1032 Cow(1/2)

Li Geng likes mountains and sea.

He likes it whether it is the steepness of Mount Hua, the Dozia in Mount Li, or the strange turmoil in the Pacific.

However, at this moment, what he likes the most is the small hill bag in front of him.

Li Geng, who was busy rushing up the hill with hundreds of people, was thinking about how to defend the position, and his face was extremely solemn.

Continuing his expedition to North America was his decision, and he certainly hoped to bring all his brothers back.

However, now, let alone Chen Sier, even he himself felt the movement of thousands of troops rushing towards him and his group.

Although Li Geng was born in a general, he was very skilled.

But he was not confident that he could take more than one hundred people to deal with tens of thousands of cavalrymen.

"Li Langjun, the enemy should have reached the back of the hillside in front, and we can see it as long as we rush out. But I don't know what mission they have, it seems that they are marching at full speed. If we are careful and do not let them notice our movements, there should be no problem.

Since we landed this time, we have been moving forward carefully and there should not be any major changes. Besides, even if the natives here really want to deal with us, there is no need to make such a big change. So I am sure that these people should not come for us. As long as we hide on this hillside and try not to make any changes, it should be safe."

Chen Sier's behavior was quite calm, after all, she was a person who had been living at sea for so many years.

"That's right, but the power of these natives seems to be much stronger than that of South America. Tens of thousands of cavalry are dispatched at any time. If we fight with them, it will be really trouble."

Li Geng must not be worried that the combat power of the Native Americans is even stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty.

But if you win with less, it depends on how big the gap is.

There is no way to play with more than 10,000 cavalrymen like this.

"This time we were not prepared, so we could only hide from them first, but the next time we carried armor and arrows and were ready for attack, I think these natives could not be more powerful than the Turkic people's combat power."

"It's a good thing to have news about natives after all, which means that our corn and sweet potatoes are probably nearby."

“Huh?”

"What's the matter?"

"Look at Li Langjun, you see, awesome! So many awesome!"

Just as Li Geng and Chen Sier were talking, a group of bison emerged from behind the hillside in front.

The momentum of moving forward and the dusty look were really extraordinary.

"hiss!"

Even though Li Geng was very knowledgeable, he was shocked by the situation in front of him this time.

I saw him holding the telescope tightly, afraid that he would miss the scenery in the distance.

These wild bisons are extremely strong. One is two or three meters long and nearly two meters high. They look like a cow god descending to earth.

Li Geng has never seen plowing oxen, nor has he seen herds of cattle on the grassland.

But this was the first time he saw a herd of cows like in front of him.

These cows are so strong.

The key is that there are still a lot of numbers.

"These cows are running too fast. If they rush into the army, even tens of thousands of troops will probably be dispersed by them."

Just as Li Geng looked at Niu Qun excitedly, countless Niu Qun appeared in everyone's sight.

"Li Langjun, it seems that he did not see the herdsmen. These cattle may be bison!"

Chen Sier naturally observed the movements ahead without moving.

This is a major event that concerns the life and death of the fleet.

"For so many bisons, these are not cows, they are all money! Such a thick bison can make several pairs of leather armor with cow skin, and those horns, which are all good medicinal materials; not to mention beef, making them into jerky beef can not only solve our food problem, but also have some money to earn even if it is transported back."

Realizing that everyone should be safe, Li Geng's thinking immediately began to diverge.

For the people of the Tang Dynasty, beef is definitely a luxury.

Until now, it is illegal to slaughter oxen without permission from the government.

Although all high-end taverns in Chang'an City also transport some beef from Liangzhou, these are beef cattle on the grassland and the prices are not cheap.

As for beef jerky, it is also something that only wealthy businessmen have the opportunity to enjoy.

Li Geng naturally had eaten beef jerky too.

Not to mention how good that tastes, just such a dry food is of great use to the fleet gaining a foothold in the Americas.

"If such a strong bison can be tamed, it may be a good helper for arable land; if our fleet wants to build a port, it will definitely require a lot of animal power."

"Chen Sier, such a cow is probably two thousand pounds. It's not wrong to have great strength, but are you confident of taming them?"

Li Geng's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Chen Sier's head.

Yes, how can you tame such a powerful herd?

More directly, such a powerful herd, how can you use to capture them alive?

Even if you shoot, there are quite a risk.

By looking at the speed of these bisons running, you can feel their deterrence.

"If such a big buffalo is not fully prepared, let alone capture it alive, it will probably be very difficult to even slaughter it. Li Langjun, it seems that it will be very difficult for us to use these buffaloes."

After recognizing the reality, Chen Sier felt extremely heartbroken when she saw the herd of bison running in the distance.

These are all moving copper coins.

If it were placed in the Tang Dynasty, countless people would definitely hunt them down.

"It should not be the season for animal migration now, but here you can see a herd of tens of thousands of bisons. It seems that the number of bisons here in North America should be very large. No matter what, this is good news."

Li Geng felt that although North America, where bison was everywhere, was not as attractive as gold, it was worthy of vigorous development.

Especially if there are corn and sweet potatoes here, the value will be even more extraordinary.

"Dengzhou was originally a state where people could not even have enough food to eat. However, by developing the fishing and whaling industry, Dengzhou is now a wealthy prefecture in the Tang Dynasty. If we look for a suitable port in North America and then develop the cattle industry here, we might also have a new prefecture."

Li Geng felt that since South America already had a port of hope, North America would definitely focus on building a port as the destination for the expedition team.

This is very meaningful for attracting more people to go out to sea.

Because there is a supply point, it means a reduction in risks and also gives everyone a goal when drifting at sea.

"I think when we are about to turn back, we will determine which port is the most suitable for key construction. Otherwise, there will be too many natural ports along the way, and it is impossible for each to be built. It is best to have some minerals besides the bison herd."

Chen Sier was watching the rushing herd of bison, while fantasizing about the situation at the port.

"You might as well say that there is a big river next to you, and there are borders around for easy defense; it is best that the soil here is very fertile, and no matter what you plant, you can harvest it, and it is like spring all year round."

After hearing Chen Sier's words, Li Geng couldn't help but argue.

"Hehe, if you can find such a port, it will be the best!"

Chen Sier's face was thicker than a wall, so she was not afraid that Li Geng would make fun of him.

"Let's go and kill a fallen bison and improve the food these days. I heard that grilled steak is the most popular dish in Ainosu. Today I want to try the grilled steak here."

Seeing that the buffalo herd had slowly disappeared, Li Geng breathed a sigh of relief and began to think of the fallen buffalo.

It seems that no matter when you fall behind, you will be beaten.

"Swoosh!"

As soon as Li Geng finished speaking, he ran quickly down the hillside, and then took an arrow at a bison whose eyes were more than a thousand pounds.

As a junior of the general, Li Geng’s archery technique is definitely undeniable.

After the arrow went out, it hit the bison in the eye directly.

That's not bad?

The wild bison, who was originally running, suddenly turned around and came towards Li Geng.

It seems that these bisons without natural enemies are used to being used to.

Today, when I see such a weak animal dare to bully me, why don’t I fight back?

"Swoosh!"

Li Geng calmly shot out an arrow again, hitting the other eye of the Bison.

"Moo!"

The bison screamed and began to speed up and rushed forward.

That speed is beyond everyone's imagination.

"Does go!"

Li Geng shouted, pulling out his sword and walking directly to the bison.

"Li Langjun, be careful!"

Chen Sier's face turned pale when she saw this scene.

Although he knew that Li Geng was very good at it, no matter how good he was, it would be dangerous when he encountered such a crazy buffalo.
