Chapter 853

After three days of "hard battle", the improved new chariot was finally completed and then entered the road test stage. Zhao Bing asked the car to be filled with twelve soldiers, a gang leader and two chariots, and carried ten days of food and grass, three days of drinking water and three thousand rounds of spare ammunition. He also ordered them to complete the test of three-day long-distance extreme marching on the main road, muddy road, sand and gravel roads and bumpy roads in these ten days, and to record the situation of the war horses and chariots in detail, as well as repairing parts and maintenance on the way.

Zhao Bing certainly hoped to participate in this kind of long-distance outing of two cars on ten days and ten nights, but he just thought about it. If he followed, it would be not two cars, but a parade of ten thousand people. There were loess on the road and water pouring on the street, so everyone would take the car away! And what he could do now was to wait for the result, and to welcome Xie Ao, who went to welcome the coffin of the Empress Dowager, who had just arrived in Dadu, which means that he would have at least one month to roam outside.

In this way, Zhao Bing could travel as planned, and Zhao Mengjin, who had been fucking the Division and the Governor's Office for several days, wanted to go out for a relaxation. Of course, Chen Fenglin was not willing to fall behind and followed the boat with a stern face. Of course, he was willing to have a companion, so the three of them took a boat to Taihu Lake. After a year, they had changed things and things.

After fighting fiercely with the Mongolian Longwan Navy and the seaway grain transport soldiers, Zhao Bing ordered Chen Renweng to form an inland water army in Taihu Lake. Now that the training of each unit has been completed, they have gone to various places to guard the camp. Only one teaching team is built in the huge camp of the West Island. In order to help Chen Renweng start his own business, he once dispatched some officers and soldiers from the imperial navy to assist him. The leader of the left-behind teaching team was the guardian. Seeing that he was a familiar imperial ship, he immediately opened the water gate to welcome His Majesty into the camp.

There were less than 300 people left behind, and Zhao Bing had more than a thousand entourages, and the water camp was "occupied" by them, but they were definitely welcomed to be occupied by them. However, they were descended to logistics procurement personnel, and they had to drive a boat to the nearby grass market to purchase in the early morning. However, after years of development around Taihu Lake, it has become thousands of hectares of fertile land, especially the few wastelands near prefectures and counties, which is not a good place to hunt. If a large number of military troops were used to hunt, it would not only disturb the people, but also trample on the rice that was about to be harvested.

Zhao Bing also did not like the large-scale hunting of nomadic peoples that often dispatched tens of thousands of troops to drive away wild animals. He chose the hunting location west of Taihu Lake. According to the left-behind soldiers, it was Changxing County, which belonged to a hilly area and was not suitable for cultivation as arable land. Only the hill near the lake was turned into tea mountains, and it remained in a nearly primitive state, which was naturally also a hiding place for birds and beasts.

After a day of rest, Zhao Bing, Zhao Mengjin and Chen Fenglin each led their guards to the west of Huxi by boat, avoiding the living place to choose a land, and more than 20 people walked into the mountains with their equipment. After autumn, although the weather was not so cool, the rain was no longer as frequent as in summer, and there was some meaning of high and light clouds. As they went deeper, the road to pick the woodcutter had become a path of sheep, and the path further disappeared into the forest.

In the early autumn valley, the sun shines down from the gaps between the bamboo leaves, shining on the jungle ground in the mountains, forming various shapes of light and shadow. The bamboo leaves are blown by the wind and sway into green waves. In addition to their footsteps, the mountains are unique rustling sounds. A group of people walks in the lonely valley, bringing liveliness to the quiet forests.

There seemed to be no end in the rolling valley, and it was still very stuffy to walk in the woods. In front, Chen Dun led three guards to search and open up the road. Zhao Bing and two generals walked in the middle of the team, with their own personal guards walking alongside each other, and then there were more than a dozen "strong men" carrying heavy backpacks on their backs and finally, several gun-carried guards cut off the rear and guarded them.

