Chapter 15: migrate
Ye Suge brought Mongkok and others over, and Hadan Batel guided them to board the Command vehicle. These rough men were stunned by the images on the electronic display screen. In their understanding, only Changshengtian had such a perspective, overlooking all living beings on the grassland.
Qin Sword needs to confirm the next steps with Ye Suge.
In front of the monitoring screen of the unmanned aerial vehicle, Mongkok grabbed his beard and shouted, "Bring our grassland warriors and use our sabre to snatch the grassland!"
Shu Chi Tai and Nei Kun Tai Shi also echoed their agreement. They believed that with the help of Ye Suge, Anda, and the messengers of Changshengtian, they were already an invincible presence on the grassland.
Tuo Duo, who rarely spoke, raised his own question: "With so much Pasture grass, how many ox carts do we need to transport it from such a distant place in the icy snow?"
Yes, transporting in this kind of weather using an ox cart is almost like ants gnawing on a cow bone.
After pondering for a while, he finally asked Qin Sword, "Anda, you must have a better way!"
Qin Sword finally revealed his and Hadan Batel's plan: relocation.
The Herder people move with the seasons, following the water and grass, for basic survival and reproduction. The prosperity of livestock symbolizes a bountiful harvest and abundance.
When the grass on the grassland is eaten up, the herders have to move to find a place with water and grass. In order to prosper the livestock, they may have to move (migrate) several times a year.
But they haven't migrated yet this season. Moreover, they are also worried about whether the troops will still have combat effectiveness after a long journey in the ice and snow? Will they be defeated by the Jin cavalry, who are waiting at ease, instead of gaining the upper hand?
The winter in Mongolia is very cold, with temperatures possibly dropping to minus thirty or forty degrees. In such a cold environment, outdoor survival is extremely difficult. In this weather, traveling hundreds of miles may result in numerous elderly and weak people and livestock not reaching their destination, and their souls being taken by Tengri.
However, if they don't travel, the current pasture grass reserves cannot support so many cattle and horses. When the stored forage runs out, these livestock will also starve to death! Without the herdsmen's cattle, camels, and horses, it's like the Han people losing their land. Without their means of survival, the consequences are even more unpredictable!
Hadan Batel suggestion: The elderly, weak, sick, and some cattle, calves, and lambs will remain here temporarily, while the majority of the people will migrate.
Ye Suge They agreed after discussing it.
In this way, the Qin Sword battalion also needs to be divided into two parts. One part, chariot, will follow the migrate team to seize the Jin people's grassland and eliminate the defenders there, while the other part will stay behind to defend the remaining troops here.
Qin Sword command: First Lieutenant Luo Zhengguo leads a platoon to defend here, while the rest of the vehicles and supplies will depart with the main migrate force.
After three days of preparation, the day of the move finally arrived. The yurt and felt yurt were dismantled, and all the necessary tools were loaded onto ox carts and camels. The hunting dogs ran back and forth, helping the herdsmen maintain order among the cattle and sheep.
The migrating people were divided into several teams, slowly moving forward. Their Qin Swords cleared the way ahead, and they occasionally helped pull ox carts out of snowdrifts and mud pits.
He Lun and his six-month-old son Genghis Khan sat on an ox cart, tightly wrapped in sheepskin felt. Little Genghis Khan couldn't understand why their tribe had to travel hundreds of miles over ice and snow.
Wuerbo's ox cart was very luxurious and much larger, with a canopy and thick cowhide covering the outside. The spacious carriage allowed for sitting, lying, and resting, and was equipped with a stove burning cow dung for warmth. Not only could it provide heat, but servants could also serve hot milk tea at any time.
Even so, the old woman with a face full of wrinkles and fierce eyes kept cursing Ye Suge and praying for her grandson Taroko National Park to replace him soon...
The team moved forward in a grand and slow manner, without raising any dust, only the snowflakes kicked up by the horse hooves, a magnificent yet arduous sight that was truly awe-inspiring.
The team only traveled a little over 100 miles in a whole day. As night fell, the temporary camp was filled with burning campfires everywhere, the only way they could withstand the severe cold outdoors.
Despite this, cries could still be heard from time to time, as some people lost their frail loved ones in the harsh cold.
Taroko National Park People gathered around the bonfire and cursed incessantly, but they were not cursing the terrible weather, but Ye Suge.
On the third day, the scout Hadan Batel reported to the middle of the team, Qin Sword and Ye Suge: "The vanguard is less than fifty miles from the target. If we continue forward, we may encounter Jin scouts and cavalry!"
Qin Sword Command: All chariots move forward, discover the gold cavalry scouts for long-range sniping! After approaching the enemy camp, launch a surprise attack, never giving them the chance to discover our motives and burn our provisions.
