With the serious annexation of land and frequent wars, more and more farmers have no land to cultivate, so they can only develop mountains and forests. (The Ming Dynasty encouraged the people to reclaim the land, and the cultivated land was their own and protected by law)

The forest vegetation is decreasing, the habitat of wild animals is being destroyed, and more and more beasts are homeless and gradually appearing in front of people.

Not only the land of Liaodong, where there are many tigers, but also the southeast region also frequently appears tigers, and a total of 514 tigers appeared in this area in the Ming and Qing dynasties in front of the world.

There are also frequent tigers in the Nanzhili and Huguang areas, and tigers often hurt people**, and when the situation is serious, it is even necessary for the imperial court to send troops to deal with it.

The Siberian tiger in front of Zhu Cihong is tall and mighty, with a body length of more than three meters and a gorgeous coat like yellow satin.

The Siberian tiger is suspicious by nature, agile and impermanent in the jungle, and it is difficult for ordinary people to witness the Siberian tiger in the wild, but this one seems to be very confident, and actually roars at everyone with bared teeth.

Zhu Youneng took a fighting posture and said solemnly: "Master, this tiger is fierce and abnormal, you retreat to a safe place and let the minions deal with him!" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Okay, you be more careful!" ”

With firearms in hand, Zhu Cihong was not afraid of this tiger at all, he mainly wanted to see how Nurhachi's son fought with fierce beasts and slid and shoveled the Siberian tiger.

"Protect your master!"

Zhu Youneng shouted, and slowly walked towards the huge colorful tiger with an eighty-pound hard bow.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Zhu Youneng bent his bow and arrows, acted quickly, shot three arrows in a row in an instant, moved while shooting, and his movements were smooth and smooth, all in one go.

Zhu Cihong nodded secretly, the standard of cavalry archery in the Eight Banners Army is to be able to shoot an eighty-pound war bow, Zhu Youneng, as Nurhachi's son, has practiced riding and archery since he was a child, and worked for his brothers, and he can shoot a few arrows in a row, so it is naturally not a problem.

When he raised his bow, the tiger knew that he was not coming well, and quickly jumped into position, calmly avoiding two arrows, but still hit one.

The enraged tiger roared angrily, its two front legs fell down, and the tiger's tail rose high, and it rushed over and crashed into Zhu Youneng.

The speed of the tiger is extremely fast, and he does not play the old trick of sneaking around the back, and directly chooses the front gang.

A standard tiger descends the mountain, the thick claws of the Siberian tiger grabs Zhu Youneng, the tiger's claws are extremely powerful, if it is pounced, the consequences can be imagined.

But who is Zhu Youneng? When Daddy Nurhachi was not yet developed, Zhu Youneng was a young man who was in the deep mountains and old forests of the northeast and grabbed food with wild beasts.

Zhu Youneng flexibly changed his pace and perfectly avoided the tiger's lore with a beautiful dodge.

"Good!"

The Imperial Forest Army immediately burst into applause, and even Zhu Cihong looked at Zhu Youneng differently.

Under the praise, there is no void soldier, and with this cheering, Zhu Youneng's confidence skyrocketed, and he shouted angrily, and even dropped his war bow and took the initiative to pounce on the Siberian Tiger, and launched a thrilling man-tiger fight with his bare hands.

After a fierce duel, Zhu Youneng did not fall behind, and gradually came up, wanting to hold the tiger's head to lock his throat......

However, the Siberian tiger also has a certain amount of intelligence, knows how to find the weaknesses of its prey, and his lateral movement steps are very rhythmic, and his mouth makes a low whining sound from time to time.

Finally, the Siberian Tiger swam to the side of Zhu Youneng's left hand, and suddenly jumped over, and under the strong force, with a fishy smell in his mouth, he pounced on Zhu Youneng again.

Under the ever-expanding shadow, seeing that the tiger's claws were about to fall on Zhu Youneng, in extreme danger, Zhu Youneng suddenly twisted his waist, and his body suddenly went all the way, making an unbelievably difficult action!

He actually slipped and shoveled past the Siberian tiger that pounced!

Almost a slight distance, Zhu Youneng perfectly dodged the claws of the Siberian tiger, reflexively hugged the huge tiger head from the side, and took advantage of the tiger's landing to the ground, and counterattacked on its back.

Zhu Youneng hugged the neck of the Siberian tiger with one hand, saw the opportunity, and smashed the tiger's nose with his fist with the other hand.

