One after another, on this extremely wide area of yellow sand, countless soldiers in armor climbed out.

Although they were all dusty, at least they survived, and many of them were slumped on the ground, gasping for breath.

One of the soldiers kept pulling in one direction, and a young man who was also covered in yellow sand and looked embarrassed was dug out.

This person is none other than Su Qi'an, who is the commander of the army.

Su Qi'an shook the yellow sand on his head, looked up at the people around him, and hurriedly said.

"Tong Zhan, everyone's okay, hurry! Count the people. ”

Tong Zhan received the order, quickly shuttled in front of countless soldiers, and the order was issued, and the soldiers who crawled out of the yellow sand began to assemble according to the array.

It took almost half an hour to finish the count.

Of the 2,500 people in the whole army, only more than 1,800 remained, and of the remaining 700 people, only the bodies of hundreds of people were found, and the rest should be missing.

This number was reported to Su Qi'an, his face was solemn, although he was prepared in his heart, but he really encountered the loss of nearly a quarter of the people, Su Qi'an's was still difficult to accept.

This is the cruelty of war, not everyone will die on the battlefield, like this, because of the mission, accidentally disappeared, there are not a few.

Su Qi'an didn't have time to be sentimental, their task was not completed, and now this sandstorm had blown them to an unknown place.

Now you have to quickly identify the location, and it is very dangerous to get lost in the desert.

Fortunately, after the dust, the sky ushered in a brief period of clearness, and according to the position of the sun, even if it is impossible to tell the position, at least it knows the south, east, west, and northwest.

The military city of Zhenjun is located in the north, and the military city they are going to when they go out of the city is also in the north, and as long as they go all the way to the north, they will definitely reach their destination.

After identifying and registering the soldiers buried in the desert one by one, and after burying them, Su Qi'an quickly gathered his army and headed towards the north as fast as he could.

The army set off again, but after setting off, Su Qi'an may not even think of it, because he registered the move of burying the fallen soldiers.

It has left a good impression in the hearts of these soldiers.

These soldiers, who were raised by wealthy families, seemed to have a good status.

In fact, in front of those wealthy marquis, they are just chess pieces that can be discarded at any time.

These marquis will only put their own life and death first, and as for them, they are just dispensable.

Like Su Qi'an personally registering and burying, it is impossible for those sons.

Su Qi'an's demeanor, even if it was a show, was deeply moved by the soldiers.

Since they joined the army, they put life and death out of the way, and dying on the battlefield is their destiny.

But to get a minimum of respect and treat them as a person, only Su Qi'an gave it, and for this reason, some of the opinions hidden in the hearts of these soldiers completely dissipated at this moment.

Su Qi'an's army ran wildly all the way, after experiencing the dust just now, the road behind was like being favored by the goddess of luck, and there were no accidents along the way.

Just when Su Qi'an's army was back on track, less than fifty miles away from the first military city.

Su Qi'an stopped at this time.

In front of him, there was not an endless desolation, but two huge peaks.

The mountain peaks are huge, and if you want to pass through them, there is only a narrow passage in the middle of the pile.

The passage is very narrow, only about ten meters, and the two peaks are high, which is a natural ambush point.

Of course, there are other roads besides this moat, but that road can only be detoured, and this detour will have to be delayed for at least another day.

This is impossible for Su Qi'an, who is short on time.

"Mr. Su, the road ahead, let me take someone to explore the road."

Between Su Qi'an's solemn brows, a burly captain surnamed Xu walked out.

This person Su Qi'an knew, he was a member of the Tiger Army, and he didn't respect Su Qi'an at first, but after the Nancheng District Blockade War, Captain Xu's attitude towards Su Qi'an changed by 80 degrees.

Captain Xu is a straight man, there are not so many circles, if you want to gain his respect, you have to show your hands on the battlefield.

For this kind of mindless martial artist, Su Qi'an still trusts it.

It's just that this time, Su Qi'an did not agree to Captain Xu's initiative to ask.

The reason is also very simple, Captain Xu is a heavy infantryman, if he goes to explore the way, if there is really any accident, I am afraid he will not be able to get out.

The best choice is a cavalry with a lot of experience, such a person Su Qi'an has in his hands, but he doesn't want them to take risks.

This kind of cavalry, every one is a treasure for Su Qi'an, even if this army is temporarily assembled, but if you want to survive and be safer, the cavalry is indispensable to take the lead.

After thinking about it, Su Qi'an turned his head and said to Tong Zhan, "This time you dare to go with me." ”

As soon as these words came out, Tong Zhan was stunned, and before he could speak, Captain Xu hurriedly said.

"Mr. Su, this can't be helped, how can there be a commander to explore the way, isn't this a slap in the face of our subordinates?"

"Mr. Su, Captain Xu is right, you are the commander of this army, you must not go to such a dangerous thing, I promised Master Hou to ensure your safety."

For the two of them, Su Qi'an shook his head indifferently and spoke.

"Don't worry, I, Su Qi'an, won't gamble with my own life, you are not suitable for this pathfinder, you all have your own tasks, and you are indispensable at a critical moment."

