Chapter 282 Horse Training
"Team one, team two, surround them from both sides, don't let them escape! Team three, move faster!"
On the grassland, Li Ce shouted orders, asking his cavalry to act as quickly as possible.
However, what was different from the past was that the cavalrymen at this time were not holding weapons such as bows and arrows, but long poles with lassoes connected to them.
Their target was the herd of wild horses that started running wildly after being frightened! After a year, the new recruits sent to the grassland village had been trained by Li Ce. Now they followed orders and acted without any ambiguity.
The wild horses are very alert. Once they sense any movement, they will run away immediately. It is not easy for them to catch them.
Winter is almost approaching, and no one knows where the wild horses will migrate to. The next chance may be after the beginning of spring next year.
With this mentality, Li Ce was determined to catch a few more horses this time.
Excluding the soldiers stationed in the camp, he brought out a total of fifteen cavalrymen and divided them into three teams to carry out the operation.
At this moment, everyone held the lasso tightly in their hands and locked onto the target.
In addition, even Li Ce himself no longer stayed behind to give commands as he did before, but took action himself, holding a lasso pole and using the lasso on the pole head to lasso a galloping wild horse.
At that moment, the pulling force suddenly came along the lasso, causing the lasso in his hand to almost slip out of his hand.
Li Ce was startled and hurriedly grabbed the harness tightly, put his feet on the stirrups to steady his body, and started to struggle with the galloping wild horse.
Some of the soldiers were careless and were dragged to the ground by the wild horses. They were thrown dizzy but did not let go and were dragged by the wild horses all the way.
Fortunately, this is on the grass, so there is a buffer.
After catching his breath, the soldier suddenly steadied his body, grabbed the lasso and ran after the wild horse.
He seized an opportunity and jumped directly onto the horse's back, holding the wild horse's neck tightly and fighting with it.
Putting aside other things, after such a long period of riding training, their riding skills can certainly not be described as perfect, but they have reached a level that is presentable.
At present, there is no harness on the wild horse's back for him to fix and stabilize its body, which makes it much more difficult. But as long as he can get on the horse's back, the task will be half successful.
In order to capture this batch of wild horses, the soldiers are now giving it their all.
Having lived on the grassland for many years, their horseback riding skills have become increasingly advanced. After repeated pulling and maneuvering, the wild horses have gradually become worn out by them.
Li Ce acted the fastest. Although he had already transformed under Zhou Xu's guidance and was now mainly responsible for commanding from the rear, his three-star bravery limit was still there. If a real fight broke out, his skills might not be worse than those of an ordinary three-star general.
Isn't it easy for him to catch a wild horse? Compared to him, two soldiers accidentally let the wild horses they had already caught run away. Now they are hanging their heads, not knowing what to do.
Seeing this, Li Ce had no time to say anything more. He directly stuffed the lasso and rope into the other party's hands, signaling the soldier to take good care of the wild horse he had caught. He then galloped on his horse all the way, chasing after the fleeing herd of wild horses, trying to see if he could catch up with them and capture one or two more to bring back.
"drive!!"
Li Ce held the reins with one hand and used his feet to steady his body. He used his free hand to quickly take out the flying rope hanging on one side of the saddle. After several high-speed spins, he threw it out suddenly.
The flying rope whizzed all the way and hit the hind leg of the wild horse in front. Although it did not trip it directly, it made it stagger, creating an opportunity for Li Ce to catch up.
At this moment, he no longer had the lasso in his hand, and the last flying rope had been thrown out before. Now, there was basically only one way left to catch this wild horse.
Li Ce was very clear about this and acted decisively.
Seeing an opportunity, he gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, and jumped directly from the back of his mount onto the back of the wild horse.
The wild horse was frightened when it felt its back suddenly sink. It neighed with a "hiss" and jumped up on the spot.
Running and jumping all the way, the bumpy road was so severe that it made Li Ce question his life.
There was no time to think. Li Ce quickly grabbed the wild horse's mane and lowered his body. Then he took the opportunity to hug the wild horse's neck tightly and clamped his legs around the horse's belly.
This situation made the wild horse even more panicked. After jumping several times and failing to throw Li Ce off, the wild horse simply lowered its head and ran wildly.
During this period, Li Ce also used all his strength to keep his body tightly against the horse's back in order to avoid being thrown off by the wild horse.
It was unknown how long this state lasted. Later, Li Ce's entire body was almost losing consciousness and he could not feel the existence of his hands and feet.
The man was even more dizzy from being tossed about by the wild horse, and it felt like his brain was being shaken, making him almost lose the ability to think.
When he finally caught his breath, he discovered that the wild horse had stopped running and jumping for some time, and it looked like it had been completely worn out by him.
Thinking of this, Li Ce was just about to stand up, but the next second, he gasped on the spot.
[It’s really fucking terrible! ]
Li Ce had never felt so clearly as if his whole body was falling apart! But looking at the horse under him that had obviously become obedient and docile, he felt much better.
"You are such a good runner, boy!"
After muttering a few words and taking two breaths, Li Ce forced himself to sit up and looked around, trying to confirm his current location.
As a result, when he turned his head, the next second, the scene that came into Li Ce's eyes made him look dull for a moment, and then his brows began to frown.
At the same time, after seeing him running away on the back of a wild horse, two of his subordinates who were chasing after him arrived in time.
At that moment, what Li Ce saw was undoubtedly reflected in the eyes of the two men, causing them to freeze in place.
Before the two could say anything, Li Ce had already frowned and motioned one of the soldiers to switch horses with him. He pulled the reins, climbed onto the horse and said...
"Quick! Go back to the village and report this!!"
