Black Iron’s Glory

The 376th chapter hunting wild bison

I really don’t fit in the office, or I am comfortable on the battlefield. I don’t have to deal with the groceries of the chicken skin all day long… Claude thinks that he is racing on the vast prairie. The sky is high and the sky is so bright that the unforgettable Alberto Prairie brings to Claude a feeling of peace of mind and pleasure.

A few smoky cigarettes rolled in the distance, and the top McJack raised his palms, and most of the people behind him began to slow down. That is a group of reconnaissance cavalry squads sent by the Thunder Division. It should be discovered before returning to report.

Sure enough, the four men and four horses that were flying fast caught the reins not far away, rolled down the saddle, and took the mount to McJack. McJack interrogated two sentences and walked to Claude with the headed soldier with a beard.

“Report General, the sergeant Linkmamet of the Thunder 301 scout squad, and the return of the head of the Berklin Lieutenant Colonel. We have found that the route of the bison migration is currently being scouted near the herd. No trace of the enemy has been found.” The soldier saluted Claude and shouted loudly.

The migration of nearly a million bales has a huge momentum, making the Albatro Prairie even wider. Although the direction of bison migration varies from the northern plateau to the southern plains every year, this does not mean that the bison group is taking a path every year. Many times, in order to chase the beautiful water plants, the bison herd often changes course and deviates from the old roads of previous years. So if you want to find the enemies who are going to hunt the bison, you must first find the buffalo on the Albato Prairie.

People who have never seen a bison migration can never imagine how huge it is when nearly a million bisons are clustered, just like an endless shadow that envelopes the entire grassland. Looking far away, it is a cloud that can’t see the margins moving on the grassland. Where they pass, the dense and rich green color disappears, leaving only the reddish brown soil…

“General, we can’t get closer.” Sergeant Linkmart said that he was a member of the Overseas Directive. He was selected from the Overseas Field Legion to join the Thunder Division and had several years of experience in hunting wild bison.

“The distance from the bison is about a safe distance. The five hundred meters are the hunting range of carnivores that hunt wild buffs. If you enter, you are vulnerable to attack. The distance from the bison is 100 meters. The alert area will trigger the buffalo’s vigilance. If the buffalo thinks you are their enemy, they will chase you in groups until you drive you away to a position they think is safe. General, our horses can pass The collision of wild cattle. Sometimes short-distance sprint, the bison is faster than the war horse…” Sergeant Linkmamet explained.

This should be true, Claude has seen several famous Uubissia continent carnivorous beasts. Among them are the group of long-legged lions, the agile and single-handed Nubissia iris lion, the cheetah with the patchwork, the fierce red-haired wolf and the brown-backed prairie wolf. Almost all carnivorous beasts recorded in the Nubissia continent animal map appear around the migratory bison herd, looking for opportunities to capture their prey from the bison herd, but more often fighting for a captured bison body. The buzz continues…

“Sergeant Linkmart, can you tell us how you used to hunt the bison?” Claude curiously asked.

“Of course, General.” Sergeant Linke Matt was stunned and pointed to the wild buffalo in the distance: “Hunting the bison, we can’t move in front of them. Because the front buffs are almost the strongest and most Aggressive, they are the pioneers of our troops, taking on the task of opening the road. Any enemy blocking them in front of them is easy to cause the madness of the bison, they will not only be strong, but will only rush to the past and block all The enemies in their direction are broken into pieces.

Similarly, the front side of the wild buffalo is not a good choice, where hunting wild buffs can easily lead to the crazy pursuit of the bison herd, which is simply irreconcilable until death. I once heard from the old bison hunter that there was a team of nobility to play in Nubissia continent. After hearing the bison migration, I was ready to make a join in the fun. They avoided the front and started hunting the buffaloes outside the herd.

At first, it was very smooth to hunt down a dozen buffaloes, but they forgot that they were too close to the bison group. The buffalo group that came over later had already given them in the inner circle. At the same time they also caught the attention of the Bison Group and began to pursue them. As a result, they were trapped among tens of thousands of buffaloes. When their mounts could no longer run, the team’s nobility and the accompanying more than 30 people were all trampled by the wild cattle. …

Generally speaking, it is a good hunting ground in the side of the buffalo group, but it is necessary to first drive away the carnivorous beasts in this area and let them understand that this is the hunting area of ​​human beings, so that the buffalo hunters have time to clean up themselves. Hunting. Only the bisons that fall on the periphery of the side of the bison are mostly old and weak, and they are the target of hunting for those carnivores. For bison hunters, the buffalo hunted on the outside of the side of the bison group is of little value. The quality of the cowhide is poor, and the taste of the beef is not good. It is generally used to make beef jerky.

