Chapter 9: The Wild Horses and the Young Horses
As Kamu expected, it was only a quarter of an hour, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a group of horses soon appeared in Li Zheng's eyes.
If you look closely, you can see the number of wild horses.
This wild horse herd is just a small herd of horses, no more than a hundred in number. But they are very vigorous and vigorous, and they are much better than the quality of what has been domesticated!
Although the quantity cannot fully meet the needs of the grassland, in terms of quality, it has reached the standard of war horse integration.
Looking at them, Li Zheng smiled.
When the horses had completely entered the valley, at this time, Kamuke and the others were completely ready to capture.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Li Zheng waved his big hand, and Kamuke and the others said hello, so they carried the trees in twos and twos, and went all the way down the hill, bypassing a distance, and heading towards the valley mouth.
How to catch wild horses, this Li Zheng is not good at it. But as long as someone is doing it, it will work.
Li Zheng watched from the sidelines, and handed over everything to Kamuke and others
It took most of the night, everyone was out of breath, and several people were injured, before the group of wild horses was wiped out.
After the capture was successful, Li Zheng let the hunters rest for a while, ate dry food, and after the good life recovered his body, he divided a part of the manpower and immediately sent the captured wild horses back to the pasture for captivity.
The rest rested on the spot, waited for dawn, and moved on to the next mission.
The plan for the initial development of the pasture was based on the war horse, to integrate other animals, and train the first war horse.
Now that the wild horses are there, the other one is locked onto the green horses.
The quality of a war horse is mainly reflected in several aspects such as strength, speed and endurance. In terms of speed, the green is far inferior to the Mustang. But in terms of strength and stamina, it can throw the wild horse out of several streets.
Moreover, Qingyu has tough skin and super defense.
Combining these characteristics, if it can be perfectly integrated with the war horse, then Li Zheng's first batch of war horses, in terms of mount comprehensive elements, can completely crush all the cavalry of this era!
Of course, equipment is another aspect, leaving it alone.
So when he found Qingji, Li Zheng locked it as soon as possible!
The number of young men found by the hunting team was not much, only more than a ten. According to Kamuko, less than half of them are young in the prime of life, and the elderly and young are the majority.
The habitat of this group of young children is not too far from the valley where the wild horses live, but the area where the young birds live is not in the grassland, but in the hilly area.
It was also a beautiful day, and in the morning, the sun popped out again.
After resting for a few hours, at midhour, and waiting until the sun had fully risen, the group packed up and turned south into the hilly area.
It only took more than an hour to reach the destination.
For more than a month, because of Li Zheng's request, the hunting team has spent a lot of effort and completely mastered the life rules of this group of young people.
Most of the time, the youngsters will lie down in their habitat and take a nap. When you're hungry, you'll leave for a while, looking around for something to eat. Like a large creature like a young man, they have no natural predators, and their lives seem to be very lazy.
Of course, the busiest thing in the entire group of young people is actually the largest young man, who is busy patrolling the territory and preventing dangers.
This gave Li Zheng a chance.
The lethality of more than a dozen young men is very huge. The single horn on their heads can easily prick a hole in a person's body, and a person can be broken by stepping on it with a casual kick.
And their skin can effectively defend against swordsmen. If these more than a dozen young men gather together, the dozens of people under Li Zheng are really not enough to see.
The best way to catch this group of young people is to trap. And the timing must also be right, otherwise it will not be easy to succeed.
Li Zheng couldn't get involved in this aspect of the arrangement at all, and completely handed it over to Kamuke to do.
On the day they arrived at the Qing's habitat, the group was far away and did not approach the Qing's habitat. Under the command of Kamuko, a few people were assigned to monitor the movements of the leaders of the youths, and most of the others, while avoiding the leaders of the youths, dug traps on the roads outside the habitat of the youths.
It took three days to dig several huge pits not far from the southern exit of the small valley where the young children lived. It's really not easy.
It is necessary to avoid the leaders of the young people, prevent the young people from discovering the traps in advance, and reduce their vigilance, which makes Kamuke and the others rack their brains.
However, Kamuke and the others are senior hunters after all, and Li Zheng has never seen or heard of many methods to cover up his own aura and reduce the vigilance of his prey.
The professionals are really extraordinary.
Because of their extraordinary means, during these three days, no trace of their whereabouts was exposed at all, and the young children lived in the valley as always, but they did not know that a great disaster was coming!
In order to avoid accidents at the last moment, in case of being injured by the young man who jumped over the wall in a hurry. Kamuke and the others also took out a unique skill, collected several herbs in the mountains, and prepared a medicine that can make animals faint for a short time!
