Chapter 244: The First Expedition
After a few days of calm thinking, the clansmen carefully analyzed the pros and cons of the expedition plan, although the bounty set by Wang Lang was very attractive, but what was the situation in the wild, everyone was clear.
I think when I was in the wild, encountering wild beasts was basically a life of death, although now both weapons and physical strength are much stronger than before, but this expedition plan has also increased the danger countless times, and casualties will definitely appear.
After two days, most people retreated, although it is good to have more money, but it also has to be spent on life.
But there are those who are timid, and two days later, Wang Lang finally waited for the first application expedition team.
"Have you thought about it? This expedition is a dangerous one. Wang Lang said to the dozen or so people in front of him.
"Chief, we've all thought about it, even if it's dead, it's our choice." Said a man in the lead, who looked quite brave.
Wang Lang nodded and said, "What's your name and whose subordinates are they?" ”
"My name is Zhao Dashu, and I am General Lin Huo's subordinate." Zhao Dashu replied respectfully.
"Very good, archers, then you will be in charge of this expedition from now on." Wang Lang said.
Zhao Dashu nodded, this expedition was formed spontaneously, although it was said that Zhao Dashu was in charge, but all members were on an equal footing.
Wang Lang explained the precautions to them, and then named the expedition the first expedition, and registered the names of the twelve members of the expedition on a piece of animal skin.
Among these twelve people, there were the most archers, a full six, and the rest were three each of the bark and Kong Er's soldiers, all of whom had undergone a long period of military training, and Wang Lang was still very satisfied with the composition of the expedition.
"Have you figured out what you're going to do?" Wang Lang asked.
"After thinking about it, we plan to hunt wild beasts in the wild first, and when we are all familiar with each other, we plan to go to the forest to have a look." Zhao Dashu replied.
"Yes, it's much better to have a plan than nothing, and it's also a good choice for you to take hunting and training first, if you want to go to the forest in the future, you can come to me and ask what you're looking for."
Wang Lang admired the person in front of him a lot, and couldn't help but remind him a few words.
"Chief, when can we go hunting?" Zhao Dashu asked.
"Tomorrow, you guys prepare today, you may have to stay outside for a long time when you go out, you must pay attention to your own safety." Wang Lang Warner said confusedly.
Zhao Dashu nodded and said, "Chief, we'll go back and prepare." ”
"Well, I hope you guys get off to a good start with this expedition." Wang Lang said with a smile.
Zhao Dashu patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, leader, we will definitely become the most powerful expedition team in the tribe." ”
Watching the members of this expedition leave, Wang Lang smiled with satisfaction.
After a day of preparation, the first expedition was officially formed, and in the midst of the bewildered and expectant gazes, twelve heavily armed explorers left the tribe.
Out of the tribe, a member of the expedition asked, "Big tree, where are we going?" ”
"Let's go to the east, we are more familiar with it over there, there are too few beasts near the tribe." Zhao Dashu said slowly.
With the goal set, the expedition slowly moved towards the east.
Everyone walked vigilantly on the grassland, not only to guard against the sneak attack of wild beasts, but also to always look for their own hunting targets, which can be said to be very tired along the way.
After a day of walking, the expedition team found nothing, and these animals that were usually scurrying around seemed to know that such a group of killers were coming to hunt them, and they disappeared without a trace.
The depressed expedition chose to spend the night behind a small dirt slope, the bonfire was lit, and everyone ate the dry food they brought, which Wang Lang had invented not long ago, when the corn was mashed into powder and mixed with minced meat to make something similar to a flatbread, which could be eaten raw or boiled into a paste in a clay pot.
At night, there seemed to be a lot of wild beasts on the grassland at once, and the roars of various beasts could often be heard around, and these terrifying sounds made everyone in the expedition team nervous.
After a two-hour vigil of the first night, the next day everyone was pleasantly surprised to find a herd of antelope-like herbivores resting not far behind the dirt slope.
This unexpected situation suddenly made everyone overjoyed.
"Looks like we're in luck," one of the expedition members said excitedly.
"Everyone is ready, we are all familiar with hunting, we archers are responsible for shooting this group of prey, you six are responsible for driving away, the leader said, if we can catch the cub of the beast, this cub can belong to us, whether everyone can live a good life, it depends on this time." Zhao Dashu looked at everyone solemnly.
Everyone nodded, and dispersed according to the plan, and the spearmen and the three cavalrymen, bowed with spears, approached the group of prey little by little, like ghosts walking through the waist-high grass.
Seeing that they had already begun to move, the archers also began to disperse to find suitable shooting positions.
After the six people quietly detoured behind the group of prey, they made a gesture to Zhao Dashu and told them that they were ready.
Seeing this, Zhao Dashu looked at the rest of the archers and nodded.
The archers understood that this was time to attack.
"Whoosh!"
Six bows and arrows flew out almost simultaneously, heading towards the herd of beasts in the distance.
When several of the prey were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, the rest of the prey immediately panicked and began to flee in all directions.
At this moment, the people who were lurking suddenly came out of the grass, brandished their spears, and howled and rushed towards the prey that wanted to run on their side.
As the encirclement narrowed a little, most of the prey escaped, and there were as many as five or six prey surrounded by the expedition, including two young beasts.
The prey, who had nowhere to escape, looked desperately at the humans who gradually surrounded them, and their mouths kept letting out one cry after another.
Naturally, people do not sympathize with these prey, and in their eyes they are copper coins.
Ruthlessly killing several adult prey, several men together pressed the two cubs to the ground and pulled some weeds to tie their hooves.
The success of the hunt excites everyone, and the members of the expedition are happily counting their loot.
This hunt killed five adult prey and captured two cubs, which can be described as a victory.
"So much prey must be sold for a good price." Zhao Dashu said excitedly.
