The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

"Ow~"

"Ouch!!"

"..."

Just when the men of the hunting team were lying in the snow, they couldn't stand it anymore, a howl of wolves came from afar.

The dogs led by the members of the hunting team crawled to the ground with their tails between their legs when they heard the howl of wolves.

Obviously terrified!
Sun Qiang looked through the canopy and looked into the distance.

At the end of his line of sight, a pack of [-] or [-] wild wolves appeared.

The gray-yellow hair of the wild wolf is very conspicuous on a snow-white snow field.

From far away, one can see gray dots moving slowly.

With one eye on the pack of wolves entering the trap, Sun Qiang's hands also started to move.

Take out the pre-loaded paper shell ammunition from the bullet pouch at the waist, and then start loading the musket.

First, the paper shell of the bullet is bitten off, and the gunpowder is loaded into the gun chamber.

Then the egg-shaped buckshot was pushed into the barrel, and then compacted with a cleaning rod.

After finishing the preparations before shooting, Sun Qiang began to adjust his breathing, and looked for the wolf king among the wolves.

Generally speaking, when the wolves are in action, the position of the wolf king is fixed.

The one who walks in the front and opens the way for the whole group is the wolf king, followed by the Beta wolf, which is the stronger group of wolves, and the grassroots wolf is the last.

The formation of grassroots wolves is determined by the strength of their combat power, and the ones who walk last are usually the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

If Sun Qiang wanted to find the wolf king, the best way was to keep an eye on the one that was walking in front.

As the wolves got closer to the trap, the men of the hunting team hidden in the snow field began to breathe more and more quickly.

Some men with no relevant experience kept taking deep breaths, and their faces were full of tension visible to the naked eye.

With a bang, the gunshots rang out!

A puff of white gunpowder smoke floated on the snow field, which was unusually conspicuous.

I don't know who was too nervous. Before the wolves entered the encirclement, he pulled the trigger.

The sound of gunfire startled the pack of wolves that were slowly moving forward.

The leader, the wolf king, pricked up his ears alertly, and then let out a wolf howl.

"Aww~ Aww! Aww!"

Amidst the howling of wolves, the originally orderly wolf pack instantly became chaotic.

The wolf king cleverly got into the pack of wolves to hide himself.

Then, the wolves began to quickly return the same way.

These beasts are very smart!

Know the danger and run faster than anyone else.

"Fuck!"

Sun Qiang, who was hiding in the canopy of the tree, couldn't help but want to scold his mother.

Almost, really almost.

He was aiming at the wolf king. If someone hadn't shot suddenly and disrupted the rhythm, perhaps he would have wiped out the wolf pack that had been causing disaster for a long time.

However, the matter has come to this point, he can only accept his fate and make mistakes.

After all, the current hunting team is just a group of villagers, not an army that is truly prohibited. It is abnormal if there is no accident.

With a bang, Sun Qiang aimed at the wolves that were speeding away and pulled the trigger.

Immediately afterwards, a fat and strong wolf that was suspected to be the wolf king was shot to death by him.

The lead bullet hit the wolf's head very accurately, and the head exploded instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the men of the hidden hunting team also started shooting one after another.

There were crackling gunshots on the entire snow field, and in the blink of an eye, five or six wolves were shot.

The shrill howling of wolves resounded through the snow field!

There are also many people who use bows and arrows, and the sound of bowstrings chattering is endless.

Some skilled hunters can even accurately shoot arrows into the eye sockets of wolves.

Instant kill!

Some wild wolves were hit to the point and died immediately, such as the one that was shot in the head by Sun Qiang.

The brains splashed out directly, and it must be hopeless.

But there are also some wild wolves who are just shot in the body and let out a scream, but they are not dead, showing their strong vitality.

The rest of the wolves ran wildly, not daring to stay, and quickly disappeared on the snow field.

Except for those wild wolves killed by hunting teams.

There were two or three wounded wild wolves that could not run away, screaming miserably on the snow field.

Blood gushed out from the wound on the wolf's body, leaving several very obvious marks on the snow field.

However, in the face of these two or three injured wolves, members of the hunting team did not rush forward.

The trapped beast is still fighting!
It is not too much to be cautious.