On the night of the third day, the final capture operation officially began.
In Kamuko's words, these young men are very bold because they have no natural enemies. If you go to drive them away in the daytime, not only will they not succeed, but they will anger the young men and make them charge.
Therefore, only at night, on the premise that the young children cannot see the surrounding situation, can they intimidate and expel them, and can they easily do what they cannot do during the day.
At midnight, suddenly, in the northern part of the green habitat, dozens of torches were lit at the same time, forming a semi-encircled shape. Then, a terrifying shout, with the waving of torches, gradually squeezed from north to south, towards the habitat of the young children.
In an instant, the originally quiet mountain forest seemed to be on fire. The frightened cries of the young men spread throughout the mountains, causing the animals in the range to be alarmed.
It is common sense that wild animals are afraid of fire. Especially at night, when you suddenly see the light of a fire, the wild creatures panic. Although Qingyu was bold, he was not exempt from vulgarity, and rushed towards the direction that deviated from the source of the firelight.
But for a moment, only a few plopping sounds were heard, and then the roar of the young man became more and more fierce and urgent.
In the dark night, the panicked young men fled to the south exit, and suddenly several torches appeared on the side, which frightened the young children and yelled again and again, forcing them to go in the direction of the trap.
In the end, none of them escaped the ambush of that row of traps. After the young man in front of his head fell into the trap, he couldn't stop at all in the back, and they all fell in.
"Hahaha"
Li Zheng lit a torch, approached the traps, and couldn't help laughing when he looked at the young men who were still struggling in a pile of traps in front of him.
"Stun these guys, get them all up!"
"Slow down, master!"
Kamuke said: "It's better to let them stay in it for a day and a half, and wait until the body is almost consumed, and then it's not too late to get it out!" ”
Li Zheng thought about it carefully when he heard this, and felt reasonable in his heart, so he nodded in agreement.
Next, the crowd did not rest, but busily began to make fences.
These young men are hot-tempered and dangerous, not as easy to deal with as the wild horses. They must be tamed almost before they can be brought back to the pasture safely, otherwise the physique of the young man will be carried back?
To hold the youngsters, the fence must be strong. On one side of this small valley, on the steepest side, several layers of wooden stakes were laid as a foundation, and then filled with earth and stones.
Fifteen young men, in order to facilitate domestication, had to build fifteen independent fences.
It took two days to complete the simple but sturdy fences.
By this time, the fifteen young men who were trapped in the trap basically had no strength. I haven't eaten or drunk for two days, and I don't know how thick the sky is and I can't scream, even if I am beaten with iron, I am tired.
The herbs that had been prepared long ago smoked all the green children in the trap were dizzy, and everyone worked hard to get all the green children out and put them in the fence separately.
The fence is not high, but it is chest-high. But its sturdiness is not trivial. In addition, Qing'er is bulky and not good at climbing and jumping, so Li Zheng is not worried about letting them run away.
The effect of the herb, while good, does not last long.
But in an instant, the strongest young man came to his senses.
Li Zheng stood on the fence, only to see that the young man shook his head first, seemed to be a little dizzy, and struggled several times before standing up tremblingly.
As soon as he stood up, he saw Li Zheng at a glance.
Suddenly there was anger in the hazy little eyes, and he spread his hooves and crashed into them.
Seeing this, Li Zheng was startled and hurriedly jumped off the fence. Then a boom was heard, and the fence, which was more than a meter thick, was smashed into dust.
But that's probably it, although the weak Qingzi is still powerful, he can't help but fence it. Jumping back on the fence, Li Zheng was amused to find that the sharp corners of the guy were completely trapped in the cracks of the fence, and he couldn't pull them out for a while.
The next three days followed.
Kamuke and others devoted themselves to the domestication of the young man.
A stick and a jujube are useful for people and even more useful for animals. They were not fed, they were not given to drink, and they were whipped by all means to let them know that they were afraid.
Then they will use food and water as a lure to let them know that the only way to survive is to be obedient.
In the past three days, Zhang Shan and Kamuke were busy, but Li Zheng was like an outsider. As the young man gradually succumbed, Li Zheng understood a truth.
Between heaven and earth, all the actions of a qiē creature are actually for survival.
To give in, is to survive.
Obedience is for survival.
The behavior of one qiē and one qiē is all for survival
The oppression of the external environment, the strong against the weak, morality and rules, are all to make living beings submit and obey in order to survive better.
He Li Zheng is the same.
But he is tired of passive survival, what he wants is free, active, and survival of his own choice!
There is no way, only fighting, only fighting, only fighting!
Otherwise, you can only be like the young man in front of you, who seems to be powerful, but you can only give in.
