At this time, the mouth of the Wild Wolf Valley had completely turned into a mess.
Although the skill of a group of hunters in roping horses was appalling, due to the large number of people and the concentration of wild horses in confusion, many were still lassoed. Some horses were even lassoed with several ropes. Under the concerted efforts of several hunters, these horses were lassoed.
Facing a group of terrifying upright apes, the wild horse could not escape, and could only struggle desperately. However, in the end, it was overthrown to the ground by a group of hunters who swarmed forward, and its four hooves were tied first according to Xu Chen's request.
Of course, only a few succeeded in this joint effort. In the chaos, most of them fled into the river and fled to the other side. Many of the horses had ropes and horse poles around their necks, and a hunter behind was pulled like a kite.
It flew along with howls of ghosts and wolves, and occasionally hit a rock and really flew up, and then hit the thorns and pebbled river beach with a thud.
This is an unprecedented contest between men and horses.
Both sides were panicked.
Generally speaking, the wild horses are more panicked.
After all, this group of hunters are all carefully selected strong men. They hunt all year round and are agile and run like flying. Although they were caught off guard and were pulled by wild horses and ran wildly, almost no one was willing to let go. There were even savages with very impressive skills while running.
Just grab the wild horse's mane and jump on the horse's back.
Seeing a guy staggering on the back of a wild horse and rushing to the other side, Xu Chen's eyes went straight.
This is a truly wild man, so his blood was boiling with excitement. As soon as the cane hit the pony's buttocks, he rushed down the hillside with his legs crossed and headed straight for the valley mouth. At the same time, he was still yelling: "Hold the horse tight."
Neck, don’t let go~”
However, the situation was extremely chaotic at this time, and his shouting was of no avail.
The guy lying on the horse was being tossed around and was about to fall off at any moment.
A group of wild horses that had rushed across the river beach had entered the thorn bush area, hoping to escape and ascend to heaven.
But I didn't expect that there would also be huge dangers after entering. Seven or eight thick trip ropes were pulled up and tightened by the ambushed hunters using trees and rocks. There were several loud bangs, and several of the fastest and strong horses fell down one after another.
When he fell down, the horses behind him were caught off guard and collided with each other. More than a dozen horses instantly rolled to the ground. Even the guy hanging on the horse's back, crying and howling like a wolf, was thrown high and flew high, hitting the grass heavily and making no sound.
"Netga~~"
Seeing that the trip rope had worked wonders, amidst roars of surprise, a group of hunters with rope nets rushed up from all sides, and their hoods were thrown over the fallen wild horse.
But wild horses are extremely powerful, struggling desperately to get up and rush out. Some have their heads wrapped, some have their necks wrapped, and some have their legs and feet entangled with horse ropes. A large group behind them are waving horse poles and
The hunters with the lasso have also rushed over with the rest of the horses mixed together. Some horses were overturned in the middle of the river, while others fled down the river, and some even hurriedly dragged the ropes and rushed straight ahead.
Enter the Wild Wolf Valley.
The icy cold river roared and rolled, and the crowds and horses started an unprecedented fierce battle on the river at the mouth of Wolf Valley and on both sides.
Neighing and roaring, people and horses flipped over.
Most of the horses that escaped to the river bank were strong stallions, while those who stayed behind were basically mares and ponies.
Compared to a group of primitive hunters who dared to hunt dragons and tigers, those trapped mares and ponies were dwarfed in physical strength once they were unable to exert their speed advantage. Especially a group of ponies, which were constantly being pulled and overturned to the ground.
Several people would rush forward at the same time, hugging the head, hugging the legs, and tying up the hoofs and feet with horse ropes.
A group of fast and strong wild horses that escaped to the other side were blocked and tied up by horse ropes and rope nets one after another. After a period of chaos, some of the hunters were knocked over by the bite and collision, and they escaped from the encirclement. Without looking back, they rushed into the weeds and thorns to escape.
After running away, some of the remaining ones had injured their legs or feet or had been completely entangled in the ropes and rope nets. They struggled desperately to no avail. Their necks and legs and feet were strangled tighter and tighter. In the end, they could only resign themselves to their fate and fall in the grass.
middle.
When Xu Chen rode his horse and rushed to the entrance of Wild Wolf Valley, the chaos almost reached its most intense state.
The narrow river and its banks were full of fallen hunters or wild horses. Of course, there were more scenes of hunters and wild horses who had not been trapped and were running away along the river, kicking and kicking.
More and more hunters followed from the farmland.
Many people waved their ropes and threw them at the wild horses that were running in panic. Most of them failed, but some were lucky enough to get wrapped around the legs of the horses, and then they could see the wild horses that were running in panic and stumbled and rolled into the river.
Or fall down on the river beach.
And every time the rope is thrown successfully, a large group of hunters will immediately rush forward with shouts and shouts, and use the most primitive hand-to-hand method to suppress the wild horse.
As the wild horses dispersed, the melee area between humans and horses also spread rapidly downstream from the mouth of the Wild Wolf Valley. The chasing hunters automatically received wind buffs on their legs and began their best desperate pursuit mode.
"Woo~wu~~~"
Xu Chen blew the horn.
At this point, it no longer makes much sense to continue chasing the fleeing wild horses. The most important thing at the moment is to consolidate the victory achieved.
Hearing the horn sound to stop the pursuit, many hunters quickly stopped chasing and gathered towards the valley entrance from all directions.