Zhao Bing is wearing a military uniform today, with thick-soled cowhide boots under his feet, and leggings with legs; he tied his armed belt with his waist, and a bullet box and a dagger on his right and back, and a kettle on his left. He was carrying a medium-sized military backpack, which contained a pair of spare shoes and a thin blanket, two days of dry food and some debris; he was carrying a musket with a bayonet removed on his shoulder. After walking through the mountains for more than an hour, everyone was already sweating profusely. Although he was a little gasping, he was not as panting as Zhao Mengjin, with only one gun left on his shoulder, and the rest had already been transferred to his guards.

"Your Majesty, there is an open space in front and two abandoned wooden houses. You can rest for a while!" Chen Dun trotted over and said.

"Okay!" Zhao Bing silently remembered the steps along the way. It should have been seven or eight miles into the mountain, and there were no traces of people. Seeing that Zhao Mengjin was not tired, he was quite expectant in his eyes. He nodded and said.

He walked forward not far, turned over a bamboo forest, and a gentle slope appeared in front of him. A wooden house was hidden in the bamboo forest. What was even more rare was that there was a puddle formed by a mountain stream flowing down next to the wooden house. Zhao Bing walked to the wooden house. The guards standing outside the door had obviously searched. They hurriedly helped the little emperor remove his backpack and took the gun on his shoulder. He looked into the house, which emitted a musty smell. A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the stove built with stone slabs in the corner of the house, and there was nothing else.

"Stay for a while and clean up here as a place to settle down. So many of us gather together doesn't look like hunting, but it's like marching. We have already scared the birds and beasts away!" Zhao Bing turned around and said.

"Yes!" Chen Dun responded, directing the guards to arrange warnings and clear up the surrounding debris.

"Are you two okay?" Zhao Bing looked at Zhao Mengjin who was sitting on the ground impatiently and Chen Fenglin who couldn't help but sweat.

"Your Majesty said it is right. It's time for me to practice it!" Zhao Mengjin said with a wry smile. "I remember that in the past, the Sa family could also marches for dozens of miles, and they wouldn't even breathe, but now I've just walked such a little road and become a dog."

"We ministers should have been in front of us, but we were left so far by His Majesty. I am so ashamed!" Chen Fenglin was not much stronger than Zhao Mengjin, and smiled mockingly.

"Hey, you are more than twenty years older than me, and you can still accompany me to cross mountains and rivers without being left behind. Your foundation is pretty good!" Zhao Bing smiled and washed his face with the clear and cool spring water beside him, washed away the sweat on his face, picked up the spring water and drank a few sips, and suddenly felt much more refreshed.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me, I'm already ashamed!" The two of them shook their heads at the same time. Then they washed their hands and faces in the puddles, drank some water, and became much more energetic.

Zhao Bing looked at it was almost noon, and it was the highest temperature in the day. As he knew, this was the time when birds and beasts were most reluctant to move, and they would not come out to find food until the afternoon was cooler. Thinking about it, it was just like a trip, so it was very interesting to camp in the mountains today. He habitually observed the terrain below. It seemed like a dividing line. Then he walked upwards and the trees gradually became sparse, and the bamboo forest was not as dense as the bottom of the mountain, which could allow large prey to pass through. And the nearby should be a good hunting ground, and the wooden house might have been built by hunters for convenience.

After making up his mind, Zhao Bing ordered the guards to camp here. Everyone was surprised. They originally planned to go back for a day, so they did not bring the camping tents and other items, and the food was only enough for two meals. But seeing that the little emperor was very interested, they could only clean up the wooden house for His Majesty to live in, clean up the open space and cut bamboo to build a shack, and look for firewood to prepare for fire.

Before it happened, the mountains became cooler. Zhao Bing ate some dry food, drank a few sips of water and prepared to go hunting. After all, Zhao Mengjin and Chen Fenglin were in the army for many years, and after a while, they had to recover after a while. Of course, they also had to follow. Because they had to clean up the camp and arrange food and accommodation, Chen Dun chose two guards with clever shooting skills to follow, and the other two had only one guard to follow. Everyone agreed to keep a distance of ten steps to search and advance, contact each other with whistles, and face accidental injuries. After discovering prey, they could shoot without considering the superiority and inferiority. Everything was aimed at hunting birds and beasts.

