It can only be said that Ninth Brother is lucky, and the location of Nanyi is advantageous.

The area marked out today should be longer from east to west and shorter from north to south.

As a result, the three divided teams, the one belonging to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, were closer to the center of the paddock.

The first team to arrive in the middle of the paddock was the twenty guards led by Chun Lin and Cao Shun.

Everyone ignored the roe deer, deer deer, etc. they encountered along the way.

Along the way, in addition to being startled by birds and rabbits, we also happened to encounter a herd of elk and deer.

Elk are larger and less agile than ordinary deer.

By the time the deer herd reacted, Chun Lin and Cao Shun had already divided their forces again. One team went around to the back of the deer herd, and the other team went around to the east, driving the deer herd southwestward.

This is the result discussed by Fusong and others after the lottery was drawn this morning.

They would rather take advantage of the 10th and 7th princes on West 1 and 2, rather than miss the prey and go to the southeast to increase the chances of the third prince and eldest brother winning.

The last three are to calculate the total number of prey.

Small things such as pheasants and hares are counted in odd numbers, small deer and roe deer are counted in even numbers, and large deer are counted in triple numbers.

The entire herd of fifty or sixty elk fled south.

When the teams of the Thirteenth Brother and the Eldest Brother arrived at the center one after another, the men of the Ninth Prince's Mansion were driving the herds of deer and only human figures were left...

The Fourth Brother's position was relatively high. When he saw the general situation and direction, he raised the corner of his mouth.

He was actually looking forward to the Ninth Prince's team winning.

Young people need more respect. Even if the fourth brother knows that his strength is not in military training, he still doesn't want to be at the bottom of the first wave of brothers.

He would rather a few younger brothers catch up from behind.

The imperial father was more tolerant towards his later sons.

The eldest brother holds a clairvoyant in his hand. He can't see the movement of people and horses around, but he can see the birds flying in the sky.

When the flying birds started to frighten in the middle of the paddock, it was obvious that their team had not arrived yet.

The eldest brother looked in the direction of the thirteenth brother, thinking it was the manpower sent over there.

The thirteenth elder brother was in the same situation. He mistakenly thought they were the eldest elder brother's men and was very surprised.

The drums sounded and they started to set off. The eldest brother's location on East Three was in the middle, farther than East Two, but it turned out that he arrived first. Is this guard so fast?

No matter what others think, the fifty-five people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion have encircled them for the first time.

The bows they took were all new. They were not as powerful as full bows, but they were enough for shooting elk.

Elk are large and make good targets.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire herd was captured.

Xing Jiang led a few people to cut off ears, pick up arrows, and record the seizures. The others did not leave, but dismounted and joined two dozen people to cut down the dry bushes nearby, artificially narrowing the originally spacious and flat road.

Then, the other two people were holding waist knives and cutting down trees.

This is their second tactic today, which is to surround eight and let one go.

The other teams used to move towards the middle in a normal manner, but animals of all sizes started to frighten and fled towards the middle.

They didn't go to the middle meadow, so it became a funnel.

The beasts that are driven out from all sides will go into this funnel.

How much they can retain is up to them.

The initial tactics of the Thirteenth Brother and the Eldest Brother were similar to those of the Ninth Brother. They also drove the herds towards each camp so that they could encircle the rear army.

The difference is that the Thirteenth Brother told the guards that if the herd does not come due east, it is best to go to the northeast instead of the southeast.

To the northeast is the Fifth Age Camp, and to the southeast is the Big Age Camp.

The eldest brother was just thinking openly and didn't give any orders.

The East Third Camp where he is located is relatively close to both East Second and South Second.

Both of them are younger brothers. Even if he has a preference in his heart, he doesn't want to favor one when walking around.

The deer group of the Thirteenth Brother went to the southeast; the herd of beasts driven by the Big Brother group went to the south.

The fifth elder brother has long been worried that the brothers will compete in the paddock and are not very motivated to win.

