open sea

Chapter 517 Avalanche
Just when Magui ordered the stockpiling of food, the door to a new world opened.

They didn't kill the deer. In fact, they didn't want to kill anything with four legs. They could use it to carry luggage. The Banner Army even captured a big white bear, one big, two small and three big white bears.

As for whether the white bear is willing...it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to, the rope is connected to the left front leg and the right hind leg, and he can't run or stand up, and he can't open his mouth, so he can only be led away.

Beast, no matter how wild a beast is, where is anyone wild?
Once you understand that people are inherently mortal, whether they eat to death or freeze to death, or starve to death, the rest of the matter will be much easier to solve.

Any animal they could see could be eaten.

After the Erjin Paoche joined the wildest hunting activity of the Ming army in North America, a group of walruses basking in the sun on the ice under the Shuihu Peak were killed.

It was like an unrestrained carnival. The hunters who had prepared for a long time set up a land combat artillery formation and a bird gun team on the coast. Fat to kill.

The Banner Army began to believe that America was indeed as Chen Mu said, not only about the cold, but also about wealth—walrus ivory, which was a precious item that the wild Jurchens paid tribute to the court, also known as Shujiao.

Ma Gui doesn't care about these things, he is only grateful for the protection of the heavens, the food that he thought would take several months to obtain, is just like fighting a small-scale battle, and a huge amount of fresh meat is at his fingertips.

Because they have been fishing and hunting since they landed, they still have rice grains in their luggage. After harvesting walrus meat and picking up shells, they easily scraped together enough meat to last three months, and then continued their journey south.

With food in his hand, he didn't panic. He didn't rush to order all his subordinates to set off. Hundreds of wounded soldiers stayed in the Shuihufeng camp. Although most of them were injured, they could take care of themselves as well as others. More than 600 people prepared the luggage needed for the departure, and sent Jurchens riding deer to continue to explore south along the coast.

First explore the coastal terrain roughly, until the next foothold is found, Magui is sure to move on.

When Ma Gui was still under Ma Fang's command, Ma Fang often said that it was at this time that a battle would start a few years later--to warn these generals not to let down their vigilance.

This is the case for Ma Gui now, any frivolous decision will make them fall into a situation beyond redemption.

Riding a deer is sometimes a very unreliable thing in Ma Gui's opinion, because some of his subordinates do go out riding a deer, and they don't come back when they should come back. Run for fans and don't come back until the deer is too hungry.

There have also been cases where people were walking with sled dogs and got lost and couldn't come back at all.

But there is always someone who can come back.

In the middle of the night, the flag soldiers in the camp shouted in horror. Ma Gui, who was awakened, was so frightened that the hairs on his back exploded. What he was afraid of was not encountering the enemy, because he knew very well that there were no enemies here. With bird guns and artillery, he will not be afraid to fight any enemy in this world.

The great fear that was really hidden in his heart was Ying Xiao.

Because of this, he is deliberately separating the camps. They are in a desperate situation overseas. Even the toughest soldiers are likely to collapse at this time, not to mention that the banner troops come from various sources. feud tribe.

Once the camp roar occurs, those who are sober-minded will take this opportunity to revenge and retaliate, and those who are unclear will follow the gangs to fight, and the entire army will be abolished.

But he was in the barracks listening to the crazy shouts outside, it seemed that everyone in the camp under Shuihu Peak and the fisherman's house had been awakened, and they were all screaming frantically, which made him shudder.

Even if he came trampling with the Mongolian cavalry, he didn't feel scared now.

Putting on his clothes and jacket, he drew out his sword, and Ma Gui strode out of the barracks. When he was about to draw his sword to kill the first subordinate who saw the roaring and shouting to calm the army, he raised his head and only took a quick glance, then settled on the spot.

With a clang, the sword fell to the ground.

He looked at the bright and curved moon, saw the sky full of stars, and even saw a long green light hanging in the sky from the top of the mountain in the distance.

His people are not crazy, God is crazy.

"A vision falling from the sky?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ma Gui quietly picked up the battle sword and held it in his hand, looked back and hesitated for a moment, then walked forward with firm steps, calling for the flag soldiers to go back to the house, get dressed and come out to line up.

In China, people respect and believe in the sky, because it can bring benefits to people. The most important thing is that the ancestors said that there is always luck in the sky.

To put it bluntly, God can think whatever he wants, but don't delay my business.

If you have good weather, I will worship year after year; if you have heavy rain, I will provide disaster relief; if you make the Yellow River burst, I will block the Yellow River.

All the good things belong to you, and all the bad things belong to me.

If this is the Great Wall of Datong and the sky is exposed like this, Magui will open an altar to worship the sky and tell the soldiers that this is a warning from heaven to people, and it is estimated that the Mongols are about to invade the south.

But this is North America, and it is very difficult for them to survive, so there should be no worries about the sky.

So when the Banner Army got dressed, Ma Gui said, "Pull out the cannon, all of them."

The Banner Army was dumbfounded, and even Ma Jin couldn't figure out what his brother was going to do. Ma Gui plausibly said to the Banner Army: "A vision from the sky means that the weather has changed recently, warning us to continue heading south. Go somewhere warmer, see that mountain?"

It is God's wish to treat the enemy.

It's not easy to pull out all the cannons.

Before they set off, they had more than a dozen boats, two of which sank when they hit the ice floes while exploring the sea, and one capsized under the wind and waves, and the other one barely managed to return to the island and could not be repaired. The things on the ship were removed, and half of the ship was dismantled and left in the pirates, and then they set off.

More than a dozen ships are large ships for insurance, and the smallest grain ship is in the shape of a four-hundred-year-old blessing ship, let alone those warships that can carry a dozen guns.

Hundreds of cannons lined up in three rows at the foot of Shuihu Peak towards the high mountain in the north due to Ma Gui's order. It's smoking.

"Boom—tell God, we know."

The flag army hesitated, who would dare to move, who would dare to do the thing of bombarding the sky?
Seeing this, Ma Gui snatched the torch from the flag army, ignited the line of medicine, and carved the horse and cavalry general Zhenshuo. He shot out with a cannon. He held the sword and shouted: "I made the order." , if there is punishment, it will naturally be punished on me, you just listen to the order, boom!"

The cannons blasted out, and the ground shook—it really shook the mountain, the mountain is so far away, it doesn't matter whether the shells can reach it, but the peaks of the water lake several miles away burst into waves. Booming, snow and ice fell like clouds, and the thunderous sound caused many mountain peaks from near to far to collapse.

Fortunately, it was in another direction, and there were no mountains near them.

The majesty of heaven and earth frightened the flag army, and Ma Gui's clothes were soaked. That night, he ordered all the cannons to be hidden - he didn't plan to use them in the future.

But also that night, the Banner Army who was exploring the road in the south galloped back and brought back amazing news.
