There is no flat river beach in the mountains and forests.
The place is densely covered with thorns and trees, and the hillside is slightly steep. After the wild horses rush in, their speed will soon slow down.
A group of selected elite riders, waving their horse poles, galloped back and forth through the woods chasing the herd of wild horses running here and there.
Although some hunters would be dragged off their horses by the wild horses after being lassoed, or even knocked down by the ropes blocked by trees, the wild horses without speed would have no room to struggle. The surrounding auxiliary hunters swarmed up and relied on the strength of the barbarians.
With just his hands, he can knock over hundreds of thousands of pounds of wild horses to the ground, hold his four hooves together, and make his movements numb.
After all, most of them were hunters who had participated in the roundup of wild horses last year, and they had been specially trained for half a year. What's more, in the planning and arrangement, according to the terrain and environment, all the details had already been arranged in place.
Whether it is driving away an ambush or rounding up and blocking, all team formations are assigned to the officers in charge. Even in each team, there are three people in groups of five, and each person is responsible for the tools and actions required.
The roping horse is only responsible for roping the horse. Once it is lassoed, several assistants must take action, including neck hugging and leg roping. An activity team must act in unison to ensure that the roped horse is subdued as quickly as possible.
Then after finding a place to tie them up, the group goes to the next target.
A total of more than 600 people participated, and the main hunters were more than 400. In addition to the driving and mobile teams, there were also more than 30 core horse-catching teams, plus a group of riders chasing them in all directions. In such a chaotic environment, they were rounded up.
Don't take it too easy. As long as your hands are not particularly shaky, you can take down a wild horse in one or two shots on average.
After using bridles to capture more than a dozen of the strongest stallions, the leaderless wild horses were completely confused and had no direction. They were running around in the mountains and forests, and were then captured by the guys who were already so excited that they were drooling.
Taken in groups.
Dongdongdongdong...
The sound of drum beating continued.
However, there are fewer and fewer wild horses still running on the hillside, and more and more of them are tied up or snared by ropes. Some foals are running helplessly and neighing in the woods without anyone taking care of them.
, and some squeezed directly into a group of wild horses that were captured and tied to trees, looking for their mothers and seeking a sense of security.
Half an hour later, when the last tall and strong wild horse covered in snow was finally surrounded by more than a dozen hunters on horseback, and then five or six lasso poles were finally used to wrap its neck, the wild horse roundup ended perfectly.
.
From the time the roundup order was issued until the chaos in the woods slowly subsided, Xu Chen stood on the mound observing the situation.
It lasted nearly three hours.
In fact, the preliminary preparation and rendezvous time only took two hours, and the actual round-up time before and after was less than an hour.
When a burst of enthusiastic cheers finally erupted from the woods and echoed through the mountains, Xu Chen knew that the event was over.
Although I was a little worried about how many wild horses I had caught.
But judging from the constant and chaotic rumbling in the woods and the duration, the search should not be too small.
After all, this was the largest and largest paramilitary event he had ever organized.
Almost all the resources he could mobilize were used.
Moreover, I spent half a year training and researching specifically for this purpose.
According to his speculation, the number of wild horses captured should not be lower than last year.
Or even if it's a little less, it won't be much less.
Last year, the Uzu's roundup of wild horses on the river beach actually took advantage of a bug in the field, and finally obtained a harvest beyond expectations through the stuck map.
Even in the first year of rounding up wild horses in the Ba tribe, they still took advantage of the terrain, and of course, there was also some luck, because the next eight adult horses were captured after escaping into the Wild Wolf Valley to catch turtles in the urn. In fact, they were picked up for nothing.
But this year, it all depends on the hunter's normal hunting ability, and he really has no idea how much he can harvest.
But half an hour later, when he watched groups of hunters dragging and driving wild horses of all sizes onto the empty river beach, he couldn't help but smile with surprise and surprise on his face.
Although a group of hunters still didn't know how to count, they were confused and excited with their back molars exposed when reporting. Some said eighty, some said one hundred, and some said one hundred and fifty. Xu Chen listened.
His face kept twitching, but as these wild horses were finally driven together, Xu Chen quickly counted the harvest.
There are a total of 108 horses, large and small, no more and no less, exactly the same number as the number of heroes in Liangshanbo.
According to the previous dozen or so inspections, the number of wild horses living here is roughly around 130. Currently, more than 80% of them have been captured, and a total of only 20 have escaped or slipped through the net.
Among the captured wild horses, more than 70% were adult wild horses. Although each of the more than ten alpha male horses looked unruly and with messy fur, they were strong and powerful.
In particular, there was a snow-white stallion, the tallest and strongest, with five or six roping ropes around its neck. Even so, it was still neighing and struggling, opening its mouth to bite the rope and break free.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Seeing Xu Chen carefully observing the white horse, Fengxin rubbed his chest and said: "This horse is so fierce, it tripped the rope three times and didn't catch it!"
