Chapter 957: Bears grab sugar? Kill it!

After probably reporting the situation, Garland's messenger hesitated and continued:

"Duke, this time when collecting maple syrup over the land, I encountered a very difficult problem ..."

"Oh, what's the problem?"

"A bear bear steals sugar ..."

"What? Bears ... stealing sugar?" Marin was dumbfounded.

"Yes, there are big gray bears stealing the oak barrels that collect maple syrup. Or, they just use the greedy bears they grab, and they seem to like the sweetness of maple syrup, directly ... Take away the bucket of sugar juice ... "

"The whole ... Hugging away?" It's very good and powerful, and Marin remembered it at this time as if the bear did like sweetness. In order to steal honey, he went directly to the tree and drew a honeycomb without fear of being stung by bees. Of course, the bear skin is very thick, and it is stung like an adult.

Although maple syrup is far less sweet than honey, it also has a sweet fragrance. This time, it should be the time when the bear has just ended hibernation. The bear's nose is very smart, and it suddenly smells of maple syrup, so it's strange not to be greedy ...

At this time, the messenger continued:

"Yes, when the bears saw the oak barrel hanging on the tree to collect maple syrup, they hugged the whole drink directly. If they couldn't finish drinking, they took the whole barrel away. And, the greedy black bear stretched his mouth to There was a strong suction from the tree cave ... Some people from the local aborigines stopped, and it seemed that they angered the black bears. Two of the aborigines were flattened on the spot. But most of them were injured and not lethal. Because, those bears usually hold wooden maple juice The barrel refused to let go, and could not free it to kill the indigenous people ... Most of the injured people were kicked by the bear's hind limbs ... "

"Uh ... won't those Native Americans shoot the bears?" Marin was speechless.

"It's difficult. The bows and arrows used by the indigenous people have little power. And most of the arrows are made of stone, and it is difficult to shoot through the bear's thick skin. Even if they shoot through the bear's skin, most of them stay in the bear's cortex and are hard to hurt Critical. Moreover, the injured bears are maddeningly terrifying. Therefore, the indigenous people generally dare not provoke the bears ... "

Marin thought about it, really. The Indians, who are currently in the Stone Age, do lack effective weapons to shoot black bears. Unlike Cape Breton Island, all grizzly bears that could be found on the island were shot because of the powerful large projectile muskets such as the Musquette. On the North American continent, there has always been a world of North American grizzly bears, and local indigenous people lack the powerful weapons to shoot grizzly bears. Therefore, they can only watch the bears take away the sweet maple syrup from the barrel and dare not stop it ...

...

"That's not okay, because these bears can't affect my maple sugar business! We have to support those indigenous people to hunt bears!" Marin said seriously, after thinking about it.

"You mean to provide muskets to those natives?" The messenger asked.

Marin shook his head, the musket was not so good to provide. This thing, Marin is not willing to master the local indigenous, even if it is a matchlock gun. After all, after the population is sufficient, Marin wants the colonists to land and seize the land. If the indigenous people had guns ...

Although Marin can control the supply of gunpowder to limit the fighting power of the indigenous people. However, things are not static. At the beginning, when the two countries competed in North America, they had provided each other's hostile aborigines with guns and gunpowder. If one day the French also set foot in North America and secretly provided ammunition to the indigenous people ...

Therefore, it is the safest practice not to fire guns for indigenous people. At most, provide them with some excellent European bows and arrows. Anyway, Native Indians are also good at archery.

"Then give them heavy arrows to shoot the bears!" Marin said after thinking about it.

"Heavy arrow?" The messenger was a little confused. But he soon realized that if he couldn't kill him, the bear that fought back before he died was terrible ...

The so-called heavy arrow is actually a triangular prismatic arrow similar to the Qin crossbow, with blood grooves engraved on the arrow. Triangular arrows are heavier, but because of their greater kinetic energy, armor-breaking ability is better than ordinary arrows. Generally speaking, the ancients shot heavy beasts with heavy arrows. For shooting birds, use light arrows.

The heavy arrow has a large kinetic energy, but because of its self-importance, the gravity is also large, and it is easy to fall and affect the range. However, heavy arrows can often break through the thick skin defense of fierce beasts because of their sufficient kinetic energy. As for light arrows, because of their lightness, their range is often far away, but their power is not enough.

