Li Mu was wearing a black cloak on his shoulders and a Shangfang sword representing the authority of the emperor hung around his waist. He was calm and his eyes were firm.

"Are you all full?"

"Hehe, I'm full..." The soldiers said embarrassedly.

"I don't think I'm full." Li Mu smiled.

"Marty," the soldiers were stunned, "We are so full..."

"When you have enough, just make a fucking louder!"

"I'm full!" Everyone shouted with all their might, and their voices soared into the sky.

"This is almost the same." Li Mu's eyes swept over the soldiers and smiled slightly, "It's good that you're all full." After a meal, he said in a deep voice: "This is probably our last full meal..."

"What? What?" With a bang, the originally solemn soldiers couldn't help but panic when they heard the sound. Some veterans guessed it and their faces were pale: "Is it the food..."

More people looked at Li Mu with a nervous expression, hoping that the Marquis was joking with them.

As for the generals such as Su Dingfang, they were even more shocked. I wonder why Li Mu wanted to tell the truth? Let the soldiers know the real situation, and what morale is there to say? Now there is no Turkic people, let alone Xue Yantuo attack, and the army will collapse!

Everyone stared at Li Mu in unison. There was a strong shock, a strong confusion, a strong doubt, a strong panic... If it were ordinary people who were stared at these gazes, they would probably collapse directly. However, Li Mu seemed to have no idea and said to himself without changing his face: "I learned yesterday that Xue Yantuo's 100,000 troops were besieging Dingxiang, and our old nest was taken away!!"

The soldiers sucked in the air. If Li Mu had not been for his usual love for soldiers and his command was as stable as he was, he would have been quite prestigious. At this time, the soldiers would have been lightly cursing, and it would have been possible to directly tear this guy.

You know you're almost out of food and you're not experiencing some food? Don't you know that you haven't eaten any food? Will it turn into shit if you eat too much?

"So, this marquis here announces that we have run out of food." Li Mu said to himself as if nothing had happened: "We have two choices now. One is to withdraw troops. The withdrawal of troops has to face 100,000 Xueyantuo people. The old bastard Tong'e probably won't miss this opportunity to get a bargain. We don't have food, how can we persist?"

The soldiers looked at each other in a speechless manner. They never expected that the situation would take a sharp turn and change so quickly. The heroic army, who had won consecutive battles and chased hard, was about to escape in a blink of an eye.

What is even more miserable than escaping in a blink of an eye is that you can't escape at all... As the Marquis said, there is no food in the army and there are pursuers later, so the retreat plan seems to be completely unworkable.

Li Mu looked at the expressions of the soldiers and knew that the temperature was almost done, so he said loudly: "Fortunately, there is no way out, and our scout discovered Tong'e's hiding place!" "Ah!" As the soldiers exclaimed, Li Mu's full voice resounded over the camp and said: "There is an oasis a hundred miles into the desert, called the Shelter! It is the hiding place prepared by Tong'e, where he stored a large amount of food and supplies..."

"The other way is to break into the desert, rob the Turks of the food and war horses, and go around Xueyantuo's nest. Let's give him a siege of Wei to save Zhao!"

The soldiers heard that Tong'e was discovered at first, but their reaction was not strong enough. When they heard Li Mu say that a large amount of food and supplies were stored in the oasis, they could not hold back! They were ready to swing their hands, wishing they could fly over, and they shouted and asked Li Mu for battle, "Marty! Please give orders, we are willing to attack the enemy's nest and destroy this food!"

"Yes, Marquis, please give an order! We are already hungry and thirsty!" The soldiers were so excited that they were talking nonsense.

The originally depressed morale and the scattered military morale made Li Mu’s news turn around in an instant!

The soldiers rushed their blood, beat their chests and stamped their feet, and howled, wishing they could set off immediately and kill Tong'e and his group so that they could not waste their own food.

The Tang army had already regarded Tong'e's food as its own.

It can be seen that compared to making achievements and getting promoted and making money, the pressure of survival is the first driving force!

Li Mu and Su Dingfang looked at each other and smiled, then sighed: "But the sandstorm is coming. When entering the desert at this time, it will probably be a life-and-death death!"

"So what, it's better than staying here without life!" The soldiers didn't care at all and shouted: "Even if it's a sea of ​​swords and fire, we can still break through!"