They released the hounds they were holding one after another, and let the hounds deal with the injured wolves.

The hound was trembling with its tail between its legs when it was howling just now.

After seeing his master's great display of power, none of his legs trembled, and his tail didn't pinch.

With a barking cry, he pounced on it.

Otherwise, where did the term dog relying on people's power come from?
In the blink of an eye, those wolves that were still struggling after being injured were pinned to the ground by the hounds.

Although the strength of these hounds was not as strong as that of the wild wolf, they were not much worse. In addition, the wild wolf was injured, so there was no problem for them to take down the wild wolf.

The members of the hunting team rushed forward in an instant, and tied up the wounded wolves with ropes.

However, even now, those injured wolves are still untamed.

He kept baring his teeth, and let out low growls in his throat, as if he was deterring the hounds next to him.

Sun Qiang also came down from the tree, holding a musket in one hand and a military thorn in the other.

He strode up to the wounded wolves, and asked the members of the hunting team around him.

"Is everyone all right? Nobody hurt?"

When everyone heard the words, they spoke one after another.

"Boss, we're fine!"

"Haha, no one was hurt. The wolves ran away as soon as the gun was fired. What can we do?"

"Yes, yes, sir, six, we killed a full six wolves."

"..."

Everyone was chatting about something.

Sun Qiang nodded and said.

"very good!"

"Six wild wolves, even if we go back now, this trip is not in vain."

While speaking, Sun Qiang leaned down and without hesitation stabbed the military thorn in the throat of a still struggling wild wolf.

The sharp military thorn pierced the wolf's throat very smoothly. Sun Qiang turned his wrist, turning with the military thorn, and pushed the wolf's trachea and blood vessels away.

Then pull out the army thorn!

Warm blood gushed out from the wound, and the wolf, which was still struggling just now, became silent in an instant.

During this process, Sun Qiang's eyes did not change at all.

When he was on the battlefield, he didn't know how many people he killed, so how could he care about the life and death of a beast.

Seeing this, the rest of them followed suit and ended the lives of these wild wolves.

Sun Qiang looked up at the sun, guessing that it was already afternoon.

Slowly let out a mouthful of turbid air, and then spoke.

"It's getting late, and it's too late to hurry today."

"Get ready to camp and rest in place!"

"Tomorrow morning, we are going to continue going into the mountains. These few wolves alone are not enough for us to celebrate the New Year."

Each of the six wolves can sell for about 30 silver dollars, but the hunting team has more than 30 people, so one point is not much.

If it is in the customs, it is not a problem to double the price, whether it is wolf skin or wolf meat, it is a good thing.

But this is outside the pass, and the most indispensable thing in the wild is wild beasts.

Just a few wolves really can't sell the price!
Everyone around heard the words and spoke one after another.

"Okay!"

"Let's continue into the mountains."

"By the way, I heard that there seem to be big insects infesting the mountains recently, everyone should be careful."

"..."

Sun Qiang nodded and said.

"It is indeed necessary to be careful, but if we don't enter the depths of the mountain, nothing will happen."

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard the words, expressing their approval.

Immediately, they set up camp and built fires to cook.

The ingenious Zhang Jinsheng undertook the main task. He led people to set up the tent, and spread a layer of animal skin on the ground to keep warm.

While Zhang Jinsheng set up the tent with his hands, the others also prepared dinner.

A cauldron was set on the fire.

The flames of the bonfire licked the bottom of the pot, and the meat porridge gurgled in the pot, giving off a tempting aroma.

The meat porridge is very thick, with plenty of rice, salt, and a lot of dried shrimp, dried fish, and even dried whale meat for seasoning.

Their side is near the sea, and they lack everything, except for the catch.

These villagers usually eat a lot of fish.

This kind of meat porridge may not be fine enough, but it tastes pretty good.

Replenishment of energy is also possible!

Zhang Jinsheng scooped up a bowl of meat porridge, then took out a few pieces of dry food from his backpack and soaked them in the meat porridge.

After the dry food was softened, he ate it in small bites.

Throughout the camp, laughter continued.

Sun Qiang also ate the meat porridge while gnawing on the jerky in his backpack to replenish his energy.

