Chapter 56: Hunting 1
Disillusioned, Yang Lin hoped to carry out a larger hunt to raise more food for the army.
The dead tiger was carried to the river, and seven or eight hunters were skinning the dead tiger around him.
Everyone was excited, and many were ready to leave.
Yang Lin stood on a big rock, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then hugged his fists to express his gratitude to the surroundings, and said to everyone: "Everyone, in addition to killing this tiger, this hunt also killed twenty rabbits, monkeys, wild deer, wild boars, etc.
In this way, let's divide the prey, 10 catties of tiger meat for every 20 Zhuang Ding, and a rabbit or something.
Not to mention the rest, this tiger is a treasure all over his body, he endangered everyone in the past, and today we will eat his flesh. ”
Everyone laughed, and some village representatives even excused themselves repeatedly, and the adults organized soldiers to kill the tigers to eliminate the harm for the locality, how could everyone share the prey?
Yang Lin smiled and looked at everyone: "Everyone, if you don't have everyone's support to succeed, let's take it first."
In the next few days, a hunting will be organized on the big and small Pengshan mountains, and the prey will be indispensable at that time. ”
Everyone was shocked, and naturally asked how to hunt and whether they needed manpower.
Yang Lin expressed his welcome, so more than 100 men were willing to participate in the hunt the next day.
Considering the small number of people, it was decided to hunt the small Pengshan next to it first, and then this Dapengshan.
The hunting destination was quickly selected, there is a ravine about half a mile long in the middle of the big and small Peng Mountains, called Wild Boar Ridge, the east and west sides are cliffs, only the north and south roads are the same, if you can drive the prey to the Wild Boar Ridge, and then hunt, so it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
After deciding on the combat intention, it was decided that Yang Lin would lead a bureau to smash the Wild Boar Ridge to stop it, and Yang Cheng and Liao Qifang would each lead their headquarters and cooperate with the villagers to encircle them in the east, west, and north directions.
Everyone was very excited, as Yang Lin declared, this was a real combat drill, and only after many drills, everyone could slowly become familiar with the battlefield operations.
Emphasizing the cooperation between personnel in the hunting process, generally a team of 5 people is a team, and each team designates a person in charge for command and coordination.
Before driving to the Wild Boar Ridge, we need to beat tree branches, set off firecrackers, beat gongs and drums, set off fireworks, etc., in order to achieve the purpose of driving.
In order to let everyone better understand how to hunt, Yang Lin told everyone that hunting is like a villager chasing ducks, blocking the key pass, and driving the prey to the destination.
Although everyone didn't understand it for a while, the most important thing on the battlefield was obedience, the absolute obedience given by the commander.
After a night's rest, the hunt began early the next morning, despite the fog in the sky, very low visibility, and rough roads.
After the squadrons and squads received the order, everyone rushed to the destination with a one-man high arquebus, rattan cards, long knives, spears, pots and pans, torches, firecrackers, etc., and then began to hunt.
I saw three or five people standing next to each road, and others shouted trumpets, beat the branches of the trees around them, beat gongs and drums, or fluttered torches in their hands, and surrounded them from all directions.
Yang Lin stood on a small hill behind, his hands on a pergola, and through the little sparks in front of him, he inspected the progress of the various action teams.
Seeing that the momentum was so strong, Wu Dazhu next to him was full of doubts and asked, "My lord, this, is this useful?" Will this drive away the prey? ”
Although Yang Lin was quite puzzled in his heart, he still nodded and said, "Of course, why can't it?"
Although I haven't seen hunting, the villagers should know that three or five villagers can drive more than 100 ducks, and hundreds of us can hunt with the help of steep mountain passes? ”
Wu Dazhu nodded as if he didn't understand, everyone was thinking about it, and suddenly received a report from Yao Chonglie that he found a few rabbits in a few holes during the hunting, and asked for instructions on whether to give up or continue the hunt.
Yang Lin was shocked in his heart, the terrain in the south is different from the north, the southern waterways are vertical and horizontal, the hills are dense, and there are many ravines, while the north is a boundless prairie.
In the north, animals have nowhere to hide, just simply drive away, but in the south, the prey can enter caves and other places, if you give up so easily, then the other party may give yourself a guerrilla war.
Everyone smoked with smoke and firecrackers, and other ways to drive out the prey in the hole, or exterminated it on the spot.
The hunt went very slowly, and for a full morning, although more than thirty rabbits, ten monkeys, two foxes, and a wild deer were hunted, but only a dozen hills were rounded up.
Liao Qifang was anxious, pointed to the opposite mountain and shook his head: "My lord, according to this progress, I can't even hunt Xiaofang Mountain today?" ”
Yang Lin's face was solemn, nodded and said, "Yes, the progress is a little very slow, let's talk about what's a good way?" ”
Everyone was gossiping, and the hunter Xu Yue touched his cheeks and thought about it, and said timidly: "My lord, didn't you say that during the hunting process, you need to send some elite people to rush in and kill those prey?"
But the terrain here is very complicated, and although the prey is driven away, it is often found in some caves or something to hide.
Either the hunters who are in the hunt will not only hunt the startled prey, but will first drive them out with torches and firecrackers when they find the prey burrowing into the hole.
If this is the case, it is equivalent to giving the other party a tiger's mouth, so the progress of the hunt will be much faster. ”
Yang Lin felt that it was feasible, and after some consideration, he immediately changed his method and adopted a new way of hunting the next day.
Not to mention, the effect of the change of method was immediately apparent, there were people outside who beat gongs and drums to hunt, and there were people inside who made trouble, and the animals that were rounded up could no longer be slightly startled and driven out of the cave as they had done in the past, and then immediately found a hiding place and were hunted by the soldiers who kept killing them.
The hunt went on and on, and the number of prey caught continued to increase, and by noon they were quite happy to see a wild bear, two wild boars, four or five deer, four or five foxes, forty or fifty rabbits, monkeys, and so on.
Due to the large number of people, rabbits, monkeys, foxes, and all kinds of wild animals in the valley could no longer be at peace, and one by one they ran out of the caves, and when they saw the fire coming in, they ran away one after another.
Seeing that the momentum was so loud, the crowd also came to the momentum, shouting one after another, and the animals were constantly driven and running back and forth, and at this time, the various hunting squads continued to rush in, hunting and killing panicked wild animals.
The strength of the number of people is great, especially after the successive organization, by the time the sun sets, the closure is completed, and about 200 animals are surrounded in the wild boar ridge.
Everyone was very excited, and Yang Fuquan suggested using a bow and crossbow to hunt.
Yang Lin frowned, if it was just a simple aim and shooting, what was the use of this and hitting a live target on weekdays?
In the previous life, the Chinese people admired how powerful the Japanese were in fighting bayonets, and although they had the element of defeating the opponent with artillery fire first, their daily training skills were still quite desirable.
Of course, Yang Lin could not use live people to practice bayonets like the Japanese, but in ancient times, there were many sparsely populated and sparsely populated livestock, and of course he could be trained with wild beasts in the deep mountains and old forests.
Stopped the crowd, let everyone kill in formation, and use knives and guns to deal with the prey that was driven into the ditch.
Although everyone can't bear it, if they shoot with a gun from a distance, they don't have any psychological burden, and they fight in close quarters, and when they encounter rabbits and monkeys, they make miserable screams and green eyes, which makes everyone feel quite uncomfortable.