"Tong Zhan, come with me, let's go back quickly, believe me, this exploration may give you a surprise."

After speaking, Su Qi'an threw off the horse rope, and the horse under him stepped on all fours and walked away.

At this time, Tong Zhan could only keep up quickly, and before leaving, he instructed Captain Xu.

Stand guard at the gate of the moat, wait for his order at any time, and rush in as soon as there is any movement in the moat.

The two of them rode and disappeared into the moat in the blink of an eye.

At this time, on the other side of the moat, there was a large army parked.

After a while, a team of about a dozen people slowly walked into the moat.

Looking carefully, the leader is still Su Qi'an's old acquaintance.

This team is none other than Zheng Liang and Zhao Ang, who divided their troops with Su Qi'an.

According to the agreement, Su Qi'an went north, Zheng Liang and Zhao Ang went south, and somehow, Zheng Liang and Zhao Ang also came to the north.

Eyes pulled in, this team of more than a dozen people was walking, and Zheng Liang and Zhao Ang, who were the leaders, seemed to be talking about something.

"Brother Liang, are you serious? When I get out of the moat, let me go? ”

"Foolish brother, we came all the way from Kyoto to this Ningzhou border, isn't it just to make a contribution? But this war has exceeded my brother's imagination. ”

"You have also seen that Forestry and Liu Qing have been killed, Zhou Yan has run away, you are the only seedling of Zhao Guogong's grandchildren, and you can't take your life here."

"Brother is not very capable, I can only help you get here, and please don't be surprised by the foolish brother."

"Hey, what did Brother Liang say, Brother Liang's kindness, Brother Fool remembers it in my heart, as long as Brother Fool can return to Kyoto, I will definitely let Grandpa help Zheng Guogong in the court."

Zhao Ang looked like he was swearing.

Regarding Zhao Ang's example, Zheng Liang waved his hand and said, "Foolish brother, this is all a trivial matter, let Brother Wei send you a section, and the foolish brother behind you should take care." ”

Zhao Ang nodded solemnly, with indescribable excitement on his face.

Zhou Yan's escape touched Zhao Ang a lot, he didn't expect this Zhou Yan to be so slippery, and he ran away in one step.

And he wanted to carry out such a dangerous mission, just when Zhao Ang went out of the city, he planned to take the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole to slip away.

Zheng Liang broke his thoughts as soon as he left the city, and instead of reproaching, Zheng Liang gave you advice and helped him escape.

With the help of Zheng Liang, after leaving the city for two days, Zheng Liang finally found an excuse.

On the grounds of pathfinding, he mobilized his henchmen and went to explore the path with Zhao Ang.

Zheng Liang's move not only showed that he was a pioneer, but also took the opportunity to win a wave of people's hearts.

Zhao Ang, who watched this scene, was very impressed.

Zhao Ang also asked on the road what to do with Zheng Liang after letting him go.

Zheng Liang also thought of a way back for himself, and said that there was a mountain rock slipping in the moat, causing himself and Zhao Ang to be separated, and Zhao Ang was not known.

Even if he is found out in the future and blames him, it is a big deal to bear it himself, and with Zheng Liang's identity, the above will not dare to do anything to him.

Such an explanation made Zhao Ang moved, his good brother deserved to be a good brother.

In the future, Brother Weiliang will be a saddle, Zhao Ang thought in his heart.

After walking for a few more minutes, he came to a corner, Zheng Liang arched his hand and said to Zhao Ang.

"Foolish brother, go, after returning to Beijing, say hello to Zhao Guogong for me, and wish you safety here for my brother."

"Brother Liang, don't say anything, the foolish brother is waiting for the good brother to return to Beijing, and drink the wine with the foolish brother."

Zhao Ang had tears on his face, arched his hand to Zheng Liang, and then pulled the horse rope, kicked his feet, and the horse under him galloped quickly.

Looking at Zhao Ang's distant back, the reluctance on Zheng Liang's face was suddenly replaced by a solemnity, and he muttered softly.

"I'm sorry, foolish brother, it means more to you dying here than returning to Beijing alive!"

Behind Zheng Liang, more than a dozen henchmen, I don't know when, took a bow and pulled arrows early, and the sharp arrows were aimed at Zhao Ang's back from afar.

With a wave of Zheng Liang's big hand, more than a dozen sharp arrows shot out in unison.

Without any incident, the sound of a horse neighing as it fell to the ground sounded.

This Zhao Ang, who wanted to fight in Ningzhou and make military achievements like other sons, was shot into a hornet's nest by arrows like this.

He never imagined that Zheng Liang, who had always trusted him and was also from a famous family, would actually do a black hand to him.

It's a pity that he is destined to be taken to hell in a daze.

Looking at Zhao Ang's struggling body and completely out of breath, Zheng Liang nodded, and was just about to give the order to his henchmen to bring Zhao Ang's body back.

Suddenly, Zheng Liang turned his head violently, stared at the front with a pair of sharp eyes, and shouted loudly.

"Someone, come out for me!"

At the same time, the arrows in the hands of a dozen henchmen behind him were once again aimed at the boulder protruding from the side in front of him.
