Chapter 71: Iron Horse and Spear Warrior
In the days of building the Guards Cavalry, Yang Li threw himself in the horse farm all day long, training with everyone.
It stands to reason that the current relationship with Yulia has nothing to do with eating her. The girl has lived for a long time in the wilderness era, and her diet and daily life are super healthy, and she has not become fat these days, plus her original white and transparent skin has been tanned, but it is closer to the oriental aesthetics.
Yang Jiao didn't want to eat her, but immediately after crossing the river basin, he immediately devoted himself to the great cause of cavalry training, and the original plan was to go directly to it, but he didn't expect that horseback riding and big spear training were really not human work.
At the end of the day, my back hurts, and the next day I get up and I don't feel strong, so I roll off the bed, where is the strength to do bad things.
Yang Jiao's martial arts value originally belonged to the category of normal modern people, and he was not on the same level as the top warriors of the wilderness.
It was late autumn, and the Guards cavalry, who had just achieved some training results, would be sent by Yang Li to the dry riverbed where he had encountered the giant hyena.
As the old saying goes, when you receive a bucket of water, you can return a bucket of water, and this group of evil obstacles forced everyone to jump into the river, and this period of time also destroyed the ecological balance in the vicinity, resulting in a large-scale reduction in the number of bison and deer, which brought a lot of trouble to the hunting team.
At three o'clock that day, Yang Jiao rolled off the bed, and Yulia was already quietly downstairs preparing lunch.
The girl saw the sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs, and laughed: "The big leader ordered yesterday to let the guards warm up in the morning, in fact, you are making an excuse for yourself to sleep lazy." β
As he spoke, he shoved a white boiled egg with the shell peeled off into his mouth.
Yang Li hurriedly defended: "How is it possible, I thought hard in my dream, and finally thought of a good way to hunt giant hyenas." β
"Oh? Let's talk about it. β
"Fight poison with poison," Yang Li said that we have a little daughter-in-law who can tame beasts, just for her to use, well, it should be here now, and waved out of the door, "Come in!" β
Jiang Rongrong no longer had the unyielding posture she had at the beginning, and after coming in, she saluted Yulia first: "Hello sister." β
Mao Mei smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a slit, and patted Jiang Rong's head with her hand: "Sister is okay." β
Then Jiang Rong came to Yang Jiao and also saluted: "Hello uncle." β
Yang Jiao was drinking water from a wooden cup, and it squirted out in an instant, is there any seniority, shouldn't he be called brother-in-law, but seeing Yulia's look of watching a good show, he said that the image of the big leader should be maintained, so he sat down and replied: "Rong Rong is good, have you eaten lunch, if you haven't eaten, just sit down and eat together." β
Jiang Rong hurriedly said that she had eaten, and Yang Li said that it didn't matter, eat again, excuse yourself twice, and get down to business.
Yang Li's tactics are relatively simple, that is, to catch cannon fodder, isn't the swamp to empty the stagnant water to make farmland, the giant python of the king of the swamp is killed, and the remaining group of snakes and snakes are leaderless, scurrying around, it is also a scourge, it is better to catch the strong man directly, and go to fight the giant hyena as cannon fodder.
In the afternoon, everyone was full of wine and food, and the elite was exhausted.
The expedition consisted of three parts.
First of all, more than 20 big pythons that Jiang Rong got will go up to take the lead and attract firepower.
The second is the more than 50 hunters recruited by Yang Li, most of them are old hunters, as well as slave owners and some free men, who do not pay wages, but get the hyena meat and fur they get from hunting at the time to offset the payment, they are all equipped with spears, javelins and bows and arrows, forming the backbone of the hunting team.
Finally, there is the newly trained cavalry, led by Xue Pijiang, they have just learned to ride a horse, and the big gun is not hit by ten pokes and seven times, and the combat effectiveness is worrying, but according to Yang Jiao, our horse breed is really against the sky, and when the time comes, it will be close to one direction, and try to maintain a dense formation.
