Zhao Muyun shouted several times before he finally stopped Wang Tiezhu from running wildly.
Wang Tiezhu was panting heavily, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Muyun covered in blood and standing in the grass with murderous intent.
The north wind blew up his hair and sleeves, making him look particularly heroic and elegant.
The three Tartars had already disappeared.
Wang Tiezhu asked urgently:
"Brother Zhao, what about those three Tartars?"
“Dead!”
Wang Tiezhu walked over doubtfully, carefully checked, and after confirming that the three Tartars were dead, he exclaimed:
"Brother Zhao, did you kill them all?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Muyun responded indifferently.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable that you could kill three leather-armored Tartars all by yourself! I, Wang Tiezhu, have truly been enlightened today!"
Wang Tiezhu's face was filled with expressions of shock, admiration, and worship.
"It was just luck! Zhuzi, without your cooperation, I wouldn't have been able to kill them so easily!"
Zhao Muyun waved his hand, "You'll get one of the heads of these three leather-armored Tartars!"
What!
Wang Tiezhu suddenly trembled all over.
The head of a leather-armored Tartar not only earns him a reward of five taels of silver, but also allows him to accumulate military merit.
If you accumulate five kills, you can be promoted to squad leader.
It was obvious that these three Tartars were killed by Zhao Muyun alone, while Wang Tiezhu just ran away without looking back.
Although Zhao Muyun was suspected of using him as bait, in the situation just now, Wang Tiezhu would only die if he didn't run away.
Now that the three Tartars were killed, Wang Tiezhu was able to escape death, all thanks to Zhao Muyun.
But what Wang Tiezhu didn't expect was that Zhao Muyun was so generous as to give him a head as military merit. How could he not be excited?
You should know that except for the scout Tang Yanhai who once killed a leather-armored Tartar, none of the veterans at the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower had ever killed a Tartar.
Even Zhang Biao was able to become a squad leader thanks to his connections with the captain of the Jingbian military town.
However, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Zhao, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be dead. I'd rather not take this head!"
Wang Tiezhu's frankness and honesty are rare and precious.
"Zhuzi, we are now brothers who share life and death. We share happiness and hardship together! Whatever I have, I will definitely give you a share!" Zhao Muyun smiled and looked at Wang Tiezhu. "In the future, we brothers will kill the enemy together, earn merit, and get the reward to marry a wife."
"Brother Zhao, thank you! I, Wang Tiezhu, will follow your lead. If you need me, I will go through fire and water for you."
Seeing Zhao Muyun's firm words, Wang Tiezhu no longer refused.
However, he secretly made up his mind to stand together with Zhao Muyun from now on and repay him with his death.
Zhao Muyun was also delighted that he had not expected that the military merit of saving a Tartar head would make Wang Tiezhu so devoted to him.
"Alright, we don't know if there will be more Tartars coming, let's clean up quickly and get out of here!"
If it was just a single Tartar cavalryman, Zhao Muyun would not have cared at all.
But these three Tatars were not riding horses, which meant that there were a large number of Tatar troops nearby.
If you stay here any longer, you will definitely attract them.
That would be like stirring up a hornet's nest, and Zhao Muyun didn't want to get himself involved.
"good!"
The two men quickly stripped off the leather armor of the three Tartars and confiscated their scimitars.
Then he cut off their heads, tore off a large piece of cloth to wrap them, and hung them on spears.
The first time Wang Tiezhu cut off a head, he didn't dare to do it, but Zhao Muyun swung the knife and chopped it off without frowning, which naturally earned Wang Tiezhu's great admiration.
The two of them quickly packed up and walked quickly along the Zishui River Valley towards the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower.
As for the three naked, headless Tartar corpses, they were thrown carelessly into the grass.
......
Half an hour later, a group of vultures circled in the sky, and then two wild dogs came out after smelling the blood.
Dededede!
Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats.
Dozens of armored Tatars appeared not far away.
When they saw vultures and wild dogs roaming around, they stopped immediately.
At a shout, the Tatar cavalry scattered, drew their bows and arrows, as if facing a powerful enemy.
Immediately, four armored Tartars from the Northern Di dismounted and searched in the bushes with scimitars in hand.
"Captain, the three missing soldiers have been found!"
"It looks like he was killed by a patrolling soldier from Dayin!"
Cutting off heads, stripping off clothes and armor, and taking away weapons are things that only the Dayin soldiers who are eager for military merit would do. This is a fact that the Northern Di Tartars themselves know.
A bearded Northern Di Tartar leader with a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets and wearing silver armor rode his horse and galloped over from behind upon hearing the sound.
ah!
When he saw three headless corpses torn into pieces by vultures and wild dogs, he roared angrily and suddenly drew his sword to chop at the boundary marker of the buffer zone agreed upon by Dayin and Beidi.
Sparks flew, debris flew everywhere, and a white mark was left on the boundary marker.
The silver-armored Tartar's arms were numb from the shock, and his face looked even more gloomy and terrifying.
"In the past year, we have been the only ones to kill Dayin's soldiers. Our soldiers have never been killed by Dayin!"
"Return to the camp and gather the troops. I will make them pay double the price!"
......
The setting sun is blood-red.
The shadows of Zhao Muyun and Wang Tiezhu became longer and longer, appearing particularly tall.
The shadows of the two men were cast on the mottled brick wall of the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower, and the heads wrapped in cloth on the spears swayed along with them, like three round and huge watermelons.
