His feet moved again. Through the moonlight, Jia Rong could see clearly that the sand beneath his feet moved slightly.
"Quicksand", Jia Rong exclaimed.
Fear instantly crawled all over his body. If it were during the day, one could see Jia Rong's face turning pale the moment he saw the sand flowing.
"Everyone, run back, quickly!" Jia Rong said hurriedly.
The sand in the middle of the team formed a small vortex at lightning speed, and the surrounding sand gathered towards the vortex. As more and more sand was added, the speed of the vortex became faster and faster.
As soon as he finished speaking, the quicksand had spread to Jia Rong's feet, as if the quicksand also knew the principle of catching the thief first.
Everyone also discovered this situation. No matter how strong their minds were, their hair stood on end when they saw such a strange sight. The unknown death was the most terrifying thing. The strange whirlpool shattered the morale of the team into pieces.
Without Jia Rong's orders again, after a moment of shock, everyone scrambled and ran in all directions.
Jia Rong also stepped up his pace and headed towards the direction he came from. As he ran, he found that he couldn't take another step no matter what. When he looked down, he didn't know when the sand had buried his calves.
It sank into the sand at a fast speed. Fortunately, the vortex was far away from itself, so the city would be swallowed up in an instant.
Jia Rong struggled to move his feet, but could not lift them. He sighed, maybe the enemy did not kill him but wanted to be buried in the desert. In just a moment, the sand had reached Jia Rong's knees. Could it be that he was going to die in this small desert?
Do you surrender in front of me?
"No! You must not give in!" Jia Rong gritted his teeth and tried his best to crawl out of the quicksand, but his body still couldn't stop the downward trend. For the first time, Jia Rong found that his strength was so small.
Not only Jia Rong, but also many soldiers were struggling hard. Their eyes were wide open and they looked at the sand under their feet in disbelief. They really didn’t understand why the sand flowed and why they sucked themselves in. Each one was about the gods.
Stories of ghosts and demons came to their minds, and hysterical screams came from their throats.
The soldier in the center of the vortex was sucked into the vortex before he could even scream, and disappeared out of thin air.
Many soldiers who were escaping heard the howling behind them, slowed down and looked back. Just one glance was enough to make them unforgettable for the rest of their lives, and they ran farther away as fast as they could in their lives.
Jiang Yu was lucky to be on the outermost edge. He immediately ran away after receiving Jia Rong's order. When he heard the shouts behind him, he looked back uneasily. He saw Jia Rong struggling with just one glance and stopped immediately.
, rushed towards Jia Rong without hesitation.
Jiang Yu's unusual behavior attracted the attention of many fleeing soldiers. After seeing the situation clearly, they followed Jiang Yu's steps without hesitation. From their red eyes and firm eyes, you can see his determination not to escape.
Putting the danger of life in their eyes, how much courage is required? They can die, but that person must live.
In just a moment, more than thirty soldiers rushed in the direction of Jia Rong, their aura of fear of death rising straight into the sky, and the fear caused by the quicksand was much dissipated.
Not far away, Wei Fu kept struggling with her hands, her tears couldn't stop falling, and she kept calling Jia Rong's name. She was held tightly by Ma Teng's wife and Xiao Ma Chao, and Wei Fu couldn't blink her eyes.
Without blinking, he stared in the direction of Jia Rong, forgetting to even escape, and was dragged away by Ma Teng's family members.
When Jiang Yu and others rushed to Jia Rong not far away despite the quicksand, the quicksand had already buried it up to Jia Rong's thighs. On the other hand, Jia Rong's expression was neither sad nor happy, as if he was stunned by the sudden disaster.
In the eyes of the soldiers, this was not the case. Jia Rong's calmness and calmness made the soldiers who rushed over feel at ease for no reason.
Only Jia Rong himself understood that struggling in the quicksand would only make him fall faster, and the situation would be better if he didn't move.
The quicksand is scary, but more and more soldiers are coming towards Jia Rong.
Jiang Yu was so anxious that he ordered all the soldiers who came to the rescue to take off their clothes, tie them together with knots, and throw them in the direction of Jia Rong. Through the moonlight, he could see a whirlpool of quicksand, five or six miles away from Jia Rong.
The place was rotating at high speed, and it happened to be in the direction of the team's advance. Several soldiers were swallowed up by the quicksand before they could even scream. Human life was extremely fragile in the face of nature.
Jia Rong grabbed the thrown shirt tightly and nodded. Jiang Yu tried his best to grab the other end and pull it out. The veins on his arms bulged and his face turned red. He couldn't make Jia Rong move at all. Instead, he was pulled out by the quicksand.
His ankles sank into the sand, but the power of the quicksand was much weakened here, so it didn't have much impact.
There is heaven on one side and hell on the other. On the other side of the whirlpool is heaven, and in the whirlpool is hell.
The soldiers behind him either pulled Jiang Yu or grabbed his clothes and dragged him away. Jia Rong felt the huge force coming from his hands and shook his head helplessly. If he pulled like this, he would probably break his legs.
If it has any effect, in just a moment, the quicksand has already reached the waist, and I believe it will swallow Jia Rong completely within a moment.
