Chapter 28: The Bison Herd (2)
For these, these barbarians are already familiar with the way, while arranging for people to collect loot, while letting those goblins tie up each other, it is not surprising that this goblin tribe still has no oil and water, and few iron weapons. Aside from goblin slaves, there is basically no additional income.
After a brief rest, the team was divided into two, and one barbarian escorted the two hundred goblin slaves back to the station, while Suren led several other barbarians to continue to patrol the area.
......
The army marched through the woods to the northeast, and in the distance appeared a large rolling mountain that looked like a giant beast across the earth. It is the Kandal Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles and flow through the Whitewater River of the territory, where its source is.
The autumn wasteland looks a little dilapidated, the grass and trees begin to wither and yellow, the animals that need to hibernate have begun to store their wintering fat, this time is also the fattest season for animals, find a place with a good view, Suren ordered the whole army to rest and prepare for dinner, a barbarian warrior, hunted an antelope nearby.
These barbarian warriors used to be hunters in the wilderness, and hunting an antelope can be said to be handy. Soon after a simple process, one of the warriors began to roast the antelope.
"Head, head, about five kilometers to the east, a herd of bison was found. Just as Suren was about to divide the roast, a barbarian who had been sent out to scout ran back and said.
"How many bison are there?" Hearing that there was a herd of bison, Su Lun didn't care about the barbecue, threw the thing to a barbarian warrior beside him, reached out and grabbed the barbarian who came back to report the situation.
"Big, big bunch. The barbarian was not very sensitive to numbers, and said with his hands in a large circle in front of him.
"Is there a large number of goblin tribes we just exterminated?" Su Lun asked as he took the roast meat handed over by the soldier behind him and handed it to the warrior.
Taking the barbecue, the warrior took a few bites of the barbecue and said, "There are not as many goblins as there are, about half of them." They should be ready to migrate. ”
"A little half. Su Lun's eyes lit up, but he kept thinking in his heart, a small half is about a hundred, a hundred bison, this is not a small number, whether it is caught and raised for meat or used to cultivate the land, these bison can not be let go.
Now the territory plans to reclaim 5,000 acres of land, although there are many efforts, but the progress is still slow, if there are cattle, these 5,000 acres of land, or a few days can be cultivated, and by the next year, more land can be cultivated.
"Everyone eats at a faster pace and assembles in ten minutes. Thinking of this, Su Lun immediately spoke, he was ready to catch all the bison at once, you must know that these bison have long legs, once they go late, who knows where these bison will go?
Soon all the barbarian warriors were ready, and Suren, led by the soldier, hurried in the direction of the bison herd. In this world, there are both ox ploughing and horse ploughing, the speed of horse ploughing is faster, and the speed of ox ploughing is slightly slower, and both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The group quickly advanced to the northeast defensive line, and after about fifteen minutes, Suren led the people to the position that the scout had said. It was a high slope with a great view of the surrounding environment, and below the high slope was a plain, and the herd of bison was standing on the moor grazing leisurely.
There were quite a few of these bison, and Su Lun simply counted them, at least one hundred and thirty of them, and such a large herd of bison was rare in the wilderness. Although the bison is an ordinary beast, but the temperament is relatively fierce, this animal can reach a ton of weight, the body length is at least three meters, and there is a pair of curved and sharp horns on the head, at a glance you know that they are very lethal.
This bison is still a social animal, and the danger is even greater, think of more than a hundred bison weighing more than a ton sprinting together, like thunder. The consequences they did were no less powerful than those charged by the Imperial hoplites.
"There are so many bison, and you can't let one go!" Su Lun said excitedly. With these bison, the reclamation of the territory can be accelerated.
The barbarians are still very experienced in taming bison, after all, when they used to live in the wilderness, there were many bison in the tribe. Now let them catch bison, that's the old way for them.
Fearing that the herd of bison would flee, Suren prepared to capture the leader of the herd. Disperse the men and let the barbarians form an encirclement around the herd, and then Suren himself went to capture the head of the herd.
In fact, it is not difficult to distinguish the head cow of the herd, the strongest bison is the first cow, Su Lun stood on the high hill and scanned back and forth, trying to find the head cow in the herd, after observing a few times, Su Lun finally identified the head cow in the herd.
Approaching the herd, the grazing herd was wary of Suren's arrival, and several bison were even ready to rush at Suren at any moment and knock him away. Mooed at Suren a few times, then pointed the horns on his head at Suren, and kicked his front hooves back and forth a few times, Suren didn't care about the demonstration of these bison, and walked towards the herd of bison without the slightest pause.
Seeing that Su Lun ignored their warnings, several short-tempered male bison rushed directly towards Su Lun, but naturally Su Lun smashed his head with a fist and passed out directly. Because if you want to catch this herd of bison and use it to plough the land, you naturally can't use too much force, what if you are knocked to death.
After knocking out these bison, Su Lun did not stop at all, and quickly rushed towards the first cow in the herd, and the first cow in the bison herd did not show any weakness and also rushed towards Su Lun.
As a cow, this bison is even larger, with a body length of more than three meters, and there are many younger brothers behind him, but unfortunately, he met Su Lun, and before he showed his strength, he was directly punched down by Su Lun.
Shaking his head, the head cow staggered to his feet, and as soon as he got up, Su Lun jumped on the back of the cow. After sensing that there was someone on his body, the bull frantically wanted to throw Su Lun down, but no matter how it moved, Su Lun sat firmly on its back.
In the end, the cow was exhausted and did not throw Su Lun down, so he could only bow his head to Su Lun and admit defeat.
After successfully taming a cow, the remaining more than a hundred bison are no longer a problem, the first cow mooed at the herd ~ a few times, the originally restless herd regained its calm, and then Suren rode a cow with this group of bison towards the territory. The other barbarians only followed to the left and right, and more than a hundred cows ran to give an unstoppable momentum.
