Chapter 780: The Yak Eight Winds Don't Move
I only heard the sound of "bald purr" coming from behind, and the mountaineers of those international columns turned their heads to look, and their red faces immediately turned white!
It turns out that this group of things is surging in, they know!
They are a group of rats, a kind of rat endemic to the snowy plateau, and have a terrifying name - the alpine rat.
Their size is commensurate with the "Shuo" in their names, and adult rats are on par with the Tibetan mastiff.
The coat of this alpine rat has a strong color-changing function, which is green in summer, yellow in autumn, and white in winter.
However, in the depths of winter, they rarely come out and go into hibernation like other animals that have hibernation habits.
During hibernation, be sure not to disturb them, otherwise it will be a big problem.
Rats that are disturbed will become extremely irritable, and will immediately attack whether they see humans or animals! It is better to attack alone, but they are afraid of group attacks, and the attacked person basically has no possibility of escaping.
What's even more terrifying than being attacked is that they will eat the target of the attack!
As a result, many people think that when they get up from hibernation, they are actually hungry!
That's why they were so frightened to see such a large number and a swarm of mountain rats attacking them.
Fortunately, there are so many rats that are active alone, and if you eat them all, I'm afraid you won't be full, right?
The frightened defenders immediately abandoned their positions, and without even thinking about it, they jumped down from the third stone barrier and fell into the encirclement of the Heavenly Army!
It is estimated that in their subconscious, they were killed by the Heavenly Army. Or being a prisoner of the Heavenly Army is much better than being eaten by these mountain rats!
The strange thing is that none of these rats have eaten or bitten any of them today, but they just drove the defenders away and let them run to the heavenly army, and they stopped pursuing.
And that's not all, they are still standing on the stone ridge, neatly lined up. Pay attention to the soldiers of the Celestial Army and capture the members of these international columns alive one by one.
When the last person is also subdued. The rats squeaked and jumped up and down with joy, as if they had met some great event.
At this time, two mountain rats came out of the back. Said hello to Mai Ke.
Mai Ke knows. This is a support unit from the Holy Mountain. And those birds of prey.
And as soon as the two mountain rats greeted, they also explained the cause and effect clearly.
It turns out that at the very beginning, these auxiliaries drove the enemy out of their hiding places. Helped the Celestial Army conquer the most complicated part of the cave.
After all the events, they did not look at the excitement, but as before, they carried out the routine activities of occupying the mountain as kings.
As a result, they met these alpine rats, which were hibernating.
So two mountain rats were sent to the front area to subdue them.
Communication between animals was much simpler than that of humans, and the two mountain mice immediately gained the wholehearted approval and full support of these giant rats.
So, with close cooperation, the first battle was to help the Heavenly Army solve a big enemy, a small mountain mouse, a behemoth and a huge mouse, staged a good show, and drove these enemies into the hands of the Heavenly Army.
However, from the third cave, there were still five enemies, all of whom were from the Snake Clan, including Snake Big, Snake Three, Snake Fifteen, Snake Sixteen, and Snake Seventeen.
They run away because they are not afraid of rats at all, whether they are as small as mountain rats or as big as mountain rats.
When the rats scared the people away, they made their way through the rats and into the heart of the mountains.
The Celestial Army did the same as it did after the occupation of the First Cave, leaving some of the soldiers to garrison the Cave, while the others withdrew to the First Camp, which was the temporary headquarters of the Celestial Army.
Snake Da and Snake Three fled back to the second cave, and reported the defeat of the third cave to She's Ling, and everyone agreed that the next target of the Heavenly Army should be the second cave.
Now the defenses of the second hole are more perfect, and it is originally a series of the most special defenses, and it is difficult for the Heavenly Army to break through the loopholes.
The only Zhang Zhidong believes that any cave, at any time, may be attacked by the Heavenly Army, because according to his personal experience, according to that Mai Ke, it is too bad to play chess.
Before he could finish speaking, he received a report from Cave 4 that the Celestial Army was approaching them, and it seemed that they were going to attack their defensive area.
Hearing that the Heavenly Army intended to attack the No. 4 Cave, Zuo Zongtang sneered;
Hmph! This time you're finally asking for your own misery and throwing yourself into the net!
It turns out that this No. 4 cave is a unique natural landscape.
The biggest feature there is that it is windy, and no matter what season it is, it is a violent mountain wind raging all year round!
Winter in particular seems to be more violent than other seasons.
In terms of the intensity of the wind, the wind here is less than the highest level of 12, which is about 10, and if it blows on land, it can uproot large trees.
But the mountain wind here is not only a problem of the wind, but also a problem of the foothold of people who come here to resist the wind.
This is either the roller ice of the previous year, or the frozen soil of 10,000 years, which has been blown by the ten-level violent mountain wind for many years, and has long been as hard as iron and smooth as a mirror.
And it's on a ridge, and it's as sharp as a knife, so it's called "Blade Peak".
Stepping on the smooth and mirror-like blade peak, bearing the fierce blowing of the ten-level wind, not to mention a person, even a person will be blown away.
