Chapter 236: Desert March (6)
The tornado soon had a close contact with the team, Jia Rong held Wei Fu's little hand tightly, and tried to rush towards the direction of the right-hand side, there was a big sand dune, Jia Rong had full confidence, as long as he dodged behind the sand dune, the tornado would only whizz over them, and would not cause any damage to the team, but the tornado as fast as thunder and lightning would give Jia Rong and the others space to think.
As soon as he touched it, a soldier was swept into the sky by a tornado, and before he could let out a trembling howl, he was sucked into the air by the high-speed spinning tornado, and was torn to pieces in the blink of an eye, leaving only a touch of red sand, which shocked people's hearts, and a person who was still alive became like this in the blink of an eye, enough to make anyone who called himself a warrior retreat, especially those fairies and demons in their minds at this time.
And Jia Rong didn't seem to see the scene in front of him, and pulled Wei Fu towards the sand dunes without looking back, only a few dozen miles away gave Jia Rong a very distant feeling.
The word "struggling" is a fitting word to describe these people at the moment, and the huge attraction of the tornado makes every step extremely difficult, and with the desire to live, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.
His feet were a little uncontrollable, the placket on his chest was tightly attached to his chest because of the fierce wind behind him, and every step had to be extremely hard, he wished that the soles of his feet could grow barbs or suck palms, so that he would not be summoned by death, Jia Rong's every step was tightly stepped in the sand.
One soldier after another was swept into the air by the tornado, leaving only one scream after another, and some soldiers were frightened by the strange sight and went insane, screaming and running in the direction the team had come.
This is no longer a desert, but a hell on earth, if you are not careful, the god of death will take you away, most of the soldiers who were frightened were the people of the Ma Teng Division, relatively speaking, the warriors of the Xiliang Army experienced much more than he did.
Suddenly, Jia Rong found that he was getting farther and farther away from the ground, and Wei Fu's face beside him was already as pale as paper with fright, looking at the feet of the two in horror, speechless in surprise and fear.
The word ill-fated is the perfect way to describe this trip to the desert, from a team of 1,000 to 300 now, and I wonder how many "lucky ones" will be left after this storm.
Jiang Yu behind him stepped forward quickly, grabbed Jia Rong's rising body, pulled Xiangxia hard, and the tornado's Liliang was something that could not be resisted by manpower, instead of pulling Jia Rong down, Jiang Yu and the others took advantage of the situation to "ascend to heaven".
The soldiers behind him tried to step forward, holding Jiang Yu's ankle tightly, and were carried up by the strong wind, one soldier after another stepped forward, trying to stop the trend of tornadoes, but it caused more and more soldiers to rise into the sky, but fortunately, Jia Rong was in a relatively small place with little wind, otherwise it would be swallowed up in an instant, and the liliang of nature could not be resisted by manpower.
A long rope composed of human bodies hung nearly three meters above the ground, shocking, led by Jia Rong and Wei Fu, Jia Rong's clothes swayed in the wind, the whole person was fat, Jia Rong could feel the flesh on his face deformed due to the gravitational pull of the wind.
Jia Rong had even seen the grains of sand that were moving at high speed, and because of the speed, only a black shadow could be seen in the golden sand, and death was so close.
The wind weakened suddenly, and Jia Rong and the others fell to the ground like dumplings.
Jia Rong stood up from the ground with a carp, pulled up Wei Fu and rushed to the sand dunes not far away, lying on the back of the sand dunes, snorting and panting, Wei Fu also opened her mouth slightly, her face was red, and she was speechless from the stimulation of this experience.
The rest of the generals didn't dare to slack off, and they all got up to follow Jia Rong's pace, without exception, all panting.
Jiang Yu, as the general of the Xiliang Army, was also frightened and pale, not to mention the others, he had seen too many powerful enemies, no matter which one of them was not as scary as this thing called a tornado in front of him, it was a terrifying enemy that made people unable to resist.
Hiding behind the sand dunes, clinging to the ground, the attraction of the tornado was minimized, looking at the familiar faces around him, Jia Rong showed a smile for the rest of his life, but there was still a famous soldier who was swept away by the tornado, leaving a wail, they tried to rush in the direction of Jia Rong, but they couldn't take a step, the sudden decrease in wind power was only a blink of an eye, and the slightest hesitation would accept the test of the tornado again.
Lying behind the sand dunes, listening to the exclamations or wails of the soldiers when they were swept into the tornado, Jia Rong felt a pang of pain in his heart, a famous soldier of a hundred battles did not die in the enemy's swords and guns and did not have a glorious horse leather shroud, but was defeated under the disaster of nature, who was to blame, and for whom these soldiers died.
