302 Rounding up the wild horses 2

Xu Chen slowly approached the valley with Feng and a group of hunters who were best at riding horses.

There is a not-too-large stream here, which flows into the Wushui not far away. Further downstream is the estuary where the Wushui and Wulong River converge.

The wild grass withered and yellow in autumn and winter, and there is no way to see too much green on the entire river beach.

After the water at the estuary fell, it exposed a large pebbly beach, which looked even more empty.

Wild beasts of all sizes are scattered on this radius of dozens of miles to feed and run. A large number of water birds gather near the exposed sand and gravel beach at the mouth of the river, and are circling and rolling very spectacularly.

It is still a wilderness here, with almost no traces of artificiality visible.

Near the foot of the mountain, there are several rolling mountains. Continue down the mountains for seven or eight miles, which leads to the Hu people’s valley.

The area at the junction of mountains and river beaches is a large area of ​​low thorns and jungle areas. The hillsides towards the ridges and valleys are all turned into towering trees and primeval forests, covering the mountains and rivers is airtight, and it has rarely been stepped on by humans for tens of millions of years.

In the dense forests of the mountains is the home of all kinds of beasts.

The wolf, bear, tiger and leopard are each divided into kings.

And those places are also a paradise for various animals and plants. All kinds of trees, flowers and plants that they do not recognize bloom and fall, and grow in the years, and all kinds of wild birds, monkeys, snakes, rats, insects, beasts, etc. feed on each other.

This is the most primitive place, harmonious, natural, peaceful and full of bloody killing and survival.

Even though the Wu people have lived near the river beach for hundreds of years, these mountains and forests that are so close are rarely involved.

Because once you go in, you may never get out again.

The small valley where the wild horses live now is a gentle slope between river beaches and mountain forests.

Apart from wolves and ordinary beasts, there are almost no large beasts here, which is relatively safe.

Xu Chen and others led the horses through a mess of thorns and woods, and finally saw the traces of the wild horses.

"Then there is a valley, and the range of wild horses is nearby. I have been here for a long time recently. I haven't moved much in half a month..."

Feng followed Xu Chen and lowered his voice to tell the story of what he had recently inquired about.

Although he saw the wild horse, Xu Chen felt a little tooth pain.

Because this place is too big, the wild horses are quite scattered. It is said that they are a group, but in fact they are divided into seven or eight small groups, seven or eight few horses, and twenty more, scattered in a range of two miles in diameter.

Although there are many hunters with 300 people, there are few people scattered in such a large forest.

Moreover, these wild horses are completely different from the remaining wild horse breeds on the earth. They are tall and strong and run quickly. Once they are found to be approached by a large number of humans and escape in scattered areas, it will be very difficult to capture them.

Moreover, because there is no preparation in advance, all kinds of trap mechanisms cannot be used to ambush.

The best way is naturally to slowly drive the wild horses into the valley and then catch turtles in the jar.

The terrain of the valley, dragon and others have already found out that there is a narrowing dead-headed valley inside, but the hillsides on both sides near the entrance are relatively flat. If the wild horses cannot be successfully driven into the middle part of the valley, there will basically be no big gains.

Therefore, we must try to shrink the encirclement as much as possible while the wild horses are not alert, and force the wild horses into the valley first, and then look at the situation.

In short, this is both an opportunity and a test. Whether it can succeed depends on the cooperation of the hunter teams between these different tribes.

Fortunately, the hunter team of the Six Clan Alliance already has a unified command system and familiar commands, which is easier to command. As for the hunters of the seven or eight tribes of the Gonghuo Clan Alliance, they can only improvise them.

"Gu~Gugu~~"

In the distance, a few wild birds cries came.

Soon, the sounds of different birds and beasts sounded one after another in different directions up and down the valley entrance.

This is a signal that the rounded-up hunter team has approached the valley one after another.

It was already around 2 pm and the sun began to go west.

The day is short in autumn and winter, and it is dark early, and it is all about hours. When sunset is ten, many wild beasts will go to the river beach to drink water, and some beasts will take the opportunity to go out for food. It will be even more difficult to start when it causes chaos in the horse herd.

Therefore, Xu Chen felt that it was not appropriate to go back, so Feng sent a signal to take action.

"Gu~Gugugugugu~~"

A series of wild birds singing sounded in the woods.

Soon, hunters surrounded by different directions began to slowly encircle the wild horses, and at the same time, various wild birds and beasts cried and roared in their mouths.

