Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 216 The moment of life and death
"Master of Dali Temple?" Su Chen laughed, "Let the virtuous king do it if he wants to, and it's okay for me to change positions with him. He is not the only one who can march and fight."

The army went west for hundreds of miles, and gradually became deserted.

The reason why it is called West Desert is because it has to pass through a desert, and then there is a piece of green grassland in Rongdi.This battle is not easy to fight, because there are still many difficulties to overcome on this road.Just crossing the desert, the sun is getting stronger day by day, the sand is hot during the day, and it is surprisingly cold at night, which is very difficult.

The army marched in the desert for two or three days.Fortunately, they met a camel caravan from Beixia on the way, and guided Ye Song and the others to an oasis, where they were able to solve the water source problem.

The news kept coming from the front, saying that Rongdi didn't know how to advance or retreat, and started to attack the next city, making it clear that he wanted to challenge Beixia.

The wind and sand in the desert is surprisingly shaving, and it is itchy and choking when it is sucked into the throat with the wind.Su Chen took out a scarf, walked side by side with Ye Song, handed it to her and said, "Cover your face."

Ye Song didn't even bother to take a look: "Tch, who cares."

Su Chen pointed to the accompanying army, and showed Ye Song that they were all wearing square scarves around their necks. When the wind and sand were blowing, he would pull up the square scarves to cover their mouths and noses, and said, "Inhale too much dust. It's easy to get cough, don't you see that everyone is covered?"

Sure enough, as soon as Su Chen finished speaking, Ye Song felt his throat was itchy and coughed twice.Seeing that she didn't pick her up for a long time, Su Chen jumped from his own horse onto Ye Song's horse. Seeing this, Ye Song immediately wanted to throw him off.Su Chen and her have fought each other so many times, and he was able to guard against it long ago. He clamped Ye Song's hands, personally passed the scarf around her face, and tied a knot behind her head.

Along the way, one of the things Ye Song did the most was fight with Su Chen.

Su Chen didn't let her go anymore, he was really punching, but every time he had the upper hand and hit Ye Song, it didn't hurt very much.As a result, Ye Song counterattacked more fiercely, and his speed was faster than before. Even without a whip, he was able to fight Su Chen for a while, and his fisting skills were greatly improved.

A few days later, when I was about to cross the desert, the wind direction suddenly changed.

The wind was raging, and the yellow sand was blowing everywhere, making it difficult for people to tell the direction ahead.

The army was a little confused in an instant.Fortunately, the generals were all experienced, so they didn't panic. Soon Ji Lin and the others adjusted their formation in front, Ye Xiu also drove forward, and Ye Song wanted to follow, but Ye Xiu turned his head and said in a solemn voice: " Ah Song, you and the prince are following the army!"

Su Chen saw that Ye Song was very dissatisfied, so he pulled Ye Song's horse's rein at the right time, and said, "It's useless for you to go at this time, the sand dunes move quickly when the wind is strong, and you can't accurately identify the direction if you are not a skilled person. Just listen to General Wei's advice." , you follow me behind."

Ye Song squinted his eyes and said, "My lord said it lightly, why don't you follow to help identify the direction, so that the army can walk out of the desert earlier."

Su Chen smiled slowly: "This king is just an army supervisor, not a general."

At this time, Bai Yu drove the horse from the front to the back, and said in a rare serious way: "There is quicksand in the front, General Wei ordered everyone to divide into several troops and go forward. I will lead the rear army with the second lady and the prince."

After finishing speaking, Ye Song immediately made a gesture to let the rear troops stagger along with the three of them.Go in another direction without quicksand.

These soldiers were all transferred from the border ministries and the drill field in charge of the general, and they were not very familiar with Ye Song.Problems soon became apparent.

They knew Ye Song was a woman.Even though she is the second lady of the general's mansion, she can easily lead troops to fight after passing the martial arts exam, which is too easy, so it is difficult to convince the public.

Once diverted and staggered, the rear army led by Ye Song began to loosen up and disobey Ye Song's management, but because of Su Chen's presence, they didn't dare to be too rampant.

Later, someone in the front refused to leave, which directly hindered the progress of the soldiers behind.A group of soldiers were very lazy, Ye Song asked, "Why didn't you leave?"

They said, "I'm too tired to walk."

Ye Song raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and said: "If we don't go far, everyone will be able to walk out of this desert. Before the wind and sand are too big, we should continue to join the big army. Because we are too tired, we can't walk anymore. Isn't it irresponsible, if the quicksand spreads here, the life and death of the brothers will become an unknown because of your words, do you think this is worthy of everyone?"

The team behind began to show restlessness.

The group of lazy soldiers looked at each other for a while, and then a bold one stood up, feeling uncomfortable all over, and said, "Why are we irresponsible, obviously the imperial court is irresponsible! We have been soldiers for so long, and we have never seen Let a woman yell in front of brothers! Women can only breastfeed and take care of their children at home, so it’s time to go to the battlefield to lead the war?! I am a rough man, I can’t speak, but I just express my brothers’ feelings, if I offend Please don’t be offended by the second miss of the Ye family. Speaking of last year’s martial arts exam, the second miss won the championship in one fell swoop, but who doesn’t know that two of the judges above are generals of the Ye family, and one It is the second young lady's ex-husband, the third prince in front of me, how can the brothers accept such a close relationship? Second young lady should retreat, it is reasonable to ask the prince to lead us for the time being."

