This year's herd arrived two days later than last year. Others don't know, but Lin Ji, the person who records the days on the calendar, is clear.

However, there are too many factors that affect the migration of the herd, and Lin Ji did not think much about it.

The herd entered the hunting passage and came all the way south. The guards on the line had already retreated to the line and gave up the reserved portal.

The herd quickly passed through the portal in the defensive line and hurried forward in horror and caution. They are followed by fearless long-haired bison, proud bighorn deer, lazy saber-toothed tigers or lions, regurgitant antelopes, and brutal woolly rhinos.

Some of the animals habitually stopped before they reached the line of defense, only to find that there was no nasty blood and fire in front of them, and they could not see a single leaf of withered grass between their heads, and then they quickly followed the herd south.

After a long day's journey, the first disturbance they encountered on the passage came from the small village where the new barbarian guards were.

After the two-legged monsters in animal skins screamed and drove them from the side of the road to the clearing, more two-legged monsters surrounded them, and large nets fell from the sky, and the thick ropes suddenly tightened from the ground, and more two-legged monsters wielded golden sharp weapons to cut the legs of the mammoth like pillars.

Many mammoths were netted, covered, and had their legs cut off. But it also infuriates them. The male elephant in the herd became angry, broke the net, tore the thick rope, smashed the two-legged monster that surrounded it, and fled south with the herd.

The ones that fell to the ground, then there was no way.

The new barbarian guard didn't chase the elephant herd, and looked at the mammoth that fell to the ground with a smile: "It's ten, everyone work hard!" ”

When the first herd arrived, it was put into ten, which is not a bad result. There's still half a month to go. What is it to bring down hundreds of elephants?

The herd scrambled south along the passage, only to find that an annoyed two-legged monster had appeared in front of them.

Furious, the head roared, and rushed forward in rage, trying to knock down all the monsters that stood in its way.

"If you're crazy, let it go." The two-legged monsters let out strange screams. As a result, the two-legged monsters gave way to some stakes without branches, leaves, or roots, and watched as a large herd of elephants ran through a passage that was not too wide.

When the elephant had almost run out of the passage, he couldn't believe it and looked back. Well, along the way, it seems to smell a unique food fragrance. What kind of food is that? It's a rare thing to see this season.

Without waiting for the elephant to think about it, an annoying two-legged monster appeared in front of him again, and a white saber-toothed tiger even appeared in these two-legged monsters.

"Tiger!" The two-legged monster yelled.

"Brute!" The other two-legged monster shouted. The fight soon reached the herd. The elephant also fell at this time.

……

In the evening of this day, Hu Aman, who was outside the south gate, asked someone to tell Lin Ji that dozens of mammoths had been hunted there, and asked him to send someone out to help deal with the fur and meat.

Xu Yu in the north also sent someone to tell Lin Ji that they had captured more than 20 mammoths alive, and asked Lin Ji how many they had caught.

"We're making slow progress, and we haven't caught any of them yet." Lin Ji replied honestly.

The people who came didn't believe it, and looked at old acquaintances such as Broken Teeth. Folding his teeth and waiting for a lazy yawn: "Today, I watched the beasts running around." I really didn't do it. ”

The person who came saw that everyone on Ji Lin's side was clean, and it really didn't look like they had been killed, so they silently believed it.

"How did you catch it so fast?" Lin Ji was really a little surprised, Xu Yu could catch so many alive. If it goes on like this, it will really export the ghost eagle. When the time comes, Eagle and Tiger Yi'er may have to find him desperately.

"I can't say that." The person who came was a thoughtful person, and he was worried about stealing the teacher.

Lin Ji rolled his eyes and asked, "Then where are all the people you captured alive?" ”

"We don't have to." The people who came were still proud.

Hearing this, Xu Yu panicked with his teeth: "Then you go back and tell Xu Yu that this method is best used in the last few days." The long hairs of the province stink in the field. ”

The visitor had no idea what he meant by Broken Teeth. That night, he returned to the small village with a torch, and only when he saw Xu Yu with a black face did he understand the meaning of folding his teeth.

Of the two dozen elephants that were laid down during the day, five died.

It's cold now, but there's still sun during the day. These elephants will still stink after three or two days in the sun.

