After several days of physical training, Zhao Muyun adjusted the training programs of Tang Yanhai and Wang Tiezhu.
After all, they were both assigned as scouts and to serve as the eyes and ears of the beacon tower.
Therefore, Tang Yanhai and his companions conducted physical training with everyone in the morning, and started scouting-related training activities in the afternoon.
Zhao Muyun promoted Tang Yanhai to sergeant and asked him to take Wang Tiezhu with him, hoping that he could train Wang Tiezhu into a qualified scout.
In addition to imparting the key points of experience to Wang Tiezhu, Tang Yanhai also took Wang Tiezhu out for field teaching.
The Black Camel Mountain to the west of the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower naturally became the training ground for Tang Yanhai to teach Wang Tiezhu scouting skills.
"What did you find? Could it be the body of the Tartar we killed last time?"
Zhao Muyun didn't even raise his head, but pulled the bowstring of the compound bow in vain to test the strength.
"There's no corpse!"
Tang Yanhai said, "Just to the west of where we fought the Tartars last time, in a valley, we found a wild boar!"
"Old Tang, you're bringing Zhuzi to teach him scouting skills, not to chase wild boars!"
Zhao Muyun frowned slightly.
"Brother Zhao, you misunderstood!"
Wang Tiezhu hurriedly explained, "Brother Tang and I want to get some back for everyone to use as food reserves!"
"Look at this new kid, Little Stone. He eats so much! I'm really worried he'll eat us all up one day."
Zhao Muyun was stunned. He glanced at the two of them and said, "Since you're so determined, why don't you just catch the wild boar and bring it back? Why are you empty-handed?"
"I just don't have the ability! I'd like to ask you for help!" Wang Tiezhu said with a greedy look.
"No, Zhuzi, you are so accurate at throwing stones, but you can't hit a wild boar? I remember you were with me at that time, smashing the Tartars' heads with stones until they were bleeding!" Zhao Muyun looked surprised.
"Boss Zhao, it's like this. The stone from the pillar did hit the wild boar many times, but the wild boar's skin was rough and its flesh was tough, so it couldn't be killed and it ran away!"
Tang Yanhai said, "And I didn't bring a crossbow."
All the bows and crossbows on the beacon tower were dismantled by Zhao Muyun, and Tang Yanhai had bows and crossbows to use.
"Alright! I just want to test the power of this bow. I'll go with you!"
Zhao Muyun's mind moved.
......
After giving instructions to Han Zhong and others, Zhao Muyun took Tang Yanhai and Wang Tiezhu out of the beacon tower.
I'm already familiar with this road after traveling back and forth on it every day with loaded loads.
Along the way, Zhao Muyun shared some of his experience in reconnaissance and spying with the two of them, which greatly benefited them.
In less than a moment, they arrived at the foot of Black Camel Mountain. The battle half a month ago was still vivid in their minds.
The three of them sighed deeply, regretting that the Tartars had taken all the heads away without leaving even a single one or two.
"Boss Zhao, the valley where the wild boar appeared is on the other side of Lotus Leaf Peak."
After walking a distance along the mountain road, Tang Yanhai pointed ahead and said.
It was winter, the trees were withered, and the view was wide. Following the direction pointed by Tang Yanhai, Zhao Muyun saw the valley at a glance:
"Let's go, there might be more than one wild boar!"
Wang Tiezhu laughed heartily: "Haha, if we had a few more, we wouldn't have to worry about having no meat to eat all winter!"
"It takes a lot of salt to pickle so many pigs!"
Tang Yanhai's eyes lit up. "And those offal won't last long. It would be a shame if we can't finish them!"
"With that hungry ghost Shi Yong here, are you still worried that you won't be able to finish the food?" Wang Tiezhu continued.
"You two, you haven't caught the wild boar yet, but you're already thinking about how to eat it!"
Zhao Muyun was speechless.
For the soldiers at the beacon tower, the days without war at the border are dull and plain.
"Hey, with Zhao Tou's sharpshooting skills, taking down the wild boar is no problem. Brother Tang and I have prepared the wooden sticks and vines, waiting to carry it!"
The three of them were talking and laughing. After they crossed a ridge, the valley that Tang Yanhai and the others had mentioned appeared before their eyes.
There are steep cliffs on both sides.
In the valley, the wind was howling, and from time to time there were rustling sounds.
If you come alone, you might feel creepy and scared.
"Brother Zhao, look, it's that beast!"
The three of them looked around and when they were halfway down the hillside, Wang Tiezhu, with his sharp eyes, saw a black thing moving in the grass in the valley.
"Old Tang, you on the left, Zhuzi, you on the right, and I'll be in the middle. Let's surround them from three sides!"
"After I shoot, you will immediately surround him."
Zhao Muyun then saw where the wild boar was.
It's quite big, dark all over, and weighs at least 100 pounds.
He immediately gave orders to the two men, then took out his compound bow, put an arrow on the string, and crouched down to approach.
The wild boar was still happily digging in the mud, making a gurgling sound from its mouth, which was particularly obvious in the valley.
For Zhao Muyun, who had undergone extreme survival training in various extreme environments such as deserted islands, deserts, and rainforests in his previous life, hunting was the most basic skill.
The wild boar's call at this time usually indicates that it is in a relaxed or satisfied state.
Apparently, it had long forgotten that Wang Tiezhu had hit it with a stone a few hours ago.
Zhao Muyun tiptoed and gradually approached.
He was estimating the range, one hundred and fifty steps!
This distance is already far beyond the range of a compound bow.
Although this composite bow is much stronger than the last one, the wild boar skin is harder than the Tartar's leather armor.
While Zhao Muyun was testing the power of the bow and arrow, he also wanted to kill with one strike.
If he missed, he would lose face in front of his two subordinates who revered him like a god.
