Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 234: Desert March

His feet moved again, and under the moonlight, Jia Rong could see clearly that the sand surface under his feet moved slightly.

"Quicksand", Jia Rong exclaimed.

Fear climbed up all over his body in an instant. If it was daytime, Jia Rong's face could be seen to turn pale the moment he saw the sand flow.

"All run back, hurry up!" Jia Rong said hurriedly.

The sand in the middle of the team formed a small vortex with lightning speed, and the surrounding sand gathered towards the vortex. As more and more sand was added, the speed of the vortex became faster and faster.

As soon as the words fell, the quicksand had spread to Jia Rong's feet. It seemed that the quicksand also knew the truth of capturing the thief first.

Everyone has also discovered this situation. No matter how firm their minds are, seeing such a strange scene makes chills stand on end. Unknown death is the most terrifying thing. The strange vortex disintegrates the morale of the team.

Without Jia Rong's order again, after a moment of stunned, everyone scrambled to run in all directions.

Jia Rong also stepped up his pace and headed towards the direction he came from. Running, he found that he couldn't move anymore. He looked down, and at some point, the sand had already buried his calf, and he was moving with the naked eye. The speed sank into the sand, fortunately the vortex was far away from him, and the capital would be swallowed in an instant.

Jia Rong struggled to step forward, but couldn't lift his feet. He let out a long sigh. Could it be that the enemy didn't take his own life but was going to be buried in the desert? In just a moment, the sand had reached Jia Rong's knees. Do you succumb in front of me?

"No! You must not give in!" Jia Rong gritted his teeth and tried his best to crawl out of the quicksand, but his body still couldn't stop the downward trend. For the first time, Jia Rong found that his strength was so small.

Not only Jia Rong, but also many soldiers are struggling, eyes wide open, looking at the sand under their feet in disbelief, really don't understand why the sand flows, and why they suck themselves in, one by one about the fairy Stories of demons floated in their minds, and hysterical cries rose from their throats.

The soldiers in the center of the vortex were sucked into the vortex before they even had time to scream, and disappeared out of thin air.

Many soldiers who were running away heard the howling behind them, slowed down and looked back. Just one glance was enough to make them unforgettable for a lifetime, and they ran farther away at the fastest speed in their lives.

Jiang Yu was lucky to be on the outermost edge. After receiving Jia Rong's order, he ran away immediately. Hearing the cries behind him, he looked back worriedly. He saw Jia Rong who was struggling with just one glance, and stopped in his tracks immediately. , rushed towards Jia Rong without hesitation.

Jiang Yu's abnormal behavior attracted the attention of many fleeing soldiers. After seeing the situation clearly, he followed Jiang Yu's steps closely without hesitation. From the firm eyes in their red eyes, he could see his determination not to leave The danger of life is in the eyes, how much courage is needed, they can die, but that person must live.

In just a moment, more than [-] soldiers rushed in the direction of Jia Rong, and the momentum of death as if they were at home rushed straight into the sky, and the fear brought by the quicksand dissipated a lot.

Not far away, Wei Fu kept struggling with both hands, tears couldn't stop falling, and kept calling Jia Rong's name. She was held tightly by Ma Teng's wife and Xiao Ma Chao, and Wei Fu's eyes blinked. Staring at Jia Rong's direction without blinking, he even forgot to run away, and was dragged away by Ma Teng's family.

When Jiang Yu and the others rushed to Jia Rong not far away regardless of the quicksand, the quicksand had already buried Jia Rong's thigh. On the other hand, Jia Rong's expression was neither sad nor happy, as if he was stunned by the sudden disaster. From the perspective of the soldiers, it was not the case. Jia Rong's calmness made the soldiers who rushed over feel at ease for no reason.

Only Jia Rong himself understands that struggling in the quicksand will only make him fall faster, and if he doesn't move, the situation will be better.

The quicksand was scary, but more and more soldiers came towards Jia Rong.

Jiang Yu was quick to wit, and ordered all the soldiers who came to the rescue to take off their clothes, tied them together, and threw them in the direction of Jia Rong. Through the moonlight, one could see that a whirlpool of quicksand was five or six miles away from Jia Rong. The place at a distance of [-] meters was rotating at a high speed, which happened to be in the direction of the team's advance. Several soldiers were swallowed by quicksand before they came and shouted. Human life was extremely fragile in front of nature.

Jia Rong grabbed the thrown shirt tightly and nodded. Jiang Yu tried his best to pull the other end out. The quicksand made his ankle sink into the sand, but the power of the quicksand has weakened a lot here, so it didn't have much impact.

There is heaven on one side, and hell on the other. Heaven is on the other side of the whirlpool, and hell is inside the whirlpool.

The soldiers behind him either pulled Jiang Yu or grabbed his clothes tightly, and dragged him to the distance. Jia Rong felt the huge force coming from his hands, and shook his head helplessly. If he pulled like this, he might break his legs. There is no effect, just for a while, the quicksand has reached the waist, I believe it will swallow Jia Rong completely in a short time.

