Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 162 Various Arrangements
Since the three wild horses had already been taken care of by the centaurs, they led them back all the way, but nothing happened.

Even really speaking, it was much easier than leading a buffalo.

The group returned to the grassland camp very smoothly, and then tied the three wild horses to the pillars.

The breeders of the Ministry of Agriculture are basically familiar with the following process, so there is no need for Zhou Xu to say anything.

The acquisition of wild horses is very important to Zhou Xu, because it means that he can start training cavalry!

Of course, equipment such as stirrups and saddles are also available.

Although there was no such equipment for horse riding in the earliest days, but since he knew it, there was no reason not to do it.

Equipping all these equipments can greatly reduce the difficulty of riding a horse.

He had already drawn up the design drawing in his spare time, and now that the order was issued, the equipment department in Heiyue Village naturally started working quickly.

The equipment itself is not complicated, and according to the current capabilities of their equipment department, it is easy to make it.

Now we just need to wait for the equipment in Black Moon Village to be ready and send it over.

There is no doubt that Zhou Xu intends to put the cavalry training on the grassland camp.

After all, what place is more suitable for cavalry drills than the vast grassland?
During the period before the equipment was delivered, the contact with the three wild horses went very smoothly.

During this period, the domestication of the first batch of five adult bison was basically completed.

During this process, five ox carts have been prepared.

Compared with their previous human push and pull wooden carts, this bullock cart is larger and more spacious, and can hold more goods.

When the five cows were just installed, they showed a bit of nervous resistance, but the familiar breeder comforted them, and the five bison quickly calmed down.

Domesticating this kind of thing is the most difficult at the beginning. As long as a relationship of trust can be successfully established between each other, the next thing will be easy.

The same is true for the bison. The five oxen soon learned to pull the ox cart, and they can officially put into work.

"Yes, Black Moon Village, Salt Lake Camp, and Grassland Camp will each allocate one ox cart, and the other two will be responsible for the barren mountain camp."

Zhou Xu, who received the news, made simple arrangements.

Judging from the current situation, these five ox carts are not enough at all, but Zhou Xu is not worried at all.

Now that the first batch of bison has been domesticated, will the second batch be far behind?

The use of five ox carts may not seem like a lot, but the impact on their tribe is still very large.

In addition to further improving the transport capacity and transport efficiency of their tribe, it also saves manpower and frees up more manpower.

The reason for this is simple.

In the past, wooden carts were used for transportation, which was entirely pushed and pulled by manpower.

But the movement between camps is not just a few steps away.

Under this premise, a wooden cart often needs to be equipped with multiple people pulling the cart, and when one is tired, the other is replaced, so as to maintain the efficiency of movement.

But the bullock cart is different, there is no substitution at all, and one cow directly pulls the whole journey.

Even if it is necessary to stop halfway, feed the cattle some forage, and let the cattle rest for a while, the overall efficiency will be much faster than when a cart is pulled by a human.

However, the vacated batch of manpower did not bring any benefits to other departments in their tribe.

Because Zhou Xu made some adjustments as soon as he turned his head, and took ten more people to serve as soldiers.

As for why it is...

That's because Zhou Xu had already issued a conscription order after they fought the Hyenas and paid the price of casualties.

That conscription directly expanded the number of soldiers under his command to 20, five more than the original 15.

After training till now, each one of them has already practiced decently.

Now that ten more people have been recruited into the army, they undoubtedly feel the pressure from the hyenas and want to further expand their combat power.

Under this premise, the use of ox carts made up for the impact caused by the reduction of manpower within their tribe to a certain extent.

As for the ten recruits, they definitely couldn't train with the veterans. They didn't have a good foundation and couldn't keep up.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu undoubtedly had arrangements in advance.

Although the hands and feet of the two broken soldiers were reunited, the medical conditions of this era doomed them to be unable to become as flexible as before.

This also forced them to retreat from the front line.

And Zhou Xu's arrangement for them is to serve as the recruit instructor and be responsible for training the recruits.

The batch of recruits recruited before had just finished their recruit training, and the new batch was sent to them soon.

The job of recruit instructor is undoubtedly not easy, but for them, it is a salvation.

After all, according to the original thinking of the two, if they become like this, they will basically be reduced to useless people, and their lives will only increase the burden on the tribe.

Now that they can have a job that allows them to continue to contribute to the tribe and play their value, they naturally want to put all their energy into it!

In the training of recruits, the basic things to be taught are basically very basic things, and there is not much technology at all.

The veterans who have experienced the previous training naturally mastered all of them.

Under this premise, unlike Zhou Zhongshan, they who had also received training as recruits were the most able to understand the feelings of recruits during training.

Combining this point, the recruit training plan formulated by the two of them after discussion was, to some extent, more reliable than Zhou Zhongshan, which surprised Zhou Xu at the time.

At the same time, Zhou Zhongshan was completely freed from the task of training recruits. After all, he was really not good at doing this.

Counting the ten recruits just recruited, the regular army under Zhou Xu now has 30 soldiers, plus sixteen hyena skeletons and ordinary skeleton soldiers.

According to his current strength, it is not a problem to gain a firm foothold on this grassland.

But you let him expand his power on this grassland?
The existence of centaurs and hyenas made Zhou Xu not think about it for the time being.

Now on this grassland, they can move freely while ensuring the safety of the camp.

Hurry up to collect resources right now, and start the internal construction of the grassland camp. As for the territorial development on the grassland...

Zhou Xu didn't have this idea for the time being, at least he didn't have this idea until his cavalry was trained.

After all, the risks on the grassland are still very high. Instead of dying here, it is better to change the target...

With such thoughts in mind, at this moment, staring at the map in front of him, Zhou Xu's eyes drifted unhurriedly to the barren mountain camp located in the other corner of the map.
