Maimaiti bought thousands of haode furs this time, ready to make a big profit in Chang'an! This time I was lucky, I ran into the team of Tang army escorting envoys, and I only needed to follow them with a camel team, and even saved the money for hiring those Qiuzi warriors.

Those turtle warriors who know if they are spies of bandits. His brother-in-law hired them, and he died on the way to Datang for no apparent reason!

Damn sandstorm! I saw that I was about to close the Jade Gate, but I ran into it in the ghost place of Loulan! These Tang troops are really barbaric, aren't they just sandstorms, surround the camels, and they can pass safely. But this time the sandstorm is really big!

Let Maimaiti lose the goods! It's impossible to kill Maimaiti! This is all his savings, if he loses it, what will happen to his wife and children? Oops, the caravan can't be closed! That damn boss......

Damn it! The sandstorm swallowed the camel's most precious fur! Maimaiti hit the horse and rushed into the front of the sandstorm......

The scene in front of him frightened Maimaiti to the ground, and groups of invisible ghosts and fierce spirits ran over in the dust! More than a dozen zombies rushed in front of them and pounced on their camels! The beast didn't have time to scream, and in an instant, it was sucked up by the dried zombies and shrunk into a dried corpse.

I don't want to die! Maimaiti turned his head and shouted while running, wanting to remind the people in front of him, run! But his feet were filled with lead, and he couldn't wipe his steps. A terrifying-looking fierce spirit rushed down, smiled weirdly at Maimaiti, and plunged into his mouth and nose!

Mamaiti was quickly sucked dry of flesh at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in cracked skin, which fell to the ground, and then was blown away by the hurricane......

…………

Zhang Fan stood on the high ground outside the city, looked at the caravan that was caught up by the sandstorm with a telescope, and was dragged into the sandstorm, sighed, and rushed into the city......

"Tang soldiers, listen to my orders!" Zhang Fan shouted as he ran: "Form a defensive formation and protect the envoy!" ”

The heralds immediately issued the order, and the 1,500 Tang troops immediately swarmed the envoys and officials into the large buildings in the center of the city, and then let the caravans that had already run into the ancient city hide themselves in the houses in the city. and raised their shields to defend themselves on the perimeter.

I saw that a continuous piece of yellow light lit up from the Tang army that had formed a formation, blocking several passages in the ancient city!

Zhang Fan was still not at ease, and recited the incantation all the way, sprinkling layers of golden light, adding another layer of protection! Relying on the ancient city, he launched the newly learned war skill 'City Defending Technique'! The defense of the Tang Army in the defense has been raised to another level!

Hundreds of spears peeked out from the gaps in the shield, and the formation of the Tang Army shone with golden light, like a long dragon covered with scales, protecting the ancient city tightly!

One after another, there were merchants who knew the reality of the sandstorm, dropped their goods, ran into the city desperately, and were accepted into the Tang Army's military array! However, the sandstorm was already approaching the ancient city, and more than 100 merchants behind it had no time to run into the city. Together with hundreds of camels and horses, in front of Tang Jun's eyes, he was dragged into the sandstorm by the evil ghosts and zombies in the sandstorm, and turned into dried corpses in a blink of an eye!

After the Tang army was in the back of the battle, he only saw that his eyes were cracked, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out! The hands holding the shield were white from the exertion.

The black-and-yellow sandstorm, mixed with a terrifying hiss, engulfed the ancient city! A huge barbed roller like a mountain crushes the ancient city! It was like a giant beast standing up to the sky, biting the ancient city into its huge mouth like a walnut, and was about to bite this walnut hard to taste the sweet flesh inside!

Countless dried corpse skeletons, screaming and frantically crashing into the Tang Army's formation, like a black-gray wave, impacting the golden embankment! But those dried corpses were washed away by the burst of light, and they were scattered into ashes! Under the solid defense of the Tang Army, the groups of dried corpses and skeletons could not break through, and they all crashed into the shields, turned into sand and dust again, and were swept into the sky!

There are even countless flying resentful spirits in the sandstorm roaring and rushing down! But it also couldn't break through the defensive golden light of the Tang army's formation, and it howled miserably in the golden light and turned into green smoke!

Zhang Fan's 'Six Paths Vajra Mantra' has the ability to transcend evil ghosts!

The merchants and officials in the city who were hiding in the dilapidated houses had already trembled with fear, and shrank in the corners, praying incessantly.

Zhang Fan closed his eyes and silently repeated the incantation, and a cloud of golden light pulsated from his body like breath, spreading it around! The golden Buddha light stained people, camels and horses, and even the beams and pillars of houses, shields and weapons, all dyed them with a layer of gold! When encountering the dried corpses and skeletons in the sandstorm, the evil ghosts and resentful spirits will be overtaken and turned into green smoke and ashes!

Dust to dust, dust to dust!

But the sandstorm seems to be endlessly enveloping the ancient city, and those evil ghosts and ghosts are endless, rotting one after another! Tang Jun seemed to be numb, and the hissing voice gradually turned into a kind of summoning, faintly wanting to summon them in......

