Volume 4 Chapter 168 The Vast Snowy Land
When Bai Fei and Meiko appeared in front of Xiao Hei again with a big suitcase, Xiao Hei was very surprised. He saw that Bai Fei looked a little unnatural, especially the girl Meiko, whose face was flushed, even her clothes. They all changed their clothes.
The two of them have been in there for such a long time, so they wouldn't have done something shameful, right? It seems that this matter needs to be discussed carefully with the cousin. If she doesn't work hard, that person's heart will fly away.
"Go on." Bai Fei is not a roundworm in Xiao Hei's belly, so naturally he doesn't know what he is thinking, but from the wretched look on his face, it can be seen that he must not be thinking of anything good, so he glared fiercely. He glanced at it and threw the large suitcase in his hand towards him.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Xiao Hei caught the big suitcase before it started to fall. Unexpectedly, he just saw Bai Fei weighing it lightly in his hands. The suitcase turned out to be surprisingly heavy, which scared him. He quickly moved his strength, bending his entire upper body, and finally managed not to let the suitcase hit the ground.
With General Long's token, and knowing that the girl in front of him was the only beloved daughter of General Yu in Yunhe Mansion, she left with a suitcase, which did not arouse the suspicion of the sergeants. Although the suitcase was a bit too big, But looking at the person carrying it lightly, I guess it was just a girl's clothes and the like. How could I guess what was going on inside?
Thanks to Xiao Hei, if he were an ordinary soldier, how could he look at a suitcase weighing hundreds of kilograms without changing his expression as if it was nothing? Even others at the tip of the knife might not have such ability.
In that big suitcase, Meiko didn't actually put any of her clothes. It was filled with jewelry. The gold was too heavy, so Bai Fei didn't take any of it. As for the food stamps, he didn't even consider them, and those two The pistol was put directly into his arms. Even so, he has not taken away 10% of the 10% wealth in the secret room. He does not want to be a bad person. Whether General Long can discover this secret room in the future depends on his own destiny.
Back at the camp, when Wang Xiaohong and Shu Ya saw Bai Fei bringing Meiko back, they immediately realized something and felt slightly unhappy. Meiko was smart and well-behaved, calling her "sister" every time, and even took out the jewelry she had prepared as a meeting gift for the two of them, which made Wang Xiaohong and Shu Ya's hearts soften immediately. Thinking of the tragic changes that had happened to the other party, they softened. Her voice comforted her, causing Meiko to shed a few more tears.
Meiko naturally did not leave Zheng Shuanglan behind. After Bai Fei opened the big leather box, You Qi heard him say that it was entirely Meiko's fault. Everyone thanked Meiko with fists in their hands, making Meiko dumbfounded for a moment.
Since he agreed to Meiko, Bai Fei naturally wanted to keep her at the tip of the knife. Seeing that the atmosphere was quite harmonious, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Three days later, the Dongshengmen army set off.
A month later, the temperature was getting lower and lower, and the army had reached the edge of the vast snowy area.
In a makeshift room, Bai Fei, Ren Wei, Lao Ding, Lao Zhou, A Hai, and Lao Li gathered around the table, meditating on a map on the table. That map was the treasure map that Meiko got in the secret room. She gave the treasure map to Bai Fei the next day. She told Bai Fei that she accidentally heard from her father that the treasure indicated in the treasure map was in the snowy area.
Treasures are hard to come by, so Bai Fei doesn't pay much attention to them. The key is that this treasure map has a very detailed map of the vast snowy area, which is very important for Dongshengmen's army to pass through the snowy area. You know, when I wanted to buy a snowy map in Baiyun City, everyone I asked shook their heads and said no. Unexpectedly, they actually wanted to do this.
Extra surprise.
Lao Wu and Lao Guan walked in angrily.
They were just doing ideological mobilization. Based on the situation Dongshengmen is facing now, there is absolutely no need for them to go to this snowy area. Even if they bypass the snowy area and go directly north, I believe that the army of Xichuan Fort will obediently give way to them, just like they did for Dongshengmen II. The legion gave way. However, Bai Fei had other considerations. When he told these people a long time ago, he immediately got their approval.
The place of survival after Dongshengmen is the barbaric land in the northwest corner of the Yanyan Empire. Through the introduction of Lao Zhang and Lao Gu, Bai Fei knew that the living conditions there were extremely difficult. He wanted to take this opportunity to temper the will of the soldiers. and perseverance, so that they can become a strong army as soon as possible. Moreover, this vast snowy area is only the first step. After passing through the snowy area, they can meet up with Lao Yun's second army, and then the army will march into the death swamp, and finally reach the northwest corner of the Yanyan Empire. Only one year has been completed. Many long journeys.
The main force of Dongshengmen now only has about 20,000 troops left. Including Lao Yun's second legion, there are less than 30,000 troops. After being tempered by the vast snowy field and the death swamp, how many troops can be left in the end? Bai Fei, Ren Wei and the others I don’t know how to count in my mind, but there is no doubt that those who can successfully pass these two hurdles and reach the end must be the elite of the elite. When the time comes, when the Dongshengmen army sweeps across the entire Yanyan Empire, these people will surely Be able to be invincible and become a hero for a moment.
"How's it going? Has anyone quit?" Bai Fei asked casually.
