Maybe it was because the bloody battle the day before was exhausting, and he was too tired, Ye Feng slept very deeply this night.

When he opened his eyes, he found that it was already dawn.

The shouts of people and the neighing of horses could be heard in the distance, and he turned over and saw that everyone else had already woken up, and now they were all standing in place, silently looking in the direction of the bandit camp.

Looking at them, the men and horses in the bandit camp were rushing back and forth at this moment, shouting loudly, but they did not seem to be preparing to attack, but seemed to be a little panicked and chaotic.

Ye Feng felt strange in his heart, and when he looked at it again, he saw that behind the bandit camp, where the blue sky and the golden sand surface met, the sand and dust in the sky were raised in the distance, and it seemed that it was attacking towards the Devil City.

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "What is this?"

Zhang Fatzi on the side seemed to have just woken up, and looked at the sand and dust with some stunned eyes and said, "We also just found out, I don't know what it is." However, I suspect it may be a sandstorm in the Gobi desert. ”

Dust storm?

Ye Feng had never been to the Gobi Desert before, and naturally he had never witnessed the true face of a sandstorm, but he seemed to have seen a description of it in some records.

Zhang Fatzi continued: "The sandstorm ancients called it wind and haze, which was recorded as early as in the Book of Songs: the end of the wind and haze, the haze and rain. The history books have also recorded that in the first year of Emperor Yong-Kang of Jin Hui, there was a haze in Gansu from the northwest, breaking trees and flying sand and stones, starting to rest in six days, causing a large number of casualties of people and animals. ”

"This sandstorm is said to be a strong wind that picks up sand and stones, and everywhere it goes, trees break and houses collapse, and everything is buried by the dust. No wonder even the horse bandits are so frightened, it looks like we're all going to die here today!"

When he said this last sentence, his tone was full of helplessness and despair, and even his voice trembled a little.

When everyone heard him speak the truth, they didn't realize that they had believed it for eight points first, and suddenly felt a haze of despair surging into their hearts.

Only the camel looked at Zhang Fatzi's quotation from the scriptures, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Nonsense!"

Zhang Fatzi was startled, turned his head to the camel and asked, "Isn't it?"

At this moment, his mood was very complicated, not only was he not convinced by the camel's reprimanding of his nonsense, but also seemed to have some hope that the camel was right, after all, no one wanted to die buried in the yellow sand.

The camel stared at the approaching sand and dust, and said coldly: "You also said just now, the haze is caused by the strong wind rolling up the sand and stones, look at the scorching sun now, where is there a trace of wind?"

Zhang Fat shook his head, there was indeed not even a trace of breeze at this moment.

The camel said: "The kind of sandstorm you just talked about destroying wood and flying stones, burying all such great power, is rare to see for decades, and I have never seen it, do you think you will have such good luck to see the truth?"

Zhang Fatzi was a little unconvinced, and asked with a stiff neck: "Since you haven't seen it either, why do you say it's not a sandstorm?"

The camel sneered and said, "Although I have never seen such a powerful sandstorm as you said, the less powerful haze weather in the desert still often occurs. However, each time it happens from winter to early spring, and this part of the desert is the windy season, and there are often strong winds, but I have never heard of any sandstorms in this hot summer windless season. ”

"What's more," the camel said, pointing to the sand that was getting closer and closer, "if this is really the powerful sandstorm you speak of, don't you think that the dust raised is too small in terms of height and density?"

Zhang Fatzi looked at it carefully, it was true, he was a little speechless for a while, and could only ask stupidly: "Since it is not a sandstorm, then tell me what is the reason for the dust raised."

？”

The camel's eyes were fixed on the dust, and he let out a long breath, and said slowly: "It seems to me that this is a team approaching this way at high speed, and there are very many of them, even far more than these horse bandits in front of us, and this dust is raised by the gallop of the horses under their seats. ”

A large team?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then a thought flashed in their minds, could it be that reinforcements have arrived?

But then everyone rejected the idea.

Now that he knows that the gang of horse bandits in front of him are disguised by the Shazhou Wei led by Brother Nan, naturally the letter they sent to the commander of the Shazhou Wei to ask for help must have been mud cows into the sea, how could he send an army to fight his son?

If it weren't for the reinforcements from their own side, could it be that these horses would be reinforcements from the horse bandits?

Everyone had just had a glimmer of hope, and they all sank again.

The only thing Ye Feng didn't understand was that if these were the reinforcements of the horse bandits, then as the sand and dust gradually approached, why did these horse bandits in front of him seem more and more frightened and chaotic?

Once again, the camel's words turned out to be correct.

As the sand and dust got closer and closer, a group of people appeared on the high sand beam under the blue sky.

Their numbers were very large, and from a distance, there were about 2,000 of them, pouring down from the sand beams like a colony of ants.

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, according to the establishment, the total number of guards in Shazhou should only be one thousand seven or eight, except for the hundreds of people dressed as horse bandits in front of him, where are there so many people?

In the hot sun, he could see the blinding light reflected from the armor on these men. They are wearing the standard armor of the court officers and soldiers, they are not horse bandits, they are officers and soldiers!

Closer, Ye Feng gradually saw their banner clearly, and their military flag was clearly embroidered with the two words of Douda: "Suzhou"!

They are not horse bandits, nor are they Shazhou guards, but the Suzhou guards stationed in Suzhou!

Reinforcements!

Everyone saw it clearly at this time, and suddenly everyone was overjoyed, waving the things in their hands, and bursting into cheerful cheers, and Zhang Fatzi was even more happy.

