Batu Zarigli watched his apprentice Zhang Xiaoguang put the last snow brick on the top of the snow house, and a small snow house that could only accommodate two people was built. This igloo is copied from the Inuit snow hut on the Arctic ice field, which is a unique skill to live in the ice field area, the principle is simple, but the actual operation is not easy, two people who have undergone this training, with the help of some clever small machines, can build a snow hut that can accommodate two people in an hour, but if it is a new hand, I am afraid that it will not be good to build it overnight. It was only after Batu Zazhigree was sold to the model army that he saw this yurt made of ice and snow.

Further north (in the Aleutian Islands in another time and space), the whaling fleet discovered a denser area of whales, which they named the "Whale Sea", where they discovered the archipelago of large bears with snow-white fur and named them the "White Bear Islands", and established several strongholds on these islands for shelter from the wind and simple maintenance of the boats. There were also some wild people on the islands who lived by hunting, and the whaling fleets traded with them, and the skills of building snow huts were learned from those people with things like muskets and metal knives.

This was originally just a small business in the whaling department, but when the intelligence was reported, it was taken seriously by Zheng Sen. He believes that this technology can greatly improve the combat capability of the model army in cold regions. Allows the Model Army to expand in the Alpine region.

The General Staff of the Model Army actually did not think so, they felt that in order to solve the problem of Jianxuan, they only needed to wait until the summer, and then concentrate the army, along the Daliao River, all the way to the past. So learning this technique seems to be of limited use. They did not know that Zheng Sen's ambitions for the region further north, almost the entire vast land of Siberia. In their eyes, it's just a useless barren land. However, Zheng Sen, who came from later generations, knew how many treasures there were under that ice field. And because of logistical difficulties, (and this is also true for the Russians), no one can afford to commit too many troops in the area, so whoever can afford to put in a small number of troops can control an unimaginably large territory. Therefore, in fact, the sled unit of the Model Army was not actually established for the Manchus, who were only a whetstone.

In order to keep warm, the door of the snow room is very low, so people can only climb in. Batu Zazhigree climbed inside and covered the snow with a large white bear skin, which the whaling fleet had brought from the White Bear Islands, and it was warmer than the usual fur. Zhang Xiaoguang also got in, and tonight, the two of them lived in this snow room.

At first, Batu Zarigeri thought it would be very cold to live in a snowroom, but it turned out to be far warmer than the yurt he was used to. After people enter the house, the heat generated will melt the ice and snow a little, and the melted ice water seeps into the cracks of the snow bricks, and then condenses again, sealing the original gaps, and the whole room cannot be blown in by any wind, which is very warm.

As for those sled dogs, they are not treated so well, they can only stay outside. However, Batu Zazhigre and the others also dug some holes in the snow for these dogs, they can rely on it to escape the cold wind, and they have thick hair, so they are not afraid of the cold.

The assault team spent the night peacefully in the snowfield, and continued on the road early the next morning, but the situation on the road still exceeded Yang Wannian's expectations, and it was not until about three o'clock in the afternoon that they approached Liaoyang and saw the first village.

It was already close to Liaoyang, and since Nurhachi occupied the area, it had become the core area of Later Jin, Manchu rule. For a long time, the Ming army has almost never been able to threaten this area anymore, so the Manchu villages in this area pay more attention to the efficiency of production than the defense in the face of the attack of the enemy team, so the defense of this village is far from being compared with the Manchu villages near Niuzhuang Fort.

According to the map and the information provided by Dolgon, this is a village with a yellow flag, and there are about 1,000 people in the Zhuangzi. Because of the safe environment, the village does not have the tall and sturdy walls of the Jianzhi village near Niuzhuang Fort, only a one-zhang high earthen wall to prevent wild beasts from entering. Of course, there are no defensive trenches filled with sharp sticks and drawbridges for entry and exit.

The assault team stopped behind a hill, and Yang Wannian, with a few soldiers, climbed the hill and overlooked the village. From here, it is possible to look beyond the walls of the village and see inside.

"What's that?" Yang Wannian's hand holding the telescope shook violently, and he almost couldn't hold the telescope. He was breathing heavily, his face flushed.

"Battalion commander, what's wrong?" A soldier asked.

Yang Wannian took a long breath and handed the binoculars to the soldier, while gritting his teeth and scolding, "Damn dog Tartar!" ”

The soldier who didn't know why turned out to look over there condescendingly, and then gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn dog Tartar, you should cut them all with a thousand cuts!" ”

"What's wrong?" The other soldiers asked in surprise.

"Those dog tartars are eating people! Eat our people! The soldier said as he handed the binoculars to the other soldiers, and then said to Yang Wannian: "Battalion commander, let's go into Zhuangzi immediately, and kill him without leaving a chicken dog!" ”

At this time, there was actually some grain stored in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but everyone knew that these grains could not last the next year's grain harvest. So the slaughter of the "superfluous" coatings has already begun. Slaughtering these coatings not only saves food, but they themselves are a good source of protein. After the snowfall, the land was frozen, and the defense facilities or farmland water conservancy that were originally needed to build these "superfluous" coats could not even be built. So after the heavy snow fell, the slaughter of the clothed slaves began.

At this time, Yang Wannian calmed down, he looked at the sky and said: "It will be dark soon, and as soon as it gets dark, we will ...... immediately."