These sounds are not unfamiliar with the wild horses and are heard every day, so they did not arouse the alert and attention of the wild horses at the beginning. However, as the encirclement became smaller and smaller, the sound became denser and denser, and the wild grasses and thorns were shaking everywhere. Some wild horses obviously felt something was wrong, so they began to watch around nervously, and even wild horses neighed and reminded their companions nearby.

The horses began to stir up.

Some are heading towards the hillside, some are heading towards the valley, and some are heading towards the river beach to gather and move.

As the movements around became more and more obvious, the wild horses finally discovered the approaching humans, so they became more alert. Some more alert stallions saw that the situation was not good, so they took their wives, concubines and children to run directly to the open river beach.

Although wild horses and humans have always been in peace, this peace is based on the fact that humans cannot win.

Humans are not not hunting wild horses, but they can't run four legs with two legs. The innate speed and endurance are much different, so they will not easily hunt wild horses because the gain is not worth the effort.

But wild horses are large wild animals, and herbivores are basically in danger, so it is impossible for humans not to want to eat them.

I drool when I see it, but I actually want to eat it very much.

If there is really a chance to hunt, humans will never let it go.

Therefore, every year, several wild horses are killed by the Wu people, or are sick or injured, and are eaten by humans after being eaten.

The wild horses began to be in amazement, and the neighing sounds of stallions led by various ethnic groups sounded in the low jungle near the valley.

Groups of wild horses began to run around without any clues to observe the situation.

The hunters participating in this roundup were basically the most elite group of the tribes, so they were not in a hurry. Instead, they continued to shrink the roundup and approached the valley, and they also began to shout loudly to intimidate the wild horses, causing chaos, so that there were more roundup opportunities.

The only thing that many people don’t feel used to is that they are going to catch the living this time, and they carry very few weapons, almost all of them are rope tools such as horse poles, rope ropes, rope nets and tripping ropes.

I have both caught the Hunmaba hunters and a group of Gonghuo Clan captive corps, but this is almost the first time other tribes have been exposed to these things seriously, and I can't help but feel a little nervous and nervous.

"Absolutely!"

The wind was careful to guard Xu Chen, who rode on his horse and slowly approached the valley. When he saw that the horses had begun to clash with no clues, he couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

"Well, call, all groups start to act!"

"Abide by the order!"

Feng clasped his fists excitedly, then raised the horse pole in his hand, Gu Ye held his breath and sounded the horn of the attack.

“Woo~~~”

"Quick Ga, arrange the tripping rope, prepare the rope net, and put the horse pole forward..."

Hearing the sound of the horn, all the groups knew that the horse-catching operation had officially begun. The Ba hunters scattered in various groups to guide the hunting became restless and loudly directed the groups of hunters to find suitable locations to set up tripping ropes nearby, pulling open the rope net to hide. At the same time, some Ba and Wu hunters who have practiced horse traps began to rush up to the wild horse group.

The sudden sound of horns and the large-scale appearance of humans made the panic-willed group even more shocked.

The two ethnic groups have been in peace, so how could humans suddenly attack them?

Don't you know if our legs are long?

Since that's the case, let's compare our foot strength to see who can run faster!

“南~~~”

A majestic stallion led his ethnic group toward the river beach along the route they were used to.

Seeing that there were companions leading the way, the remaining horses began to run towards places with fewer people, trying to break out of the encirclement

Hundreds of wild horses ran and attacked at the same time, and the roaring sound of horse hooves trembled throughout the hillside. Even the hunters holding the horse pole and rope did not dare to be sharp, and they shouted and dodged around.

As a result, there was a flash in the encirclement. Soon two groups of wild horses successfully rushed out of the hunting area and quickly disappeared into the thorny bushes, kicking and stomping away and missing.

However, not all Mustangs have this kind of good luck, and there are no traps to escape.

After all, Xu Chen has invested a lot this time, bringing so many people and a lot of tools, and beating rabbits with a lot of money, he will definitely gain something.

Therefore, the tripping ropes set up by several teams finally came in handy.

Among the thorny bushes, several of the fastest-running wild horses were tripped heavily by the tripping horses.

The huge body was like an out-of-control car on the highway. With a rumbling sound, it fell directly into the bushes of thorns. After rolling and turning, the thorns along the way was so dizzy that before I could get up, I heard a few extremely excited and joyful roars. Then a large group of savages with colorful paints on their faces jumped out, and the rope net lasso was covered with spider webs like spiders.

“Wow, catch gaga!”

Terrifying and shameless laughter from humans rang out in the woods one after another.