Therefore, Zuo Zongtang and the others couldn't help but gloat when they heard that the Heavenly Army was going to take this natural danger.
In order to make this No. 4 cave an impenetrable line of defense, so that no one could cross this line of defense, and go to the upper fourth cave, Snake 4 made a special trip to the Eskimo living circle near the Arctic Circle, and collected 1,000 special forces stationed in this cave from there.
These Eskimos entered the Arctic region from Asia through two great migrations in ancient times, during which they experienced a history of about 4,000 years.
Because of the harsh climate and harsh environment there, they are basically struggling on the death line, and it is really amazing that they can survive and reproduce.
Their daily lives have to face unimaginable difficulties. For example, they have to face months or even months of dark nights, and withstand freezing and snowstorms that can be tens of degrees Celsius.
In the summer, he is busy in the turbulent sea, and in the winter, he struggles with the drifting ice floe.
They often use only a light boat and other simple tools to fight the largest whale on the planet, or a pike, or even a bare hand, to take on one of the most ferocious animals on land, the polar bear.
If you can't catch the prey, the whole family, the whole village, and even the whole tribe will starve to death.
Therefore. The Eskimos are undoubtedly the toughest, most tenacious, bravest and most resilient people.
And these people. It has also become the first choice for Snake Four.
These 1,000 people, all of them are fierce, and the weapons in their hands are just a shuttle standard. But it is different from the general shuttle mark. At the top of the pibbed. There is also a lasso, which is a special tool for them to catch bears and catch fish.
With this weapon, they can be as needed. Or prick the prey to death, or trap the prey alive.
These people are the best even among the Eskimos, because they all have a special skill of being able to move in snow and ice, even on smooth ground like a mirror.
This ability seems incredible to others, but it seems natural to them.
The reason is simple - they are all barefoot, so the soles of their feet are directly in contact with the ice, and they can freely attach to them without slipping and falling due to detachment.
And any other tool, or shoe made of any material, no matter how high-quality, is always separated by a layer, so that it cannot be perfectly connected to the ice, so that when the wind blows, the person leaves the ground.
Because, Zuo Zongtang and Zhang Zhidong's defense on the fourth hole is particularly confident, even if they are worried about the defense of other caves.
The external environment, which could not be based on it at all, and the fierce warriors who came out of the polar regions, cut off the hope of the success of the heavenly army from both inside and outside.
Moreover, the ridges outside were impossible for the Celestials, but they were flat on the Eskimos, and could attack them at will.
In order to overcome this extremely special No. 4 cave, Mai Ke also took two measures.
The first measure was to select 1,500 people from among the new pilgrims to the sacred mountain, and these people also had experience in climbing snow-capped mountains, at least with the help of tools and facilities, to climb to Cave No. 4.
Bazaar became a commando leader, and he played a key role in the selection of the team members, all of whom were from the nearby village cottages, often together for mountain climbing, hunting, and familiar with each other.
Of course, more importantly, they used to participate in various religious activities together, and now they are Christians together.
So, they are all elated now, and they are happy to be selected into the commando team to carry out this more challenging conquest for the kingdom of heaven together.
Their equipment is the best at the moment, and there are high-tech equipment unique to Heaven.
For example, the winter clothing specially developed for them.
This kind of cold-proof clothing, like the performance of other cold-proof clothing used by the heavenly army, is that the aging is extended by three times, and it can last for at least eight hours without consuming the wearer's own body temperature.
There is also an ice axe, which can be easily chiseled through whether it is ice or rock, providing a support point for the commandos.
Then there is the safety rope, which automatically connects the whole team of 1,500 people.
In the event of danger, all personnel use ice axes together, and they are connected to each other, which can basically avoid the possibility of falling into the valley.
With these preparations, Bazaar received the task and immediately set off with his assault team.
In fact, the time of his sudden attack was almost the same as the time of the attack on the first cave, because the fourth cave was on top of the first cave, a distance of 1,500 meters.
There was no Glacier Boat in the First Cave, nor was the Raptor in the Third Cave to mount, so although they were on the same time of departure, they did not arrive until both caves were finished.
When they set off, Mai Ke told them that they must wait until the other way arrives and then cooperate together.
The other way is Mai Ke's second measure.
The protagonist of the second measure is the yak!
The yak is known as the boat of the mountains, and it is not in vain.
This is not only because they are hard-working and can carry heavy loads on long distances, but also because they can withstand strong winds!
Since it is a mountain boat, when you can't let the wind blow gently, you will turn over immediately. Then it will be a boat at the bottom of the mountain.
Therefore, as the name suggests, the boat of the mountains itself has the meaning of not being afraid of the wind, because since it is a high mountain, it is impossible to be without the mountain wind, and the higher the mountain, the stronger the wind.
The title of yak, the mountain boat, comes from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which naturally means that it can resist the mountain wind of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Right now. In the Animal Alliance of the Celestial Army. There were already a large number of yaks, and the first yaks joined in the time of the capture of the Naga mountain fortress.
