As for Li Shimin, Li Xuan and others, they followed Xue Rengui and other main members of the Musket Battalion with curious expressions on their faces.
They had only shot straw, armor, and trees with muskets before.
But he has never used a musket to shoot wild animals in the mountains.
Everyone is full of curiosity.
However, the entire musketeer battalion had searched the mountains for a quarter of an hour, but they had yet to encounter a single living creature.
"Xuanba, why is this?"
Li Shimin was already a little impatient.
"Your Majesty, it's winter right now, and there aren't many wild animals to begin with. In addition, after the sound of the mountain explosion just now, the wild animals near the iron mines have already been frightened and fled for an unknown distance."
Li Xuan explained.
At this time, Xue Rengui, who was searching ahead, also realized this and directly sent several teams of scouts to search for prey.
The army followed behind.
Regarding all this, Li Xuan didn't say anything, but just followed him from a distance.
Cheng Zhijie, Li Shimin and others were also a little anxious.
But Li Xuan didn't say anything, so they just endured it.
After all, this hunt is related to the entire Thunder Army's food for half a month, and they cannot be disturbed in any way.
A quarter of an hour later.
Finally, a group of scouts ran back from the front.
"Reporting to Captain Xue, we found a group of black-faced men ahead!"
"Where?"
Xue Rengui was overjoyed.
"Captain, I'm basking in the sun in a sunny earthen nest under the two hills ahead!"
The scout quickly replied.
"How many are there in total?"
Xue Rengui asked again.
"Captain, three big ones and six small ones!" the scout replied.
"Are there other wild animals hiding around the black-faced man?" Xue Rengui continued to ask.
If it were left on a hot day, no other wild animals would come back to stare at those black-faced men. However, it is winter now, and there is a shortage of food in the mountains. These wild animals, all the wild animals have run out of food.
Not to mention a black-faced man, even a blind black bear will find wild animals that are so hungry that they dare to rush in and fight.
"Returning to the school, sir, I found no traces of other wild animals!"
The scout thought about it for a moment and then said.
"Separate fifty soldiers and follow me to hunt down the black-faced man!"
Xue Rengui ordered.
Xue Rengui did not dare to lead too many soldiers, as the wild animals in the mountains were very vigilant.
If you bring too many people, you can scare away the gang of black-faced men before they even get close.
Moreover, there are only nine black-faced warriors. No matter how many soldiers you bring, with a few shots, those black-faced warriors will be smashed to pieces.
Not to mention taking it home to eat, just picking out a big piece of meat is pretty good.
Soon, fifty soldiers followed Xue Rengui and walked forward quickly.
Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others followed far behind.
The same goes for the remaining musketry battalion soldiers.
After climbing over the hill in front of them, they all saw nine black-faced men in the earthen nest in the distance.
Everyone took out a clairvoyant directly from their arms.
Yes, everyone.
Not only Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others, but also the entire Thunder Army, every soldier is equipped with a clairvoyant.
Through clairvoyance, they saw Xue Rengui leading fifty soldiers slowly surrounding the group of black-faced men.
Then, when he was still fifty steps away from the black-faced man, as Xue Rengui's hands rose and fell, twenty-five muskets sprayed fire at the nine black-faced men at the same time.
In an instant, before those black-faced men could react, masses of blood burst out from their bodies.
There were also a few smaller ones that exploded on the spot!
"Easy!"
Standing in the distance, Li Xuan nodded slowly, Xue Rengui was fully prepared for this move.
On the side, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie, Li Ji and others were shocked at first, and then their faces were full of regret.
"well!"
"A few good black-faced men were beaten like this?"
"What a waste, these little bastards are such a waste!"
"Your Majesty, I, Lao Cheng, should be allowed to lead the musket camp. Xue Rengui is still a bit young and cannot grasp the power of muskets!"
"Bah, you old black thief, you are a great general of the Right Armed Guard, and you go to serve as a captain in a musketeer camp with only 2,000 soldiers. You want me to be a fool!"
Li Shimin glared at Cheng Zhijie.
"Your Majesty, these two thousand musketry battalions are not ordinary troops. If they occupy good terrain, even if they come with twenty thousand elite soldiers, they will not be able to annihilate them!"
Cheng Zhijie muttered.
"If that's the case, then you will have to work as an errand under Mao Gong."
Li Shimin said angrily.
"Hey, if it's an army like the Musket Battalion, it's not impossible to be under Third Brother's command!"
Cheng Zhijie said without caring at all.
"You black bear, don't come here to harm me. With your murderous nature, if you are really allowed to take these two thousand musket battalions, I am afraid that as soon as you leave the Tang Dynasty, you can take these two thousand men to hit Goguryeo." Go to Pyongyang City!”
Li Ji looked disgusted.
At this moment, after observing that there was no movement around him, Li Xuan walked towards Xue Rengui in front.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others hurriedly followed.
"hiss……"
After seeing the miserable appearance of those black-faced men at close range, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but subconsciously take a deep breath of air.
"If this shot hits a person, wouldn't it be able to punch a hole as big as a bowl in the person's stomach?"
"Roughly the same!"
Li Xuan also nodded with some satisfaction and said: "Without armor, no living creature can survive a gun within fifty steps!"
"enough!"
Li Shimin, Li Ji and others nodded, and after reading, they walked aside.
Let Xue Rengui handle it by himself.
"Someone is coming!"
After receiving the signal, Xue Rengui shouted directly to the surrounding soldiers.
"Every two hundred people carry a black-faced man, and use these black-faced men as bait to lure wild animals in the mountains."
"Yes, Sir Captain!"
Hearing this, the soldiers who followed behind quickly divided themselves into nine teams. Each team carried a black-faced man, even the little fur scattered by the black-faced man was not spared.
Scattered away.
Most of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were good at hunting.
As for using black-faced men to lay out bait, they are even better at it.
Find a hilltop and light a fire.
Then, sprinkle some seasoning on the black noodle meat.
Or, you can directly clean out the black-faced man's internal organs at a vent, then light a fire, and put the black-faced man's internal organs aside to keep them warm so that they will not freeze.
The mountain wind will naturally blow the bloody smell to every corner of the mountain.
Just leave a few soldiers to guard the fire, and just show a clear warning.
The rest of the soldiers hid directly.
In such a mountain where famine occurs anytime and anywhere, the smell of blood and meat is an unimaginable temptation for those hungry beasts.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
The jackals, tigers, leopards, and even two blind bears in this forest slowly surrounded me.
"Hey, Your Majesty, there are quite a lot of wild animals in this mountain."
In the middle, on the top of the highest mountain.
Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others, as well as a group of soldiers who lost their bomb camp and arrow camp.
They each held up a clairvoyant eye and looked at it with interest.
Around them, on several hills not far away, were the "hunting positions" of a group of musketry battalions.
If a tent is set up above the heads of Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others, it will really feel like the director's viewing department during acting.
