He explained the situation to Tang Yanhai and Han Zhong.
While training, you must not let your guard down and be careful of sneak attacks from the Tartars.
"Boss Zhao, don't worry! We're here in Yanqingdun, nothing will happen!"
"Be sure to remember to ask when our military rewards will be issued!"
Last time at the foot of Black Camel Mountain, Tang Yanhai and Xiaowu burned the horse's tail and charged at the enemy, and captured twenty war horses. They were also looking forward to being rewarded!
Moreover, the twenty Mobei war horses were all handed over to Shuozhou Prefecture, and the Yanqingdun and Jingbian troops did not keep a single one.
"I'm worried about this! You guys train well, I'll come back to check!"
Zhao Muyun nodded, rode on Tang Yanhai’s only warhorse at the beacon tower, and turned to leave.
In the bag on the horse's back were ten taels of silver and a rough, bloody three-edged thorn.
He planned to find the blacksmith in the military town to make ten of them according to his instructions!
If you want to be proficient in using this kind of close combat weapon, you have to practice diligently.
The common weapons of border troops were spears, daggers and long swords.
Things like triangular spikes are only seen as personal martial arts bonuses for officers.
Even if Zhong Dahu and other military officers saw it, they would not care.
But the compound bow he rubbed by hand was different.
Out of his own selfish motives, Zhao Muyun doesn't want Zhong Dahu to know for the time being!
Who knows whether Zhong Dahu will plagiarize it and claim it as his own.
Zhao Muyun planned to use it as the beacon tower's trump card and let his own people use it first.
In the future, when I meet the official who gave me the sword, or other general with vision, I will present it to you.
This time I went to the military town to find Zhong Dahu and ask for more bows so that I can modify them myself!
The horse is so fast!
Zhao Muyun mastered horse riding skills in his previous life, and since this body grew up in the frontier, he also knows how to ride a horse to some extent.
In less than two hours, Zhao Muyun arrived at Jingbian Military Town.
After joining the army, Zhao Muyun trained here for a while and is quite familiar with this place.
After showing his badge and announcing his identity, Zhao Muyun led his horse into the military town.
After passing through the city gate, which is more than ten feet long, what comes into view is a dirt road paved with rammed yellow earth.
On both sides are some dilapidated and low earthen houses.
There are narrow alleys between the houses.
Deep in the alley, there is the sound of blacksmithing!
Scattered soldiers were moving around. When Zhao Muyun appeared, they just glanced at him and then went about their own business.
Occasionally, a few cavalrymen would gallop past on horseback, shouting loudly.
Zhao Muyun hurriedly pulled his horse to avoid being frightened.
A gust of wind blew, and the loess mixed with grass debris swirled in the wind.
The strong smell of horse manure in the air is nauseating.
At the end of the dirt road is the largest house in the fort, which is also the commander-in-chief of Zhao Dahu, a centurion of Jingbian Military Town.
In front of the house is a square the size of a basketball court.
On one side stood a large black flag, fluttering in the wind.
There are two weapon racks on the other side, with knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hatchets, forks and other weapons inserted on them.
Zhao Muyun tied his warhorse to the hitching post in front of the house, straightened his leather armor, and strode up the stairs.
"Sir, Sergeant Zhao from Yanqingdun is here!"
"Oh! Brother Zhao, what a coincidence! I was just about to send someone to Yanqingdun to ask you to come over, but I didn't expect you to be here first! Come in quickly!"
As soon as the guard at the commander's door reported, Zhong Dahu's voice was heard inside.
Then, a figure came to the door and pulled Zhao Muyun inside.
"How's it going? Are you used to being a squad leader? Have your subordinates caused you any trouble? Have the Tartars been harassing you lately?"
Before Zhao Muyun could speak, Zhong Dahu started to ask about his well-being.
"There have been no traces of the Tartars in recent days. All of us at Yanqingdun are training day and night, and we dare not slack off."
Zhao Muyun said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Very good! I told you that you will have no problem being a squad leader! Come, sit down and talk!" Zhong Dahu greeted warmly.
"Thank you, sir!"
After Zhao Muyun sat down, he asked, "Master Zhong, you just said you would send someone to the beacon tower to call me. What is your errand?"
"Nothing special!"
Zhong Dahu laughed heartily, "You and Wang Tiezhu have received your military merit and reward for killing and beheading three Tartars!"
As he spoke, he took out a scroll from the desk.
So fast!
Zhao Muyun thought that it must be the official who gave the sword as a gift who played a role.
He was paying attention to this matter, so Zhong Dahu and Yang Jian, the military commander of Shuozhou, certainly did not dare to neglect it and dealt with it urgently.
Zhao Mu's face darkened and he stood up.
"Military Order from Shuozhou Zhechongfu: Zhao Muyun, a soldier at the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower of the Jingbian Army, has been promoted to sergeant and awarded 20 taels of silver for beheading two people!"
"Wang Tiezhu, a soldier at the Beacon Tower, has taken down a level 1 head. He is commended for his merit and rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
"These two have made great contributions in killing the enemy. They should be set as an example for the three borders and commended to the entire army at Zhechongfu."
Zhao Muyun and Wang Tiezhu were rewarded double for their military merits in patrolling and beheading three Tartars.
Zhao Muyun had only beheaded two people, and it was difficult for him to be promoted to sergeant, but he was directly promoted to squad leader.
Therefore, many things here do not necessarily follow the rules.
After Zhong Dahu finished reading aloud, Zhao Muyun congratulated him:
"Congratulations, Brother Zhao! You are now officially appointed as the captain of the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower!"
"You and Wang Tiezhu will receive your reward later. Take my approval slip to the warehouse to collect it."
Zhao Muyun bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Master Zhong!"
"Haha, no way! I told you, if you've done something great, I'll just benefit from it!"
"Don't worry, I will be fair and just. I will never be like that bastard Zhang Biao who discredits his subordinates' military achievements."