If you want to replenish energy, you still have to eat meat.

From time to time, I took out shochu and drank a sip to keep warm.

As time passed, the sun gradually set.

The light between the sky and the earth also dimmed a little bit.

The dawn stars and the waning moon appeared in the sky, which was very beautiful.

In this age without pollution, the beauty of the sky is amazing.

Except for a few people left to be responsible for the night watch, the rest of the people all got into the tent to rest.

When it was midnight, everyone fell asleep.

Although it was very cold on the snow field at night, everyone was dressed thickly, huddled together, and had tents to keep out the cold, so it was no problem to sleep.

Sun Qiang guessed that it was almost his turn to be on duty at night, so he got out of the tent rubbing his sleepy eyes.

A burst of cold sweat rushed to his face, and Sun Qiang shrank his neck subconsciously.

Then he retracted his hands into his sleeves.

Slowly exhaling a foul breath, Sun Qiang walked towards the fire.

Now, a man named Jin Changjie is in charge of night watch by the fire.

A Korean, born as a Orion, a few years ago when the Manchu Qing invaded North Korea, he took his family through the mountains and escaped from North Korea to Daming.

Then it settled down!

Although his personality is a bit dull and honest, he is down-to-earth and hard-working, and he has lived a good life these years.

His family now also has the household registration of Daming. To be precise, he should be a Daming of the Korean ethnicity, but he cannot be said to be a Korean.

If anyone says that he is from North Korea, Jin Changjie, who is usually very good-tempered, will be impatient.

Sun Qiang came to the fire, patted Jin Changjie on the shoulder, and said.

"Leave it to me here, Ajin, go and rest, you have to get up early tomorrow!"

Jin Changjie didn't refuse when he heard the words, he nodded and said.

"Well, team... Captain, be careful, if you need it, call me anytime!"

Jin Changjie's Chinese is not fluent, but the sincerity in his words cannot be faked.

Jin Changjie's personality is a bit like a giving personality, the kind that believes that suffering is a blessing.

Generally, as long as someone asks him to help, he will not refuse.

Sun Qiang sat down where Jin Changjie was just now, and Jin Changjie was also preparing to return to the tent to rest.

But at this moment, Jin Changjie's movements suddenly froze, his ears moved, and the originally relaxed expression on his face suddenly became serious.

"Captain, something is wrong, I seem to hear some movement."

When Sun Qiang heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn, and his ears pricked up.

Then, Sun Qiang's expression also changed, and he also heard some movement.

Amid the crackling sound of burning firewood, there was the faint sound of snow being trampled on.

Although it was subtle, Sun Qiang heard it.

When he was in the army, he also participated in the selection training for scouting pioneers, but it was a pity that he failed to pass.

In the selection and training of Daming's scouting vanguard, survival in the wilderness is the most important item.

He just didn't pay attention just now, but now that Jin Changjie reminded him, he also noticed something was wrong.

"Something is coming!"

"It sounds like a pack of wolves."

Sun Qiang said.

Jin Changjie also nodded vigorously and said.

"Yes, when I was in North Korea, I used to go hunting, and I often fought against these vengeful beasts."

"Listen to the movement!"

Sun Qiang took a deep breath, and then began to reload the musket in his hand in an orderly manner, and said while reloading.

"Ajin, go and call people, get everyone up and get ready! I'll go and call those hounds."

"Damn it, these damn beasts are coming to seek death again!"

After saying that, Sun Qiang got up from the ground, and went to call the hounds resting in the camp.

It didn't take long for the camp to prepare for the attack of the wild wolves.

All the men wore thick padded jackets with furs wrapped around them. They held muskets or bows and arrows and formed a circle around the fire.

The hounds also grinned one after another, barking into the darkness.

Jin Changjie held a hunting bow in his hand, bent the bow and set an arrow, with sharp eyes, ready to draw the string and shoot at any time.

His archery skills are very precise, and he shot the arrow that hit the wild wolf in the eye today.

The cold wind was blowing, the cold wind invaded, and it hurt people's skin.

The fire behind him was still burning, and there was a crackling sound from time to time, providing heat for the men of the hunting team.

