"The most powerful thing about the quicksand army is not the equipment and cultivation. Ye Haotian couldn't help but interject: "It's their bravery, bloodiness and ruthlessness. ”

"Ruthless?" Su Ning'er frowned, remembering the scene of the afternoon war, and nodded: "Yes, you should be ruthless with that group of demon troops." ”

"I'm talking about ruthlessness not only to the demons, but also to myself. Ye Haotian's eyes showed a rare look of admiration.

Regarding the story of the Quicksand Army, Ye Haotian had heard it a long time ago, it was a legendary anti-demon corps, and it was also the ancestor of the people of Quicksand City.

The quicksand army appeared two hundred years ago, its predecessor was a medium tribe called quicksand in the desert, the number of tribes was not large, a total of less than two thousand people, and then the demon army invaded, broke through the defense line of the Red Rock Valley, burned and looted in the border, and the quicksand tribe spontaneously formed a righteous army to resist the demons.

This rebel army fought bravely, fought ruthlessly, and its whereabouts were strange, and it defeated the demon clan countless times, killing more than 70,000 demon troops in just three years.

Later, the demon clan dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers to encircle and suppress the quicksand tribe, and 700 quicksand warriors escorted 1,000 women and children from the encirclement of the army to escape into the Forbidden Demon Mountains in the north.

On the way to escape, the men, women and children of the quicksand tribe showed determination and ferocity beyond ordinary people's imagination, in order to reduce the burden and not be caught up by the demon army, they personally killed the soldiers and elderly people who had lost their combat effectiveness, and some children with weak constitutions were also thrown into the desert.

In the hundreds of miles of desert leading to the Forbidden Demon Mountain Range, the demon army pursued and killed all the way, and every time they were about to catch up, dozens of corpses would appear in front of them, until the shadow of the quicksand army was lost in the vast mountains, and the demon army failed to catch a single prisoner.

According to statistics, during the three days and two nights of escape, the quicksand tribe left a total of 1,479 corpses, of which 232 quicksand soldiers were killed by the demon army, and the remaining 1,245 people all died at the hands of the tribe itself.

Cruel, ruthless, ruthless...... Whenever the frontier people mention the quicksand army, they will add this similar modifier in front of it. This is the most cold-blooded and ferocious rebel army in the history of the war between man and demon in the past thousand years, because of too much ferocity to the clansmen, the achievements of this rebel army were once criticized by the generals of various human countries, and some military academies even regarded it as a negative teaching material, comparing the quicksand army to a demon army that is more ferocious than the demon army, saying that they are born cannibals, without humanity at all, as a tribal warrior can live and die with the clansmen, in order to escape for their own lives, they can bear to kill their relatives with their own hands, which has violated the iron law of human army building, even the demons can't do this kind of cannibalistic and vicious thing。

While the human countries were arguing endlessly about whether to classify the Quicksand Army as a regular human legion and go down in history, the war scholars of the Demon Race recorded the achievements of the Quicksand Tribe in the past few years in the military lesson plan of the clan, and advocated that the whole clan learn the fighting spirit of the Quicksand Army, especially the contingency strategy when breaking through and fleeing.

No matter what the princes and generals of the human countries think, no matter what the demons think of the gray three years, for the people of the quicksand tribe, the quicksand army is the pride of the tribe, it is their decisiveness to kill that allows the tribe to be continued, and it is their choice at a critical time to keep the best bloodline seeds for the tribe, which is why there is the current quicksand city, and there are two victories.

......

......

After listening to Ye Haotian's simple explanation, Su Ning'er stuck out her little tongue in shock, and before she could ask anything, there was a sudden loud bang next to her, and Su Ning'er, who was frightened, shrank her neck, and forgot about the words that came to her mouth.

"You still remember that you are the descendants of the Quicksand Army!" Qi Bo's thin palm pressed on the table beside him, and the lid of the tea bowl in his hand kept shaking, and a few drops of tea splashed fell on the back of his hand, slowly rolling down the raised green tendons.

Seeing that the old man suddenly became angry, several masters were all stunned, looking at each other blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Uncle Qi, why are you angry?" Ye Haotian said puzzled.

"Angry?" After Qi Bo glanced at Ye Haotian, his eyes fell on Xu Heihu, and he snorted coldly: "Heihuzi, let me ask you, what was the oath you made in front of the ancestor spirit on the day you became the city lord?"

Xu Heihu's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said respectfully: "Swear to protect the clansmen to the death, so that the tribal bloodline will be passed on from generation to generation." ”

"And now!"

"I ......"

"The demon army is besieging the city. The seventh uncle interrupted Xu Heihu and said: "In addition to being brave and ruthless, you all know how to fight and kill, do you have to force the dead ancestors to jump out of the coffin to know what to do now!"

The old man's words stunned everyone, including Ye Haotian.

"Back then, I left Quicksand City and traveled around the mainland. Qibo continued: "I have seen the most mysterious kamikaze warrior in Eastern Wuhan, met the most terrifying voodoo cultists in Southern Xinjiang, compared sword skills with the grassland swordsmen of Western Shu, and made offerings in the seven vassal states of Great Xia, but I finally returned to Quicksand City...... Do you know why?"

"Why?" asked Su Ning'er.

Qibo glanced at Su Ning'er and said, "Because this is my home, because I am a member of the quicksand tribe, I hope to do something for the tribe in the last few years before I die...... But when I came back, I found that I was too old to ride a horse, not only could I not carry a sword, but I could not even drink the most mellow ale wine in the tribe. ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Qi sighed, and the whole person seemed to be much older.

"Just when I thought I would be useless in this life anymore, the demon army came. Qibo raised his head and swept his eyes over everyone's faces one by one, "You did a good job, you fought two city battles, killed more than 4,000 enemies, and didn't disgrace the ancestors of the tribe...... But have you all forgotten how the quicksand tribe survived until now? Have you all forgotten what the ancestors of the tribe did during the escape two hundred years ago! Brave and fierce, it is to kill the enemy, but when the enemy is too strong to resist, what should you do? Then you have to flee! You have to run! You have to leave seeds and hope for the tribe! Black Tiger, as the city lord, this is how you protect the clan? It has been passed down from generation to generation, how can it be passed on!" Qibo's voice became higher and higher, and finally turned into a fierce reprimand.

Xu Heihu's sweat was raining, he endured the grievances in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Qi, it's not that I didn't think about running away with my clansmen, but the demon army came too suddenly, and I was besieged without any preparation." This is a desert, and the demons are all cavalry, even if they go out of the city, how can they escape their pursuit, that is nearly 10,000 people. Now that the north and south gates are under the surveillance of the demon army, we can't get out at all. ”

"Yes, Uncle Seven. Yan Sha continued: "Although the demon army is temporarily defeated now, there are at least more than 2,000 people who can fight at any time, and after the first battle during the day, we can really participate in the battle of less than 300 people, in the desert, we can't withstand their pursuit at all, I am afraid that we will be surrounded before we get out of the city gate." ”

"Uncle Qi, we really have no other way than to work hard. Yu Hua also said.
