Chapter 7: Autumn Hunting

If people have something to do, time flies very quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIt's time for the autumn hunt soon, and Burhan's task is to find out the specific location of the beast herd before the autumn hunt begins, and prepare for the autumn hunt.

There are now eight squads of less than 110 people in the Guard, which are led by Zaduluo, Tong Ga, Guo Nu, Qin Fang, Gangsu He, Alatan Jin, Aladartu, and Bayin Erile.

"Tong Ga, Guo Nu, Qin Fang, and Aladartu searched in a fan shape in the north, and when they encountered a large herd of beasts, they immediately came to report, Gangsu He, Alatan Jin, and Bayin Erile searched in a fan direction in the northeast direction, and Zaduro and I gathered information in the center, and they all went down to prepare." After Burhan finished assigning the task, he saw that Zaduro was a little unhappy, probably because he didn't let him go out, as an elder brother, he still didn't want to let him take risks, although there were no big wolves in Alxa, but it was better to be careful, and let him out of his sight when he was older!

Collecting information on the herd for the autumn hunt is a task that Burhan snatched from Kali, he just wants to test the overall strength of the China Guard, whether the training for half a year has results depends on how it is in practice, isn't it always said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth! However, no traces of large prey were found for several days, and with the growth of the population of the Hechiti tribe in recent years, the large wild animals of Alxa can rarely gather in groups, that is, the migration of yellow sheep in autumn and winter is the most important in autumn and winter every year. Late at night, everyone sat around the campfire, and Burhan gathered the day's information, and the scouts of the various squads arrived to report their gains of the day. Although there are no large herds, there are always a lot of odds, and Burhan marked the locations and numbers of prey collected on the map one by one. Lying in his sleeping bag, Burhan thought that he had gained a lot, and there were 1,000 yellow sheep and more than 200 red deer. Let's go back in a few days, we can't round up all the animals! Turned around and looked at Zaduro, this guy was really angry, he didn't talk to him for a few days, he didn't even eat his favorite barbecue, he just ate some cheese and marline candy secretly given by Kuran, maybe he could get rid of his anger in a few days, right?

In the early morning, the sun's rays tear through the horizon and shine on the earth. The burned ash is scattered by the wind. After all the men had taken care of the horses, Burhan sent scouts to the various squads, and asked them to join up with the troop at noon at the latest, and go back to report the news to the people of the old camp. Near noon, the teams have returned to the starting point to gather, only Bayin Erile and Gangsu and the team have not returned, may be the scope of the search is larger, the return will be a little later, the Alxa Department has no other Mongolian departments that are enemies of the Hechiti Department, Burhan is still more assured, everyone continues to wait. Slowly everyone's hearts began to tighten, couldn't something happen? Pray, don't let them be in danger in the Immortal Heaven, Burhan can't sit still at this time, and if he doesn't come back, the sky will be dark in an hour.

"We can't go on like this, our military regulations can't be a disobedience, something must have happened, now we can't be separated, each team is 500 meters apart and fanning to the northeast."

"Yes" The captains have left the tangled people, and efficiency is one of the major characteristics of Chinasi.

"Big brother, you said they wouldn't be fine, right?" Zaduro asked timidly, he was afraid that his eldest brother would be angry, and it was also the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, so he couldn't help but be a little flustered.

"It's okay, believe in Big Brother, remember that no matter what happens, you have to follow in the footsteps of Big Brother, do you know?" Burhan lovingly touched his brother's hair and encouraged him. Six teams of people quickly set off to search in the direction of Gangsuhe and Bayin's Erile, the sky of the grassland is like this, the night is coming, everyone is searching forward with torches.

"Big brother, how far have they come! Why is there no one now? "Zaduro is a little impatient, but what if he is impatient?

"Third brother, remember, no matter what, our people in Chinasi will not leave a partner behind. You are working hard, our companions may be ahead, they may be in danger waiting for our rescue. ā€

Upon hearing Burhan's cry, the wolfish nature of the Chinath erupted, and they galloped forward, and in a short time they reached a puddle of water, and there was a clear light on the small hillside, which was most likely them. Finally found, and when he saw that they must spank their ass, Zaduro seemed to have a feeling of liberation. Before this feeling could be sublimated, it was interrupted by a miserable wolf howl.

"Oh no, they are in a wolf pack like this. Qin Fang and Guo Nu took the subordinates to take a detour from the right, Alatan Jin and Aladartu detoured from the left, and the others followed me to take a look, and Tong Ga paid attention to protecting Zaduro. They set off with a simple arrangement, and Burhan was afraid that they were really in danger.

The wolf pack is not very large, and the power of the steppe wolf is still enough. Wolves are smart, and they don't act rashly when they see so many people. As a result, Burkhand was able to reach the hillside without any problems. At this time, Bayin Erile and Gangsu had already knelt down in front of Burhan.

"Tell me what's going on." Burhan's gloomy question shook the hearts of the two. Cold sweat seeped out involuntarily.

"Lord Qiqi, we found a large yellow sheep, there are more than 3,000 of them, and then we found that there are wolves targeting this group of prey, we are afraid that something will go wrong, so we occupy the hillside and light a bonfire......" Burhan was very angry when he heard this, and glared at Gangsuhe who spoke.

"Didn't the scouts who sent back tell you the order?"

"Yes, but by then we found out that we were surrounded by wolves."

"How many wolves were there?"