The army marched to the dry riverbed, the group of giant hyenas was still in place, there were no natural predators in the area of the Luo River, and at the same time, the water and grass were abundant, the herbivore community was dense, and they could also catch lone humans as rations, and the giant hyena population seemed to be more prosperous.
The predators at the top of the food chain, similar to the Siberian tiger, have their own large territories, because only large enough land can support the lower lower predators and more herbivores to ensure the tiger's hunting needs.
But when it comes to the giant hyena, this rule is somewhat broken, this thing is in groups, and each one has the same combat effectiveness as the Siberian tiger, so wherever it goes, the herbivores will be slaughtered, causing ecological damage, so it is only natural that it will eventually become extinct.
Human beings are the same thing, from Africa to the Americas, everywhere they go, extinct countless populations, modern people always think that this phenomenon is caused by industrialization, but in fact it is not.
From the Stone Age, humans learned to use tools and fire, and from then on it became an earth bug, and mass extinctions began to be carried out on a large scale from that time.
Therefore, as soon as the human population came up, it had to be extremely dependent on agriculture, otherwise those wild beasts alone would not have enough to eat.
In a word, a normal biological chain can't accommodate too many apex predators.
Yang Jiao wants to eliminate harm for the people and eliminate competitors for mankind.
The giant snake driven by Jiang Rong lurked near the hyena group, and suddenly attacked, the giant hyenas were attacked by the snake group for the first time, and they were a little panicked, but under the leadership of the female hyena leader, they began to fight against the giant python.
If the king of the swamp is still there, it may not be able to fight with the hyena leader for three days and three nights, but it has become a barbecue on the table and cannot come to help, and the remaining pythons' single combat effectiveness is generally inferior to that of the giant hyena, and it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated.
However, Yang Li is buying this time for everyone.
If they line up like a human war, the hyena pack will definitely find out from afar and organize an attack, then it is inevitable that there will be casualties on their own side.
But if the other party is in a state of disarray, and the other side is a human hunting array, the situation will be completely different, like the spear of the forest and the javelin like raindrops, which can bury any conventional species on this planet into the long river of history.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Yang Jiao took the lead in getting up, "Xue Bijiang, you go back to the other end of the river, look at my face and act, and the rest of the soldiers, the first team follows Huya, and the second team follows me, keep in formation!" β
If you look at the hunting grounds from the sky, it will be such a sight.
In the middle of the riverbed of the dry river are more than twenty giant hyenas, which are exterminating a similar number of giant pythons.
At the bottom of the riverbed on the south side of the river, in the original upstream direction, Huya led more than 30 people to run wildly, quickly approaching the rear formation with spears in hand, and just waiting for an order to throw them all.
On the bank on the west side of the river, Yang Jiao and twenty people were holding hunting bows and arrows.
Finally, in the direction of the dry riverbed on the north side of the river, Xue Pijiang's more than twenty cavalry were ready.
"Shoot." As Yang Li's raised arm fell, arrows rained down on the riverbank, accompanied by whistling sounds, feathered arrows and javelins cut through the air, and launched indiscriminate strikes against the giant hyenas and pythons below.
For a while, the screams and beast roars came and went, the scene was even more chaotic, after two rounds of javelins, Huya led the hunters to charge, the formation was dense, in order to ensure that it would not be forcibly broken through from the front, in Jiang Rong's whistle, the surviving python quickly fled and returned to nature,
The leader of the giant hyena found that it seemed to be full of enemies from top to bottom, left and right, even if it was fierce and fierce, cruel and cunning, it could not help but think about the current situation, the humans on the shore could not reach it, but the humans in the river could fight.
But when it led the hyena pack to rush once, it realized how powerful these humans were.
Unlike all the humans they've seen before, they're always gathered together, and they can't reach the emptiness on the side or back by twisting and turningβthe river is just that wide, and the banks are on either side.
In a single blow, three giant hyenas died, each of them facing four or five bronze spears at the same time.
The technological development of human beings is far beyond the limits of the speed of the development of wild animals' physical bodies, they must be afraid, they must flee.
From the beginning of controlling the flames, the future master of this planet is already doomed.
