Chapter 88 Wild Boar Herd

Ever since he saw the footprints of the herd of pigs that day, Xu Shiyan had also pondered in his heart what method he should use if he wanted to kill this herd of pigs.

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

"The captains of several hunting teams each took two people with me, we have to go and track them down first."

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

Now I don’t know anything, so I’m just talking nonsense here, it’s useless.

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

Moreover, Xu Shiyan's arrangement was reasonable, and no one else could find fault with it.

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

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

Everyone set off from Xigang Commune and headed west all the way.

After crossing the Shitou River, I saw a large area of ​​wild boar footprints, covering the entire hillside. It seemed that the scale was larger than what Xu Shiyan saw before.

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

This pig, I'm afraid it is not small, not to mention a thousand catties, seven or eight hundred catties can't run away.

"Captain Xu, where are we going to chase now?"

When they first came out, the other captains were somewhat unconvinced. After seeing the footprints all over the mountain, they had nothing else to say.

"Go, keep going. These are the footprints left yesterday. I guess the group of pigs should be near Bajianfang today."

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

From this, it can be roughly judged where the group of pigs can be found next.

Eight rooms, is a place name.

Before the establishment of the village, four farmers built eight houses to live here, so after the establishment of the village, it was called eight houses.

There are about forty families in this place, which are under the jurisdiction of Dongling Brigade.

Just five or six miles south of Bajianfang, there is a large piece of walnut catalpa, also known as hickory forest.

There is nothing to eat at this time of year, and the wild boar is probably looking for pecans to eat in the snow in the walnut forest.

Xu Shiyan had a judgment in his heart, so he approached the walnut catalpa forest in no hurry.

Instead, he led people around the forest in a big circle. Sure enough, only wild boars entered the forest, but there was no sign of them leaving the forest.

"Come on, let's go in quietly. Don't shoot rashly. If those pigs are disturbed, it will be difficult to fight if they break up."

Xu Shiyan instructed everyone, and led them into the forest.

At this time, the snow on the mountain has been deposited all winter, with a hard cover on the top and sand on the bottom.

When people step on it, it doesn't creak like fresh snow, but it feels like stepping on the sand, making a swishing sound.

The sound was not loud, and could easily be covered by the howling wind in the forest. This was an excellent opportunity, and everyone walked forward cautiously, trying not to make any noise.

This piece of walnut catalpa forest is very big, there is a big ditch pond at the bottom, and at this moment, the group of wild boars are under the big ditch pond, constantly digging the snow, looking for hickory nuts from the snow.

When everyone looked down from the uphill slope of the ditch pond, they saw a large area at the bottom, all of which were wild boars.

It was a little far away, and those wild boars kept arching the snow, and the arched snow was blown up by the wind, which was almost like fog, and the sight was blocked, so it was not so clear.

Looking vaguely, there are hundreds of pigs at least, and there seems to be a big guy among the pigs.

Xu Shiyan gestured to the crowd, and the group quietly exited the walnut forest without daring to make any noise.

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

After leaving the forest, Xu Shiyan spoke.

It was already afternoon, and the sun was shining on the west slope of the ditch pond. The pigs must be resting in the forest tonight, and they will continue to move forward tomorrow morning.

As long as they surround the place before the wild boars nest, they won't be afraid of the wild boars running away.

Everyone had already convinced Xu Shiyan at this moment, so they naturally listened to him, so the group hurried back.

When I came here, I followed the trail of wild boars and took a lot of 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 guys found a place to live in Xigang Commune.

NO.18 In the morning, before dawn, everyone got up, dealt with a bite of food, and then assembled and set off.

After walking for more than two hours, I came to the walnut catalpa forest.

When he arrived here, Xu Shiyan began to arrange manpower and set up hunting plans.

There were hundreds of them in their line, and it was impossible for them to swarm up and shoot immediately. Then the wild boar would run away after being frightened, and the two-legged ones could not run as fast as the four-legged ones.

Moreover, there are many people and accidents are easy to happen. After all, bullets don't have eyes, so what if they hurt someone?
Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to tactical cooperation, preparation of steps, and blocking in batches to prevent wild boars from escaping the encirclement.

Xu Shiyan led the people from the Dongjiangyan brigade to enter from the east of the walnut forest, and the people from the Dongling and Nanling brigades surrounded them 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. After the Dongling and Nanling brigades heard the gunshots, they outflanked the wild boars to the west."

"The west is divided into sections, and the firepower is concentrated on the slope. If the wild boars escape, be sure to stop them and try to destroy them all."

I checked the terrain yesterday and found that the slope on the west side of the ditch pond was steep. Shooting from the east, south, and north sides could kill a lot of pigs.

The rest of the pigs must have fled towards the west slope. The west slope is steep, and the wild boars must be slower to go uphill than downhill. It is easier for the people on the slope to fight down.

Everyone thought it was reasonable, so the captains of each brigade led people to ambush in designated positions around the walnut forest according to the agreed plan.

Here, Xu Shiyan led a group of people from the Dongjiangyan Brigade and changed into the white coats they borrowed from the commune hospital last night.

These people want to get as close to the wild boar herd as possible, and then attack suddenly.

The 20 people were distributed in a fan pattern, each with a gun in their hand, and walked cautiously into the woods.

Wild boars are lazy, they only lay down to rest when they were full last night, and they won't wake up until ten o'clock this morning.

The vigilance of a sleeping wild boar is naturally much lower.

In addition, the wind was still blowing in the woods today, and the twenty or so people were walking scattered again, and the little movement was covered under the sound of the wind, and it was almost imperceptible.

Everyone didn't dare to walk too fast, and slowly approached the bottom of the ditch and pond.

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

Xu Shiyan waved his hand, telling everyone to take it easy, slow down, slow down, and lean forward as much as possible.

When they were less than [-] meters away from the herd of wild boars, everyone pulled down the safety guards and took aim with their guns.

Bang bang bang, gunshots rang out, and then there was a howling of wild boars.

　Another five chapters have been updated, let me take a breather, maybe there will be more tonight.
