Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 99 Mustang (Part 2)

Three of the dozen or so lassos directly hit the target and wrapped them around the white horse king’s neck.

After successfully lassoing the White Horse Queen, the soldiers immediately pulled the lasso tightly to restrict the White Horse’s movement.

Seeing that the soldiers successfully trapped the White Horse King and restricted its mobility, Ning Yuan immediately got up from the snow, then rushed over from the side, and jumped onto the horse’s back.

“Okay, let go, leave the following to me, remember, stay away from the wild horses for a while, and be careful not to be trampled on.”

After successfully riding on the white horse king’s back, Ning Yuan hugged the horse’s neck tightly while instructing the soldiers under him.

Although the White Horse King has been successfully trapped, this is only the beginning. Next, Ning Yuan will have to survive the most important stage of horse training, which is to boil the horse and compete with the White Horse King for physical strength and willpower.

The so-called boil horse is to let the wild horse run and kick back at will to release the wild horse’s wildness and energy. When the wild horse is exhausted, it will obey the rider on the horseback.

As the soldiers let go, the White Horse King immediately began to go mad. While running, he kept slugging, trying to lift Ning Yuan away on horseback.

Although Ning Yuan had ridden horses in the real world, the horses he rode were old horses with docile temperaments, and they all wore saddles. It was the first time that he rode a wild horse like the White Horse King with strong temperament.

So even though he had some riding experience, he was still dizzy by the White Horse King. Had he not held the horse’s neck desperately, he would have been thrown off by the White Horse King.

Seeing that Xi Jianzi was not working well, the White Horse King began to gallop on the snowy ground, trying to push Ning Yuan down by speed.

It didn’t matter what it ran, the entire horse group immediately ran with it, and the dozen or so condor warriors hiding by the side could only watch Lord Own being taken away by the horse group.

Although they were not reconciled, they had to stop after a few minutes of chasing.

Originally, two-legged people can’t run on four-legged ones. In addition, there is a layer of snow on the grassland, one shallow foot and one deep foot. They have trouble running every step. Before they can run a hundred meters, they have Several people fell down, and in the end they could only lie on the grass and watch the horses gradually disappear.

Looking at Ning Yuan again, I saw that his arms were tightly around the horse’s neck, his legs clamped the horse’s abdomen, just like a piece of dog skin plaster, firmly attached to the horse’s back, no matter how the White Horse King ran or jumped. Don’t lose him.

At this time, Ning Yuan couldn’t take care of the others. He was now hoping for the White Horse King’s physical strength to be exhausted earlier, and then he took the horses back to the camp a little earlier.

Unfortunately, things were counterproductive. The King of White Horse seemed to have endless physical strength. After running at high speed for more than half an hour, he was still so energetic that he didn’t know he was tired.

Ning Yuan was suffering now. He felt that his body was about to fall apart, and his whole body hurt everywhere, but at this time he had no other choice but to rely on willpower and the white horse to continue to consume it. .

The desire for cavalry made Ning Yuan reluctant to attack the White King Horse. Otherwise, with his strength, even without a weapon in his hand, he could use his fist to smash the White King Horse alive.

It’s a pity that his mind is full of cavalry now. He would rather continue to bear the risk of being lifted off, and don’t want to give up his previous achievements. Although there are many opportunities in the future, he just doesn’t want to give up this opportunity in front of him.In this way, Ning Yuan kept running along with the wild horses on the grassland.

Along the way, he saw a lot of wild sheep, buffalo herds, wild wolves, and even other wild horse herds, but these had nothing to do with him, and he didn’t have the energy to fight them now.

I don’t know how long I’ve been running, Ning Yuan suddenly felt that the sound of the wind in his ears was no longer so harsh. Finally tired.

Glancing at the White King Horse who was constantly panting, Ning Yuan thought for a moment, slowly loosened his arms around the horse’s neck, and then slowly straightened up.

Although he temporarily loosened the horse’s neck, his hands still held the lasso tightly. As long as the White Horse King changes, he will definitely hug the horse’s neck again in the first time.

Maybe the White Horse King is really tired. Although it can clearly feel that the obstruction on its neck has disappeared, it does not take any action. It just stands quietly and gasps for breath.

