Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Three of the dozen or so lasso hit the target directly, and they were put on King Charming's neck.

After successfully trapping the white king horse, the soldiers immediately pulled the noose tightly to restrict the white king horse's movement.

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

"Okay, let go, I'll leave the rest to me, remember, stay away from the wild horses for a while, and be careful not to be trampled on."

After successfully riding on King Charming's back, Ning Yuan hugged the horse's neck tightly while commanding his soldiers.

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

The so-called stewing is to let the wild horse run and kick back at will, releasing the wildness and energy of the wild horse. When the wild horse is exhausted, it will obey the rider on the horseback.

As the soldiers let go, King Charming immediately went crazy. While running, he kicked his feet constantly, trying to throw Ning Yuan away from the horse.

Although Ning Yuan has ridden horses in the real world, the horses he rides are all gentle old horses, and they all wear saddles. It is the first time for him to ride a wild horse with a strong temperament like King White Horse.

So even though he had some horse riding experience, he was still dizzy by the King of the White Horse. If he hadn't hugged the horse's neck desperately, he would have been thrown away by the King of the White Horse long ago.

Seeing that the kick was not working well, the King of White Horse started galloping on the snow, trying to knock Ning Yuan down through his speed.

It didn't matter if it ran, the whole horse herd immediately ran along with it, and the dozen or so Condor warriors hiding aside could only watch helplessly as their lord was taken away by the horse herd.

Although they were very unwilling, they had to stop after chasing for a few minutes.

Originally, those with two legs could not run as fast as those with four legs. In addition, there was still a layer of snow on the prairie, with one foot shallow and one foot deep. They had difficulty running every step. Before they ran a hundred meters, there was Several people fell down, and finally could only lie on the grass and watch the horses gradually disappear.

Looking at Ning Yuan again, I saw his arms tightly around the horse's neck, his legs clamped tightly around the horse's belly, just like a piece of dog skin plaster, firmly stuck to the horse's back, no matter how the King Charming ran or jumped Don't drop him.

At this time, Ning Yuan couldn't care about anything else, he was now only hoping that King Charming's physical strength would be exhausted as soon as possible, and then he would bring the horses back to the camp as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, things turned out to be contrary to expectations. King Charming 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 even know he was tired.

This time it was hard for Ning Yuan, he felt that his body was about to fall apart, and his body hurt everywhere, but at this time he had no choice but to rely on willpower and the white king horse to continue to work hard. go down.

The desire for cavalry made Ning Yuan reluctant to take a heavy hand on the white king horse, otherwise, with his strength, even if he had no weapons in his hands now, he could still smash the white king horse under him to death with his fists.

It's a pity that his mind is full of cavalry now. He would rather continue to endure the risk of being blown away than to waste all his previous efforts. Although there are still 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 on the grassland with the wild horses.

Along the way, he saw a lot of wild sheep, wild cattle, wild wolves, and even other wild horses, but these had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have the energy to deal with them now.

He didn't know how long he had been running, but Ning Yuan suddenly felt that the wind in his ears had become less harsh.

He looked up and around, and found that the speed of the wild horses had gradually slowed down, and the white horse king under him was finally tired.

Glancing at the white king horse who kept panting heavily, Ning Yuan thought for a moment, then slowly loosened his arms holding the horse's neck, and then slowly straightened up.

Although he temporarily let go of the horse's neck, his hands are still tightly grasping the noose. As long as the White Horse King makes any changes, he will definitely hug the horse's neck again as soon as possible.

Maybe King Charming was really tired. Although he could clearly feel that the obstruction on his neck had disappeared, he didn't take any action, just stood there quietly panting.

Seeing that the white king horse didn't behave abnormally, Ning Yuan became more courageous. He first stroked the white king horse's mane gently with one hand, and then began to tickle it.

Seeing that the White Horse King didn't look disgusted, Ning Yuan patted the horse's buttocks lightly, and then clamped his legs around the horse's belly, which meant to let the White Horse King go forward.

As if he understood Ning Yuan's body language, King Charming walked forward in small steps while sneezing. It looked like he was completely convinced by Ning Yuan on horseback.

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

Estimated that the physical strength of the horses had almost recovered, Ning Yuan rode the white king horse and started to return the same way.

Although it is now surrounded by white grassland, Ning Yuan can't tell the difference between southeast and north, but fortunately, there is snow everywhere on the grassland, and the traces of the place where the wild horses just ran are very obvious, otherwise he might not be able to find the place where he returned. 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 appropriate, it should be called White Horse City."

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

"Open the gate of the camp, everyone stand far away from me, don't disturb my precious horses."

Seeing the Condor Warrior coming towards him, Ning Yuan immediately shouted loudly.

Seeing Ning Yuan's return, the Condor fighters who were excited to greet them immediately slammed on the brakes in embarrassment after hearing Ning Yuan's call.

But they were very happy to see that Ning Yuan was fine and successfully brought back the wild horses, so let's stand farther away.

After the soldiers withdrew a certain distance, Ning Yuan tried to drive King Charming to bring the wild horses into the camp.

Although the White Horse King instinctively disliked the giant "wooden cage" in front of him, it has now been subdued by Ning Yuan, so despite being somewhat distasteful, under Ning Yuan's order, it still brought the entire herd of wild horses into the cage. In the camp.

In addition to the residential area for the soldiers 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 has been opened, and Ning Yuan directly rode the white king horse and led the horses into the stable area.

