Lowland forest area, which is the name of the small narrow forest bordering the Eastern Beach among the large sparse forests surrounding leloran.
The narrow forest is only 600 or 700 meters wide and 300 or 400 meters deep. Its two wings are relatively high, the middle Valley is slowly lowered and depressed, and the gentle soil slope extends from west to East until it is connected with the vast beach near the sea.
This is probably the area with the worst view along the beach coating line. The terrain is basically a huge valley. It is easy to block the line of sight when looking at the sea or the forest, so it is difficult to feel the grandeur.
But there are unique advantages here.
Because it is connected with the beach, the whole beach line is the closest hunting area between shooters and seabirds. The first shooting point can be controlled within 50 meters, which is completely different from the ultra long range of 100 meters or even more than 200 meters in other areas.
To hunt, you must first hit the target, which is called hunting.
In the era of front loading without rifling, the actual combat distance of line platoon is only 7 to 10 meters, and the range that ordinary shooters can accurately grasp through training is about 30 meters.
The theoretical effective range of the gun is longer. The classic Brown bass in Britain is about 60 to 70 meters, and the latest chalville in France can reach 85 meters.
This is almost the limit of mortals.
Hunting soldiers are the king of playing with long guns in this era. The lowest standard for France to evaluate a hunting soldier is to use chalville to accurately hit a range of 150 meters. Americans have set a sniping record of 500 meters, but they use Kentucky. Rifling guns are generally not used as the standard for conventional firepower.
It can be seen that although the first shooting point of 50m is a little far away, it can just let the skilled hunters show light. Compared with the barbaric act of pasting lead bullets close to the bird''s nest, the summer white pelican hunting popular in leloran has more unique taste of elite social networking.
Of course, Miss Emily can''t understand this noble taste involving professional knowledge.
The four carriages stopped slowly in the open shade. Miss Emily gently shook the folding fan, stretched out her embroidered little finger and hooked up a trace of white gauze to cover the window.
The sun shone in and reflected on her emerald green woven skirt, reflecting the dazzling brilliance.
"Good sun... Mi Wei, what if such a poisonous sun burns my skin?"
The accompanying maid smiled, and a box of exquisite ointment appeared from the palm of her hand.
"Madam, I''ve been ready for a long time. This is the most popular pearl cream of the Oriental royal family. It''s brought by the ocean merchants in Boston. It''s said that it is mixed with pearl powder and pollen and mixed with colorless and tasteless fish oil. It can not only protect the sun, but also nourish the skin."
"Oriental royal family!" Miss Emily almost screamed with her little mouth covered. "Are they those luxury nobles whose shoes are made of gold? What do they use?"
"Yes! The whole lady leloran was the first to buy. This small box is worth more than 160 pounds. It''s too extravagant."
"Long live mother!"
The two girls laughed and carefully smeared the bare arms and neck with a thousand gold ointment.
The beautiful face doesn''t need extra protection. In order to cope with this important date, Miss Emily uses the trendy white lead makeup. The tough protective shell is not enough to wear even if she shoots close with a firegun. It''s just sunshine, but so.
Someone gently rang the door. Miss Emily quickly sat up, lifted her veil, put on a dignified smile, and waited for the maid to open the door.
Captain zierned, known as the son of Martinique, stood outside the door with his left hand on his back and his right hand on his chest. The sea blue captain''s clothes lined his tall and straight figure, and his spring like smile shone with a color more intense than the sun.
"Miss Emily prio, your beauty fascinates the whole world. Please allow me to invite you to get off the bus and enjoy the superb skills of my elite soldiers in great France."
"It''s a great honor, captain." Miss Emily nodded 15 degrees, matched with her slightly drooping eyes, and showed her long and thick eyelashes in front of zilned.
"This is the most beautiful eye in the world, comparable to the transparent gem of East Africa."
"You know so much."
"Sailors, where French civilization shines, we know everything."
Zierned leaned out the back of his hand, took Miss Emily''s slender hand and helped her jump out of the carriage.
While the young lady was not stable, zilned suddenly turned his hand. Unexpectedly, his finger touched the young lady''s finger. Miss Emily dodged like a frightened bird.
"Miss, are you..."
Miss Emily smiled cunningly, spit out the tip of her tongue and gently touched her beautiful lips.
"No, Mr. captain. The teacher once told me that men and women are far away. Maybe they won''t be surprised and excited about the same thing in their life. But men and women are very close. They can be intimate by calling names, holding hands, hugging and kissing."
She raised her hand and shook her fingers like a dance: "I admit I don''t have a bad feeling for you, but similarly, you haven''t attracted me."
