Chapter 59: Merit

Zhou Jin hurried out of the space, tidied his clothes a little, and then walked towards the tent they had temporarily set up on the edge of the ground.

Captain Han was wiping his silver spear with a piece of cloth out of boredom. When he saw him come in, he casually asked:

"Where have you been again, kid?"

"I didn't go anywhere, just walked around the edge of the field."

Zhou Jin also pretended to be bored and sat next to Han Baihu, complaining:

"It's so boring every day. All I do is stare at the ground. If I had known this would happen, you might as well have kept me in the camp to train!"

"You think I love doing this?"

Captain Han sympathized with Zhou Jin's complaints. He, too, was fed up with these mundane matters. As a brave general, shouldn't he just be on the battlefield killing enemies? Why did he have to worry about these endless trivial matters every day?

He has to worry about it. If he fails to deliver the grain, he will be the one to be punished!

Zhou Jin saw that his words had worked, and he began to seduce her with a squinting look:

"Captain, I don't have anything to do right now. How about we go to Baili Town and have some fun? I heard that your old lover, Sister Chuntao, is ignoring you again? Hey, do you know why?"

Han Baihu gets angry when he mentions this.

"Why else? Because I don't have any money!!"

"Hey, you're not right. If you were to say that, why would the top girls from Baihualou and Fenfangguan all be willing to pay out their own pockets to support that poor scholar from Xisi Hutong? And why would they keep him plump and well-dressed all day? He's much poorer than you!"

"Because he's got a pretty face, but he's just a gigolo!" Captain Han raged again. "How do you know so much when you're always hanging around in the barracks? And why do you always bring up those annoying things? Don't you think I'm annoying enough?"

"Haha, I just heard those veteran soldiers talking about this," Zhou Jin said with a smile, "Captain, I've been thinking about this for the past few days and I think the reason you're not liked by Sister Chuntao is probably because you're too low-key on weekdays. Think about it, Sister Chuntao must be following you for something, right?"

"Either you want your money, huh," Zhou Jin looked Han Baihu up and down, "You don't have,"

"Or maybe it's your appearance," he looked at her again.

"Uh~~You're okay, but you're obviously no match for those pretty boys!

Then they can only seek your influence!"

"You kid, do you want me to bully others for a prostitute? I won't do that!" Captain Han said angrily.

"That's not the case. There's no need for that. Besides, compared to the other captains in Baili Town, your power isn't that great," Zhou Jin said calmly amid Captain Han's roar. This angered Captain Han even more, and he reached out to hit him...

"Hey, don't hit me first, listen to what I have to say!" Zhou Jin said with a smile:

"I feel that your heroic spirit can only be revealed when you are wearing armor. Once you put on the armor, those centurions and pretty boys nearby will be instantly defeated by you without leaving any trace. None of them can match your heroic spirit!

Those ordinary clothes don't suit you at all, especially those silk shirts. You look like a country bumpkin in them. No wonder Sister Chuntao dislikes you! That's not your style at all!

I feel that as long as you wear your armor and take your subordinates on horseback to the door of Fragrance Pavilion for a ride, and let Sister Chuntao see your majesty, she will definitely look at you differently!

These women, they don't just like pretty boys. If the unparalleled hero comes to them, pretty boys are nothing! Haven't you heard the story of beautiful women loving heroes? Which story have you heard of beautiful women loving pretty boys?

I feel that if you show your heroism, the whole Fangfei Pavilion might be eager to grab you when they see you, and Sister Chuntao won't even have a chance to get close to you!"

"Really? I look better in armor than those pretty boys!!" Han Baihu immediately became excited after hearing this. Fearing that Zhou Jin was fooling him, he hurriedly asked Zhou Po beside him. "Really?"

"I will wear golden armor in a hundred battles and will not return until I have conquered Loulan! Heroes who fight on the battlefield are naturally more handsome than those pretty boys!" Zhou Po said with a faint smile.

Once upon a time, he was also proud of himself for being elected as one of the top ten most handsome men in Kyoto, but after the baptism of his family being broken up, he now felt that it was just a list of stinky gigolos, and was deeply ashamed of his previous complacency!

"Hahaha," Zhou Po's words obviously convinced Captain Han, and he immediately ordered Zhou Jin, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell the brothers who followed us to pack up quickly. Let's ride horses to the Fragrance Pavilion and "pass by" it. Hahaha..."

