Chapter 923, Training Horses
Sending a chapter first, I am typing, well, Pindao must admit, I celebrate Children’s Day for myself today, and I wasted time watching Kung Fu Panda 3, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
-------------------
After more than ten rounds of rotation, the speed of the dragon horse has dropped to less than one-tenth of its previous speed. Although it still looks fast, it is only the speed of an ordinary horse in reality.
After rushing into the stables, Wei Xiaobei led the group of dragons and horses to turn around slowly twice, before turning around once, he would throw the bait to the center of the stables, causing many dragons and horses to leave the group.
At the end of the two laps, Wei Xiaobei threw all the last bait to the center.
At this time, the group of dragons and horses immediately disintegrated and dispersed into a group of small horses, scrambling to the center, vying for the sweet bait.
Wei Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief at this time, quietly left the stables, found Zhao Tong, and asked him to bring in the harvested kelp, seaweed, sea vegetables and other underwater plants, so that they could be fed to the dragon horse.
If you want to say what this dragon horse likes to eat, it should be seaweed or something.
Although Wei Xiaobei has never trained horses, he also knows that if he wants to attract animals and do something, food is undoubtedly the best bait.
Then the soldiers got busy.
To say that this fishing camp is squatting here every day, there are almost hundreds of ships, large and small. In addition to catching a lot of sea fish every day, there are also kelp, sea vegetables and so on.
Sea fish and kelp sell well when shipped back, but sea vegetables and seaweed are not.
Zhao Tong was already having a headache about this. They harvested kelp with a special tool, like claws. When they were thrown down, the boat dragged forward. When they encountered kelp or something, they would be caught by the claws and pulled up.
This method is more trouble-free, and does not require soldiers to dive down to get busy.
But this method is easy to bring sea vegetables, seaweed and so on. Before, there were too many in the fishing camp.
Now when Wei Xiaobei said that feeding these things to the horses, although he didn't know if it was reliable or not, he happily ordered them to go on.
After the bait was eaten, those dragons and horses seemed a little impatient with the unfamiliar new environment. Many dragons and horses gathered together, hooved from time to time, opened their nostrils, and exhaled. This was not only a little tired, but also
More is the anxiety about the outside world.
A horse is an extremely sensitive animal, easily affected and frightened by strange things in the outside world, and this dragon horse is the same.
When they came here, they felt the temperature different from that of the bottom of the sea, surrounded by rows of fishbone walls surrounding them, and the human soldiers in the distance, which gave them a sense of fear.
Wei Xiaobei knew that if this situation was allowed to continue, these dragons and horses would riot soon.
A large number of seaweed and other plants were transported by the soldiers, and then put into the dragon horse.
Longma's attention was immediately attracted by these seaweeds. After a long journey, they were already hungry, and the little bait that Wei Xiaobei put in could not satisfy them at all.
After swallowing the food in big mouthfuls, the dragon horses' mood gradually improved a little.
After Wei Xiaobei temporarily entrusted Longma to Zhao Tong, he quickly returned to Zhao Yun's camp.
Undoubtedly, the problem now is to bring Baima Yicong over as soon as possible and completely subdue Longma.
Wei Xiaobei was extremely fast, crossing the desert, and soon returned to the camp.
Zhao Yun was somewhat taken aback by the news Wei Xiaobei brought back.
To be honest, Zhao Yun never imagined that Wei Xiaobei completed the task so quickly, and he was still a famous dragon horse.
"Then let's go and see."
Zhao Yunnai is a general galloping on the battlefield. His love for horses is like that of a man who plays with cars in reality. Now that Wei Xiaobei has caught a group of dragon horses, it feels as if someone suddenly notified that the 4S store has newly arrived with several limited-edition world cars. It feels like a top luxury car.
At this time, Zhao Yun didn't work anymore, and walked out of the central army tent first.
When the commander travels, Bai Ma Yicong, as a personal soldier, will naturally accompany him.
Wei Xiaobei hastily sent out a signal.
Before Zhao Yun arrived at the camp gate on horseback, Bai Ma Yicong, who was training outside the camp, lined up outside the camp gate like a whirlwind.
The only thing that makes people feel a little inconsistent is that Baima Yicong has two people and one horse, two big men squeezed on the horseback, or a large group, which really makes people feel weird.
"Set off!"
At Zhao Yun's order, he rode his white dragon horse to the front. Wei Xiaobei had already released the black and white dragon horse from the gun and rode on it. As soon as Zhao Yun charged, Wei Xiaobei followed closely behind. Afterwards, those white horse followers formed a fan and followed behind.
Although there are only more than 200 horses now, when they ran, they ran like a thousand horses. After rushing into the desert, the hooves of the horses were stirring and the dust was flying. From a distance, it was a long smoke dragon keep extending.
