Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 235: Desert March

After a long time, Wei Fu in her arms also realized the abruptness of her behavior, she broke away from Jia Rong's embrace, and ran away with a flushed face. .

Jia Rong coughed lightly and said, "Let's find a safe place to rest, and we will go on our way when the sky is light." No matter how thick-skinned he was, his face was still slightly hot when surrounded by a group of old men.

"I, Jia Rong, will never forget the brothers who died to save me tonight. Their names will be forever recorded on the tomb of heroes. Their families will not worry about food and clothing, and their children will not have to worry about going to school. As long as the Xiliang army is here, they will not treat the families of these dead brothers badly." Jia Rong said with a heavy tone.

Speaking of this matter, many soldiers were very moved, and the joyful atmosphere stopped. They joined the army for fame and fortune, and for their families. Jia Rong took care of the family members of the deceased unprecedentedly generously, especially the representatives of the Xiliang Army. Glorious tomb of heroes.

The Tomb of Heroes was once considered the best home for soldiers of the Xiliang Army. In addition, the Xiliang Army has always treated soldiers who died on the battlefield very generously, which made the Xiliang Army still have a transcendent combat effectiveness and cohesion after expanding in size.

Personality charm will affect the combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, but there will never be any actual benefits. Only by making soldiers feel at ease about what is going on behind them can they truly win their allegiance. Why do deserters appear on the battlefield? Courage is one aspect, more What's more is the worry about what's behind.

Ma Teng kept silent all the time, because he was fleeing with his family when the incident happened, and he was not even with the soldiers under his command, nor did he go to rescue Jia Rong regardless of life and death. I have to say that the behavior of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army once again It shocked him, the spirit of the soldiers uniting as one and not sacrificing for the sake of the general. He claimed that he did not have such a big influence.

It has been more than a year since he joined Geng Bi's army, and this is the first time Ma Teng has seen such a team.

The crescent moon hanging in the sky finally came out of the faint dark clouds and sprinkled the moonlight on the desert. The moonlight was still as pale as paper, but the difference was that there were many fewer people standing in the desert.

The leg injury was not serious, but a layer of skin was broken. After a little treatment, Jia Rong arranged for soldiers in charge of vigilance, dragged his tired body to the sand dunes not far away, and sat there quietly , Recalling the bits and pieces from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present.

Jia Rong found that what he gained the most was brotherhood. The equality between officers and soldiers won the hearts of the soldiers for Jia Rong, and won many life and death brothers. , Jia Rong inevitably fell in love with this feeling. He has seen too many intrigues and intrigues in the future world. The ancients are so simple, and he is a comrade-in-arms who is completely worthy of entrusting his back.

The next day, the team set off again, and the cheerful atmosphere was washed away by the quicksand last night.

It was almost noon, and the temperature in the desert was extremely high. Under the huge temperature difference, dozens of soldiers fell ill. "Cold cold", this is a new term that was unheard of in the Han Dynasty.

I have to say that the doctor's life is really big enough, even the wind, sand and quicksand did not take away his somewhat rickety body, but he is about to enter old age, and such a long time of running around has long been unbearable, and his tenacious persistence until now is based on the deep desire to live desire.

Speaking of which, Jia Rong admired the old man.

He was treated by a doctor, although the treatment took a little longer, but the soldiers were freed from the "cold" without any risk. Jia Rong had to re-examine this old man, who can treat sword wounds, and he can also cure colds with his hands. It will be as simple as a little doctor.

"What's your name?" Jia Rong asked, looking directly into the doctor's eyes.

I don't know if the old man was at a loss after walking in the desert for many days or he was used to this kind of look, the doctor replied calmly: "Cao Min Hua Yu, didn't you tell the general earlier?"

Jia Rong frowned and thought deeply. There was nothing worth noting when he heard the name before, but after seeing Hua Yu's medical skills, he inevitably felt a little doubtful.

"How old is the old man this year?" Jia Rong asked.

"Forty out of four." Hua Yu replied truthfully.

"Does the old man know about Hua Tuo?" Jia Rong asked pleasantly.

Hua Yu looked at Jia Rong suspiciously, and said, "How did the general know the name of Brother Zhong?"

Jia Rong took a step forward and grabbed Hua Yu's hand, and said excitedly, "Hua Tuo is your younger brother, so kind, so kind!"

"Hahaha..." Jia Rong looked up to the sky and let out a hearty laugh.

"What's the matter, General?" Hua Yu asked puzzled, he found that there were too many questions that confused him when he was with Jia Rong.

Jia Rong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just keep going." Nothing is as important as getting out of the desert.

Hua Yu said: "If the general sees my younger brother, please let him go back to his hometown as soon as possible. My younger brother has been passionate about medicine all his life, and he has determined to travel all over the world, but he has not returned for many years."

