Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 236: Desert March

The tornado soon came into close contact with the team. Jia Rong held Wei Fu's little hand tightly and tried to rush towards the direction to the right. There was a big sand dune there. In the back, the tornado would only whizz over them without causing any damage to the team, but would the lightning-fast tornado give Jia Rong and others room to think.

As soon as he touched it, a soldier was swept into the sky by the tornado. He only had time to let out a trembling howl before being sucked into the sky by the high-speed rotating tornado. The color of the sand is shocking, and a person who was alive just now has become like this in the blink of an eye, which is enough to make any person who claims to be a warrior retreat, especially those ghosts and ghosts in their minds are also at this time.

But Jia Rong didn't seem to see the scene in front of him, and he pulled Wei Fu towards the sand dunes without looking back. The distance of only dozens of units gave Jia Rong a very distant feeling.

The word "difficult to walk" is too appropriate to describe these people at present. The huge attraction generated by the tornado makes every step extremely difficult. With the desire to live, everyone gritted their teeth and persisted.

His feet were a little uncontrollable, and the front of his chest was tightly attached to his chest because of the strong wind behind him. He had to put in great effort every step of the way. He wished that the soles of his feet could grow barbs or suck palms. In order not to be summoned by the god of death, Jia Rong stepped firmly in the sand with every step.

One soldier after another was swept high into the air by the tornado, leaving only a scream. Some soldiers were frightened by this weird scene, and ran in the direction of the team screaming.

This is no longer a desert, but a hell on earth. If you are not careful, the God of Death will take you away. Most of the soldiers who were frightened were from the Ma Teng Department. I don't know how much I have experienced.

Suddenly, Jia Rong realized that he was getting farther and farther away from the ground. Wei Fu's face beside him was already as pale as paper, and he looked at the feet of the two in horror, speechless in surprise and fear.

The term ill-fated is the most appropriate word to describe this trip to the desert. From the team of 1000 people to the current 300 people, I don't know how many "lucky people" will be left after this storm.

Jiang Yuzhang, who was behind him, stepped forward, grabbed Jia Rong's rising body, and pulled it down vigorously. How could the power of the tornado be resisted by human power? Instead of pulling Jia Rong down, Jiang Yu and others took advantage of the trend." Ascension".

The soldiers behind tried their best to step forward, holding Jiang Yu's ankles tightly, and were picked up by the strong wind again. One after another, the soldiers stepped forward, trying to stop the trend of the tornado, but more and more soldiers rose into the sky, Fortunately, Jia Rong is located in a place with relatively low wind force, otherwise he would be swallowed up in an instant. The power of nature cannot be resisted by humans.

A long rope made of human bodies hangs nearly three meters above the ground. It is shocking. The leaders seem to be Jia Rong and Wei Fu. Jia Rong could feel the flesh on his face deformed by the gravity of the wind.

Jia Rong has even seen the sand particles running at high speed. Due to the faster speed, only a black shadow can be seen on the golden sand, and the god of death is so close.

The wind weakened suddenly, and Jia Rong and others fell to the ground like dumplings.

Jia Rong, a carp, stood up straight from the ground, pulled Wei Fu to the sand dune not far away, lay down behind the sand dune, panting heavily, Wei Fu also opened his mouth slightly, his face flushed, this time She was so irritated by the experience that she was speechless.

The rest of the generals did not dare to be negligent, they all got up and followed Jia Rong's pace, without exception, all panting heavily.

As a general in the Xiliang Army, Jiang Yu's face turned pale from fright, not to mention the others, who have seen too many powerful enemies, no matter which ones, there is nothing like this thing called a tornado in front of him Scary, that is an enemy that can tear people's heart and gallbladder, making people unable to develop a heart of resistance.

Hiding behind the sand dunes, close to the ground, the attraction of the tornado was minimized. Looking at the familiar faces around, Jia Rong showed a smile for the rest of his life, but there was still a famous soldier who was swept away by the tornado, leaving a sound behind. With a groan, they rushed towards Jia Rong's direction, but they couldn't move. The sudden decrease in wind force was only a blink of an eye, and they would accept the test of the tornado again if they hesitated.

Lying on the back of the sand dunes, listening to the exclamation or wailing of the soldiers when they were caught in the tornado, Jia Rong felt a burst of pain in his heart. A famous soldier did not die in the enemy's swords and guns without glory. Wrapped in horse leather, they were defeated by natural disasters. It is no one's fault, and for whom did these soldiers die.

Jia Rong's eyes were red and he was about to rush out from behind the sand dune, but was held tightly by Jiang Yuweifu beside him.