In front of and behind him, the cold and the scorching heat are like two heavens of ice and fire, which makes people feel very difficult.

In the dark night, there was the faint howling of wolves.

Terrible and distant, very scary.

The men of these hunting teams were forced to cheer up and dare not rest at all.

"Captain, we are probably being targeted by wolves, what should we do now?"

Zhang Jinsheng held the musket in his hand and looked at the darkness in the distance. He didn't know whether it was because of the cold or fear, his hands trembled slightly.

When Sun Qiang heard the words, he just shook his head and said.

"Don't panic!"

"It's not long before dawn at this point, and when it dawns, the wolves will disperse."

At most, the wolves wanted to take advantage of the darkness to attack them. When it was dawn, the wolves would definitely not dare to be tough with them.

After all, the guns in their hands are not vegetarian!
As time went by, the wolves in the night pounced and approached and harassed them from time to time, but they were all frightened away by the hunting team's muskets and bows and arrows.

Just when the hunting team couldn't bear it any longer, the moon in the sky began to fall slowly.

The golden sun jumped out from the horizon, and the sun shone, turning the snow field into a golden yellow. The light golden sun shone on people's bodies, making people feel warm.

Even if the severe cold last night had not subsided completely, after the sun came out, it would be much better.

At this moment, there was a stern howl of wolves in the distance.

Black dots emerged from under the snow, and then quickly left the hunting team's sight.

However, although these wild wolves left, their unwillingness and resentment were extremely obvious.

Seeing this scene, Sun Qiang raised his gun and aimed at the distance and pulled the trigger.

There was a bang, the smoke filled the air, and a projectile shot not far from the wolves.

The speed at which the wolves withdrew seemed even more alarming.

"Damn it!"

Sun Qiang couldn't help but swear.

Because he knew that there was a high probability that he and others were being targeted by wolves.

"The revenge of these beasts is really not ordinary!"

"Captain. What shall we do next?"

A man on the side couldn't help asking.

Sun Qiang's face was a bit ugly, but he still spoke very calmly.

"Don't panic!"

"Everyone take a rest in the morning, recover your spirit and strength, and after lunch, let's prepare to return."

Since they were targeted by the wolves, they must not be able to continue into the mountain.

Otherwise, it is estimated that something will really happen.

Thinking about these messy things, all the people spoke one after another.

"Hey, it's just a pity that we haven't been able to hunt enough prey this winter."

"Yeah, I'm still thinking about buying a new dress for my mother-in-law this year..."

"..."

Sun Qiang was not annoyed when he heard the words, he just coughed lightly, and then spoke.

"Okay, let's not say a few words!"

"Safety is the most important thing!"

After all, a group of people returned to their tents to rest.

After tossing around in the middle of the night, many people were tired.

At noon, after lunch, a group of people set off to return.

Both the game and the salute were thrown on the sledge and pulled away by the hounds.

Sun Qiang and Jin Changjie stood in front of the team, looking around vigilantly.

Others in the team were also carrying muskets, bows and arrows, and their faces were full of vigilance.

The shrill howling of wolves came from time to time in the distance, and everyone could tell that the wolves were still following them.

In the evening, the team stopped to set up camp again!
Some people are going to set up tents, while others go into the forest together to collect firewood.

Ready for heating and cooking, and more importantly lighting.

In this wilderness, it is impossible to do without lighting.

Sun Qiang entered the forest, climbed to a tree, and looked at the snow field in the distance.

The snow field was covered with white patches everywhere, and he knew the approximate direction of the wolves, but he couldn't find the exact location of the wolves.

After watching for a while and confirming that there was no result, Sun Qiang turned over and jumped off the big tree, and then returned to the camp with his people.

However, just as he left the forest, someone greeted him to report.

"Captain, something happened!"

"Si'er just found a bunch of footprints of big bugs in the woods."

When Sun Qiang heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Then it was extremely dignified.

"I'm sure it's the footprints of the tiger, didn't I read it wrong?"

If only wolves were staring at them now, although it was dangerous, Sun Qiang would not be afraid.

But if it's a tiger, that's a different story.

The threats that tigers and wolves can bring to humans are not on the same level!

A wolf is a thing that weighs at most tens of catties, which is a bigger dog.

