Volume 1 The Eagle Flies at the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 38 The Bison is a Disaster

When the Qiang people heard this, they stood up one after another, and they became a mess.

Jiang Mu was furious and said, "What's the mess!" Distinguished guests are here, what kind of system! Shame on yourself! ”

He rebuked the Qiang man who told the news, "Don't you see that I have a guest? You get all the warriors ready to drive the bison away! Go down! ”

A Qiang man said hatefully: "These beasts are so hateful! It's even more vicious than a Han dog, forcing us to ......."

Jiang Huan coughed violently and interrupted him.

The man immediately came to his senses, quickly shut up, and secretly looked at Nan Ying and the others with an embarrassed face.

Nanying and the others are all Daqi, just a herd of bison, how can they make the Baimaqiang people so angry. It is not surprising to know that wild horses and cattle are scattered almost everywhere in this vast prairie.

Jiang Huan saw the doubts of Nan Ying and the others, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Nan, do you think we are making a big fuss?" You don't know how domineering and powerful these bison are! ”

Yang Kun listened to it and said, "Oh? Tell me Brother Jiang, what is so powerful about these bison? ”

Nanying smiled: "Exactly! Brother Jiang, quickly tell this Brother Yang that you know, don't you know, he is one of the most expert beast trainers in the world! Not to mention such a thing as a bison, he still has dozens of tigers himself! ”

All the Qiang people were shocked together, and Jiang Muxi said: "What a good day is today!" There is such an adventure, let us meet such a strange person again! Good! Huan'er, you can tell the truth to Brother Nan and Mr. Yang, and they know, maybe you can solve the misfortune of my Guanghan and Qiang tribes! ”

Jiang Huan calmed down and thought for a while before sighing: "Everyone, in fact, our clan's predicament of lack of food this time is caused by these bison. About two months ago, our camp was more than 200 miles away, and it was the perfect place to spend the winter. One day, a strange looking bison suddenly appeared near the camp, and the bison and wild horses drank water and grazing around our camp, which was also a common thing, so it did not attract our attention. ”

"Soon, however, we realized that something was wrong, and that the bison, which had only numbered in the hundreds, had somehow grown to several thousand, and that they were competing with our cattle and sheep for grazing. We had to go forward to drive them out, but these bison were so ferocious and abnormal, not only did they not drive them away, but they launched an attack on us and the cattle and sheep, killing and injuring more than ten of us, not to mention, and thousands of cattle and sheep were killed on the spot! ”

"We organized thousands of warriors to hunt and kill, but the bison seemed to be invulnerable, and their bows and arrows were shot off their bodies. We had no choice but to retreat all the way to the southeast until we reached this point. ”

He sighed and said, "Our cattle and sheep have suffered heavy losses, and we have lost the pasture on which we depend, and soon the whole family will fall into the predicament of lack of food!" That's it! ”

Nan Ying saw that Yang Kun was eager to try, and he was also extremely curious, so he said, "I see, how about Brother Jiang take us to take a look?" ”

Jiang Huan hesitated to look at Jiang Mu and said, "This, this is very dangerous!" ”

Jiang Mu said in a deep voice: "Huan'er, you should also lead the soldiers to expel you, if you are forced to retreat again, we will fall into an even more embarrassing situation!" Brother Nan, they may have some good plan, but you must protect them! ”

Jiang Huan bowed down and said, "Father, don't worry! Brave and fearless Qiang warriors will definitely protect their friends with their lives! ”

Jiang Huan and five hundred Qiang warriors with bows and knives on their backs led Nanying and dozens of others all the way to the northwest and galloped away on horseback.

Running more than 20 miles away, he saw a Qiang man gesturing from a distance, Jiang Huan raised his hand to signal the horse team to slow down, and slowly leaned forward.

In the distance, a herd of bison, like black clouds, approached this direction while bowing their heads and nibbling on grass roots.

Yang Kun couldn't help but gasp and said, "My mother! Didn't you say there were only a few thousand? It's more than 10,000 to say less! ”

Jiang Huan said distressedly: "Exactly! This herd of bison seems to be expanding every day! If this development continues, not only will our Guanghan and Qiang be forced to withdraw from the grassland, but other Qiang tribes and grassland ethnic groups will fall into a life-and-death dilemma! ”

Turning his head and yelling, "Brothers, prepare!" ”

All the Qiang people hung their sabers on their backs with fierce faces, drew their bows and arrows.

Nanying raised his eyes and looked at them for a long time, because the herd was too far away, he still couldn't see the appearance of those bison, but a bad premonition rose in his heart, and he vaguely felt that the appearance of those cattle seemed to be somewhat familiar.