At the same time, if you are hunting at the side, you should also pay attention to the sneak attack of the carnivorous beast. The team’s bison hunters often can’t maintain their hunting area, and they are attacked by those beasts. If you are not careful, you may hurt people. So basically the Bison Hunter will give up the daytime hunting area in the evening, with the hunting to withdraw Retreat to the campsite beyond the kilometer, in case of being attacked by beasts at night. Waiting for the next day, and then relying on many people to grab the next hunting area from the carnivorous beast.

If you can organize more than a hundred hunting teams, then the best hunting buffalo site is at the end of the migration of the bison. Many of the bison there are unable to catch up with the old and weak of the big herd, but at the same time there are quite a few young and strong bison who have just lived alone in adulthood. For bison hunters, this is the best prey.

The advantage of hunting bison from the tail of the herd is that there is no need to worry that the bison will flock in groups, but also that the half-baked bison suddenly madly attacked the team. Buffaloes like this are often aggressive, they can ignore you and many people, hunters or wild beasts, as long as they annoy these buffaloes, they will chase after them.

And the most important thing to watch out for at the end of the buffalo is the wolf. Whether it is the red wolf group or the prairie wolf group, it is the most hated enemy of the bison hunter. These wolves have a sufficient number and are very vengeful. Each time the bison herd migrates, these wolves will merge from small groups into large groups, trailing behind the bison herd. On the one hand, they will kill those old weak bisons as food, and on the other hand, they will snatch other carnivorous beasts. Hunting. Even the most ferocious appendix brown lions can only give up food when they encounter wolves.

There used to be a bison hunter who took advantage of the crowd and killed more than a dozen red wolves trailing behind the buffalo and fighting for them. As a result, at night, their camp was trapped by thousands of wolves. Then the man wolf great war lasted for three days and three nights, and the bison hunters died and injured many people to hold the camp, killing hundreds of red wolves. Finally, the wild cattle group left, the red-haired wolf group withdrew, and they had to go back to the government to rest, it can be said that the loss has arrived home.

Now the experienced Buffalo Hunter organization team goes to the rear of the Bison group to hunt the bison. It will leave the dead old weak bison to the wolves and take away the bodies of the young and wild bisons so that the wolves can not invade each other. The boundaries are clear. Our previous experience is basically that at least three heads must be left for hunting. Otherwise, once they are taken away, the next time there will be a bison hunting, the wolves will rush to compete for the body…”

A circle of people listened to him about the story of hunting wild bisons around the sergeant Linkmat with keen interest pleasure. McJack asked: “Sergeant Linkmart, what do you think is the most important thing to hunt a bison?”

Sergeant Linkmart thought for a moment and replied: “The most important thing is a well-guarded campsite and ample support staff. Because hunting wild buffs is something that our buffalo hunters should do, but catching good prey. After that, there must be an auxiliary staff to transport the bison corpse to the campsite for immediate treatment, molting, leaching, drying the beef, and preliminarily treating the horns and cowhide to prevent spoilage. These are urgent needs to be done by hand. The matter is related to the income of our hunting bison activities…

In addition, due to the large number of carnivorous beasts in the wild, it will pose a great threat to us bison hunters at night, so it is very important to have a campsite with good defensive performance that allows us to rest safely for one night. Organization A team that hunts the buffalo, the bison hunter only accounts for one third, and the rest are logistics support personnel. We are all looking for a suitable place to build a campsite just a few kilometers away from the Bison Group. The basic materials are basically transported from the rear, and weighed and built for security. ”

The big man Jamie suddenly asked: “The few abandoned half-collapsed camps that we saw when we came over are the campsites that you built before?”

Sergeant Linkmart nodded: “Yes, the earliest one was built ten years ago, but now the route of the bison migration is more and more biased to the east. These well-built camps are basically one or two years apart. It is also abandoned. After all, it is not only unsafe to transport the hunting road too far from the bison group, but also to make the body stiff and affect the quality of the flesh…”

Claude looked at the sky, ordered camping on the spot, and said to Sergeant Linkmart, let him bring some people to hunt a few buffaloes to add some fresh meat to the dinner, to see if his former bison hunter style is still… …

Sergeant Linkmart did not hesitate to greet a small team of soldiers who had been bison hunters and drove three cars to go to the wild bison. Claude took McJack and the others on a small mound and looked at them with a telescope, how to hunt the bison.