After a few people left the camp, Zhao Bing chose a gentle slope to scatter each other. He led the two in the middle, Zhao Mengjin on his left hand and Chen Fenglin on his right hand, lined up a sparse line of scattered soldiers to search and move forward. In fact, he had no experience in hunting in his previous life or in this life, so he knew how to track animal traces. He was more about expanding the search surface to try his luck. In this way, everyone was not far apart from each other and could watch over each other. He was within the range of the firearms of the approaching people. Once there was danger, he could fire a gun in time, which was entirely for safety reasons.

‘Bang’, suddenly a gunshot came from the left wing. Zhao Bing immediately turned his face and looked in the direction of the gunshot. He also opened the insurance and prepared to shoot. But he saw a group of bamboo chickens flying out of the forest. Then there were several gunshots. He watched the two bamboo chickens pounce down.

"I hit it, I hit it!" Two guards on both sides ran forward excitedly and broke the struggling bamboo chicken's neck, picked it up and showed it to him.

"Good marksmanship, can shoot down birds in the air!" Zhao Bing smiled, closed the insurance, and shouted Cai.

"Your Majesty, we also hit one!" Zhao Mengjin also responded loudly.

"Okay, I'll have meat tonight!" Zhao Bing responded.

"What's going on? None of them was killed!" Chen Fenglin, who had no results, gathered over and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Be careful, the wild boars!" After the first round of shooting, everyone was either depressed or excited, and suddenly a guard shouted.

"Run quickly..." The sound of shooting just now alarmed the wild boars foraging in the depths of the bamboo forest. They were frightened and ran around in the forest. They rushed towards them. Before they could reload the bullets, they could only retreat quickly.

"Don't be confused!" Zhao Bing's understanding of animals mostly comes from "Animal World" and the zoo in his previous life, and later survival documentaries, but he knew that wild boars were both timid and fierce. As you ran like a dog, he would chase him more and more. Who could run through four legs in this mountain? Even if you have high martial arts skills and can kill one or two, a group of people are coming now.

‘Bang!’ Just as everyone gathered to protect their vehicles, the gun in Zhao Bing’s hand rang, buzzing everyone’s ears, but the wild boar did not see a single one falling down, but was frightened by the gunshot and ran away. Only then did everyone realize the danger, the little emperor shot into the sky and scared away the wild boars.

"See what I do, chase me!" Zhao Bing shouted anxiously. The reason why he didn't fire the gun just now was that he was slow to react. He was worried about this situation. Everyone was not holding a fully automatic rifle, but "Lao Du Ju". If he was alarmed, he would be prepared. Unexpectedly, he would really use it.

Everyone may not have realized the little emperor's thoughts, but they once again saw His Majesty's military quality. He broke through the protection circle, carried a gun in his left hand, and took out a bullet from the ammunition box at his waist with his right hand, bit the paper case with his mouth, and blocked the hole with his thumb. And his left hand had already picked the beak of the firing bird, opened the fire plate Fenggu, and scattered a small amount of gunpowder into it with his right hand, and closed the windguard, but at this time his eyes were staring at the fleeing wild boar.

Everyone was surprised. Not to mention loading bullets while running, even when filling them while walking, it was very likely that the gunpowder would be spilled. After filling the gunpowder, the little emperor kept pouring the gunpowder into the gun chamber with his right hand, and pinched the paper shell and tightened the projectile and stuffed it into the gun chamber. Then he put the butt on a stone and squatted down and turned into a shooting posture.

‘Bang’, what everyone saw was that the little emperor was squatting down, and the gunshots rang. A fat wild boar that had already run away fifty steps fell to the ground and rolled down the hillside. But what was surprising was that the little emperor did not mean to stop. Instead, he immediately got up and hung the gun down, knocked on the tree, chased forward, completed the shooting preparations during the run, opened fire again at a distance of about eighty steps from the pigs, and hit a wild boar.

"Your Majesty, what a magic gun!" When everyone loaded the bullets and caught up, the pigs had already crossed a hill and disappeared from sight. Zhao Mengjin couldn't help but praise.

"It's just luck, it's just luck!" Zhao Bing had already loaded up again and closed the insurance, and he was still not satisfied.

"Your Majesty's shooting skills are as good as a god. You can hit the wild boar's head at a distance of 80 steps, and you can kill him with one shot. I think no one can match my hundreds of thousands of troops!" Chen Fenglin commanded the guards to carry the two wild boars over, and after checking, he said in admiration.