"Go up and help and catch all the horses that are tied up!"
Xu Chen shouted while riding on the pony.
"Uga~~~"
All the hunters understood and rushed to the entrance of the valley to help. With the combined efforts of more than a hundred hunters, the chaotic fighting situation quickly stabilized. The wild horses that were trapped and unable to escape were finally captured one by one.
They were all tied up with ropes around their hooves and necks, and dragged to the open river beach.
"One horse, two horses, three horses, four horses..."
As wild horses of various sizes were subdued and pulled over from the grass and rivers one after another, Xu Chen kept counting while riding on his horse.
Half an hour later, the Yelang Valley entrance completely returned to tranquility.
A total of seventeen wild horses, large and small, were captured, and most of them escaped.
Those who escaped were basically the strongest adult horses, while those who were caught were mainly mares that had just given birth to foals and some one- and two-year-old ponies.
Of course, there are also three very handsome and strong adult horses among them.
In particular, there was a guy with a completely black body and a palm-sized white spot between his eyebrows. He was the leader of the wild horse who often took the lead in causing trouble in the farmland. Xu Chen had coveted him for a long time.
This horse was originally the fastest runner at the head, but it was caught by several tripping ropes and then was tightly trapped by the rope net. It lost the chance to escape immediately.
Facing such a huge victory, not only Xu Chen was smiling from ear to ear, but the hundreds of hunters who participated in the hunt were as crazy as they were surrounding the group of wild horses, howling like ghosts and wolves and unable to stop.
At this time, the Ba people had come out in full force, men, women, old and young. They gathered around and pointed and discussed excitedly. A group of children even happily somersaulted on the river beach, cheering and shouting that there was a horse to ride on. There was a horse to ride on.
Yeah.
Muba and a group of older women gathered together, their voices trembling with excitement.
The little witch held a golden scepter and stood far away among a group of women. Her eyes fell on Xu Chen and couldn't move away, her admiration was beyond words.
It took ten days from Xu Chen's meeting to discuss the matter to the final successful closing of the network.
This was the longest hunting operation. Although the process puzzled many people and even felt that Xu Chen was making a fuss out of a molehill, it was not until the moment of success that they truly appreciated the infinite power of wisdom.
With so many horses, even if they were eating meat, it would be enough to feed the entire tribe for two to three months.
What's more, after these horses are successfully trained, they can plow fields and run and hunt on horseback. They are so fast that they are not too impressive. A group of hunters have been envious of Xu Chen's ability to ride a horse for a long time.
"Chen Ga, can I ride Ga?"
Fengbi limped over with a bruised face and an excited smile on his face. Half of his face was swollen like a bun, and his head was still bleeding.
It was this guy who climbed onto the horse's back and was thrown off by a tripping horse rope. He fell into the grass and passed out. He was retrieved from the grass after all the horses had been subdued.
Fortunately, he only had a bruise on his head and suffered some skin trauma. He was not seriously injured. He was dragged into the river and iced for a while and he came back to life.
"Wild horses have very bad tempers, but this is not the pony I raised since childhood. If you want to ride it, you have to find a way on your own!" Xu Chen said with a smile.
"Teach me!" Feng grabbed Xu Chen's arm excitedly.
"Teach me Ga!"
"Teach me Ga!"
Almost all the hunters swarmed around Xu Chen. Although they were all dirty and even had bruises and swollen faces, they were all in high spirits.
"Find a way to ride on them without being thrown off. After training a few times, these horses will slowly be conquered. In addition, you must take good care of and raise them, talk to them and communicate with them, just like I take care of the ponies...
"
Xu Chen didn't know how to raise horses, but he had heard about some methods of taming wild horses.
Horses are extremely proud animals that are difficult to tame, but once tamed they become very loyal and obedient.
If wild horses are captured in the wild and have never been close to humans, domestication should be very difficult, but there is something different about this group of horses. They have been living together with the Ba people in the valley for a long time. Although the two sides have no interaction, they still often meet each other.
See, there is no obvious fear or hostility towards humans.
Just like the wolf Big Wolf II, their parents have lived in human territory for a long time. Although they are very wild, they still have some contact and understanding of humans. Therefore, this kind of wildness also has a kind of can
As domesticated seeds, the two little wolves are now slowly raised. Although they are still wild, at least they still have a very obvious sense of intimacy with a group of people and children who often feed them, and at least they will not bite people indiscriminately.
And this is a sign that it has a certain domestication function.
This group of wild horses are relatively close to humans, so their anger after being captured may be greater than their fear.
But as long as he is slowly and successfully appeased, Xu Chen believes it can still be used.
Of course, this is just his speculation, and it is still unknown whether it can actually succeed.
However, he would not participate in such things as the so-called dead Taoist friends and the conquering of wild horses.
The moment Kanfeng was thrown away, he had almost given up the idea of going into battle himself.
If a person is accidentally thrown down, his skin and flesh may be torn apart, or his arms and legs may be missing. If he is not very lucky, he may die directly.
Therefore, he could only tell the methods he knew, and let these guys try them slowly first, regardless of whether they were useful or not.
What if it really succeeds?
Anyway, it’s not you who’s in pain, let alone riding a horse without any effort.
In order to ride this pony, I had to work as a groom for more than a year, and he took better care of it than my own father.
Really, in his two lives, he was a thirty-year-old man before time travel. He had never fed his father a meal... No, he had cooked a meal, and he had never combed his hair...
