Chapter 417
The first two boats, the fastest, almost neck and neck, on the left is a dark-skinned young man, and on the right is a beautiful young woman.
The swarthy man had good eyesight, and saw that although the camel team in front of him was panicked, in the midst of shouting, he had quickly contracted the formation.
The first dozens of camels desperately rushed back, and the rest tried their best to form small circles, not far from each other, camels kneeling outside, guards setting up musketeers inside.
The swarthy man said to the woman: "Pulling the yarn, there are many people on the other side, and the formation speed is very fast, it seems to be hard stubble!" The
beautiful woman named Rasa sneered, "Whether they are hard stubble or not, in front of our 'Balu Balu' sand pirate group, they are all local chickens and dogs."
The man frowned: "Rasha, don't underestimate the enemy, you see, those guards seem to know the battle formation, the weapons and equipment are not bad, if you eat hard, I am afraid of casualties."
Lasha also saw dozens of small circles in front of her that were heavily guarded, hesitated, and said to the man: "Saba, our family is running out of food, and we can't find food anymore, what should we do?"
Saba did not speak, just stared ahead, at this time about five hundred meters away from the caravan, several of the fallen abandoned and returned to the large army, and defended in place, and the large group behind was already in formation.
In the nearest circle, a dozen or so guards were scrambling to reload their bullets, and Saba could even see the panic on their faces.
The voice of the rabbit sounded again, "It's too late to retreat now!" Might as well give it a try!
Saba was fierce and gritted his teeth: "Okay, fight!" He shouted at the group of shackles behind him, "Brothers, everyone pay attention to safety, use prying tactics!" "
Received!"
"No problem!"
The group of sand thieves, apparently well-trained, responded loudly, and immediately split into two teams, outflanking them in columns from the left and right directions, seemingly intending to surround the camel caravans.
Seeing the sand thieves gradually approaching, Hicks stayed in the largest circle in the middle, feeling that the sand under his feet also trembled slightly, and the scar-faced leader beside him said urgently: "Boss, these thieves are fast advancing 100 meters, don't you order to shoot?"
Hicks' palms were sweaty, he had already identified the enemy, and the opposite crowbar had a striking pattern printed on it, a bearded skull, which was supposed to be crossed bones, but replaced by two strange umbrella patterns.
This is the unique flag of the 'Balu Balu' bandits.
Hicks knows sand pirates very well, especially 'Baru Balu', the most powerful sand pirate gang in Alabastan, although not very many.
But all of them are bandits, the key is that their skills in controlling sand skid are extremely good, they are targeted, it is difficult to get out, and the speed is too fast, it is difficult to aim at all, and now they shoot, purely by luck.
"Wait, they're luring us to shoot, wait a little closer, let everyone stabilize..." Hicks guessed the other party's intentions.
On the side of the sand thief, Lasha and Saba each led a team, quickly approaching the camel team from both sides, and at this time it was within 100 meters, but the other party still did not react.
Lasha's face was a little ugly, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, and he couldn't afford to retreat.
Lasha controls the crowbar sail with one hand, and with the other hand he pulls out something resembling a conch and blows a few strange scales towards Saba, who also responds with a conch.
All the sailors received the signal and began to twist the lever under the crow, which moved left and right in order to better take advantage of the wind, and the sand sled group began to accelerate again, and at this time it was very close to the nearest small circle.
"Bang bang..." gunshots rang out!
The nearest escort, under great pressure, finally could not help but shoot, and in a cloud of white smoke, dozens of projectiles hit the sides.
There was a strange scream from the sand pry, and none of them hit.
The snail sounded again, and her team accelerated again, taking advantage of the sparse shooting of the guards.
Saba's team, on the other hand, continued to move forward, circling around the large group of camels, but not very closely, as if to intercept them for rescue.
The guards in the front circle, all with a frightened face, hurriedly changed their bullets and shot, trying to prevent the other party from approaching, only to see dozens of sand skiddles whistling past, and the rolled sand instantly blurred the vision.
Yu Nan was far away from the camel caravan, and at this time, seeing that the caravan was suddenly attacked by the enemy, he hurriedly beckoned his partners to stay further away, so as not to harm the pond fish, and Krabatel was still in the camel caramel, and it was too late to come back now.
"What are they doing?" Jessica saw a large group of sand thieves wandering around the perimeter of the camel caravan and did not attack, and asked Yu Nan strangely.
Hanan sighed a little and replied: "The tactics of this group of sand thieves are a bit similar to light cavalry, probably trying to lure the musket to shoot, and then quickly pounce, the guards have no long-range attack, and then they are attacked back and forth by the enemy with superior speed, and it is a very fast thing to be defeated."
Jessica nodded and shook her head again: "No, even if it is a cavalryman, after piercing the formation, the distance can be opened to carry out the next impact, and the guards have time to shoot again."
Yu Nan pointed to the moving sand skid group and explained: "You see, the sand thieves did not all gather together, but several ships formed a small team, and they also maintained a stable distance from each other, and they must have attacked in batches to form an uninterrupted continuous strike.
Jessica snorted and asked, "Then why don't they attack yet?"
"It should be delaying time, so that the accomplices can knock down a few places that have fallen behind, and if the brigade comes to the rescue, you can also surround the point to help."
Harvey suddenly said: "Look over there, the camels who have fallen behind are besieged!" Hanan
turned his head and saw the sand skids group behind him, divided into several teams, and began to impact the small circle formed by camels.
And those camels, apparently specially trained, faced with the menacing sand skieds, although restless, but under the pull of the guards, they still barely maintained the formation.
In the first places to fire, there were not many people, only a few dozen, and by this time the gunfire had become sparse, and there was no time to change the bullets.
And the sand thief in charge of the attack, at a glance, is experienced, stands firmly on the crowboard, holds the scimitar in his hand flat, and attacks by the speed of the sand sled itself.
"Why don't they take weapons and hack and kill?" Jessica had never seen this kind of duel, and seeing that the sand thief did not exert strength, she asked with some doubt.
Harvey knew the human body very well, and explained in a deep voice: "This is the same as the cavalry charging formation, the speed of the mount itself has reached the extreme, if you swing the knife and slash again, the impact of the arm is multiplied."
Ordinary people do not have a super physique, they will definitely be injured, and if they are serious, their arms will be broken!
"Those guards can't hold on!" Hanan looked at the battle situation and analyzed.
Several people looked over, the few small circles that were besieged had been rushed back and forth by the sand thieves, the formation had long been fragmented, many camels died tragically under the knife, and the neighing was particularly loud in a red color.
