Recommended reading: Osaki Mountain, the sun sets in the west, and the dense forest is dark. More than ten figures slowly move forward in the forest, touching a village in the gap in the distance. A flag is flying on the flagpole of the village, with a big word "Zhou".

While walking, suddenly one person stopped and raised his hand and clenched his fists. The others also stopped seeing this. A big bird flew up not far away in the forest, and a few strange screams rushed upwards from the woods.

The forest calmed down, but these people still did not move. A black snake with a triangular head was plated on the tree behind one person. It was angry by the unstoppable guests who invaded the territory. After a moment, it slowly swam towards its prey.

As he got closer and closer, he saw the other party suddenly become ignorant, the black snake's body shrank slightly and was about to jump up. At this moment, the man suddenly turned around and pinched the black snake's head, and tore it off before the black snake was wrapped around.

A faint smell of blood spread, and was taken away by the mountain wind blowing in front of him. The gust of wind also brought a faint smell of food. It seemed that dinner was being eaten in the village ahead.

These people still did not move until the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared on the other side of the mountain and the forest was submerged in darkness, they made several gestures for one person. The people behind them slowly touched the wings left and right, while the rest were busy.

They are all veteran hunting masters. In order to track their prey, they can lurk day and night. Now they are just changing the hunting targets to official troops, and darkness operations are nothing at all.

Shooting Tiger took off a large crossbow from his back. Although the forest was dark under the twilight, his eyes that had already adapted to the darkness could still see the big crossbow very clearly. He sat down carefully, stepped on the "carry pole" with his feet, and pulled the crossbow string with his hands with his waist and legs.

The mountain people called the crossbow arms a shoulder pole, which cut the fir trees into a shoulder pole, then used hemp rope to fix the two ends of the bent "bear pole" and tied to death. Then, a thick wooden board was fixed in the middle of the "bear pole" as the crossbow body. The crossbow body and the crossbow arms were perpendicular to it, and there was an arrow groove on it. The mountain people were used to calling the crossbow bodies a "gourd".

There is an oblique wooden handle below the back of the gourd, called the "dog leg". This is to facilitate the handle held by the crossbowman for easy holding, so that the hunter can hold it and make it easy to shoot. A trigger is installed in front and below the dog leg, which is a crossbow arrow shooting device.

The bow of the big crossbow is very powerful, but the winding must be completed in one breath. The thin tiger shoots the tiger without any strength, but he just pulls the crossbow string up with his own strength and takes a breath. He carefully draws out a crossbow arrow from the arrow box.

The crossbow rod is made of bamboo, the arrow is made of precious iron arrowheads, and the more precious one is the poison applied to it. It is a poison made by the secret recipe of the ancestral shooting tiger. The prey dies when it sees blood.

The tiger was ready to shoot the tiger and sat on the ground with its back against the big tree. He held the "gourd" in his left hand and the "dog legs" in his right hand. The knees of his legs supported the left elbow. He sat quietly, blending with the big tree.

‘It’s no big deal. No matter how powerful it is, can a tiger be as powerful as a tiger?’ Shooting Tiger thought so and gently buckled his helmet with his right hand.

The helmet was taken off from a general of Zhou. The unlucky person was killed on the spot by him with one arrow. The iron helmet was well-made and very majestic when worn, which made his companions envious.

Shot Tiger felt that the moment the village leader gave him this helmet, he was as excited as if he had won the name of "Shoot Tiger".

The surname of Shooting Tiger is Tian, ​​of course, like others, he has no official name. His grandfather has shot and killed a tiger, so it is called the "Shooting Tiger". His grandfather has shot and killed a tiger, so it is also called the Shooting Tiger. He later also shot and killed a tiger, so it is naturally called the Shooting Tiger.

There are not many people who have hunted tigers in the mountains, but not many people can shoot tigers by themselves. His grandfather is one, and his father is one, and he is naturally one of them. Only in this way can he deserve the name of shooting tigers.

There are many wild animals in the mountains, including wild boars, leopards and tigers. Flocks of wild boars can purify the crops that have been planted in the village overnight. Leopards often attack people and animals, and when tigers appear, they will harm the entire village. In order to deal with these ferocious beasts, crossbows are essential things.

It is okay to shoot wild animals with ordinary crossbows, but it is difficult to deal with wild boars with thick skin and flesh, so you have to use a large crossbow. The range of the large crossbow is hundreds of steps, and the distance is about eighty steps, and the lethality is also very accurate.

