Los Angeles originally had a population of more than 130 people, and after the conquest of the Baishi tribe, the annexation of the gray wood tribe, and the capture of the northern allied forces, the permanent population has reached more than 1,500 people. Counting the other tribal caravans that traveled up and down the Luo River, as well as the homeless people sheltered in the wilderness, the actual population is now more than 1,600 people.

Mobilizing most of these young men to hunt wild horses is almost a sure thing.

According to the men sent back by Hayabusa, they had been driving the herd of wild horses for two days and two nights, trying to drive them into a valley.

Yang Li actually does not have great expectations for the domestication of wild horses, because the breeding and optimization of horse breeds is not an overnight thing, wild horses are generally short, compared with the horses that have been domesticated in later generations, they have straight necks, short legs, and insufficient explosiveness.

And not all horses can be domesticated, at least in modern times, African zebras are extremely difficult to domesticate, and there are no cases of large-scale conversion to humans.

You know, it's not easy for ungulates to survive to modern times.

Most people tend to think of horses, cows and sheep as similar animals, but in fact, from a biological point of view, the relationship between horses and cattle is almost distantly greater than the relationship between elephants and mice.

Since the end of the Ice Age, ungulates have not evolved ruminant functions, and their digestion and utilization rate of forage plants is not as good as that of artiodactyls such as pigs, cattle and camels, and they have been slowly dying out.

If it weren't for the exploitation of horses as a creature by humans, I am afraid that their populations would not have been as prosperous as they are today.

In the 21st century, there are only three species of ungulate that are the only remaining fruits on earth.

They are rhinoceros, tapirs, and horses.

In other words, there are only two kinds of relatives left in Mako, although they don't look like each other at all.

Yang Jiao's era is the era of the extinction of creatures in the Ice Age, and it can be seen from the status of the saber-toothed tiger, so what kind of horse can be found this time, how small the size is, and how difficult the temperament is, Yang Da Leader has actually prepared for the worst in his heart.

It may take years or even decades to breed broken horses like donkeys from generation to generation, and finally raise Ili horses or Andalusian horses.

In ancient times, the Huns used cavalry as their main tactic, rather than using heavy cavalry charges, and one of the important reasons was that the war horses at that time were smaller, although they had more than endurance, but they lacked explosive power, and lacked impact on the infantry in clusters.

Therefore, Yang Li decided to go step by step, first forming projection cavalry, and then developing towards heavy cavalry.

But things often come unexpectedly.

Xuanyuan Guang panted and ran to the gate of the castle, saying that he wanted to see the big leader, Yang Li hurriedly got off the fortress, he knew that this person was involved in the operation of Falcon Wing, and when he came back at this time, he must have something important to say.

Xuanyuan Guang looked very anxious, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his dark face flashed with an anxious look: "Great Chief, Lord Lieshan Hayabusa Wing asks for support!" ”

Yang Jiao glared, I heard you right, right?

In addition to Huya and Mao Mei, the other hero units were all sent in this operation, what happened to make so many hunters helpless?

Yang Li took out a clay pot, filled it with water and handed it to Xuanyuan Guang: "You come slowly, I'll listen." ”

"The wild horses are divided into two groups, Xue Ge'er led people to run away with one group, and the other group formed a group to resist desperately, the big leader, you ordered to catch them alive, we are afraid of forcibly catching them, hurting the horses, I don't know what to do."

Well, a herd of wild horses is so powerful?

Although Yang Li was very confused, Falcon Wing was cautious and the father of the river, and he sent Xuanyuan Guang over, which means that he did encounter a problem.

Yang Li decided to personally bring the Guards, that is, the group of young bronze swordsmen, to support.

Mao Mei protested desperately, saying that she was the leader of this army.

Yang Li said that you and Huya are guarding the house, and I will come when I go, and then asked more than 20 teenagers, "Who is your commander?" ”

"It's Sister Yulia." Let's answer them together.

"And who am I?"

"You are the leader of Yang Da, the commander-in-chief of Los Angeles!" Here are the answers in unison.

Yang Jiao smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief wants to take you to catch horses, do you want to go?" ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, take the guys, and let's go."

Yang Jiao abducted the teenagers in front of Mao Mei.

It is not surprising that this kind of thing happened, if Yulia is an instructor of physical fitness and combat skills, then Yang Li is the political commissar, and when he usually teaches Xue Bijiang and Xiao Zhen Mi, most of these teenagers are involved in it, and they are deeply attracted by Yang Li's theory of "building socialism" and the dream of "the unification of the world".

Again, this army is an army with ideals and beliefs, they know what they are fighting for, so they know whose steps they should follow, and this pace can unswervingly run to the final bright shore.

At that time, the Red Army was broken and crippled, and the base area was ended, but it was still able to march 25,000 miles, cross the Chishui River four times, fly to capture the Luding Bridge, climb the snow-capped mountains and cross the grassland, and thousands of revolutionary aspirants fell on the road, and finally arrived in the northwest to rebuild the red regime.

Yulia could only wave goodbye to someone Yang, and secretly bit him on the arm.

Yang Li came to the shore, hired three canoes from the Yong clan, came to the north shore, and everyone gathered around to eat some dry food and bacon, and then went to the hunting ground.

