Chapter 300: Long-distance running 2/2

[Three hundred chapters, scattering flowers]

Yesterday it was Yuerong who went out hunting with Yitun, and today it was Snake Shou who went out hunting with Ertun, but today the hunting team has an important task, changing the hunting method of the hunting team for the first time, running along the road to the copper mining area for most of the morning, and then entering the jungle to hunt.

This was a change that had to be made as a last resort when there were fewer and fewer beasts in the half-day's area around Source City.

"Let's go!"

With the order of the snake guard, forty-seven men in full armor ran along the road towards the west.

The rattan armor soldier wears rattan armor, holding a rattan shield in his left hand and a broadsword or axe in his right; The pikeman holds a round bronze shield in his left and a spear in his right; The spearman carries a short spear and carries five short spears on his back; The archer's main weapon is a bow, and there are twenty arrows in the quiver on his back, and there is a secondary weapon hanging on his side, so he can choose a sword, knife, axe, etc. according to his preference, and the weight is a little lighter than the weapon used by the wisteria armor soldiers.

Heavily armed, they carried not only weapons, but also water bladders, nets, saws, and other things, which were carried separately without much weight.

However, counting all the things in the body, the weight is at least twenty catties, which is not light, and the members of the hunting team are all a group of people with relatively high physical fitness, and there is not much problem with carrying more than twenty catties of weight.

The hunting party runs forward, two to three times as fast as walking, not too fast, not too slow.

After a little more than an hour of marching to reach the copper mining area, it takes almost two and a half hours to reach the copper mining area, and by running, the hunting party shortens the time to half or less.

Rest for a while in the copper mining area and continue westward, ending in Yantian.

There were no watches, so the time could only be roughly determined according to the position of the sun, and about two-thirds of the way in the morning, the hunting party stopped moving forward and entered the jungle on the north side of the road.

There is no need to worry about whether there are wild beasts in the area around the copper mining area, the copper mining area is mainly responsible for mining, but there is no time to hunt, the food in the copper mining area is transported from the source city, there is no need to go out hunting and waste mining time.

Just walking a few dozen zhang to the north, the snake guard at the front of the team stopped, and at the same time, the snake guard also raised the axe he was holding in his right hand and made a stop movement.

Seeing the action, the people behind stopped and didn't make any sound, and the team members knew that basically this would only happen when they found their prey.

Yes, the snake guard spotted the prey, and there was a fat boar arching towards the ground next to a large tree in front of him, presumably looking for food to eat.

"Don't make a sound, there's prey, over there, move forward carefully." After identifying the prey in front of him, the snake guard immediately turned around and gestured to the team.

Try not to talk when hunting, especially when you find prey, the hunting team has a unique set of gestures, simple and clear, everyone in the hunting team should use this set of gestures.

The team members in front saw the snake guard's gesture, and then the team member in front passed the meaning of the gesture to the team members behind them, and soon, everyone received the snake guard's words.

The hunting party slowly unfolded, the archers and spearmen stepped forward, and most importantly the spearmen, who were armed with recurve bows, which were not as good as short spears when dealing with wild boars.

"Forward!"

The hunting party slowly approached the wild boar.

"Throw a spear! Archery! ”

In an instant, half of the spearmen and archers launched their attacks, and at the moment of attack, all the people of the hunting party rushed towards the boar, and the other half of the spearmen and archers ran and prepared for a second wave of attacks.

Oh!

A short spear and arrow hit the wild boar, the thick fur on the boar can weaken the power of the arrow and the short spear to a certain extent, and the arrow is just that, the power of the short spear is weakened a little and still gives the wild boar a heavy blow.

The boar, with its arrows and spears hanging from it, took a few steps to the side and fell to the ground, unable to run again.

It's just a "little boar", not unlike the super boar found in the winter of the previous year, which can be killed with just one attack.

"Take it and keep going!"

……

The sun had already passed overhead, and after more than half an hour of hunting, the hunting team harvested many prey, and the total weight was at least 1,500 catties.

Although the time was just past noon, the snake guard still gave the order to return, the hunting team's hunting action today is not comparable to before, it used to start from the source city, while hunting and advancing, but today it is directly out of dozens of miles before starting to hunt.

The current location of the hunting team is so far away from the source city, and it still carries a large amount of prey, and it must return to the source city before dark, so the hunting team will set off for the return just after noon.

A few people were in charge of one prey, and the rest of the clan guarded the perimeter, and the hunting party set out on its way back.

Walking in the jungle was a bit tricky, but it was easy to walk on the road, with a few people carrying a prey, and the team was even able to trot forward, of course, at a speed comparable to that of the morning.

When passing through the copper mining area, the hunting party left a prey for the tribesmen stationed in the copper mining area and continued on their way.

The copper mining area is made of wheelbarrows, but the hunting team does not use the wheelbarrow, it is easy to use the wheelbarrow, but the speed of the hunting team has slowed down, and it is difficult to return to the tribe before dark, so it is better to continue to trot forward with the prey.

As the sun set, just when the sky was getting darker, the snake guard finally returned with the hunting team, and the snake guard at the front of the team saw at a glance dozens of clansmen at the gate of the west city of the source city, which were Yue Rong and Yitun people.

"Captain, we're back." Snake Shou said to Yuerong with a smile.

"It's good to be back, today's harvest is good." Yuerong also replied with a smile.

Snake Shou: "There are indeed more prey in the farther area, and the hunting team has only been hunting for about an hour today, and the harvest is a lot, in addition to these, there is also a deer in the copper mining area." ”

Yuerong: "It's a pity, the hunting area is too far away, and I can't hunt for too long. ”

"yes." Snake Mamoru nodded approvingly.

The prey is carried to the slaughter for a quick slaughter, the meat is divided, and the members of the hunting team take the meat to deliver it from house to house, and each family can get a little more than a pound of meat, and can also get some bones.

There is relatively little meat, and it is a good choice to drink the soup with bones and meat.

The daily harvest of the source city hunting team has finally increased, the Akagi side is okay, the establishment time of the Akagi is not long, and the hunting area is more than that of the source city, and the bamboo city side is in trouble, even if the method of the source city hunting team is used, the Bamboo City hunting team can't get much prey, there is no jungle, and there are few beasts living in the area around the bamboo city.