But for wild boars, even if the crossbow arrow penetrates the skin and penetrates the flesh, it is not so easy to die. It is even more powerful when they see blood, so they need to use medicine arrows.

The medicine arrows were blood-sealed and the throat was sealed. Even the wild boar with thick skin would not survive long after being cut. The tiger shot many wild boars with his own hands, but even if they were rubbed against the pig's legs, they did not escape by chance.

There are very few people who can make poison, but many people hunt with medicinal arrows. Most of the people who have the courage to hunt tigers alone are dead, because having medicinal arrows alone is useless, as long as they have to shoot.

When the tiger roared in front of him, ordinary people were so scared that their legs were trembling and collapsed to the ground. Those who could turn around and run were considered courageous. At this time, qualified hunters could hold the crossbow, but it was difficult to aim and shoot. Not many people could face the whistling tiger alone without panic.

There may be a second chance to shoot arrows with a bow and arrow, but you can only pass it once with a large crossbow. A tiger is not a wild boar that can only rush to straight lines. It will jump left and right while running, so it is not enough to have courage alone to hunt alone. You must be calm and calm down and not be bad at shooting.

Shooting a tiger can do this, so when he shot a tiger alone, everyone in the village admired it. This time, the foolish people at the foot of the mountain disturbed the mountain god, and the village leader brought people to punish them, but in the end, a large number of Zhou troops entered the mountain to retaliate. The other party came in a fierce manner but was beaten by Shooting a tiger and his companions as if they were hunting.

In his opinion, there is no difference between hunting tigers and hunting Zhou army. They both look majestic, but as long as they find a suitable place to set up an ambush and wait patiently for the other party to come to the door to die. This is how the Zhou army that entered the mountain was ruined, and this time it will be no exception.

One of them slowly leaned against him and whispered in his ear: "Click the tiger, be careful later, and aim at those shots that look like the leader."

Shehu nodded silently. This time, Zhou's army entered the mountain as expected, but after the other party went up the mountain, they started to build a village at several places. They set up a village every distance and moved forward slowly.

There were many people every time they were dispatched. The original plan was a bit troublesome to ambush. Seeing the other party approaching Heiyun Village, the leader was preparing to take everyone to move, but the other party still had no intention of chasing them.

If this continues, it will not work. I have to find a way to anger the "tiger" and make it lose its composure. I chased him along the designed route and was finally shot to death by an arrow. Now they are going to do this.

Now that night is falling, it is a good time to attack the camp. It is impossible to climb over the wall. The sentries on the sentry tower are the best targets. Of course, if the other party is smart, they will set up secret messages outside the camp, and these secret messages are also their targets.

But there are no secret sentries now. They just touched them all the way and observed them carefully. With years of hunting experience, there are no secret sentries outside the camp, so killing a few sentries is what they have to do next.

If the other party was driven out and chased, they would be looking for death. If they emerged from the wall of the village, they would be waiting in the dark woods. Everyone had a very good vision at night and shot each other to death.

It would be better if the other party did not dare to show up, they would set fire, anyway, just to make it uneasy.

The breeze blew, spreading the smell of the village in the upper wind to the tiger's nose. He smelled a slight smell of fireworks and sweat. The fire lit up in the village. It was the Zhou army who were not used to sleeping in the mountains and forests overnight, making fires to enhance their courage.

Calculate the time, it was time for the companions who were surrounding the left and right to take action. Shohu took a deep breath and quietly looked at the direction of the camp. Just as he looked around habitually, he suddenly felt palpitations.

The feeling was very familiar. It was the moment when the tiger appeared when he used himself as bait and attracted the tiger to prey. The tiger believed in his feelings and thought it was not good. He had to go out on the spot.

The sound of the bowstring sounded, and Shooting Hu felt a pain in his chest. Then a huge force hit him back and directly pressed against the tree trunk behind him and could not move. He looked down and saw a piece of arrow feather exposed outside his bloody chest. Judging from the length, he knew it was a crossbow arrow.

"Ahh!" A scream sounded around. Shohu vaguely saw someone shaking, running, and finally falling down. At this moment, he knew that he and his companions were ambushing, and it was the Zhou army's secret whistle attack.

‘How could there be a secret whistle! I can even feel whether the tiger is ambushing nearby...’

The severe pain came, with a burst of burning sensation. Shooting Tiger knew that he was shot through his chest and nailed to the tree by a crossbow arrow, but the pain was a bit strange. He had been injured by an arrow and knew that this feeling was abnormal.