Jia Rong nodded in agreement and said, "The two of you brothers will definitely meet at that time."

Hua Yu bowed down again excitedly.

With the status of Hua Tuo's elder brother, Jia Rong paid enough attention to Hua Yu during the next march, and even gave him an extra bag of drinking water that was limited in the army. No one had any objection to this. In the harsh desert environment, Huayu still played a great role.

The drinking water in the army is getting less and less, and the amount of drinking water required by the soldiers in the army is gradually decreasing. No one in the team has any objections, including Ma Teng's family members, who absolutely obey Jia Rong's orders.

Xiao Ma Chao was so thirsty that he couldn't take it anymore, so he ran to Jia Rong, shook Jia Rong's clothes, and looked longingly at the water bag on his waist.

Jia Rong smiled slightly, untied the water bag around his waist, and handed it to Ma Chao. Ma Chao took the water bag and left with a hop. After a while, Ma Chao returned the water bag. Jia Rong shook it and found Ma Chao He didn't drink much, and smiled at Ma Chao.

For Ma Chao, Jia Rong has an extraordinary love, that appearance, as if treating his own relatives, and Ma Chao also likes to stay by Jia Rong's side, influenced by Jia Rong, he strictly stipulates himself according to the requirements of the army, Just like a Xiliang Army soldier, although he didn't know why he came here to ask for water this time, Jia Rong handed the water bag to Ma Chao without hesitation.

Xiliang Brocade Ma Chao is known to everyone in the Three Kingdoms, and he bore the vengeance of killing his father when he was young. Cao Cao, who once fought, threw away his helmet and armor, but because of his violent personality, he failed to achieve great things , entered Shu as a general, and died in frustration. Some important deeds about Ma Chao came to Jia Rong's mind one by one.

The cold night wind blows Jia Rong's hair, and the hair flutters gently with the night wind. After stepping into the desert for nearly a month, everyone's hair is disheveled and their clothes are disheveled. They look like a group of beggars from a distance. "How far?" Jia Rong didn't know how many times he asked.

Zhang Wu panted and said: "General, we still have fifteen days at most before we can go out." After finishing speaking, Zhang Wu's eyes flashed a gleam, not just another surprise of crossing the desert, but more The most important thing is Jia Rong's promise to him.

Jia Rong nodded slightly, and comforted: "Thank you for your hard work. After leaving the desert, I will never forget your benefits."

Zhang Wu kept nodding in surprise, and his sluggish spirit rushed up immediately under the stimulation of these words, and his body was instantly filled with fighting spirit. People make money and birds die for food. Jia Rong's promise is enough to spend three lifetimes.

Motivated by money, Zhang Wu worked extra hard to do things. In the past, the team walked for an hour to confirm the direction, but now it takes two hours to confirm the direction three times. He still enjoys it. Zhang Wu has a love-hate relationship with the desert. , It was the desert that gave him this huge opportunity to make money, but it also had the danger of taking his life away at any time.

The quicksand scene a few days ago is still fresh in my memory. More than 100 soldiers disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye, leaving nothing behind. For several consecutive nights, Zhang Wu kept having nightmares.

The sky was gradually brightening, and Jia Rong, who was looking up at the front, suddenly found a column of sand reaching the sky five miles away from the team, and Jia Rong could even feel that the sand grains around him were constantly gathering in that direction , The momentum is huge, telling the revolving sand grains to merge into black shadows, looking from a distance, it is eerie and terrifying.

After the wind and sand converge, a large vortex is formed, which looks like it comes from the sky from a distance. Wherever it passes, whether it is sand dunes or sand grains, join it one after another, and grow rapidly like a snowball. Looking at it from a distance, people dare not look directly at it. .

Jia Rong had no doubt that when this strange thing passed through the line, nothing would be left behind.

Zhang Wu beside him was already surprised from ear to ear. He found that the hardships he encountered along the way were much more than the last time he crossed the desert.

"Could it be that God is going to punish us?" Zhang Wu muttered softly. This was also the voice of many soldiers. In the superstitious ancient times, don't try to explain any scientific knowledge to them.

After the initial shock, Jia Rong quickly realized, "It's not a punishment from heaven, it's a tornado, and nothing will be left behind." Jia Rong whispered.

Zhang Wu glanced at Jia Rong suspiciously, and said in a flustered tone, "General, hurry up and order, dragon...the tornado is coming soon."

Jia Rong creaked his hands into fists, gritted his teeth and said firmly: "The whole army obeys the order and runs to that sand dune, and the speed must be fast." Such a tornado covers a large area and it is extremely difficult to escape.

No one is willing to face such a monster head-on. Everyone follows Jia Rong closely. Having been in the desert for so long, everyone is used to obeying Jia Rong's words. Even if Jia Rong asks them to rush in the direction of the tornado, they will not hesitate hesitate.
