Chapter 1077 Sending Snow Tiger Home
Chapter 1077 Sending Snow Tiger Home
It was Mo Beihan who said:
"Don't underestimate the enemy! No matter who they are, we must take them seriously and win with minimal casualties!"
These words silenced the excited generals.
Yes, a proud army will be defeated. Even if they have more people, it is not good to be too proud.
Even if you win, it's not something to be happy about if too many people die.
Behind every soldier, there are parents and relatives who are eagerly waiting for them to return home.
Every brother who sacrifices will bring indelible pain and disaster to a family.
Everyone walked forward in silence.
It was early summer and most of the snow in the northern desert had melted. Only a thin layer of white snow remained on the mountains, while the area below was already lush and green.
Animals of all sizes shuttled through the grass and trees, occasionally startling a flock of birds, which flapped their wings and fled in panic.
It was already evening when they passed a forest and the team stopped to cook.
Qiao Ran still remembered this place. It was not far from where the kerosene was found last time.
She said to Mo Beihan:
"I want to leave for a while, send the snow tigers back to their homes, and get some kerosene."
Mo Beihan stood up without saying a word: "I'll go with you!"
The two men said something to Huang Dabiao and General Zheng, then left the team one by one on their horses.
After walking for a while, it gradually got dark. Qiao Ran took out two headlamps from the space, and the two of them put them on their heads to guide the horses.
After a short while, they arrived at the hot spring area and went straight into the hot spring pool.
Qiao Ran first released the mother and son Xuehu from the space:
"Xuehu, you're home! Let's go!"
However, the mother snow tiger did not take her child home immediately. Instead, she hesitated for a while, then licked the fur on the little snow tiger's head lovingly.
Then, in Qiao Ran's surprised eyes, the mother snow tiger picked up the little snow tiger and walked over, and actually placed the little snow tiger directly at her feet.
Then, he licked the little snow tiger affectionately again, turned around, and ran into the forest without looking back.
"This...does it mean to give the little snow tiger to me?"
Having witnessed a panda mother giving away her baby, Qiao Ran was not surprised to see the snow tiger mother leaving her cub behind. She raised her hand and picked up the little snow tiger.
"Little guy, your mother doesn't want you anymore! Just follow me from now on!"
The little snow tiger turned its head to look in the direction where the mother tiger left, until the mother tiger's back disappeared into the dark woods. Then it turned its head reluctantly and licked Qiao Ran's hand with its little tongue, as if it had already accepted its mother's arrangement.
Mo Beihan watched all this with a smile and was not too surprised.
After all, Ranran herself is a mystery, so it wouldn't be that strange if there were more strange things.
Put the little snow tiger back into the space and let it keep the panda Huahua company.
The two of them went straight to dig for kerosene.
A few months later, a lot of kerosene emerged from the ground and piled up in the pit they dug last time, until it was full and about to overflow.
They took out a dozen wooden barrels from the space, and two people, each with a shovel, quickly filled all the barrels.
These flaming oils will also be their powerful weapon in attacking the capital of Beimo.
If the city walls and gates were to be breached with manpower, too many people would have to die.
It is different if you use flaming oil. If the catapult can throw the flaming oil onto the city wall, the enemy's guards can be eliminated without any soldiers, and it will be much easier to open the city gate.
They brought more than a dozen catapults with them on this expedition, but the catapults were too heavy, and if they were pushed, it would take who knows how long it would take to reach the capital of Beimo.
Qiao Ran thought of a way to disassemble the catapults into several parts, disassemble them and put them on the carriages, and then reassemble them when they arrived at the destination. This way, they could move forward with the team, saving a lot of time.
