Chapter Ninety-Eight: Catching Horses and Catching Them Becomes War
Ninety-eight, the capture of horses became a war
"Yo-hehe-"
Hu Laosan rode on horseback like a majestic general. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yo-hehe-"
The rest of the shepherds roared along, and the sound was blocked by the cliff wall of the valley and formed a huge roar.
The wild horses stopped grazing and looked up vigilantly for the source of the sound, and the foals quickly burrowed under the mares' belly, and the strong stallions had come out of the group.
"Yo-hehe-"
Hu Laosan roared again, and the rest of the herdsmen followed suit, and the wild horses began to move slowly.
They seem to know that the environment in the valley is not good for them, and some of the stallions have begun to move out of the valley.
At the mouth of the valley, six thick rope nets appeared overnight, according to Hu Laosan's prediction, these six big nets can stop at least twenty percent of the wild horses, as for the jujube red horse that Meng Yuanzhi has coveted for a long time, Hu Laosan thinks that it is the mount of the gods, not something that mortals can catch.
Tie Xinyuan wanted the snow-blue wild horse the most, but he knew that it would be too difficult to capture the horse king, so he didn't say the idea.
The wild horses did start to move, but this was not what Hu Laosan and they expected, some of the wild horses were indeed running towards the mouth of the valley, and some extremely strong stallions, not only did not escape, but rushed towards Hu Laosan and their team.
The jujube red wild horse seemed to be the vanguard of this wild horse herd, it avoided the rope net that Hu Laosan and they were holding, but turned a corner and rushed towards the small mountain where Tie Xinyuan and Meng Yuanzhi were standing, and behind him, countless wild horses let out a violent roar and followed the horse on the undulating mountain, galloping.
The scene in front of him made Tie Xinyuan a little intoxicated, when a divine horse, a dragon seed, and a real horse were walking towards you. That kind of arrogance, that combination of strength and beauty, made him intoxicated.
It was so handsome, strong, and proud!
Its four legs are long, the ankle bones above the hoof are thick, its hind hooves are always in front of the hoof prints left by its front hooves, it holds its proud head high, it shakes its graceful mane, it strides calmly, mightily, and generously......
"Run!"
Meng Yuanzhi dragged Tie Xinyuan down the hill indiscriminately, he had already run down, only to find out later that Tie Xinyuan was still standing on the mountain bag and was stupid, so he rushed up again and dragged this fool down.
Tie Xinyuan's big green horse saw the neighing of the jujube red horse and happily greeted it, but I didn't expect that the jujube red horse who returned you and me yesterday stood up, kicked the big green horse out with a hoof, and the big green horse screamed and hurriedly ran in the direction of Tie Xinyuan's escape.
Meng Yuanzhi, who was hiding behind the stone again, was anxiously looking forward to the Zao Red Horse being able to run down the mountain bag, and at the bottom of the mountain bag, two barricades were placed there, if the Zao Red Horse hit it head-on, Meng Yuanzhi felt that the horse should be his own.
Standing on the mountain bag, the jujube red horse kicked the rocks on the mountain bag with his hooves irritably, making it dusty and impossible to see anything clearly.
Hu Laosan and they have already harvested, one hundred and ten wild horses hit the net headlong, their heads and necks have been drilled through the hole in the rope net, the wild horses continue to rush forward with the rope net, so a huge rope net is covered in the body of this group of wild horses, and finally they are entangled to death, one by one fell to the ground.
After the smoke and dust cleared, the jujube red horse had disappeared, and Meng Yuan gasped and said, "It can't know that we have an ambush, right?" ”
Tie Xinyuan gritted his teeth and said, "This guy probably already has a spirit, and I even think that snow-blue horse king may be even more difficult. ”
Meng Yuan spat out a mouthful of saliva and said: "Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, our group of people will not be able to deal with a group of wild horses!" ”
After speaking, a few ups and downs climbed up the mountain bag, and he was horrified to find that the jujube red horse was chasing Hu Laosan and them all over the mountains, roaring like a dragon with his mouth open, while the rest of the wild horses were biting the rope net, dragging the wild horses trapped by the rope net to go out.
Tie Xinyuan also climbed up the mountain bag, looking around and couldn't see the shadow of the snow-blue horse king, until a violent neighing sound came from the mouth of the valley, Tie Xinyuan was sure that the horse king was rushing towards the mouth of the valley with a large herd of wild horses.
A loud explosion of a gunpowder bomb roared in the valley, and Tie Xinyuan was a little worried, Gaga, and Wei Chiwen, how critical was the matter, and they would force Gaga's throw out a gunpowder bullet to scare off the wild horses?
It turns out that in the face of gunpowder bombs, as long as there are no wild beasts who are not afraid, in a moment, the herd of wild horses, which was still very orderly just now, suddenly became a mess, running and bumping like headless flies, so that more wild horses crashed into the rope net.
Zao Hongma was also frightened by this thunder, and no longer chased Hu Laosan, who was full of urine, and quickly returned to the messy herd, and soon disappeared.