Later, more yaks joined in succession, but more recently they have joined in large numbers by yaks that block the trains of the Celestial Army. It was the Celestial Army attacking Camp One.
From this large number of yak reserves. Mai Ke chose three thousand. Participated in this attack on Cave No. 4.
Of course, Mai Ke doesn't have to do such a thing by himself. He asked the clouded leopard to do it.
As for the clouded leopard, it is more capable of being a shopkeeper than Mai Ke, and it didn't stay in its hands for a second, and it was handed over to an old yak, which is naturally the leader of the yak.
The three thousand yaks were immediately selected, and the son of the old yak became the team leader.
In fact, the old yak didn't know if this guy was his son, but the guy said yes, and he couldn't deny it.
Originally, the old yak wanted to go by himself, but he was hit by the guy who claimed to be his son, and had to admit defeat.
In fact, the so-called selection is very simple, it is to find an opponent, collide with two bulls, and win or lose.
Although the old yak is the leader, if he wants to go, he can't get privileges, and he has to be selected.
After these yaks were selected, they did not need to prepare, they set off immediately, earlier than the bazaar, they did not have those flowers, and basically relied on their natural instincts.
However, although they had left early, they arrived later than the Bazaars, for they had to make a detour to reach the Blade Peak in Cave Four.
Because they are only mountain boats, not mountain boats, they can only climb up, not fly up, so the only way to go up directly - the straight cliff - is not something they can climb.
Therefore, they had to take a detour, first to the ridge to the east, and from there gradually to the west, to the main peak, where they climbed to the Blade Peak, and then trekked three miles on the Blade Peak to reach Cave 4.
Although the yaks can walk in this harsh environment and resist the violent mountain winds to avoid being blown to the bottom of the valley, they are very difficult and greatly slow down their travel.
In the most difficult stage, they can only move inch by inch! Only the mountain boat can have such perseverance and perseverance.
Even so, as we approached Hole 4, there was a particularly steep peak, only two cow's hooves wide, and cliffs on both sides, and there was an accident.
There is a particularly fat yak, usually the most ferocious, but also the most courageous, because its hooves are larger than other cows, but as a result, one foot down, deviated from the center, the whole body suddenly tilted, the huge body is upside down, and it falls off the cliff!
This yak was indeed a hero, and even so, it was silent, and after about a minute, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.
Although the yaks were sad that the rabbits and foxes died, their actions were not affected in the slightest, and they continued to move forward, only more carefully.
The yaks that fell off the cliff have taught everyone enough lessons, and they don't want to experience it for themselves.
But at this time, the bazaar couldn't wait and had already begun to act.
When they were climbing, they did not feel the strong wind because they had not yet reached the ridge, and when they reached the vicinity of Cave 4, they waited for five minutes and did not see the shadow of the yak, so they were a little breathless.
Someone took action first on the building.
Bazaar was careless for a while, forgot about Mai Ke's advice, and sent two squads to go up first.
These two classes are all young men with strong blood, and when they received the order, they jumped out with a snort!
But they despise the coercion of nature!
The seemingly harmless mountain below has suddenly become infinitely powerful!
The ten people who went up in the first class were immediately blown off the ground with their feet off the ground, and their heads and feet turned over on their heels!
The ice, which was already difficult to stand on, had lost its foundation, and they were immediately blown away by the mountain wind like duckweed, and a platform more than ten meters long reached the edge in an instant, without the slightest stop, and directly blew down the cliff!
Although these people were also moving around along the way, trying to grab something that would stop them from falling into the abyss, all their efforts were to no avail!
All ten people in the first class, and they were reimbursed like that!
The second class witnessed the fate of the first class, and after going up, they crouched tightly on the ground, not daring to move, but waited for a little quiet, and hurried back.
The good news is that their exposed target has triggered the killing of the Eskimos, and if you don't move, they can move, and not only do they move, but they also force you to move.
Hearing only a howl, a group of Eskimos jumped out, I don't know how many, I saw them all barefoot and barefoot, walking on the ice like flying, and in an instant came to these heavenly troops, shining pike stabbed head-on!
Actually, they want to catch them alive!
But these soldiers don't know, they only saw the shuttle, but they didn't see the lasso next to the shuttle.
The commandos crouching on the ground subconsciously wanted to hide when they saw that their lives were in danger.
But this evasion, but forget the situation they are in, they must be down-to-earth!
As long as they are out of the field, the tyrannical mountain wind will immediately plunge them into a catastrophe!
Just when they were just moving, the mountain wind took advantage of the situation and blew them all over, and in the next moment, the first five people to move were all blown down into the abyss!
There are five people in the back, although they moved a little late, and they were also blown by the mountain wind, and they also rolled in the same direction, and the same fate awaited them!
That's when the mountain boat yak arrived!
A few yaks strode up and stopped in front of these few soldiers who were dying immediately, preventing them from continuing to roll down the cliff!
Then more yaks poured onto this platform, and the mountain wind was no longer raging.
(To be continued......)
