Chapter 273: Hunting Tigers
Do you need such a big battle to catch a tiger?
Ning Ze glanced back and felt helpless.
Originally, it was enough to take Mi Yan and her tiger with dozens of the best local hunters.
Who expected Liu Yuanxiang to be together.
Tell her that this trip is dangerous, and she is not afraid.
She wanted to go, Chu Xun asked to bring the entire army, and all the fierce generals must accompany her.
After all, the dignified princess Yuanxi can't tolerate the slightest negligence.
So Dewey, Wang Wei, Ding Mu, Chen Tai and a large number of fierce generals were fully armed, and the back was even more shengqi unfurled, and thousands of elite floating troops and strong crossbowmen accompanied them to protect.
Not to mention a tiger, this battle can be a tough battle!
probably saw such a lineup, and felt quite safe, and Chu Meiren also wanted to be together. After all, the husband and wife are the only ones who leave her at home, and there is a feeling of rejection.
As a result, it was like an outing, and there was no excitement at all to catch the beast as expected.
"Master Hou, don't go any further!" Arriving at the foot of the mountain, the old hunter who led the way came over and said, "The little one will take people up the mountain to set traps, and you can rest here." ”
"If you go by yourself, will it be dangerous?" After all, these hunters are very average, and their strength is generally around 50 points. That tiger has more than ninety points of force, which is equivalent to a first-class fierce general, Ning Ze can't help but worry.
The old hunter replied: "Don't worry, Master Hou! I have been hunting all year round and have rich experience. You can't beat a big insect head-on, but as long as you use a trap, you will be able to catch it. Generally speaking, we don't want to provoke this big worm, since Hou Ye wants to catch it, of course, we have carefully calculated and are 100% sure that we will come. ”
Ning Ze glanced at the special wooden cage trap cars behind the team, which were actually similar in principle to the rat trap, but they were magnified dozens of times and made to the size of a tiger. Live sheep are tied to the cage as bait, and if the tiger enters the trap, it will be kept inside.
Ning Ze did not participate in the design of these traps at all, they were created by the hunters themselves. I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients.
"Be careful yourself, the lonely centaur is waiting here, if there is danger, send a signal immediately, and the lonely will bring people to rescue!" Ning Ze said to the hunter.
The hunters divided into several teams, each pulling different trap carts up the hill for arrangement.
Ning Ze ordered to set up camp and rest by the river at the foot of the mountain.
Speaking of which, this is the river that made Ningze fall from the heights of Ningze without dying, and now it is revisited, which makes people quite emotional.
After setting up camp, the soldiers lit a fire on the spot to keep warm.
Ning Ze, Liu Yuanxiang, Mi Yan, and Chu Meiren didn't have to do anything, and Du Wei, Wang Wei and other generals ordered their subordinates to pick up firewood and help light a bonfire.
"It's not quite like you think. Sitting around the fire, Mi Yan couldn't help but look at Ning Ze and said.
It was different, the hunters were originally invited because they were more experienced, easier to find the tiger, and prepared to fight the tiger and capture it alive. Who would have thought that the hunters were too well prepared, and directly took over the tiger hunting work, so they could build a tiger trap so quickly.
Watching the entourage slaughter the extra sheep on the spot, cleaning them in the river, and happily roasting the mutton, everyone laughed and laughed, without the slightest sense of tension in capturing the tiger, it was really a spring outing, Ning Ze was quite speechless.
But also, with the current status, everything is arranged by subordinates, so you don't have to worry too much.
"Big brother!" The soldier brought the whole lamb that had been slaughtered and cleaned to Dewey, who took it to Ning Ze and prepared to roast it.
"I'll do it myself!" Ning Ze took the mutton from him, "You don't need help here, you can start roasting it yourself!"
"Okay!" Dewey retreated, took another sheep and gathered around the campfire with Ding Mu, Wang Wei and others.
Ning Ze personally put the mutton on the simple grill and paid attention to the heat.
When I was bored, I told my wives about the story of the tiger I met here, jumped off the cliff to save my life, and was rescued by Liang Teng along the river.
Of course, there was a change in the passage of that section, and he only said that he had traveled through the neighborhood.
Liu Yuanxiang, Mi Yan, and Chu Meiren listened to it with relish, although they had known about it for a long time.
Here is a leisurely barbecue and chat, and the hunters set up traps, find a place to hide, and wait patiently for the tiger to enter the cage.
For about an hour, that is, about two hours, there was no situation on the mountain, but Ning Ze felt that the surroundings had become extremely quiet for some time, and something was wrong.
"Husband, let's talk about the process of winning Chu Bai and Cheng Wan!" The mutton was still being cooked for two hours, and Liu Yuanxiang, who was anxious, pestered her husband to chat.
"Shh~" Ning Ze raised his index finger to make a silent gesture, signaled Mi Yan to take over the roast lamb, quickly opened the virtual interface, and went to the virtual map.
Although they didn't understand what he was doing, the wives obediently quieted down.
After opening the map, Ning Ze found that about a hundred meters away from the river, red dots appeared in the dense woods.
The red dot indicates danger, but it is not the dense red dot of the army, which is only 1 in number.