After saying that, he happily put on his armor!

Zhou Po then stepped forward and said to Zhou Jin, who seemed to be smiling:

"What do you want to do?"

"Haha, it's nothing. I'm just bored and want to go for a walk in Baili Town..." Zhou Jin replied.

It’s just that the road to Baili Town is the only way for those Tartars to pass!

………

Half an hour later, when Captain Han's group of fifty or so encountered a group of forty or so Tartar cavalrymen laden with food and supplies, Captain Han's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot that he was going to Fangfei Pavilion...

Why the hell are we going to Fangfei Pavilion?!

After he kills these Tartars, achieves military merit, and receives a reward, why the hell is he still visiting the Fangfei Pavilion? He should just quickly marry a plump, white wife and give him a big, fat boy! !

"Brothers! All this training has not been in vain. It's time to test you! These Tartars are God's gift to you for training!

Listen to my orders! All teams, follow the formations you practice in training and charge forward with me!!!"

Captain Han ordered loudly.

"Yes!" The veterans in the team immediately responded excitedly. Although the new recruits were a little scared because they were facing the enemy for the first time, Captain Han always let four or five veterans train with one or two new recruits in every training session. Although the new recruits were beaten by the veterans at that time, now everyone was protected by one or two veterans, and everyone felt safer. Listening to the veterans shouting,

"New recruits! Don't be afraid, follow us!"

He gritted his teeth and rushed forward!

In close combat, bows and arrows, war horses and the like are naturally of no use. Even cavalrymen basically fight on foot, relying on close combat where every blow is made with a sword.

At this time, the team fighting style of Han Baihu's side came into play. The so-called team fighting style was actually an enhanced version of Zhou Jin's fight with 18 teenagers against bandits. Three people formed a team, and one who was good at using □□ and two who were good at using daggers formed a team. No matter how many people were on the other side, three of them would attack together, and they would fight one after another!

This method was naturally useless against an enemy significantly outnumbered, but it was incredibly effective against a similarly outnumbered and exhausted Tartar squad! Combined with Zhou Jin's teachings of close combat techniques from his previous life as a special forces soldier, the outcome of this battle was predictable: Captain Han's side achieved a decisive victory, with only five casualties and no fatalities.

Later, when Captain Han was leading the others to clean up the battlefield and collect supplies, a group of fifty or so Tartars appeared in their sight. Captain Han couldn't help but burst into laughter.

What the hell is this auspicious day today! It's a perfect day to go out! Hahaha!

Zhou Jin was looking for the bearded leader his sister mentioned in the Tartar army! He thought to himself, why can't he find him?

Now, when he saw another group of Tartar cavalry rushing over, with the leader obviously having a big beard... he also smiled...

So this guy who chased his sister across half a mountain and finally forced his sister and Chang Sanlang into the space, his mother is here! !

As soon as Captain Han gave the order to attack, Zhou Jin took the lead and rushed towards his target with murderous intent!

Han Baihu was left standing there in astonishment...

Shouldn't this guy be protecting him? Why is he rushing in more aggressively than him?!

But seeing Zhou Jin rushing forward, he also hurriedly led Zhou Dai to charge forward!

The Tartar leader was not a weakling either. Although he didn't understand why the Han guy rushed towards him as soon as he saw him, he thought, "Who cares? He's just a little kid, not as good as a fat sheep. Just kill him!"

So he didn't dismount, but just sat there calmly waiting for Zhou Jin's arrival...

When Zhou Jin got close, he didn't use any extra moves, as he didn't know any of them. He just held the long sword in his hand and slashed at the Tartar fiercely!

This long sword was made after Zhou Yu sold the alcohol recipe for five hundred taels. Zheng asked Zhou Zemao to bring two hundred taels to Zhou Jin, and Zhou Jin used one hundred taels of the money to make this sword!

Because the knife was extremely heavy, weighing more than 20 kilograms, Zhou Jin would get tired after using it for a while with his strength at that time. So Zhou Jin insisted on practicing it more than ten to twenty times every day. After more than a month, he was finally able to use it smoothly!

Today, because he had to deal with the Tartars, Zhou Jin brought this knife with him.

When the bearded Tartar saw Zhou Jin coming, he quickly drew out his scimitar and tried to block him.