Linkmat Sergeant entire group First, the horse shouted, waving the whip to make a big noise near the buffalo group, scared away the three-spotted cheetah hiding in the grass, and then let the three carriage Stopped there, he continued to carry the squad soldiers straight to the wild cattle group.

They did not straight into the buffalo group, but under the leadership of Linkmatt, the horses ran across the edge of the bison, and divided the outer four or five bison and bison. Open up, use the horses and whip to drive the bison out, expelling the range of buffaloes from the buffalo.

One of the bison’s tempers was very hot. It ran and ran suddenly and suddenly turned around. He lowered his head and pointed the sharp horns to the soldier’s mount that drove it behind, no matter what the three-seventy-one was. However, this soldier has been reminded by Sergeant Linkmart that he has been prepared for defense. Lema went to the left side and let the sprint route of the buffalo directly let the buffalo emptied.

The buffalo did not hit the target. After a while, he stopped and found that it was very close to the wild cattle. It seems to be very boring, what happened just now, shaking his head and looking around, and went a few steps to the buffalo group, and soon stopped again and continued to feed on the weeds on the ground…

At this time, the sergeant Lin Kemat had already driven the remaining four bisons away from the bison for about 100 meters. They changed the formation. The two men were riding with a bison, making the bison unable to change. direction. The sergeant Linkmat, who was sitting on the horse, had already held Musket, who had ignited the flamingo, in one hand and extended the muzzle to the back of the running buffalo.

With the “peng”, the white smoke appeared.

In Claude’s monocular, you can clearly see a bloody flower on the head of the buffalo. The bison who was running continued to run a few steps forward. Suddenly, he stumbled and then stumbled forward for ten steps. He fell to the grass and his four hooves were twitching…

The remaining three bisons also shot the same, and one of the bisons fell to the ground like the buffalo that the sergeant Linkmatt had hunted. But the remaining two buffaloes are not. A buffalo slammed up and slammed up, as if mad. However, another soldier next to him was quick and quick to make another shot and knocked it to the ground.

The last buffalo smashed the right soldier and then slammed it to the left, forcing the soldier who had not fired on the left to pull the reins and deflect the horse’s head to avoid the impact of the buffalo. Then he looked at it. The buffalo smashed out and went straight to the left. Followed by several soldiers in the back to open the fire to the buffalo, but this buffalo clearly bloody, but like no injuries, the faster the run, the farther and farther…

Sergeant Linkmart also had no way to take the buffalo that had gone wild. The arquebuses in their hands had already been let go for one round, and it was useless to catch up. They can only stop at the same place, and greet the three cars to transport the three bisons they have captured, and then charge the Musket and re-clamp the fire rope to guard against the carnivorous beast like a tiger watching his prey. .

After the arrival of the carriage, in addition to the four or five soldiers sitting and immediately alerting the surrounding area, the rest of the people were all down, and they tried their best to carry the bodies of the three bison to the carriage. This is the time to re-start and run back behind the carriage.

Claude watched a performance of a hunting buffalo with his own eyes, only to understand how the buffalo was hunted. Unlike what he imagined, it was almost the same time that the muzzle was on the back of the buffalo to kill the buffalo, instead of the 100-meter-long shot that he thought would shoot the buffalo. Look at the last buffalo to come to the conclusion that if you shoot a bison 100 meters apart, unless you are in the middle of it, you will only anger the bison and attack the hunter, which is more dangerous…

The three bisons that were hunted this time should be weak according to the sergeant Link Gram, because the weight is about a thousand pounds, and basically the strong bison has a weight of more than 1,500 kilograms. . A few years ago, the Bison Trading Company had killed two or three bison hunting talents and hunted a Buffalo King. The body weighed more than 2,700 kilograms. It is said that when standing dead, it has a height of nearly two meters. It is very Terrifying behemoth…

The hunted buffalo became a nightly meal. Claude ordered the Thunder Division to not hunt the bison for the first two days. The most important thing is to find the enemy. The volunteer light-legged Legion, formed by the Cannes Dukedom Retreat soldiers, has once again entered the Albatro savannah of the Bering Ghana governor to hunt the bison in the migration…
