Chapter 508: Tell Li Mengyue about the avalanche
"Xie Ruiyuan, what happened to the Northern Border Army that made you so anxious?"
Xie Ruiyuan also had the same idea in his mind, so he did not hide it from Li Mengyue and told her what was in the secret report.
When Li Mengyue heard that an avalanche had occurred at the Northern Army’s base, she knew that something serious was going to happen.
How could she ignore such an important matter? According to the calculation of time, it has been snowing heavily in the North for some time. As the snow becomes thicker and thicker, it has reached a certain critical point. Once there is a sound, an avalanche will easily occur.
During an avalanche, the enormous force generated will directly sweep across the entire hillside, destroying all the forests and vegetation along the way.
It will also further trigger secondary disasters, such as landslides, mud-rock flows, etc., causing greater damage to the natural environment.
Snowstorms are natural disasters. Although the damage they cause to the natural environment will gradually recover in the future.
But if there are people present, it will be a different story, because a large amount of snow will quickly bury the people, so that the respiratory system will be obstructed and suffocation will occur. Sometimes the impact and pressure will cause serious trauma to the body.
It is said that in ancient times, people were backward in all aspects. Even in later times, rescue work would be difficult after an avalanche occurred.
After all, the snow in the snow-capped mountains is too thick, causing the terrain to become increasingly complex. Not to mention that rescue workers cannot reach the scene in the shortest time, even if they arrive at the scene, the rescue is extremely difficult, increasing the risk of death for the trapped people.
She remembered what Xie Ruiyuan had told her before, that the place where the northern garrison was located was surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
This kind of terrain does have certain advantages when there is no heavy snow, but it is definitely not a good thing if there is heavy snow for a long time.
It would have been fine if the garrison had been relocated in time, but if they hadn't been relocated and encountered an avalanche, the losses would have been incalculable.
"Xie Ruiyuan, what are the casualties of the army?"
"When the avalanche happened, everyone was training outside. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but all the food and supplies were buried under the snow."
Li Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that there were no casualties. If food and fodder were gone, they could still be raised, but if people were gone, then everything was gone.
But just when Li Mengyue was relieved, Xie Ruiyuan's next words made her worried again.
"Ayue, the secret report was sent from Beiling City and it has been in my hands for at least half a month. During this half month, the garrison consumed a huge amount of food and grass every day. If we only rely on the local people, we are almost out of food and ammunition. If we can't send food and grass to Beiling City in time, without the Beimo Army, the 300,000 soldiers will either starve to death or freeze to death."
"Is it really that serious?"
"It's actually more serious than I said."
"What should we do? Even if you set out now and rush to the North without sleep, it will be useless."
Xie Ruiyuan knew that what Li Mengyue said was right. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death without making any effort, watching 300,000 troops die in such a cowardly way.
"When I went to the villa before, you wanted to leave. Was it because you learned about the garrison in the North that you were in such a hurry to leave?"
"Yes."
"Then why aren't you in a hurry to leave now?"
After asking this question, Li Mengyue suddenly felt that her brain had become stupid. Didn’t she use teleportation in front of Xie Ruiyuan?
Even the two of them who appeared in the study now were teleported from the reservoir dam.
In other words, Xie Ruiyuan has experienced teleportation twice. Not only has he completely accepted it, he also has other ideas.
Sure enough, what Xie Ruiyuan said next confirmed Li Mengyue's guess.
"Ayue, I want you to use teleportation to send me to Beiling City."
"That's no problem, but after I send you there, what can you do?"
This question stumped Xie Ruiyuan. The reason why he was so anxious to go to Beiling City was to solve the problem of the 300,000-strong army.
The most important problem the army is currently facing is food and tents.
Because both food and tents are related to the lives and property of 300,000 soldiers.
Without food, the soldiers will have nothing to eat. If they don’t have enough food, they can’t even train, and they can’t even survive.
Without tents, we can only sleep in the snow and ice, but this would be unbearable for three or four days, let alone one or two months.
Although the soldiers under his command have strong willpower, they cannot stay in the snow for a long time and suffer the cold.
But no matter whether it was food or tents, he really had no way to get enough food for the 300,000 troops at the moment.
So Xie Ruiyuan looked at Li Mengyue.
"Ayue, do you have enough food? Can you spare some tents?"
"I have plenty of food, but there are only 10 million tents in the warehouse. I plan to ask you to use them for disaster relief, but I'm afraid I can't spare enough."
Hearing this, Xie Ruiyuan was not disappointed. Instead, he thought quickly about the possibility of asking his cousin Ji Jingyi to deliver the tent to Beiling City.
But after thinking about it, he found that it didn't seem very feasible.
Although his cousin had ready-made tents, transporting them to Beiling City would not be done overnight and would take at least two months.
But considering the situation in Beiling City, it cannot be delayed that long. If it really comes to that time, I'm afraid the army of Beimo will have already attacked the capital.
Xie Ruiyuan was thinking about how to transport enough tents for 300,000 troops to Beiling City in the shortest time possible.
What Li Mengyue said made Xie Ruiyuan very excited.
"Xie Ruiyuan, I haven't finished what I want to say yet, why are you so worried?"
"Ayue, do you have a better idea?"
"Of course, you don't even care who I am."
Hearing Li Mengyue say this, Xie Ruiyuan knew that he didn't have to worry about the tent anymore.
"Xie Ruiyuan, although I can't spare any ordinary tents, I still have smart tents here."
"Smart tent, what does that mean? Is it better than the tent in the warehouse?"
"Whether it is useful or not, you will know it by trying it yourself."
As she spoke, Li Mengyue took out a smart tent from the space and said directly in front of Xie Ruiyuan: "Open the smart tent."
The smart tent immediately opened the tent according to the instructions.
"Adjust to a space large enough for ten people."
Then the size of the tent was adjusted to accommodate ten people.
"open the door."
Then the door of the tent was slowly opened, Li Mengyue walked in first, followed closely by Xie Ruiyuan.
When he got to the tent, Xie Ruiyuan looked at the size of the space inside and found that it was indeed enough for ten people to stay.
And he also discovered a problem, that is, the light in the tent was the same as outside and it didn't feel dim at all.
"Ayue, why is the light in the tent no different from outside?"
"Ah, you found it."
