Chapter 95: The Unlucky Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion
This team is the Imperial Army's pursuers who have been searching all the way, that is, the bloodthirsty Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion.
If the revolutionary army knew that there were imperial pursuers behind them, they didn't know whether they should be happy at this time, because it was this sudden snowstorm that blocked the footsteps of this pursuer, otherwise with the current marching speed of the revolutionary army, it is estimated that it would have been chased by this wolf-like pursuer at this time.
But there are not so many ifs in the world, although the combat effectiveness of this bloodthirsty iron wolf pioneer battalion can be said to be almost invincible in the entire empire, but in the face of the power of nature, it can still only choose to wait.
At this time, in a large tent in the center of the valley, Huo Lei, who had been promoted to lieutenant colonel because of the breakthrough of Mingguang Castle, completely lost his previous high-spirited appearance.
Lieutenant Colonel Horley, who had wrapped himself tightly in a marching blanket, peeked out of the gap in the blanket with a pair of gloomy and worried eyes under the dim oil lamp.
By the dim light of the oil lamp, Lieutenant Colonel Horley struggled to look at a rough sketch of the march.
Looking at the sporadic markings and simple contour lines above, this should be a map of the remaining veins on the northern side of the Great Snow Mountains of the Kharbu Tart.
However, this map is not like the standard imperial military map, it should be made improvised by the staff officers of the army before entering the Great Snow Mountain, although those illustrations are not much wrong, but now that the snow is closing the mountain, this sketch based on simple intelligence will not help Lieutenant Colonel Hooray much at all, but it makes him even more hesitant.
"It's not at all suitable to march in this kind of terrain at this time, it's strange whether these damn rebels are crazy or stupid, choosing to enter this snowy mountain at this time is tantamount to suicide."
After looking at the simple military map for a while, Lieutenant Colonel Horley's head became bigger, and he crumpled the military map into a ball in annoyance and threw it aside, and quickly retracted his hand into the blanket again.
"Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, maybe this group of rebels wants to run over the snow-capped mountains of Kharbu to a neighboring country, but there is ......"
The adjutant who was tightly wrapped in a blanket next to Lieutenant Colonel Horley tentatively said his thoughts, but he didn't dare to say it in a vague way about the neighboring country, because the words "Revolution * Life Temple" were the biggest taboo in the Blue Flag Empire at this time.
"This is impossible, the holy mountain cannot be crossed at this time!"
Before Lieutenant Colonel Holley could answer, another man in a thick mink coat in the tent spoke first.
"Oh? Leader Ludong Gampo, can you be sure that no one has ever crossed the Great Snow Mountain of the Kharbu Tart? ”
Hearing the words of this person named Ludong Ganbu who was so sure, Lieutenant Colonel Huo Lei couldn't help but ask.
"Well, Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, although I live in the Central Plains all the year round, I am still very clear about this sacred mountain on the Yiyan Plateau, and it is hard to say whether anyone can climb over the past in other seasons, but in this season, if someone wants to climb over this holy mountain, it is simply a suicide, because at this time, the cold and lack of oxygen on the top of the mountain, even the most majestic golden eagle on the grassland cannot fly, let alone people."
Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Huo Lei's questioning, Ludong Ganbu carefully explained the reason.
"That's strange, if this snowy mountain can't be crossed, what are these damn rebels doing here, is it because they are desperate or panicked?"
Ludong Gampo's explanation made the people in the tent unable to figure out the purpose of this group of rebels, but anyway, since the superiors had strictly ordered that this remnant rebel army must be dealt with this time, and clearly asked to get the head of that damn Oprah, they could only continue to endure the cold and go into the mountains to encircle and suppress, although everyone knew that if the weather was not good, such a task would be completely an unlucky task of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves.
"Your Excellency, I still have the same request, I will do my best to help you this time, but I want at least half of the head to pay tribute to my brother."
Ludong Ganbu didn't want to dwell on this issue, because it didn't have much to do with him, but he was the most desperate person here to get rid of these rebels, because his brother was the pine cone Ganbu who died under Terry's gun.
"Leader Ludong Ganbu, don't worry about this, I'm Horay. Bamble did what he said, we just had to take the head of the rebel army back and report it, and the rest of the soldiers and serfs would be at your disposal, but when this damn blizzard is over, I hope the supplies you promised will reach my troops in time. ”
Lieutenant Colonel Huo Lei agreed to Ludong Gampo's request without hesitation, but still reminded Ludong Gampo, after all, that was the reason why he chose to cooperate with this "dirty" native.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, we steppe people are all the people of the great god Jeda, no one will deceive friends with words, I believe that when it is dawn tomorrow, my horse team will arrive here."
Ludong Gampo stood up and covered his chest and promised.
"That's good, happy cooperation!"
Seeing Ludong Ganbu so sure, Lieutenant Colonel Huo Lei, who was still a little troubled, was also relieved, instantly felt less cold, and also stood up, ripped off the blanket on his body, stretched out his white-gloved palm and shook it with Ludong Ganbu.
At the same time, Terry, who has passed through the tunnel again, is worried about the entrance that has been completely blocked by snow.
"How can this be, could it be that in the past few days that I have been in the Republic of Takiria, the sky has fallen on this side of the Great Snow Mountain?"
Thinking that when I came in before, this cave entrance was at least 2-3 meters high, but now it was completely sealed by thick snow, although it should be night outside, so I couldn't see how thick the snow that sealed the cave entrance was, but the snow that slipped in along the cave entrance was ten meters, looking at this sloping new snow slope, Terry knew that the snow that sealed the cave entrance was definitely not something that human beings could pick up in a short time.
However, despite the large amount of work required to remove the snow, Terry had no other way but to smile bitterly, eat some food first, and then take out the sapper shovel and honestly climb down the slope to the top of the cave entrance, and begin to experience the physical work of digging a snow cave again.
Fortunately, since the last avalanche was buried alive, Terry is now "experienced" in digging snow holes, and quickly found a suitable location for excavation, so there will be no embarrassing scene of soft snow digging more and more at this time.
A few hours later, Terry didn't look at the time anyway, but when he felt the sapper shovel penetrate the snow again, a faint light came through the snow wall in front of him, and the entrance to the cave was already dawn.
Maybe it was last night's strong wind that blew away the dark clouds that were hovering in the north of the Great Snow Mountain, but the sky was rare today.
When Terry got out of the snow cave he had dug, he saw that the sky above the cliff had appeared white, and above the white sky, a few traces of red clouds filled the sky like ribbons.
"Ribbon Cloud, it seems that the god Jada knows that I am coming, and it won't snow again in the next few days. Haha, otherwise I wouldn't know how to go back to the Major General. ”
The current Terry is also a plateau pass. Of course, he knew very well what this cloud in the sky represented, so he was also relieved at this time.
Seeing the snow that sealed the entrance to the cave just now, he knew how fierce the wind and snow had been in the past few days, and if it hadn't cleared up at this time, even if he had the system, it would be difficult for him to get out of this mountain range in that kind of heavy snowstorm.
