143 The Feast of Spring
Spring is blooming, everything is recovering, and grazing on the grassland is finally possible again.
At this time, the sturdy people of the salt department finally have free time, because they don't need too many people to take care of them when grazing, ordinary clansmen are enough, and their strong and strong people can go to other things.
Zhao Hao has always wanted to know how many strong people are among the new clansmen, but before winter, the entire salt department is busy threshing grass, building sheepfolds, cowsheds, and stables, and everyone has no time.
As soon as spring began, he began to recruit the elite among the new people.
As long as the strong people who pass the test are rewarded with three horses per person, and one sheep is sent every month, one cow is issued every year, and when they go out to hunt strange beasts and subdue wild horses, wild sheep and bison herds, as long as there is a harvest, no matter how much, everyone has a score, such a generous condition, the new tribesmen who joined the salt department before the winter last year are naturally as enthusiastic as they are.
Zhao Hao was pleased to find that the proportion of the strong people who joined the salt tribe was not low, three thousand people, more than eight hundred strong, and he went to the Black Stone Department to recruit some young men who had just come of age, and soon gathered nine hundred people and three cavalry battalions.
As for the leaders of the three cavalry battalions, Zhao Hao also chose them, that is, Ah Xing, Shu and Beishan Ah Mu, these three people, but they are all the objects of his special care, and they have not eaten less meat of foreign beasts, and their strength has reached about 3,000 catties at this time, which is basically the same as Ah Shan, just a little worse than Ah Hua, leading three hundred cavalry, which is more than enough.
After the old and new cavalry were assembled, he did not go to the drill himself, because he had more important things to do.
You must know that there are many small tribes annexed by the Salt Department this time, and there are basically five to ten foreign beasts around these small tribes, and the total number of foreign beasts around the more than a dozen small tribes is almost hundreds, this is a rare feast, he naturally wants to try to digest all these strange beasts before Xue Manbu comes to retaliate.
After arranging for Ah Shan and others to be responsible for training the old and new cavalry and arranging the vigilance, he set off with his people.
This time, for the sake of efficiency, he only led three horses and six men into the wild jungle, while the cavalry remained in the grasslands on the outskirts of his hunting area to camp and practice.
The three horses he brought with him were naturally all alien beasts, the kind that could gallop in the wild jungle, including the mounts of the White Dragon, the Black Phoenix and Ah Hua.
As for the six people, except for him, Ah Yun, Ah Yue, Ah Shui, and Ah Hua, the remaining one is the leaders of the small tribes who have newly joined the Salt Ministry, because these people all know where there are strange beasts near their original tribe.
Early this morning, he rode the white dragon with Ah Yun, and asked Ah Yue to ride on the black phoenix with Ah Shui, and let Ah Hua ride on the tank to take the Beishan Amu, a group of six people, just left the temporary cavalry camp and went straight to the old land of the Beishan in the barren jungle.
The speed at which the beasts galloped in the jungle was naturally not comparable to the strength of human feet, and in less than an hour, they had arrived at the old land in the northern mountains.
At this time, the original thatched huts and tree houses in Beishan have long been demolished, and the entire old land in Beishan is a fortress standing alone, Zhao Hao naturally wants to visit the clansmen who guard the fortress, and Beishan Auntie looked at the old land of the tribe that was cleaned up, but she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.
The North Mountain Department disappeared like this, and she, the leader, became a strong man who needed to be commanded.
Alas.
She was sighing there, Zhao Hao suddenly hit the horse and asked, "Beishan, is there a mountain paste around here?" ”
Mountain ointment?
Beishan Auntie couldn't help but be curious: "What is mountain ointment?" ”
I fainted to death, and I forgot to introduce all kinds of strange beasts to others.
Zhao Hao hurriedly explained: "It's the kind of wild boar beast that is about the same height as a human. ”
Beishan's mother suddenly said: "Oh, it's the big scary wild boar king, yes, yes." ”
When Zhao Hao heard this, he immediately waved his hand without hesitation: "That's okay, you show the way, let's head hunt the mountain paste today." ”
Yes?
Just go for it!
When Beishan Auntie heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, although her strength has skyrocketed to about 3,000 catties at this time, she is still quite afraid of foreign beasts, because the strength of foreign beasts is at least more than 5,000 catties, and besides, where is the body shape of the mountain paste, the strength is definitely more than 5,000 catties, and six people just rushed over like this, can you do it?
She was stunned for a moment, and then stammered: "We, don't we need to prepare something?" ”
Is there anything else you need to prepare to hunt strange beasts now?
Zhao Hao said a little proudly: "No, your road is just on the road, it's just a mountain ointment, it's not a hand-to-hand capture." ”
This!
Well, she hasn't seen the strength of this Heavenly Leader yet, but this time, it's just the right time to see it.
Thinking of this, Beishan's mother directly raised her hand to the south, and then explained: "All the way to the south, about half a day's journey." ”
When Zhao Hao heard this, he immediately threw the reins and took the lead to run south.
This half-day journey is naturally calculated according to the strength of human feet, and it does not take an hour for the three beasts to run over.
Although Beishan's mother had been mentally prepared, she was still frightened when she watched Zhao Hao beat her horse and go straight to the woods where the alien beast mountain paste was.
This is too reckless, there is a huge beast inside!
Before she could figure out how to dissuade Zhao Hao, the enraged mountain paste had already rushed out of the woods and crashed into the white dragon frantically.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao directly pulled out the divine weapon, flew to the mountain paste with a swish, and raised his hand to swing it over.
With a "poof", the mountain paste that had just returned to the mighty and domineering fell to the ground and convulsed.
That's it!
Beishan Auntie couldn't believe her eyes, a strange beast, instantly fell down, how strong is the strength of the leader this day?
She was stunned, but the others were used to it, Zhao Hao stepped forward and kicked the mountain paste a few times, until it was sure that the mountain paste was out of breath, and then asked Ah Yun, Ah Yue and Ah Shui Ma to help.
The four of them grabbed a leg and easily moved the mountain paste to Bailong's back, and Zhao Hao took out the cowhide rope that had been prepared and tied it, which was really over.
He didn't be verbose, he directly waved his hand and took Ah Yue and Ah Shui to ride on the black phoenix, and let Ah Yun ride on the back of the tank, then waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, go back to the camp!" ”
This trip, it took less than half a day in total, and a mountain paste was pulled back to the cavalry camp, until Zhao Hao began to decompose the mountain paste, and Beishan Mother was still a little unable to react.
Originally, she thought that to hunt a strange beast, she would definitely have to organize dozens or even hundreds of people, and it would take a few days to do it, but who would have thought that hunting a strange beast would be so simple for Zhao Hao!
A mountain paste, removing the internal organs, is more than 2,000 catties of meat, and at this time, the number of cavalry has reached more than 2,400 people, which seems to be a bit insufficient.
Zhao Hao could only give the old cavalry a pound of flesh and blood first, and let them open the meat.
The next day, he took Beishan Amu and others to hunt a pig demon, gave all the new cavalry a pound of flesh and bones, and let them also open the meat, and this spring feast was officially started.