This morning the lot was drawn, and the second-worst lot after Dong Er was drawn, which made him even more resigned to his fate.

Before the guards led the people to set off, he gave instructions to just proceed normally and not to take the initiative to snatch the prey from the Fourth and Thirteenth Elders.

His position was exactly between the two of them.

Therefore, when the team on the fifth brother's side saw that the deer driven by the thirteenth brother's team had strayed, they did not raise their bows. Except for a few people who came out to help adjust the direction, the others continued to go to the middle of the paddock.

On the other side, the team from Zhijun Prince's Mansion also ran into the team from Sanbeile Mansion.

Between the two waves of people was a herd of deer.

Before the drums sounded, the third elder brother also made a decision, that is, he would rather face the eldest elder brother than the ninth elder brother.

The eldest brother is an older brother. He is open-minded and does not hold grudges. He will snatch his prey when he is being robbed in the paddock.

Brother Ninth is narrow-minded and his luck is evil, so he should be avoided.

He also ordered his troops not to fight when encountering people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and not to give way to people from Zhijun Prince's Mansion.

In this way, before the people in Zhijun Prince's Mansion could react, someone in Sanbeile Mansion opened their bows and fired.

The follow-up thirty troops from Zhijun Prince's Mansion have not yet arrived. These twenty pioneer troops are not enough to compare with the complete team of Sanbeile Mansion.

In the blink of an eye, less than half of the prey was shot, and the people from Zhijun Prince's Mansion did not waste any time and started shooting arrows with a "whoosh".

By the time more than thirty people from the Zhijun Palace arrived, the first hunt had ended.

The guards of Zhijun Prince's Mansion glared over there...

Elsewhere, people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion were taking stock of the battlefield.

The number of seizures is counted directly by the ears, not by one ear, but by two.

In this way, you don’t have to worry about cheating or claiming falsely.

By the time the people from Xingjiang finished cutting off the deer's ears, the elk's huge carcass had become a part of the roadblock.

The top was directly covered with shrubs, and it looked like a three- or four-foot-high wall.

The antlers were cut off and thrown directly on the ground on the other side of the roadblock, where they were glued to the road and became a road trip.

The others dismounted or rode into the woods.

Chunlin and Fuqing also took deer whistles and started blowing them.

This imitates the sound of a female deer and attracts male deer to come over.

On the meadow in the middle of the paddock, the circle surrounding each team gradually narrowed.

More and more beasts are gathering in the middle.

You must know that the number of deer in Nanyuan Paddock is hundreds, tens of thousands, and the area enclosed here takes up a quarter of the size of the paddock.

There were dozens of deer that were disturbed.

But there are only fifty-five people in each team, so there are quite a few missing.

Even so, the number of beasts driven into the middle is not small.

Just crowding around, everyone started to feel something was wrong.

Why did the beast keep running and strayed from the meadow in the middle?

Which team is so stupid that they don’t surround themselves well?

People from Qibele Mansion and Sanbeile Mansion were the first to notice, because the beasts were running south towards the middle of the two houses.

Where are the people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion?

On the overlooking pavilion, Kangxi and the prince were still watching.

Seeing that the circle was closed and it was time to harvest, they also wanted to see everyone's reaction.

Unexpectedly, there were missing corners and no encirclement.

The prince also had a serious look on his face and said: "The strategist beside Brother Ninth is good. He uses tactics. This is to 'encircle three buildings and one'..."

Kangxi stopped boasting this time and frowned: "It's unkind!"

The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and it was his son who suffered the loss, so he was a little unhappy.

But I'm just a little dissatisfied.

He would be unhappy if the princes tried this trick; for Fu Song, he was much more tolerant.

Moreover, Fusong's move was just to win for the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and he fulfilled his duties faithfully, so it was not a mistake.

In the ambush circle to the south, everyone in the Prince's Mansion watched the smoke and dust rising in the distance and the herds of deer galloping towards them, but they could not stand still.