Regardless of the danger, a soldier resolutely jumped to Jia Rong's side and held Jia Rong's falling body tightly with both hands. The body of the soldier was falling at an accelerated rate.

Jia Rong grabbed the soldier's arms with one hand, and said in a choked tone, "Zhao Ying, let's go out together!"

Zhao Ying shook his head, broke free from Jia Rong's arm, and suddenly lifted Jia Rong upwards, his face flushed from suffocation, and he shouted in a low voice: "There is no Zhao Ying in the army, but there must be a general!"

Jia Rong's tears flowed out like a flood, and Jia Rong found that there were too many things that moved him in the army. These brothers are worth entrusting for life.

"No, we are brothers, brothers who live together and die together." After speaking, Jia Rong grabbed Zhao Ying's arm tightly again, pulled the clothes Jiang Yu handed over with his left hand, and grabbed Zhao Ying's arm tightly with his right hand.

Suddenly, the body that had just been raised a little bit slipped down into the sand again.

With tears in his eyes, Zhao Ying persuaded: "General, don't do this. Zhao Ying's life is to be a general."

Not far away, the soldiers who were working hard saw this scene, their eyes were flushed. Jia Rong always regarded them as brothers. Hearing and seeing it with his own eyes is another feeling. I don’t know how many people are facing the danger of their lives. He gave up on his subordinates without looking back.

But Jia Rong didn't talk about comforting them, but really regarded them as brothers.

Seeing that Jia Rong was still unable to pull him up, Jiang Yu became anxious, let go of his hand holding the shirt and was about to go in Jia Rong's direction, but was grabbed by the soldiers next to him.

Without extra words, the soldier just nodded, and then Jiang Yu, who was left behind with red eyes, ran towards Jia Rong without hesitation, ignoring the invasion of quicksand, at the same time, five or six soldiers moved towards Jia Rong at the same time and go.

It wasn't that Jiang Yu was reluctant to give up his life, he understood what the soldiers meant from their eyes.

After delaying for a while, the quicksand climbed up Jia Rong's waist again. On the other hand, Zhao Ying's situation was more serious than Jia Rong's. The sand had already reached his chest, but his hands were still holding Jia Rong's body tightly, in a strange and awkward posture. Touching.

In the end, Jia Rong chose to remain silent. Among the rescued soldiers, three were engulfed in sand on the road, struggling in vain.

"In order not to cause more brothers to jump to the quicksand because of me, cooperate." Jia Rong sighed.

Three or four soldiers came to Jia Rong's side, and pulled Jia Rong upwards with all their strength. Jiang Yu and the others cooperated very well in pulling the rope made of clothes. During one push and one pull, Jia Rong's body gradually broke away from the quicksand, but The clothes on the legs were all scratched by the sand, hanging on the legs in strands, traces of blood flowed out, and the whole leg looked like it had been dyed with red ink.

Jia Rong was rescued, but the five soldiers remained in the quicksand forever. They struggled in the sand, but couldn't stop the quicksand from swallowing them, and gradually disappeared without a trace, but their faces were full of confusion. Smiling with tears, this is the scene when five Xiliang Army soldiers died.

After escaping from the danger zone, everyone was surprisingly silent. They were moved by the spirit of the five soldiers and ashamed of their actions. In the face of real life and death, who can choose to lose their life without hesitation? Who can face death with a smile.

The five soldiers died, but their smiles remained deeply in Jia Rong's mind, recalling the little things just now, unconsciously, Jia Rong's face was full of tears

The quicksand this time reduced the team to 300 people. Fortunately, the water source and dried meat were not lost, so there is no need to worry about basic daily necessities.

"The dead are long gone. The best way to let the dead rest in peace is for the living to live hard and make their deaths worthwhile. Only continuous struggle can make all sacrifices meaningful." Jia Rong held tightly Fist, constantly admonishing himself.

"Geng Bi, I will definitely let you pay with blood!" Jia Rong's complaints towards Geng Bi had reached an indescribable level, and he wished to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Seeing Jia Rong come back surrounded by several soldiers, Wei Fu threw herself into Jia Rong's arms with tears all over her face, crying loudly. At the moment Jia Rong fell into the quicksand, Wei Fu felt that the world changed in that instant. If Jia Rong left here, Wei Fu felt that she would lose the desire to continue living. Now that Jia Rong came back, she was happy and sad, and that feeling made people cry with joy.

Jia Rong patted Wei Fu on the back tenderly, comforting Wei Fu. The soldiers around him watched all this with wide eyes. In the era when men and women were inseparable, even after they got married, men and women could not have sex in public. However, Jia Rong's behavior subverted their cognition.

Many soldiers turned around knowingly, but more Qiang soldiers stared at the two people in the field intently. Qiang people worship the strong, and whatever the strong do is justified.
