Chapter 228 The Importance of Mounts
Out of caution, Li Ce bent his bow and shot an arrow at the hyena man's head, making a finishing blow. After confirming that the hyena man was dead, he ordered his men to pick up the arrows and take away the body.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who had been accompanying the whole trip, was riding on a horse, feeling as comfortable as if he was out for a picnic.
When their cavalry team encountered hyena people in the wild for the first time, he was a little nervous, but Li Ce quickly demonstrated his command ability, and together with the competent cavalry soldiers, they directly surrounded and killed the hyena people.
Since then, Zhou Xu was completely relieved.
Led by Li Ce, not counting Zhou Xu himself, the cavalry team they usually go out to sweep the area consists of eleven people in total.
If you encounter one or two hyena men, you can basically take them down.
However, if the number increases further, the risks they need to bear will begin to increase.
Of course, this is if they want to fight the hyena people.
The mobility advantage brought by mounts is there. If they don't want to fight, the hyena people will not be able to stop them at all.
It turns out that on this prairie, having a mount and not having a mount are two completely different concepts.
Once they have mounts and train cavalry, it will be difficult for races with limited mobility like the Hyena people to threaten them.
Conversely, if their riding skills, archery skills and coordination are up to standard, they can even rely on the mobility provided by their mounts to directly shoot and kill hyena people without any injury.
If the hyena people want to threaten them, there is only one way, and that is to ambush them!
However, this trick may work in other seasons, but it’s winter now!
As time passed, although the snow on the grassland had mostly melted, at a glance, the ground was still bare and the grass had not yet grown, let alone grown to the height of a person to cover one's tracks.
In this unsheltered environment, they were riding on horseback and had a high vantage point, so how could the hyenas ambush them?
Under this premise, no one knew where the Centaurs led by Drogo had gone. It might be related to what Drogo said before he left, so Zhou Xu didn't ask.
Their current life on the grassland can be described with the four words "run rampant without restraint".
After completing the sweep, they quickly packed up and headed back home.
During this time, looking at the endless grassland, Zhou Xu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
[It's a pity that we don't have enough manpower. Otherwise, I could have immediately built a frontline camp on the grassland. I could have used this frontline camp as a base and, with the mobility of the cavalry, further expanded the scope of exploration.]
[Forget it, let's talk about this matter after I start the spring. Then I can decide whether to expand into the mountainous area over there first, or into the grassland area over here.]
After sorting out their thoughts, the next arrangements for the grassland village were simple. They would continue their mopping-up work every day, gathering resources, training soldiers in riding and shooting skills, and preparing for the mobilization after the spring.
At the same time, in Black Moon Village, Zhou Chongshan has been having a sour face ever since the leader ordered him to return to Black Moon Village and cooperate with Ye Yan in treating his injuries.
Because this matter completely exceeded his expectations.
Zhou Chongshan initially thought that he would stay at home for ten days at most, and his injury would heal, and then he could go back to training.
However, he did not expect that the severity of this injury was far beyond his imagination.
Not to mention ten days or eight days, even after almost twenty or thirty days, his wrist still hurts.
On the other hand, for Zhou Xu, this situation was completely within his expectations.
Because before the time travel, he fell off his motorcycle and used his hands to support himself on the ground, which resulted in a sprained wrist.
And at that time, his wrist didn't even get swollen. He used spray and plaster and took good care of it for a month. He could still feel slight pain when he twisted his wrist. This was his personal experience.
Before he traveled through time, he had sprays and ointments to assist in treatment, but it was still such a problem. But now they don't have these things, and the situation will only get worse.
Not to mention that Zhou Chongshan's wrist was swollen like a steamed bun at that time, which was much more serious than his condition.
The conditions are poor and the injury is even more serious. If he doesn't recover well, his finger may never be healed again. This is not an exaggeration at all.
Zhou Xu must be clear about these principles, and Zhou Chongshan couldn't say that he didn't understand, but he really couldn't stay any longer.
Everyone was training, but he was idle every day because of his wrist. He could bear it for eight to ten days, but how could he bear it for longer? The gap was too big, and he was worried that he would not be able to catch up even if he wanted to.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Chongshan went to find Ye Yan with a solemn vow.
"I'm fine! Tell the messenger to tell the leader to transfer me back for training!"
While speaking, Zhou Chongshan twisted his wrist in front of Ye Yan to prove that he was not lying.
Faced with this situation, Ye Yan, who was studying two herbs in front of him, calmly raised his head and glanced at Zhou Chongshan's wrist.
By now, the swelling on Zhou Chongshan's wrist had basically subsided. It was really not easy to tell whether he was healed or not just with a pair of eyes.
In response, Ye Yan slowly spoke...
"Well, just twist your wrist as you did just now until dinner time. If you can do that, I'll grant your request."
Hearing Ye Yan's words, Zhou Chongshan frowned slightly, but he thought that Ye Yan just wanted to test him, so he agreed immediately.
"Okay, you said so, I'll twist until dinner time, don't regret it then!"
Looking at Zhou Chongshan who was making a solemn promise, Ye Yan remained calm, as if it didn't matter at all.
"I won't go back on my word, but before we begin, let me warn you that if your wrist isn't healed, and you force it until dinner time, it will only add insult to injury, and you'll basically end up breaking your hand."
Having said this, Ye Yan paused and turned his attention back to the two herbs.
"I don't mind. In my opinion, if you are such a fool, then just let it go. I don't think the leader will feel sorry for you."
"you!"
Zhou Chongshan, who was directly bullied by Ye Yan, was obviously very angry.
But he had to admit that he really didn't dare to do so, and he had no way to deal with Ye Yan, the Minister of Medicine.
In the end, he could only utter an angry snort, walk away, and sulk by himself.
Unexpectedly, before he could take a few more steps, Ye Yan's indifferent voice came again...
"Just don't move that wrist, give me more work to do, and use your other hand and legs. You can train me however you want."
