Chapter 195: Black Storm Heavenly Punishment
Behind the shady side of a huge sand dune, Yang Qing squatted on the ground panting, and the sand once again got into his eye sockets, which was too uncomfortable.
Shang Han handed over his water bladder: "Childe, rinse it, maybe it will come out." ”
Yang Qing waved his hand: "Nonsense!" That's drinking water! ”
Shang Han understood Yang Qing's insistence, withdrew the water bladder, and sighed softly: "I don't know why, I haven't been blinded by the desert that crossed the Yumen Pass to Yiwu, why is it so much stronger as soon as I get out of Yizhou......"
Not far away, Guo Xi and his guide, Daddy Igul, were walking slowly and side-by-side, circling the sand dunes, wanting to see when the strong wind would stop.
There was sand everywhere, and Guo Xi could only rely on the position of the sun to roughly confirm the direction of the team's travel.
Holding the pergola in his hand and narrowing his eyes to only a thin slit, Guo Xi seemed to see that due west, a cloud of smoke pressed against the ground, as if it was surging in his direction.
Guo Xi was stunned: "Is it going to rain?" ”
Turning his head to look at Daddy Iguli, Guo Xi suddenly froze.
Iguli stared blankly at the smoke clouds in the distance, his right hand trembled and raised, and the fear in the depths of his eyes made people shudder.
Guo Xi looked strangely in the direction of Daddy Iguli's right hand, and there was still a large cloud of smoke, except that it was a little closer than just now, it was not much different.
"What's wrong? Daddy Eguli? ”
"Smoke ...... Smoke...... Smoke Storm! Iguli couldn't even finish his words, and his voice trembled violently.
"Smoke Leopard?" Guo Xi wondered, this is the Western Desert, where did the smoke leopard come from?
"Smoke storm! It's a smoke and sandstorm!! Yiguli violently broke free of Guo Xi's arm, and as soon as his seventy-year-old body flicked, he actually turned around and ran!
Guo Xi didn't pull it, and Iguli's right foot left a big pit on the sand, and with the speed and explosiveness that a seventy-year-old man shouldn't have, he ran out of ten zhang away in a blink of an eye!
Is this old man crazy or evil? Guo Xi hadn't come back to his senses yet, and with a "whoosh" Ilguli came back.
"General! Gather your men! Hide behind the dunes and maybe have a chance to survive! "Iguli at this time really looked like a madman.
"What's wrong?" Guo Xi seemed to realize that something was wrong, and his voice began to tremble.
"Smoke storm! A smoke storm is coming! This is the severest punishment of the gods! Iguli pointed to the "smoke cloud" in the west, "Don't you see it?!" Up to one meal time! ”
Guo Xi interrupted Iguli's roar with some annoyance: "Stop! You first make it clear, what a smoke storm is! Is it a big sandstorm?! ”
"Sandstorm?!" Iguli glared at those small eyes, "Sandstorm is a fart!" It's a smoke storm! It's the ancestor of Sandstorm! A hundred times more powerful than a sandstorm! 10,000 times! ”
Guo Xi's face suddenly turned pale, it's over! How can you just carry it like this! didn't have time to think about it, Guo Xi forced himself to calm down: "Dad, didn't you say that there is still time for a meal?" Is it too late to dodge now? ”
Iguli was already so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "My military master! Do you think smoke storms come slowly? It doesn't look like much, does it? The old man told you, this smoke storm is dozens of miles wide! Where can you hide! ”
Guo Xi gasped, dozens of miles! No wonder the "smoke cloud" is not big and does not move fast, it turns out that it covers such a large area! Presumably, the return of Yi Guli just now is not a discovery of conscience, but after thinking clearly, he can't escape this smoke and sandstorm!
But he can't be blamed for this, the old man is afraid of being ruthless, and people with this kind of psychological fear can't exaggerate what kind of life-saving actions they make.
Guo Xi clasped Yiguli's shoulders and shouted, "You go!" Find General Yang and ask him to gather his troops! There are still people in the back, I'll go inform them! Without waiting for Iguli to nod, Guo Xi turned around and galloped to the back team!
"General! Be sure to get together! Horses are sure to be frightened! Hold on firmly! Keep them together! ......" Iguli shouted anxiously, but I don't know if Guo Xi heard it.
Yang Qing had never been in the desert before, and he was frightened when he saw Ikuli's expression. Shang Han's face also changed several times, and without waiting for Yang Qing's orders, he immediately went to inform the generals.
The well-trained mount began to hiss restlessly, its hooves staggering. Cao Lang, Ye Guan and others shouted hoarsely and ordered the soldiers to gather quickly, and the horses were also forcibly pulled together.
A soldier who did not know the height of the sky cherished his horses, and thought that there were so many people around him that he would not be swept up into the sky, so he secretly took the reins and wanted to bring his beloved mount into the inner circle.
"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Ye Guan's horsewhip was mercilessly whipped on the soldier's shoulder.
"Bastard thing! If you want to die, stay away! Otherwise, hide behind the horse's butt for Lao Tzu! "Ye Guan is really angry, it's all about it, and he wants to die!
The little soldier didn't dare to say anything more when he received this blow, and honestly rushed his mount's butt out, and then squeezed it into the side of the horse's head with great difficulty.