When Xu Yu heard the words of the broken teeth, he hated and said: "Then listen to them, we will deal with these elephants first in the next few days, and then catch them alive a few days later." ”

In Xu Yu's opinion, Broken Teeth can see at a glance the plans of his side, and it is obvious that Ji Lin is also using the same method. Then there's no need to rush. Now the mammoth that has fallen down on his side can't last a few days, and how many days can Ji Lin's side last? Then wait until the last few days to do it.

……

Lin Ji sent off the newcomer from the barbarian guard, and Broken Teeth suggested: "If Xu Yu's fools cut the elephant's legs like this every day, we may not have a good chance here." Why don't we put the fence down today and start tonight? They shouldn't go out at night. ”

This suggestion is a little exciting. At night, the herd moves slowly, and if it is properly guided and driven away, it may cause less resistance.

However, Lin Ji hesitated: "I've been waiting for a day today, we can stand it, but those children can't stand it." Why don't you wait until tomorrow? ”

Folded teeth said: "Those children can follow in the first half of the night, and we will come to see in the second half of the night." ”

"So, you're trying to skip class?" Lin Ji broke his teeth with a word.

Now everyone has a meeting in the evening, and it is quite timely. However, Lin Ji didn't have the patience to teach slowly, and he used cramming to teach. Lin Ji hopes that within a year, everyone will have the skills of college students who know how to write official documents. This makes everyone's study very stressful. It's normal for people like Broken Teeth to occasionally find an opportunity to be lazy.

Seeing this, Fa Arc continued to fall into the well and said: "Hunting is our business, and you will have to keep an eye on Jiancheng tomorrow." If you go, we will go, and you don't want to put off the construction of the city tomorrow. ”

"Day you!" Breaking the teeth and thinking about it two points in a row, I can't wait to find someone to fight.

But having said that, Lin Ji saw that the moon and stars were sparse this night, and there was no north wind, so after resting for a while, he organized the people and launched the arrangement overnight to capture the beasts.

The mammoths are not caught in the forest with nets and ropes, but by guiding and luring them.

The passage of the beasts outside the west gate was nailed into a tunnel by wooden stakes on both sides. There is only a fork in the road at the west gate.

When a suitable herd is seen, the forest will cause people to move the fence blocking the fork in the road to the passage and block the passage. And on the fork to the west gate, there are a few corn stalk seedlings.

The herds that came all the way from the north side of the passage and had no food to eat saw these corn stalk seedlings, and they were naturally attracted to the west gate. If there are some domesticated baby elephants leading the way, it will surely dispel the vigilance of many elephant herds. When the herd enters the passage into the city, it only needs to be driven away for a while. They will enter the huge enclosure in the southwest corner of the city.

At this point, closing the pen to prevent these mammoths from going berserk and breaking the pen is basically the same as capturing them.

In the later stage, there are a large number of corn stalk seedlings to feed them, and then the wilder individuals in the herd are removed, and then tamed for a winter, and in the spring they should be able to shave and take to the forest to be kept in captivity, or tamed for use.

Lin Ji's previous idea was to let Xiaobai take action and raise some adult mammoths in captivity on a small scale. Later, he stumbled upon an old magazine in a small town, which mentioned that in the early years, some people in Southeast Asia had captured adult Asian elephants and tamed them for sale, which made him more emboldened. How many adult Asian elephants can be tamed, so adult mammoths should also be tamed?

Now that all industries are flourishing, animal power is needed everywhere, and the forest traces are gradually not rejecting violence to tame these behemoths. He thought that maybe by taming these big furry creatures, he would be able to keep these mammoths from extinction.

I knew about Lin Ji's arrest plan. Folding Teeth naturally regarded Xu Yu's capture of cutting off the elephant's legs as an idiotic act.

But he didn't want to think about it, except for the forest traces, who had ever thought of it? And how hard would it be to build a big enclosure out of wood or something else without two walls?

Despite the fact that the two walls flanked the enclosure, the most difficult part of the plan was to prevent the mammoths from storming the enclosure.

With the little elephant soldiers leading, everyone used torches to drive them away, and the capture of the night was quite smooth. In less than midnight, the crowd led several herds into the big enclosure.

There were a lot of corn stalks piled up in the corral, and there was also living water in them. After letting the little elephant soldiers come out of it, they lit a fire outside the animal pen, and the herd was naturally squeezed under the city wall, and spent the night in relative peace.

