C3397 and General Yili Rong Quans master (1/2)

The higher the mountain, the harder it was for them to breathe. Of course, they didn't know that this was called a plateau reaction, but there was no lack of discomfort.

Although in the late Qing Dynasty, the quality of the people in the Baji plummeted greatly, many of the officers in military positions were unable to draw back their bows, unable to shoot arrows or even ride inferior horses.

However, Tongzhi was still the ruler of a nation after all. All the guards he brought along to travel were carefully selected, and could be considered as generals picked out from a large group of small animals.

Guan Lu and Duo Luo both trained in the Martial Arts since they were young, and even Guan Lu was carefully taught a lesson by the ancestor of the Forbidden City.

His physical fitness was very good, and he had even practiced Internal Martial Arts in some cases. He was able to endure this high altitude reaction.

On the other hand, the Gurkha mercenaries hired by the Expedition lived at an even higher altitude than this place. There was no problem with the response from the highlands of Tian Shan.

As a soldier, Gordon was more or less able to hold on. Although Sai Mouerbeike had a lot of exploration experience, but his physical fitness was slightly lacking and he would not be able to walk very fast.

A few British civil officials who were with them also showed different degrees of reaction. At this moment, they had already become a burden to the entire Expedition!

”Cut wood, tie up sleds... ”Drag them away!”

Strangely, people's potential was always forced out. These Manchu who were born in this stage suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and all the Talent Skills left behind by their ancestors were released.

Ice and Snow ability, this was a bloodline Inherent skill that came from the Manchu in the Dark Water of White Mountain. It was the cold and harsh fighting body of the Eight Banner Ancestors that had endured bitter battles.

The truth was that all popinjays were fake popinjays who were used to bad habits given by good people. Once they reached a critical point in life, they would not care about their own lives. They would all risk their lives to come out with a way out.

Not only that, they could even save people!

After digging through the snow and snow to cut down the small branches, the palace guards soon produced two suggested snow plows. The thick tree trunks cut off the bark, and they cut it as smooth as they could with their steel daggers.

”Take your teammates and leave …” As we walked, we plowed through the snow. We really are pigs, we had to use horses to support all the supplies. Why didn't we allow Malachy to climb through the plows?! ”

”I really need to go outside to train for the winter. I can't lose sight of the Old Ancestor's craftsmanship …”

The snowclimbing plow was really urgent, the supplies were on the horses' backs, the horses were often tired and had to walk on layers of snow. However, once the supplies were unloaded and placed on the sledge, the horses immediately felt much more relaxed.

He pulled the snow plow and glided in the snow. Indeed, the resistance was much smaller!

Sai Mouerbeike sighed, lay on the snow plow and said, ”Blame me, I really didn't plan to call Central Asia … To think that it would be the same as an expedition to the polar regions … ”Uhh …” I don't have any experience! ”

”Stop talking and save some strength to cross the mountain pass. As long as you cross the mountain pass and walk further down, your illness will be much better …”

It was unknown when Expedition's painful march started, but along the way, the number of team members that fell became more and more, and the number of temporary sledges also increased.

When Expedition saw the entrance to Ala Mountain, the entire Expedition was already riding on the snow and climbing ploughs. Even if there was no reaction from the plateau, all the people were already sitting on their horses and climbing on the snow.

”See the boundary stone at the Ala Mountain Pass! ”Once we pass the mountain pass, we will reach the northern border. We are finally safe …”

”Hold...” ”Let's go, we've finally escaped …”

After passing through the mountain pass, they circled all the way down. This time, the dismounted team was even more energetic. Their speed became faster and faster, to the point that they even flipped cars a few times.

After walking for four days and four nights, on the morning of the fifth day, the Expedition continued to move forward. Suddenly, a few black spots appeared on the snowy plains in the north.

The next moment, hundreds of black spots began to expand as a large group of cavalrymen began to rush towards them, trampling on the snow!