Seeing that the White King Horse did nothing unusual, Ning Yuan’s courage grew. He first gently stroked the White King Horse’s mane with one hand, and then began to tickle it.

Seeing that the White Horse King didn’t look disgusted, Ning Yuan gently patted the horse’s ass, and then pinched the horse’s belly with his legs, which meant that the White Horse King would go forward.

As if reading Ning Yuan’s body language, the White Horse King walked forward in small steps while sneezing. Seeing that, he was completely convinced by Ning Yuan on horseback.

In this way, Ning Yuan rode the white king horse on the grassland, and the wild horses followed them closely.

After estimated that the horses’ physical strength was almost restored, Ning Yuan rode the white king horse and started to return.

Although there are white grasslands all around, Ning Yuan can’t tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest. Fortunately, there is snow everywhere on the grasslands. The traces of the place where the wild horses just ran are very obvious, otherwise he might not be able to find it. The way home.

After riding the white king horse on the grassland for two hours, Ning Yuan finally saw the outline of Iron Horse City.

“No, the name Iron Horse City is not very appropriate, it should be called White Horse City.”

Out of love for White Horse, Ning Yuan directly changed Iron Horse City to White Horse City.

“Open the camp door, everyone will stand a little farther away for me, don’t disturb my precious horse herd.”

Seeing the Condor Warrior approaching, Ning Yuan immediately shouted.

Seeing Ning Yuan’s return, the Condor warriors who were eagerly greeted by Ning Yuan’s call immediately slammed the brakes in embarrassment.

But seeing that Ning Yuan was okay, and successfully brought back the wild horses, they were still very happy, so stand a little farther away.

After the soldiers had retreated a certain distance, Ning Yuan tried to drive the White Horse King to bring the wild horses into the camp.

Although the White Horse King instinctively hated the giant “wooden cage” in front of him, it has now been surrendered by Ning Yuan, so even though it was a bit annoying, under Ning Yuan’s order, he still brought the entire wild horse group into it. In the camp.

In addition to the soldier’s residential area and the livestock area for raising cattle and sheep in the camp, there is also a stable area specially prepared for war horses.

At this time, the wooden door of the stable area had been opened, and Ning Yuan directly rode the white king horse and led the horses into the stable area.

The entire stable is close to the wooden city wall, 800 meters long and 50 meters wide, which is more than enough to hold the entire wild horse herd.

After bringing the wild horses into the stable, Ning Yuan directly carried several large frames of apples and a lot of hay, and then filled the wooden manger with warm water.

Ning Yuan has only initially tamed the White King Horses. It will take some time to completely tame the wild horses. Therefore, in order to appease these wild horses, Ning Yuan did not hesitate to take out precious apples to bribe these ancestors.

His purpose is very simple, is to let these wild horses feel the treatment of the guests, and his so-called treatment of the guests is to provide delicious food, to make these wild horses comfortable to eat and live comfortably.

In winter, the main food of the wild horses is the hay rhizomes on the grassland. Although there are a lot of these things in Baima City, they are no different from the outside, so Ning Yuan can only reluctantly send the Shenying City to the city. The apples were requisitioned.

These apples were originally for the soldiers to improve their food. Now no one wants to eat anymore. They have all contributed to the wild horses. Ning Yuan wants to use these apples to cultivate affection with the wild horses.

Although the place to live is very simple and not as vast as the wild, it has a wooden roof that can reduce the damage of the horses from the cold wind at night.

In order for the wild horses to accept the condor warriors as soon as possible, Ning Yuan asked the soldiers to take turns to feed the wild horses with apples cut into small pieces. Although the wild horses hesitated at first, they eventually took the initiative under the temptation of delicious food. Stepped forward and ate the apple in the soldier’s hand.

Of course, this is only the first step. In order to prevent the wild horses from feeling that they have lost their freedom, Ning Yuan rides the white horse king and takes the entire wild horses out for a walk every day. After they are crazy enough, he takes them again. Back to the stable.

In this way, after half a month passed, the wild horses gradually accepted the situation of living under the same roof with humans, and Ning Yuan finally succeeded in installing the saddle and bridle on the white king horse.

