Chapter 275: Snow Cow

Three days later, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Quan, Zhao Feng and others who had returned from exploring the road returned to the temporary camp of the forward team. The sun just happened to paint the eternal snowfield with a brilliant golden glow, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance became more and more majestic and desolate.

At this time, the weather was surprisingly good, and there was not even a hint of wind. The view is also excellent, and you can see the blue frozen ice on the lake in the distance. Zhao Quan and the others were immediately stunned by the landscape next to the camp, which was covered with all kinds of herbivores. There are yellow sheep, wild yaks, Tibetan antelopes, wild horses, zebras, and many strange animals that they can't name, as if animals from all over the world gather here. They slowly searched for food, and from time to time they raised their heads to look at them.

Suddenly, they spotted a group of earthy yellow animals coming from afar, three or four hundred of them. When they ran up to them, they stopped and looked at them with their heads held up, a flock of yellow sheep. A little yellow sheep, which was more than half a meter long, ran up to them, its head almost next to their knees. This little yellow sheep is very beautiful, with an earthy yellow fur that is oily and shiny, and its limbs are slender, and its head is small and delicate, and its ears move deftly. The eyes, in particular, were as bright as black gemstones. It tentatively licked Ouyang Qian's blue pants with its tongue, and then raised its head to look at Ouyang Qian. Ouyang Qian happily stroked its head gently, it was not afraid at all.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was vast and sparsely populated, there were many uninhabited areas, and the animals in it almost never saw humans, and the Tubo people worshiped nature and did not dare to hunt animals casually, so the wild animals on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were not very afraid of people.

In the tent of the forward pathfinder team, a large pile of wild yak dung was lit. When the wild yak dung is burned, it exudes a strong smell with a bad smell, which is not good or bad, and after a long time, it can smell the smell of grass. Wild yak dung is very resistant to burning, and when burned, it is very hot, bringing lovely warmth to the tent. In March, the Tibetan Plateau is still a world of ice and snow, and the burning fire is a very attractive place. I really can't imagine that if it weren't for the natural resources of wild yak dung and wild horse dung, how could the soldiers of the Angel Special Operations Regiment survive the cold winter of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Performing tasks in alpine regions is very physically exerting, and if you can't keep up with nutrition, your body will soon collapse. Zhao Quan asked everyone to discuss ways to overcome difficulties.

"There are so many animals in the uninhabited area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, just near our tent, there are herds of yellow sheep, wild yaks, Tibetan antelopes, and wild horses every afternoon...... we can eat whatever we want, and we can change the taste every now and then," Ouyang Yong stood up and shouted.

"Those wild animals are so cute, what a pity to kill, I can't do it anyway." Ouyang Qian glanced at her brother Ouyang Yong and whispered her objection.

"Until the last resort, it is better to hunt as few animals as possible, after all, the entire Tubo will also be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and these wild animals will also be the wealth of our Datang in the future, we still have to cherish them as much as possible." Zhao Feng stood up and said.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then went out of the tent to breathe, and watched all kinds of animals foraging, playing, chasing, and playing, at this moment everyone forgot the cruelty of war and indulged in the natural beauty of nature.

At night, the moonlight is excellent. It can be said that the moon in the world is not as good as the moon on the Tibetan Plateau. Since there is no pollution on the Tibetan Plateau, the moon looks extraordinarily bright, as if it has been rubbed with ice and snow, and the moonlight sprinkled on the grass is also extraordinarily soft and pure. The snow-capped mountains, which are not far away, are illuminated by the moonlight like a veil, which seems distant and mysterious.

At night, they found a leopard and a bear, but they didn't mean to harm humans. The bear swayed awkwardly past their camp. One was still tickling on the camp's stake, rubbing a few tufts of black-brown hair.

They also saw the whole process of the bear catching the mouse, a dog bear staggered to the mouse hole, inspected for a while, and found another hole more than ten meters away, picked up a lot of soil to block the hole, and tamped it with its buttocks. He returned to the hole, opened the hole with his paws, stuffed his mouth and nose into the hole, and exhaled and inhaled desperately. After ten minutes, the rats came out one after another, walking unsteadily as if they were drunk. A bear came out and slapped one to death, and then enjoyed it leisurely and slowly, watching the forward pathfinders cover their mouths and secretly have fun.

At six o'clock the next day, before dawn appeared on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the team members got up, and when everyone went out to explore the road together, Ouyang Qian found a snowcow standing there on the road. So he had the courage to pick up the snow, and pulled out some dry grass, and then he stretched it out to its mouth, and it swallowed it with its tongue. Zhao Quan looked interesting, and also pulled out some dry grass, stretched out the dry grass in his hand to its mouth, and watched it eat it. The two of them picked up the snow with their hands and plucked the dead grass to feed it. Ouyang Qian stroked its ears and stroked its head again, it closed its eyes comfortably, and shook its tail easily, bearing Ouyang Qian's caresses.

"Snow cow, go home, I'll shave snow and find grass for you to eat, I've starved you these days, right?" Ouyang Qian said to Snow Cow.