The tornado whizzed across the sand dunes and headed further away. The whistling wind hurt Jia Rong's eardrums, but he didn't dare to look up.

The tornado came and went quickly, and it took only a few minutes before and after.

When counting the team, Jia Rong's face was very ugly. After the tornado, there were only 300 people left in the team of 150 people. Among them, there were only 30 soldiers left in Ma Teng's department. His face was so dark that he could squeeze out water .

Of the hundreds of local soldiers under his command, after more than a month, there are only 30 left. It is annoying to think about it. The local soldiers are different from other soldiers. Yi Yi carried out every order of the general. In the army, local soldiers are absolutely trustworthy.

Fortunately, although the tornado this time was fierce, no one of Ma Teng's family members died, and Jia Rong, the pillar of the army, was also safe. After spending so many days together, Ma Teng unknowingly put Jia Rong first , abandoning the previous concept.

After counting the number of people, the team set out again. No one wanted to stay in this place where people could be buried anytime, anywhere.

For the next three days, the weather in the desert was erratic, with constant wind, sand and quicksand. Occasionally, there would be a tornado. Every soldier in the team was tense, paying attention to their feet and the distance from time to time.

Scouts are needed not only in the plains, but also in the desert. This is the experience Jia Rong summed up. A famous soldier acted as a desert scout and was sent to the direction the team was going to travel.

Of course, these scouts cannot be too far away from the team, otherwise it would be a huge problem just to find the way they came. A single leaf could not see Mount Tai, and a small sand dune could block everything ahead, otherwise the previous team would not be blocked. The tornado made them at a loss and suffered heavy losses. In the final analysis, it was the lack of news.

In order to adapt to the desert, Jia Rong asked soldiers to convey the situation ahead by waving clothes or body language.

With these scouts in the desert, the team can avoid disasters again and again without any risk. Jia Rong is sure that if the previous tornado happened again, the team would definitely not suffer such heavy losses.

"General, there is nothing ahead, you can move on." A soldier walked up to Jia Rong, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists.

"In the future, you don't need to be so troublesome in private. You are an old man in the army, don't you even understand this?"

Jia Rong's seemingly harsh language turned into a fairy voice in the ears of the soldiers. No one would not want to be recognized by the general, and replied excitedly: "No."

After many escape trips in the desert, the relationship between Jia Rong and the soldiers has heated up. In front of Jia Rong, the soldiers are no longer restrained before, and they act and speak freely. This is not the soldier's disrespect for Jia Rong. Instead, he respects Jia Rong more.

"Well, keep moving forward, and rest after another hour of driving." Jia Rong ordered.

The bright sun that falls every night to the next day is the time for the soldiers to rush, and the hottest time of the day is to rest. Even if it is a rest, the kind of thirst that is devoted to the soul is not so bearable.

After going through too many strong winds and waves in the desert, soldiers are familiar with some natural phenomena in the desert. For example, the tornado that everyone changes color mentioned above is now a piece of cake to avoid. Where the tornado would just whizz by.

Tornadoes are always just disasters in the desert. They have no wisdom and no thinking. After grasping the doorway, they can avoid it with ease.

The biggest problem for Jia Rong now is the water source. A few days ago, a tornado not only took away the lives of more than 100 soldiers, but also took away a lot of water and food.

According to Zhang Wu, there are still nearly eight days to go out of the desert, and the water in the army is only enough to last for four days. It is hard to imagine how to get out of the desert during the four days without water.

As usual, Jia Rong came to the soldiers again and chatted with the soldiers. The soldiers liked to tell Jia Rong what they thought. Among the ordinary soldiers, Jia Rong was a very good soldier. Listener, during such a boring march in the desert, the joy of the soldiers every day is to chat for a while when Jia Rong orders a rest. As long as Jia Rong is free, he will participate on time. He needs to understand the thoughts of the soldiers.

"General? When can we go out?" A soldier asked fiercely.

Jia Rong smiled slightly and said, "Brothers, don't worry, Zhang Wu said that we can walk out of the desert in eight days at most."

All the soldiers showed joy when they heard the words, and it was their biggest wish at present to get out of this ghostly place.

"Will we be promoted after we go out?" A usually naughty soldier asked half-jokingly.

What the soldiers said seemed naughty, but it was the thoughts in the hearts of all the soldiers. Why did they follow Jia Rong desperately? Could it be that just a sentence of "loyalty to the country" can hold the hearts of every soldier?

Begging to be popular, I drank a little too much last night, so today's update is a bit late, please bear with me!