He repeatedly told Lao Wu and Lao Guan that if someone quits, Dongshengmen will not restrict their freedom, and will also impose heavy hardships.
"According to reports, no one has chosen to leave."
Bai Fei nodded, feeling happy. He pointed at the table and said, "Look at it and think about it."
…
…
After nearly two hours of discussion, Bai Fei finally concluded.
"First, we will stay here for half a month, and we will still use the battalion as a unit to purchase or exchange supplies in surrounding cities, mainly fire and food. As for weapons and equipment, except for the lighter ones that we carry with us, we will take all the other supplies. We have already agreed with General Long to exchange with the Xichuan Fort garrison. Also, the box of jewelry will also be distributed, which can be used to exchange for the supplies we need with surrounding merchants or residents."
"Second, set up three reconnaissance companies and conduct forward reconnaissance in stages. Equip all soldiers of these three reconnaissance companies with pistols and ten magazines, bring enough food, ropes and sharp knives to clear the way for the main force. "
"Third, unify the marching team and the marching route. The three reconnaissance companies are in front, followed by us and the non-combatant team, and then march in the order of the previous forty battalions."
"Finally, the goal of the first phase is here..."
Bai Fei was at a point on the map, where there was a huge iceberg. On this treasure map, the location of the treasure is clearly marked, which is the iceberg. It does not only provide some clues like other treasure maps. Of course, the authenticity of this label has yet to be verified.
This iceberg is located in the west. Viewed from the north and south, it has not reached half of the entire snowfield. It is a full two thousand miles away from where they are now. You can imagine how vast this snowfield is. !
Moreover, from the edge of the snowy area to the iceberg, you have to pass through a vast glacier. After the glacier, you have to climb over two snowy mountains, and then pass through a snowy forest before you can reach the iceberg. You can imagine how difficult this journey is!
It’s no wonder that General Yu didn’t dare to
Easy to try!
…
…
Half a month later, everything was ready. In the early morning of that day, when the sky was slightly bright, the Dongshengmen army marched into the vast snowy area.
The wind is freezing and the ice and snow are blowing.
When the sky darkened, the vanguard arrived at the edge of the glacier.
News came from the forward reconnaissance company that the three reconnaissance companies had found a relatively safe route through the glacier for the army. For this route, more than a dozen scouts had been lost. This was because they were fully prepared. Otherwise, the casualties will be even greater.
After escaping the fierce pursuit of many armies, from now on, Dongshengmen will face the cruel test of nature.
Bai Fei decided to rest for a night on the edge of the glacier. After all, marching at night is more dangerous. Even if it is not through the glacier, it is not suitable for marching in the dark in other places in this vast snowy area. Once someone falls behind, it will basically be a disaster. Sentenced to death.
As a result, the thousands-meter-long team could only sit on the thick snow and survive the night. The snow in the snowy area was very thick. Some people tried to dig down to see if they could reach the ground, but after digging for nearly one meter, no trace of soil could be seen.
The temperature was even lower at night, so the army had no choice but to put prepared fire into a basin to light a fire to keep warm. If there was no fire, no matter how much they wore, many people might freeze to death that night.
…
…
At the edge of the glacier, surrounded by the flickering firelight, Ren Wei and others had fallen to the ground and fell asleep.
All around, people with sharp knives took turns keeping watch. In a place like this, there are no enemies, but you have to guard against the attacks of beasts in the snow. Dongsheng Gate has fire and guns. As long as you are not too careless and are attacked by beasts, there is generally no danger.
Xiaolin carried the communication equipment and was exempted from participating in the sentry by Bai Fei. At this moment, he had already fallen asleep on the communication equipment. Not far away from him, Wang Xiaohong, Shu Ya, and Zheng Shuanglan were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, but Meiko was slumped next to Wang Xiaohong, her little face turned red from the cold. For the people at the tip of the knife, after all, they have been at the heights of Hero Mountain for more than ten years. In this vast snowy area, they even enjoy this kind of experience. But Meiko is different. She has never trained before and her physical fitness is... It can't be compared to people like Daojian. Secondly, this is the first time she has experienced this kind of feeling, so naturally she can't compare with people like Daojian.
Meiko was covered in a thick velvet military uniform, so naturally Wang Xiaohong took good care of her.
Far away, in the faint firelight, a figure stood quietly, that was Bai Fei.
"Cold?"
I don't know when, Bai Fei felt something moving behind him. He turned around and saw Shu Ya walking over, and asked with a slight smile.
"It's okay." Shu Ya replied, her hands hidden in her thick coat, steam rising from her mouth.
Shu Ya was very glad that she had adapted and trained in Hero Mountain for more than ten years. Otherwise, if she was placed in the human world, she would not have any confidence to persevere under such conditions. When the time comes, she would have to be taken care of by others. This is not her What you want to see.
The two of them didn't speak anymore, they just stayed there quietly, looking at the endless dark sky.
Meiko woke up from the cold in the middle of the night and rolled her eyes. With the faint light of the fire, she saw two people cuddling quietly not far away. Their bodies were almost covered with snowflakes, like two sculptures. She looked around Everyone around them knew who those two people were.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Looking up at Wang Xiaohong who was breathing steadily, Meiko gritted her teeth and felt sleepy again. She gathered up her heavy military uniform and quickly fell asleep again.
