Chapter 1067(1/2)
It turns out that bears that don't sleep in the winter are very rare.
After walking aimlessly in the forest for two hours, I didn't even see any fur from any animal, let alone a bear.
There are dry branches everywhere, and occasionally there are one or two dry leaves, which stubbornly stay on the dead branches and refuse to fall off.
The forest in front is a coniferous pine forest, and the thick needles falling on the ground look like a large yellow carpet.
The feet feel loose and soft, so you need to be careful when walking. Because if you accidentally step on a stone or an exposed tree root, your foot will be sprained.
Walking in the forest is actually a very physically demanding thing.
Especially since you have to hold a gun, carry a small backpack, and carry a water bottle around your waist!
If you are physically exhausted, you will need to drink more water.
I don’t know why, but the air here seems to be very dry. I even feel like my throat is getting stretched when I breathe for a long time.
You can only drink water in small sips to moisten your throat, so a kettle is a must.
Don't drink too much. If you drink too much, you will sweat more.
Wearing thick cotton clothes and sweating is as uncomfortable as it feels.
The old monkey was wearing a training hat with a steel helmet buckled on it. Li Lin didn't like wearing a steel helmet. The helmet weighed five kilograms and made his neck sore after a long time.
But the old monkey didn't care about this and resolutely stopped Li Lin from taking off the helmet.
If something happens to this brother, it cannot be solved by walking around without food.
Li Lin, who had never hunted before, had no idea that hunting was not random at all, running around aimlessly.
Real hunting requires long-term observation. Then a large group of people form an encirclement with purpose.
Make as much noise as possible to drive the animals together before you can start hunting.
There is a lot of military knowledge involved here. I think Genghis Khan trained his troops through hunting.
Legend has it that Nurhachi also trained his troops in this way!
Li Lin didn't know this at all, so he just ran around in the forest as if he was lucky.
Whichever animal he hits is definitely his luck!
But for animals, that's unfortunate.
"There is a cave over there." Li Hao immediately became interested when he saw the cave.
Many people have told him that caves are definitely where ferocious beasts live. In mountains, wherever there are caves, there must be ferocious beasts.
"Block the entrance to the cave!" Li Lin ordered immediately after arriving not far from the entrance of the cave.
In fact, he didn't need to order, there were already more than a dozen rifles aimed at the entrance of the hole. If anything jumped out of the hole, it would be mercilessly beaten into a sieve.
The hound was released, and after a while, the sound of barking came from the cave. It was clear that something was found in the cave.
Li Lin wanted to go in, but was pushed behind a stone by the old monkey.
"You two, get in!" The old monkey casually pointed his gun at the two Mongolians.
"No!" The Mongolian also knew that this was not a good job, but he still walked into the cave tremblingly.
After coming here for a while, a Mongolian came out.
"There are no animals in there, but there are two dead people and one who is dying."
Hearing this, the old monkey breathed a sigh of relief.
After taking a look at the man who climbed up the tree, he released Li Lin from behind the stone.
We entered the cave with a torch. Even though it was winter, the smell of death still filled the air.
Walking into the cave entrance only three or four meters away, I smelled something like blood but not blood.
Two corpses were lying on the ground, their faces had been chewed to pieces by unknown things. Their ears were still half-stretched, and their noses were completely gone.
The flesh on his cheeks had been chewed clean, revealing his strong white teeth.
The exposed hands were not much better, and one person's hands were nowhere to be found.
There were many signs of being torn on the clothes on his body, but it seemed that they were not torn apart because the fur was thicker.
When Li Lin entered, he disturbed a group of rats that were having a meal. The little guys squeaked and ran away, but they didn't run very far, and they squatted in a dark place and stared at the place.
There was a disgusting smell and two extremely disgusting corpses. Li Lin threw up as soon as he shook his head!
The old monkey didn't feel any discomfort at all. He just glanced at the two corpses without any intention of checking them.
