It's like throwing a stone into a stagnant pond, which creates a large splash, but then quickly returns to calm as the waves dissipate.
The patrol and killing of the enemy by the new recruits Zhao Muyun and Wang Tiezhu was lively for a while at the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower, but then it died down.
The beacon tower also returned to normal operations.
Those who should stand guard should stand guard, and those who should work should work!
Squad leaders Zhang Biao and Han Zhong left the beacon tower with the Tartar heads and spoils and went to Jingbian Military Town to report their achievements.
It takes at least a day to go there and back.
Without the two of them, the Dun Army can hardly relax!
However, the hurried return of scout Tang Yanhai quickly broke this relaxation.
Since Zhao Muyun and his companions encountered the Tartars near the boundary marker of the buffer zone ten miles away, Tang Yanhai only dared to go out of the beacon tower to scout within a range of less than four or five miles.
"There's been a lot of smoke and dust rising from the north. It seems there's a large group of Northern Di Tartars operating near the boundary marker!"
Tang Yanhai's face was filled with panic. After riding into the beacon tower, he jumped off his horse and warned the surrounding Dunjun troops, "They might suddenly charge down to the beacon tower. Everyone, stay inside the tower for the time being. It's best not to go out!"
"Could it be that Zhao Muyun and the others killed three Tartars, which attracted more Tartars?"
Someone nearby murmured.
Tang Yanhai heard this and immediately rolled his eyes at the man: "Given the current situation, there may be a big war to be fought. It has nothing to do with Brother Zhao!"
Tang Yanhai was quite impressed by the fact that Zhao Muyun and his two new recruits could kill the enemy.
"There really is going to be a war! There will be deaths! I don't know if anyone can survive."
The others grumbled for a while, then dispersed in a state of anxiety.
After being used to a peaceful life, how many people really want to fight?
Tang Yanhai walked over to Zhao Muyun and asked quietly, "Brother Zhao, did Zhang Tou ask you to share the profits?"
"He did tell me about it, but I didn't agree!" Zhao Muyun said lightly.
Tang Yanhai looked at Zhao Muyun in surprise. "Ah, why are you so stupid? Zhang Biao is a shrewd fellow. If you don't share the profits, he will take everything from you!"
"He shouldn't dare!" Zhao Muyun said calmly.
"What else is there for him to do? Back then, my military achievements as a Tartar were rewarded with only two taels of silver!"
When Tang Yanhai mentioned this, his face showed some anger and helplessness.
"So he also blackmailed your military achievements?"
"After all, he's our immediate superior and the Captain's trusted confidant!"
Tang Yanhai shook his head and sighed, "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head! I should have warned you earlier!"
"It's okay. Zhangtou will report the military achievements of Zhuzi and me!" Zhao Muyun said seriously.
"I hope so!"
Tang Yanhai patted Zhao Muyun on the shoulder to express his sympathy.
He really couldn't bear to shatter Zhao Muyun's beautiful expectations now.
"Look! A group of people are crossing the Purple Water River and heading to Black Camel Mountain!"
At this moment, Wang Tiezhu, who was standing guard on the beacon tower, shouted!
Zhao Muyun and Tang Yanhai looked at each other, walked quickly to Wang Tiezhu, and looked in the direction he pointed. They saw about ten people on horseback appearing at the foot of the mountain on the west side of Zishui River!
"Don't these people want to die?" Tang Yanhai squinted his eyes and looked for a while, muttering.
"Brother Tang, do you know who they are?"
"It's too far away to see clearly! But they should be coming from the direction of our military town, and it looks like they are going to enter Black Camel Mountain!"
"Going into the mountains?" Zhao Muyun frowned. "Are you going to survey the terrain?"
For three months, Zhao Muyun secretly resumed his special forces training at night, and observed the terrain around the beacon tower while on guard duty during the day.
This was the homework I had to do every time I arrived at a new place as an elite special forces captain in my previous life.
Naturally, he had also carefully observed the terrain of Black Camel Mountain.
This mountain range stretches for hundreds of miles across the border. The mountains are towering and the average altitude is estimated to be above 1,500 meters.
Its main peak can be seen with the naked eye. It stands out and is more than half a head higher than the surrounding mountains. It is at least two thousand meters high.
Standing on the main peak, you have a broad view. If you have a Barrett sniper rifle, you can kill anyone you want in seconds.
But now, this group of people coming from Jingbian Military Town went into the mountains, naturally not to look for a sniper point.
Then their purpose should be to survey the terrain.
And those who do such things are definitely not the concern of officers at the Jingbian Military Town level.
Considering that Tang Yanhai said there might be a big battle soon, this group of people is likely to be military generals and staff at the level of Shuozhou Prefecture or even Hedong Road, who came to the scene in person to observe the terrain.
"You know this? Boy, you seem to know a lot!"
Tang Yanhai looked at Zhao Muyun in surprise. Only people who had served as scouts or stayed in a state-level military command post would know such things.
Zhao Muyun was a new recruit who had only been in the army for three months.
"It looks like there's really going to be a big battle!"
Zhao Muyun squinted his eyes and vaguely saw the group of people enter the mountain and disappear into the vastness.
It’s good to fight a big battle, it makes it easier to kill the enemy and gain merit!
Zhao Muyun seemed to see countless Tartar heads waving at him, including Tartars in silver armor and Tartars in gold armor!
"You seem eager to fight, don't you? If a war really breaks out, it'll be brutal! We, the little soldiers, are just numbers in the casualty list of those generals and captains!"
Tang Yanhai saw it very clearly.
"In that case, then we won't be soldiers, but generals and lieutenants!"
Zhao Muyun stared into the distance with a firm look in his eyes.
