"No!"

Acton categorically rejected the proposal.

"The longest hook rope we carry is only two feet, and the distance between many protruding points here is more than three feet!"

Wobasi nodded, "The terrain is not that ideal, but we can still use ice axes between the protruding points. According to the school's teachings, the altitude here must be more than four thousand meters. The higher you go up, the cooler the temperature will be.

It’s the middle of winter now, and the ice must be frozen solid”

"Try it at the bottom first. If you can use an ice ax on the rock wall between the first few protruding points, there will definitely be no problem on the top. With spiked boots, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Acton seemed to hear something, "Do you want to go up in person?"

"Yes, I am only sixteen years old, my body has not yet fully grown, and my weight is light. Besides, we have practiced climbing snow mountains for more than half a year, and we will eventually use it."

"No, if anything happens, I can't bear the responsibility! Just choose a thinner soldier to go up."

But Ubasi shook his head, "The Great Khan once said that he just sat in this position by chance. To this country, the importance of the word Truqin is much higher than him, even the Great Khan is like this.

What about us people?"

Acton wanted to say something else, but a conversation he had when he met Chu Huer suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Acton"

"The end will be here"

"Who do you think is the most important within our country?"

"Of course I'm sweating profusely"

"Well, that's good, but you've also heard about some of our country's history, right?"

"What you are referring to is..."

"To tell you the truth, before the emergence of the Great Khan, our country had only one highly popular Khan, and that was Ayuqi Khan. Before and after that, once the previous Great Khan died, his uncles, brothers, and nephews fought openly and secretly around the throne.

, they were all fighting fiercely"

"When our troops arrived here, there were less than 200,000 people. After conquering and accepting some tribes, the population increased by 60,000 to around 300,000. However, in the past hundred years, it has roughly maintained this number."

"The environment here is much better than that of Mobei and Lake Balkhash. It is said that the population should multiply several times. Although our country has participated in the Russian foreign wars many times and lost a lot of young people, in the final analysis it is still caused by internal fighting.

”

"This was even more true after Ayuqi Khan. There were heavy casualties within the tribe. Why? It wasn't because after a hundred years of reproduction, there were too many direct descendants of the first Great Khan and Orluk. Anyone among them had even the slightest talent to fight with them.

All brave men will be eyeing the throne of Khan"

"After the funeral of Lashi Khan, the situation created by Kitard Khan was far better than that of Ayuqi Khan, but the situation in our country is still unstable. Why? Because our country is still a vassal state of the powerful Russia. Although it has made some small achievements,

But it is still far from being able to deal with the Russians alone."

"After the restructuring of Lamaism and the nationalization of most herders, the situation has improved, but threats still exist."

"Didn't the Great Khan have several sons?"

"Although he said this, he and Wobaxi are from the same mother, and Wobaxi is much older than his son. What's more, although the current situation has been achieved through hard work, many herdsmen still miss the past.

Status"

"Ahem, what your lord means is that these people put this kind of nostalgia on Huntaiji..."

"Shh..., I didn't mean that"

"..."

When he thought of what Chu Huer said to him, Acton suddenly had a strange idea in his heart.

"Huntaiji, I'd better go up there. Where can I get Huntaiji up there in person?"

Wobasi shook his head, "I have decided."

As he said that, he had already changed into ice boots with iron nails, and then put a large bundle of ropes on his back. After trying it on the cliff at the bottom of the mountain, he smiled and said: "It seems that we are lucky, the ice is frozen hard."

, can fully support my weight”

After saying that, he climbed up.

He was like an ape, using ice picks, ice nails, and hooks to climb up. If the distance between two protruding points was short, he would first throw on the hook and hook the ice layer above the protruding points.

Climb up directly on the rope after the prison.

If the distance between them was too far, he would use spike boots, ice spikes, and ice axes to slowly move up. Every time he reached a protruding point, he would break through the ice and drive a barbed ice spike into the rock peak.

, then tie the rope on it, and then put yourself on the rope.

Just like this, I slowly climbed up, and after about two hours, it turned into a black spot.