At the same time, he also stopped his subordinates from checking!
"On the battlefield, don't search for corpses. How do you know if there is something underneath the corpse?"
"What will be under the corpse?" Li Lin looked at the old monkey in confusion. He didn't understand what the old monkey meant.
"Haha! Someone will stuff a pressure grenade under the corpse, or plant a mine next to the corpse.
As long as you check the corpse, it will explode if you flip it.
Maybe you won't die, but you will definitely be injured. Maybe you will lose a leg, or you will lose an eye.
Anyway, at such a close distance, it would be a fool's errand to escape unscathed." The old monkey walked around the two corpses and came to the dying man.
This person’s situation is quite miserable!
Half of his face was covered in rotten flesh, and if it was summer, it would be crawling with maggots. His cheeks had exposed gums, and several teeth were missing.
He has fair skin and golden hair. The most eye-catching thing is the revolver he holds in his other hand.
The revolver is silver in color, and the grip is inlaid with two pieces of lacquered wood. The grip is also covered with a layer of leather.
This is a Chechen revolver. Such a complicated handle is designed to prevent your hands from getting too cold when holding the gun in winter.
In the Ming army, few people use revolvers anymore.
There are only six rounds of ammunition available, so changing bullets is troublesome. The only advantage is that it won’t jam!
In comparison, box cannons are much better.
It has twenty rounds of ammunition. If you add a small grip, it will look like a small machine gun.
The long barrel ensures accurate shooting.
Li Lin saw with his own eyes that the guys in Li Xiao's guard could shoot magpies at a distance of fifty meters.
If you want to do this with a revolver, it's quite difficult.
"This guy is not a Russian!" He took another look at the kettle this man was carrying. It was not the Ming Dynasty kettle issued by the Russian army at all.
"Forget it!" the person behind suggested.
"This man's rifle is missing, and there are traces of ice on his legs. It looks like he escaped here. This guy is really powerful.
If you look at the bite marks on his body, it's obvious that he encountered a wolf.
It's really rare to survive being injured by a wolf." The old monkey walked around this guy.
The two men just did not check, and it was not clear from their appearance whether they were Russian soldiers.
But this guy is definitely not a Russian soldier.
"Since it's rare, then save him." Li Lin glanced at this guy.
"Take him back?" The old monkey was a little surprised. Although he thought this man was a bit virtuous, he never thought about taking him back.
You must know that it has been more than three hours since we came out, and the way back is not easy. Carrying more than 100 kilograms on the mountain road is a great test for physical strength.
Your young master will not betray my feelings!
"Yeah! Take it back, my dad told me. The prisoners captured on the battlefield are very important. Asking for some things will be very beneficial to future battles.
This is called battlefield intelligence!" Li Lin was patient.
The Ming Dynasty offered a bounty to the Mongols, but only for the heads of those Chechens.
Therefore, the Mongolian hunting team has not brought back a single living person so far.
Even those who surrendered with their guns raised would be kicked over and then beheaded with a machete.
Carrying a head is much better than carrying a burden. Anyway, when you return to Uralsk, you can collect the reward with just your head.
What's more important is that for every head you turn in, you can receive a one-pound bottle of Daming Laolongkou.
Mongolians like this kind of spirit very much. When guests come, they can drink a glass of Laolongkou, which is the most solemn treat.
The Mongols who followed Li Lin had a strong urge to kill this guy.
But since Li Lin said it, it's hard to say anything. When they see the captain company commander of the Ming Army, they will respect this young officer with respect.
The honest Mongolians could also see that this young officer must have a deep background.
He stepped on the man's hand and took the empty revolver in his hand. He found two branches to make a simple stretcher and helplessly carried it in turns.
Simon Haye opened his eyes and was a little excited to see that he was being carried. But he saw the camouflage uniforms on these people and the helmets with camouflage linings on their heads.
My heart suddenly went cold!
