Chapter 194: Smooth Rescue Operation

The process of rescuing the Jiuli brothers was unusually smooth.

Because of this unexpected snowstorm, most of the tribes had to spread out as much as possible across the grasslands.

After all, under the cover of heavy snow, the tribe that raised a large number of cattle, sheep and horses could not carry out long-distance grazing.

As a result, they had to stay away from other tribes, so that their cattle and sheep could scrape through the snow and eat some buried hay within a short distance of their tents, so that they would not be able to live together on a large scale.

And, another major reason that forced the tribes to disperse was the lack of trees in the steppe!

Without trees, there is a lack of fuel, and most of the time they have to rely on collecting cow dung cakes for fuel.

In fact, the tribe with a large number of cattle and sheep did not lack food in this white disaster, and a large number of cattle and sheep that were frozen to death were piled up there, and the herdsmen could not eat them all.

They can only be frozen as hard as stones in the snow, and then wait until the beginning of spring when the temperature warms up and gradually decays, and even causes a terrible plague, bringing another subsequent disaster to the grassland.

And a large number of cattle and sheep do not have enough forage, naturally there is no to pull, there is no cow dung cake as fuel, those herdsmen hide in cowhide tents, let alone cook, in the bitter cold environment of more than minus 40 degrees, they can't even do heating!

Therefore, the vast majority of Turkic herders were not starved to death, but froze to death!

This scattered environment made the "rescue operation" launched by the dragoon guards in units of 100 people go smoothly as if they were out camping.

Aside from the need to resist the harsh environment, there is hardly any decent resistance...... The few Turkic warriors who have the ability to resist are all shivering from the cold, and the knives are thrown like rattles in their hands, what combat power can they be expected to have?

Not to mention that the dragoon guards, regardless of their men and horses, were shrouded in invulnerable steel-scaled dragon armor, standing there and not moving, letting them use the rattle knife method to slash the defense.

In addition, it was mainly the sled convoys that followed the dragoons to give up resistance in desperation.

Hundreds of steppe wolves pulling carts, staring at you in a circle with green light in their eyes, ask if you are moved?

The herdsmen usually say with tears in their eyes, "Don't dare to move!" Don't dare to move! I'll lie down, you can do whatever you like! It's better than freezing to death in a frozen tent!

This situation made the dragoon guards who had fought bloody battles with the Turks a little speechless.

It was too easy, and they all began to wonder what they were doing this trip.

It seems to be accompanying the sled transport team driven by the disciples of the [Royal Beast Gate] to a designated place.

They only need to act like bodyguards, ensure the safety of the disciples of the [Wuji Gate], and supervise the Turkic laborers to dismantle their tribes, even if they are tents, animal skins, and carry them back together.

But the problem is that the Dragoon Guards feel that without them, the disciples of the [Royal Beast Gate] themselves can do this job very well...... Surrounded by hundreds of steppe wolves, those Turks are more obedient than sheep, and they can do whatever they want!

Moreover, compared to the Turkic people, who were about to freeze hard, although they also had to move in a very cold environment of more than -40 degrees Celsius.

The cold is definitely quite cold, but because of the existence of the "Tongbei Snow Road", their range of activities usually does not exceed the distance of more than a day from the transfer station, and if the rescue process goes well, they can even rush back to the transfer station for dinner.

I have to say that the large number of steppe wolves who were subdued by Xuanqi Xingjun are so easy to use to drag the ice climbing plow, and it is like flying in the snow!

Even if they run a little farther and need to spend the night in the field, the camping equipment carried in the expensive set of "military multi-functional tactical backpacks" can ensure that they sleep in the snow without feeling how difficult it is.

Best of all, because you are traveling with a sled convoy, if you accidentally encounter extreme weather such as a blizzard.

The disciples of the [Imperial Beast Gate] will also take out a kind of immortal scroll that was given by the Xuanqi Star Monarch and used to save their lives in extreme environments, called [Polar Snow Room] and [Adaptation to the Environment]!

Because this kind of immortal scroll is extremely rare, only the leading disciple of each sled transport team can enjoy one.

Therefore, there are only a few unlucky teams that accidentally encountered a snowstorm during the rescue process and experienced the wonders of these two immortal methods.

It is said that the Polar Snow Room is a magical method that can conjure up a round house made of snow walls in the wilderness and snow, which they can hide in to escape a blizzard.

And the immortal method called [Adaptation to the Environment], after being cast, can make them adapt to the environment of ice and snow, even if they are stripped naked and roll in the snow, they will not feel cold at all.

As supplies from the rear were transported into the snowfield, they were filled into the transit station camps along the way.

More and more Turkic laborers, dead and alive, mules, horses, cattle and sheep were also continuously transported back to the rear, and the rescue progress was accelerating more and more.

This is because a large number of Turkic laborers, who were transported back to the base camp of Yuanlou Town through the transit station one by one, were quickly put into the process of road construction.

With the construction of roads, a large number of grain, forage and other materials have been continuously transported from the Central Plains.

A large number of civilian mercenary groups also gradually rushed to Yuanlou Town, and gradually penetrated into the snow field through the transfer station to launch a rescue operation against the Jiuli brothers.

One branch after another, with each transfer station as the core, began to extend to both sides of the north snow road into the grassland, and the size of the sled transport team became larger and larger as more and more wolves were attracted to join the "sled wolves" group!

This has led to a natural disaster environment in the Turkic steppe, which is obviously cold and frozen, but on the contrary, it seems to be thriving and extremely lively.

After a large number of live mules, horses, cattle and sheep were transported back to the base camp of Yuanlou Town, they were divided up by the merchants organized by the Financial Chamber of Commerce who sent the supplies and sent them back to the Central Plains to sell them at a good price.

A large number of frozen dead livestock carcasses were also quickly processed into various products after being transported back to the base camp in Yuanlou Town.

Needless to say, the meat is marinated and smoked into delicious cured meat and smoked meat, and then sent back to the large ice storage prepared by the Taiji Imperial City for storage for disaster preparedness.

Leather and fur are processed into various leather products on the spot, mainly "military multi-functional tactical backpacks", which are sold locally to members of civilian mercenary groups.
