that are quite strong. In addition, their reflexes, tracking abilities, and escape abilities are all first-class. Some scouts are even first-class in terms of combat ability. It can be said that whether it is the Tatars or the scouts of the white-clothed army, they are the elite of the elite. The loss of these people is simply fatal. An experienced scout, that's not something that can be cultivated in a short period of time.

"What's going on?" Eyudun asked in surprise.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Hellerkin also asked helplessly.

From their experience, they can be sure that those hateful white-clad musketeers are definitely not white-clad scouts. If the scouts of the White Army were like this, it would be impossible for them to capture the Tatar prisoners, and it would be impossible for them to get information. It is estimated that if their identity is not a little special, even the scouts of the White Army will not be able to tolerate them. These guys, on the battlefield, are completely sabotage!

However, who the other party was, the two of them didn't have the slightest clue for a long time. Due to the appearance of these strange musketeers, the Tatar scouts all flinched a little, and did not dare to take the initiative to provoke each other. It took a long time for them to figure it out. Those hateful white-clad musketeers were skirmishers of the Eagle Cavalry.

"Damn skirmishers!" He scolded fiercely.

"Damn the whites!" Hellerkin also scolded stupidly.

They had no other information other than the knowledge that they were stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry. The stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry Army, what kind of troop formation, how many people, and who the commander was, the Tatars did not have the slightest clue. None of them expected that less than two months after the last Gugrad suffered a loss, the white-clothed army had a new idea. That Xu Xingxia, I really don't know where it jumped out, why is he so good at tossing?

For the Tatars, these stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry are simply devils. Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend against, let alone shoot from a distance. Around the Gobi Desert, the terrain is still a bit undulating, and there are many large and small sand dunes. Lurking at a distance of thirty or forty zhang and suddenly firing a gun is definitely an easy and ordinary thing. In other words, the Tatar scouts were simply unguardable against the sneak attack of the Eagle Cavalry. The only effective way was to withdraw the Tatar scouts and completely out of range of the carpent cavalry's muskets.

However, if the scouts were withdrawn, the "ears" and "eyes" of the Tatars would fail. Without the presence of scouts, not only can they not understand the enemy's intelligence in time, but they will not even be able to detect the enemy's sneak attack on them in time. For battlefield commanders, this is very dangerous. Because, although Erdun and Helkin were very annoyed and heartbroken, they must continue to send scouts and continue to suffer unspeakable casualties.

"Bang!"

A dull gunshot rang out.

This is, of course, the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry shooting.

Every time they heard these sporadic gunshots, Edun and Helekin felt deeply uncomfortable.

Because, most likely, after the gunshot, another Tatar scout was wounded or killed. Whether wounded or killed, this Tatar scout must have been scrapped. Seeing the elites under their command die at the guns of the white-clothed army like this, but there is no way to save them, the mood of the two of them, not to mention how depressed they are.

For a time, all the scouts of the Tatars hated the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry Army, and they still hated Xu Xingxia. There was no way, Xu Xingxia was only indirectly threatening them. The stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry are a direct threat to their lives. As long as they are not careful, they will most likely lose their lives if they get within range of the muskets of the Eagle Cavalry.

"Well done! That's it! Xu Xingxia said with satisfaction.

Some people rejoice, some people are sad. Since the Tatars are so sad, the white-clothed army naturally wants to celebrate the victory. Erdun and Helekin both hated the Eagle Cavalry stragglers so much, and it can be seen that the Eagle Cavalry stragglers did hit the Tatars in the sore spot. As long as it is something that can make the Tatars uncomfortable, Xu Xingxia will do it, and he will do it in a big way. Therefore, Xu Xingxia rewarded all the soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry Army without hesitation.

His reward is definitely implemented. As long as you can prove the number of Tartars you have killed, you can get corresponding rewards. This reward is mainly spiritual. Limited by the lack of money, the incentive system of the White Army is basically based on honor and awards, and there are few direct rewards in terms of money. To this end, Xu Xingxia also specially designed an original medal model. Depending on the number of kills, different medals can be worn.

Specifically, kill five enemies and wear an Iron Medal. Kill ten enemies and wear a bronze medal. Kill twenty enemies and wear a silver medal. Kill fifty enemies and wear a gold medal. Gold medals can be earned repeatedly. Kill a hundred enemies to earn two gold medals. If you can kill 300 enemies, you'll get six gold medals. And so on. If you have enough skills, it is possible to obtain ten gold medals.