A few hundred steps further, getting closer and closer to the herd, seeing that the bison would be within range, Jiang Huan said to Nanying and the others: "Guests, you should retreat first."

Then he shouted: "Brothers, send arrows!" Get ready to charge! ”

The Qiang warriors looked up to the sky and shot rows of arrows, but they saw that the arrows were like locusts, reflecting a little cold light in the warm winter sun, and fell densely into the bison herd.

The southern eagle finally got a good look at the bison, and saw that they were bulky, stout, and strong, with long hairs on the lower sides, shoulders, chest, abdomen, and legs, almost drooping to the ground, forming a curtain, like a robe hanging from their bodies, and thick and terrifying horns on both sides of their foreheads.

Nanying trembled, almost not falling off his horse, and he hissed, "Not good! Brother Jiang, let the brothers retreat! Fast! Everybody is out at full speed! ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at him together, only to see Nanying's eyes red, trembling all over, and still shouting and retreating with hoarse voices.

The arrows finally fell, and in the midst of everyone's jaw-dropping, the arrows made a "poof" sound, and none of them could pierce the cowhide, and they fell to the ground weakly.

The herd was suddenly disturbed, making a terrifying sound like a pig's cry, and took small steps in the direction of Nanying and others, quickly from slow to fast, and in an instant, the hooves of tens of thousands of bison rushed into a terrible sound like a muffled thunder, like a rolling torrent swept towards everyone.

Jiang Huan finally woke up and shouted, "Everyone immediately withdraw to the camp!" "Just turn your horse and go.

Nanying grabbed his horse's head and shouted, "You're crazy! The herd cannot be lured back to camp! Otherwise, your people will be doomed! We have to lead the herd elsewhere! ”

He took a deep breath and shouted, "Follow me!" ”

Everyone was tired and wanted to die and dismounted and sat on the ground, looking at the herd of cattle that was still like rolling black clouds a few miles away, and began to slowly paced towards the camp of the Baima Qiang people in the southeast while gnawing grass, and they all had a depression that could not return to the sky.

Under the leadership of Nanying, they escaped for hundreds of miles in one go, and when they were so tired that they could not support the danger, the cattle gave up chasing them.

Jiang Huan reluctantly sat down next to Nanying, and said with a pale face: "Brother Nan! You've saved us again! Thank you for your kindness! ”

Nan Ying took a few breaths and said, "Brother Jiang! You're in big trouble! I'm telling you, these wild yaks are amazing! ”

Yang Kun happened to come over, and when he heard the words, he lost his voice and said, "These are yaks?" No way! How can yaks be so powerful! ”

Jiang Huan didn't believe it either: "Yes! Yaks are very tame, and there are tribes among our Qiang people who specialize in raising yaks, which are called yak Qiang! ”

Nanying shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That's not right! This extra wild word is very different, just like the difference between a domestic pig and a wild boar! These wild yaks have an amazing weight-bearing capacity, and although they look the same as domestic yaks, they have much greater endurance and cold tolerance and strength. It is also more burly and strong, and can grow more than twice as much as a domestic yak and weigh more than 1,000 catties. This wild yak is not only tall and strong, but also has a pair of horns like sharp knives, which is really an unruly monster! ”

Several people were dumbfounded when they heard this, and Yang Kun sighed: "I'm ashamed, I claim to be a master of beast taming in vain, but I don't even know how powerful this wild yak is!" ”

Jiang Huan was stunned for a moment before saying, "Brother Nan, how can you know so clearly?" Could it be that you have encountered this wild yak? ”

Nanying said in a heavy tone: "Not bad! I've encountered them, but there are only a few dozen! I never imagined that there could be tens of thousands of such powerful creatures, and when I first recognized them, I was so frightened that I almost fell off my horse! ”

I can't help but think back to my heart that when I went to Tibet with a few members of the Hidden Dragon Guard to carry out a mission, I accidentally encountered dozens of wild yaks in the high mountains, and a comrade-in-arms shot because he wanted to taste the taste of yak meat. Fortunately, they carried heavy weapons with them, and under continuous fire, they were able to repel the herd, but everyone was shocked into a cold sweat.

Jiang Huan couldn't help crying when he heard this: "Then what should I do?" Is it true that I, Guanghanqiang, am I going to be forced to quit this homeland where I have lived for hundreds of years? ”

Nanying stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't despair first, just now the bison herd has been successfully led out by us a hundred miles away, I see that they want to reach your camp, at least a few days away, we still have enough time to come up with a countermeasure!" ”

In Jiang Mu's big tent, everyone listened to Jiang Huan and Nan Ying's narration with heavy faces, and there was a deathly silence in the tent for a while.

