Chapter 256: Chasing the Soldier

The sun is like fire, and the red sun shines brightly.

In this vast desert where there are gravels and gravels, the group is moving forward with difficulty with the hot sun on their heads that can kill people.

Looking up, the desert is so desolate that there is no bird in the vast sky, and there is no beast on the endless ground. The scenery in my eyes is always endless sand and stones.

The floating sand constantly erodes the ground and the landform changes constantly. Here, there is no mark, the sand is blown by the wind forever, and the footprints of people and horses are quickly covered by sand and stones, and are no longer known to everyone.

Yellow sand hits the face. Even if the thick scarf is covered on the face, you can still feel the powerful power of the sand flow.

"Chen Dahai." A man suddenly shouted loudly.

The person walking in front immediately stopped. He turned his head and asked respectfully: "Master Liu, why should I greet the younger one?"

Liu Zhengzhong stepped forward, stood beside him, and asked softly: "How long will it take to reach the oasis?"

"It's almost right in front." Chen Dahai thought for a moment and answered immediately.

"Just in front?" Liu Zhengzhong frowned. He looked at the obviously exhausted team behind him and said, "Have you said this sentence several times?"

"This time it's true, it's almost here." Chen Dahai swallowed and spitted, but his throat was still dry, and his voice became hoarse.

In the desert, what is most lacking is water. Without water, there is no life.

There are not many water bags on the horse's back, but they cannot drink them unlimitedly. Here, the two leaders, Zhang Zihua and Liu Zhengzhong, are not the ones who are best taken care of.

Those who have the right to drink water are those already listless horses.

"Our number is less." Liu Zhengzhong sighed.

"Not bad, two are missing." A thick voice came from behind him.

Liu Zhengzhong quickly turned around and said, "Mr. Zhang."

In the desert, the weather is harsh and the temperature difference is even greater. At noon, the poisonous sunlight shines down, which allows people to clearly understand how the buns in the steamer are steamed.

When it comes to night, it becomes gloomy and windy. Although it cannot be said that it turns into ice by dripping water, it is not far away.

Such a harsh climate is definitely a fatal killer for the Han people who have injuries on their bodies.

In half a month, they had lost more than half of the people. These people did not die under the enemy's swords and guns, but in the unbearable ghost weather. Due to the lack of medicine and water, they had to carry out an endless march here, and the seriously injured warriors fell into their eyes one by one forever.

Today, the remaining number of people are only fifteen.

"Are two more?" Liu Zhengzhong's eyebrows thumped slightly, and a thin layer of water mist dissipated in the hot air.

"Chen Dahai, can you be sure?" Zhang Zihua's eyes were splashing with brilliance, as if he could see the simple face through the thick gauze.

Chen Dahai nodded without hesitation, and said, "Before the young man joined the army, he was a traveling businessman who walked on the sand. He has already walked this road a lot, so don't worry."

After a surprised look at each other, Liu Zhengzhong asked, "Why do you want to join the army?"

He had been walking silently for a long time, and if he didn't say a few more words, he felt really panicked.

"I went on a long trip and after I came back, my home was gone."

"What?" Liu Zhengzhong was puzzled.

"The Huns have been here." A trace of pain flashed in Chen Dahai's eyes. After so long, his voice was still full of hatred: "They just fought Qiufeng."

"ah……"

The team fell silent again, and their swaying figures grew longer and longer in the gradually descent of the sunlight until Chen Dahai suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Zihua asked in confusion, and a strong ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart.

Chen Dahai slowly turned around, and his eyes were filled with deep despair and guilt.

Liu Zhengzhong shivered and asked, "Chen Dahai, what happened?"

"Oasis...here..." he murmured.

Zhang Zihua and Liu Zhengzhong looked around, but in their eyes there was still an endless piece of yellow sand flying. How could they see a little green here?

Zhang Zihua's face became increasingly ugly, but his tone was still not panicked: "You said this is an oasis?"

Nodding with difficulty, Chen Dahai's mouth was filled with bitterness that was hard to swallow: "I have been walking in this desert for decades, and this is indeed an oasis."

"Then why is it gone?" Liu Zhengzhong asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Chen Dahai sat down on the ground, his voice no longer had the confidence of the past, and his eyes were even more silent.

Liu Zhengzhong looked around for a while again, and finally smiled bitterly: "Is this God's will?"

Although I don’t know how far the next supply point in the desert is, one thing is certain that the water they currently store will definitely not be able to support it.

"Get up..." Zhang Zihua shouted lightly.