The big crossbow in his hand had already landed on the ground, and the crossbow arrow that could not be attracted to the side, his consciousness was blurred. When shooting the tiger, he knew that it was a medicine arrow and there was no possibility of survival. The opponent's ability to lurk was stronger than him. He finally knew that the most terrifying thing in the mountains was not a tiger, but a hunter who could shoot the tiger.

"So, it feels like being shot by a big crossbow, this is what..."

......

In the camp, Yang Ji looked at the fifteen corpses lying on the ground. The fires jumping from torches around them illuminated the faces of these corpses. They were mostly wearing animal skins mixed with coarse cloth clothes, all wearing straw sandals, dark skin and fluffy heads, and some had patterns on their faces.

"Yang Sima, fifteen, no escape." A man next to him said stiff official words. His clothes were somewhat similar to those lying on the ground, and some of the people standing beside Yang Ji were dressed in this way.

"Thank you for your hard work, and it's also hard for you to do a secret whistle outside." Yang Ji nodded and said, "If our soldiers set up a secret whistle, they would have been noticed by the other party a long time ago."

Several generals around him also nodded. The mountains were full of trees, and there were often strange noises at night. They were not timid but they were really not adapted to such places. If there was any movement, they had to be alert. It would be fine if they stayed up for one night, but it would be really abnormal to come down for a few nights.

"According to the original plan, after the food and grass are transported here, we will continue to set up a village forward and force Tian Yunshan backwards step by step." Yang Ji said, looking at a sloppy map, "Only by standing firmly can we fight a good war. If the other party dares to come and harass them, they will go without returning!"

"Sima, it would be safe if this happens. The more you go, the denser the mountains and forests will become, and the other party will always have the advantage of the territory." A general said worriedly. If the mountain man always avoids and does not fight, the official army seems to have no good idea.

When the camp was established all the way, they had to divide their troops to guard it. Although the villages were guarding the important roads and the other party could not use large-scale troops, small-scale infiltration was hard to defend against. If the official army suffered more than ten casualties every day, it would not be a small number after a long time.

"If Tianyun Mountain has a good location, it is the master. When the official army enters the mountain, it is the guest. Only by turning the guest as the main guest is the way to win. The battle should be fought where our army thinks it is suitable, so as not to be led by the opponent." Yang Ji said, this strategy was decided before sending troops, so it must be implemented resolutely.

"If they dare to send small troops to harass them, then we will eat them in one bite. Moreover, the government army is not only us all the way into the mountains, so they are too busy." After Yang Ji said that, he asked the man where the hero who had successfully ambushed the secret whistle.

"It's them." The leader turned around and pointed at more than ten people behind him, "They are good hunters."

"The ones sent by Tian Yunshan must be good hunters. If you can successfully ambush, you are even better than them. As agreed, everyone will be rewarded." Yang Ji praised, and the news around him turned the content into local dialect and said it again.

Seeing that the other party was touching the back of his head with a simple smile, Yang Ji became interested. When he saw that one of the people was not tall, but was carrying a big crossbow, he asked the leader if the big crossbow was used to shoot large wild beasts such as wild boars.

"Wild boar, leopard, tiger, and bad guys!" The leader still explained in stiff official words.

"A crossbow of such a big shot has it been a tiger?"

"Yes, he shot a tiger, died, alone!"

"One person shoots a tiger with a crossbow!" Everyone was amazed. Looking at the unsightly man in front of him, the expressions of the unsightly man in front of him were different. Unless the situation was special, it would be a matter of life and death. No matter what he thought of the mountain people before, I can only admire him now.

Fortunately, some village leaders on the mountain stood on the side of the government and sent veterans to the mountain with the government troops, and worked as guides and bodyguards. Otherwise, a few people would have been involved in a sudden attack like tonight.

"What is this hero's name? I will report it to the envoy in the future." Yang Ji asked, thinking it would be a pity for those with such skills to not join the army and make meritorious contributions.

The translator, who acted as a translator, communicated with the other party for a moment, and the leader also said something. The translator nodded and said to Yang Ji: "Sima, this hero has the same surname as the one in the village, but he has no serious name."

"This... it should have a nickname or something?" Yang Ji was not surprised. Even many people in the prefectures and counties had their names, except for their surnames, including dustpans, hoes, and toads, but they would have a name no matter what.