Xuanyuan Guang led the way diligently, and Yang Li finally became a little curious about this person.

The Xuanyuan clan should not be very far from Los Angeles, and in general, it should not be beyond the distance of a province - but geographically, when it is in the southeast, it is far away from the Baishi tribe in the south where he was captured before, so how did this guy run to another settlement and live happily?

When Yang Li asked, Xuanyuan Guang's eyes flickered, and he just said that he had lived in the Baishi tribe since he was a child, and he didn't know what the Xuanyuan clan was, let alone what the Xiong clan was, and what Xuanyuan Hill was.

Well, Yang Jiao didn't dig deeper, he hurried for a long time, he joined up with Falcon Wing, and His Excellency the lord blocked both ends of a valley, which was equivalent to plugging the bottle stopper, saying that there were fifty or sixty wild horses in the valley, and he didn't know how to start.

Yang Jiao pursed his lips, what a waste, you hundreds of people, you can't handle it.

We're not more than a hundred pigs, a hundred pigs can repel a million Jews, we're human.

Yang Li climbed the cliff on the side of the valley at the moment, looked down, and even thought of the lines.

At that time, a cannon rang out, and a group of men and horses in the valley came out, headed by a general, with a face like a heavy jujube, three strands of long hair, wearing a green hat and a green robe, only holding the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, but saying that Meng De was unharmed.

So you wild horses, can't you judge the situation and catch it?

But Yang Li looked into the canyon and was suddenly a little puzzled...... This mustang is not the same as what I saw in my notebook.

There is a lot of information in the mutation notebook, and when humans domesticated wild horses, Yang Li naturally knew what those little short legs looked like.

But these horses are strangely shaped.

With wide shoulders and long legs, and a strange facial bone, if it weren't for the peculiar hind hooves, Yang Li would almost think that he had seen a high-headed horse in the future.

This odd ungulate, it must be a horse, although the front hooves evolved into a single toe like modern horses, but the hind hooves still retain a distinct bifurcation.

This equine creature is about 1.7 meters tall, with a long face and a broad forehead, a solid back, slender limbs, and plenty of tendons, not only in terms of body structure is different from modern horses, but also has light brown stripes distributed on their bodies.

I see.

Yang Li found that his habitual thinking was troubled again.

In hundreds of years, thousands of species on the earth have become extinct, and from ancient times down, there are probably tens of thousands of extinct species, and the population of ungulates is already shrinking.

It's completely normal.

The elephants and birds in the flat-chested general order can't wait to become extinct, and the only remaining fruits in Oceania are emus and cranes.

This prehistoric high-headed horse has a fierce temperament, and the falcon wing wants to capture it alive, and has already injured several heroes.

Several hunters stepped forward to throw the meteor hammer, but after hitting a few horses, the other wild horses rushed forward in unison, biting and kicking their hooves, and dispersed the hunter, and the hunter could not use a spear, and for a time he was really at a loss.

But Yang Li couldn't hold back his excitement in his heart, if these horses were tamed, we wouldn't need to breed and breed at all, according to the current tall size, as long as they are willing to cooperate with humans obediently, it is the best heavy cavalry mount.

At that time, Yang Li used the stupidest method, what was he doing?

Dig trenches and build low walls!

Aren't you allowed to get closer, let's just start the ground from both ends of the canyon, according to the way of fortress tactics, by digging ditches, little by little to press your activity space, wait until the trenches are close enough distance, and then directly build a wall.

The momentum of the wild horses rushing up was very fierce, and many people in the team of Keluo City participated in the construction of the wooden fort and the city wall, and some had construction experience.

In the whole world, only the Hewan clan can complete similar projects so efficiently and skillfully.

At noon the next day, the old god Yang Jiao was there, holding juice in his left hand and a venison shop in his right hand, and commanded while eating and drinking: "Falcon Wing, there is a dirt slope at the foot of the mountain in the west, you first lead people to occupy it and build a simple guard tower, if the horses break through, we can observe their movements in advance on it." ”

The wild horses were very helpless, and every time they rushed, those hateful humans either shrank behind the wooden wall, or hid in the trench, and the trench could indeed jump over, but the problem was that there were many people standing on the other side, and when you jumped over, they would rush up and take you down.

As the last stake was hammered down, more than fifty prehistoric wild horses were finally trapped by the fence-like wall, and their space for movement was extremely limited, and they could only gouge their hooves and neigh uneasily in less than half an acre of land, but the general trend was gone.

Yang Jiao kept letting the hunter stand on the wooden wall and use the lassoscope pole to catch the horses inside, while humming the man who was still humming the lasso, you are mighty and majestic, busy all afternoon, completely catching the wild horses.

Xue Pijiang came back from another way, and only he relied on his high agility to catch a wild horse of the same breed, and the others were empty-handed.

But that's the end of the story.

More than 20 guards, with more than 50 horses, were enough for Yang Li to form a small cavalry team.

Back in Los Angeles, Xue Pijiang's land was instantly confiscated and used as a horse farm, but he was very happy, because the dream of the big leader who had depicted him for a long time was about to come true.

Yang Li said that I will retreat for two days first, you will first communicate with these large creatures, and after two days, I will study the tactics of the big cavalry with you!

It must take two days.

Because the notebook is charged, it can be used to visit Mao Mei and Yang Jiao.