At dawn, Lin Ji had just gotten up, and the hair arc guarding outside the beast pen sent someone to report: "Something bad is wrong, Qizi go to the beast pen and take a look." ”

Lin Ji didn't even have time to wash his face, so he took a rifle and hung it on his shoulder and ran over there.

When I approached the fenced enclosure, I heard the roar of the beast inside, and there seemed to be thousands of troops and horses galloping and fighting in the hundreds of acres of animal pens.

When I got closer, I saw a picture of a hundred beasts galloping.

Hundreds of mammoths in the pens rushed from time to time, rushing to the fence from time to time. This amount is much larger than the forest trace estimate.

The number of these beasts that were brought in overnight last night has not yet been counted because it is dark. Now it seems that there are quite a lot.

But that's not the point, the point is that in addition to most of the mammoths, there is also a small herd of long-haired bison and a few saber-toothed tigers.

I don't know if the saber-toothed tigers had jumped in from outside the walls in the morning, or if they had been caught in the middle of the herd last night, and were now scurrying around the mammoths and bison herds in the morning exercise.

Lin Ji saw that the sweat had come down. If these things had been caught in the herd last night, the little elephant soldiers didn't know how dangerous it was. If they had climbed in from outside the walls, the walls would have been nothing to them, and they would have been heartwarming enough. And if they continue to chase after them, sooner or later the herd will break through the fence made of wood on the other two sides and rush into the city.

If these hundreds of crazy mammoths were allowed to rush into the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Ji hurriedly ordered: "Move the drums, knock them around the fences on both sides, and drive them to the bottom of the city wall." ”

After saying this, Lin Ji went up to the six-meter-high city wall to the west, and Hu Yi'er and the others hurriedly followed with bows.

As long as the herd was close to the city walls, Lin Ji could shoot the troublesome saber-toothed tigers. If these saber-toothed tigers had climbed the wall, they might have jumped over the wall and run away in the fright of the drums. If it is the latter, the forest site will have to renovate the city wall.

As soon as the drums sounded, the herd immediately stopped galloping and moved quickly towards the corner of the wall, huddled together almost regardless of race. Only a few saber-toothed tigers were a little further away from the herd.

Lin Ji set up a gun on the city wall and opened fire, popping the head of a saber-toothed tiger.

At this time, Lin Ji's body has basically grown, although it is not tall, but it is quite strong, and he often practices shooting in small towns, and he is somewhat accurate within 180 meters. It's not uncommon for this shot to be on target.

Beside him, the tiger Yi'er with a bow shot down with an arrow and also shot a saber-toothed tiger. It's just that this side is a little farther away, but the saber-toothed tiger didn't fall down.

The saber-toothed tiger was killed and injured in the blink of an eye, and was immediately frightened, and hurriedly ran into the herd.

The muzzle of the forest trail moved, but it was difficult to find the firing angle in the herd.

Lin Ji held a gun and walked along the city wall in search of a firing angle. Outside the corral, a gate was opened, and the wolf, riding on the back of his baby elephant, rushed into the corral first. Behind him were the auxiliaries of the fifty elephant soldiers led by Zhong Dolphin, followed by more than twenty older elephant riding elephant soldiers, and finally a team of Ji Lin's warriors led by the arc. When Lin Ji looked at it from a distance, he saw that people who had nothing to do with hunting, such as Broken Teeth and Yuanxiao, were all in the team.

Lin Ji really didn't have any temper at all for these people who were going to fight when he found an opportunity, so he simply put the gun on his back and let them go.

Fortunately, these people are quite reliable, except for these people who enter the fence, everyone else is listed outside the fence, ready to answer at any time.

The men entered the enclosure, causing the beast inside to tumble even more like boiling water.

But the effect is not bad. Several saber-toothed tigers were quickly cornered and killed. Those of the mammoths who dared to resist were also killed without hesitation. The long-haired bison was driven out to a small pen on the side.

After the black jackal and a few others killed the saber-toothed tiger, they also waved happily at the forest trail on the city wall.

The 50 auxiliaries brought by the dolphin were the main force that went out to hunt and kill mammoths last year, and they were also very good at dealing with the killed mammoths. In just over two hours, the slain mammoth was cleared out of the fence, leaving little blood behind.

The frightened elephants in the pens shrank under the walls and shivered, but they didn't know when there was a lump of white stuff on top of their heads, munching on sweet potatoes and dropping them as they ate.

Some of the baby elephants looked up, and the strange thing on it also stopped, and then dropped a piece of sweet potato.