In such places, there are either dangerous beasts or assassins acting alone.
From the analysis of the surrounding environment, if the assassin does not let the surrounding area be quiet, the birds and beasts will not sing.
There is only one possibility in this situation, and it is the king of beasts in the mountains that appears.
That is, the hunter's trap did not attract the tiger, but quietly went around this side.
It is possible to slaughter the sheep with the whole army, and the smell of blood irritates it even more.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Dewey, who was sitting on the fire next to him, noticed Ning Ze's solemn expression, so he asked softly.
All the soldiers immediately turned their heads and looked at Ning Ze one after another.
Ning Ze turned his head to look at the location of the red dot, the trees and grass were lush and he couldn't see the other party, but he was sure that the tiger was among them, and he was always watching this side. Therefore, he whispered: "Since just now, Lone has felt that something has been secretly staring at this side. And it's silent all around, and you can't hear the birds, don't you think it's strange?"
"Brother, what do you mean......" Dewey subconsciously got up and grabbed the silver snake spear.
"I'm afraid that big worm is nearby," Ning Ze said, "and order the soldiers to enter a state of alert." ”
The generals on the scene were all nervous and ordered the whole army to be on alert.
Liu Yuanxiang and Chu Meiren were a little scared, and hurriedly hid to Ning Ze's side.
Mi Yan also cheered up.
The camp was on extreme alert, and the red dots in the bushes did not move, as if they were afraid of the crowds.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and after a while, Ning Ze found that the red dot was not moving, so he ordered: "Pass the order of the lonely general, divide the troops into formation." Brother Xian led a group of men and horses to the left, Ghost Face and Ding Mu led the troops to advance from the right side, and the rest moved forward with Gu and surrounded the woods!
The army was divided into four groups in an instant, Chen Tai took more than 700 crossbowmen to stay in the camp to protect Liu Yuanxiang and Chu Meiren.
The three teams cautiously outflanked the past, slowly surrounding the bush where the red dot was located.
As they got closer, there was a loud roar from the trees, and a large adult colorful tiger appeared, roaring at the surrounding soldiers.
The soldiers were very nervous, lined up with their weapons held high, and slowly moved forward according to the order.
"Remember, catch it alive!" Dewey reminded the crowd.
In the three teams, under the cover of the front row, many soldiers were ready to lasso and lasso the tiger at any time.
The tiger was obviously frightened by so many people, and when the frontal Ning Ze team appeared, he immediately turned around and ran to the side.
As a result, he quickly collided with Dewey's team coming from the side, so he quickly turned around and ran backwards.
Soon the way was blocked by Wang Wei and Ding Mu's team.
In a short time, the tiger was seized by three loaves and surrounded by many things.
Faced with this, it roared menacingly around it, constantly circling and observing.
"Be careful, pay attention to protect yourself, and cover your companions!" Ning Ze reminded loudly, "Don't kill it unless you have to!"
The purpose of this trip is to capture the tiger, and it would be a pity to kill it?
The three teams continued to shrink the encirclement, and some of the soldiers threw the lasso in an attempt to trap the tiger.
The tiger jumped left and right very flexibly, avoiding the lasso attacks again and again, roared in the face of the encirclement, and rushed to the front, flying towards Ning Ze's side. I don't know if I recognized Ning Ze, or if it was random.
At the moment when the tiger pounced, Mi Yan stepped forward with a serrated knife, picked it up and slapped it hard with the side of the big knife, hitting the tiger in the face.
The tiger was in pain, turned around, and rushed to the other side.
Wang Wei immediately swept with the barrel of his gun, forcing the tiger back.
Dewey drove the tiger away from the rear with a silver snake spear, making the encirclement smaller and smaller.
"Hold it!" Seeing that the tiger rushed left and right, and was forced back again and again by his fierce generals and dense military formations, completely surrounded by the superiority of numbers and equipment, Ning Ze gave an order, and the lasso was thrown towards the tiger again.
The smaller the encirclement, the less space the tiger has to dodge. Every time I wanted to break through, I was blocked by the big shields of the shield soldiers in the front row, as if I had hit the wall. Coupled with the soldiers' weapons to drive away, it cannot hurt people.
This is the advantage of high command, Commander Ning Ze is worth 110 points, as long as he personally leads the troops, the army is amazing in both defense and attack.
Finally, the dodging tiger was caught in the lasso, so it struggled and pounced angrily. Soon, however, more lassoes were thrown over its limbs and body.
With the cooperation of a large group of soldiers, the tiger was completely controlled.
Ning Ze came out of the team and cautiously walked towards the tiger.
"Brother, be careful!!" Dewey cried out worriedly.
"Master Hou——!!" The surrounding soldiers also showed a worried look.
"Don't make noise!" Ning Ze waved his hand and said, then slowly squatted down, close to the head, limbs, and body were all trapped, and were tightened in all directions, no matter how hard they struggled, the useless tiger, "Do you remember Lonely? Don't struggle, Lone will take you as a mount, and follow Lone to eat and drink spicy food in the future. If you are a male, you are the best, and there is a tigress with a good posture prepared by you, so you can have more tiger cubs to play with. ”
Soldiers: "......"