"Is it abrupt? I apologize." zirned bowed again. "Please allow me to make up for my mistakes with today''s rich itinerary."
"Thank you."
"On this beautiful coast, we will enjoy a leisurely midsummer afternoon. Sunshine, sea breeze, fresh fruit and wine... Lunch is a famous seabird sandwich at the naval banquet. For this reason, I also brought the most elite shooters on board."
"They are the pride of the French navy. Under my command, they have defeated countless ferocious enemies. Elite celebrities are spread all over the Caribbean Sea!"
Listening to zilned''s passionate speech, to be honest, Miss Emily is a little sleepy
The so-called elites with the smell of sweat and other strange smells could not arouse her half interest, but fortunately, zilned, holding such a group of soldiers, was becoming interesting in her eyes.
Power is an expensive jewel worn by men. Whether it is expensive or jewelry, it is Miss Emily''s favorite.
She especially knows how to deal with such a scene.
At this point, Miss Emily opened the folding fan to cover her small mouth, pretending to be surprised and sighed "ah".
"Captain, are these sailors the best soldiers in the world?"
"Of course it is!" zilned smiled proudly. "Stepping on the strong wind and waves, rolling on the bumpy deck, as long as it is close to the death distance of 30 meters, my soldiers can open the enemy''s skull with lead bullets. They are the top sharpshooters in the world. They are invincible in shaking warships, not to mention a group of wild birds living on land."
"With such a loyal soldier, you will have a bright future?"
"Correct it, it won''t happen." zilned kissed the tip of his finger and flashed his rank at Miss Emily. "28 year old major, the record of total victory and invincibility, I''m destined to be a general. Sooner or later, I''ll stand in front of the monarch wearing the crown of nobility."
Miss Emily looked forward: "I really want to see such a grand scene with my own eyes."
"You''ll see," zilned stepped forward and reached for Miss Emily''s waist.
Miss Emily smiled and dodged again, pointing to the completed shooter platform: "let''s enjoy the hunting, Captain, Emily is hungry."
"Hunting... Hunting..." zilned smiled awkwardly. "Today''s prey is a little cunning."
……
At the command, the hunt began.
The archers lined up along the beach, each standing to search for the prey in front of them.
White pelicans live close to the sea and don''t like the end of too dry beach. The shooting distance of more than 50 meters makes every shooter a little nervous, so that no one fired the most confident first shot.
The bored Miss Emily gradually lost her patience. Zilned looked into her eyes and the expression on her face became colder and colder.
He called the adjutant to his side and whispered, "wait any longer, my prey will run away, lieutenant."
"Yes, sir! I''ll hurry them now!"
Hurried, anxious, ill prepared.
Under more and more urgent pressure, a shooter finally fired the first shot, boom!
The lead bullet flew out and began to deflect at more than 20 meters. It drifted farther and farther. It perfectly avoided the target and hit a boulder on the beach.
The birds started up.
The hula-a-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-.
Miss Emily silently opened her mouth, quickly changed into proper worship and ignorance, took the initiative to grab zilned''s sleeve and said timidly, "Mr. captain, the wind is... So strong."
"The wind... Ah... This damned wind!" zilnedfu said to his heart, "this damned wind is really disturbing. I''m sorry, miss. Now there are wild birds flying all over the sky. In order not to hurt the innocent, we can only wait patiently for a while."
"You are so kind."
"We are soldiers. If we abandon kindness, wouldn''t we be like beasts?"
Zierned suddenly regained his self-confidence and searched his stomach for another city for his face.
"Miss, I don''t know. Shooting by the sea is always full of accidents, just like the current gust of wind. Under such a strong wind, no matter how good a shooter can hit the target, wait for the wind, wait for the waves and overcome everything, that is..."
Boom!
There was a gunshot in the distance, and a flying white pelican fell.
Miss Emily stared at her and blurted out: "ah, I''m in..."
Zierned almost turned his back angrily and pulled a few mouthfuls of atmosphere, which reluctantly continued the topic.
"Nothing in the world is absolute. A moment of luck is amazing, but if you mistake luck for strength..."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Steady and fast, there were five shots. Each shot was a pelican''s life, and each shot was a flock of birds flying away.
When the gunshot ends, the birds all over the sky are gone, and the sky over the beach is full of danger. Even if it''s not time for hunting, they are willing to go to the sea to survive!
Miss Emily looked at the clear sky and squeezed out a smiling face thoughtfully: "Mr. captain, my mother once said that red wine and bread are supreme delicacies. Maybe God just doesn''t want us to miss the delicacies..."
"Maybe so..." zilned clenched his teeth, cut his teeth and looked at the invisible sound source, "but such food needs the help of foreign materials. Let me think, how about the gallows..."