"If we get lost in the sandstorm and cannot find Tong'e on time, we will all starve to death in the desert..."

"So what! Instead of dying for a coward, it's better to die and fight for a glimmer of hope!" The soldiers were so passionate about the soldiers, so how could they care so much?!

"Well said!" Li Mu applauded: "This is my iron-blooded man in the Tang Dynasty!" As he said that, the smile on his face swept away, replaced by a solemn face. "I will take you into the desert, wipe out Tong'e, and fight for a way out!" Li Mu's voice became louder and louder, and each word burst out from his mouth with endless determination, and went straight into the hearts of a soldier!

"Even if we die, we will die on the way to kill the enemy, and we must not die on the way to escape!"

"The Tang Dynasty has thousands of victories! The Marquis has thousands of victories!"

"Set out!" Li Mu drew his sword and pointed it to the north, the endless desert with yellow sand rolling on it!

The soldiers responded with a loud blow, and under the leadership of the officers, they all got on their horses and came out of the camp gate one after another.

Tens of thousands of Tang soldiers went north for more than ten miles and entered the desert. Soon after entering the desert, a covered sandstorm came raging. Although the people and horses covered their mouths and noses with cloth coverings, they were still beaten to the point of pain, dizziness, and even unable to open their eyes to see things.

But in fact, it doesn’t matter whether you open your eyes or not, because the world is covered by yellow sand. Even if you open your eyes wide, you can only see one or two feet away. Going further away, the world will be vast and yellow...

The soldiers of the Tang army were basically marching with their eyes closed. Before entering the desert, each of them was assigned a solid hemp rope, and according to the order, the rope was passed through the saddle of the previous horse and tied it to the reins of the next horse. In this way, the horses were connected to the head and tail like a gourd. The people behind only had to follow the people in front and horses in front, without worrying about falling behind because they couldn't see clearly.

In this way, the responsibility of the people leading the way is extremely serious. If you accidentally lead the wrong way, the whole army will follow the wrong way. In this desert, taking the wrong way means the entire army is wiped out...

I believe that before the entire army is wiped out, the soldiers will definitely slaughter the guide who is leading the way first...

But Li Mu was not worried about this problem. Before the scout set off, Li Mu gave Wei Fu a "daobin Stone". This flag was originally a punctuation object sent by Fei Ge's letter, and it became a navigation at this time. As long as the Daobin Stone is located, Li Mu could see the light spots in the system and walk towards the light spots, and he would never be wrong.

Li Mu led the way and walked in front, Su Dingfang blocked the wind on his left, and the two of them were talking hard against the strong wind.

"Marty, this time I'm taking risks." Although Su Dingfang was a powerful general, he still had reservations about Li Mu's courage to act alone in such a sandstorm sky.

"I was just a brave man to death, and a timid man to death." Li Mu said indifferently. After making a decision, he felt relaxed. Just face the rest of the things, and there was no need to worry anymore.

"Look at how far can you go in a day when you march like this?" Li Mu asked loudly.

"It depends on the direction of the wind. If the west wind blows, we will march with the wind at full speed and we will arrive in one day." Su Dingfang frowned and said, "But if the wind moves to northwest wind, I will fight for a day and not even be able to get seventy or eighty miles!" He said, "This wind moves for a while, the west wind for a while, and the northwest wind for a while, and it will be indefinite."

"Then take the average," Li Mu said with great gaze: "You can get there in a day and a half at most."

"Not that counts..." Su Dingfang said helplessly: "In such weather, the horses have a huge physical loss. Can they get there or is it a problem?"

"You can definitely get there!" Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Even if you exhaust your horse, you won't care about so much!"

"How to fight without horses?" Mo Wen frowned.

"In such weather, we will win as long as we arrive at the oasis!" Li Mu said confidently.

Seeing that Li Mu had already considered the causes and consequences clearly, Su Dingtian did not ask again, obviously agreeing with his statement. In such a ghost weather, no one would have thought that the enemy would come to him. I am afraid that he would neglect the precautions and let the soldiers go to the tent to hide from the wind and sand.

If the enemy comes to the door at this time, there is no suspense in the outcome...

