"Sandstorm!" Zhang Fan was shocked. He had never seen it before. He heard that this Gobi sandstorm was quite powerful and could peel off a layer of skin! Many caravans got lost after the sandstorm!

"Order the troops to advance at full speed and find a shelter before the sandstorm arrives as soon as possible!" Zhang Fan's order was passed down. [bsp;   The Tang army had cars and horses, and the speed of advance was very fast. But it made the caravans that followed behind! The Tang army had no obligation to protect them. However, Zhang Fan was a soft-hearted and could not let go of these business trips, so the Tang army did not march quickly.

But Aken and Green Wing became a little anxious and urged Zhang Fan to let the troops leave quickly.

"Where can you hide in this vast Gobi Desert? You may not be able to hide behind the caravan. Let the spies look forward and see if there is any shelter, let us lead the team here!" Zhang Fan shook his head and said.

Aken thought for a while and said, "I'll drive forward and take a look. It's faster and stay in touch!"

"Green Wings, you go with Akan. If something happens, I'll take care of you. Well, bring some cavalry..." Zhang Fan got out of the car and rode a war horse.

"No cavalry, just go with Green Wings. Willis can run away, hurry up!" Aken greeted Green Wings, and the two got into the car together, carrying a scattered yellow dust, away from the large army!

Zhang Fan continued to advance with the large army and contacted Akan Green Wing every ten minutes to ensure that the straight-line distance between the two sides is within 50 kilometers. You should know that if Willis starts at full speed, it will be more than 300 kilometers per hour. If there is no obstacle, it will be outside the communication distance in ten minutes.

But in less than half an hour, Zhang Fan lost the contact between the two. For the last time, Akan seemed to have discovered an ancient ruin, which was preserved intact and could shelter from the wind. He was about to go to investigate, but then he lost his information.

The direction of the ruins he mentioned was fifteen kilometers northeast, and the distance was not far. Going forward at full speed, maybe you could arrive before the sandstorm came. Zhang Fan asked the soldiers to instruct the caravan to follow up quickly and avoid the ruins of the ancient city for a while.

Without Tang Jun's reminder, the caravan also rushed to drive the camels and pulled the truck forward. Those camels felt more sensitive than humans and knew that something was wrong. The smell of the wind reminded them that there was a lot of wind and sand, and it was coming! It was so big that it could submerge itself! The camels were roaring and rushed forward.

Zhang Fan was also anxious and wanted to leave the team and rush to the ruins first to see what happened. But there were also envoys and officials here that needed escorts, and it seemed that things were not that simple. If they arrived there, they were indeed in danger and they fell down, that was not a joke. He arrived with the Tang army, and perhaps he had a better chance.

With Akan's ability to adapt and Green Wing's skills, there should be nothing that cannot be dealt with. Besides, Willis, it would not be more helpful if he went alone.

Zhang Fan sent a team of Tang army cavalry to investigate the missing area of ​​the two men. He asked them to find the two lieutenants at all costs to bring them back. If there is any danger, the entire army must not fall, and someone must come back to report the news.

It is no trivial to disappear two seventh-rank captains, and it is even more shameful to lose their superiors. According to the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty, the entire army will be punished! This team of cavalry is even more anxious than Zhang Fan.

The sky was already dark, and the sandstorm behind him would probably arrive in half an hour. The cavalry team had already released three teams, but they did not come back all the way to report the news. Zhang Fan rushed to the scene and seemed to be seriously lost. Akan Green Wings had not been in contact for two hours, which was beyond Zhang Fan's patience.

The army and caravan still had a sea of ​​sand in front of them, dotted with several wind-eroded earth platforms, but there was no trace of the remains. Could it be that I was going in the wrong direction?!

If you can't see the remains in another half an hour, you must stay on the spot and start preparing measures to defend against sandstorms on the ground, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Some caravan leaders have even come over to persuade them to stay on the spot. The sandstorm behind them is already dark, so I will catch up with the butt of the subsequent caravan!

At this moment, the last team of cavalry returned!

"Report! Zhang Chanjun, ten miles ahead, there is an ancient city ruin. The city walls are still alive and there is no people. You can temporarily hide from wind and sand!" The cavalry commander immediately bowed and reported.

"Can you find the traces of the two commanders?" Zhang Fan asked anxiously.

"Reported to Zhang Zongjun, no discovery! The two brothers in front were nowhere to be seen, but there were horseshoe footprints on the ground, which were exactly what they left!"

"Order the troops to speed up their pace and move forward in a hurry! Let the five hundred brothers come back to help the caravan go quickly!" Zhang Fan quickly issued an order, "Send another three hundred cavalry to explore the ancient city, be sure to find two commanders!"

"Here!" Several personal soldiers clasped their fists and rushed to various places.

When the caravan heard that there was a shelter in the wind, they were very happy and dragged the camels who were no longer willing to move forward. These beasts were already feeling that the disaster was coming, but they refused to move forward, so they wanted to lie down on the spot. The Tang army who rushed over forced her to pull them up from the ground and drove them forward with the caravan staff!