If it wasn't for the large number, Sun Qiang would be a sliding shovel even if he dared to go up.

As for tigers, they can easily weigh several hundred kilograms!
This thing can't move with a sliding shovel!
The size gap between the two sides is not so big!
If it was against wolves, as long as the muskets in Sun Qiang's and others' hands hit, they could cause damage.

And what about tigers?
In the face of a tiger with rough skin and thick flesh, a musket is useless unless it can hit the vital point.

Once they encountered a tiger, the risk factor would definitely soar.

The consequences are unimaginable!
They might all be wiped out.

Sun Qiang took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"Keep this matter a secret, and don't tell anyone!"

The reason why Sun Qiang gave such orders was because he was afraid that after the news spread, everyone would break out into chaos due to fear.

After hearing the news of tigers appearing suddenly, even he, a veteran who is used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, was a little afraid, let alone other people.

Once there is chaos among the people, the consequences will be disastrous!
Seeing the seriousness and solemnity on Sun Qiang's face, the man opposite him didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly nodded and said.

"Captain's direction, I understand!"

Sun Qiang returned to the camp full of thoughts. Jin Changjie came to him with a bow and arrow on his back, and said with a very serious face.

"Captain, there may be tigers around here."

The tiger in Sun Qiang's mouth refers to the tiger.

Sun Qiang nodded slightly at him, then nodded in response.

"I know, someone has come to report to me just now!"

"What should I do now!"

Sun Qiang rubbed the center of his brows, with a look of sadness on his face.

There was a bad premonition in his heart, and he felt that something might happen.

Jin Changjie said in a low voice.

"Why don't I set a trap and try to take down that big bug?"

Hearing this, Sun Qiang showed an interested expression on his face, and then asked.

"Is this true? Is it feasible?"

Jin Changjie said when he heard the words.

"I once fought a tiger with the master in the village, which can be regarded as some experience."

"If the trap is set, it may be feasible..."

Just when the two were discussing in low voices.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

"..."

The hounds in the camp suddenly went crazy, bared their teeth and roared outside the camp.

However, as time went by, the roar of those hounds became smaller and smaller.

By the end, the hound's growl turned into a frightened whimper.

Looking at each other, Sun Qiang and Jin Changjie seemed to realize something.

Sun Qiang hastily shouted at the top of his voice.

"Everyone has it, ready to fight, just load double doses, use all slugs, don't use iron sand, I compacted all the bullets!"

In the face of top predators like tigers, if it is loaded normally, it is really not sure whether the musket can break the defense.

In order to ensure that the defense could be broken, Sun Qiang directly ordered someone to double the dose.

As for whether the musket loaded with double the amount of charge would explode, he could no longer care so much.

Most of the muskets of the hunting team were bought from gun shops run by the imperial court, and many of them were even second-hand goods retired from the army.

The quality is still guaranteed!
Generally speaking, if you only force the charge a few times occasionally, the chance of bombing the chamber is not high.

Furthermore, with the threat of a tiger ahead, the risk of bombing is acceptable.

Many people in the camp looked nervous. A group of people gathered together, looking at the direction where the hound was barking just now, their faces were all guarded.

Suddenly, a tiger's howl that pierced into the soul resounded in the forest.

"Roar!"

"Hooho~"

Several tiger roars sounded, one after another, as if they were echoing each other.

The faces of many people in the camp changed drastically.

Sun Qiang's pupils were even more shocked, is there more than one tiger?
Listening to this voice, there must be at least three or four heads.

This time it's really fucking dead!

At the same time, at the moment when the roar of the tiger sounded, there was also the howling of wild wolves on the white snow field in the distance.

Wild wolves suddenly appeared on the snowfield, and then ran away.

No matter how much these beasts hold their grudges, they dare not face the real top predators.

Watching the pack of wolves that had been chasing their side and disappearing with their tails between their legs, Sun Qiang and the others couldn't be happier at all.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back.

The situation they are facing now is that there are wolves in the front and tigers in the back!

At this moment, accompanied by a rattling sound, a colorful tiger came out of the forest stepping on the snow.

The big tiger with hanging eyes and white forehead is nearly ten feet long and as strong as an ox.