The nose of most of these animals is weak, just listen to a muffled bang, the Siberian tiger was obviously a little dazed by the blow, Zhu Youneng took the opportunity to hold the soft tiger neck with both arms, grabbed each other's arms with both hands, and then tightened it fiercely!

The tiger opened its bloody mouth, turned its head and bit it, and the fishy fangs were about to stick to Zhu Youneng's neck, but Zhu Youneng clinged to its back and didn't bite it after all.

"Drink!"

Zhu Youneng's face was hideous, he let out a low roar, and used all his strength, the muscles exposed at the collar of his armor bulged, the muscle lines were like pig iron casting, and his powerful arms strangled the neck of the Siberian tiger.

The Siberian tiger struggled desperately, its back kept twisting, its claws fluttering, and it made deep marks on Zhu Youneng's leather armor.

At this time, Xu Sheng, who heard the tiger's roar, hurried over, and was obviously stunned when he saw this situation, and exclaimed: "! ”

Xu Sheng, who reacted, rubbed his hands, eager to try, and wanted to go up and give it a hand.

However, the safety of the Son of Heaven was the most important, and he finally gave up the idea of fighting the tiger.

However, Xu Sheng was curious, everyone had muskets, why didn't everyone shoot and kill this tiger directly? Zhu Youneng gradually gained the upper hand, why didn't he pull out the blade on his leggings and stab the tiger to death?

Everybody's playing, isn't it?

Seeing that Zhu Youneng, who had the upper hand, did not kill for a long time, Zhu Cihong smiled, he already understood that this guy wanted to make his own move!

Zhu Cihong took out his handcuff, took a few steps forward, and shot at the tiger's big head.

After receiving a fatal blow, the tiger gradually lost its strength, and Zhu Youneng turned over and rode under him, pulled out the sharp blade on his leggings and stabbed several key parts a few times, completely taking away the tiger who was powerless to resist.

Tiger blood was all over the ground, Zhu Youneng took a long breath, dragged his tired body to Zhu Cihong, and shouted on the ground: "The master is a real dragon, powerful and invincible, and he killed this tiger with one blow, it is really an emperor through the ages, shocking the ancient and modern!" ”

Zhu Cihong snorted as if he had something to do, nodded, and said, "You are not bad, good!" ”

Zhu Youneng kowtowed a few times in a row, and shouted solemnly: "This is the credit of the master, and the slave does not dare to invite credit!" ”

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said, "Zhu Youneng, Guan Jin fought twice, and you have almost lost the Yellow Banner." ”

"If you go back to the master, there are still about 300 people left, the master can rest assured, even if there is only one slave left in the flag, the slave will give up his life and kill the enemy for you!"

Zhu Cihong liked Zhu Youneng's eyesight more and more, and after thinking for a while, he spoke: "Well, the loyalty is commendable, the newly formed 20,000 guilty army will be handed over to you, this time to go west to Mongolia, you will be the general of the middle lane, eradicate the Zhaowuda League, and take the city of Manihan in the Ao Han Department!" ”

Zhu Youneng's heart was sour, a string of tears flowed down his cheeks, he kowtowed a few times again, and shouted: "The slave thanks the master Longen!" will live up to the high expectations of the master! ”

Zhu Cihong turned over on the horse, gently whipped the horsewhip, and said, "Okay! Let's go back to the camp, cross the Guanshan and divide the troops according to the battle plan! ”

Outside the fortress is often thousands of miles uninhabited, the grassland is vast, the desert Gobi, it is not easy to find grain and grass, the war in Liaodong has just been settled, and the eastern capital of the Protectorate has just been established, and the supply line can only last two or three hundred miles, and it will have to rely on the dry food brought by the army to maintain it in the future.

Outside the expedition, there is no continuous supply in the Guan, and the food of the army can only last for half a month, and if the grain and grass cannot be helped, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong only led the cavalry to attack the most distant Zhelimu League, and the Longwu Army and the Imperial Forest Army were each equipped with two horses, one horse to fight, and the other horse to prepare dry food for the army.

One or two hundred miles to the north of this place is the Horqin Left Wing Rear Banner, five hundred miles to the north is the Horqin Left Wing Middle Banner, thousands of miles away is the Horqin Right Wing Banner, and there are large and small tribes of the Zhelimu League along the way, which can take a wave of supplies.

Most of the sin army led by Zhou Xingyao and Zhu Youneng is an infantry army, and the two divisions will divide their troops here, one north and one west, and the sin army will attack the nearest Ao Han Department and other Zhaowuda League in the west, directly occupying their lair, allowing them to eat and shelter, and reducing logistical pressure.
