Half an hour later, Zhang Heng arrived at the cave of the Yun Tribe, which also belonged to the caveman civilization on the top of the mountain. Apart from the Log Tribe, he had never heard of any tribe living outside the cave. Of course, the migrating tribes were not counted. Such tribes
More like nomads.
"King, the Yun tribe has a total population of 785, including 523 adult men, 59 killed in battle, nearly 300 injured, 165 adult women, and 89 children.
, eight old people, one of whom is a wizard." Su Xiu reported clearly.
But Zhang Heng just nodded slightly and continued to focus on the carvings on the cave wall. Although the lines on it were relatively messy, Zhang Heng could already distinguish some information on his own, such as totems. The totems of the Yun tribe were actually a kind of
The four-legged beast running on the clouds looks very much like a dragon's head, a horse's body, four hooves, snake scales, antlers, lion's eyes, a tiger's back, a bear's waist, and an ox's tail, and its roar is like thunder!
This pattern is very similar to the auspicious beast Qilin depicted in modern times. Qilin is also common in temples, but it is just a spiritual resemblance and should not be the same kind, because this pattern is a collection of many kinds of beasts in space. The beast of space
There are some differences from modern times, so naturally they cannot be completely the same.
"Doubt? This is?" Zhang Heng was suddenly attracted by another pattern next to him, which depicts a huge elephant pattern. Since visiting the zoo, he has a more comprehensive understanding of animals, but the large size of the pattern
The painting of the elephant is a bit exaggerated, as it actually requires more than fifty primitive people to hunt it, and the battle scene is very large, obviously after a fierce battle.
"Wang, this should be the mammoth that Chi Heman said." The old doctor said, and several accompanying wizards have also entered the cave. They are studying and carving them. These are the inheritance of the Yun Tribe. They are the fire of civilization, civilization.
If it is immortal, it will continue to be glorious.
The wizard of the Yun tribe was also in the cave, but he kept silent and said nothing. Zhang Heng could only express his helplessness. It was a pity to kill him. It was too much to let him become a slave. Apart from his identity as a wizard, the other party was already a slave.
He is an old man, and war should have nothing to do with old people and children.
"You go and ask. Where are the mammoths? Also, there is a legend about where the Youfang tribe is. Slaves are also divided into grades. Building a city is just tiring, but digging coal and mining can lead to death. So let Youfang
People from the tribe come and dig coal for Taihao!" Zhang Heng said calmly, Youfang was originally a murderous tribe, so he naturally didn't need to feel any psychological burden when dealing with him.
Half an hour later, a huge elephant skeleton was found. There were actually dozens of tusks. The skeleton and tusks alone were frightening.
"Mammoth, an ancient giant that became extinct between 3,000 and 10,000 years ago. It is six meters long, four meters high, and its incisors are 1.5 meters long. It weighs six to ten tons. An adult mammoth can easily weigh more than 10,000 pounds. It has fine and long hair.
The skin is very thick, with an extremely thick fat layer. It can reach nine centimeters, and is tan in color. Its back is the highest point of the body, and it descends steeply from the back. There is an obvious depression at the neck, and the skin is long.
It is covered with long hair, like a hunchbacked old man, and has strong attack power. It lives in cold areas and lives on grass and shrub leaves. It is an important hunting target for primitive people and is also the favorite prey of saber-toothed tigers. Pregnant
The period is about twenty-two months, or even longer, and they live in a fixed area, unlike modern elephants that usually migrate with the seasons..." The person who spoke was actually a female doctor, and she spoke in detail about
Mammoth information.
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "This can only be used as a reference. You will know after killing it!"
I have already obtained an ivory, which is of length and weight, but it is too curved to be used as a weapon. Unless someone specializes in this kind of ivory, I shook my head, at least he can't.
"Collect all the valuable things and put the ivory alone!" Zhang Heng played with it for a while and then put it down. No matter how valuable the ivory is, he is not interested in it. Now he has already passed the bank card processing method.
The mentality of putting it in your underwear.
――――――――
After resting for three days in the Yun Tribe, the old doctor excitedly took over the management. During the three days, he always asked Da Wuyan about some tribe matters. Zhang Heng seemed to see reincarnation from the two figures. As for the reason, he could not tell.
Come.
In the early morning of the fourth day, everyone, even the seriously injured, were carried out. Zhang Heng stood on a high platform specially built by Jiang An and shouted: "I am the Sun King of the Taihao Tribe, and this is my territory from now on."
, you are all my slaves. Now I will take away the men who can still fight. This is one, this is three. As long as one of you captures three slaves for me, you can officially become Taihao's people.
You only have one chance. If you don’t want to be a slave, then fight for me. If there are any rebels, kill them on the spot!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" Taihao warriors shouted in unison.