Jia Rong's eyes were red and he wanted to rush out from behind the sand dunes, but he was tightly pulled by Jiang Yuweifu beside him.
The tornado whistled over the sand dunes and drove farther away, the whirring wind whistling Jia Rong's eardrums painful, but he didn't dare to look up.
The tornado came quickly, and the castration was also fast, and it only took a few minutes before and after.
When counting the team, Jia Rong's face was ugly, there were only one hundred and fifty-five people left in the original team of three hundred people after the tornado, of which only thirty soldiers from the Ma Teng Department were left, and their faces were gloomy and they could squeeze out water.
More than a few hundred Hongo soldiers under his command, after more than a month, there are only thirty people left, it is annoying to think about it, Hongo's people are different from other soldiers, they rarely betray the commander, loyal to carry out every order of the commander, in the army, Hongo soldiers are absolutely trustworthy.
Fortunately, although this time the tornado was menacing, no one in Ma Teng's family died, and Jia Rong, the pillar of the army, was also safe.
After counting the number of people, the team moved on again, and no one wanted to stay in this place where people could be buried at any time and place.
For the next three days, the desert weather was capricious, with constant winds and quicksands, and the occasional tornado, and every soldier in the team was nervous, paying attention to their feet and the distance from time to time.
Not only in the plains, but also in the desert, scouts are also needed, this is the experience that Jia Rong summed up, and a soldier was sent to act as a desert scout in the direction where the team was going to travel.
Of course, these scouts can't be too far away from the team, otherwise just looking for the way to come is a huge problem, a leaf can not see Mount Tai, a small sand dune can block everything in front of them, otherwise the previous team will not be overwhelmed by the tornado, and thus suffer heavy losses, in the final analysis, it is the blockage of news.
In order to adapt to the desert, Jia Rong asked the soldiers to communicate the situation ahead by waving their clothes or body language.
With these scouts in the desert, the team was able to avoid disasters again and again without danger every time, and Jia Rong was sure that if the previous tornado had happened again, the team would definitely not have suffered such heavy losses.
"General, there is nothing ahead, you can move on." A soldier walked up to Jia Rong and knelt down on one knee and hugged his fist.
"You don't have to be so troublesome in private in the future, you are an old man in the army, don't you even understand this?"
Jia Rong's seemingly harsh language turned into a curling fairy sound in the ears of the soldiers, and no one didn't want to be recognized by the commander, so he replied excitedly: "No." ”
After escaping for his life in the desert, the relationship between Jia Rong and the soldiers warmed up, and the soldiers did not have the previous restraint in front of Jia Rong, and they acted and spoke very openly, so that in exchange for the soldiers' disrespect for Jia Rong, but more respect for Jia Rong.
"Well, keep going, and rest in another hour." Jia Rong ordered.
Every night until the next day the sun shines brightly is the time for the soldiers to hurry, and the hottest time of the day is rest, and even when it is rest, the thirst that is thrown into the heart is not so easy to endure.
After too many winds and waves in the desert, the soldiers are no longer surprised by some natural phenomena in the desert, such as the tornado mentioned above, which changes the color of everyone, but now it is a piece of cake to dodge, as long as you find a low-lying place, the tornado will only whizz by.
Tornadoes are always just a disaster in the desert, without wisdom and without thinking, and after touching the doorway, it is easy to dodge.
A tornado a few days ago not only took the lives of more than 100 soldiers, but also took away a lot of water and food.
According to Zhang Wu, there are still nearly eight days to get out of the desert, and the water in the army is only enough to last for four days, and it is difficult to imagine how to get out of the desert in four days without water.
As usual, Jia Rong came to the middle of the soldiers again, chatting with the soldiers about some common words, the soldiers like to tell Jia Rong what they think in their hearts, among ordinary soldiers, Jia Rong is a very haode listener, such a boring desert march, the soldier's daily pleasure is to chat for a while when Jia Rong orders to rest, as long as Jia Rong is fine, he will participate on time, he needs to understand the soldier's thoughts.
"General? When will we be able to get out? One soldier asked, whimsically.
Jia Rong smiled slightly and said, "Brothers, don't worry, Zhang Wu said that we will be able to get out of the desert in eight days at most." ”
The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this, and it was their greatest wish to get out of this ghost place at present.
"Will we be promoted when we go out?" A soldier who is usually mischievous asked, half-jokingly.
The soldier's words seem to be naughty, but they are the thoughts in the hearts of all the soldiers, what are they following Jia Rong for, is it just a sentence of loyalty to the country that can hold the heart of every soldier?