Zhang Fan is also physically tired, and his wish power is scattered like sand in his hands, if he falls, then the morale of the Tang army will be lost, and the blessing of his own skills will also be dispersed, and these thousands of lives will be drowned in the sea of sand like this Gu Loulan!

At this moment, the Buddha light emitted by Zhang Fan's body spread in the ancient city, but it stained a building in the east of the city. It was a pile of conical buildings more than ten meters high, and there were still some colored paintings on them, but they were old and eroded by wind and sand, and they were no longer visible.

But just after Zhang Fan's Buddha light was infected, the huge cone building also emitted golden Buddha light, and pulsated with Zhang Fan's breathing! The painted paintings, which were already mutilated and damaged, turned out to be clear, and the golden lines were outlined. Those patterns are actually a statue of a Buddha and a Bodhisattva, Vajra flying into the sky!

This building turned out to be a pagoda! The painting above is a totem of faith worshiped by the ancient residents of Loulan!

The golden Buddha light that was stimulated from the pagoda traced back to Zhang Fan and poured into Zhang Fan's body, instantly replenishing his wishing power. There is also a pagoda itself emitting a thousand feet of Buddha light, straight to the sky!

The sky-high Buddha light broke through the dark sandstorm sky in one fell swoop, and the entire ancient city was painted with a layer of gold, and the Tang soldiers' minds suddenly sobered up and their morale was greatly boosted.

Shouted in unison: "Datang will win!" "The blood-red array of light of a hundred battles emanated from Tang Jun's body, and with the light of the Buddha, the evil ghosts and resentful spirits in front of him, the skeletons and corpses were rushed into ashes in one fell swoop!

From a distance, I saw that the black and yellow sandstorm suddenly shone with golden light, like a walnut in the mouth of a giant beast, turning into a huge grenade, exploding a golden shock wave, and blowing up the sandstorm composed of ghosts!

The sandstorm came and went faster, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was clear, and the sunset was shining, as if everything had just been a nightmare illusion! But the hundreds of dried corpses of merchants, camels and horses outside the city clearly remind everyone how terrifying this territory is!

The soldiers and merchants who survived the catastrophe breathed a sigh of relief, and the captains who led the army began to deploy defenses in the ancient city under Zhang Fan's orders. Prevent possible spooky attacks.

And the merchants, the timid weeping, and the bold, probing their brains, went out of the city, and began to collect the goods that had been blown away by the sandstorm, as well as food and water bladders.

Zhang Fan sent three hundred Tang troops to help the merchant brigade collect supplies, which could not be missing in the desert. Command them to all return to the city before the sun sets! I don't know what else will appear in this strange ruins of the ancient city!

Zhang Fan contacted Akon and Green Wing, but there was still no news. Although he was anxious, he was not messed up, because his public space was not shrinking, which means that the two partners did not die!

So Zhang Fan came to the pagoda in the east of the city and prayed and worshipped. He ordered a team of Tang troops to clean the pagoda and guard it, except for Buddhists who can come to worship, idle people are not allowed to harass!

Then, Zhang Fan walked around the city, measured the length and width of the ancient city, and knew that this relic was the lost ancient city of Loulan. It's just that it's the Tang Dynasty now, and according to modern times, it's more than 1,200 years old, so it's relatively well preserved!

Zhang Fan stood at the head of the city, looking at the merchants and Tang Army soldiers who came back after packing up the scattered goods and supplies, and sighed in his heart, it seems that tonight is a sleepless night!

"From the merchants, select the strong and let them help defend the ancient city!" Zhang Fan ordered his own soldiers.

"Whoa!" A personal guard was ordered to go down.

For a time, there was chaos in the city. The merchants were very afraid, worried that the Tang Army would use them as cannon fodder, and even more afraid of those undead ghosts and terrifying injuries! However, there is a captain who is good at boosting morale, and he said that if everyone does not make a contribution, the Tang army will not be able to defend the ancient city, and everyone's casualties will be even more difficult to avoid. Zhang Fan also performed Buddhism to soothe everyone's emotions.

The recruitment work went smoothly, and these Hu merchants and servants in the Western Regions were accustomed to long roads, had good physical fitness, and had some self-defense skills. Some Hu merchants were originally retired soldiers, good bandits!

Now is a very moment, and the men in the Western Regions don't have so much hypocrisy, and those who can have some martial arts will be on it! More than a thousand strong were selected, assigned to the infantry of the Don Army, assigned weapons, and rotated on duty to rest. Fortunately, there were those who sold steel knives from the Western Regions in the caravan, and there were also those who originally carried blades, plus the soldiers of the Tang Army were equipped with a few weapons, and some spears were brought out to equip these civilians.

Half of these civilians were armed, half of them blocked the two gaps in the north and south walls with the shield soldiers of the Tang army, and the other half went up to the wide city wall to cooperate with the archers to defend the head of the city. The cavalry of the Tang Army ambushed in the city, waiting for an opportunity to attack!

These zombie skeletons in the sandstorm don't seem to be strong in combat, but there are too many of them! And it seems that it mainly relies on biting and sucking the attack of spiritual flesh and blood, and there are not many means. But just now under the protection of the formation, everyone did not suffer any damage. If there are any more weird attacks tonight, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any other kind of goblin, or other way of attacking.