The loud rumble from the northwest was clearly audible, and the sand at his feet began to tremble and jump, as if he felt that a grand carnival was coming.
Yang Qing tried to keep his red and swollen eyes open, for fear that any soldier would not enter the gathering group of horse arch guards. Looking up at Guo Xi in the distance, the rear team had no time to come over to rendezvous, so they could only find a big sand dune nearby. Besides, although the sand dunes on Yang Qing's side are large, they are already overcrowded, and more than 3,000 people and horses are tightly packed together, and there is no extra space.
At this time, the wind is basically impossible to open, and a mouth is full of sand. Zhang Nan dragged Yang Qing, squeezed into a pile of soldiers with difficulty, and lay down on the spot. At this time, there was no hierarchy of officers and soldiers, and there were just a group of mortals who depended on each other and waited for heavenly punishment.
No one made a sound, everyone could only wait helplessly for the arrival of the sandstorm, and at the same time pray for its quick departure, no exception.
Perhaps it was the same posture that played a certain soothing role, and the horses were almost a lot quieter, perhaps more sensitive and conscious than humans, and realized that running was useless. Slowly closing their eyes, the mounts accepted the fate of breathing and sharing their fate with their masters.
There was only one exception, the creep who wanted to pull the horse into the inner circle. Because of the self-defeating manoeuvre, his mount only had time to plunge its head in, and most of his body was still exposed. As the sky grew smoky and the wind grew stronger, the horses became more and more restless.
"Woo~~!" As if the final charge was sounded, the striker of the smoke and sandstorm finally hit the sand dune fiercely, and immediately cut off three feet! With the continuous pressing of follow-up reinforcements, the volume of the sand dunes is rapidly decreasing, and the sand wall barriers at the north and south ends will soon disappear!
"Herod~~!" A mournful roar came from such an earth-shattering roar, Yang Qing couldn't help but raise his eyes from the crook of his arm, and in the smoky wind and sand, he saw an incredible scene!
The poor horse has been swept up by the wind! On the other side of the reins, the little soldier pulled and maintained it with all his might! And his hands were already drenched in blood!
No one could speak in this environment, and the colleagues around the soldier could only hold him down, but the horses in the air were dragging this group of people step by step!
Someone had already broken the soldier's fingers, but the soldier looked like a mad tiger, and the hand holding the reins was as steady as a rock!
Yang Qing's eyes were shattered and his soul was scattered, and he suddenly remembered the TV report he had seen that a moving train would be overturned and derailed by the wind blowing from the Tarim Basin in an instant! What a terrifying power this is! And at this time, here, and at this scene, he can't afford to think about anything else! But Yang Qing can't speak now, the only thing he can do is to order with his eyes and beg that little soldier to let go!
Maybe Yang Qing's eyes were really substantial, or maybe Yang Qing's mood was transmitted to Xiao Bing's heart, and finally, he glanced at Yang Qing's direction.
The horses rolled in the air, and in an instant they were swallowed up in the vast expanse of smoke and sand. still let go, let go with blood dripping from his heart, maybe saved the lives of several people.
Yang Qing lowered his head in pain, he could feel the last heartache of the little soldier, and giving up his most beloved mount was tantamount to digging out a piece of meat in his heart.
No one dared to look up, the smoky wind and sand raging in the wind, gathering and destroying everything it could see. If anyone could look down in mid-air at this time, he would definitely wonder if he was still alive.
In the middle of the sand sea, there are two vibrant oases, like a pair of gentle eyes, embellished with the cold and vicissitudes of Yizhou and Xizhou. But at this moment, in the middle of these gentle eyes, a cloud of smoke was constantly tumbling and surging, adding a strange aura to the pair of green eyes!
Yang Qing felt that he had reached the limit of his endurance, he didn't know how long this damn smoke and sandstorm would last! Even though Shang Han and Zhang Nan both pounced on him, even the tiny body parts exposed to the wind and sand were still beaten by the sand like machine gun bullets! From this, it can be inferred that Shang Han and Zhang Nan, those soldiers who are crawling together, are enduring such a painful blow at the moment!
Yang Qing raised his head again, bumped his elbow against Iguli with difficulty, and looked over with a longing gaze, hoping to get an encouraging reply, even if it was a comforting reply!
Unfortunately, he was still disappointed, and Ikuli gave him an indifferent look, and immediately buried his head deeply, praying in his heart that the gods would soon end his anger, which was the only thing he could do now.
Heaven and earth are naturally silent and docile. They mercifully provide for the various needs of the living, contented and insatiable, they are satisfying them one by one, just like the vast majority of benevolent parents in the world.
But heaven and earth, there will also be times of anger.
Once human beings anger the heavens and the earth, the gods will be angry, and they will rain down on the catastrophe, and the violent wind will roll up the vast yellow sand, crashing and galloping between the heavens and the earth.
In the blink of an eye, a sand dune will be lifted into the sky, a camel will be thrown miles away, and a well will disappear without a trace at the time of the wind.
This is a sandstorm!
And what I encountered today is a smoke and sandstorm that is far more ferocious than the yellow sandstorm! In addition to the yellow sand, the smoky dirt will also be rolled up!
The time of the smoke and sandstorm has lasted for half an hour, and the five thousand Jianyu Erlang began to gradually fall into a coma, without exception......