Bang, Ouyang Yong fired a shot not far from them. The two of them were startled, and following the direction of Ouyang Yong's gunshot, they saw a wild yak falling on the snow thirty meters away.

The snow cow was startled and jerked back away from them. It ran up to the fallen wild yak, stood there for a few seconds, and then immediately turned around. They saw that anger made its eyes open round, and it seemed to burst out of blood, and rushed towards Ouyang Yong.

"Mom!" Ouyang Yong screamed, turned around and fled. He walked around a half-man-high rock and ran towards a stone wall. The furious Snow Bull lowered its head and slammed into the stone fiercely, but the stone was broken, and it jumped over the stone and pounced on Ouyang Yong. Behind the snow cow, nearly a hundred wild yaks all put on an angry duel posture and pounced on Ouyang Yong.

Ouyang Yong had no way to escape, Ouyang Qian followed behind the wild yak and shouted in panic: "Snow cow, brother!" ”

Ouyang Yong tried his best to escape, and the snow cows and wild yaks, driven by hatred, also tried their best to chase after them. Ouyang Yong was tired, and at an altitude of five or six thousand meters, it would be good to be able to run for three minutes. Ouyang Yong's steps became slower and slower, and the snow cow and its companion were getting closer and closer to him, five meters, three meters, and Ouyang Yong was about to be buried under the collision and trampling of the snow cow and the wild yak. Suddenly, a "bang" gunfire was particularly piercing in the silent snowfield. The snow cows and wild yaks were stunned for a moment, stopped chasing Ouyang Yong, and looked up to find the source of the gunshots.

Ouyang Qian and Zhao Quan were stunned by the gunshot.

"Bang", another gunshot, the muzzle of the gun was fired into the air.

Looking in the direction of the gunshots, they saw Zhao Feng standing on the snow with an angel rifle.

The snowbulls spotted Zhao Feng again, turned around again, lowered their heads and gasped and rushed towards him.

Ouyang Yong escaped, and stood there as if he was scared.

Zhao Feng walked around in circles with the yak while retreating towards the stone wall.

Zhao Feng was in a hurry, and found that there was a stone crack on the stone wall that could only allow people to enter sideways, so he squeezed into it desperately. The snow cow rushed to the crack in the stone, paused slightly, took a few steps back, and pointed his head at Zhao Feng in the crack of the stone, slamming into it with all his might. Ouyang Qian and Zhao Quan saw that scarlet blood flowed from the snow cow's head. The snow cow took a few more steps back, took another stance, and slammed into the crack in the stone, smashing even bigger scars on his head and bleeding more blood. The snow cow still refused to give up, took a few steps back, put on a stance, and with great hatred, slammed into the crack of the stone......

"Zhao Feng is not in danger, let's quickly hide first, and come back after the wild yak leaves." Ouyang Qian and Zhao Quan hurriedly pulled Ouyang Yong to find a place to hide.

"If it weren't for Zhao Feng, I would have made the wild yak trample into meat puree!" Ouyang Yong looked at Zhao Feng in the crack of the stone and said with emotion.

"Brother, why did you shoot that wild yak?" Ouyang Qian questioned Ouyang Yong.

"I didn't mean to, I just saw that wild yak wanted to attack me, so I shot it." Ouyang Yong hurriedly defended.

"You're big and thickly dressed, I guess that wild yak treats you like a bear." Zhao Quan made fun of Ouyang Yong.

"Will Zhao Feng be in danger?" Ouyang Qian asked worriedly.

"No, I'm going to save Zhao Feng, I'm going to change Zhao Feng!"

Ouyang Yong put the zi bomb on the load, wanting to follow Zhao Feng's example and attract the wild yak.

"Ouyang Yong, you must not shoot. If the wild yaks catch their eyes on you, they will chase them to the barracks......" Zhao Feng, who was hiding in the cracks of the stones, shouted to them.

When Zhao Quan heard this, he hurriedly dissuaded Ouyang Yong: "Ouyang Yong, don't shoot, withdraw the zi bomb!"

They held their breath and looked at Zhao Feng in the crack of the stone without blinking.

The snow cow was still slamming into the crevices of the rocks again and again, but the force was getting smaller and smaller each time, and the last few times it was almost struggling. Its head was covered in blood, and its snow-white head seemed to have been dipped in a vat of dye and dripping onto the snow. Finally, when it jumped up again, it fell heavily on the snow and could no longer jump. Immediately, another male yak followed the example of the snow cow, and again and again crashed into the stone crevice, and also burst its head and fell to death in front of the stone crevice. Another male yak took a stand and crashed into the crack......

Four or five wild yaks fell in front of the stone crevice, blocking the way for other wild yaks to continue to hit the stone crevice. They had gone around dozens of times in front of the crack in the stone before they left in a rage.

