Chapter 97 Wild Horse (Part 1)

The heavy snow stopped for a whole day and night. After the snow stopped, Ning Yuan began to clear the snow in the camp. When several clan soldiers opened the gate of the camp and prepared to push the snow out, they suddenly froze. Then came the inexplicable ecstasy.

“Lord, lord, come and see, the white horse… the white horse, the horse group has appeared.”

After seeing the wild horses rolling in the snow beside the small river in the distance, the soldiers shouted in excitement.

After hearing the words Ma Qun, Ning Yuan immediately rushed out of the camp, and then he saw a scene that made him dream.

Hundreds of wild horses are chasing and playing in the snow. They are not afraid of the cold of winter at all, and even some half-sized foals are still rolling excitedly on the snow.

I counted roughly with my eyes, there are about 320 wild horses, but because many wild horses are chasing and running, this number is not very accurate, and there will be great fluctuations up and down.

After seeing the horses, Ning Yuan did not rush to start the capture operation, but quietly observed it from a distance.

Through observation, Ning Yuan found that this wild horse herd is composed of more than a dozen small horse herds. They seem to have their own social status and social circle. Many horses are neither too far away nor too close, and they are very graded. The strictness.

Among the more than 300 wild horses, most of them are white, a small part are gray, and some are brown.

The white horses are all very good looking horses, their muscles are bulging, and they look full of strength.

The golden mane and horse tail swayed in the wind. They looked so free and easy and full of wild charm. Ning Yuan, who was watching from afar, watched carefully and thumped and thumped. He loved these white horses to death.

No wonder people always use Prince Charming to describe the ideal young men in the minds of young women. Looking at the shape of these white horses, can men not get any points when riding on them?

Although the gray wild horses are similar in size to the white horses, they are obviously more immature, while the brown wild horses look like baby horses, after all, their size is too small.

After careful observation, Ning Yuan discovered that although gray wild horses like to play around, their status in the herd is not very high, and they only play with the gray wild horses.

As for the brown-yellow ponies, they can’t leave a few white horses, and those white horses look like their parents.

Seeing this, Ning Yuan suddenly realized, and suddenly understood.

In nature, there are some animals whose cubs are born with a different color of hair on their bodies.

In fact, this is a kind of protective color, which allows the animal cubs to blend into the surrounding environment, thereby avoiding some carnivores attack. When the cubs gradually mature, they will take off this protective color and become more follow-up. The parents are exactly the same.

Ning Yuan remembered that he once watched a documentary in which when the baby seal was born, his whole body except his eyes was white.The baby seals will stay alone on the ice when the seal mother goes out to hunt. Looking from a distance, you will find that there is only a piece of white snow and nothing.

You simply can’t find the little seals that are still, because the snow-white coat on them allows them to naturally blend into the surrounding ice and snow.

So although there are three wild horses of different colors in the horse herd, in fact, they should all be white horses.

The reason why baby horses are brown when they are first born should also be a protective color, because when they are born, here is still summer, brown can better integrate them into the surrounding environment.

And as they grow up and have a good running ability, it is difficult for predators to threaten their lives.

At this time, they will slowly retreat from the brown coat, and the color of their hair will be closer to their own parents, that is, the gray wild horses in the horse herd.

When they become adults, gray will become white, and they will become true white horses. (Do not accept doubts, you can search for marsh wild horses if you don’t know, Camargue marshes in France, of course, the author just used it for reference.)

After understanding all this, Ning Yuan’s expectations for these white horses were even higher. Thinking of the cavalry regiment under his hands that would all ride white horses, Ning Yuan’s heart became more and more fiery.

But such a large group of white horses can’t be caught by trying to catch them.

Although Ning Yuan had already made a large number of horse-riding ropes and horse-riding poles in advance, and had been practicing for a long time.

But because there are no horses in the Shenying Tribe, the objects they practice are only some bison and wild deer, so when facing a real wild horse herd, Ning Yuan actually has no bottom in his heart.

With so many wild horses, it is definitely impossible to entangle all of them one by one, so if you want to take down all the wild horses, you must find the horse king in the wild horse group.

Horses are a kind of amazing animals. They live in groups and have a strong social character.

The male stallion leader owns his own harem, and they are very possessive, and they are absolutely not allowed to interfere with the own concubines.

However, they will not refuse the existence of other stallions in the horse herd, so the stallion that can become the king of horses is often the most majestic, powerful, and domineering stallion in the wild horse herd.

The horse king has absolute control over all wild horses in the wild horse herd.

It eats the freshest piece of grass, and other wild horses have to wait for it to drink. It is the emperor of the entire group of horses, and no one dares to challenge its authority easily.

After careful observation for most of the day, Ning Yuan found several candidate horse kings that fit this trait.

Why are they called Alternate Horse Kings?

Mainly because Ning Yuan discovered that they all belonged to their own harem, and other wild horses were very afraid of them.

Ning Yuan guessed that this might be a group of wild horses.

