136 There is something wrong with this map
At the junction of grassland and wild jungle, about three days' journey east of Yanbu, Zhao Hao led more than a thousand cavalry to camp and process the harvest of wild wolves.
The members of the Black Stone Tribe and the Salt Tribe were very excited, because the leader of the sky said that each person could share two kilograms of exotic animal bones and meat, the meat of five wolves, and five wolf skins. This winter, they basically did not have to fight for
They had to kill cows and sheep to eat, which saved them a lot of money. Moreover, the wolf skins each person received could be used to make at least two sets of coats, so they basically had something to keep warm in winter.
Zhao Hao frowned slightly as he looked at his men who were so cheerful and strong.
This time, there were not many injured spirits, and being bitten on the leg by a wolf was not a big deal. These spirits reacted very quickly. The wild wolf would almost knock him over as soon as it bit him. Therefore, most of the injured spirits were just
There are just two rows of not very deep dental cavities on my legs. They don’t hurt my muscles and bones at all. I just need to apply some herbal medicine to prevent inflammation.
The problem is, there are too many injured war horses this time. Moreover, the reaction speed of war horses is not as fast as that of cavalry. Many war horses are bitten to the point of limping and cannot carry people on their backs. They must be sent back to be replaced.
Just fine.
This trip will take at least another three or four days.
You know, he doesn't have much time now. In four days, he explored an area less than a thousand miles to the east. The east is as wide as the west. By the time they return, winter will probably be here.
It would be basically impossible for him to explore the grassland completely this year.
This matter is really troublesome.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to let Ashan take his men to send back the injured horses and most of the smoked wolf meat, and then bring a new batch of horses over, while he took the remaining three teams of people.
Continue exploring east.
Going east for another two days, they basically saw only grassland and no cattle, sheep or horses.
It seems that the range of activities of this group of wild wolves is quite large. Basically, they have almost wiped out all the animals within a radius of more than a thousand miles.
Fortunately, after passing through this vacuum area, they encountered bison herds, wild sheep herds, and wild horse herds. Moreover, the frequency of encounters was quite high. Basically, they encountered a herd every day.
After four or five days of this, Zhao Hao had a headache again, because he had sent back the fifth team of cavalry to the fourth team, and the remaining team had to look after a large group of newly conquered wild sheep.
If we send this team back, wouldn't he become the bare commander?
In desperation, he had to order the last group of cavalry to find a water source, set up camp, and wait for the other four groups of cavalry to turn around.
This waiting always makes people feel anxious. Early the next morning, Zhao Hao couldn't help but go to the edge of the camp and look west.
Originally, he wanted to see if the four teams of cavalry sent back had turned around, but looking at the endless grassland, he suddenly thought of a question.
How big is this grassland?
If calculated based on the galloping speed of a horse, if two horses take turns to ride, the cavalry can advance at least five hundred miles a day.
It took them ten days to run back from the west side of the grassland to the settlement of Youyanbe.
In other words, the grassland to the west of the Yanbe settlement is nearly 5,000 miles in size.
He has also been there from the Yanbu or Blackstone tribe to the north. He galloped on horseback and it took him almost ten days to reach the northern edge of the grassland.
In other words, the width of this grassland is about five thousand miles.
At this time, they had all been running eastward for nearly five days, but they had not yet seen the eastern edge of the grassland.
In other words, this grassland is at least 8,000 miles long and 5,000 miles wide.
He had never heard of such a large grassland in later generations.
There seems to be something wrong with this map!
In later generations, let alone such a large grassland, there will not even be such a large plain!
He was a little doubtful whether this was the earth.
Because there are so many places here that are different from the ancient records on earth.
For example, take the magic weapon. This thing is a super memory metal. Moreover, he has been using it for several years and there is no sign of rust at all. If this kind of magic weapon had appeared in the ancient times of the earth, it would have been passed down, let alone spread.
Thousands of years later, there will definitely be no problem if it spreads to the Xia, Shang, Zhou and even the Qin and Han dynasties.
However, there is no record of this kind of magical weapon in the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties.
There are also ancient characters. Logically speaking, the kind of ancient characters written by Prince Yinglou would not appear until the Qin and Han Dynasties at the earliest. However, it happened to appear here in this ancient period.
There are also titles, such as Young Master, General, and Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. These titles should not have appeared in ancient times, but this way of addressing them is currently popular in Xue Man tribe.
What has actually happened?
Everything seemed to be like a fog, lingering around him, making him more and more confused the more he thought about it.
well.
Forget it, it's useless just to think about it. Now, he can only explore the grassland as soon as possible and prepare for the next round of revenge from Xue Man's men.
He just waited there for a day with the remaining group of cavalry, and finally another group of cavalry turned around.
Immediately afterwards, he led a group of cavalry and continued to explore eastward.
Unexpectedly, after exploring for less than half a day, they encountered another group of wild horses!
This group is also guarded by a heterogeneous horse, but it is a male. Bailong seems to have no interest in it at all, and even has no interest in going up and beating it down.
After Zhao Hao rode on it and finally subdued it, he had no choice but to give it to Ahua, because he didn't want the exotic horse to destroy the harmony of Bailong's "family", and Ahua was too strong.
She was so big. Normally, a horse would be out of breath and sweating profusely after carrying her for an hour. But for a heterogeneous horse, it would be very easy to carry A-hua on its back.
After subduing the wild horses, he had to wait for a day with Ahua and his men. It was not until Ah Shan arrived with his men that he led the team to continue exploring eastward.
Along the way, he was both happy and troubled.
What made him happy was that there were obviously more bison, wild sheep and wild horses on the east side of the grassland than on the west side of the grassland. He could conquer a group of them almost every day, and his strength was also growing.
What bothered him was that the farther away he was from the settlement of the salt tribe, the longer it would take for the team sent to drive the buffalo, wild sheep and wild horses to turn back. If he didn't stop and wait, he would have to lead the way.
With Ayun, Ayue and the others continuing to explore.
Later, he was forced to have no choice but to leave one hundred cavalrymen from each of the five battalions to form a temporary team of 500 people. Under his leadership, he continued to explore eastward, while Ahua and the others were responsible for taking turns.
Driving the harvested livestock back to the settlement of Yanbu.
In this way, he continued to explore eastward for nearly ten days. Finally, a series of mountains appeared in front of him, and on the side of the mountains, there was a large river several miles wide.
This should be the eastern boundary of the grassland.
Zhao Hao stood on the bank of the river looking at the majestic and rolling mountains opposite, and couldn't help but sigh.
There are so many beauties in the country that it attracts countless heroes to bow their waists.