Without saddles and bridles, people would easily fall off the backs of horses when riding horses, and cavalry would not be able to ride war horses to fight. It can be said that the invention of saddles and bridles allowed the cavalry to board. On the stage of war, there would be no cavalry without saddles and bridles.

Although Ning Yuan didn’t care much about other technologies that could be taught by himself, he still worked hard on the saddle and bridle.

Although the Shenying Tribe did not find horses before, this did not prevent Ning Yuan from developing saddles and bridles.

It’s very simple. There is no living war horse. Ning Yuan can let people make some mud and wooden war horse models, and then use these models to develop saddles and bridles.

He only needs to remember the approximate shapes and functions, and then describe these contents through graphics, and the artisans in the tribe will naturally develop them according to his description.

After several improvements, the first qualified saddle and bridle were developed. Of course, the saddle developed by the Condor tribe is equipped with stirrups. Cavalry without stirrups is incomplete.

After putting the White Horse King on the harness, Ning Yuan would be more comfortable riding again. With the example of the White Horse King, the other stallions were also mounted on the harness one by one. Now they have begun to accept some condor warriors. Ridden.

As for why only the stallions are equipped with harnesses?

Mainly because Ning Yuan found that many mares are big bellies, let alone not dare to equip them with harnesses, even riding Ning Yuan would not allow people to ride, whether pregnant or not, as long as the mares are not allowed Riding, for fear of accidentally aborting them.The average body height of these grassland white horses is about 1.5 to 1.55 meters. The stallions are slightly taller than the mares. They are physically strong, have excellent speed and endurance, and are excellent cavalry horses.

There are 355 wild horses in the entire wild horse group, including 29 adult stallions, 163 adult mares, 77 near-adult stallions, 30 mares, 26 juvenile stallions, and 30 mares.

It can be said that this is a large wild horse herd whose yin is prosperous and the sun is declining.

Why do you say that? The main reason is that there are actually only 29 stallions that dominate this wild horse group. The 163 mares are the harems of these stallions. As for the wild horses that are close to adult or underage, they are their offspring.

Those offspring will leave their parents to look for their own horses when they reach adulthood, so the regular members of this wild horse group are only the 29 stallions and 163 mares.

In order to ensure that the horses can continue to thrive, Ning Yuan can’t move the 29 stallions and 163 wild horses, so he put his idea on the 77 male wild horses that were close to adulthood.

These wild horses are almost the same as their parents in body shape. I believe that within a few months, they will be fully grown-ups, that is, sexually mature. It would be great to use them as war horses.

Therefore, Ning Yuan specially arranged 77 clan fighters to approach them and cultivate feelings with them.

After the selection of the horses, Ning Yuan faced a new problem, that is, whether to castrate these stallions.

As everyone knows, most of the war horses used in ancient China were steers.

Stallions are irritable and aggressive. During the estrus, they will be more irritable and combative. Therefore, in order to prevent these stallions from affecting the fighting, the ancients would cast them off.

The castrated horses are more stable and quiet, and will be more compliant with the command of the cavalry.

It can be said that the two types of horses have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Stallions are more aggressive. They can actively help their masters to attack the enemy in battle. Just think about Ning Yuan’s embarrassed appearance before, and you will know how aggressive the stallions are.

Although the stallions are very aggressive, their shortcomings are equally obvious, that is, to completely tame them, the knights must be raised from an early age. They only obey their sentient masters, and others cannot.

The steers are different. After castration, their temperament is very quiet and stable, so anyone can easily ride them without having to cultivate feelings from an early age.

In ancient cavalry wars, the wear and tear of war horses is also very huge, so compared with stallions, steers can be replenished more easily.

Ning Yuan is a fighting madman, he prefers the kind of hearty fighting feeling, so after thinking for a long time, he finally decided to use a stallion as a war horse.

Although there was a beauty trick by Li Guangbi who successfully used a mare in ancient China, he still doesn’t believe in this evil. How can a real knight ride a steer? I can’t afford to lose this person.

Besides, what can the stallion do when it comes to estrus? If it’s a big deal, I will find two daughters-in-law for him, just to pass on their excellent genes.

As for the thirty mares, Ning Yuan intends to use them to seduce other stallions to strengthen his own horse herd, and even he intends to conquer the entire prairie after the beginning of the spring, turning it into a back garden for his horses.