If it wasn't for the fact that the sun in the sky looked gray and didn't set much, this would really fit a sentence.
The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river.
Where the horse team passed by, the hidden creatures in the sand avoided one after another. Although they were the main creatures in this desert, they could feel the threat brought by the horse team.
"Slow! Dismount all."
Just as he was about to leave the desert, Zhao Yun thought of something. With one stroke of his right hand, Bai Ma Yicong slowed down, dismounted, and led the horse along.
Wei Xiaobei also understood.
That dragon horse was timid in the first place, if so many horses rushed over, the dragon horse trapped in the stables might be blown up.
Wei Xiaobei didn't believe that those fences made of fish bones could stop the dragons and horses.
However, Zhao Yun's thinking was somewhat different from Wei Xiaobei's, he was thinking about the most fundamental problem.
If the horse blows up the group, rush out and get hurt, it will be a big loss.
Well, regardless of the difference between Wei Xiaobei and Zhao Yun's thoughts, it didn't take long for this group of people to arrive in front of the stables.
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up a little when he saw the dragon horse who was gnawing seaweed in the stable and snorting from time to time. Of course, the eyes of the white horse Yicong who followed behind him were even brighter.
In ancient times, a horse was equivalent to a car, and a good horse was equivalent to a luxury car.
In the eyes of these horse-addicted guys, Longma, a top-notch horse that transcends ordinary horses, is simply a treasure bestowed by heaven.
A good horse is worth a thousand dollars!
If this dragon horse is sold in the market, it is estimated that it will cost ten thousand gold, one hundred thousand gold or even more than one million gold.
Seemingly feeling the threat from those dragon horses, the white dragon horse held behind by Zhao Yun snorted dissatisfiedly, paved its hooves on the sand, and put its huge head directly on Zhao Yun's shoulder, rubbing against Zhao Yun desperately. s face.
Well, seeing this scene, Wei Xiaobei originally planned to recommend the best dragon horse there to his elder brother, so he couldn't say any more at this time.
To say that this white dragon horse is not ordinary, its incomparable steed is extremely miraculous, and Wei Xiaobei had really envied it for a long time.
But having said that, even Wei Xiaobei used Bowen Tongdao to check the attributes of this white dragon horse before, but he couldn't see anything, its introduction was a row of question marks.
But no matter what, Wei Xiaobei had been in contact with him for a long time, and he could feel the extraordinary aura emanating from his body.
And this kind of breath seems to be better than those dragons and horses.
Of course, this time is not the time to discuss the origin of the white dragon.
Zhao Yun personally sat in the town, while the white horse righteous servants entered the passage and entered the stables one by one, trying to contact these dragon horses.
Needless to say, the process of training a horse requires a trusting relationship between man and horse.
Therefore, these white horses did not get close to these dragon horses immediately after entering the stables. In that case, those timid and sensitive dragon horses would probably explode in an instant.
After several hours of adaptation, those dragon horses were no longer so frightened by Baima Yicong who appeared near them, and even approached Baima Yicong from time to time, gnawing seaweed from their hands.
This is a relatively good start.
At least, Ryoma has become more acceptable to these humans appearing around him.
The only ones that are more sensitive are those mares with foals. Whenever the white horse Yicong wants to get close, they will fly a hoof, and even a few white horse Yicong who were caught off guard were kicked and injured.
At this time, Wei Xiaobei also counted the situation of the dragons and horses.
The total number of dragon horses is 1,621, of which there are 452 adult stallions, 650 adult mares, and 519 juvenile ponies.
It has to be said that this dragon horse is well-raised, there are more than 1,600 dragon horses, and there are only so many foals.
However, this also made the Baima followers scratch their heads.
You must know that this war horse usually chooses a stallion.
In order to ensure the docileness and discipline of the horses, the horses are all castrated to prevent the horses from going into heat and affecting the battle.
Bai Mayi removed Wei Xiaobei from the total number, there were 481 people.
If all male horses are chosen, then the number of male horses is not enough at all, and some mares are needed to supplement them.
But it is also impossible to castrate all male horses as war horses, and it is necessary to keep a few stallions.
In this way, the stallion needs to be selected carefully.
If the remaining stallions are not good, the dragon horses born later will not be good either, wasting this resource in vain.
In any case, this kind of thing is the responsibility of Baima Yicong, who is the most proficient in horse hunting.
If we let Wei Xiaobei judge that the male horse is the strongest, that's okay, but the strongest horse can't give birth to a good foal, maybe a lesser male horse can give birth to a better foal. .
This requires eyesight to judge.
It has to be said that these Baima Yicong worked hard to subdue the dragon horse.
Since they entered the stable, they have never left the stable, and they eat, sleep and live in it.
You know, the dragon horse is also eating and pulling in it, and after a while, there is a strong smell in the stable, and it is not so comfortable to live in it. (To be continued.)