Reinforcements arrived, saved!

In the midst of this joy, Ye Feng still felt a little strange in his heart, why did this Suzhou guard suddenly appear here, and they didn't ask Suzhou Wei for help?

Could it be a coincidence?

These Suzhou guards were all heavily armed light cavalry, and they rushed over, and soon surrounded the Shazhou guards dressed as hundreds of horse bandits, and waited for them.

And these horse bandits, or the sergeants of Shazhou Wei, seemed to have been stunned, and in the face of the sudden appearance of two thousand elite soldiers, they seemed to have completely given up resistance, and they were stunned one by one.

At this time, Ye Feng saw the door flag in the middle of the Suzhou Guards' formation, and one person and one rider walked out of the formation, slowly walking towards the valley mouth.

The person on the horse was dressed in military uniform, his face was like a crown of jade, and his whole body was heroic, but it was the little marquis of Xining, Song Hu!

Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi glanced at each other, and they both secretly wondered in their hearts, why did Song Hu appear here with the army so coincidentally?

Ye Feng and their horses had all been lost in yesterday's battle, so he could only meet Song Xiaohou on foot at the moment.

Behind him, the camel didn't understand, turned his head and asked Zhang Fatzi suspiciously: "Who is this person?"

Regarding the situation in front of him, Zhang Fatzi actually didn't understand, in his mind, Song Hu, who had just led the army to besiege Lanzhou City not long ago, was really not a good person.

But now it was this Song Hu, who was not a good person, who led the troops to save everyone, he didn't come back to his senses a little, and said in a daze

"He is Song Hu, the little marquis of Xining. ”

Naturally, the camel had heard of this man, and let out an "oh", but he still didn't understand the situation in front of him, and asked, "Why did he bring so many soldiers to save us?"

Zhang Fatzi glanced at the camel, before this camel had always been an omniscient cold and arrogant face, but at this moment, how did it become so many problems, even Zhang Fatzi himself didn't understand the questions he asked.

He replied a little angrily, "Why don't you go up and ask him yourself?"

Here, Song Hu sat on the horse and watched Ye Feng come over, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said, "When we broke up last time, Ben Hou said that there would be a period in the future, but I didn't expect that the goodbye period would come so quickly. ”

Ye Feng also smiled self-deprecatingly, recalling that he was still the winner when he broke up last time, but when they met again this time, they became the embarrassed person who was saved by him.

At this moment, he couldn't care much more, and asked Song Hu with doubts: "How could Song Xiaohou Ye lead the army to appear here, and coincidentally save the lives of the next group?"

Song Hu's expression looked very surprised, and he asked rhetorically: "Didn't Ye Gongzi send a letter to inform Ben Hou that you were trapped here in Devil City, and asked me to lead the army to rescue?"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment.

When did he send a message to Song Xiaohou Ye Feige for help?

The only letter of help sent by the flying pigeon was not sent to the commander of Shazhou Wei, who was sleepy?

What the hell is going on?

Seeing Ye Feng stunned with a blank expression, Song Hu said: "Ben Hou was still at the border of Ganzhou the day before yesterday, and suddenly received a flying pigeon message from Ye Gongzi, saying that he was besieged by horse bandits, and he was defending in this devil city, hoping to send reinforcements to help him quickly. ”

Ye Feng listened, isn't this what he mentioned in the letter he wrote to the sleepy person asking for help? How did it end up in Song Hu's hands?

Song Hu continued: "After Ben Hou received the letter, he expected that the situation must be urgent, so he immediately went to Suzhou with the starry night Pegasus, mobilized the two thousand light cavalry garrisoned by the Suzhou guard, and immediately set off, galloping for a day and night, before arriving here. Fortunately, it was just in time, and it wasn't too late. ”

Ye Feng's expression was still a little stunned: "The closest should be Shazhou, why did the little marquis choose to go to Suzhou?"

Song Hu snorted coldly and said: "Ben Hou has already asked Shazhou Wei to protect your safety, and now that something has happened, I'm afraid Shazhou Wei will also be implicated." That's why I chose Suzhou Wei, what's wrong?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "It's okay." In his heart, he was secretly glad that Song Hu did not choose to go to Shazhouwei first.

Song Hu looked at Ye Feng, who was full of doubts, and was also puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Ye Gongzi, what is going on?"

Ye Feng sighed, so he started from the first time they arrived in Dunhuang and came to set up a banquet and entertain them, until yesterday, they stayed bloody for a whole day, and told Song Hu everything that happened in between.

After hearing this, Song Hu took a deep breath and exclaimed: "Ye Gongzi, you can only defend here for a whole day in the face of so many horse bandits with the strength of more than ten people, which is really amazing and admirable. ”

"But," he frowned, "Ben Hou did send a letter to Sleepy Immediately, asking him to ensure that Ye Gongzi and your group are thorough, but now you say that this group of horse bandits is pretending to be a Shazhou Guard sergeant led by his son Brother Lan, how dare Sleepy Lai be so bold and do such a thing?"

"What's more, Ye Gongzi, you said that you obviously sent a message to the sleepy flying pigeon for help, why did this distress letter reach Ben Hou's hands, what is going on?"

Seeing that Song Hu was becoming more and more confused, Ye Feng's heart was a little brighter, and he gradually sorted out some clues. It's just that there are still a lot of things that need to be confirmed by someone.

He raised his head and said to Song Hu, "Little Marquis, can you talk to Brother Lan alone?"
