On the way home, we also set foot in the desert again. When we cross the Flame Mountain, the horses will be unable to move forward.
In the same vast desert, under the yellow sand, countless corpses were buried in the cold wind. The empty cold wind seemed to blow from ancient times, blowing the sad hearts of passers-by.
The sun was shining brightly, but without any warmth, Tie Mo walked with difficulty.
Death is flowing in the yellow sand in front of you, and the sound of wind whines and roars, penetrating people's hearts.
In this desert of death, no matter you are a man or a woman, or high or low, the Immortal God will treat you equally.
After passing Wangyue Slope, the camel team turned and headed west instead of returning along the original road.
On the one hand, you can go straight west to cross the desert at the fastest speed; on the other hand, you can bypass the sphere of influence of the Tumut Tribe, enter the Naiman Tribe of the Chahar Tribe, and then go south along the Zhangbei Road.
If you carry too much cargo, you have to choose the safest route even if you have to walk for a while.
Carrying dust all over their bodies, they passed through a place swayed by strong winds. When the setting sun was about to disappear, the camels woke up and got up again.
Looking at the sky in the south, Tie Mo knelt on the ground and bowed several times. Those brothers who died in the desert will never return to Anzhuang Castle in this life.
If there is immortality in this world, may their souls rest in peace.
The stars in the sky are like the light of time roaring silently. If you reach out and touch them, you will grasp the desolation.
Even though I have walked through the desert once, I still don't dare to have the pride of competing with the world. If I could, I would not want to spend the night in this vast desert, no matter how hard it was.
The wind is strong, the cold is boundless, and despair is growing little by little.
On the seventh night, some people finally couldn't bear the severe cold of heaven and earth, and seven more people were buried in this desert forever.
Seeing that Aqige was staggering next to him, Tie Mo reached out to help him, took off the water bag from his waist, and handed it over.
"Drink a sip!"
Aqige reluctantly took a sip, and then looked at the starry sky in the distance with some disappointment, "We have too many goods, and the speed is too slow. I'm afraid it will take another four or five days!"
"No matter how difficult it is, we still have to look forward!"
Tie Mo will never give up. He has overcome so many dangerous obstacles before, so there is no reason why he should fall before dawn.
Another day passed, and Aqige's body became weaker and weaker. Most of the time, he could only move forward with Tie Mo on his back.
When they came, the camel team of more than fifty people persisted for fourteen days, and sixteen people were buried in the wind and sand.
The dawn sun penetrated the fog. I don't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a withered yellow castle looming in the distance.
The Mongolians behind him also saw the scenery in the distance. Someone shouted loudly, and many Mongolians began to shout happily.
Tie Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, he should be leaving the desert!
After more than ten days of raging sand, not only was the person uncomfortable, but even the extremely arrogant Mengmeng became extremely embarrassed. Her originally soft fur became extremely dirty, as if covered with a layer of soil.
Mengmeng followed Tie Mo closely, and when she was about to walk past the withered and abandoned earth castle, Tie Mo's legs suddenly became unable to move.
Mengmeng bit Tie Mo's trouser leg, making a whining sound in her throat.
Tie Mo's heart tightened, could it be dangerous?
Seeing the people in the camel caravan rushing forward like crazy, Tie Mo had no choice but to shout loudly, "Don't mess around, Dingshan, you take people to the front to check out the situation first!"
Zhou Dingshan nodded with difficulty, but before he had time to investigate the situation, he saw a line of loess filling the air in the distance.
Tie Mo is no longer the kind of Wu Xia Amen who has never fought before. He can tell at a glance that it is a cavalry.
Gradually, a group of figures appeared in the field of vision. They rode war horses and made strange whining sounds.
The expression of the Mongolian warrior in the camel team changed drastically. He immediately pulled out his scimitar from the bus and stood in the front as if facing a formidable enemy.
Aqige finally woke up slowly, and when he saw the situation in the distance, his already pale face became even paler, "It's Bayan Khan's people who came for me!"
Tie Mo slowly put down Aqige and tightened the machete in his hand.
He turned around and looked at the Chang family's camel team behind him, and said to Shi Hu in a very low voice: "Brother Hu, keep an eye on the Chang family's people. As long as they dare to harm us, leave no one behind and kill them all."
.”
Shi Hu doesn't care whether Tie Mo's order is reasonable or not, let alone cruel or not. As long as Tie Mo says it, he will execute it without hesitation.
...
The cold wind whistled and the war horses roared.
The cavalry team of more than 20 people in total was not too large, but to the exhausted camel team, it was no different than the god of death descending from the eternal sky.
"Uncle Sanpao, don't be too busy shooting. Find the leader and kill him with one shot!"
After saying these words, Tie Mo roared loudly and rushed forward with the military household beside him.
The two sides did not stop at all, did not say a word of nonsense, and were killed in a blink of an eye. The camel team seemed to have a lot of people, but they were exhausted and lacked defenses, so they were no match for the cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people in the camel team fell to the cavalry surprise attack.
This was the first time Tie Mo faced a cavalry attack. He gathered all his strength and slashed with his sword. However, the Mongolian cavalry on horseback turned over and dodged easily.
Such skilled horse skills, worthy of a nation that lives on horseback all year round.
The sword missed, and before he could make a second blow, another cavalryman rushed over.
Tie Mo instinctively bent down, but the sharp scimitar still left a scar on his back, causing him to break into a cold sweat from the pain.
The cavalryman who rushed over seemed to have no intention of entangled, and rushed straight towards the pale Aqige.
Aqige clutched the scimitar embedded with gems and remained motionless. Tie Mo knew that it wasn't that Aqige didn't want to move, but that she couldn't move. At this time, Aqige was weak and could only be killed.
.
Seeing that one of the cavalrymen was about to rush in front of Aqige, Tie Mo felt anxious and swung his right arm hard, and the machete flew towards the cavalryman like a meteor.
The machete was not suitable for use as a concealed weapon. It did not hit the cavalryman, but the heavy machete knocked him off his horse.
With no time to take a breath, the other cavalryman ignored his fallen comrade and continued to charge forward.
Aqige slowly raised the scimitar with trembling hands. She knew that she couldn't stop it at all. Turning around and running away? That would only make her die faster.
Watching the man and the horse that kept moving forward, they were getting closer and closer, close enough to see the excited smile on the cavalry's face. He must be very happy. If you kill the pearl of the Naiman tribe, you will definitely get a heavy reward from Bayan Khan.
.
At this moment, Aqige's heart was full of despair, tears filled her dry eyes, and her eyes were filled with unwillingness.
I am still young and have not yet got my own golden sword prince-in-law.
Father, my daughter found the Meng Dzi Bead for you, but you will die here today!
Just when Aqige thought that he would return to the embrace of Changshengtian, a figure hit the neck of the war horse hard, and the horse suddenly fell heavily to the ground and let out a painful neigh.
The man was covered in blood and in a miserable state, but he used all his strength to knock a galloping horse to the ground.