Flame - pottery - bronze, this technology tree with a causal relationship has been pointed all the way, and the future opponent of mankind is only human beings themselves.
"Hah!" The bronze sword like a tiger tooth door panel was wielded, and in a way that the flesh was hard to shake, it actually cut a male hyena from head to waist, diagonally cut it in half.
The giant was covered in blood, as if the gods of the Flood Myth had come to the world, tore off the broken leather armor covered with claw marks on his body, and killed the leader of the giant hyenas shirtless.
The morale of the herd finally collapsed, and they realized that they could not win this time.
Not only is it impossible to win the war, but if the war continues, the entire ethnic group will suffer heavy casualties.
Yang Jiao led the archers to the north of the river bank for some distance, ensuring that the archers' arrows could be shot from the back of the herd as much as possible.
"See the biggest one, shoot it, shoot it!" Yang Jiao pointed to the leader of the hyenas who had fled.
Hyenas are matriarchal societies, and female hyenas are stronger in size and strength than males, and the leader of the group is naturally a female hyena.
After two rounds of bows and arrows, the leader of the hyenas was full of arrows, like a hedgehog, but this beast was fierce enough, and its vitality was so strong that it ran wildly with the arrows, and its speed did not decrease at all.
After a burst of slaughter, more than twenty giant hyenas were broken in half, and only ten remained.
Yang Li set his eyes on the river to the north, where smoke and dust were rising.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves came like thunder, and a row of jagged spears appeared around the corner of the river, a group of proud cavalry.
Perhaps this is the first time in human history that cavalry is used in battle, and if Yang Jiao does not want to lay out and command, I am afraid he would be more willing to join the cavalry team.
However, there is still a long way to go, and there will be opportunities in the future.
As the first general, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the nose and mouth are square, the tiger skin on the body is big, and the crotch is a male mountain horse, and the ash pole and big gun in his hand are shaken, and he is just about to shout to get the name out.
The giant hyena didn't know what was on the other side, but he fought to the death, and he wanted to rush.
With Xue Pijiang's order, the cavalry put the speed of the war horse to the maximum, their riding skills were still very rough, and they couldn't maintain the array while marching, but the will to fight reached its peak, before that, they had never thought of fighting at such a galloping speed.
At this speed, the power of the big gun is unstoppable.
Even if the whole body is fully armored, it is still a one-shot fly.
The giant hyenas and the cavalry, both flesh and blood, made a terrible ramming in the river.
The beast roared and the horse neighed, and as soon as the tip of the spear touched the hyena's body, it stabbed the hyena through without hindrance at a relative speed of nearly eighty yards.
In the same way, the cavalry that did not stab, with a bloody and courageous force that came out of the river bay, directly rode their horses and collided with the hyenas, making a huge roar.
Yang Jiao saw it in his eyes, the pain was in his heart, and he didn't let you fight so hard, if you fell off the horse and broke a bone or something, the recovery was slow, and it was not impossible to break your neck directly.
Fortunately, the number and combat effectiveness of the giant hyenas have been weakened, and there is a Xue Pijiang on the cavalry team.
A little cold came first, and then the gun came out like a dragon.
The young man shook his gun and directly killed the leader of the giant hyena.
At this moment, the beasts lost even the last room for resistance, and were trapped by spears and slaughtered.
At the end of the battle, Yang Jiao took down the invasive species southeast of Los Angeles at the cost of killing three recruits, seriously injuring five people, and lightly injuring nine people.
The boys of the Guards cavalry were lucky, half of them fell off their horses, and the one with a broken arm was considered a serious injury and had to be recuperated for several months, while the rest were bruises and bumps, and they were able to recover quickly.
The terrifying power of the cavalry was initially demonstrated in this battle, and more than a dozen giant hyenas, with a single charge of iron cavalry, completely disintegrated them, both in terms of lethality and killing efficiency, far exceeding the archers and heavy infantry of the past.
This is the type of arms that has dominated almost the entire history of human warfare, and it was not until the advent of machine guns that this kind of war machine could be eliminated from the stage of history, and their existence is almost a symbol of the highest combat effectiveness of cold weapons.