The army staggered forward in the sandstorm. The war horses were pushed by the wind for a while and had to run with their hooves, and were blocked by the wind for a while. No matter how hard they were activated, they could not move forward. Fortunately, many horses were connected together, and the power of moving forward together was more or less superimposed, which could resist the power of the world and keep the team moving forward at all times.

The soldiers had to admire that if the chain of horses created by Li Mu had not tied them together, the team would have been blown away for many times, let alone moving forward.

In this way, after countless situations, the sky gradually darkened, and the soldiers suddenly realized that they had been away for nearly a day! The power of their spirit was so terrible that no one expected that they would have been marching for so long in this big sandstorm!

However, the power of the spirit is not omnipotent. Once they realize that they have been away for so long, their bodies, which were destroyed by the storm, finally began to feel the fatigue and hardship of having accumulated a lot...

When the sandstorm was big, everyone had difficulty breathing, so naturally they didn't care about talking and complaining. At this time, the sandstorm became less intermittently, and some soldiers began to complain: "General, I really can't walk!"

"I'm tired and hungry, and I can't move all over..."

Emotions are contagious, and more soldiers start to complain and want to stop and rest before talking.

"Can't stop!" The generals were hungry and exhausted, but they had to be loyal to their duties and intimidated their subordinates: "Once they stop, they can no longer walk!"

"Even if we can hold on, the war horses can't hold on anymore. If we continue, we will be exhausted." The soldiers said again. This is not entirely a reason. For the cavalry, the war horses are their best brothers. Seeing their horses foaming at their mouths and keeping their sniffing, the soldiers were really heartbroken.

"Then let's dismount me!" The officers waved their whips and beat the soldiers on the horse: "I know that the horse is tired and won't let it rest!"

The soldiers had to get off their horses and walk on the reins.

At this time, the junta officer seized the time and began to distribute food along the team. Each soldier was given a portion of two bags, one with soybeans and wheat, and the other with Dingxiang specialty, dry food called "instant noodles".

"Didn't it meant that the food was out of stock?" The soldiers were surprised and happy.

"That's all left, how can you eat it?"

In fact, there is still military ration, enough to have a full meal for half a month. After all, the first batch of military rations has just arrived, so how could it be eaten so quickly? But if Li Mu didn't say that, how could the army have the morale to burn its boats? So it is still a bit scheming to be a general.

Sure enough, after saying this, the soldiers cherished the only food. But they did not rush to eat it themselves, but fed the horses first. The cavalry knew in their hearts that if the horses were gone in the desert, the situation they faced would be worse. The horses were their brothers and their lives. The soldiers opened the bags one after another, and the war horses that had been hungry could not wait to come up and rolled up the beans and wheat in the bags with their red tongues. The food was very sweet. Looking at the horses enjoying the meal, the soldiers were relieved, but their stomachs were like bulging, and they felt even more hungry. They broke a piece of bread and ate only one quarter of them. Although they were still hungry, they knew that they could not starve to death.

Just starve to death. In this case, who dares to expect to eat enough?

At this time, someone shouted: "The Marquis is here."

The soldiers turned around and saw Li Mu gradually approaching with the crowd of generals. It was actually wrong to say that he was coming, because Li Mu and the generals were standing on the edge of the road, facing the slowly moving team, talking to them one by one.

"Mr. Marquis! Marquis!" The soldiers arrived beside Li Mu, stopped what they had done, and paid tribute to the commander.

"Don't be too polite, be careful to sprinkle food." Li Mu smiled and nodded, and shouted to the soldiers: "There are still twenty miles left, everyone will hold on! I heard that the Turks were having a big banquet in the oasis. If we can catch up, we can still drink with them!"

Su Dingfang and others behind Li Mu couldn't help but sigh: "I'm really talking lies with my eyes open. The scout found the mark. It was obviously forty miles away, and I didn't take the wrong path...'

The soldiers were very motivated. One was that there were only forty miles left, which was not too long, and you could get there by gritting your teeth. Two, when they heard that the Turks were holding a banquet, they were angry. It was all my wine and meat!

"Brothers, work harder! Don't let them eat up all our wine and meat!"

"Ao!" The soldiers burst into a warm echo. The strength from somewhere came from, and the marching speed did not decrease but increased!
Chapter completed!
