Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Betrayed King

It's not uncommon for wild beasts to fight back against humans, there was a she-wolf who did this when he was in Qingxiang Valley, and finally he was specially infected with rabies and wanted to bite a few more people to death for burial. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If it weren't for being killed by Meng Yuanzhi, maybe many people would really be unlucky.

In the past, Tie Xinyuan had heard of a strange story, a Guizhou donkey murdered the hostess, the middle layout is exquisite, the concealment of things, which is terrifying.

The iron fox of the Tie Xinyuan family is very smart, and if it becomes a human, it will have at least the intelligence of a three-year-old child.

Hu Laosan's method of using foals to lure the horses is actually not very clever, it will cause the horses to be even more angry, if they are not in the valley but on the flat grassland, more than 10,000 wild horses will trample the group of Tie Xinyuan to death.

Therefore, Tie Xinyuan deliberately raised the level of vigilance to the height of war.

The herdsmen were a little unimpressed, and they all felt that this noble man might be crazy, and they all set up a camp with emotions, and after being whipped by Hu Laosan, they finally erected the camp in the evening.

The camp was on a high slope, with its back to the cliff and only a narrow canyon in front of it, and Hu Laosan even ordered the herdsmen to dig a trench in front of the camp, which was full of dry firewood.

They have experience in guarding against wild horses and camps, but they know how to prevent them from being attacked by wild wolves.

The lame Zhang Tong sat on a chair and smiled, he thought the whole thing was very interesting.

Meng Yuanzhi patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Don't be too happy, the sneak attack of the wild horse sounds very weird, you can only laugh at the wild horse's incompetence, you can't laugh at the whimsy of the patriarch, do you understand?" ”

When Zhang Tong heard this, he couldn't laugh anymore, he himself knew very well what the difference between up and down was, and laughing at his patriarch was a very stupid thing in itself.

Tie Xinyuan took Ga Ga and Yu Chiwen to start checking the wild horses harvested today, not bad, there are already three hundred and forty-two adult horses, but there are not too many of the most valuable stallions, only more than fifty, and the rest are mares, but the number of foals is very amazing, there are eight hundred and sixty-one, most of them are stopped in the encirclement by the earth cliff and can't escape.

There was no way to stay in the camp, and there was the neighing of wild horses everywhere, especially the crookies of the foals.

There are so many foals that they don't live for more than ten days if they don't have enough mares to nurse them.

In fact, by now, more than a dozen foals who had been injured by the herd had died.

The slaves' dinner was very chic, that is, the dead foals, skinned and thrown into the soup pot, and after a meal, the foals were left with only a pile of bones.

The foals in the camp barked all night, and there were adult horses outside the valley, and the barking was very desolate after calling outside all night.

Tie Xinyuan didn't sleep well all night, everyone didn't sleep well, more than a thousand large and small horses that were captured, they didn't eat or drink all night, and the grumpy wild horses formed a circle to protect the foals in the innermost, even if they were already tied together, they still put in a very round circle.

The breath of spring has not yet reached the barren Hengshan, and the weather is still bitterly cold at night, and all the mares bow their front legs and hold the foals to their chests, while all the stallions shake their tails apart and cover the heads of the horses behind them. Layers of ponytails, spread out in an orderly manner, like a heavy felt woven from the ponytail, covering the heads of all the horses, the ignorant foals are trying to find **** to suck under the belly of the mare, and under hunger, they don't even let go of the stallion.

After a night of nervousness, the wild horses wandered outside the valley, but they did not rush in, Tie Xinyuan, who climbed out of the tent, stretched his waist, and Hu Laosan immediately ran over to report.

There are a lot of mares outside the fence!

When he came to the fence, Tie Xinyuan saw more than two hundred mares, and he only had to look at the bulging breasts under their bellies to know that these mares should be the mothers of those foals.

Why don't mares who have thrown themselves into the net?

Tie Xinyuan asked Hu Laosan to open a door in the fence, and the mares lined up quickly into the camp and ran to the stable as soon as possible.

The pony ran out of the herd of horses, looking for his mother, and immediately sucked it with a **** in his mouth.

Under the belly of a mare, there are usually two foals, and the foals who can't find their mother will also take the opportunity to rub some mare's milk to drink.

"It's not a good thing to have more mares and foals, it's forage-intensive, it's hard to manage, and it's not worth much."

Hu Laosan was muttering and complaining here, according to his intentions, he shouldn't have wanted these cumbersome mares.

Meng Yuanzhi, who went out to investigate early in the morning, came back, and after taking a sip of gruel, he said with a smile: "The wild horses are outside, but they don't enter the canyon anymore, so they stay at the mouth and wait for us to pass." ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Then light a powder bullet behind them, force them into the valley, and then catch them." ”

Meng Yuanzhi was about to nod, but Zhang Tong suddenly interjected: "We might as well set the grassland on fire behind the horses, I heard General Meng say that gunpowder shells are very expensive." ”

Meng Yuanzhi slapped Zhang Tong on the back and said, "This is a good idea, the wild horse is not worth much, we can't lose too much."

