The leading horse suddenly lost control, and the horses behind him also collided with each other before they could brake. As soon as they got up, they were faced with a large group of humans rushing towards them, screaming and screaming. Some were holding ropes and poles in their hands, and some were completely bare-handed.
There were struggles and screams, the two sides struggled with each other, the rumbling collisions mixed with the roars and screams of the hunters, and the whole valley was in chaos.
If this road is blocked, we can only find another way out.
Faced with such an encounter between the leader and his companions, even the herd of wild horses, which had always been dismissive of the two-legged beasts, became even more panicked. Some neighed and rushed around without a clue, while others turned around and ran towards the valley with clearer minds.
In such a chaotic situation, a group of hunters on horseback such as Feng came into play. They all raised their lasso poles to pat the horses and began to chase and intercept the wild horses that were running around in the woods. They soon gained results and lassoed three horses one after another.
, with the help of the hunters who rushed up, he was quickly subdued.
At this time, many hunter teams had begun to disperse and chase the horses, some heading for the river beach, some heading for the valley, and the situation was chaotic.
"Sound the horn, gather the team, our target is the valley, don't chase those in other places!"
Xu Chen issued a new order, and Gu who was following him quickly blew the rally horn.
The hunters of all races who received the order to assemble quickly gave up the pursuit and hurried towards the valley to assemble.
At this time, the hunting scope has been limited to an area less than one mile from the mouth of the valley. Hundreds of people surrounded it from three directions, and they could almost see each other's figures.
"So team attention, our target is the wild horses that escaped into the valley. Don't worry about the others for the time being. How many horses we can catch today depends on this net closing operation. Listen to my order, the edges on both sides of the valley entrance
We are surrounded by mountains and forests while other teams enter the valley!"
"Ouch~~"
"Boom..."
Following Xu Chen's order, some groups of hunters on both sides of the valley rushed into the dense woods. After frightening countless birds, they screamed and ran along the hillsides on both sides of the valley, while the remaining groups surrounded them.
The main hunting team at the entrance of the valley was howling and raising various horse-harnessing tools, approaching the entrance of the valley with howls like ghosts and wolves.
At this time, after dozens of horses were intercepted and returned, they lost their leading stallion and were running back and forth neighing at the mouth of the valley without a leader.
Facing a group of primitive humans covered in oil paint and holding wooden poles and ropes, these wild horses were frightened and cornered, and swarmed into the valley.
The valley is not too big, the mouth of the valley is only forty or fifty meters wide, and the slopes on both sides are not too steep. They are covered with big trees and vines.
This group of horses stays near the river mouth all year round, on the river beach in spring and autumn, and near the valley in summer and winter. They rarely enter the dense forest because their size and large group are not suitable for living in dense forests. Their strong
Long legs are designed for running on vast plains.
Even in this small valley, where fresh springs flow all year round and flowers and plants flourish, they rarely come in.
However, they had to come in today.
After entering, they discovered that this place was indeed not suitable for their survival, because the valley was too small, like a cone, and became narrower as it went inward. In the end, only a mountain spring and stream remained.
At this time, the hunters outside were already holding up horse poles and rope nets, rushing in like a group of wild beasts.
"Eh~~"
A stallion took the lead and charged into the dense forests on both sides of the valley.
But at this time, hunters also began to appear in the woods. These people were wearing furs and holding wooden sticks. They climbed over the mountains and ridges as if they were walking on the plains. They grabbed vines and jumped forward in the dense forest. They also made "boo-boo-boo-boo" noises in their mouths.
The sound of expulsion.
Therefore, although many strong wild horses used their courage and speed to rush into the forest and escape before the besieging hunters, more pregnant mares and ponies lost their chance due to panic and fear, and were unable to escape halfway through.
Without retreating, they gathered together in a mess and continued running along the stream into the valley.
Of course, there were inevitably one or two horses among them who were so panicked that they went completely stupid and rushed towards the valley entrance directly against the running crowd, trying to escape from the human trap and ascend to heaven.
It's a pity that all the hunters are possessed by men who are roping horses at this moment, and they will not give these brave Don Quixote horses any chance at all. A large group of people swarmed up, setting traps, rods, ropes, and nets, and they all covered them, and then several wild horses
It became a zongzi horse, tied up and unable to move anymore.
"Catch Gaga!"
"嘢嚯~"
"Chai Ga!"
A few dazed trophy horses were obtained easily, and the hunters became even more excited and manic. They were like a group of Dongchang Fanzi who were visiting the brothel together. They followed the horses with ropes and went straight to the depths of the valley.