Su Chen drove his horse forward two steps, his voice was slightly cold, but full of playfulness, and said: "This is the first time this king has seen this kind of situation. This king came with him, he was just a supervisor, and the person who led the battle was Wei General Ye Xiu, and the second lady is General Wei's deputy, and General Wei asked Ye to lead the brothers to work together to get out of this desert, which is a military order. This king can't be the master."

Ye Song said indifferently: "How should those who disobey the military order be dealt with?"

Bai Yu said: "The light ones should be punished with a hundred military sticks, while the heavy ones should be punished."

Ye Song asked again: "Then disrupting the formation of the army, and disregarding the life and death of the army in this desert, is the crime minor or serious?"

Bai Yu said: "Does it need to be said, of course it is a felony."

"Very good." Ye Song unhurriedly took down a crossbow from the side of the saddle, unhurriedly installed an arrow, and raised his brows slightly, looking at him in the sun with a little evil, As usual gossip, "After a few days as a soldier, you can disobey military orders. I have to admit that it's time for you to stand up."

Seeing Ye Song's crossbow aimed at him, the soldier who spoke turned pale with fright, and dared not say another word.But Ye Song didn't give him another chance to say a word, he just let out a "shoo", an arrow pierced his throat, and the blood spattered yellow sand.

The entire army is impressively rigorous, and dare not be negligent in the slightest.The previously lazy group of soldiers were all speechless.Ye Song shouted loudly: "Keep going!"

When the soldiers passed by the soldier's body and saw the blood-soaked yellow sand, they were able to alert themselves.

Not long after, Bai Yu walked in front, with his hands resting on his browbones, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, he suddenly shouted: "No! There is quicksand ahead!"

Ye Song and Su Chen walked beside the army, she said: "Go around! Hurry up, everyone run!"

The quicksand in the desert is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be swallowed by the quicksand and never get up again.At such a critical moment of life and death, no one dared to take a step slower, they ran up one after another, and followed Bai Yu to make a detour.Ye Song and Su Chen waited for them to run over quickly before riding their horses to follow.

However, the quicksand was originally unpleasant, but after everyone ran chaotically, it seemed to be stimulated, and large areas collapsed.Ye Song was about to speed up his horse when he suddenly saw a sunken sandy nest in front of him and immediately reined in.

"Be careful!" Su Chen followed up, grabbed Ye Song's reins, and dragged her and the horse aside, narrowly avoiding the thrilling scene.

The yellow sand made my face gray.Ye Song turned back in astonishment, and saw Su Chen frowned coldly, his body was bent forward, and he was driving his horse quickly and nimbly to avoid those bunkers.

But I don't think there is a bigger one in front of me.I saw that several soldiers who fell behind failed to escape, were swept in by the quicksand, and continued to slide and fall.Su Chen's whole body tensed up, and he drove the horse into a big turn. His horse was also very agile and smart, the horse's hooves would step over the edge, and he ran very fast, avoiding a catastrophe.

However, Ye Song was not so lucky.

He Chen ran behind, also stepping on the edge of the quicksand, but the quicksand flowed down too fast, every time He Chen took a step, it flowed down quickly, causing He Chen's horseshoe to be unable to take advantage of the force, and gradually hit the edge of the quicksand Zhuan'er, no matter what, I can't run up to it.

When He Chen's four hooves stepped into the air, it raised its head and neighed.

Su Chen looked back, and when his hair was flying, he yelled at Ye Song: "Jump in front of me!"

Where did Ye Song think so much, he immediately put his feet on the horse's back and jumped towards Su Chen.Su Chen held He Chen's rein with one hand and did not let go, while Ye Song was caught with the other, his arms tightly wrapped around Ye Song's waist, locking her in his arms without any gaps, heaved a deep sigh of relief, and then said: "Hold on to the horse's neck!"

Ye Song immediately got down on the ground and hugged the horse's neck tightly. Su Chen clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse under him ran even more crazily in pain.At the same time, without the burden of carrying Ye Song, He Chen also tried his best to escape upwards, with the help of Su Chen pulling it, He Chen thumped his hooves and struggled to climb up.

Facts have proved that He Chen is a vigorous and wild Hequ horse.

After running along the edge of the quicksand circle for more than half a circle, Ye Song hugged the horse, Su Chen hugged Ye Song, and He Chen was pulled by Su Chen, one chain after another, no one could let go.Su Chen's arms were astonishingly strong, the palms of his hands were drawn with deep bloodstains by the reins, and He Chen was very competitive. At the last critical moment, Su Chen raised his arms violently, and He Chen was encouraged to jump up roaring.Finally, the four hooves landed smoothly, and the quicksand continued to sink the next moment, but He Chen had already run forward one step ahead, and the two horses were out of danger together.

The wind in the desert is rough.With the hot taste of the sun, and sweat.
