But the common soldier may have never seen her or, at most, seen her at a distance. There's no mention of her ever being seen on the battlefield and IIRC Vlad's messmates have never actually seen her. So, if only a few Dragon Generals have seen her, I'd guess that even fewer have seen Tukko, and none of them are likely to be in the alleys of Vlad's territory.
