Chapter 315: Iron Riding Quicksand

Wei Qing's tent and Abri were almost side by side, so it was better to discuss things directly, and after two days of walking, Wei Qing was also a little tired, he collapsed on the bed, already drowsy.

In the haze, Wei Qing saw Mulan walk in, he took off his clothes one by one, his white body shimmered in the dark, he bent down and poured the water on the ground into the big wooden barrel one by one, and the beautiful ** hung like a hanging bell with every bend he made, swaying with his movements.

The sound of the water is roaring.

Wei Qing wanted to call Hua Mulan and wanted to tell him that now that the army is short of water, please endure it for a few days and wait until you reach the Turpan Oasis to wash it, but I don't know why? He couldn't make a sound.

The sound of the water is roaring.

Wei Qing was a little anxious, he tried hard to speak, but his mouth seemed to be glued, no matter what.

The sound of the water is roaring.

"General Wei, get up!" A voice suddenly rang out.

Wei Qing opened his eyes violently, he knew it was Abri's voice, but he wasn't sure if he was still dreaming, because he still heard the sound of water in his ears.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Abri broke in, and saw that Wei Qing was still sitting on the bed in a daze, so he stepped forward and pulled Wei Qing up and ran outside: "Run!" ”

Wei Qing was stunned and followed Abri out of the tent, only to get out of the tent, if a big wave hit, a wave of sand formed by sand grains hit straight over, and with a bang, he pressed his tent underneath.

Wei Qing was shocked into a cold sweat, if Abri had been a little late, he would have been crushed to the ground.

"What's going on!" Wei Qing heard a commotion all around, and the undercurrent on the ground was surging, as if the entire desert was flowing, and it was almost untenable.

"Quicksand!" Abri exclaimed, "We've come across a large patch of quicksand!" ”

Wei Qing looked in all directions, only to see that the ground was constantly surging around, the sand turned into waves, and one tent after another was swallowed into the sand.

"What to do!" Wei Qing asked urgently.

"I don't know!" Abri replied, "This quicksand seems to be several miles wide, and we can only ask God to bless us!" ”

Wei Qing stomped his foot.

God, God can make it difficult for the Han army in this paragraph, and he can still bless them.

Someone shouted not far away, Wei Qing followed the sound, but it was a soldier from the Western Regions, trapped by quicksand, his body was constantly sinking, Wei Qing was about to rush up to save people, but was pulled by Abri: "Don't go!" Abri exclaimed, "He is surrounded by quicksand, and you will be like him when you step on it!" ”

"Do you just watch him die?" Wei Qing was a little angry, this is a soldier from the Western Regions! Why is Abri so ruthless.

"That's all there is to it!" Abri replied, "If it were me who was trapped, I would tell you not to come, because you can't save me, but you will take your own life!" ”

Wei Qing didn't want to say more, but he saw that the soldier's body sank, as if there was a strong pull under his feet, and he sank into the ground all of a sudden.

Far and near, cries for help were heard everywhere, and it seemed that more than one soldier was trapped in quicksand.

Wei Qing closed his eyes in pain.

Abri just looked at the ground: "It seems that we have a hard ground here, let's just stand here and don't move!" ”

Wei Qing really didn't move, but his heart sank little by little.

I don't know how long it took, the ground finally stopped surging, and Abri carefully probed his foot a few times before he smiled: "The quicksand has passed, and it seems that only a part of the quicksand has passed through our camp, otherwise, we are all finished by now!" ”

Wei Qing ignored Abri's words, he hurriedly walked towards the place where the quicksand passed, he wanted to count the casualties.

More than an hour later, when the day dawned, the losses of the Han army were summed up: more than 5,000 horses and camels were drowned, nearly 10,000 people died, and most importantly, all the waterwheels were flooded by quicksand.

Wei Qing sat on the ground with his head in his hands.

He already regretted in his heart that he had entered the desert, the power of this desert was not at all within the reach of manpower, he could fight against several times the enemy, but in the face of this terrible desert, he could only be beaten.

Hua Mulan walked over slowly, she was almost drowned in the quicksand, she still grabbed a horse's leg to crawl out of the sand, she sat next to Wei Qing, and comforted softly: "In two or three days, General Bai will be able to come back, and then our water will be able to support the Turpan Oasis!" ”

Wei Qing let out a long sigh and looked into the distance, he really hoped that Bai Buxin would come back now.

In the distance, there was a faint cloud of smoke.

Wei Qing's heart froze, and he pointed to the smoke and dust in front of him: "Mulan, look, what is that?" ”

Hua Mulan squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time, and replied, "It seems to be a team!" ”

Wei Qing nodded: "Not bad!" He immediately raised his voice and gave the order, and sent someone to the sentry.

Hua Mulan still squinted at the smoke and dust, and suddenly said, "This team is moving so fast, as if they are running away!" ”

Wei Qing also took a closer look, and sure enough, this team looked like they were running towards the Han army with all their might, and it could be seen that it was not an attack, because the formation was very messy, he was suddenly startled in his heart, jumped up, and shouted: "The whole army is on alert, ready to fight!" ”

Mulan was stunned, not knowing why.