The entire stable was close to the wooden city wall, 800 meters long and 50 meters wide, more than enough to accommodate the entire herd of wild horses.

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

Ning Yuan has only initially tamed the White King Horse now, and it will take some time to completely tame the entire wild horse herd, so in order to appease these wild horses, Ning Yuan took out precious apples to bribe these ancestors.

His purpose is very simple, it is to let these wild horses feel the treatment of honored guests, and his so-called guest treatment is to provide delicious food and drink, so that these wild horses can eat and live comfortably.

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

These apples were originally used to improve food for the soldiers, but now no one wants to eat them anymore, they have all contributed to the wild horses. Ning Yuan wants to use these apples to cultivate feelings with the wild horses.

Although the living place is very simple and not as vast as the field, at least there is a wooden shed roof, which can reduce the cold wind for the horses at night.

In order for the wild horses to accept the eagle fighters 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, under the temptation of delicious food, they finally took the initiative He stepped forward and ate the apple in the soldier's hand.

Of course, this is only the first step. In order not to let the wild horses feel that they have lost their freedom, Ning Yuan rides King White Horse and takes the whole wild horses out for a walk every day. Back to the stable.

In this way, half a month later, the wild horses gradually accepted the situation of living under one 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 their horses when they were riding horses, and cavalrymen could not ride horses to fight. It can be said that the invention of saddles and bridles allowed cavalry to mount In the arena of war, there would be no cavalry without saddles and bridles.

Although Ning Yuan doesn't care much about other technologies that can be learned by himself, he still puts a lot of effort into saddles and bridles.

Although the Condor Tribe did not discover horses before, this did not prevent Ningyuan from developing saddles and bridles.

It's very simple, there are no live war horses, Ning Yuan can get some clay and wooden war horse models, and then use these models to develop saddles and bridles.

He only needs to remember the general shape and function, and then describe these contents through graphics, and the craftsmen in the tribe will naturally develop according to his description.

After several improvements, the first set of qualified saddles and bridles was developed. Of course, the set of saddles developed by the Condor Tribe has stirrups, and cavalry without stirrups is incomplete.

After putting on the harness for King White Horse, Ning Yuan felt much more comfortable riding again, and after having King White Horse as an example, other stallions were also put on harness one by one, and now they have begun to accept some Condor Warriors of riding.

As for why only harnesses are installed on stallions?

The main reason is that Ningyuan found that many mares are pregnant, not to mention that they dare not install harnesses for them, even when riding Ningyuan, they refuse to let people ride them, no matter whether they are pregnant or not, as long as they are mares Riding, for fear of accidentally giving them a miscarriage.

The average height of these prairie white horses is about 1.5 meters to 1.55 meters. The male horses are slightly taller than the mares. They are strong in physique, with excellent speed and endurance. They are excellent cavalry war horses.

There are 355 wild horses in the whole herd, including 29 adult males, 163 adult mares, 77 near-adult males, 30 mares, 26 juvenile males and 30 mares.

It can be said that this is a large herd of wild horses that are full of yin and yang.

Why do you say that? The main reason is that there are actually only 29 male horses that dominate the wild horse herd, and the 163 mares are the harem of these male horses, and the wild horses that are close to adulthood or underage are their descendants.

Those offspring will leave their parents to find their own horse herd after they grow up, so the fixed members of this wild horse herd are only those 29 male horses and 163 mares.

In order to ensure that the horse herd can continue to reproduce, the 29 male horses and 163 wild horses Ning Yuan cannot move, so he turned his idea to the 77 male wild horses that are close to adulthood.

These wild horses are already about the same size as their parents. I believe that within a few months, they will be fully grown, that is, sexually mature. It is best to use them as war horses.

So Ningyuan specially arranged for 77 human warriors to approach them and cultivate feelings with them.

After the horses were selected, Ning Yuan faced a new problem, which was whether to castrate these male horses.

As we all know, most of the war horses used in ancient China were gelding horses.

Male horses are irritable and aggressive. During the estrus period, they will be more irritable and aggressive. Therefore, in order to prevent these male horses from affecting the battle, the ancients castrated them.

Castrated horses have a more stable and quiet personality, and will be more obedient to the command of the cavalry.

It can be said that both war horses have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The male horses are more aggressive. They can actively help their masters to attack the enemy in battle. Thinking about Ning Yuan's distressed appearance before, you will know how aggressive the male horses are.

Although male horses are very aggressive, their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, to completely tame them, knights must start raising them from an early age. They only obey their emotional masters, and others cannot.

However, geldings are different, because after castration, their temperaments are very quiet and stable, so anyone can easily ride them, and there is no need to cultivate emotions from childhood.

In ancient cavalry wars, the loss of war horses was also very large, so compared with male horses, gelding horses were easier to be replenished.

Ning Yuan is a fighting maniac. He prefers the hearty fighting feeling, so after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to use a stallion as a war horse.

Although there was a Li Guangbi in ancient China who had successfully used a mare's beauty trick, he still didn't believe in this evil. How could a real knight ride a gelding? He couldn't afford to lose this man.

Besides, what can the stallion do if it is in heat? At worst, it will find two wives for it, so that they can pass on their excellent genes.

As for the thirty mares, Ning Yuan plans to use them to seduce other stallions to grow his own horse herd. He even plans to capture the entire prairie after the beginning of spring and turn it into his back garden for raising horses. .
