Chapter 0384: Mammoth
Half an hour later, Zhang Heng arrived at the cave of the Yun tribe, which also belongs to the cave people civilization on the top of the mountain, except for the log tribe, he has never heard of any tribe living outside the cave, of course, the migrating tribe is not counted, this tribe is more like a nomad.
"Wang, the Yun tribe has a total population of seven hundred and eighty-five, five hundred and twenty-three adult men, fifty-nine killed in battle, nearly three hundred wounded, one hundred and sixty-five adult women, eighty-nine children, and eight old men, one of whom is a wizard." Su Xiu reported clearly.
But Zhang Heng just nodded slightly, and continued to focus on the carving on the cave wall, although the lines on it were relatively chaotic, but Zhang Heng could already distinguish some information by himself, such as totems, the totem of the cloud tribe is actually a four-legged beast running on the clouds, very similar to the dragon's head, horse body, four hooves, snake scales, antlers, lion eyes, tiger back, bear waist, oxtail, roar like thunder!
This pattern is very similar to the auspicious beast unicorn depicted in modern times, and the unicorn is also common in the temple, but it is only like a god, and it should not be the same, because this pattern is a collection of many kinds of beasts in the space, and the beasts of the space are somewhat different from modern times, and naturally they cannot be completely the same.
"Suspicious? This is? Zhang Heng was suddenly attracted by another pattern next to him, which depicted a huge elephant pattern, since he visited the zoo, he had a more comprehensive understanding of animals, but the elephant on the pattern was a bit exaggerated, it actually took more than fifty primitive people to hunt, and the battle scene was drawn a large piece, obviously after a tragic battle.
"King, this should be what the scorn and barbarians call a mammoth." The old doctor spoke up, and several of the accompanying wizards had already entered the cave. The portrayal is being studied, and these are the inheritance of the Cloud Tribe. It is the spark of civilization, and civilization will not be extinguished. can continue to be brilliant.
And the wizard of the cloud tribe is also in the cave, but he keeps his mouth shut and doesn't say anything, Zhang Heng can only express helplessness in this regard, it's a pity to kill, it's too much to let him be a slave, except for the identity of the wizard, the other party is already an old man, and the war should have nothing to do with the old man and children.
"You go and ask. Where are there mammoths, and where are the circulating Youfang tribes, slaves are also divided into levels, building a city is just tiring, but digging coal for mining will be fatal, then let the people of the Youfang tribe dig coal for Taihao! Zhang Heng said calmly, Youfang is a tribe that kills people, and he naturally does not need to have a psychological burden to deal with it.
Half an hour later. The skeleton of a huge elephant was found, and there were dozens of tusks, and the skeleton and tusks alone were terrifying.
"Mammoths, ancient beasts that became extinct between 3,000 and 10,000 years ago. It is six meters long, four meters high, and its incisors are 1.5 meters long. Weighing six to ten tons, an adult mammoth can easily exceed 10,000 catties. Fine, long, hairy. The skin is thick and has an extremely thick layer of fat. Up to nine centimeters, tan-colored, its back is the highest point of its body, it descends very steeply from its back, there is a pronounced depression in the neck, its epidermis is covered with long hair, like a hunchbacked old man, it has a strong attacking power, it lives in cold regions, it lives on grass and shrub leaves, it is an important target for primitive people to hunt, and it is also the favorite prey of the saber-toothed tiger, the gestation period is about twenty-two months, or even longer, it lives in a fixed area, unlike modern elephants, which generally migrate with the seasons......" It was actually a female doctor who spoke out, and she told the mammoth information in detail in one mouth.
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "This can only be used as a reference, and you will only know if you kill it!" ”
A piece of ivory has already been acquired, and it has the length and weight, but it is too curved to be used as a weapon, unless someone specializes in this one, shook his head, at least he won't.
"Collect all the valuable things and put the ivory together!" Zhang Heng put it down after playing for a while, no matter how valuable the ivory was, but he was not interested in it alone, and now he had already passed the mentality of putting the bank card in his underwear.
――――――――
After resting in the Yun tribe for three days, the old doctor excitedly took over the management rights, and always pulled Da Wuyan to ask about some tribal things during the three days, Zhang Heng seemed to see reincarnation from the figures of the two, as for the reason, he couldn't say.
In the early morning of the fourth day, everyone, even the seriously injured were carried out, Zhang Heng stood on the high platform specially built by Jiang'an and shouted: "I am the Sun King of the Taihao tribe, from now on this is my territory, you are all my slaves, now I will take away the men who can still fight, this is one, this is three, as long as one of you captures three slaves for me, you can officially become the people of Taihao, there is only one chance, if you don't want to become a slave, fight for me, but if there are rebels, slaughter on the spot!" ”
"Kill, kill, kill!" The Taihao warriors roared in unison.
