Chapter 405 Bloody Horse
As soon as he said this word, Zhou Xu suddenly felt like he had a sudden realization. Even a layman like him who had no research on horses had heard of the name of Bloody Horse.
I couldn't help but take another look at this scruffy-looking pony.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, ‘Good boy, I didn’t see it! You have quite a background! ’
I don’t know if he sensed the meaning in Zhou Xu’s eyes. The little pony snorted and glanced sideways at him. His eyes were full of vigilance and seemed full of intelligence.
During this period, Ma Guotao continued to explain.
“In the original world, my horse farm mainly cultivated purebred Akhal Tekin horses, which are sweat-blooded horses, so I know a lot about this breed.”
Just now When Ma Guotao said this, a question suddenly appeared in Zhou Xu's mind, and he couldn't help but ask...
"By the way, they say that the sweat from this sweaty horse is all Red, is this true? ”
“False”
Ma Guotao gave this answer very simply, without any hesitation.
“According to research, there are two main reasons why sweat-blooded horses are called ‘sweat-blooded’ in our country.”
“On the one hand, the sweat-blooded horse’s skin is very Thin, coupled with well-developed sweat glands, some light-colored sweat-blooded horses with silver-white coats will, after strenuous exercise, increase body temperature, accelerate blood flow, and the skin will become obviously red, giving people the feeling of overflowing. Blood and sweat are the same.”
“On the other hand, it is also due to the color of the coat. The sweat-blooded horse is also maroon. Affected by the coat color, after a large amount of sweat soaks the hair, visually it looks like it is bleeding. Blood and sweat.”
“That’s it.”
After listening to Ma Guotao's explanation, Zhou Xu looked like he had become more knowledgeable.
Looking at Zhou Xu's appearance, Ma Guotao, who was still very interested before, made up his mind after a slight hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I would like to give you some advice on the follow-up arrangements for this colt."
"You do."
"I hope not to let this colt The foal goes to war, or don’t let it be a war horse.”
Hearing this, Zhou Xu was slightly startled at first, and then, as if he realized something, he guessed what Ma Guotao was thinking.
“Do you want to use it for breeding?”
“Yes.”
Ma Guotao nodded quickly.
“I don’t know if I can find a second horse of this breed. Rather than taking the risk and putting it into the battlefield, we might as well use it to breed and adjust the bloodline of our existing war horses so that we can use it in the future. Can breed war horses with better bloodlines.”
Ma Guotao's thoughts at this time coincided with Zhou Xu's to some extent.
From an ordinary person's perspective, when encountering this kind of bloody BMW, the first picture that comes to mind is most likely the picture of a fierce general riding a sweaty BMW invincible on the battlefield.
But from the perspective of people like them who are engaged in development, it is safest not to let it be used as a war horse, but to breed it as a breeding horse from the beginning.
After all, once on the battlefield, there is a risk of death. Needless to say, Zhou Xu and Ma Guotao easily reached a consensus on this matter and decided to cultivate this colt as a breeding horse.
In this way, this spring, after Dazhou recovered the consumption accumulated during the winter period, it quickly entered a stage of rapid development, and its life was considered smooth and busy.
At the same time, on the Lizard Man Continent, the reconnaissance force headed by Silk and Drogo were not living a stable life at all.
After all, their current situation is different from Drogo and his friends at that time.
How many people were Drogo and the others at that time?
The lizard people didn't pay much attention to the small number of centaurs.
Under this premise, Drogo and the others came here to find their own people.
So when they are being chased, they just need to keep their heads down and run away. No matter how far they run, the lizardmen cannot pursue them endlessly.
But this time is different, they came with a mission.
Their mission is to confirm whether the lizardmen are fighting other enemies, and at the same time, cause destruction at the rear of the lizardmen, forcing the lizardmen to hunt them, in order to contain the lizardmen. force, and use the hands of the lizardmen's opponents to bring more casualties to the lizardmen, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the pressure on one's own side.
This task forces them to come out and cause trouble from time to time.
And every time they cause trouble, they have to bear corresponding risks. This is something that the centaurs headed by Drogo did not need to do before.
"Hurry! Breakout here!"
On this day, their hiding place was discovered. Under the command of Thoros, the green lizard infantry, which were more flexible and faster, cooperated with the Velociraptor The cavalry quickly formed an encirclement.
Drogo shouted to open the way in front, while Silk observed all the way, while closely following the path opening team headed by Drogo.
Both are cavalry units, and their frontal breakthrough capabilities are completely stronger than those of the Lizardmen's Velociraptor Cavalry.
As a fragile infantry unit, the Green Lizard Infantry is even less likely to be able to stop them.
But recently, the lizardmen have been hunting them down, and their continuous siege and interception have really made them exhausted physically and mentally.
After a brief internal discussion, both Drogo and Silk felt that it would be better to run away first and rest for a while before coming back.
With splashes of flesh and blood, the blockade composed of green lizard infantry penetrated from the front. At the moment of breaking out, there was a small sound of breaking through the air, and suddenly there was nothing far away. came from the hills.
Silk and the others, who were following behind, relied on their excellent eyesight to see clearly the things that attacked, which were black needle-like spikes.
The attack came so suddenly that Drogo and the others had no time to dodge and were hit on the spot!
At the same time, the scene on the empty hilly land suddenly experienced a strange distortion. With this distortion, lizard men with green skin appeared there one after another.
These lizards are 70-80% similar to the green-skinned ‘Baltu’, but they are also subtly different.
They have a pair of eyeballs that are as big as light bulbs and protrude. The movement of the eyeballs allows them to have a wider field of vision.
The long tail is slightly curled at the tip. Although the body is hunched, it can still be seen that their hands and feet are more slender. After standing upright, they should be taller than the ordinary 'Baltu'. .
At this moment, these relatively special lizard men were holding a long plant trunk that was almost half a person tall.
Then put one end in front of your mouth and blow hard.
At that moment, only a soft sound was heard, and a black spike flew out from the hollow trunk, shooting at Drogo and the others who broke through!
