Volume 3 Chapter 75 Bet on Your Tongue
"Haha, why don't you dare, if you lose, I will deal with you according to military law and send you to the gallows. ”
"Okay, so what if I win?"
The yak army all sweated for Crick, how could this person joke with his head, it was too reckless, but at the same time he felt sorry for him.
Nock thought for a moment, pursed his lips arrogantly, and said, "If you can do it, will you still let me give you your life?"
"What do I want your life to do. Crick smiled bitterly, pointed to his mouth, and said, "If you say it, cut out your tongue, if you want it, it will only hurt people, so it's better not to." ”
Nock wanted to agree, but so many people watched, and he talked too much, and he didn't look back, plus he didn't believe that Creek really had a way to train yaks.
"Okay, it's a word, I'll come with General Zia in three days to test the results. With that, Nock turned to leave.
"Wait, there's one more thing. Crick stopped Nock and said, "You just beat my sergeant, so you should add a clause to the bet, if I win, you have to ask this sergeant to pay you back." ”
"Hehe, that's nature. Nock finished and walked away.
Seeing him go away, the yak army surrounded Crick.
"General, how can you promise him this?"
"Yes, this is obviously a radical method, how can it be possible to train these yaks in three days. ”
"Yes, the general, or run away, lest your life be lost. ”
Looking at these kind yak troops, Crick was very moved, he smiled slightly, and said, "Please rest assured, I have my own way to deal with it." ”
He instructed the commander to prepare 100 sets of Ottoman army uniforms, 100 straw men, 100 weapons, and sufficient fodder, and assemble at the training ground early tomorrow morning.
The next morning, everything was ready. It was supposed to be a gathering of the fifth watch, but everyone came to the training ground before the fourth watch, waiting for the arrival of the main general.
Not long after, I heard a "moo" cry in the distance. Creek was still dressed as a merchant, riding on the back of an ox and shouting at the herd of oxen as he marched forward. Today, Crick did not bring out all three hundred head of cattle, only thirty of them.
Yoyoda entered the exercise ground without summoning at all. Everyone saw that this was good, it was really that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry, as if it was not him Creek who gambled on his head, but someone else.
Crick first looked at the straw men who had been tied, all dressed in Ottoman uniforms. Not only that, but the commander also carefully covered the straw man's face with a white cloth and drew a posture of teeth and claws. If you look at it from a distance, it really looks a little similar.
Crick nodded in satisfaction, reached out and grabbed a handful of fine hay and stuffed it into the straw man's stomach. Then, with a whistle, a pair of male yaks with huge horns stepped out of the herd and approached the straw man.
Previously, Crick had not fed the yaks forage for three days, and now they are all hungry. As soon as the yak came to the straw man, he smelled the smell of the hay. But out of fear of the weapon in the straw man's hand, he didn't dare to approach, just circled around the straw man.
Crick frowned, called over two sergeants, and led the yak to the straw man.
At first, the cow refused, saying nothing and refusing to move forward. Crick was in trouble at this time, he frowned, and ordered the sergeant to remove the weapon from the straw man's hand, and then cut the straw man's belly open, revealing the forage, and the yak slowly moved forward.
Although the yak is said to be livestock, but the cow has the mind of a cow, usually at this time should eat grass, but I don't know why I haven't eaten it for a few days, but today I smelled the smell of forage, and it also understands that it is time to eat.
But the cow also wondered in his heart, usually the forage would be poured into a wooden trough, but today it was in a person's stomach, I don't know what it means, forget him, he is very hungry and some eat.
The yak finally came to the straw man, took a bite of the grass that came out of his stomach, looked up at the straw man, and saw that he had no reaction, so he ate it with confidence.
Crick was overjoyed to see that it had worked, and ordered the sergeant to fill the bellies of the other ninety-nine straw men with hay. The cow obviously didn't have enough forage in the stomach of a straw man after eating it, so he went to the second straw man to look for it according to the old method.
This time, although the smell of forage could be smelled, it was not exposed, and the yak used its wisdom to open the belly of the straw man with its horns. Sure enough, I found a reward in it. In this way, I ate the forage in the stomachs of three or four straw men in a row, and suddenly remembered one thing, my cow brothers hadn't eaten it yet. So he "mooed" several times in a row, and saw that the cattle gathered in front of the "big cow" as if they had heard the command of the main general.
"Big Brother Niu" showed the brothers how to get food today, and poked open the straw man's stomach with a horn, and the grass fell to the ground.
The cattle followed its example and punctured the straw man's belly in search of food.
He has been selling cattle for a long time, and he knows that there is a leader cow in every herd, and as long as he tames this one, the other cattle will not make a mess.
He skillfully took advantage of this and applied it to actual combat.
The yak army was dumbfounded, looking at the incredible scene in front of them, and they all threw themselves to the ground with the five bodies that Crick admired, which was like a god.
Crick ordered the sergeant to bring the herd down, and said to the people, "Ladies and gentlemen, time is pressing, we need to intensify our training, and strive to succeed in training in three days, I have no intention of giving away my head yet." ”
"Hahahaha......"
There was a burst of laughter on the training ground.
Three days later, in the Athenian military field, General Zia stood on the platform and inspected the three armies. Nock was at the front of the line, beaming, believing that he had done a great job in helping Athens.
In fact, he is not qualified to stand there, but he does not have this number in his heart.
When the Athenian generals heard that a merchant had tamed a bison, they were a little unconvinced, and waited with suspicion for this good show.
After the fifth watch, there was a noisy noise in the distance, and the yak army strode into the teaching army field.
The first person was clothed all over his body, and it was the commander of the thousand, and the sergeant who followed behind led the oxen and shouted and marched forward. But there was no sign of Crick.
The commander came to the front of the handsome platform, tried a military salute, raised his head and said, "The yak army is ready, please ask General Zia to review it." ”
General Zia frowned, lowered his head and asked, "Why don't you see any trace of Creek?"
"Back to the general, Crick was resting in the hotel due to a cold wind, and I was specially ordered to come to practice. ”
Ziarthius didn't dig deeper, he knew that Creek looked very similar to Socrates, and it happened that he was not there, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. General Zia also has a selfish motive, if this Creek is pretended by Socrates, he must find ways to ensure his safety, and he will not show his face if he does not show his face.
"Start the demo. General Zia said.
"Yes!"
The crowd dispersed, making way for the yak army. I saw that the commander first ordered people to lead the cattle to the southeast corner of the military field, and then ordered people to place 500 straw men wearing Ottoman military uniforms in the center of the field.
These wild yaks had been hungry all day before, and now when they saw the straw men, they all "mooed" vigorously, and they also knew that it was time to eat again.
Everything was ready, and the commander gave an order and let go of the leading cow. I saw a long cry of "moo", which was the order of the herd, which meant that the brothers had dinner.
When the cattle got the leader's message, they all rushed over and trampled on countless straw men. Not only that, but also use the sharp horns to accurately cut the belly of the straw man and eat the grass in it.
The Athenians watching from both sides saw this scene beyond common sense, and they all praised it again and again, which military wizard got along with each other, it was wonderful!