After a long time, Jiang Mucai said astringently: "I originally thought that with the food supported by Brother Nan, I would be able to survive this catastrophe. I don't want this bison herd to be approaching step by step, and the partial life is so powerful, is it really heaven and earth will kill me! ”

Everyone was silent, and even Jia Xu, who had always been wise, was at a loss for what to do about it.

Zao only said in distress: "Why do these bison keep coming this way, can we lead them elsewhere!" ”

Yang Kun shook his head and said, "Impossible!" They are like a swarm of locusts, just to be fed, and they will go wherever there are water and grass! They are so large that they have already eaten up all the edible grasses along the way, where else can they go if they don't come here? ”

Dian Wei also sighed: "It's a pity that there are too many of them!" Otherwise, if it is invulnerable, I can beat them to death one by one! ”

Nan Ying said: "What you said is equivalent to not saying it!" ”

Dian Wei scratched his head and had to shut up.

Jia Xu pondered bitterly: "Since manpower can't resist them, can we use the power of nature to destroy them, such as fire attack or flooding!" ”

There was a chill in everyone's hearts, and Nanying even screamed in his heart, the poisoner was really poisonous enough.

But Jiang Mu sighed and said, "This plan won't work!" How can there be such a large amount of water on the grassland that can drown tens of thousands of cattle? Arson is even worse, if the matter is dry today, the wind is strong, and the deep grass is all dry, if a fire will rise, it is very likely to form a prairie fire, but I am afraid that the cattle are not burned to death, but we have become charcoal! ”

Jia Xu couldn't help but be stunned, and lowered his head with a sigh.

Ma Jun showed a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and Nan Ying's heart moved: "Xiao Jun! You're very talented, you're very intelligent, do you have a good idea of that? Just speak out! ”

Ma Jun hesitated: "Although I just thought of a plan, it is impossible to realize it, so I don't dare to say it again!" ”

Seeing the look of encouragement in Nan Ying's eyes, he mustered up the courage and said, "I originally thought that I could erect a wooden fence on the path that the cattle must pass to slow down their steps. Given the nature of animals, maybe they will change their route when the road is blocked, and we will be saved! But then I thought about it, this is the grassland, not our Black Tiger Mountain, where did we get so much wood to build wooden fences? I'm embarrassed to say it again! ”

Nanying was stunned for a moment and said, "Not bad! This is not our Black Tiger Mountain, there are no rocks and trees, only vast grassland...... Kindness? What did you just say?"

He jumped to his feet.

Everyone was taken aback, and Ma Jun stammered, "I said that the herd might change its route......

Nanying shook his head and said, "That's not right! It's not that, what did you say earlier? ”

Ma Jun tried to recall: "I said that you can erect a wooden fence on the path that the cattle must pass to slow down their footsteps......"

Nanying suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Not bad, not bad! That's it! ”

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said word by word: "Everyone! I've got a way! ”

Everyone was stunned by him, and Dian Wei couldn't help but pull his sleeves and said: "Mr. Jia, everyone says that you and Mr. Cheng are the smartest in the valley!" Guess what the lord came up with? ”

Jia Xu couldn't guess Nanying's thoughts, and was depressed, and said angrily: "Who told you that?" Me and Mr. Cheng are the smartest? Bah! You're trying to mock me, aren't you? Let me tell you, in the whole valley, the only one who is really smart is the lord! ”

He shook his head and said, "You know, the talent of the lord is really worthy of ......."

Zaoyi, Gao Feng, and Gao Gao'er smiled together and continued: "Unfathomable! Right? Mr. Jia! ”

Jia Xu was stunned for a long time, so angry that he pulled his long beard violently, pulled his legs and left.

Leaving behind him, everyone laughed and fell to the ground.

Nanying smiled and said to Jiang Mu: "Old chief! I don't know how many strong men are available in your White Horse Qiang tribe? ”

Jiang Mu was stunned and said, "About six or seven thousand people!" Didn't Young Brother Nan say that he was incapable of being an enemy? ”

Nan Ying said confidently: "You just have to send all the strong men to me to command, when did I say that I would let them fight the herd?" ”

He smiled mysteriously and said, "However, we must speak first, after the herd is broken, all the beef can be handed over to you as rations, and the cowhide, beef tendon, horns and other things will all belong to me!" ”

Jiang Huan was so shocked that he said: "God, the meat of tens of thousands of bison!" How many catties do you have to have! It's enough for our whole clan to eat for a year, right? ”

Jiang Mu's eyes lit up, Huo Ran got up and said, "If Senior Brother Nan can really break the herd!" It is the great benefactor of my whole clan, Hugh said these things, it is to let me Jiang Mu go to the soup, and I will never frown! ”
