"Quick, dig people!"

Hearing that there was finally no movement of wind and sand, Meng Tian was the first to poke his head out.

The wind and sand have gone away, and there is nothing to see around except yellow sand, and his body is also covered with a thick layer of yellow sand!

Who would have thought that under this seemingly calm yellow sand, there was an army of more than 60,000 people buried?

With Meng Tian's roar, more and more people began to emerge from under the yellow sand, and then hurriedly started digging people, this sandstorm was really terrifying.

From the time the sandstorm passed in the evening to the time when the temperature in the desert plummeted to nearly 0 degrees Celsius at night, the personnel had not yet been counted, and it was almost certain that even if these people were dug up now, they would not have survived.

"Baili, how are you doing over there?"

"According to rough statistics, there are at least more than 500 people who have not been found, and there are more than 300 soldiers who have been confirmed to have died, more than 1,000 wounded, and hundreds of seriously injured.

Sitting by the campfire, Baili Meng answered Meng Tian's inquiry, and the soldier's eyes in his mind that seemed to be entrusted at the end were still lingering, and he couldn't forget that look, the soldier didn't seem to be dead, but stared at him with those eyes.

Stared at himself and told himself that no matter what, he must lead this army to defeat the Xiongnu royal court!

"Hey, there are still more than 300 people on my side who have not been found, and there are not many dead and injured, but there is a problem with the grain and grass, and a large amount of grain and grass has been blown away, and we will have to find it tomorrow."

Meng Tian didn't know that more than half of the reason why Bailimeng's 38th Army suffered so many casualties was because Meng Tian's troops did not desperately protect the grain and grass!

The Thirty-eighth Army was right behind the Fifty-fourth Army!

But Baili Meng is not to blame Meng Tian, after all, this kind of thing cannot be avoided at all, this is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Seeing that Baili Meng was still a little distracted, Meng Tian turned his gaze to Li Mu.

"Leave it to fate!"

Li Mu looked at the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, what a beautiful picture, who would have thought that just a few hours ago, everything they encountered was under this kind of beauty?

Now Li Mu is also a little flustered, non-combat attrition is something Li Mu once considered, and don't look at the big number, but it is still within the range that he can accept.

But the problem is that now the troops are not only non-combat attrition, but more importantly, food and grass!

Originally, the marching speed of the troops was very slow, and the consumption of grain and grass had seriously exceeded the standard, and after this today, the overall loss statistics have not yet been reported, but Li Mu no longer dared to think about it.

I'm afraid that the remaining grain and grass in the hands of this army will not only not be able to support the Xiongnu royal court, but also unable to support them out of the desert, and their location is right in the middle of the desert!

There is an even more terrible thing, and that is the water source, which has not yet been found.

"Drink some water, old general. It's okay for our young people to be strong and strong, you can't fall down first, the net worth and life of these tens of thousands of soldiers, and the prayers of the people of Daqin, are counting on the old general. ”

Early the next morning, the sun was rising, and the temperature in the desert began to rise slowly, Bailimeng watched Li Mu's lips crack to the point that he was already bleeding, and hurriedly handed over his water bag, but Li Mu did not answer.

Finally, under Bailimeng's repeated insistence, Li Mu just took a small sip and returned it to Bailimeng.

"How's it going, has the team looking for water come back?"

"They've been out all night and haven't come back yet, so wait."

Hearing Li Mu's inquiry, Meng Tian and Baili Meng both shook their heads, a whole night has passed, so many teams went out to find a water source, and none of them came back, thinking of the terrible sandstorm yesterday, I am afraid that even if there is really a water source nearby, it has already been buried by the yellow sand.

"Pass the order, order the troops to get ready to go, and if there is no news of water after an hour, set off immediately and move on!"

After thinking about it briefly, Li Mu gave an order directly.

This is already an army that lives to the death, with a long stretch of yellow sand, a lack of food and grass, and even a source of water, and under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for them to get out of this desert alive.

There is no choice, Li Mu has to work hard to move forward, he wants to buy time as much as possible to get close to the goal, even if he falls a hundred steps in front, he must lead the troops to go forward this hundred steps!

This is no longer a question of whether he can get out of the desert and win, this is a man who gives his final account of the end of his life.

......

"Brethren! It's that I can't live with everyone! I'm on my knees for everyone! ”

Kneeling on the yellow sand suddenly, Bailimeng looked at the soldiers in front of him, and his heart was sour, but he didn't even dare to shed tears, he was afraid that because he shed even one more tear, he would need to drink one more drop of water in the future.

A day later, still no water source was found, and after carefully studying the map and the situation of grain and grass, Li Mu made a decisive decision to abandon all the seriously wounded!

It was an almost inhumane decision, but Li Mu had to do it.

However, Li Mu could only make this decision, but he couldn't say it, because he was a native of Zhao State, and he used to be the biggest enemy of Qin State!

And the wicked person who was responsible for conveying and carrying out this order naturally fell on Meng Tian and Baili Meng.

For the 54th Army, there were not too many wounded and sick in his troops, so it was better, but the situation of the 38th Army was completely different, there were more than 200 people, all of whom were his comrades-in-arms!

"Commander! As long as you can defeat the Xiongnu royal court, why don't the brothers die here! ”

"When the time comes, the military commander, you can play with two more Hun women, the brothers will explain here today, you have to play back for our brothers."

"Haha~~~!"

Finally, Bailimeng's tears still fell uncontrollably.

Although what they said was very vulgar, Baili Meng knew that these people had already made sacrifices, but they didn't want to make the atmosphere too heavy, so they were like this.

"You are all heroes of Great Qin! When I return to Xianyang in triumph, I will tell the boss everything that happened here! Rest assured! Your sacrifice today will not be submerged by the yellow sand, and you will live forever with Daqin! ”

Got up, turned his head, two tears fell, and he waved his arms violently, and this army that was born to the death once again embarked on the journey.

"Do you say you have no clothes? ...... with the Son"

With the singing, the army gradually disappeared from view......