Zhao Feng got out of the crack in the stone, and he was overly nervous, and as soon as he walked out of the crack in the stone, he fell to the snow. The snow was sprinkled with the blood of wild yaks, and the bright red was extremely dazzling. Ouyang Yong ran over, knelt opposite Zhao Feng, and said, "Zhao Feng, you saved my life!" ”

Suddenly, Zhao Feng grabbed Ouyang Yong's hand and said, "Wild yaks have a strong sense of revenge, if anyone hurts their members, they will fight to the death with each other until they all die!" ”

"You said that the wild yaks will find our camp for revenge?" Zhao Quan was stunned, the strength of the wild yaks was too great, if they went crazy, the camp would definitely be scrapped.

"Zhao Feng, let's hurry up and report to the eldest grandson queen and come up with a way to deal with it!" Ouyang Qian was anxious.

They hurried to the camp, and sent people to report to the eldest grandson empress who was in the rear.

After listening to their report, Xia Xue quickly arrived with more than fifty soldiers.

After Xia Xue came to the forward camp, she inquired in detail about what happened, but she didn't say anything, she was thinking about how to deal with it.

Ouyang Qian asked, "Your Majesty, if the wild yaks really come to take revenge on us, will you give the order to fight them?" ”

"Ouyang Qian, I am a soldier now, and you are also a soldier. Our duty is to overcome all difficulties, accomplish the set combat missions, and also protect the lives and weapons of our fighters. We try not to kill animals indiscriminately, but when the situation is urgent, we must protect the lives of the soldiers as the first priority, so the soldiers must not have the kindness of women, can you understand me......" Xia Xue said slowly.

Ouyang Qian nodded heavily, she supported all the decisions of her idol.

Under Xia Xue's command, the soldiers chose the terrain, built obstacles, and arranged the formation in a trapezoidal shape, so that no matter which direction the wild yaks attacked them, they could fire to the maximum extent. Xia Xue also stipulated that all personnel were in a state of combat and were not allowed to stay in the tent. The ZI cartridge box is moved to the most convenient place to be reached, and the lid of the box is opened; The hand bullets were also taken out of the cartridge box and placed neatly one by one, and the tail caps were loosened. Xia Xue also ordered that as long as the wild yaks did not attack them, they were not allowed to shoot. Everything is under her command.

Xia Xue checked the positions one by one, added another sentry, and personally led the sentry. She wore a blue jacket and looked around with a telescope. The sentinels were also given binoculars each.

It was very overcast, and large black clouds pressed down on the snow. And the wind, neither big nor small, with a faintly audible whistling sound.

The warriors were armed with angel rifles, and their magazines were full of zigzag shells, ready for a fierce battle between man and wild yaks.

Ouyang Qian kept muttering to herself: "Yak, you must not come." If you come, none of you will survive. ”

Ouyang Yong reprimanded Ouyang Qian impatiently: "Sister, what are you nervous about, we are facing an enemy who has violated us. ”

Ouyang Qian didn't dare to mumble.

"Your Majesty, here they are!" A sentry took off his binoculars and pointed to a ravine to the east.

Finally, they saw a herd of wild yaks rushing out of the canyon on the edge of the sky, galloping towards them. The snow hail splashed by the four hooves filled a large area of the sky.

"Get ready for battle!" Xia Xue commanded in a deep voice.

Facing the direction from which the wild yaks were running, they were holding angel rifles and waiting for them. With a sound of pulling the bolt, all the guns were loaded.

"Don't shoot without my orders!" Xia Xue repeated it loudly again.

The wild yaks are getting closer and closer to them, 800 meters, 700 meters, 600 meters, 500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters......

"Fire!" Xia Xue snorted, picked up the angel rifle, and shot it at the head of the wild yak at the front. The wild yak bounced and fell to the snow.

With the sound of Xia Xue's gunfire, more than sixty of their angel rifles fired in unison, and more than sixty tongues of fire sprayed towards the wild yak herd.

With the sound of Xia Xue's gunshots, the heads of more than 30 wild yaks that rushed to the front were all pierced by ZI bullets, and more than 20 wild yaks were shot in their bodies and continued to run wildly. There was another burst of gunfire, and more than 30 wild yaks fell to their huge bodies. In just two minutes, nearly 100 wild yaks all fell on the snow. The white snow was melted by the blood of wild yaks, and the clear morning air was filled with the smell of wild yak blood.

Ouyang Qian was in front of the position, looking at the one hundred and ten wild yaks that had fallen to death, her mood was extremely heavy, and she didn't know what to say.

Almost all of these wild yaks were hit through the head by bullets, and some were shot several times. A few others did not die, but fell to the ground and kicked their hooves on all four.

Xia Xue walked over and whispered to Zhao Quan: "These wild yaks that were killed can't be wasted, they are a good energy supply. Send someone to send a message to the rear troops, let them bring more baggage wagons, pull these wild yak carcasses back to the rear camp to improve the food of the soldiers, and your forward pathfinder team will also leave one head to improve the food of your dozen subordinates. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Quan happily ran to arrange it.

Xia Xue turned to Ouyang Qian, who was in a daze, and said, "Many times, people do things that they don't want to do. ”

Ouyang Qian held Xia Xue's hand and said, "Your Majesty did the right thing, we are soldiers after all." ”
