In the fluttering wind and snow, the troops of the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security are camping under a leeward cliff.
The climate in the alpine mountainous area is harsh and changeable, sometimes sunny, sometimes windy and snowy, which made the security forces of the Qinghe Army suffer a lot.
This snowstorm has been falling for two full days, except for those lonely rocks and trees, the field of vision is completely white.
The wind and snow covered up the traces of the barbarians' activities, making Guo Wei and his troops lose their targets.
They had to temporarily stop and rest under this leeward cliff, and sent out scouts to search for traces of the enemy.
The blazing bonfire dispelled the severe cold, and the Qinghe army brothers wrapped in sheepskin jackets gathered together, and broth was simmering in the iron pot.
The brothers of the Public Security Seventh Banner Regiment under the command of Guo Wei chased all the way into the hinterland of the barbarians, and wiped out many barbarian tribes, and captured a lot.
The military rations they carried had already been eaten up, and for the past two months, they have been like barbarians, eating some captured dried meat.
These mutton and beef jerky were as dry and hard as stones, and the brothers from the Qinghe Army's Seventh Banner Regiment had difficulty adapting at first.
Fortunately, the brothers quickly found a solution, which is to stew with mountain spring water and dried meat, so that not only can you eat meat, but you can also drink steaming soup.
Just as Guo Wei, the deputy commander of the Security Corps, and Gu Xingteng, the commander of the Seventh Banner of Security, were guessing the possible location of the barbarians on the spread out simple map, there was a loud noise in the distance.
"Master Deputy Legion Commander, Master Banner Commander, the fifth scout team is back." A vigilant sentry rushed over quickly from a distance.
"Let them come over."
Hearing that the scout team had returned, Guo Wei and Gu Xingteng also showed joy on their faces, hoping to hear some good news.
They chased the barbarian chief to the hinterland of the barbarian's sphere of influence. It can be said that they fought in a completely unfamiliar area.
Fortunately, the tribes of the barbarians are relatively scattered, and each tribe of the barbarians does not have many soldiers capable of fighting, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong, which gives them a chance to defeat them individually.
Now the sudden blizzard made them lose track of the barbarians, and they didn't have a map of the barbarian areas. If it weren't for the guides of the captives who led the way, they would have been lost in the barbarian areas.
Soon, more than a dozen scout brothers from the Seventh Banner Regiment of Security, whose faces were purple with cold, came down to the cliff surrounded by everyone.
"I have seen the deputy head of the army and the head of the banner."
The sheepskin jackets of these scouts were covered with wind and snow. They held hands that were red from the cold, stood up and saluted the two officers with fists and chests crossed.
"Sit down and enjoy the fire."
Seeing the dozen or so brothers whose cheeks were purple and stiff from the cold, Guo Wei and Gu Xingteng hurriedly got up and made way for them to warm up around the fire.
"Bring the wine and warm them up."
Guo Wei ordered to his personal guard, who untied a water bag from his body and handed it over.
When Guo Wei and the others led their troops into the barbarian area, they brought some high-concentration alcohol with them.
These wines were also produced by the Far East Empire, and their main function was to disinfect the wounds of the wounded.
The climate in the alpine mountainous area is harsh, especially after going deep into the hinterland of the barbarian area, the weather becomes colder and colder.
These wines, which were originally used to disinfect the wounds of the wounded, have become a treasure to keep out the cold.
However, in the past two months, the wounded and the brothers kept out the cold, and the alcohol they carried had been exhausted, leaving only Guo Wei with a water bag.
"Take a sip to warm up your body."
Guo Wei handed the water bag containing the wine to the brothers of the scout team and asked them to take a sip.
"Thank you, Deputy Commander."
These more than a dozen scout brothers knew the value of wine, and after thanking them, each took a sip.
Gu Xingteng, head of the Seventh Banner of Public Security, asked them to serve each of them a large bowl of broth, and asked them to talk while eating.
"Did you find anything when you went out this time?"
Seeing the scout brothers holding a big bowl and drinking broth, Guo Wei asked.
"Master Deputy Legion Commander, we found a river valley more than 30 miles north of here."
"There are quite a few tents set up in the valley, roughly estimated to be two to three thousand." The scout leader said.
After hearing what the scouts said, Guo Wei, the deputy head of the army, also had a look of joy on his face.
The dried meat seized by the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security was almost exhausted, and now they suddenly discovered a large tribe of barbarians, it was simply God helping them.
According to their previous experience, in such a barbarian tribe with two to three thousand tents, there are at most a thousand soldiers capable of fighting.
Although the barbarians are fearless in battle, they lack sufficient cooperation, and most of them are brave.
"Destroy this barbarian tribe, and find out the surrounding situation by the way."
Guo Wei and the others went deep into the hinterland of the barbarians, a land that no one from the Far East had ever set foot in.
While they wiped out many barbarian tribes along the way, they also captured many barbarian captives and drew some simple maps along the way.
Although these simple maps are only part of the barbarian area, they also opened a new door to the Far Eastern Empire.
Although most of the barbarian areas are alpine areas with harsh climates, there are still some river valley areas suitable for grazing and planting.
The vast majority of barbarian tribes are also distributed in these valley areas, making a living through grazing, planting and hunting.
It's just that compared to the developed commercial economy of the Far East Empire, the barbarian areas are relatively backward.
Especially the weapons and equipment of the barbarians are extremely backward. Some elite barbarian warriors only use iron weapons, and a considerable part of the barbarians use some simple bone spears, wooden spears and other weapons.
It is precisely because of this that the Seventh Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army under the command of Guo Wei was able to defeat the barbarian army and hit the barbarian's hinterland all the way.
Gu Xingteng, head of the Seventh Banner of Security, felt that it would be risky to attack such a large tribe with their 2,000 troops, but they had no way out.
If this barbarian tribe is not destroyed, they will face the risk of running out of food.
Although there are many wild beasts in this mountain area that they can hunt and kill, after all, two thousand people have to eat every day, and hunting alone is not enough.
Moreover, they are now chasing the traces of the barbarian great chief. If they don't capture some prisoners, they will not be able to understand the surrounding terrain, especially because the wind and snow have caused them to lose the enemy's trace and direction, and they urgently need new guides.
"The whole army is ready, set off in an hour!"
Guo Wei and the others were also swift and resolute people. They decided to destroy this barbarian tribe and quickly deployed them.
? Two thousand brothers who were exhausted from the Security Banner Regiment heard that they were going to fight the barbarian tribe, and each of them lifted their spirits again.
Although they all looked skinny, the murderous aura permeating their bodies still made people shudder. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