At this time, the horses in front were approaching the middle of the valley, and the slopes on both sides were getting steeper.
Xu Chen came in on horseback and kept giving orders, giving orders to abandon the pursuit of the escaping wild horses and place the target in the valley. So the hunters abandoned the wild horses that were possessed by goat souls and continued to run up the hillsides on both sides at the risk of falling and getting injured.
Instead, they pursue the largest group of mothers and infants.
This valley is about the same size as the Wild Wolf Valley, but the environment is very different. There are steep cliffs on both sides of the Wild Wolf Valley, streams flow all year round, large rocks are scattered throughout, and the Calabash Valley is covered with various large-leafed plants. In fact, the Calabash Valley is relatively open inside.
But both sides of the entrance to the valley are dense forests on hillsides that are not too steep. The valley is covered with various thorny plants, as dense as a spider web. Apart from the gravel, the only open space is a stream.
Therefore, a large group of people chased a group of wild horses and kept running along the stream. In the end, the wild horses found that there was no way to escape. The gentle hillsides on both sides slowly narrowed into a rocky valley. A stream started from a steep
It flows down from the stone cracks in twists and turns.
This is a dead end.
Dozens of horses were like a group of hamsters. They were finally squeezed into a narrow valley by themselves and their companions. They could not advance or retreat. Their restless neighing was of no avail. They all became turtles in a urn.
"Quack, quack, roadless quack!"
The hunters who caught up behind them laughed like ghosts and wolves, and then they couldn't wait for Xu Chen behind to give orders, so they all waved their horse poles and ropes and started to catch them.
Faced with an escape route completely blocked by dense crowds of humans, a group of wild horses could only neigh and struggle symbolically for a few times. Then they were obediently tied up around the neck, tied up with four hooves, and dragged out of the herd. Then, the hunters cheered.
In the laughter, it became another trophy of mankind.
Most of this group of wild horses were mares that had lost their first horse or half-adult foals, and they were crowded together to create a spectacular scene. When Xu Chen came in, a group of hunters were putting ropes on the wild horses' heads like a competition in a ring.
Even later, the pony caught in the middle didn't need to be harnessed at all. When he saw the mare being dragged away, he took the initiative to follow him out.
And a group of hunters gradually became more courageous. Many of them didn't even need to hitch a horse pole, but just took a rope and put it on the horse's neck. Although these horses still wanted to struggle or even bite and kick, they were very agile in the face of a group of hunters who hunted all year round.
For hunters, the aggressiveness of wild horses is too weak and almost no threat compared with tigers, wild wolves, dragons and beasts. So in less than an hour, these dozens of horses were all tied up with ropes and driven away by hundreds of people.
Under the tug, he walked vigorously out of the valley.
"Chen Ga, big... big... big harvest..."
Long followed Xu Chen, his tongue tangled in excitement.
“It is indeed a great harvest!”
Xu Chen was riding on horseback, standing at the mouth of the valley and looking at the wild horses that were being pulled and driven out, with a smile on his face.
Although it was a temporary plan, the number of people he could command now laid a solid foundation for his success.
After all, any hunt requires sufficient manpower.
In the past, ancient Chinese emperors led tens of thousands of troops on autumn hunts, surrounding forest gardens spanning hundreds of miles and hunting ligers and other ferocious beasts. Now, using hundreds of men to round up a herd of wild horses is not a big event.
However, for this vast and sparsely populated wilderness era and the current living environment, this has to be said to be a great initiative.
It is estimated that no other tribe in the entire human world can mobilize a team of more than 300 people to hunt at one time, and no tribal leader can command hunters from more than ten tribes to participate in this hunting activity at the same time.
If there are historians to record history, the process of rounding up wild horses will inevitably become a mythical description on a grand scale in the future:
"On that day, the Witch King commanded more than ten warriors to hunt by the Black River, and captured dozens of divine horses. When the trumpet came, all the beasts trembled, the sun and the moon trembled, the divine light appeared, and the sky was filled with golden light."
Well, it seems that this diary needs to be carefully considered.
You must write passionately and full of mythology so that you can gain more power of faith.
At this time, the setting sun reflects on the vast river beach, a brilliant sunset appears in the western sky, and the sparkling golden light shines near the river mouth, creating a vast and infinitely beautiful scene.
Xu Chen looked at the lively scene in front of him, with people neighing and people neighing. He couldn't help but let out a long roar, kicked the horse's belly fiercely and spurred the horse to rush towards the vast river beach. The red cloak behind him was rolled up, showing a few figures in the autumn wind and setting sun.