"So powerful?" Xu Chen was shocked when he heard it.
"Yeah, he's so strong, he runs so fast, he kicked and injured several people. The first time I was lassoed, he took me off my horse once, and I almost died when I hit a tree!" Feng Xiang grinned in pain.
His face was twitching.
"Yeah, he's so strong, it took five of us to subdue him!" Lei also nodded seriously beside him.
"I don't know if I can surrender you!" a hunter said nervously.
A group of people looked at each other, as if there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
This horse is obviously larger than all the other horses. Its back is more than two meters, and its head is more than three meters high. Even strong men like Long and Lei, who are about two meters tall, can't stand in front of this horse.
Just like a child, other ordinary hunters pale in comparison and even dare not approach him at all.
Wild horses are inherently violent and difficult to tame.
What's more, he is so tall and strong that ordinary people cannot get close to him.
At present, it takes five tall and strong hunters to hold on to the five horse ropes to barely calm it down.
Therefore, it is estimated that it is not that difficult to tame this horse.
But taming is not something that should be discussed right now. No matter how strong a horse is, it can be tamed as long as you find a way. What's more, even if it can't be tamed, it is still a good thing to stay in the tribe as a stallion. After all, this is the first time he has encountered such a handsome and strong wild horse.
, without a good stallion, these wild horse populations will slowly degenerate, and will be much worse after a few generations.
So after counting all the harvests and each tribe lining up according to the team and counting the number of people, Xu Chen ordered the driver...well, to set off home.
However, we encountered considerable difficulties when crossing the river.
Because most of the horses refused to cross the river, it was useless to pull and beat them hard. Hundreds of people were on the river beach and hundreds of horses were twisted into a ball in the shallow water, making the river beach hundreds of meters long become muddy.
, many hunters were knocked over by wild horses and fell into the cold river water, and some were even injured by horse hooves because they moved slowly in the river.
And a group of savages didn't have much choice. They pushed and pulled the wild horse into the river. Some held the rope and others pulled the tail and swam to the other side.
But after all, there are only a few people who dare to swim, and most of them are people who can't swim. What's more, even if they can swim, it is not small. Some horses struggle to swim back, and some just swim along.
The cold and fast water went downstream, and some hunters followed suit, floating and flopping in the water. It looked like everything was in danger.
In order to save these companions and recover the wild horses, some hunters hurriedly followed them with rafts, causing chaos in the middle of the river and the banks. The hunters' cries of ghosts and wolf howls and the neighing of horses came and went one after another, creating a chaotic mess.
More than half an hour later, only a dozen horses actually crossed the river. Two more horses broke free from the hunter's rope in the middle of the river and floated along the river four or five miles down before reaching the shore. Several rafts were chasing after them.
Although they quickly followed and landed on the beach, it seemed that they only caught one, and the other quickly disappeared after landing on the beach.
Xu Chen's face turned black as he stood on the shore and watched.
A wise man will make a mistake every time he thinks.
He thought out every detail of his plan to round up the wild horses from beginning to end, and tried his best to make sure there were no blind spots, and the results met or even exceeded his expectations.
But against all odds, he forgot the last step on how to bring back such a large group of wild horses.
Although the Wulong River is no longer a natural chasm for these savages, and even those who are brave and good at swimming can swim across it, but these wild horses are not wild sheep or one or two wild donkeys, and it is not easy to control them. It is very difficult to cross the river smoothly.
Super imaginative.
What's more, the wild horses have a violent personality. After being captured by humans, they became even more anxious. Coupled with the fact that hundreds of people forced them to cross the river, the fear was even worse. Because they were disobedient, the hunters could only drive them away and beat them. In this way, the wild horses became even more excited and the scene gradually began.
Out of control.
"Sound the horn and tell everyone to stop and bring the horses to the shore." Xu Chen frowned.
Accompanied by the sound of a whining horn, the new order was passed on. Under the loud scolding of a group of officers, hundreds of wet hunters pulled all the wild horses that were also wet and drove them to the river beach, and then
The chaotic scene slowly subsided.
"Lei, you have people tie all the foals to the raft and transport them there first. The wind will take all the stallions to the upstream Wild Wolf Beach. They will cross the river from there later, and the mares will stay here!"
Although everyone didn't quite understand Xu Chen's instructions, they all took action quickly.
The wind carried more than 300 people and drove dozens of stallions quickly upstream along the river beach.
Lei Ze led a group of hunters to collect nearly twenty colts of different sizes and less than two years old and tied them to the raft and began to cross the river.
A large number of mares who stayed behind watched their babies being carried away on the raft, and they neighed and hooved incessantly, trying to rush into the river to rescue the ponies. However, they were grabbed by a group of hunters and couldn't move, so they could only watch helplessly.
Watching the ponies being driven across the river by the hunter shouting the trumpet.
