Although there is no concept of the right time, place and people at the moment, and the war is not random, at least, the weather and food still need to be considered.

An Mu was also a seasoned veteran, so he naturally knew how to fight. Even if all five thousand young men were assembled, he was not in a hurry to head south.

Because, at this moment, not only do they not have enough food, but the weather is also extremely unfavorable to them.

You know, they don't have tents. When they are in the wild jungle, they can build simple tree houses to keep out the wind and rain. Once they enter the grassland, they will be bedded by the sky and the ground, letting the wind and rain drench them.

Therefore, he didn't dare to bring so many people into the grassland in spring when the temperature was low. He had to wait until summer when the temperature was high.

This is also the reason why Tu Meng only asked him to bring [-] catties of meat, because these people still had a lot of time to hunt for meat.

Next, he ordered Wu, the leader of the Nanjiang Department, to lead these people to start hunting for meat.

These 5000 people are all young and strong, and they are quite powerful in hunting. It can be said that as long as they can hunt prey within a radius of more than ten miles, basically they cannot escape their hunting.

It's a pity that no matter how many prey there are around here, it's still not enough for them to go back and forth for half a year.

You know, there are a total of 5000 of them. Even if one person eats only one catty of meat a day, it will be thirty catties a month, and in half a year, it will be almost two hundred catties, and with 5000 people, that will be one million catties!

In a radius of more than ten miles, how could it be possible to hunt millions of catties of meat.

In desperation, he could only order Wu to take these young men to hunt cattle and sheep on the grassland.

There are cattle and sheep on the prairie, so he knows it. Everyone knows this. However, everyone also knows that there are not only cattle and sheep on the prairie, but also ferocious beasts. It is probably useless to bring five thousand young and strong.

There are tens of thousands of wild wolves on the prairie. Have five thousand young and strong met tens of thousands of hungry wolves?

This, no one has tried it, and no one dares to try it. After all, if the wild wolf is hungry, it will be fatal. Tens of thousands of wild wolves rush over desperately, who can stop it!

Fortunately, Wu Ben, the leader of the Nanjiang Department, is a cautious person. He did not run around on the grassland with five thousand young men. Every time, he ordered a small number of young men to investigate carefully and make sure there was no danger Only then did most of the people go hunting.

In this way, the wild wolves will basically not be able to threaten them, and they will gain a lot. At least, these 5000 people will not be hungry. However, if you want to store millions of catties of meat, then basically is impossible.

They don't have any war horses as mounts. If they only rely on their legs to explore, they can go deep into the grassland forty or fifty miles a day at most. If they go further, they will not be able to return to the tree house in the jungle.

Moreover, even if they encountered a herd of wild cattle, wild sheep, and wild horses, they could only stare blankly, because they couldn't run these animals at all, especially wild horses and wild sheep, and people with less than a thousand pounds of speed and strength couldn't keep up at all.

They only have a chance when they encounter a herd of bison, and they can harvest a few slow-running ones. They dare not surround the herd of bison, because once the bison go crazy, it is quite terrifying. If Wan's bison ran wildly in one direction, even five thousand young and strong would not dare to stop it.

Therefore, they can basically only hunt the scattered bison and wild sheep on the edge of the grassland. They dare not go deep into the grassland to hunt bison and wild sheep.

While they were working hard to prepare for the battle, the Haotian Department was not idle either. Zhao Hao had asked the eighth battalion to mobilize 400 elite cavalry to form a cavalry regiment of more than 2000 people. They were also hunting at this time, because Zhao Hao didn't have much livestock, and he couldn't afford to support the [-] cavalry.

However, what they hunt is different. The bison and wild sheep in the grassland are their targets.

This time, Zhao Hao didn't want to hunt too many cattle and sheep. After all, they were preparing for war, not expanding the number of livestock, so he sent scouts to search around the temporary camp.

The galloping speed of this galloping horse is more than ten times faster than that of a human walking. If scouts search, it is not a problem to find a range of five hundred miles a day. Dozens of scouts are sent out, and the news comes back quickly. Temporarily To the northeast of the camp, there are large herds of bison and wild sheep.

Zhao Haodang set off with more than 2000 cavalry with Ah Hua and Ah Shan.

At this time, it is easy for him to subdue the herd of wild cattle or wild sheep guarded by strange beasts, but this time, he is still not ready to make a move, because he wants to take this opportunity to practice well and at the same time, Make preparations for exploring the grassland in the future.

After all, the grassland is so big, it will take at least a few years for him to lead his cavalry all over the place, and he has no time to waste time on such things, so he is going to let the generals of the battalions lead their own troops To subdue wild herds of buffalo, sheep and horses.

This time, the first wave of hunting was a herd of bison, and Zhao Hao handed over the task to Ahua and her three hundred elite riders of the Godly Battalion.

