Chapter 294: Mirage

Chen Shuzhi and his Xuanjia army set off, of course they knew what they were going to face? In addition to the wolf-like Rakshasa army, the most powerful enemy is the weather environment. The desert is dry and hot, and the grassland is in crisis. These things need to be overcome by them.

If the Rakshasa is the most powerful cavalry unit in the world, then the Xuanjia Army is the most powerful infantry army in the world. It's not that the Xuanjia Army can't ride horses, on the contrary, even if they ride horses, they are rare elites in the world. For example, now, in order to speed up the journey, Chen Shuzhi and the Xuanjia army rode all the way, bringing only the necessary water sources and weapons and equipment.

Their aim was to leave their lives in the desert before the rakshasas entered the grassland. In other words, I just don't want them to go out of the territory of Datang!

Of course, Chen Shuzhi would not be stupid enough to think that everything would develop according to his expectations, especially when the opponent was Helian Jun. Last time, he lost under the calculations of Ji Yunkong and Helian Jun, and this time, he was ready to avenge that arrow.

In case they fled to the grassland, Chen Shuzhi was ready to slaughter one or two small tribes in the grassland and replace the war horses. The horses in the grasslands are generally stronger than those in the Central Plains. Hurry up, and you will definitely be able to catch up with them in the steppe area. Although the Rakshasa Army is powerful, after all, it has not been built long ago, and there are not many personnel. And after years of training, the Xuanjia Army already has 10,000 members. It is this simple difference in numbers that can determine the victory or defeat of both sides!

At this time, Helian Jun didn't know that he had been remembered by Uncle Chen.

The army he led had just entered the desert for less than ten days, but it was in these ten days that he had already experienced the moodiness of the desert. There are two biggest characteristics of the desert, one is the extreme temperature difference, and the other is the extreme heat and drought. Fortunately, Beitang Chiwei stayed in the desert for ten years. As early as the time when the Helian army set out, everything related to the desert had already been arranged for them.

What makes Helian Jun even happier is that Beitang Chiwei is in this area of the desert, and her face is really big. The sand bandits wandering in the desert seem to have been taken care of by Beitang Chiwei. Along the way, Helian was not disturbed by any sand bandits. Occasionally, the other party also let himself go. Helian even made a deal with two bandits, exchanging money for necessary food and water.

In addition to these threats, the most frightening things in the desert are sandstorms and mirages. The mirage is okay to say, as long as Helian Jun's head is not broken, with his intelligence, he should not be confused by illusions. But sandstorms are not necessarily, in the face of this great power of nature, even Helian Jun can only pray to heaven not to encounter sandstorms.

I have to say that the scorching heat of the desert is really unbearable, especially when they are wearing military uniforms, and the iron armor on their bodies is baked by the sun, and when they wear it, it is like being burned by a cannon, and if they are not careful, they can leave a scalded red spot on their skin.

In order to get through the desert safely, the Helian army even had strict rules on when to drink water. Moreover, due to the hardships of the march, the consumption of food was also quite large.

Despite this, the Rakshasas persevered, their skin tanned by the sun. After marching for less than half an hour every day, the clothes in the armor would look like they had been fished out of the water.

Even in such a difficult situation, no one cried out for tiredness. Each of them is like an iron-clad man, no matter how exposed to the wind and sun, he only leaves a trace on his face.

In order to train this team, Hu Erhu took them to fight in the grassland. Every day wanders between life and death, and every day is blood and corpses. Compared to that situation, the current exertion and heat can be called heaven.

The armor was not deliberately passed on by the Helian army, but voluntarily worn by every soldier of the Rakshasa army. Without armor and weapons, they have no sense of security, on the contrary, as long as this bloodstained armor is worn on their bodies, even if there is a powerful enemy in front of them, no matter how difficult the environment, they will have the courage to break through!

Helian Jun looked at the men behind him who were riding on camels like iron towers, and a smile appeared in his eyes. This group of soldiers is worthy of his pride!

"Strategist!" Hu Erhu rode on a Bactrian camel with tall and majestic horses by his side, and these camels could only accompany them through the short distance of the desert. Once in the grassland, they are to be discarded. War horses are different, they are not ridden in the desert to save their physical strength, and after entering the grassland, it is their world.

Helian Jun looked ahead in the direction of Hu Erhu's finger, and his eyes suddenly contracted. I saw the sand and dust rolling in front of me, and in the sky, the overwhelming dark clouds were surging and rushing. Under the dark clouds, countless storms entangled, and gradually, a pillar of wind formed into the sky. This pillar of wind is just a thin line in front of everyone's eyes, but it is attacking everyone at an incredible speed.

"Sandstorm!" In the face of such a natural disaster, Helian Jun's voice had a trace of fear, "Quick, run to the right." ”

Helian Jun's idea was to flee along the right, how could the speed of a camel be comparable to a sandstorm? The only way now is to run diagonally along the course of the sandstorm so that there is a chance of survival. As for whether it will deviate from the route in the future, and whether it will get lost in the desert, the current Helian army can't think about it so much.

"Wait a minute, you see." This time it sounded a crisp female voice.

Three Misses! After Helian Jun left Luoyang, he has been following Helian Jun, and he has never left even when he went out to conquer Saiwai. Even she didn't know why she had been following Helian Jun, but she had an intuition that if she didn't follow, she would probably miss the most important thing in her life.

Although the third lady is a woman, these days, she has eaten and lived with the sergeants, and she does not have the pampering and willfulness of everyone's ladies at all. On the contrary, her actions were approved by most of the sergeants. Gradually, they seem to have accepted the peculiar phenomenon of having a woman in the team.

Helian Jun stared again, only to see that the storm in the distance was suddenly cut off. The wind and sand in the sky all dissipated in an instant, the dark clouds between heaven and earth gradually dispersed, and the sunlight shone down again, although it was still extremely hot, but everyone felt very kind.

"This ...... Is it a mirage? Hu Erhu said strangely.

Helian Jun vetoed this possibility in his heart, he hadn't seen a mirage, and he was very confident in his eyesight. Just now, the whole sky was filled with the pressure of mountain rain and wind, and the sandstorm on the opposite side could not be just an illusion. But why did it suddenly disappear? Helian Jun shook his head, these things, if you think about them in the future, the top priority now is to lead the army away.

"Let's go!" Helian Jun shouted and continued to walk forward with the people.

Far away, out of reach. A low tiger roar sounded: "Roar...... Roar ......"

"White Tiger...... I...... Guys...... Let's go, get here...... That's enough...... Go...... Luo ...... The intermittent voice of the "Yang ......" is as muffled as a baby's babbling.

The beastmaster stepped onto the white tiger in one step, and in the blink of an eye, a snoring sounded.

In the world, only the top ten masters can fight against heaven and earth, but it does not mean that the top ten masters will have nothing to do if they go against the sky, at least, the beastmaster is now extremely tired and completely asleep
