Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 446 Mongolian Mastiff

The endless Menggu prairie has never been as quiet and beautiful as the sky is vast and wild, and the grass is blowing in the wind and the grass is low, as described in the book.

If any herdsman understands this verse, they will probably call you a fool on the spot. Not only can you see cattle and sheep in the wind blowing grass, there are also wolves in it!
The ecological chain of the Menggu Grassland is very complete. Herdsmen naturally stand at the top of the biological chain. Cattle, sheep and horses do not have tusks as weapons, and do not have the skills of prairie rats and rex rabbits. Driven by natural selection, they attach themselves to the herdsmen.

Animals that chose humans generally lived more comfortably. Although cattle, sheep and horses were driven by herders to be practical, their populations became larger.

There is only one kind of rebellious animal on the grassland, which is the nightmare of all animals on the grassland, including the herdsmen.

That's the prairie wolf!

Prairie wolves live and hunt in groups, and each group is commanded by a wolf leader.

On a snowy night, after the herdsmen blow out the oil lamps and fall into a deep sleep, the dark night carnival belonging to the coyotes has just begun.

The head wolf is in charge of commanding, and there are at least a dozen strong male wolves under the head wolf who are responsible for attacking, and the rest of the wolf pack are responsible for surrounding and guarding.

Due to the conditions, the fences where the herdsmen put their cattle and sheep are not very high. The strong prairie wolf can break into the flock just by jumping high. When the head wolf gives an order, the nightmare of the flock begins.

A wolf pack with forty wolves must eat at least ten sheep a day to survive, but this is not the case.

Once a pack of wolves attacks a flock of sheep, at least one hundred sheep will be killed and many more will be injured.

There is no other reason. In panic, the wolves bit and bit their necks. Even if the sheep struggled to escape, they often died due to excessive blood loss. What the herdsmen saw in the morning were only frozen corpses.

In addition, climbing over the sheep fence is also a difficulty. It's okay to pass by yourself, but it's a bit difficult to hold a sheep.

If the sheep killed by the prairie wolf are too heavy to take out, they will often look for new prey...

Almost every herdsman encounters several times of wolves attacking the sheep every year. The white disaster is not only a disaster for the herders, but even worse for the wolves.

On the endless Menggu grassland, every year, all the animals are working hard to survive, and for this reason, they are doing everything they can.

The Menggu Mastiff was born to deal with the prairie wolf. The Menggu Mastiff is a quiet animal. They are good at observation, calm, brave and fearless, and indomitable.

Grassland herdsmen almost regard ferocity and fearlessness of wild beasts as the only standard when choosing dog breeds. Menggu Mastiff is the only mastiff on the grassland that dares to challenge wolves alone.

What is especially dangerous is that when the Menggu Mastiff launches an attack, it will not give any warning. A dog that bites does not bark, and the ferocious Menggu Mastiff does not need to bark to gain momentum.

As long as the herdsman gives an order, Menggu Mastiff will not hesitate to pounce on any animal, including the enemy!

"Lord Patriarch, Senge gave birth to seven puppies! Look!" Seeing Babala approaching in a hurry, a man with the appearance of a domestic slave carefully picked up a puppy and showed it off to the owner.

"Hahaha, Senge is really good, I'll give you an extra meal today, you can choose mutton, beef or horse meat!" Barbara was overjoyed to take the puppy.

He knelt down and put the pup next to Senger, stroking Senger's head without boasting.

The mastiff called Senge shook its tail slightly in response, then kept licking the rows of puppies under its belly, and at the same time moved its ears alertly, raised its head and looked at Barbara rear.

"Old Ba, this is your family's Gangrisenge?" Liu Hongjian quietly walked behind Babara and went to pat Babara on the shoulder.

Gangrisenger, who was lying on the ground, squatted up immediately, as if he was thinking about something.

"Sengge, squat down, my own!" Babara didn't care about replying to Liu Hongjian, but took the lead in ordering Gangrisenge to comfort him.

The dog was obedient, and immediately wagged its tail and lay down again. It didn't intend to attack, but once a stranger came, whether it was an enemy or a friend, the necessary vigilance was their loyalty to the master's mission.

"Yes, my lord, this is my dog. It saved my life!" Barbara immediately told Liu Hongjian about an encounter more than three years ago.

It was also a snowy night, and the Ujumqin tribe was attacked by the Naiman tribe, intending to rob them of their cattle and sheep. Barbara urgently called hundreds of brothers to fight back.

However, the herdsmen were far apart, and the Naiman tribe attacked collectively. All the slaves around Babara were killed, and he was also surrounded by several enemies.

At the critical moment, Gangrisenger and Nari's two mastiffs attacked in the dark, and Nari helped Babara carry a fatal knife, and he finally killed a tartar before he died.

Having lost his partner and his master was seriously injured, Gangrisenger screamed to the sky, killed two people and injured one person with the power of a dog, and rescued Babara who was lying in a pool of blood.

From then on, Gangriseng became Babara's family member and followed Babara all the time.

"It's a good dog to protect the master!" Liu Hongjian said in a low voice after hearing this. He wanted to go up and pet him, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

The Menggu mastiff is different from the Menggu shepherd dog. The main duty of the shepherd dog is to guard the sheep and prevent them from getting lost. They are medium-sized and flexible in movement. Their tails can be used as brooms when they meet their masters.

The Menggu Mastiff is tall and mighty, with a calm and cold disposition. When it sees its owner, it doesn't sweep its tail like a shepherd dog, but at most shakes it as a greeting.

They don't need to learn any commands, even after training, they are lazy to execute commands, and they prefer verbal praise from their masters to food.

They do not eat the food provided by their family members, and when wolves attack the flock, they burst out of laziness, brave like lions, and sharp-eyed like falcons.

Grassland herdsmen can do without the shepherd dog, but they cannot do without the Menggu mastiff. The Menggu mastiff is treated as a family member of the herdsman, and it is the only livestock on the vast grassland that can be named after a person.

To this day, if riders want to get close to the herdsmen's tents, they have to shout at a distance from the tents, and dare not dismount until the owner drinks the Mongolian mastiff. This is evident.

"My lord, my dog ​​has given birth to seven, I'll give you one as a gift. They are good at guarding the house." Babara got up and said, with indescribable sincerity on his face.

Liu Hongjian owed Ujumqin a great favor, and Babara always felt that he should find an opportunity to repay him, and these bastards were the best gift for him.

That is the trust of the prairie people, and the Menggu people only give their own pups to the closest people.

PS: I’m sorry, I wanted to speed up the plot, but on a whim, I remembered a book I read many years ago, and I accidentally described it too much. The loyal dog who never doubts its owner is really a good partner of human beings.