Throwing gunpowder bullets may lead to a few fish that slip through the net, and all the wild horses in the grassland can only drill into the valley. ”

When Hu Laosan heard that the grassland was going to be ignited, his face turned white with fright, and he waved his hand again and again: "You can't do this, you don't know how terrible the fire on the grassland is, once it really spreads, the sparks will run with the wind, even if you ride a horse, you can't run away from the flames, and when the time comes, none of us in our group can run away." ”

Meng Yuan directly tested the direction of the wind and said with a smile: "It's the northwest wind now, and we are in the east, the flames will only go to the southeast, at most they will pass by from our side, and the fire is just to scare the horses, who is going to set fire to all the grasslands, besides, there are large wastelands outside the foot of the mountain, and there are not a few grasses growing, so I will take a few brave and good riding people to set fire to it after eating." ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded and said: "We don't have much time, this method is the fastest, even if it is a risk, it must be done, at most it is necessary to clear a firebreak." ”

Hu Laosan saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he plucked up the courage and hoped that Meng Yuanzhi could take him to make some contributions.

Contrary to Tie Xinyuan's expectations, Zhang Cheng also stood up, and his son also wanted to go, but was kicked and beaten back by Zhang Cheng.

Hu Laosan didn't make it, and Tie Xinyuan hoped that he could help the Qingxiang Valley warriors suppress these herdsmen.

The mouth of the valley could not be escaped, and the wild horses guarding the mouth of the valley were frantically slaughtering all the living creatures that came out of the valley.

Tie Xinyuan saw with his own eyes that these wild horses even had to trample rabbits into meat puree before they stopped, and as for those wild wolves and wild dogs who were frightened by the gunpowder bombs that exploded yesterday, they died even more miserably, and each of them was trampled into meat sauce.

Compared with wild horses, the biggest advantage is that they can climb, and those earth cliffs that are unattainable for wild horses are not a problem for people, and even less for Meng Yuanzhi.

At noon, Tie Xinyuan stood on the top of the mountain and saw smoke rising from the grass in the distance.

At first it was just a fire, and after a while, there were a hundred and ten fires, and under the impetus of the northwest wind, a large area of flames began to cover from the northwest to the southeast, and under the guidance of nature, the scattered horses gradually poured towards the mouth of the valley.

Suddenly, an extremely high-pitched horse roar sounded in the herd, which was like a dragon's roar and a tiger's roar.

The snow-blue horse king suddenly spread his legs and galloped south along the base of the mountain, and if fast enough, they should be able to pass through the incendiary belt before the flames arrived.

Meng Yuanzhi was guarding the south, and that was a hole he had deliberately left behind, and if only a few wild horses ran away from here, he would not pay attention to it.

It's a pity that with the call of the King of Horses, all the wild horses did not enter the valley, and all ran south, how could he ignore it.

There was a "boom", and the gunpowder shell exploded just as the horses were about to arrive, filling the air with smoke, and the dark red flames were about to ignite a large area.

The jujube red horse at the head stood up, neighing, but when it landed, its hooves were already backwards.

There were many wild horses with the same movements, and in an instant, the wild horses were in chaos, and no matter how the snow-blue horse king neighed, many wild horses did not dare to move forward, but ran backwards.

Soon, to the south, only the snow-blue horse king stood on the grass and neighed angrily at the distant horses.

"Their king has been betrayed."

Yu Chiwen stood up and pointed to the snow green horse and said to Tie Xinyuan.

Tie Xinyuan shook his head with a piece of hay in his mouth and said: "That jujube red horse may be about the same status as it, and the snow green horse's failure to drive away the jujube red horse is its biggest failure, so ah, in the matter of royal power, there is no mercy at all, whether it is for the horses or the crowd." ”

Seeing that the flames ignited by the gunpowder bomb were quickly extinguished, Ga Ga said a little unwillingly: "That horse king is going to run away, otherwise it would be good to catch it back and use it as a mount for the patriarch." ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "It won't run, even if it can run away, he won't run, if you don't clean up the jujube red horse, it won't run away anyway." ”

"After cleaning up the jujube red horse, he won't have a chance to run." Wei Chiwen, this kid is a little sad.

Sure enough, the snow-green horse stood on the spot, and Anse chased in the direction of the galloping horses.

The red horse was not a fool, and he did not lead the herd into the valley, although some wild horses were squeezed into the valley, he still led the herd of horses to gallop over the shrinking pasture, like a fly without a head.

There were many shepherd slaves guarding the mouth of the valley, and they frantically threw rope nets into the galloping horses, and after a short time, the wild horses that fell down at the mouth of the valley lay on the ground, and the happy herdsmen laughed and struggled to drag the fallen wild horses into the valley.

It's the first time they've ever caught a wild horse like this. (To be continued.) )
