The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 987: The End of the West African Black Rhino (Part 2)
Although I don't know why the boss, the boss, the boss, Marin, knows that the West African black rhino has a good sense of smell, but the hunting team still tested the West African black rhino's sense of smell.
Marin asked them to approach the black rhino at the downwind, so as to avoid the smell being smelled by the black rhino in the wind. However, Royce, the captain of the hunting team, still sent someone to try it, and deliberately asked people to ride their horses to approach from the upper wind. Sure enough, at a distance of thirty or forty meters, the black rhinoceros suddenly raised its head suspiciously and looked in the direction of the approaching rider. Of course, with the eyesight of a black rhinoceros, he couldn't see clearly, but this also frightened the rider, who turned his horse's head and ran for his life.
Black rhinos have a bad temper, especially male black rhinos, once they smell an unusual smell, they may launch a tank-like charge. Therefore, the local indigenous people are very afraid of the black rhino. Those local indigenous guides would not dare to approach the black rhino within 500 range even if they were killed. Although they were assigned by the chief to lead the hunting team, they generally refused to approach after 500 meters. After all, if a male black rhino smells it, it may be hunted to death.
Generally speaking, black rhinos are used to living alone, and only female rhinos will live with their young rhinos. Male male black rhinos will only be with female rhinos during the courtship period, and during the courtship period, male black rhinos are often extremely aggressive. Whoever dislikes them is a tank charge, piercing or crushing the target. At this time, lions, leopards and other ferocious animals will also detour when they see male black rhinos. Only elephants dare to walk slowly through the territory of rhinos. Moreover, the black rhino did not dare to stab. Because elephants are not only powerful, but also in groups. Rhinos are always fierce and dare not provoke a herd of elephants. Of course, the irascible black rhinoceros is not cowardly, and will usually issue threats and put on a posture of driving away, but they dare not rush forward easily. After all, the elephant tonnage is there, and it's a herd.
However, in the face of other species with small tonnage, black rhinos are contemptuous. They dare to rush at the lion pride and drive the whole herd away. As for the aborigines, let alone, rushing directly to the top of the cow...
Therefore, those indigenous blacks in Senegal are very afraid of black rhinos, and generally never get close to black rhinos within 500 meters. In other words, if you see a black rhino from a distance, you will run away.
The territory of black rhinos is very large. Generally speaking, a male black rhino occupies a territory as large as 10 square kilometers. As for how to identify the site? Black rhinos have special territory markings—they mark their territory by shitting. Some ferocious beasts mark their territory by urinating, while the black rhinoceros eats a lot and excretes a lot, defecating up to ten kilograms a day. So, black rhinos simply shit to draw the line. Anyone who dares to step on the shit line, be careful to be sent flying by the horn of the black rhino...
...
On this day, in the name of Eschwein, the manager of the Senegal Fur Company, the 100 musketeers of the hunting team, led by captain Royce, rode bob horses and divided into a dozen groups to the Cape Verde peninsula. Dozens of black rhinos distributed to touch...
The Cape Verde peninsula is only more than 500 square kilometers, but there are 30 adult West African black rhinos among them, occupying most of the land of the Cape Verde peninsula. The few indigenous tribes on the way can only occupy a small part of the peninsula, and the living space is relatively small.
Therefore, the local indigenous people also look forward to the Senegal Fur Company being able to hunt and kill those ferocious West African black rhinos, so as to free up more hunting sites for them.
In order to protect the rhinoceros hide, so as not to affect the production of armor due to the damage of the rhinoceros hide, Royce strictly ordered that all musketeers must aim at the head of the West African black rhinoceros and not hit the body. Moreover, if the bullet hits the West African black rhino, the rhino's hide is so thick, plus the thicker fat layer, as long as it does not hit the heart and other parts, even if the steel ball is ingested into the body of the West African black rhino, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries. Therefore, those steel ball bullets are best aimed at the head of the West African black rhinoceros. As long as it hits the head, it will definitely kill the black rhino, making it instantly lose the ability to fight back. And if it is aimed at the body, once the steel ball is embedded in the fat layer of the rhinoceros,
Not only can it not kill the West African black rhino, but it will make the West African black rhino fight back...
...
Led by the captains and guided by the guides of the local tribes, they came to the rhinoceros territory on the Cape Verde Peninsula and were ready to hunt the rhinos. And those indigenous guides usually ran away when they were 500 meters away from the black rhino.
Royce led the first team, carefully circled to the downwind where the rhino was, and then slowly rode closer...
About 30 meters away from the black rhino, Royce was just about to give the order to aim and shoot, when a horse suddenly neighed...
"¥%..." Royce was speechless for a moment. Seeing the black rhino looking up suspiciously, Royce ordered without saying anything:
"withdraw!"
Then, the five musketeers of the first team rode their horses and ran away...
As unlucky as the Royce team, there is also the tenth team. However, the captain of the tenth team was courageous and did not order to retreat, but ordered to start targeting. However, the black rhino didn't care about anything and began to charge... The captain of the tenth team panicked at this moment, because it was difficult to aim at the running rhino. So, he hurriedly let the team members retreat. Fortunately, the retreat was delayed in time, otherwise, someone would definitely be killed.
After the first team withdrew, Royce breathed a sigh of relief and complained:
"When does this horse bark well, but when it is close to the black rhinoceros, isn't it courting death?"
And his deputy offered advice:
"How about putting a bridle on the horse? Otherwise, the horse's sudden barking will startle the rhino!"
Royce nodded:
"Okay, I will do it next time!"
He didn't know that in ancient China, when sneak attacking the enemy army, the order was usually given to "take grass for a man, and a piece for a horse" to avoid alarming the enemy by making a sound.
However, when Marin attacked the enemy at night, he didn't get any horse titles. Instead, he equipped the war horse with a muzzle similar to the ones that dogs of later generations wear when they go out, so that they can't open their mouths. This prevents the dog or horse from neighing. But this time the Senegal Fur Company hunting team, Marin forgot to equip them with this kind of bridle. And Royce's deputy had participated in night raids before and knew this. Royce also knows this kind of bridle, but now he can't give up and go back, right? So, he decided to finish this wave before talking...
So, the five people in the first group quietly touched the black rhinoceros 30 meters away from the downwind again. This time, no horse neighed. Then, Royce ordered in a low voice:
"Blowing the matchlock..."
"preparation--"
"aim--"
"put--"
Then, 5 gunshots sounded almost simultaneously, making a huge sound. Fortunately, the ears of several horses were plugged, otherwise such a loud sound would easily startle the horses...
"Quick retreat!" Royce ordered loudly immediately after shooting. At this time, the thick gunpowder smoke from the five musket guns has not yet dissipated.
But Royce didn't dare to wait for the smoke to clear before ordering a retreat, because if the smoke cleared, if the black rhino hadn't been killed, he would have reacted and rushed here. If it is hit by an accelerating rhino, there must be casualties...
Therefore, Royce gave orders to each team - to ride the horse and run as soon as possible after the fight, turning around to observe while running. If you find a rhino chasing you, keep running. If the rhino falls, return...
Fortunately, the musketeers in Royce's team had good marksmanship and all hit. Then, Royce returned to the scene with the team members, and came to the dead body of the West African black rhinoceros shot in the head...