Zhang Heng shouted again: "Now, my Taihao warriors, the warriors of the Sun King, please raise another weapon on the chariot, this weapon has a blade, you will use it to kill, just ahead there are evil tribes, and there are giant beasts like mountains, I want you to dye the weapons in your hands red, the color of the sun, and the color of blood, fight, the Sun King is with you!" ”
"Fight, fight! Long live the Sun King! ”
The army continued on the road, and Taihao left two hundred soldiers and more than a thousand monkeys on his side, but took away three hundred soldiers from the Yun tribe, totaling more than nine hundred, and continued to go south.
But who would have thought, this walk was as long as half a month, and not even a single tribe was found on the way, only more vicious beasts, dozens of large and small beasts were slaughtered, and some animals that had not been seen before were also seen, but they were not as fierce as the Destruction Tiger and the Raccoon, not to mention the deep beach giant snake.
"King, why don't we give up the chariot!" Su Xiu persuaded that if it weren't for the drag of the chariot, he should have been able to cross the mountains and forests as early as ten days ago.
Zhang Heng shook his head and replied: "Don't you notice that the farther you go forward, the colder the weather becomes, this is spring, it should be a warmer and warmer season, even if it rains, it will not cool down on a large scale, this alone can prove that the front will be unusually cold, the people of the Yun tribe are different, because they often come here, but our warriors are different, the climate is likely to affect the combat effectiveness, through the mountains and forests is the plain, to the plain forty chariots are powerful enough to attack any powerful tribe." ”
The left bow and the right spear control the string, pulled by the bull-headed horse-body beast, and the accompanying seventeen warrior guards cooperated, this is the configuration of the chariot, in addition to attacking, it can also be used to resist, pull food, and now they have come here, even if it is lifted, it is necessary to carry the chariot out of the mountain range.
It is precisely in response to Zhang Heng's words that the last broken road chariot is not passable at all, unless a lot of time is wasted to open up wasteland and repair roads, which is obviously more suitable for pre-war, and after a winter break, in order to be the current campaign, if it becomes a tired division, then it will put the cart before the horse. Then I had to carry the chariot and move slowly.
It was another five solar days, and the team of nearly a thousand people finally crossed the last mountain forest, and the vast prairie came into view, lingering until the sky, and there was a huge herd of beasts running in the distance, which was really huge, and a rough sweep could see the number of hundreds.
"Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep! Zhang Heng couldn't help humming the folk song learned in this book, this is originally a nomadic tune, not to mention the artistic conception of the words, just this tune can show the vast grassland in front of him.
"I, Zhang Heng, the Sun King, want to conquer here, and the beasts running on the grassland, the vegetation that grows, and the birds and birds that fly in the future are all my property!" A rather arrogant voice followed.
Followed by cheers and the sound of chariots landing, the chariots that surpassed this era finally had a place to use, galloping on this vast grassland!
"Look, Wang, what is that?" Su Xiu suddenly pointed to the distance and exclaimed in surprise.
But Zhang Heng didn't have to be surprised at all, if there was really something, how could so many primordial warriors not find out, and when he looked in the direction of his finger, sure enough, Su Xiu was making a fuss, it was just a flock of big birds flying from the sky.
"Sun King, kill the vulture, the vulture." The voice turned out to be the wizard candle of the cloud tribe, the candle had never spoken before, but now the sudden voice immediately attracted Zhang Heng's attention.
"Vultures? Is there anything special? Translate for me right away. Zhang Heng commanded.
Flocks of vultures flew from the sky, only the size of a basin, with the arm strength of primitive people, one punch can blow one, it really does not pose a threat, but Zhang Heng noticed that the three hundred cloud tribe warriors brought out were also a little uneasy, but they were not afraid, which was a bit special.
After a while, Su Xiu said loudly: "Wang, what they said about the vulture will rob the tribe's spoils, and after hunting the beast, the vultures will come to rob it, and they will also steal the corpses of primitive people after they die, and the people here are directly put into the caves of the cliff after they die......" In the end, Su Xiu's voice became smaller and smaller, obviously it was always scary for women to talk about corpses.
But Zhang Heng has a big heart, after the death of the people in the village, it will be placed in the hall as a dojo, the poor family will be placed for two days, the wealthy will be placed for four days, and it will be put into the coffin after the dojo is done, in short, the corpse is not terrible, the cowardice is only in his own heart!
At this time, I am a little curious about the customs here, in fact, there are few times when the corpses of primitive people are left in the area of Taihao, as for the treatment, Zhang Heng directly arranged to bury it, the dead are big, and pay attention to one into the soil for safety.
But I didn't expect this area to be put in a cave on the cliff and let it rot and weather, this is a heavenly burial!
