Lu Tu was very satisfied with the current battle situation. According to his rough calculation, the battle had only lasted for ten minutes.
They had already killed thousands of Wuhuan people, but most of them were trampled to death by their own people rather than by explosives.
As for their own side, they did not suffer any attacks. Even when someone resisted with arrows in the first round, it was directly blocked by Lü Tu and the 200 iron cavalry in front. The only loss was that a few warhorses were hit by arrows.
This was something Lu Tu had anticipated, but they couldn't afford to do it right now; they didn't have the resources to armor their warhorses as well.
Moreover, due to the characteristics of their bones and muscles, horses cannot remain inactive for extended periods.
Therefore, these wounded warhorses, especially those with leg injuries, would be killed immediately by their owners.
While ordering Tuoba Yue to seize other Wuhuan warhorses, Lü Tu led Nie Yun and half of the iron cavalry to chase after Saimuhe.
He knew he was still wearing heavy armor, and if Sam ran out of the camp area, there would be no way Lü Tu could catch up with him on the vast grassland.
Lu Tu seized the opportunity, drew his bow again, aimed at Samhe's back, and shot an arrow!
It was Lu Tu's signature move, the Five-Arrow Barrage. Even though Samhe's guards were incredibly loyal and tried to get behind Samhe to block the arrows, Lu Tu's strength was immense, far beyond their ability to withstand. One arrow pierced Samhe's back, knocking him off his horse.
The other fleeing Wuhuan people stopped when Samhe fell from his horse, wanting to rescue him and escape together.
But how could Lü Tu give them a chance when he made his move? He had also mixed a detonator into the five arrows, and after firing the five arrows in quick succession, Lü Tu calmly lit another fire arrow and shot it near the arrow with the detonator.
There was no need for much aiming, since the tips of the rockets that Lü Tu was carrying this time had been soaked in high-quality tung oil for a long time, and the cloth strips were tied very loosely.
Although this would significantly reduce the accuracy of the rocket, it would cause sparks to fly during the arrow's flight, thus better detonating the detonators made by Lü Tu.
Sam, who had just fallen off his horse, didn't even have time to feel the pain before he tried to get up and continue his escape. But as soon as he stood up, he fell down again. Looking down at his own shinbone, he saw that it was in an extremely twisted arc.
The nearby Wuhuan cavalrymen quickly reached out to grab him, trying to drag him onto their warhorses, hoping that he could escape the camp and still have a chance to live.
In his youth, Saimuhe was a hero who roamed the grasslands, deserts, and six towns in the north, and he called himself a hero of the grasslands. But now, he is old and frail, and he can't even get on the back of the horse he has ridden all his life.
The moment he grabbed the guard's outstretched hand, he felt a violent impact that sent him flying again!
Because there were no rockets on the detonators this time, the Karasuma people didn't immediately focus their attention on them.
Therefore, they were extremely close to the detonator, and the explosion occurred within one or two meters of them. The detonator was also filled with many broken pottery shards and iron slag by Lü Tu, so the explosive spray was truly devastating.
Within a 5-meter radius, both people and warhorses fell to the ground instantly!
Lu Tu waved his hand: "Capture Samhe alive!"
With such a generous reward, there are bound to be brave men. Of course, Lu Tu didn't stop either. He rushed towards Sai Mu and was determined to capture the old scoundrel alive.
Then bring him back to Wuchuan, so that he can complete his plan. At that time, Jiehan will go directly to the Wuhuan royal court to report the situation and ask them what they will offer in exchange.
If the other party refuses to exchange, it can be used to sabotage the marriage alliance between the two countries. Lu Tu can also give Saimu to Zhao Qingyao as a pledge of loyalty in exchange for more tangible benefits.
At this moment, Sam had lost all semblance of his chieftain authority. His already broken lower leg was injured again in the explosion, this time the calf was blown off.
He stared at the iron cavalry before him, sweating profusely, then raised his neck, closed his eyes, and looked as if he were about to commit suicide.
But the next second, he felt an extremely cold, sharp edge pressed against his throat. The surge of adrenaline made him extremely sensitive, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Open your dog eyes and look at me!" Lu Tu roared.
Sam opened his eyes and met Lu Tu's gaze, who had just removed his helmet. A look of disbelief flashed in Sam's eyes: "Who are you? Why are you so young?"
Nie Yun swiftly beheaded a resisting cavalryman with his broadsword, cursing, "You blind bastard, you don't even recognize our Wuchuan War God, Lord Lü!"
Samhe's pupils contracted sharply: "You are Lu Tu? What grudge do you have against our Saili tribe? You killed so many of our people before, and I haven't even bothered you yet, and you still dare to raid my tribe's main tent at night!"
Lu Tu smiled wickedly, "You Wuhuan dogs have killed so many of my people and compatriots over the years. You should have been prepared for retaliation long ago. Tie him up!"
Liu Hong immediately punched Sam in the nose, breaking his nasal bone on the spot, and blood gushed out from his mouth and nose.
"Behave yourself, or I'll skin you alive!"
Soon, news of Sam's capture spread throughout the entire Saili tribe. Upon hearing this news, all the tribal cavalrymen who were still fighting turned around and charged into the pitch-black grassland without looking back. Only the remaining herders chose to surrender and prostrated themselves on the ground.
Soon, Lü Tu's men took control of the remaining several thousand herders present.
Liu Hong threw Saimuhe onto the horse and followed Lu Tu into Saimuhe's tent.
Lu Tu glanced at the beautiful young woman on the bed, then at Sam's clothes: "You old bastard, you deserve to die tonight."
As they walked along the way, Semih was also counting the number of people on Lu Tu's side.
At this moment, he was furious and questioned, "Lu Tu, what exactly did you use to hit me? Are you really, as the folk legends of Wuchuan say, the reincarnation of the God of War?"
Lu Tu would certainly not be humble at such a time; wouldn't that be foolish?
"I'm not only the God of War, but also the God of Fire and the God of Thunder. Next time, I'll strike you with lightning!"
Upon hearing this, Sam completely lost his will to fight and slumped to the ground, his face deathly pale, looking as if he was about to go into shock from blood loss.
Lu Tu had someone give him a simple bandage and apply some allicin to the wound, lest the old man die on the way and delay his plans.
After searching around, Nie Yun excitedly handed over two items: "Reporting to elder brother, this is a topographical map of the area near the Saili tribe, and also a golden statue used for sacrificial rites!"
