Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Value of the Beast

The soldiers of Crouching Tiger City are divided into three categories, which were also established in three different periods, each with its own characteristics.

The earliest was the Tiger Army, they were established when there was chaos at that time, so the composition is very complex, composed of demon clans, half-demons, criminals, sideways, martial arts people and all other people who can find combat effectiveness, in short, cannon fodder.

Now, after 300 years of development, the Tiger Ben Army has become a system of its own, and in peacetime it acts as a unit, building a village and tuntian, similar to the military household system, father to son, son to grandson, each unit maintains 3500 soldiers, and rarely cooperates with other departments.

The total strength of the Tiger Ben Army has been maintained at about 30,000 people, and they are usually responsible for patrolling the borders of Crouching Tiger City, hunting and killing brute beasts that occasionally descend the mountain, and are self-sufficient, so they are called soldiers rather than Xiangyong.

Later, with the increase in the number of military generals, Crouching Tiger City was in urgent need of a real army, so it spent huge manpower and material resources to train 100,000 white tiger elite soldiers, which was also the biggest confidence of Crouching Tiger City.

The White Tiger Elite Soldier can be said to be a well-deserved strong army in the entire Jingguo, and it is also the most exclusive, firmly controlled by the Jiangmen family of Crouching Tiger City, even the Tiger Head Taibao can't intervene, and must rely on these Jiangmen disciples to command, but the Tiger Head Taibao doesn't care about these people, because he has three thousand Tiger Head Army, all of which are composed of tiger demons who have been cultivated for hundreds of years, well-equipped, and extremely powerful in combat.

However, the Tiger Head Army will not send troops at all now, and the White Tiger Elite Sword cannot be inserted, and it is difficult to mobilize, so Yan Xu and the place where they are assigned are naturally the Tiger Army, and they are all cannon fodder.

Passing through the neat military camp, a large messy wooden village appeared in front of Yan Xu and them, these villages were surrounded by large areas of farmland, and there were naughty children playing in the fields, compared with the heavily guarded military camp, it felt like innocent villagers surrounded by a large army, which made Yan Xu quite speechless.

Yan Xu turned his head to look at Hu Tiejian, who was already familiar with Hu Tiejian, had to explain.

Although the name of the Tiger Ben Army is very good, it is actually a bunch of homeless miscellaneous army, the subordinates are not clear, it can be said that the grandmother does not love the uncle and uncle, and when they are used, they will be called over, and when they are used up, they will be let go quickly, and even most of the military salaries are solved by themselves, not so much that they are soldiers, but they are mercenaries, but they are just hanging the brand of Crouching Tiger City.

They usually rely on hunting brute beasts, selling the skins and bones of brute beasts for a living, and sometimes they will accept orders to suppress bandits, of course, the harvest is theirs, and even take care of the home and nursing home, escort goods or something, they also do it, sometimes the hand is too tight, masked robbery and black eating black or something is also a common thing.

If you don't take out this kind of thing as cannon fodder at a critical moment, you will be sorry for everyone, but even if they are classified as cannon fodder, it is quite unpleasant.

Yan Xu shook his head, let's take a look first.

After years of summarization, the basic unit of the Tiger Ben Army is composed of three to five hundred people, including soldiers and auxiliaries, such a number is more flexible, whether it is attacking or running fast, the pressure on logistics is also small, when they go out to patrol and hunt, they can solve most of the food problems by relying on Baiman Mountain, and they are not easy to be feared.

In the past, it was not that there were tens of thousands of cattle who dared to argue with the four generals, but now the bones are rotten to slag, and the grave grass does not know how many stubbles have been changed.

After many lessons, these Tiger Benjun people also know what a minefield is, as long as there are no more than a thousand people, you can play as you like, and if you exceed it, you will wait to wear small shoes, and if you don't repent, you will wait to die.

"It smells of blood. After approaching the wooden village, Yan Xu sniffed, turned his head and said to Hu Tiejian.

"This is the brute beast they hunted, and it can be sold for a good price while it is fresh. Hu Tiejian explained to Yan Xu the value of brute beasts, and it happened that there was a caravan transporting the brute beasts he had just bought.

This is a pig-shaped beast the size of a small elephant, I am afraid that it weighs two or three tons, and it is divided into several parts and loaded on several carriages, and the two horses pulling the cart are a little trembling with their hooves, and I don't know if it is because of weight or fear.

This is a common brute beast in Baiman Mountain, a hammer-headed pig, named because its head is like a hammerhead.

Yan Xu took a closer look, and sure enough, the head of this hammerhead pig was huge, occupying one-third of the entire body, and there was no neck at all, and it looked like a hammer used by a blacksmith from the front, which showed how powerful the collision was, I am afraid that even the city wall could knock out a pit.

"The value of the hammerhead pig is not much, except for the skull pig skin is not bad, the value of the tendons and bones is low, only some martial arts halls with little money are willing to go out and buy them to make up for the disciples. Hu Tiejian glanced at it and stopped looking at it, and explained to Yan Xu about the value of brute beasts.

No one knows the origin of brute beasts, but although there are many types of brute beasts, you can find some characteristics of ordinary beasts from their bodies, such as the most common hammerhead pig and sickle wolf, except for the huge size and mutation, you can see at a glance that they are pigs and wolves.

Of course, no one cares how the brute came to be, they only care about the price of the brute.

Because of its huge size, the strength of the brute's muscles and bones is far greater than that of ordinary beasts, and the defensive power of the leather armor made of brute beast skin is still above that of ordinary iron armor, which is comparable to the heavy armor that is carefully crafted with an astonishing weight, which alone brings huge profits to Crouching Tiger City every year.

The ointment made of brute beast muscles and bones has the effect of strengthening the body and nourishing vitality, and has a huge effect on the recovery of traumatic injuries and fractures, so it can be said that with enough plaster made of brute beasts, the speed of martial arts training can be increased by at least three times.

The minions of brute beasts are also good weapons after simple processing, and if they are some powerful brute beasts, their minions are as sharp and strong as ordinary divine weapons.

Even the internal organs of some brute beasts have some peculiar medicinal effects, which warlocks will buy at a high price, and the witch doctors of the barbarians are very interested in this.

As for the most valuable brute meat, it is not high, because of the huge size, the brute meat is too rough and tough, even if it is cooked, ordinary people can't bite it, even if it is swallowed, it is estimated that it is like swallowing a chopped tire, bursting through the belly and dying.

But there are some treasures hidden in these rough muscle fibers, a kind of slender pink meat strips, called Yuan meat, more delicate than the most delicate tenderloin, it is best to describe it as melt-in-the-mouth, the most nourishing vitality, if you eat it from an early age, you can get a body of copper skin and iron bones, thousands of pounds of power, and lay a deep foundation.

Moreover, the more powerful the brute beast, the stronger the hidden effect of the elemental flesh, and the greater the strengthening of the body after eating.

However, it is not so easy to obtain the Yuan Meat, first of all, you can't let the brute beast be too tired, which will reduce the quality and volume of the Yuan Meat, and the second is that you must take it out as soon as possible and use the jade box to chill it, otherwise it will soon turn into blood and water.