Originally, the most suitable for shooting heavy arrows is actually a heavy crossbow. However, Marin cannot guarantee that the heavy arrows will kill the Grizzlies in one blow. You know, those beasts can explode with huge energy in the case of serious injuries. Their dying blows are much more terrifying than humans. If you use a heavy crossbow, once the shooting fails, the user's life is worrying. After all, the Grizzlies run faster than people. The heavy crossbow users who failed to shoot, will definitely be unable to escape the bear claws.

Therefore, Marin designed a plan to shoot grizzly bears for the indigenous people

This plan is to provide the Indian Natives with a strong bow, which is used to shoot the three-sided heavy arrows. Native Indians are good at archery, and it is not difficult to find good archery and strength among them. Then, let the warrior, carrying a strong bow and heavy arrows, climb the tree and ambush the grizzly bear. At the same time, they will carry a steel spear with a short spear over a meter long ...

After being hit by a heavy arrow, the Grizzlies must be furious. If you are hit by a shot, it is best. If you are not shot, the Grizzlies will definitely run under the tree and plan to attack the shooter. So, do the Grizzlies have two choices to interrupt this big tree, or climb the tree to chase down the shooter ...

Therefore, the tree that the shooter climbs must be thick enough. Otherwise, you may be interrupted by the Grizzlies or a "Lu Zhishen will pull down the willow". You know, the strength of the Grizzlies is no less than Lu Zhi ...

If the big tree is thick enough and the grizzly bear just doesn't move, then it has to climb the tree to chase down and retaliate. However, at this time the hunter was carrying a short spear with an iron head. When the grizzly climbs to a close position, the shooter can use a short spear of more than one meter to pierce the grizzly head ...

At this time, the grizzly bear is climbing the limbs, unable to cover, either retreat, or get stuck in the head ...

Moreover, before the grizzly bear climbs the tree, the shooter can shoot multiple three-sided heavy arrows. With good luck, the Grizzlies had already been shot dead.

In addition, you can also engage in a multi-person linkage. That is to say, there are other shooters ambushing in the nearby trees. Everyone shoots a trigonal heavy arrow at the grizzly bear, the effect is better.

Not only that, shooters can also pit traps under the tree. After being irritated by the shot, the Grizzlies obviously would not look closely at the trap. Once they are in a hurry to retaliate, they can easily fall into the pit when they rush over. At that time, the grizzly bear that fell out of the pit is the fish meat on the cutting board. Anything you want can be done ... you can shoot with a random arrow, you can stab with a spear, you can throw a big stone to death, or you can throw it on The firewood went down and burned to death ...

In fact ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This kind of trap bottom can actually be pre-built with wooden spikes. If the grizzly falls, it will be directly strung on a wooden picket ... But Marin is worried that when he sends his troops to land and invade in the future, he will be targeted by the indigenous people with this method. Therefore, he is only willing to teach the indigenous people to use ordinary deep pit traps ... In fact, this does not need to be taught. The indigenous people will dig ordinary pit traps long ago ...

...

It's no wonder that Marin is deliberately trying to kill those grizzly bears, because the grizzly bears are too harmful to the collection of maple sugar. The maple sugar harvesting season is when the Grizzlies wake up after hibernation. At this time, the grizzly bears are the most hungry. When they see the sweet maple syrup they like to eat, they will definitely get robbed and will be fierce.

The only way to avoid being affected by the Grizzlies is to kill those Grizzlies.

Grizzly bears are very harmful to humans. Even in the later generations where animal protection is rampant, in order to prevent grizzly bears from hurting people, Canadian officials often encourage hunters to use high-power shotguns to regularly clean up the overflowing grizzly bears and avoid human harm. Of course, later generations of Canadians are more hypocritical and they demand that they must use high-power shotgun shells that can kill quickly, so as to avoid the Grizzly being hurt and not die ...

It was still in the later generations where development was already very high, and Grizzlies were actually few. But now, because the Indian Natives lack the weapons to hunt grizzly bears, they generally do not dare to provoke the grizzly bears. Therefore, in this era, grizzly bears are more prevalent in Canada, except for almost no natural enemy grizzly cubs, with a wider distribution. If you do n’t kill the Grizzlies, do n’t think about developing North America ...

Therefore, Marin will let people make a series of strong bows and blood-slotted three-sided heavy arrows, specially provided to the indigenous people in Canada, and teach them the set of methods designed by Marin to hunt grizzly bears. In this way, in the future maple sugar collection, you can also be robbed and disturbed by the Grizzlies as little as possible ...