"There's... There are about 50 of them. Bayin replied resignedly, and Burhan stood up in an instant, and he angrily watched as the two raised their horsewhips and hit them heavily as he spoke.

"Only 50 wolves will make the 220-strong China Guards timid, only 50 wolves will put their companions in prison, and only 50 wolves will break the courage of both of you. Look at how many wolves there are now? "Bayin Erile and Gangsuhe can't see it, but listening to each other's undulating wolf howls, you can also judge that there are at least 300 of them. Burhan, perhaps tired of the beating, threw away his whip and said to the men:

"That's it for today, and you will give me a vigil." Burhan also wanted to break out of the encirclement and kill the generals, but the night was already dark, and there was no danger of confronting more than 300 wolves in the vast grassland, but fortunately, the two fools were not stupid, so they chose a small dirt slope and went back at dawn!

Burhan was very angry with the two, he didn't expect that the Chinasi, who he had trained so hard, would be dragged down by 50 wolves, if they had broken through to 50 wolves earlier, they would not have dared to do anything, and the Mongols' scimitars and bows and arrows were not ornaments.

Early the next morning, the wolves may have felt unprofitable and have already dispersed, Burhan led them back to Daduoreyan, and Grandma was already watching outside the door, this was the first time that Burhan led the army alone or some baby soldiers, and there was a smaller Zaduro in it, could it not worry Grandma? After returning, he reported all the gains along the way to his father and other nobles, and finally his father decided to set out for a huge autumn hunt after a day. And Burhan also took this opportunity to reorganize the Guards of China, and at the same time to let the little ones see blood. As for the wolf pack, let's just take it as a thrilling experience!

The next day, the nobles led by the chief Alett set out, and as they received the exact news from Burhan, they dispersed in three directions, and gradually drove the prey to the central zone and then hunted. Although it was not yet noon at this time, the prey was basically gathered, the Mongol hunting was different from the Manchu Qing, the Manchu hunting also used fences or cloth to make "fences" and the Mongols did not use, in the open field, the Mongols rode on several square kilometers of grassland to prevent the prey from escaping, and then there was a special "Jebe" responsible for shooting and killing them to humanely slaughter. The purpose of hunting is to hunt and eat meat for the survival of the tribe in peacetime, and the ultimate purpose of the Hechiti tribe is to train the army and prevent them from losing their vitality. So, slaughter is not the goal, and the people of the Hechiti tribe know what to do. First of all, the flock of 3-400 yellow sheep that was enclosed into the field, this thing is very common in the Alxa grassland, in the past in the great drought years, relying on them did not feed the Hechiti Department, but in those years the life of the Hechiti Department was not easy, the kind of yellow sheep flock that was tens of thousands of times larger at every turn on the grassland was gone, and only scattered small flocks remained. Today should also be their bad luck, they will suffer this calamity as soon as they migrate here, but the Hechi Ti tribe has no need for these guys all these years, so they just separate the old, weak, sick and disabled from the tribe and give them to Jebe, only the marksmen in the tribe can not hurt the skin as much as possible, so that they can be sold for a good price.

Jebe was in place, General Kali and General Guo Wei with the leader of the guard and some herdsmen began to divide the old, weak, sick and disabled in the yellow sheep flock, the herdsmen waved with wooden sticks, it was quite scary to watch, the yellow sheep were frightened by these herdsmen and ran around, how could those old, weak and sick and disabled be compared with the young and strong in speed and overall coordination, and even the cubs were not as good. The phenomenon of going around in circles became more and more obvious, and then Guo Wei and Kali's troops began to charge to separate them, and then distinguish the cubs from the mother and child, which was also very cumbersome, anyway, there was time. Although it takes a little effort but retains the species, in the past two years, the Hechi Ti Department has deeply realized the power of nature, people can't ask for excess, you must know that nothing in the world is free, just like coming out to mix sooner or later to pay back, but we don't know how much we will have to pay back in the future, and who will repay! Existence is necessary.

The yellow sheep that were separated from the tribe and did not mean much to this group were the meat targets of the marksman "Jebe". I saw a sharpshooter draw an arrow, draw a bow and shoot an arrow in one go, hitting an elderly yellow sheep in the left eye, the yellow sheep twitched a few times and did not move, and the surrounding marksmen also shot the arrow of death at the yellow sheep. Some yellow sheep have given up resistance and simply stood still, which really has a sense of early death and early superbirth.

After a group of yellow sheep was hunted, the tribesmen of the Hechiti tribe let another group enter the hunting belt, and so on, and several yellow sheep herds were wiped out, of course, those who were old, weak, sick and disabled. There were also a few red deer interspersed during the period, and suddenly a group of hunters cheered happily, only to see Iragon dragging the carcass of a snow leopard, and the discerning person knew that the snow leopard was hit by an arrow in the head. Burhan is also really envious, Iragon is only nine years old today and can hunt a snow leopard, although I don't know if he did it alone, but he is really a warrior! The Ku Yan beside Burhan was even more joyful at this time, holding Burhan's arm.

Iragon, who was showing off to the crowd, saw his sister holding Burhan's arm, and angrily shook off the snow leopard carcass on horseback and returned to his father Wu Rizhao's camp. Burhan saw the vicious look that Eragon shot at him, and shook his head, he was still a child! What's wrong with himself and his sister, how can he, as a single child in this world, understand his brother's feelings for his sister?