Wei Qing saw that Mulan was stunned, and said anxiously: "What are you still doing in a daze?" That's the white general, they are being chased by the enemy! ”

Mulan's face changed color all at once.

Yes, except for Bai Buxin, who will desperately flee to the Han army in the desert, who will know the location of the Han army so clearly, and how can he be sure that this large army is his friendly army, only Bai Buxin's team can know this, if it is Bai Buxin's team who is desperately fleeing, then there is no need to guess whose team is chasing behind, it can only be the Wusun army.

Hua Mulan rushed out with the reins and hurriedly went to her own team to organize the team, and Liu Qi and Shi Qian were already shouting loudly and began to organize the troops.

The fast-moving Han army in front is getting closer and closer, and it can finally be seen clearly, as Wei Qing expected, it is Bai Buxin's troops, Chen Qingzhi and Ma Chao took turns to break off, Bai Buxin organized in the center, and the soldiers hurriedly came to the Han army camp, behind them, nearly 10,000 Wusun soldiers followed closely behind, and it seemed that they had followed a long distance.

"Spread out your formation and get ready for battle!" Wei Qing ordered.

The Han soldiers, who had just endured thirst and had been attacked by quicksand an hour earlier, had formed a line, each with their weapons clenched and ready to fight.

The Wusun army, which was pursuing Bai Buxin, saw that the main force of the Han army was on the opposite side, and knew that its strength was insufficient, so it simply gave up the pursuit, sorted out the team, and slowly retreated.

Bai Buxin came to Wei Qing with a big gasp, his face covered in sweat.

"Ready!" He said in a hoarse voice: "The main force of the Wusun Army is behind!" ”

Wei Qing was shocked, and he didn't have time to ask in detail, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to mobilize and prepare for war.

Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Wusun Army had not yet come up, Bai Buxin simply said what happened to them.

It turned out that Bai Buxin led 5,000 people all the way, and on the fifth day he had arrived at the Turpan Oasis, there were only 3,000 Wusun troops stationed in the oasis, which was less than they expected, Bai Buxin launched a surprise attack, and the 3,000 Wusun army was caught off guard, almost wiped out by the Han army, Bai Buxin led the Han army to fill all the water bladders, and had no time to rest, so he returned in a hurry, and Bai Buxin kept urging forward along the way, for fear that he could only see 200,000 corpses when he came back late, and when he saw that there were still 200 miles away from the Han army camp, They actually ran into the Wusun army unexpectedly, and this was not a small army of Wusun, but an army of 200,000 Wusun.

In fact, the Wusun army wanted to move forward as quietly as possible, close to the distance to launch the attack, and then attack at night, and hit the Han army by surprise, but did not expect to be Bai Buxin's 5,000 people found their traces, Wusun Commander did not do anything, simply raised the whole army, directly chased Bai Buxin forward, and the Han army decisive battle, Bai Buxin fought and walked all the way, in order to speed up the speed had to throw away the water bladder, as a result, not only did they not bring water for the main force, but even their own water was gone.

The more Wei Qing listened, the more shocked he became, this scene was really wrong, but the final result was that the Han army was killed, and the Han army was now without a drop of water, which was even worse than the situation when Bai Buxin set off.

"Array, prepare to attack!" Wei Qing gritted his teeth and ordered.

Bai Buxin was shocked: "General Wei, we can't just rush to attack!" ”

"That's the only way!" Wei Qing said: "We don't even have a drop of water now, if we can't quickly defeat the Wusun army and snatch water from them, we will all die of thirst in the desert!" ”

Only then did Bai Buxin understand that Wei Qing had done so hard to grab water, and he could only sigh, the situation without water was really incomprehensible.

In the distance, the horn sounded, and the main force of the Wusun army appeared, the figures swayed, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and it seemed that there were as many as 200,000 people.

"Forward!" Wei Qing hated the order.

This is the first time, Wei Qing knows that this is a bad choice, but he has to do it, because they don't have water.

The Han soldiers gasped, stared at bloodshot eyes, and chapped lips as they marched in formation.

This time. Although the forces of the two sides were equal, the Han army was already at a disadvantage before the battle.

They hadn't slept all night, 10,000 people had just been swallowed up by quicksand, there was not a drop of water, and their physical strength, morale, and spirit were all at a low point.

But they can only attack, and there is nothing else they can do.

On the other side, the Wusun army stopped, a short horn sounded, and the Wusun army retreated back in waves.

"Bastard!" Wei Qing blurted out a dirty word.

The tactics of the Wusun army are too smart, their method is very simple: do not fight a decisive battle with the Han army, just watch from a distance, in this hot desert, there is no need for more, as long as three days, the Han army will no longer have soldiers who can stand up, and there, the Wusun army can completely slaughter the Han army without blood.

Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