Zhang Fan asked the remaining Tang army to take the envoys and officials forward first, and to take refuge in the ruins of the ancient city. He and a few personal guards came to the rear team to check the situation of the sandstorm.

Zhang Fan rode a horse to a high ground, took out the blue prop telescope, and looked at the black sandstorm that was not far away!

It doesn't matter when it looks like this, and it scares Zhang Fan so much that the telescope in his hand slides into the dust...

The black sandstorm was filled with evil spirits and evil spirits! They rushed from the sky with their teeth and claws! There were many skeleton zombies running forward on the ground! There was no sandstorm, it was clearly an army of ghosts!

"Quick! Order the team to move forward! Throw the goods quickly! Run!" Zhang Fan immediately ordered his personal soldiers to go down and urge the caravan.

After the personal soldiers were ordered, Zhang Fan picked up a telescope from the ground, calmed down, and continued to check the movements of the sandstorm. Unfortunately, he did not have the ability to calculate Akan and could not accurately calculate how long it would take for this sandstorm composed of ghosts to catch up with his troops!

…………

"This is probably the so-called Loulan Ancient City!" Akan looked at the ruins of the ancient city in the distance and said to Green Wings.

"Probably, I should be able to shelter from the wind. Tell Zhang Fan quickly and let him lead the team here! Let's go in and take a look!" Green Wings urged Willis to move forward.

After contacting Zhang Fan, the two came outside the city. In front of them was a city wall about five meters high and rammed loess. The two of them circled the ancient city. This was a square ancient city with a length of more than 300 meters.

The city wall in the north of the city collapsed, as if it was formed by some impact. The main gate in the south of the city was also partially damaged. Entering from the broken city gate on the south, there were also thick square wooden door frame marks at the door, and the wood of the collapsed city gate was scattered inside and outside the city gate. After passing the city gate, it was found that the wall of the ancient city was nearly ten meters thick! There were thick wood reinforcements inside the wall.

The courtyard walls of residential areas in the city are made of clay that tie reeds into bundles or weaves willow branches. They are made of wooden houses, the pillars of poplar wood, and the doors and windows of the houses are damaged, but the frame is still intact, but most of the roofs are blown off by wind and sand.

There were still broken pieces of daily necessities in the house, and some large furniture items were also broken and scattered on the ground. Pottery fragments, severely rusted bronze products, and some smelted residues can be seen everywhere on the ground.

There is the only building built with thick loess in the center of the city, which is very huge. Although the wooden beams and pillars are already broken, you can vaguely see their original magnificence. It is probably the residence of the city lord or ruler.

In the east of the city, there is a conical mound building more than ten meters high, with mottled colorful paintings remaining on it, but it is hard to tell the difference and I don’t know what it is for.

In the dead city, there was no life. Akan felt depressed and sighed.

Green Wing suddenly said, "Did you hear any sound?"

Aken was startled and listened intently. But he could only hear the low whistle made when the wind blew across the empty house and through the doors and windows.

"There is no sound except the sound of the wind?" Aken replied.

"Listen again, it seems that someone is playing the flute!" Green Wing also listened carefully. She had to carefully distinguish her perception of more than 150, how could Akan hear it.

But the sound of the flute seemed to be getting closer and closer, and even Akan vaguely recognized it, as if familiar, had heard it somewhere. Akan's heart trembled suddenly, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer. Wasn't the sound of the reed flute heard last night? The melodious tune, like a sad lover whispering, and as if the resentful soul's nostalgia for the world...

Aken quickly contacted Zhang Fan, but found that he could not communicate!

Green Wings quickly contacted Zhang Fan, but there was no news!

Something happened! It was not Zhang Fan, but himself!

The two looked at each other and drew out weapons. Akan set up a primary protective barrier on the two - the "Earth Barrier". Here, the earth elements are rich, and this barrier is surprisingly useful.

Willis carried the two of them and walked towards the place where the sound of the flute came from...

…………

The ruins were already close in front of us, and the sandstorm behind us was also chasing us. The black and yellow dust smoke that was connected to the sky and the ground was like a huge roller, rolling on the ground. The strong wind blowing made people unstable to stand!

As long as the businessmen turned around, they were frightened. The camels and horses were already frightened and flew around, lifting the goods and personnel on their bodies down.

Animals are sensitive. They can feel that the terrifying and weird sandstorm behind them will definitely devour their lives! The merchants do not know the terrible scenes in the sandstorm. They just know that they will be flooded in this sea of ​​sandstorms. That will last forever!

It's not just a life of death! That's worse than death! Zhang Fan scolded all the way, asking the Tang army to unload the goods quickly and drag the camels and horses forward hard. Those businessmen who were reluctant to leave their wealth were also forced to run away empty-handed by the Tang army. They turned back from time to time, wanting to go back to rescue the goods, but Tang army was vicious and held their necks with a knife in their hand!

Thousands of troops and caravans stretched for miles. The front troops had entered the ruins of the ancient city, and the merchants behind who were reluctant to give up their wealth were already trapped in the dust storm front!