The so-called gang nature is that a group of stallions defeated other stallion leaders through collective force and snatched their mare harem.

When the stallions reach adulthood, they will leave their own parents to roam outside, and they will form a stallion group with other newly grown stallions.

After forming the stallion group, they will wander around and keep gathering some female wild horses they encounter.

When they encounter a large herd of horses, they may challenge some old stallion leaders. As long as they can win, the old stallion leader will be expelled from the herd and the winner will become a new one. The leader of the horse herd and receive all the harems of the old leader.

At this time, the other stallions of the stallion group will continue to follow the own leader, and as the horse group continues to grow, they will slowly acquire the own mare harem.

After all, there is only one stallion leader. No matter how strong it is, there will always be a limit. So when the stallion leader’s harem reaches the upper limit, opportunities for other stallions will come.

This should be the case with the white horses in front of him, so Ning Yuan must find the real horse king. Only when the horse king is caught, other wild horses will bow their heads obediently, otherwise they will continue to follow the horse king’s footsteps everywhere. Wandering.

Soon, Ning Yuan locked onto a target. It was a sturdy big stallion. The white fur was shining silver under the sunlight, and the golden mane was dancing with the wind, bringing its unruly and madness. The wild set off vividly.

Of course, the most important thing is that it has a big harem. All the white horses are instinctively afraid of it. Wherever it passes, the white horses show a surrender attitude.

After locking the horse king, Ning Yuan quietly approached with a small team of horse riders.

The White Horses also quickly spotted Ning Yuan and his group, but looking at their expressions, it was obvious that they had never seen a human being, so they did not show any emotion of fear, but looked at Ning Yuan and them curiously.

Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, the horses did not choose to escape, Ning Yuan finally let go of his tightly hanging heart. In order to prevent the horses from becoming hostile, he let people throw all their weapons on the ground, holding only a sleeve in his hand. Suo approached the horse king cautiously.

Eighty meters, sixty meters, and fifty meters.

When he reached a distance of only fifty meters from the wild horses, Ning Yuan waved to make everyone stop, and all sat on the snow, quietly watching the wild horses.

After sitting for ten minutes, he walked forward ten meters cautiously with someone, and then sat down again.

Ten minutes later, Ning Yuan went forward ten meters again.

At this time, the wild horses began to become vigilant. The mares and ponies retreated into the horses, while the stallion leader slapped his nose while planing the ground with his horse’s hooves, warning Ning Yuan and his group.

The distance of thirty meters was already very close, so after seeing King Ma began to be hostile to his group, Ning Yuan quietly ordered his horsemen to charge together at his command, and everyone’s goal was King Ma.

“rush.”

Ning Yuan let out a low growl and rushed directly to Ma Wang.

“Seriously.”

Seeing that someone dared to provoke his own authority, Ma Wang suddenly became angry. While he roared, he rushed towards Ning Yuan.

“Damn, everyone pay attention to dodge.”

Seeing King Ma rushing over, Ning Yuan was shocked.

King Ma’s reaction was completely different from what Ning Yuan had expected. In his expectation, seeing them rushing over, King Ma should start to escape with the horses, and then they took the opportunity to lasso King Horse with a sling.

But what’s the situation now, this horse king actually took the initiative to launch an attack, it is too wild.

Fortunately, only ten people came over this time, and the horse king and one horse rushed over from the wild horse group. The other wild horses were in a wait-and-see state. It seemed that they had absolute confidence in the leader of own.

King Ma accelerated to Ning Yuan’s front, and then he directly raised his front hoof and stepped on towards Ning Yuan.

“Damn it.”

Seeing the rapidly growing horseshoe, Ning Yuan came directly to a lazy donkey to roll around, avoiding the attack of the horse king.

Although he escaped the attack in time, the danger has not been relieved. When he just got up, the next attack of King Ma came immediately.

This time, King Horse didn’t use a trampling attack, but opened his mouth wide and bit towards Ning Yuan fiercely.

Seeing the big white teeth exposed in King Ma’s mouth, Ning Yuan had no choice but to continue rolling on the snow to avoid Ma King’s attack.

When a wild horse attacks an enemy, there are generally three tricks: trampling on the front hoof, trampling on the rear hoof, and biting on the horse’s mouth.

At this time, the horse king only used the front hoof to trample and the horse’s mouth bite to force Ning Yuan into a panic, constantly rolling on the snow.

Now let alone the arrest of the King of Horses, if no one supports him, without weapons, Ning Yuan would probably be tortured to death by the King of White Horses, because facing the powerful attack of the King of White Horses, he would never There is no chance to fight back.

Fortunately, this time he did not come alone, he also brought a small group of Condor Warriors. Although Ning Yuan ordered everyone to throw away their weapons just now, the soldiers still had nooses in their hands.

Although Ning Yuan himself was threatened by the White Horse King, he won a precious opportunity for the other fighters of the Tao Ma squad.

Seeing that the lord own had attracted the white horse king, the other members of the horse squad threw the lasso in their hands to the white horse king.