Ah Hua is also a master with a strength of nearly ten thousand catties now, and the bull monsters are naturally no threat to her. She followed Zhao Hao's example and directly asked her cavalry to surround the surroundings, and then rode alone. The alien horse rushed up.

The bull monster guarding the herd of wild bulls naturally couldn't bear this kind of provocative behavior. Before she could rush to the herd of wild bulls, a huge bull monster rushed towards her with terrifying horns.

A'hua was also unambiguous, and flew up from the horse's back, drew out the long knife, and rushed straight towards the bull monster.

Although the long knife in her hand is not a magical weapon, it is also a carefully crafted thick-backed machete, weighing at least seventy or eighty catties. Even if it is not used for chopping, it is quite powerful for smashing.

This bull monster didn't know the power of the thick-backed machete in A'hua's hand, it only knew to bump into it and kill this guy.

The result can be imagined, A'hua directly raised the thick-backed machete, and slashed at the bull monster's head. Open the scoop!

The next step is to subdue the cattle. The three hundred fine riders rained down arrows, and then slashed and killed them with long knives and spears. Even the wild cattle running wildly were captured by their aura, shrinking into fear. group.

Now, it is so simple for the Haotian Ministry to subdue the bison herd. Thousands of bison were tidied up in less than an hour, and the meat for more than 2000 cavalry for several months was solved in this way. To train soldiers, to enrich the types of meat.

This is the gap. The young and strong tribes subdued by the west wing of the Xueman tribe are desperately hunting for half a year's meat reserves. They may not be ready in a month or two, while the Haotian tribe can hunt in just a few days. To enough meat!

If Tumeng knew that the gap between the two sides was so big, he might not have dared to send troops to retaliate, at least, he would not have dared before he received support.

Unfortunately, he didn't know it at all.

Chapter 161 Why Don't You Go Up?

On the south side of the grassland, about a thousand miles away from the camp of the Haotian Ministry, the army recruited by Xue Man's Ministry was slowly advancing. From a distance, it was a large area of ​​darkness, which looked a bit scary.

However, the situation of the so-called five thousand army is not optimistic, because they are not adapted to the environment on the grassland.

Wu, the leader of the Nanjiang Department, looked at the young and strong man with a tired face behind him, and then at the confident General An Mu in front of him, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

He didn't know exactly how many people the leader had under his command that day, but based on the few hundred strong men he saw, the five thousand young men probably wouldn't be able to do it.

His equipment and his aura are simply not comparable to them.

Alas, I don't know how the leader is going to deal with the five thousand young men that day. I hope he will not be too cruel. You know, out of the five thousand young men, their Nanjiang Department accounts for one thousand.

He secretly sighed in his heart, looked at the small river not far ahead, then quickened his pace, rushed to the back of General An Mu, and respectfully cupped his hands and said: "General, it's getting late now. There is a small river, why don't we rest by this small river today?"

In fact, it was still early, at most four or five o'clock in the afternoon, but for them, it was indeed late.

General An Mu looked at the sky, then looked at the tired young man behind him, nodded helplessly and said: "That's all right, go and tell the leaders of the tribes to rest by the small river in front of you today. "

He can't help it. At this moment, they can walk forty or fifty miles a day, because the [-] army has been marching on the grassland for more than two months, and the dried meat prepared earlier has almost been consumed, so , they have to hunt before they rest every day, or they will be hungry.

Marching on the grassland is really too difficult for the people of the ancient tribes, and they have to face too many difficulties.

For example, food, don't look at the herds of wild cattle, wild sheep and wild horses everywhere on the grassland, the food seems to be abundant, but there is no fastest wild horse as a mount, and there is not enough weapons and equipment to intercept it, it is all fake Yes, they can only hunt those lonely bison and wild sheep.

Fortunately, there were quite a few bison and wild sheep left alone on the grassland. As long as they spread out to look for them, they would always be rewarded. Otherwise, with the little food they brought, they would have starved to death long ago.

Another example is the source of water, which is also a problem. They didn't bring any clay pots to hold water. After all, clay pots are not easy to handle, and they are heavy and difficult to hold after they are filled with water. Even if they had them, they would not bring them with them. Go for a few months or even half a year.

The water sources on the grasslands are relatively concentrated, either rivers or lakes with sufficient water sources, or you can’t find a drop of water after walking for a day. Unlike the wild jungle, where streams are everywhere, they march on the grassland. Don't stop and have a good drink. You don't know when you will have a drink next time.

There is also firewood, which is also a big problem, because there are few trees in the grassland, and they don't know that dried cow dung can be used for barbecue, so in many cases, they can only find some yellow weeds to make fire, beef and mutton. , basically it would be nice to be able to bake half-baked.

In addition, there are sun and rain, mosquito bites and insect bites, which make them miserable.

Therefore, even if they were all young and strong, after more than two months, each of them lost their energy and looked tired.
