The weather is getting colder, the leaves are turning yellow, and winter is coming
At this time, most tribes will quickly organize the young men to go hunting and try to store as much food as possible for the winter. Sometimes, the young men of the tribe will be out for several days, and even casualties may occur.
At this moment, not a single young man from the Black Stone Tribe is out hunting, including middle-aged men and women who are no longer young but still have strength. They are all practicing hard outside the main gate of Salt Stone City.
They don't need to worry about food at all, because the Ministry of Salt has prepared all the food for them for the winter. The only thing they have to do is to keep practicing and practice hard!
The effect of this hard training was naturally quite good. In less than two months, they were practicing well.
On this day, Zhao Hao suddenly called Cangwu to the city wall, seemingly wanting Cangwu to come and see the results of the training.
Cangwu has now become accustomed to being the hands-off shopkeeper. Every day, he takes care of the old, weak, women and children in the clan, helping them carry beams, install tiles, etc., and he is very comfortable all day long.
It had been a long time since he had seen the elite training in the clan, because it seemed like just a few movements would make anyone tired of it, not to mention that he had a fiery temper and no patience.
Of course, Zhao Hao asked him to come over and take a look, so he still had to take a look. After all, he relied on this heavenly general to resist Xue Man's tribe.
To be honest, although Zhao Hao's training for the strongest members of the clan seems simple and boring, the effect is surprisingly good. At this moment, the elite soldiers of his Black Stone Tribe are even as good as those of the soldiers of the Xue Man Tribe.
Already.
He looked at it for a while and couldn't help but sigh: "General Tian, you are still more powerful. Now, I am afraid that the strongest soldiers in my clan are no worse than the soldiers of Xue Man's tribe, right?"
Zhao Hao looked at the Blackstone Fifth Battalion who were training, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, if the number of people is about the same at this time, they will definitely win against the soldiers of Xue Man's tribe."
Do we need almost the same number of people to win?
There are more than a thousand soldiers in Xue Man's tribe, and there are more than 2,000 soldiers in the west wing of Xue Man's tribe alone.
Cangwu said worriedly: "Then when will they be able to defeat the two thousand soldiers on the west wing of Xue Man's tribe?"
Zhao Hao estimated: "If you keep practicing, it should be almost done after this winter."
Hearing this, Cang Wu subconsciously asked, "Can we still practice in winter?"
Zhao Hao nodded and said: "Of course you can. Although you can't practice all day long, you can still practice during the noon period. Don't worry, they are all wearing waistcoats, so they won't freeze after practicing for a while."
At the moment, all the members of the Black Stone Department are wearing sheepskin waistcoats, which look neat. Of course, these are all provided by the Salt Department.
Cangwu had never tried running outside with his tribe members in winter. As for how to train in winter, he didn't even know.
Since Zhao Hao was in charge of these matters, he didn't have to worry too much.
He nodded simply and said: "Well, you can do whatever you want, but I'll have to work hard for you again."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao actually shook his head and said: "Why am I working hard? It's Ahua and the others who are working hard. I came to you today just to tell you that I will go back to the Youyan Department later. After all, I
He is the leader of the Yan tribe. No matter what happens, he must take his people through the winter."
ah!
Hearing this, Cangwu couldn't help but be surprised and said: "You go back, what will they do?"
Zhao Hao said calmly: "Don't worry, I've already told Ahua and the others that they won't follow me back. It's okay to leave the winter training to them. I really want to go back, and I won't go back again."
It’s too late to prepare.”
He was really anxious to go back because some members of the Yan tribe were already preparing to move.
It would definitely not work to leave all the tribesmen near the lake where Kui was originally for the winter, because there would be no shelter there. When winter comes, it will definitely be a cold wind and freezing weather. Even if the people are fine, the cattle, sheep and horses will also suffer.
No, especially cows and horses. They don't have thick down, so if they spend the winter in the snow without any cover, they will freeze to death.
Therefore, he had already planned to move all his people and livestock to the jungle near the grassland to avoid the cold wind during the winter.
The place he chose was on both sides of the river near the bamboo forest where Menglan and Mengbao were.
At this time, cattle pens, sheep pens and horse stables have been built in the jungle over there where the wild grass is relatively lush. There are people from the Yan tribe who are waiting for him to return and lead everyone to migrate.
After Zhao Hao had an explanation with Cangwu, he took Ayun and Ayue over the original black stone ridge, rode on the white dragon that had been waiting there for a long time, and went straight to the lake where Kui was.
And go.
After they arrived at the gathering place of the Youyan tribe, they rested in a hurry for a night. Early the next morning, he and his tribe began to unpack their tents and prepare to migrate.
There is nothing to say about this migration. The nomadic people live in constant migration. This is not the first time for the Yan tribe to migrate. In addition, their population is not large, and the number of horses is frightening. Moreover, this
Now they are basically able to control the horses skillfully, so migrating is naturally much easier than before.
The entire migration process lasted about five or six days. After driving the cattle, sheep and horses into the cattle pens, sheep pens and stables in the jungle, the Yan tribe people also began to set up tents on both sides of the river in preparation for the winter.
At this time, it seemed that nothing happened, but Zhao Hao knew very well that what happened next would be called busy.
Because cattle, sheep and horses also need to eat during the winter!
In winter, heavy snow covers the entire grassland. It is definitely impossible to let cattle, sheep and horses graze easily. It is impossible for cattle, sheep and horses to dig through the thick snow to eat the grass below.
.
Therefore, at this time, they must prepare a large amount of hay to ensure that the cattle, sheep and horses will not starve to death due to lack of food in the winter.
This is commonly known as killing grass.
As for how much grass to cut, it depends on the number of cattle, sheep and horses.
This guy, there are as many as 40,000 to 50,000 cattle, sheep, and horses in Yanbu right now, so you can imagine the amount of hay that needs to be prepared.
After the migration was completed, Zhao Hao took his mother and Ah Yue with him every day, waving the magic weapon constantly, squatting on the grass and mowing desperately. The three of them were like three lawn mowers.
Ayun, on the other hand, led the other tribesmen and followed behind with their horses, constantly bundling the cut hay, loading it on the horses, and pulling them back.
This process of cutting grass lasted for nearly a month. It was not until the first heavy snowfall in winter that the grassland became completely white. Zhao Hao had to stop cutting grass and took his tribe back to the bamboo forest to prepare for the winter.
.
The fodder they harvest is definitely not enough to feed 40,000 to 50,000 cattle and sheep for a whole winter. However, fortunately, there are weeds in the jungle, and the jungle naturally has the function of blocking the wind and snow. No matter how heavy the snow is, it can usually only
Covering the tops of the trees, as for the bottom of the trees, there are still many places that are not covered by ice and snow, and the grass there can also be beaten in winter.
