Although I don't know why Marin, the boss of the boss, knows that the West African black rhinoceros has a sensitive sense of smell, the people of the hunting team still tested the sense of smell of the West African black rhinoceros.

Marlin asked them to approach the black rhino at the downwind to avoid the smell being picked up by the black rhino in the wind. But Royce, the captain of the hunting team, still sent someone to try it, deliberately letting people ride their horses to approach from the upwind. Sure enough, at a distance of thirty or forty meters, the black rhinoceros suddenly raised its head in confusion and looked in the direction of the approaching rider. Of course, with the black rhinoceros's eyesight, it was impossible to see clearly, but this also frightened the rider, so frightened that he quickly turned his horse's head and fled for his life.

Black rhinos have a short temper, especially males, and may launch a tank charge if they smell something unusual. As a result, the local indigenous people are very afraid of the black rhinoceros. Those local indigenous guides did not dare to approach the black rhinoceros within 500 of them. Although they were assigned by the chief to lead the way for the hunting party, they generally refused to come any closer than 500 meters. After all, if a male black rhinoceros smells it, he may be hunted to death.

In general, black rhinos are used to living alone, and only female rhinos live with their young rhinos. Male black rhinos are only with female rhinos during the courtship period, and during the courtship period, male black rhinos tend to be extremely aggressive, and whoever does not like it is a tank charge, piercing or crushing the target. At this time, lions, leopards and other fierce beasts will also take a detour when they see male black rhinoceros. Only elephant herds dare to walk slowly through rhinoceros territory. Moreover, the black rhinoceros did not dare to blow up the thorns. Because, elephants are not only strong, but also herds. The rhinoceros is always fierce and does not dare to provoke a herd of elephants. Of course, the short-tempered black rhinoceros is not cowardly, and generally makes threats and puts on a posture of driving, but does not dare to rush up easily. After all, the elephant tonnage is there, and it's still a herd.

However, in the face of other species with small tonnage, the black rhinoceros is contemptuous. They dare to rush at the lions and drive away an entire herd of lions. As for the natives, not to mention, rushed directly to the top of the cattle......

Therefore, those indigenous black people of Senegal are very afraid of black rhinos and generally will never come within 500 meters of black rhinos. In other words, when you see a black rhinoceros from afar, you run away.

The territory of the black rhinoceros is very large, generally speaking, a male black rhinoceros occupies a huge territory of up to 10 square kilometers. As for how to identify a site? Black rhinos have special territory markings – they mark their territory by pooping. Some predators mark their territory by urinating, while the black rhinoceros, because they eat a lot and have a lot of dung, excretes up to eighty or ninety kilograms a day. So, the black rhino simply poops to draw the line. If anyone dares to step on the line, be careful of being blown by the horn of the black rhinoceros......

……

On this day, in the name of Eschwein, manager of the Senegalese Fur Company, 100 musketeers of the hunting party, led by the captain Royce, rode on Bobu horses, divided into more than a dozen groups, and groped dozens of black rhinoceros scattered throughout the Cape Verde Peninsula......

The Cape Verde Peninsula is just over 500 square kilometres, but there are 30 adult West African black rhinos, which take up most of the Cape Verde Peninsula. However, a few indigenous tribes on the road can only occupy a small part of the peninsula, and the living space is relatively small.

Therefore, the local indigenous people are also looking forward to the Senegalese fur company to hunt down the ferocious West African black rhinoceros, so as to free up more hunting ground for them.

In order to protect the rhinoceros skin from damage to the rhinoceros skin and affect the production of the armor, Royce strictly ordered that all musketeers must aim at the head of the West African black rhinoceros, and not hit the body. Moreover, if the bullet hits the body of the West African black rhinoceros, the rhinoceros skin is so thick, plus a thicker layer of fat, as long as it does not hit the heart and other parts, even if the steel ball is ingested into the body of the West African black rhinoceros, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries. Therefore, those steel ball bullets are best aimed at the head of the West African black rhinoceros. As long as you hit the head, you will definitely be able to kill the black rhinoceros, making it lose the ability to fight back in an instant. And if it is aimed at the body, once the steel ball is embedded in the rhinoceros fat layer, not only will it not kill the West African black rhino, but it will make the West African black rhinoceros fight back angrily......

……

Led by captains and guided by local tribal guides, they arrived at the rhinoceros territory on the Cape Verde Peninsula and prepared to hunt the rhinos. And those indigenous guides, generally 500 meters away from the black rhinoceros, just run away.

Royce led the first team and carefully walked around to the downwind where the rhinoceros was, and then slowly rode his horse closer......

About 30 meters away from the black rhino, Royce was just about to give the order to aim and shoot, when a horse suddenly opened its mouth and neighed......

"¥&%......" Royce was momentarily speechless. Seeing that the black rhinoceros looked up at this side suspiciously, Royce didn't say anything, and directly ordered:

"Withdraw!"

Then, the five musketeers of the first squad rode their horses and ran away......

Just as unlucky as Team Royce's team is, there's also the Tenth Squad. However, the captain of the tenth squad was timid and did not give the order to retreat, but gave the order to start aiming. However, the black rhinoceros didn't care about anything and began to charge...... The captain of the 10th squad panicked at this time, because it was difficult for the running rhinoceros to aim. So, he hurriedly asked the team members to retreat. Fortunately, the retreat was delayed, otherwise, someone would definitely have died.

After the first team retreated, Royce breathed a sigh of relief and complained:

"When is this horse barking badly, but when it is close to the black rhinoceros, isn't it looking for death?"

And his deputy advised:

"Why don't you put a hitch on the horse? Otherwise, the sudden cry of the horse will alarm the rhinoceros! ”

Royce nodded:

"It's okay, I'll get it next time!"

He didn't know that in ancient China, when the enemy army was attacked, he generally ordered "people to grass, horses to the grass", so as not to alarm the enemy.

However, when Marin attacked the enemy at night, he didn't get any horse bits, but equipped the war horse with a muzzle similar to the one that dogs in later generations wore when they went out, so that their mouths could not be opened. In this way, the dog or horse will not be able to open its mouth and neigh. But this time the Senegalese Fur Company hunting team, Marin forgot to equip them with this kind of halter. And Royce's deputy, who had previously participated in night raids, knew this. Royce also knows about this kind of halter, but he can't give up on going back now, right? So, he decided to finish this wave and talk about it......

So, the five people in the first group quietly touched the black rhinoceros 30 meters downwind again. This time, no horses neighed. Then, Royce whispered an order:

"Blowing the Burning Rope ......"

"Ready—"

"Aim—"

"Put-"

Then, 5 gunshots rang out almost simultaneously, making a loud noise. Fortunately, several horses' ears were plugged, otherwise it would be easy to startle the horses with such a loud sound......

"Retreat!" Royce ordered loudly immediately after the shooting. At this time, the thick smoke emitted by the five Mushkert muskets had not yet dissipated.

But Royce didn't dare to wait for the smoke to clear before ordering a retreat, because, if the smoke cleared, if the black rhinoceros hadn't been killed, he would definitely react and rush here. If it is hit by a rhinoceros that is speeding up, there will definitely be casualties......

Therefore, Royce gave orders to each team - after the fight, he rode his horse and ran as soon as possible, turning around and observing as he ran. If you see a rhinoceros coming after you, keep running. If the rhinoceros falls to the ground, it returns......

Luckily, the musketeers of Royce's squad were pretty good marksmanship, and they all hit. Royce then returned to the scene with his squad and came to the carcass of a West African black rhinoceros shot in the head......