Zhang Heng shouted again: "Now, my warriors, Taihao, and the warriors of the Sun King, please raise another weapon on the chariot. This weapon has an edge. You will use it to kill. Just in front of you is
The sinful Youfang tribe and the giant beasts like mountains, I want you to dye the weapons in your hands red, the color of the sun, which is also the color of blood. Fight, the Sun King is with you!"
"Fight, fight! Long live the Sun King!"
The army continued on the road. Taihao left behind two hundred warriors and more than a thousand monkeys, but took away three hundred warriors of the Yun tribe, totaling more than nine hundred, and continued to go south.
But who would have thought that this journey lasted for half a month. Not even a single tribe was found on the way, only more ferocious beasts. Dozens of large and small beasts were slaughtered, and some animals that had not been seen before were also seen.
I have seen animals, but none of them are as fierce as the Destruction Tiger and the Biyan, let alone the Giant Snake of the Deep Beach.
"King, how about we give up the chariot!" Su Xiu persuaded, if it were not for the drag of the chariot, we should have been able to cross the mountains and forests ten days ago.
Zhang Heng shook his head and echoed: "Don't you notice that the further you go, the colder the weather becomes? This is spring, and it should be a season that is getting warmer and warmer. Even if it rains, the temperature will not drop on a large scale.
This alone can prove that it will be extremely cold ahead. The people of the Yun tribe are different because they often come here, but our warriors are different. The climate is likely to affect the combat effectiveness. After passing through the mountains and forests, there is a plain.
Ten chariots are powerful enough to attack any powerful tribe."
The left bow and right spear have strings in the middle, and are pulled by a bull-headed horse-body beast, accompanied by seventeen warriors to protect them. This is the configuration of the chariot. In addition to attacking, it can also be used to defend and pull food. Now they have all moved.
At this point, even if it means lifting, the chariot must be lifted out of the mountains.
It is precisely in response to Zhang Heng's words that the last broken road chariot will not be able to pass at all, unless a lot of time is wasted to open up wasteland and build roads. This is obviously more suitable before the war. After resting for a winter, it is now the battle. If we do it again
If you become a tired army, you are putting the cart before the horse. Then you have to carry the chariot and move slowly.
After another five solar days, the team of nearly a thousand people finally crossed the last mountain forest. The vast expanse of prairie came into view, stretching all the way to the sky. There was a huge herd of beasts running in the distance. It was really huge and rough.
You can see hundreds of them with just one scan.
"Chilechuan, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows the grass and you can see the cattle and sheep!" Zhang Heng couldn't help humming the folk song he learned in the book. This is a nomadic people.
The melody, regardless of the artistic conception of the words, this tune alone can show the vast grassland before your eyes.
"I, Zhang Heng, the Sun King, want to conquer this place. From now on, the wild beasts running on the grassland, the vegetation growing, and the flying birds will all belong to my property!" A rather arrogant voice followed.
Then there were cheers and the sound of the chariot landing. The chariot that surpassed this era finally had a place to be used, galloping and fighting on this vast grassland!
"Wang, look, what is that?" Su Xiu suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted in surprise.
But Zhang Heng didn't need to be surprised at all. If there was something going on, how could so many primitive warriors not notice it? When he looked in the direction of his finger, it turned out that Su Xiu was making a fuss. It was just a group of big birds flying from the sky.
.
"Sun King, kill the eagle, the eagle." The voice was actually Zhu, the wizard of the Yun tribe. Zhu had never spoken before, but now he suddenly spoke and immediately attracted Zhang Heng's attention.
"Eagle? Is there anything special? Translate and communicate with me immediately." Zhang Heng ordered.
Groups of eagles flew from the sky. They were only as big as a washbasin. With the arm strength of primitive people, one punch could destroy one. They really did not pose a threat. However, Zhang Heng also noticed that the three hundred cloud tribe warriors he brought out were also somewhat
Feeling uneasy, but not afraid, this is a bit special.
After a moment, Su Xiu spoke up: "King, the eagles they said would rob the tribe's trophies. After hunting the beasts, the eagles would come and rob them, and they would also eat the corpses of primitive people after they died. People here are after death.
Put it directly into the cave on the cliff..." Su Xiu's voice became smaller and smaller at the end. It was obvious that talking about corpses is always scary for women.
But Zhang Heng has a big heart. When people in the village die, they will put them in the main room as a dojo. Poor families will keep them for two days, and rich people will keep them for four days. After the dojo, they will be placed in the coffin. To put it simply,
The corpse is not scary, it’s just your own heart that’s timid!
At this time, I was a little curious about the customs here. In the Taihao area, there were actually very few corpses of primitive people left. As for the disposal, Zhang Heng directly arranged for the burial.
But I didn’t expect that this area would be placed in a cave on the cliff and allowed to rot and weather. This would be considered a sky burial!