Hu Laosan and the others were also very scared, there was a huge thunder in the winter, which made them feel that they were doing something unreasonable.
However, as soon as Hu Laosan thought of Tie Xinyuan's gentle face, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and it was a face full of trust in himself.
"****, the Khitan people have created so many sins on us without being struck by lightning, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that the Lei Guild is so eyeless, and it specializes in slashing us bitterly haha."
When he had finished roaring, he was the first to jump down from his horse, took out the short rope with a live buckle that was piled on one side, tied it to the two front hooves of the trapped wild horse, and tied the iron chew skillfully to the horse's mouth......
The rest of the slaves also mustered up the courage to dismount and help, and in a few moments a hundred and ten wild horses tied in a string were freed from the net.
They will be knocked down, open their mouths to bite, and they will not be able to close their mouths with iron chews, and there will be no means available except to jump in place.
Hu Laosan is most proud of this net to catch a lot of foals, most of these foals are less than half a year old, when the mare is caught, they will only surround the mare's side, constantly fluttering and calling, not leaving an inch.
With these more than 30 foals, Hu Laosan was very proud, and he didn't believe that other adult horses would come to the rescue.
The rope was attached to the iron spike, but the iron spike pierced the wild horse's neck, and the wild horse neighed loudly in pain at the slightest movement.
Hu Laosan led a wild horse in front, dodged to avoid the wild horse's mouth, and pulled the iron spike to let the wild horse follow his body.
On the other side of the valley, a huge stable has been built to keep all the wild horses in it.
When Tie Xinyuan and Meng Yuan came straight to the mouth of the valley, they were startled, four of the rope nets woven by six thumb-thick hemp ropes had been torn apart, although there were still a lot of wild horses entangled in the rope nets, but these rope nets were no longer of great use.
There were shepherds who were tying horses, and by the same means, by the same methods, in a short time, the mouth of the valley was cleared, and four of the same large nets were rearranged at the mouth of the valley.
The difference is that these big nets did not seal the mouth of the valley, but still left a big gap, and it was not until the last big net that the canyon was really sealed up with a width of only 200 steps.
"Where have all the wild horses gone?"
Tie Xinyuan looked around and couldn't see the horses, and asked Quack suspiciously.
"A snow-blue horse led the herd of wild horses to the valley on the left."
Tie Xinyuan looked at the valley on the left suspiciously, it was a complete dead end, and the wild horses had all burrowed into it?
Meng Yuan patted Tie Xinyuan's arm, and then carried his short spear into the small canyon on the left, and Zhang Cheng, an old shepherd slave, followed him in.
Yokoyama multi-divergent road.
This doomed this stone mountain with dangerous terrain became the dividing line between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Kingdom.
Tie Xinyuan would rather believe that this was a helpless move by the wild horses in a panic.
An hour later, Meng Yuanzhi came out of the canyon without finding anything, pointed to the canyon and said to Tie Xinyuan: "The wild horses are going over the mountain!" ”
"Over the mountain?"
Tie Xinyuan looked down at his hands, then at the four round hooves of his big green horse, and looked at Meng Yuanzhi puzzled.
Meng Yuanzhi said funny: "They are really climbing the mountain, the cliff more than one zhang high has been trampled by the hooves of wild horses, and now it has become a big slope, and people have been freed from difficulties, leaving a large group of foals who can't climb up where to call." ”
Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "It's hard to understand, but have these shepherds ever encountered such a thing?" ”
Meng Yuan smiled and said: "I asked Zhang Cheng when I first came out, and that guy said that this kind of thing had never happened, and now he was afraid to die, and he said that we had offended Longma, and Longma was the mount of the prince of Ma, and we would be punished, and now I am kowtowing to God and begging for mercy." ”
"What's beyond the cliff?"
"Some low slopes and mountain bags, people are now dragons with the sea, eagles strike the sky, we have nothing to do with others."
Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Let's catch all the foals now, I always feel that this matter is not over, and those wild horses will come to us."
Our camp should be rearranged to look like a camp. ”
"You mean these wild horses will attack the camp?" Meng Yuanzhi jumped three feet high, he didn't expect Tie Xinyuan to give such an answer.
"I saw it today, there are at least more than 10,000 wild horses here, such a large wild horse herd is unheard of according to Hu Laosan, and the wild horse herd of 100 horses on weekdays is already very large, and I also think what Hu Laosan said makes sense.
How much grass will more than 10,000 wild horses eat in a day? If they were allowed to eat it all the time, it would be no different from locusts, and no amount of grass would be enough for them to eat, but Yokoyama still has abundant water and grass every year, and the surrounding pastures do not seem to be affected much.
Every day they would run out of the valley to forage for food in the distance, and the horses must have been very scattered, and if it were the whole Hengshan, they would still be able to support the horses.
Old Meng, I don't know if you have noticed, there seems to be more than one leader in the wild horse herd, this huge wild horse herd is likely to be composed of many small pony herds, if that snow-blue wild horse can unify a hundred and ten horse kings, then, this guy is probably about to become a sperm.
Lao Meng, now that catching horses has become a war, you have to prepare for war! (To be continued.) )
