Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Wild Boar Herd

Since seeing the footprints of the pigs that day, Xu Shiyan has also wondered in his heart what method this group of pigs should use if they want to fight.

When asked at this moment, Xu Shiyan didn't feel embarrassed, so he said his thoughts.

"The captains of several hunting teams, each with two people with me, we have to go and circle the trail first."

You have to find out the current location of the wild boar herd and how big the herd is before you can make a plan for hunting.

I don't know anything now, just talking about it in this empty mouth, it's useless.

Xu Shiyan is the captain elected by the big guy, and most people know something about him.

And Xu Shiyan's arrangement is reasonable, and others can't find fault with it.

So the captains of each team took people and followed Xu Shiyan into the mountain to investigate the situation.

Xu Shiyan judged the general direction based on the habits of the wild boar and the footprints he saw in the forest that day.

The crowd set out from Xigang Commune and headed westward.

After crossing the Stone River, I saw a large number of wild boar footprints, all over the hillside, which seemed to be larger than when Xu Shiyan saw it before.

"There are big guys in this group of pigs." Xu Shiyan looked at the hoof prints on the ground, some of which were the size of a bowl.

This pig, I'm afraid it's not small, not to mention thousands of catties, seven or eight hundred catties can't run.

"Captain Xu, where are we chasing now?"

When they first came out, the other captains were still a little unconvinced, waiting to see the footprints on the mountain, and everyone had nothing else to say.

"Let's go, keep going, these are the footprints left yesterday, and I guess the pigs should be around the eight rooms today."

Experienced hunters can infer the time when the prey passed through the place from the footprints and excrement left by wild boars on the ground.

So you can roughly determine where to find this group of pigs next.

Eight rooms, is a place name.

Before the establishment of the tun, there were four peasant families who built eight houses to live in, so after the establishment of the tun, this place was called eight houses.

There are more than 40 households here, which are under the jurisdiction of the Dongling Brigade.

Just five or six miles south of the eight rooms, there is a large area of walnut tree, that is, a hickory forest.

At this time, there is no food everywhere, and the wild boar is estimated to be looking for pecans to eat in the arch snow in the walnut forest.

Xu Shiyan had a judgment in his heart, so he was not in a hurry to approach the walnut forest.

Instead, he took people around the forest in a big circle, and sure enough, only wild boars entered the forest, but there was no trace of leaving the forest.

"Let's go, let's go in quietly, no one should shoot rashly, in case you alarm those pigs, it's not easy to fight if you break up."

Xu Shiyan told everyone and led people into the forest.

At this time, the snow on the mountain has been deposited for a winter, and the top is hard covered, and the bottom is like sand.

When people step on it, it will not creak like fresh snow, but will feel like stepping on the sand, making a swishing sound.

The sound was not loud, and it was easy to be muffled by the howling wind in the woods, but it was a great opportunity for everyone to walk cautiously and try not to make any noise.

This walnut forest is very large, and there is a big ditch pond at the bottom, and at this moment, the group of wild boars is under the big ditch pond, constantly arching the snow, looking for pecans to eat from the snow.

Everyone looked uphill and down in the ditch and pond, and saw a large area under the bottom, and the black pressure was all wild boars.

It's a little far away, and those wild boars keep arching snow, and the arched snow is blown up by the wind, just like fog, and the vision is blocked, and the view is not so clear.

Looking at it vaguely, there are hundreds of pigs, and in the middle of the pig herd, there seems to be a big guy.

Xu Shiyan gestured to everyone, and the group didn't dare to make any movement, and quietly withdrew from the walnut forest.

"Let's go, let's go back quickly, early tomorrow morning, bring someone over, surround this area and fight directly."

Out of the forest, Xu Shiyan spoke.

It's already afternoon at this time, and the west slope of the ditch pond is in the sun, and this group of pigs must be resting in this forest tonight, and they will continue to go forward tomorrow morning.

As long as they surround the place before the wild boar gets out of the nest, they are not afraid of the wild boar running away.

Everyone was already convinced by Xu Shiyan at this time, so they naturally listened to him, so the group hurriedly walked back.

When I came, I followed the trail of the wild boar, and there were many detours, so I didn't need to go back.

Everyone was very familiar with this area, so they went straight to the direction of the commune and returned to Xigang.

In the evening, the big guy found a place to live in Xigang Commune.

On the morning of the eighteenth, before dawn, everyone got up, dealt with a bite of food, and then assembled and set out.

After walking for more than two hours, I came to the outside of the walnut tree.

When he arrived here, Xu Shiyan began to arrange manpower and arrange a hunting plan.

There are hundreds of people in their line, and it is impossible to shoot and shoot them directly, so that the wild boar is frightened and runs away with his life, and the two-legged one can not run with four legs.

And it's easy to have an accident if there are too many people, after all, bullets don't have long eyes, what if they hurt someone?

Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to tactical coordination, echelon preparation, and block attacks in batches to prevent wild boars from escaping from the encirclement.

Xu Shiyan led the people of the Dongjiang Brigade to touch it from the east of the walnut forest, and the people of the Dongling and Nanling brigades copied from the north and south.

The rest of the people were blocked uphill in the ditch and pond on the west side.

"Remember, our side fired first, and after the Dongling and Nanling brigades heard the gunshots, they outflanked both sides and drove the wild boars to the west."

"The west side is divided into sections, concentrate fire on the slope, wild boars escape, be sure to stop them, and strive to destroy them all."

Yesterday, I checked the terrain, and the slope on the west side of the ditch pond was steep, and the shots were fired from the east, south, and north, and this group could kill a lot of pigs.

The rest of the pigs must have fled towards the western slope, which is steep, and the wild boars are certainly slower uphill than downhill, and it is easier for the people on the slope to fight condescendingly.

Everyone felt that it was reasonable when they heard it, so the captains of the various teams led people to ambush them in the designated locations around the walnut forest according to the agreed plan.

Here, Xu Shiyan took a group of people from the Dongjiang River Brigade and changed into a white coat borrowed from the commune hospital last night.

They had to get as close as possible to the wild boar herd and then attack suddenly.

Twenty people were distributed in a fan, each with a gun in his hand, and walked cautiously into the forest.

The wild boar is lazy, and he only lay down to rest when he was full last night, and he will not get up this morning until ten o'clock without sleeping.

Sleeping wild boars, vigilance is naturally much lower.

In addition, the wind was still blowing in the forest today, and the twenty or so people were scattered, making that little movement hidden under the sound of the wind, and it was almost impossible to detect anything.

The crowd didn't dare to go too fast, and slowly approached the bottom of the ditch.

When I got to the bottom of the ditch, I found that there was a large group of wild boars lying on the west slope of the ditch.

Xu Shiyan waved his hand, telling everyone not to worry, slow down, slow down, and lean forward as much as possible.

Until less than 100 meters away from the wild boar herd, everyone pulled down the safety and took aim with their guns.

There was a bang, a gunshot, and then a boar howl.