Although he did not take the young man in front of him seriously, he also knew the consequences of underestimating the enemy on the battlefield, so he also used all his strength. Taking advantage of the high ground, he thought that he could chop the Han boy into pieces in just two moves.

However, he didn't expect that when the two swords collided, an oppressive force came over him, which made his palms numb and he almost threw the scimitar in his hand away!

This guy has so much strength! The bearded Tartar was shocked.

Zhou Jin's palms were actually a little numb, but he didn't show it. Instead, he acted like a killer, slashing at the Tartar one after another, trying to overpower him with his momentum.

The Tartar lost the initiative in the first move. When Zhou Jin chopped down the second and third swords, he could only block them and had no power to fight back!

Moreover, he, who believed that he had fought countless enemies, was actually helpless against the strange moves of the boy in front of him. He even felt that the boy's moves were more unrestrained than his, a grassland man. It seemed that this boy's moves were a kind of fighting style he had practiced through countless battles with enemies. He could fight however he wanted!

This gave the bearded Tartar a headache, because you never know where he will attack you next. After a few moves, his horse was killed by this guy, and he was forced to dismount...

At this point, the bearded Tartar, who had just been confident of victory, had actually become cowardly. He quickly retreated while his subordinates rushed forward to protect him, and mounted one of his subordinates' warhorses, thinking of escaping first...

It’s really strange, today is so weird!

They had clearly done a good job of reconnaissance before coming. Although there were military camps of Dayan nearby, the nearest one was dozens of miles away from where they were foraging. Moreover, they had done a good job of reconnaissance before coming. There was no movement in those military camps. Only then did he feel at ease to bring his men here to rob and run away.

As a result, not only did he encounter a stinky girl who killed his son, but when he led his men to surround the stinky girl and planned to kill her to avenge his son, the girl and her companions suddenly disappeared into the bushes. They were so scared that they thought they had encountered a monster, and they didn't care about the grass anymore and wanted to go back immediately.

As a result, on the way back, they encountered another group of fully armed Dayan soldiers, and it was obvious that their other team had been killed by this group!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The bearded Tartar really thought he was going to be much more dangerous today, and hurriedly ordered his men to protect him and evacuate first. But Captain Han would never let him get away. Seeing that he was trying to escape, he used his gun to pick up the Tartar who was fighting with him, and then led his men to surround him...

While Han Baihu and his men were besieging the bearded Tartar's subordinates, Zhou Jin started chasing the bearded Tartar and beating him fiercely. After a quarter of an hour, he finally took advantage of the Tartar's unpreparedness and killed him...

Seeing that their chief general was dead, the Tartars lost all desire to fight. In addition, they were frightened by the sudden disappearance of Zhou Yu and Zhu Xi. It didn't take long for them to be completely wiped out by Han Baihu's troops!

This time, more than ten of Han Baihu's men were injured and three new recruits died.

However, this was not a big deal for the veteran soldiers. Except for the new recruits, the other veterans mourned their dead comrades for a while, and then immediately started cleaning up the battlefield excitedly.

After each battle, in addition to the large items of food and supplies, jade and jewelry that had to be handed over, they would always keep some small amounts of silver and copper coins for themselves. Captain Han always turned a blind eye to these things, so the veterans were so active...

After all, there have been too few battles in recent years, and they don't have many opportunities to make a fortune...

One of the veterans, while searching the bearded Tartar, discovered a gold medal. He naturally didn't dare keep it for himself, so he quickly handed it to Captain Han...

:

Zhou Po, who was standing next to Captain Han, saw the sign and his eyes narrowed. He immediately took it and looked at it carefully...

"Why, you know Tartar characters?" Han Baihu was surprised, but he was even more surprised when Zhou Po said:

"Congratulations, Captain! The Tartar that Zhou Jin just killed is the younger brother of the current Tartar King, the King of the Western Courtyard of Tartar! He's a big fat sheep!"

"groove!!!"

Han Baihu felt that all his luck over the years might have been concentrated on this day, that’s why he was so unlucky before and so lucky today!!!

Hahahaha, if this gets reported, he'll at least get promoted a level! He'll immediately find a wife, hahahaha!!!

"Brothers! Hurry and pack up! When we get back, we'll buy some wine and eat some meat to celebrate properly...!! Wahahahaha!"

Han Baihu was so happy that he couldn't help himself...

The author has something to say:

The big brother finally showed up! ! He shouted: Everyone, I am the real male lead! !