There is a large "king" shaped white spot on the forehead, black and yellow patterns all over the body, a few white hair spots on the chest, abdomen and inside of the limbs, and the thick black and yellow fur is smooth and smooth.

Looks like there is no shortage of food!

As soon as it walked out of the woods, the tiger raised its head and let out a roar.

The tiger roars in the mountains and the forest, and the beasts are terrified. These words are not just words.

And behind this big tiger, there are three other tigers, one big, two small.

You can tell at a glance that this is a family of four.

Sun Qiang and the others looked at the four tigers that appeared in front of them, all of them trembled violently.

Many people's legs were so weak that they couldn't hold the guns in both hands.

If you don't face them directly, you will never imagine how much pressure you will face when facing a few tigers.

Sun Qiang took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

"Throw all the prey we hunted out of the camp. I hope these big worms can leave by themselves after eating the prey."

While speaking, Sun Qiang ordered people to throw the six wild wolves in the camp outside the camp.

Although discarding the prey will make them return empty-handed this trip.

But if these prey can be exchanged for the hunting party to return home safely, it is also worth it.

At any time, human life is always the first priority.

As the hunting team threw the six wild wolves outside the camp, the tigers also walked towards their prey.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the tigers sniffed the wolf's corpse a few times, and then opened their mouths to eat.

The wolf's fur can hardly form any hindrance under the tiger's sharp teeth!
Four tigers ate six wild wolves, and soon, the bodies of those six wild wolves were eaten and wiped clean.

Only some minced meat and bones, and scattered hairs remained in place...

However, to the despair of Sun Qiang and others, those tigers had no intention of leaving after eating their prey.

The two big ones began to circle around the camp, raising their heads and roaring from time to time, showing the majesty of the king of the forest.

The two little ones stood together, grinning continuously towards the direction of the camp.

It can be said to be full of malice!
"Captain, we can't go on like this anymore, if we continue to waste, I'll just sit and wait!"

Jin Changjie clenched the hunting bow in his hand, looked at the sun gradually setting in the distance, and said.

It was still dark and the tiger had just eaten, so it did not attack the camp.

But when it got dark and the view from the camp was blocked, the tigers would definitely pounce on them.

Sun Qiang also fixed his eyes, and then spoke.

"Made, since these beasts won't give us a way out, let's fight!"

"Let's see who dies first!"

"The threat from the two small ones is limited, let's focus on killing the two big ones first."

There was a murderous look in Sun Qiang's voice.

Back then on the battlefield, he dared to charge in the face of the artillery fire of the Qing army, how could he be afraid of a few beasts now.

Everyone heard the words and nodded to express their understanding.

Everyone clenched their muskets tightly.

Sun Qiang began to assign tasks to everyone, and the muzzles of each black hole aimed at the two big worms.

Sun Qiang also raised his gun, aiming at the head of a big bug at three o'clock and one line.

Jin Changjie on the side also fully drew the bowstring, and the bowstring made a crunching sound when it was strained.

"put!"

Sun Qiang shouted, and then pulled the trigger.

Jin Changjie also let go of the bowstring almost at the same time.

The next moment, the gunshot rang out, and the double charge of gunpowder exploded instantly in the barrel.

Then the lead bullets in the barrel were squeezed out!

The recoil erupted instantly, and Sun Qiang's body was even thrown back suddenly.

The projectile shot at the colorful tiger in front of him.

The fierce tiger's intuition as the king of the forest exploded, causing it to turn its head the moment Sun Qiang shot.

With a bang, the buckshot hit the tiger.

However, because the tiger tilted its head, the ballistic of the lead bullet deviated after hitting, and it just flew past the bone.

A ball of blood exploded, and the tiger's face was punched with lead bullets. There were faint bones, and even one of its ears was knocked off.

The huge force brought by the lead bullet made the tiger's head stunned and his figure a little unstable!

But that's all, Sun Qiang's shot couldn't kill this big guy weighing two to three hundred kilograms.

On the other side, the arrow shot by Jin Changjie also hit the tiger's face and entered its eye socket.

But it is also a pity that the hunting bow used by Jin Changjie is not strong enough to kill a tiger with one arrow.