Regardless of the danger, a soldier resolutely jumped next to Jia Rong, using both hands to tightly hold Jia Rong's falling body. Jiang Yu and others cooperated to pull out, and Jia Rong's body moved upward slightly, but then
The soldier's body was falling downwards at an accelerated rate.
Jia Rong freed up one hand to grab the soldier's arms and said with a choked tone: "Zhao Ying, let's go out together!"
Zhao Ying shook his head, broke away from Jia Rong's arm, and suddenly lifted Jia Rong upwards with all his strength. His face turned red from suppressing the pain, and he shouted in a low voice: "There is no need for Zhao Ying in the army, and there is no need for generals!"
Jia Rong's tears flowed out like an unparalleled flood. Jia Rong found that there were so many things that moved him in the army, and these brothers were all worthy of being entrusted to him for life.
"No, we are brothers, brothers who live and die together." After saying this, Jia Rong grabbed Zhao Ying's arm tightly again, holding the clothes handed over by Jiang Yu with his left hand, and holding Zhao Ying's arm tightly with his right hand.
Between a moment of relief and a moment of urgency, the body that had just been lifted up slid down to the sand again.
Zhao Ying guarded his eyes with tears in his eyes and advised: "General, you can't do this. Zhao Ying's life is to be a general."
When the soldiers who were exerting their strength not far away saw this scene, their eyes were red. Jia Rong had always regarded them as brothers. It was a different feeling to hear and see with his own eyes. I don’t know how many people were facing life-threatening danger.
Sometimes I gave up on my subordinates without looking back.
And Jia Rong didn't just talk about comforting them, he truly regarded them as brothers.
Seeing that Jia Rong was still unable to pull him up, Jiang Yu became anxious. He let go of his hand on his clothes and was about to go in the direction of Jia Rong, but was grabbed by the soldier next to him.
Without any extra words, the soldier just nodded, and then Jiang Yu, who was left with red eyes, ran towards Jia Rong without hesitation, regardless of the invasion of quicksand. At the same time, five or six soldiers were running towards Jia Rong at the same time.
And go.
It wasn't that Jiang Yu didn't want to give up his life, he could read the soldiers' meaning from their eyes.
After delaying for a while, the quicksand climbed up Jia Rong's waist again. On the other hand, Zhao Ying's situation was more serious than Jia Rong's. The sand had reached his chest, but his hands still dragged Jia Rong's body tightly, with a weird and awkward posture.
Touching.
In the end, Jia Rong chose to remain silent. Three of the rescued soldiers were swallowed by the sand on the road and struggled in vain.
"In order to prevent more brothers from jumping into the quicksand because of you, please cooperate." Jia Rong sighed.
Three or four soldiers came to Jia Rong and pulled Jia Rong upwards. Jiang Yu and others cooperated by pulling the rope tied by his clothes. With one push and one pull, Jia Rong's body gradually broke away from the quicksand, but
The clothes on the legs were torn by the sand, and strands hung on the legs. A trace of blood flowed out, and the whole leg looked like it had been stained by red ink.
Jia Rong was rescued, but the five soldiers stayed in the quicksand forever. They struggled in the sand, but couldn't stop being swallowed by the quicksand. They gradually disappeared without a trace, but their faces showed confusion.
Smiling with tears, this is the scene when five Xiliang Army soldiers died.
After escaping from the danger zone, everyone was surprisingly silent. They were moved by the spirit of the five soldiers and ashamed of their own actions. In the face of real life and death, who can choose to lose their lives without hesitation, and who can
Being able to face death with a smile.
Five soldiers died, but their smiles remained deeply in Jia Rong's mind. Recalling everything just now, Jia Rong was in tears before he knew it.
The quicksand this time reduced the team's strength to 300 people. Fortunately, the water source and dried meat were not lost, so there was no need to worry about basic daily necessities.
"The dead are long gone. The best way to let the dead rest in peace is for the living to work hard to live and make their deaths valuable. Only constant struggle can make all sacrifices meaningful." Jia Rong held tightly.
Fist, keep telling yourself.
"My dear Geng Bi, I will make sure you pay with blood!" Jia Rong's complaints against Geng Bi have reached an unspeakable level, and he wishes he could eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Seeing Jia Rong coming back surrounded by several soldiers, Wei Fu threw herself into Jia Rong's arms with tears on her face and burst into tears. The moment Jia Rong fell into the quicksand, Wei Fu felt that the world had changed in that moment.
She was pale and colorless. If Jia Rong left just like that, Wei Fu felt that she had also lost the desire to continue living. Now seeing Jia Rong come back, she felt happy and sad at the same time. That feeling made people cry with joy.
Jia Rong patted Wei Fu's back gently and comforted Wei Fu. The soldiers around him watched all this with wide eyes. In an era when men and women were not allowed to have sex, even after they got married, men and women could not have sex in public.
They had close contact, but Jia Rong's behavior subverted their cognition.
Many soldiers turned around knowingly, but more Qiang soldiers stared at the two men in the field intently. The Qiang people admired the strong, and no matter what the strong did, they always made sense.