Halfway through the climb, Wobasi came to a rock that protruded more outward and was about one meter wide. At this time, a strong wind hit him and blew him to and fro. If it weren't for the spiked boots under his feet, they were firmly embedded in

On the ice, he will definitely be blown off.

At this time, the temperature above was probably several degrees lower than below. If he hadn't been so hot all the way up, he would have been unable to hold on.

After setting down the ice spikes and fixing the rope, he was ready to take a rest here.

He took out the thermometer made of glass and mercury in the Khanate and saw that it was minus 25 degrees, while at the bottom of the mountain it was more than ten degrees below zero. According to the knowledge he gained from Truqin School, he obviously did not climb to the kilometer.

The reason why the temperature dropped so much is because there is no shelter and the wind is strong.

He did not dare to look around for too long, so he quickly turned around, facing the ice cliff, and took out the cigarettes from Russia given to him by Kitard.

While smoking silently, his thoughts suddenly began to increase.

First there was a moment of sadness.

"I am Huntaiji of the Khanate. In the past, I would have been the second-largest figure after the Great Khan, and the natural successor to the throne of Khan. But it is obviously not the case now. I am probably not as good as him in the eyes of the Chinese people.

Those ministers can only be as good as the brigade commanders at most."

"If it were the same as in the past, would Acton be able to do such a thing? It can be seen that he is just pretending to do it by himself, and he will not really do it for me."

"Is this the situation that the Khanate has developed to this day?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

I also think of the death of my father Khan Lash.

"Although he was killed by a stray bullet from the Bashkirs, the only people present at the time were Chu Huer and his men. At that time, Father Khan was surrounded by several extremely powerful warriors who also had short weapons in their hands.

It is impossible for all guns to be hit by stray bullets"

"There are still a very few people who say that it was Chu Huer who killed his father Khan because his father had hindered Kitard's dream of coming to power as soon as possible. Of course, this theory has almost disappeared now. Judging from the results, Kitard

It is indeed much better than Father Khan”

"Kitard has always exaggerated Russia as being extremely powerful. In my opinion, a Truchin brigade is worth a Russian division. If the main force of the Russians is attracted to a certain place, it is very likely that they will be gathered together.

And to annihilate them, it is very possible to launch a few more such battles and drive them back to the dark forest."

"Now it seems that he is using a strong enemy to unite the internal forces. I have to say that his move is very effective and effective."

"But my father Khan died in vain? But then again, even if Kitard arranged for Chuhu'er to kill him, what can I do? Avenge my father Khan? Don't even think about it, and the great cause of the Khanate

In comparison, Father Khan is really insignificant"

"But I just can't get over it"

After thinking for a long time, he took out a kettle from his pocket, then took out the fried noodles, took a sip of water, and then continued to climb up.

At the foot of the mountain, Acton looked complicated.

He hoped that Wobaxi could climb to the top of the mountain as soon as possible, but some inappropriate thoughts came to him and he was restless, so he simply took out a cigarette and started smoking.

There was very little wind at the foot of the mountain, so he smoked one cigarette after another. People who didn't know better thought he was worried about Wo Baxi's safety.

I don’t know how long it took, but a burst of cheers came.

A soldier ran over.

"Brigadier, Huntaiji succeeded!"

"Oh?"

He stood up and looked at his watch. It was already close to two o'clock in the afternoon. Wobasi went up at eight o'clock in the morning, which meant that it took him nearly six hours to get there!

And this distance is only one mile at most!

A strong climbing rope is hung against the rock wall. Since it is fixed on ice spikes at regular intervals, it only sways slightly in the wind.

Since Wobasi has already laid the foundation, they can grab the rope and climb up one by one. According to the results of daily training, a qualified mountain regiment soldier can use spiked boots to climb to the top of the mountain in just fifteen minutes.

Four people can go up in one hour.

There are still four or five hours before dark, which means that we can get a platoon before dark!

A platoon is the largest force to attack Yingzui Cliff!

A short and sharp man came over. He was a platoon leader of the battalion where Wobasi served as the battalion commander. He first paid a military salute to Acton, and then said: "Brigadier Commander, we can't let the battalion commander stay up there alone."

It’s been too long, I went first”

"According to the battalion commander's previous arrangement, my platoon will go up first."
