Chapter 584: Attack of the Sand Pirates

"Master Hou, there is a piece of Gobi not far ahead, where you can temporarily avoid the sandstorm."

Hu Yanqiu is worthy of being a living map in the desert. He has been paying attention to the inconspicuous coordinates in the desert. He is very familiar with the surrounding environment, and he can point out a clear path for the army at once.

Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo felt relieved.

Just for this, two hundred and fifty battle resource points are not a loss.

He immediately asked Hu Yanqiu to lead the way, and the army began to march faster, trying to find a place to stay in the Gobi before the sandstorm hit.

The tail behind also wants to keep up.

This time, Ouyang Shuo was not so easy to talk to.

He asked Shenwuwei to be in charge of the rear, and on the horse, a wave of arrows rained from behind as a warning.

With this warning, the other party did not dare to approach, and just arranged a few secret agents to watch from a distance; as for the large army, they slowly followed behind.

In the eyes of the lords, there is no need to rush for a long time in the future. As long as you know the whereabouts of the Shanhai City army, you will not be afraid of getting lost in the desert.

How did they know that Ouyang Shuo was already using the sandstorm to dig a big hole for them.

Half an hour later, I saw the Gobi.

Ouyang Shuo ordered the whole army to dismount and pretend to rest on the spot.

In fact, the army is already forming in secret.

At this time, the sky in the desert suddenly became cloudy.

The terrifying sandstorm arrived as expected.

The desert, which was still peaceful just now, suddenly billowed with dust and smoke. Farther away, a sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun swept in like a stormy sea.

The gorgeous sky instantly turned pitch black.

In the whole world, there is only the sound of howling wind.

It wasn't until this time that the Alien Legion following behind realized that the sandstorm was coming, and there was a burst of howling. It is too late to escape to the Gobi like the Shanhai City army.

Because in front of the Gobi Desert, 9,000 elite cavalry have long been ready for battle. As long as there are enemy troops rushing over, they will face a rain of arrows.

This time, the Alien Legion immediately fell into a desperate situation.

Forward and backward are all dead ends.

The violent sandstorm swept over at the speed of a horse.

In the desert, people suddenly turned on their backs.

The Alien Legion finally saw the violent side of the desert.

Even the army of Shanhai City, which was backed by the Gobi, was struggling to support it. If you don't pay attention, you will be swept away by the sandstorm. All of a sudden, people turned their backs on their backs.

Surrounded by the army, Ouyang Shuo couldn't open his eyes at all. Looking up, up, down, left, and right, there are all gray sandstorms, as if you are in the end of the world.

From time to time, screams could be heard.

Every minute and every second felt so long.

In front of the mighty power of heaven and earth, a person suddenly appears so insignificant.

After an unknown amount of time, the billowing sandstorm finally swept past and disappeared into the distance.

Ouyang Shuo struggled to open his eyes, his whole body was gray and covered with sand.

And this is lucky.

Farther away, the Alien Legion, which unfortunately fell into a sandstorm, has been washed to pieces.

In Ouyang Shuo's heart, there was no trace of pity.

"Where are the generals?"

Ouyang Shuo raised his breath and shouted loudly.

"The end is here!"

Wang Feng, Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong came out one by one.

Before departure, it was agreed that Ouyang Shuo would be the only commander of the whole army.

He alone commands the three armies.

Therefore, Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong, the two giants, did not dare to neglect at this moment.

"Immediately rectify the team, and when the enemy is scattered and unstable, completely annihilate them."

Ouyang Shuo drew his sword out of its sheath and pointed it forward.

"Follow the command!"

The blood of the three generals suddenly boiled.

They just like this kind of crisp battle.

As for taking advantage of others?

This is war, not a child's play, and it is not a place for etiquette, justice and shame.

After a little leaning, the army has already lined up.

"kill!"

Under the leadership of three generals, the army came out in full force.

Ouyang Shuo, under the protection of the personal guards, commanded the center and did not attack.

For the Alien Legion, it was simply a bad start.

A sandstorm caused them to lose more than half of their soldiers. Most of the soldiers were not dead, but were scattered by the sandstorm and submerged under the sand dunes.

If the rescue is timely, many remnants can be gathered.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo didn't give them this chance.

The mighty army of Shanhai City came directly rumbling over.

For these lords, at this moment, it seems that the sky is about to collapse!

I regret it!

After listening to Di Chen and others' bewitching, they should have such evil results.

There was no suspense in this desert raid. In less than two hours, the five or six alien legions following behind the Shanhai City army were almost wiped out.

Even the enemies who fled in all directions were chased and killed by their horses.

In front of the desolate Gobi Desert, there are many corpses.

Gusts of wind and sand blow through, and the bones will soon be buried by the sand dunes.

