In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 45
"The Tatars have robbed so many of our Han compatriots this time. It's really hateful!"

"Damn Houjin Tartars, why didn't God send down thunder to kill them?"

"Sir, are we here to rescue those Han compatriots?"

"But we can't save many of us!"

"How many can I save?"

"Hey!"

In a dark place three miles to the north of the Jurchen camp, a dozen men in black were lying on the ground, looking at the movements coming from the Tatar camp not far away. They all gnashed their teeth in hatred and cursed. .

"Okay, sooner or later we will have to pay for the blood debt of these Houjin Tartars, but this time we are not here to save people, but to rob them."

Although Lin Rui also hated it, he also knew that with his current strength, there was nothing he could do, so he waved his hand.

With the group of Mongolian girls in charge of reconnaissance, especially since he deliberately told to pay attention to the south, he learned the news of the arrival of the Hou Jin army earlier than the other tribes, and then led an elite team to kill them overnight. Come.

"Steal people?"

Everyone looked confused when they heard that they were here to rob someone.

"Yes, grab Lin Danhan's wife and children." Lin Rui nodded and explained.

It is simply not cost-effective for the brothers to take huge risks to rescue some Han people. The key is that not many can be rescued.

But if it's Lin Dan Khan's wife and children, it's totally worth the gamble.

Since Huang Taiji defeated Lin Dan Khan, he has been pursuing and fighting fiercely. He even did not hesitate to lead the army to Qinghai Lake to kill Lin Dan Khan. He also went on several expeditions to keep his wife and children in his hands. Just to completely rule all the Mongolian tribes.

As a golden bloodline, Lindan Khan, a descendant of Genghis Khan, is still the nominal Great Khan of all Mongolian tribes no matter how unbearable he is or how many people betray his relatives.

Even Huang Taiji knew the importance of Lin Dan Khan's wife and children and the huge political significance contained in them. How could a modern man like Lin Rui not know what Lin Dan Khan's wife and children meant to the Mongolian tribes?
As long as Lin Dan Khan's wife and children are held in his hands, not to mention conquering other Mongolian tribes in the future, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Even the more than 2 Chahar tribe in the Liaohe area is also a huge wealth.

Because of this, Lin Rui did not hesitate to take huge risks and try to kill Lin Danhan's wife and children.

It would be better if he could also get the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, but Lin Rui really didn't care much about the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.

Firstly, we don’t know whether it is true or not; secondly, if the strength has not reached a certain level, the national jade seal will have little effect, and may even be counterproductive.

That thing is a typical icing on the cake, rather than a timely help.

"Sir, what's the point of us robbing Lin Dan Khan's wife and children? Are they going to be exchanged for us Han people with Hou Jin's Tatars?"

Everyone also looked at Lin Rui with puzzled expressions.

"I'll explain this to you slowly when I get back."

Lin Rui valued this group of subordinates very much and planned to train them well so that they would not be as ignorant as before. Therefore, no matter who asked questions, he would patiently answer them.

But I'm obviously not in the mood now.

No one said anything more. It was not until the dead of night and the Tatars in the camp completely stopped that Lin Rui gave everyone an explanation and went to investigate alone.

There are only two targets this time. He goes alone. It would be more suitable for everyone to take care of him outside, and it would be less likely to be exposed.

Lin Rui also only brought a dagger, wearing black clothes, black pants and a black hat, and easily reached the edge of the camp.

Those responsible for patrolling and sentrying in the camp are still traitorous soldiers. Nowadays, as long as the Houjin Tatars are white-armored soldiers with a slightly higher status, they will bring a Han servant to assist them in battle.

Lin Rui easily bypassed these patrolling traitor soldiers and headed towards the center of the camp.

After evading and searching, not only did he have no clue, but he was almost discovered by patrolling traitor soldiers several times. Lin Rui knew that he could no longer continue searching like a headless fly.

Because he had no idea where Lin Danhan's wife and children were being held, nor did he know what they looked like. In this case, he had to grab someone's tongue and question them.So he secretly knocked out a traitor soldier standing guard and dragged him behind a backlit tent.

While covering his mouth, he put a dagger on his neck to wake him up.

"Woooo..."

"Don't move, if you move again I will kill you immediately!"

Lin Rui shouted in a low voice and stabbed the dagger into his skin. As expected, the traitor soldier was in pain and looked horrified and did not dare to move anymore.

"Tell me, where are Lin Dan Khan's wife and children being held?"

"Forgive...forgive me..."

"Stop talking nonsense, speak quickly."

"Then, over there..."

Lin Rui only opened his mouth a little and asked.

The man originally wanted to beg for mercy, but he felt the sharp knife on his neck, inserted more into it, and quickly pointed to a tent in the distance.

Lin Rui didn't know if he was just talking nonsense, but he could only choose to try his luck. With a click, he broke his neck and moved towards the tent.

When he came nearby, he found that the tent was surrounded by sentries, and there were even two Houjin Tatars at the door. Lin Rui was also surprised, but also overjoyed.

The defense was so tight. Needless to say, there must be important people inside. Lin Rui observed it and saw that it was impossible for him to sneak into the tent by himself, so he had to choose to leave first.

Everyone who was in charge of taking care of him outside the camp breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the young master returned safely.

"The Tatars are too tightly defended in that place. I need two people to cooperate..."

After Lin Rui finished speaking, he selected two people and disappeared into the night again. After the three of them reached the tent, the other two used a bundle of hay they carried to set fire to a tent not far away.

Lin Rui, wearing the clothes of a traitor soldier, rushed towards the traitor soldiers who were on guard in a panic, shouting: "Oh no, there's a fire over there, go put out the fire..."

Grassland fires in autumn are no joke. When the traitor soldiers guarding the tent saw smoke coming out, they rushed over immediately.

The two Tatars at the door of the tent were indifferent and just turned their heads to look, but they did not stop these traitor soldiers from putting out the fire.

Lin Rui took the opportunity to fall behind, then turned around and came to the back of the tent, opened a gap with a dagger and got in.

Time was limited, so after getting into the tent, Lin Rui went straight to the bed in the back room. Seeing that there was only one person lying on the bed, he couldn't care less, so he hit the back of the head hard, then carried him away.

He couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman, let alone interrogate him. Whether he caught the right person or not was just a matter of luck, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Sure enough, just as Lin Rui carried the people out of the tent, a few traitor soldiers came back cursing before a group of people passed by. Fortunately, they didn't find that the tent had been torn and the people inside had been carried away.

Lin Rui had just carried the people out of the Tatar camp without any danger. He didn't go far when he noticed that there was some commotion in the Tatar camp. He must have discovered it.

Fortunately, the responders came over in time with their horses, and the two people who set the fire had already escaped.

"Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for long."

Lin Rui quickly tied the man on the back of a horse, got on the horse and galloped away with everyone.

In just half a quarter of an hour, a group of Tatars chased Lin Rui and the others in the direction they were walking. The number of Tatars they chased was far more than this group. There were almost a dozen groups, all of which chose different directions to catch up.

However, Lin Rui and the others were well prepared. After only running for thirty miles, another group of people came to meet them. They changed horses and ran again. They ran for another thirty miles in one breath, and then changed horses and ran again.