Chen Dahai looked up blankly, but what he met was a pair of eyes full of unyielding fighting spirit.

"Don't admit defeat. If you fall down here, then we really can't move forward." Zhang Zihua changed his previous fierceness and squatted beside Chen Dahai and said, "You have to take us all out."

There was a trace of vitality in Chen Dahai's eyes, and a young flame called hope was beating in his heart and gradually growing.

"Don't you blame me?"

"You are our eyes, can we blame our own eyes?" Zhang Zihua's mouth showed a rare harmonious smile.

New power seemed to be injected into his body. Chen Dahai, who was already exhausted, suddenly stood up, and his eyes became firmer: "Okay, let's go to the next supply point."

"So what about eating water? How long can I last?" Liu Zhengzhong asked.

"There is a way." Chen Dahai's eyes moved to the horses in the team.

"Kill the horse, take blood, and cut flesh." Zhang Zihua ordered coldly.

A sharp dagger was pulled out from the horse's neck, and the blood was sprayed out. Several soldiers were prepared, and several water bags followed one by one without wasting a drop.

There was a hint of unbearableness in Liu Zhengzhong's eyes, so he turned his head away. His eyes swept across Chen Dahai's face. The scout from the Red Ocean looked indifferent, as if this was natural. His eyes moved down and he saw Zhang Zihua with a blank expression.

"Commander Liu, do you think I have no mercy?" Zhang Zihua suddenly asked.

Liu Zhengzhong was stunned and asked strangely: "Why did Mr. Zhang say this?"

With a smile, Zhang Zihua did not answer, but said slowly: "Since that day, Zhang died and advised His Highness the Crown Prince, he has given up the word "mercy".

Liu Zheng was in the center of the center. As the commander of the Huanglong Legion, he was not unfamiliar with the changes in the royal palaces in the capital. Of course, he knew that the day Zhang Zihua was referring to was the day when Liu Zhengqi entered the palace to meet the saint and asked Emperor Xian of Han to give him a marriage, and it was also the day when Zhang Zihua broke his arm.

Zhang Zihua took the towel and took a deep breath. Although it blocked the erosion of wind and sand, he could not breathe happily through the thick facial towel.

"I felt a murderous aura behind us..." He closed his eyes and said lightly: "Someone is chasing us."

"Brother Chiduo, our path is right."

There was an excitement in Kan Zhi's eyes. He licked his slightly dry lips and whispered.

"Have you taken out the bone?" Chi Duo asked.

"That's right, a Han corpse was found. Depending on the situation, we died for less than a day. We were about to catch up."

Chi Duo narrowed his eyes, and he looked up at the front, but still saw nothing.

"Where is going ahead?"

"Oasis." Kan Zhi sneered: "It is an oasis that still existed several years ago."

Hearing something in his words, Chi Duo looked back and asked, "What about now?"

"No more." Kan Zhi said with a little regret: "Two years ago, it was destroyed by wind and sand." His voice suddenly rose: "I really want to take a look. They felt when the oasis turned into a desert."

"There must be veterans in their team who are familiar with the terrain." Chi Duo said calmly.

"Hehe... what he is familiar with is the terrain from several years ago, otherwise they would never have taken this path. They would go directly to the second supply point."

"Is the second one?" Chi Duo said a few words, and suddenly said, "What if we rushed to the second supply point directly?"

Kan Zhi was stunned, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Brother Chi Duo said it well, just that. We turned around and rushed to the next supply point to wait for the rabbit."

"No need." Chi Duo declined lightly.

"Why?" Kan Zhi asked in confusion.

"I will naturally not stop Brother Kan Zhi from going, but I am very interested in that Zhang Zihua and want to see how long he can walk behind him."

"Zhang Zihua? Are you talking about the disabled person who has a broken arm?" Kan Zhi asked in surprise.

Hearing Chi Duo's tone, he was very concerned about this person, and it seemed that he also valued three points compared to Liu Zhengqilai.

"Yes, although he is physically disabled, his heart is not disabled. If possible, I would like to go there for a while." Chi Duo said in a deep voice.

Kan Zhi looked at Chi Duo with a look of anticipation in confusion. He muttered in his heart for a while and said, "Why should Brother Chi Duo be so troublesome? If you are willing, the men will capture him alive and tie him to his brother and let him be dealt with."

"Catch alive? I'm afraid..." Zhiduo's words were filled with a hint of disdain. He put his eyes in front of the telescope. Through the flashing lenses, he seemed to see the chief adviser of the East Palace of the Han Dynasty, who was lacking an arm, but was calm and ruthless, and ruthless.