A month later, who knew that there had been a big battle here? Only the bones buried deep under the sand dunes silently tell this unknown history.

This is the desert, calm, violent, tender, and ruthless.

Whichever side is its truest side.

What made Ouyang Shuo's expression strange was that during the fight, he actually saw that his battle contribution value was increasing rapidly. "Is there any contribution value for killing soldiers of the same faction?"

Gaia, Gaia, you really have a black belly!

In this battle, there is no camp at all!

As long as they are not in the same territory, they are all enemies.

The ultimate winner is only one person.

Ouyang Shuo began to understand Gaia's intentions.

In this way, the fight between the lords may become more cruel. Even if Huo Qubing could not be subdued in the end, it would be good to earn some battle contribution points and meritorious service.

After the fight, because he was in a hurry, Ouyang Shuo basically didn't clean up the battlefield and set off directly with his troops. Before the sun had completely set, the army could still walk for a while.

In the evening, it is the best time to march. At this time, the temperature is pleasant, neither hot nor cold. When the night comes, you can only spend it in the tent.

After shaking off its tail, the army easily set out on the road.

"The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river."

Looking at the orange sun, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but think of this poem that has been sung through the ages.

Was the poet Wang Wei at that time also in the same mood?

Ouyang Shuo didn't know.

With the afterglow of the setting sun, it swayed on the golden sand dunes. The army that marched for a day, under the guidance of Hu Yanqiu, chose a suitable place and set up camp in the desert.

As soon as the army stopped, Hu Yanqiu went out to fetch water with a group of people.

The water bladders equipped by the cavalry can last for two days if used sparingly.

During a daytime battle, the consumption of water is even more intense. Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the rest time to quickly replenish drinking water. Otherwise, it will be impossible to march tomorrow.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't even imagine how they would have successfully found the water source in this vast desert if they hadn't recruited Hu Yanqiu.

Dichen and the others are probably the same, right? !

I just don't know if they avoided the sandstorm during the day.

Ouyang Shuo thought maliciously.

...

The next two days were uneventful.

Even the Alien Legion did not see a single one. Ouyang Shuo reckoned that after going deep into the desert, the surviving alien army might have dispersed in all directions.

"Master Hou, in three more days, we will be able to walk out of the desert!"

After camping, Hu Yanqiu reported the itinerary to Ouyang Shuo as usual.

Ouyang Shuo nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work!" What he said was not just polite words, thanks to Hu Yanqiu's guidance along the way, the army was able to move forward so smoothly.

Almost every day, Hu Yanqiu can find the water source smoothly.

There are tens of thousands of troops, and the water has never been cut off again.

It has to be said that this is no small miracle.

In addition to drinking water, along the way, they also found the marks left by the main force of the Han army.

This made Ouyang Shuo very excited.

When he thought that Huo Qubing's department was not far ahead, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help feeling hot in his heart.

Accidents always happen when you least expect it.

This night, for the army of Shanhai City, it was undoubtedly another test of some sort.

On the distant sand dunes in the camp, two figures suddenly appeared.

These two people were dressed in rags, but they were tightly surrounded, with their heads covered. A suit of dusty clothes, in the desert, it is really hard for people to notice.

They have been tracking the Shanhai City army for more than a day.

"Brother, look at the opponent's marching formation and camp layout, it doesn't look like an ordinary Han army." One of them said hoarsely.

"It's unusual." The older person replied in a deep voice.

"Then, why don't we withdraw?" The hoarse younger brother hesitated.

"Withdraw? I want to withdraw too." The eldest brother said with indescribable bitterness, "It's a pity that the village has run out of food, and if we don't make another vote, we will really drink the northwest wind."

"Will it be too risky?" The younger brother was still a little scared.

For these sand robbers, the Han army is an existence that cannot be easily touched. Once you poke a hornet's nest, if you don't pay attention, you will be killed by the Han army, and it will be a big one.

Therefore, not looting officials and troops has almost become an unspoken rule in the sand bandit circle.

Of course, there is one exception to everything.

For example, when cornered.

During this period of time, the Han army frequently used troops against the Xiongnu, and the trade routes were cut off.

The life of Sand Pirates is not easy.

After all, these robbers lived a life of licking blood. If you really want to make them unable to survive, then what kind of crazy things can be done.

No, a group of sand robbers are eyeing the army of Shanhai City. What they are rare is the ration pills carried by the cavalry. After Sand Pirate noticed this magical "pill", he couldn't help drooling.

They have not done anything for a long time, and they are gathering reinforcements.

This time, the two strongest sand bandits in the desert will join forces to make a big one.

The two people on the sand dunes were only responsible for monitoring the outposts of the army.

The real big army, tens of thousands of sand bandits, is still behind them, secretly gathering.

The time for action is set tonight.
