On the northern edge of the grassland, thousands of simple tree houses were built in a haphazard manner in the wild jungle, and General Anmu of Xue Man's Department couldn't help frowning after inspecting more than a dozen of his cronies.

These people are simply a rabble!

With such a chaotic group of people, he really had a headache when he looked at it.

However, he had no choice, because the western flank of Xue Man's Department really couldn't draw any elite soldiers, after all, their main opponent was the Taihua Division, and the north was the important place they needed to defend, and even the five hundred soldiers he brought rushed back after delivering the meat.

He could only take these improvised patchwork youths to war against the newly rising tribes in the south.

To be honest, he has never commanded so many people, because the total number of elite soldiers in the west wing of Xue Man's department is more than 2,000, and he can command 500 soldiers at most, which is like this time, the mess of young men adds up to 5,000!

Although there is no concept of the right time, place and people, and the war is not chaotic, at least, the weather and food still have to be considered.

An Mu is also a veteran of the battlefield, so he naturally knows how to fight, even if all the five thousand young men are assembled, he is not in a hurry to march south.

Because, at this time, not only do they not have enough food, but the weather is also extremely unfavorable for them.

You know, they don't have tents, when they are in the wild jungle, they can also build a simple tree house to shelter from the wind and rain, once they enter the grassland, it is the sky and the ground as a bed, let the wind and rain shower.

Therefore, he did not dare to take so many people into the grassland in the spring when the temperature was low, and only waited until the summer when the temperature was high.

This is also the reason why Tu Meng only asked him to bring 100,000 catties of meat, because these people still have a lot of time to hunt meat.

Next, he ordered Wu, the leader of the Nanjiang Tribe, to take these people and start hunting for meat.

These 5,000 people are all young and strong, and they are quite good at hunting, so to speak, within a radius of more than ten miles, as long as the prey that can be hunted, they basically can't escape their hunting.

It's a pity that even if there are more prey in this vicinity, it is not enough for them to go back and forth for half a year.

You know, there are 5,000 of them, a person, even if he only eats one pound of meat a day, it is 30 catties a month, half a year, that is almost 200 catties, 5,000 people, that is 1 million catties!

More than ten miles away, how can it be possible to hunt millions of catties of meat.

In desperation, he could only order Wu to take these young men to hunt cattle and sheep on the grassland.

There are cattle and sheep on the grassland, he naturally knows, everyone knows this, but everyone also knows that there are not only cattle and sheep on the grassland, but also fierce beasts, if it is a single tiger and wolf, it is just that, if he encounters a wolf pack, he will be useless even if he takes five thousand young people.

The wild wolves on the grassland, there are thousands at every turn, and 5,000 young people have encountered tens of thousands of hungry wolves, have they ever done it?

No one has tried this, and no one dares to try it, after all, if the wild wolf is hungry, it will be fatal, and tens of thousands of wild wolves will rush over without dying, who can stop it!

Fortunately, Wu Ben, the leader of the Nanjiang Tribe, was a cautious person, he did not run around on the grassland with 5,000 young people, every time, he ordered a small number of young people to carefully investigate and make sure that there was no danger before taking most of the people to hunt.

In this way, the wild wolves basically can't threaten them, and they have a lot of gains, at least, these five thousand people don't have to go hungry, but it is basically impossible to reserve millions of catties of meat.

They didn't have any horses to ride on, and if they walked on their legs to explore, they would be able to go deep into the grassland for forty or fifty miles a day at most, and if they were farther, they wouldn't be able to return to the treehouses in the jungle.

Moreover, even if they encountered a herd of bison, a herd of wild sheep and a herd of wild horses, they could only stare dryly, because they could not outrun these animals, especially wild horses and wild sheep, and those who were less than a thousand pounds of speed could not keep up with them.

Only when they encounter a herd of bison, they still have a chance, they can harvest a few slow runners, to say that the herd of bison surrounds, they don't dare, because once the bison initiates madness, it is also quite terrifying, thousands of bison run in one direction, even if it is five thousand young people do not dare to stop.

Therefore, they can basically only hunt those scattered bison and wild sheep on the edge of the grassland, and they dare not go deep into the grassland to hunt wild cattle and wild sheep.

When they were working hard to prepare for the war, Haotian was not idle, Zhao Hao had already let the eight battalions each transfer three hundred elite cavalry to form a cavalry regiment of more than 2,400 people, at this time they were also hunting, because Zhao Hao had not many livestock in his hands, and he could not afford to raise more than two thousand cavalry.

However, what they hunt is different, and the herds of bison and wild sheep in the steppe are their targets.

This time, Zhao Hao didn't want to hunt too many cattle and sheep, after all, they were preparing for war, not expanding the number of livestock, so he sent scouts to look for them near the temporary camp.

The speed of this horse galloping is more than ten times faster than the speed of a human walking, and if the scouts search, it is not a problem to find a range of 500 miles a day, dozens of groups of scouts were sent out, and the news soon came back, and there were large herds of bison and wild sheep in the northeast of the temporary camp.

Zhao Haodang took Ah Hua and Ah Shan and them, and led more than 2,000 cavalry to set off.

At this time, it was naturally easy for him to subdue a herd of bison or wild sheep guarded by alien beasts, but this time, he was still not ready to make a move, because he wanted to take this opportunity to practice well, and at the same time prepare for exploring the grassland in the future.

After all, the grassland was so big, and it would take at least a few years for him to personally lead his cavalry to all places, and he didn't have the time to waste time on this kind of thing, so he was ready to let the battalion generals lead their own teams to subdue the herds of bison, wild sheep, and wild horses.

This time, the first wave of hunting was a herd of bison, and Zhao Hao handed over the task to Ah Hua and the three hundred elite horsemen of the Heavenly God Battalion under her.

Ah Hua is also a master with strength of nearly 10,000 catties at this time, and the bull monster or something is naturally no threat to her, she followed Zhao Hao's example, and directly asked her cavalry to surround her, and then rushed up on a xenomorph horse alone.

The bull monster guarding the bison herd could not bear this provocation, and before she could rush to the bison herd, a huge bull monster slammed into her with a terrifying horn.

Ah Hua was not ambiguous, and flew up directly from the horse, drew a long knife, and rushed straight towards the bull monster.

Although the long knife in her hand is not a divine weapon, it is also a well-crafted thick-backed machete, weighing seventy or eighty pounds, even if it is not used to cut or smash, the power is quite terrifying.

This bull monster doesn't know the power of the thick-backed machete in Ah Hua's hand, it only knows that it will hit it headlong and kill this guy.

The result can be imagined, Ah Hua directly raised the thick-backed machete, and slashed down at the head of the bull monster, the powerful knife is much stronger than the knife wind of the divine knife, and the bull monster was directly opened by her!

The next thing is to subdue the herd, three hundred elite horsemen go down with a rain of arrows, and then slash and kill with long knives and spears in hand, even the wild cattle that are running frantically are also captured by their momentum, and shrink into a ball in fear.

Now, it is so simple for Haotian to subdue the bison herd, thousands of bison were packed up in less than an hour, and the meat of more than 2,000 cavalry for several months was solved in this way, and the next subjugation of the wild sheep herd was just a training exercise to enrich the types of meat.

This is the gap, the young people of those tribes subdued by the west wing of the Xue Manbu are desperately hunting for half a year's meat reserves, and they may not be ready for a month or two, while the Haotian Department can hunt enough meat in just a few days!

If Tu Meng knew that the gap between the two sides was so big, I am afraid that he would not dare to send troops to retaliate, at least, he would not dare before receiving support.

Unfortunately, he didn't know it at all.
