The opening kaleidoscope writing wheel eye: the war on the top

Chapter 417
The first two boats were the fastest, almost neck and neck. On the left was a dark-skinned young man, and on the right was a beautiful young woman.

The dark man had good eyesight, and saw that the camel team in front of them was panicking, but amidst the shouts, they had quickly shrunk their formation.

The first few dozen camels rushed back as hard as they could, while the rest tried their best to gather into small circles, not far apart from each other. The camels knelt outside and the guards set up musketeers inside.

The dark man said to the woman: "Lasha, there are a lot of people on the other side, and the formation speed is very fast, it seems that they are tough!"

The beautiful woman named Lasha sneered, "Whether they are stubborn or not, in front of our 'Balu Balu' sand thief group, they are all chickens and dogs."

The man frowned: "Lasha, don't underestimate the enemy. You see, those guards seem to know how to fight, and their weapons and equipment are not bad. If they insist on it, they are afraid of casualties."

Lasha also saw dozens of small circles that were heavily guarded ahead, hesitated for a moment, and said to the man: "Saba, our family is almost out of food, and we can't find food anymore, what should we do?"

Saba didn't speak, just stared ahead. At this time, about 500 meters away from the caravan, a few stragglers gave up and returned to the main force, defending in place nearby, while the main group behind them had already formed a formation.

In the small circle closest to them, a dozen or so guards were scrambling to reload bullets, and Saba could even see the panic on their faces.

The voice of pulling yarn sounded again, "It's too late to retreat now! Why don't you give it a try!"

Saba became ruthless, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's fight!" He shouted to the prying group behind him, "Brothers, everyone, pay attention to safety and use prying tactics!"

"Roger that!"

"no problem!"

This group of sand thieves was obviously well-trained. After responding loudly, they immediately divided into two teams and surrounded them in columns from the left and right directions. It seemed that they planned to surround the camel team.

Seeing the sand thieves gradually approaching, Hicks stayed in the largest circle in the middle, feeling the sand trembling slightly under his feet, and the scarred leader beside him said anxiously: "Boss, these thieves are about [-] meters away. Order to shoot?"

Hicks' palms were a little sweaty. He had already determined the identity of the enemy. There was a striking pattern printed on the opposite pry sail. A bearded skull, which should have been crossed bones, was replaced with two strange umbrellas.

This is the unique banner of the 'Balubaru' sand bandits.

Hicks knows the sand thieves very well, especially the 'Baru Baru', the most powerful sand thieves gang in Alabasta, although the number is not very large.

But all of them are gangsters. The key point is that they have excellent skills in manipulating sand sleds. It is difficult to escape if they are targeted, and they are too fast to aim at all. Now shooting is purely luck.

"Wait, they are trying to lure us to shoot, wait a little closer, let everyone stabilize..." Hicks guessed the intention of the other party.

On the sand thief's side, Lasha and Saba led a team each, and quickly approached the camel team from both sides. At this time, they were within a hundred meters, but the other party still did not respond.

Lasha's face was a bit ugly, but she had to fire the arrow on the string and could not tolerate retreating.

Lasha manipulated the prying sail with one hand, took out a conch-like thing with the other hand, and blew a few weird scales towards Saba, and Saba also responded with a conch.

All sailors received the signal and began to twist the control lever under the sail. The sail moved left and right to better take advantage of the wind. The sled group began to accelerate again. At this time, it was very close to the nearest small circle.

"Bang bang..." The gunshot rang out!
Under tremendous pressure, the nearest guard finally couldn't help but fire. In a cloud of white smoke, dozens of projectiles hit both sides.

There was a strange scream from the sand pry, but none of them hit.

Lasha blew the conch shell again, and her team accelerated again, and when the guards fired less, they had already arrived.

However, Sabana's team continued to move forward, circling the brigade caravan, but the distance was not very close, as if they were trying to intercept them for rescue.

The guards in the front circle all showed panic, reloading and firing in a hurry, trying to prevent the opponent from approaching, only to see dozens of sand sleds roaring past, and the rolled up sand instantly blurred the vision.

Hanan was far away from the camel caravan. Seeing that the caravan was suddenly attacked by the enemy, he hurriedly told his friends to stay away to avoid harming Chi Yu. However, Krabatelle was still in the caravan, and it was too late to come back now.

"What are they doing?" Jessica asked Yu Nan strangely when she saw a large group of sand thieves wandering around the periphery of the camel caravan without attacking.

Hanan pondered for a while, and replied: "The tactics of this group of sand thieves are a bit similar to light cavalry. They probably want to lure the muskets to shoot, and then they rush forward quickly. , being defeated is a quick thing.”

Jessica nodded, then shook her head and said, "No, even if it's cavalry, after piercing through the formation, the next attack can only be made by keeping a distance, and the guards have time to shoot again."

Yu Nan pointed to the group of moving sand skids and explained: "Look, the sand thieves did not all gather together, but several ships formed a small team, and kept a stable distance from each other. Hitting intermittently."

Jessica snorted and asked, "Then why don't they attack?"

"It should be delaying time so that the accomplices can attack the laggard areas first. If the brigade goes to rescue them, they can also surround the points and provide reinforcements."

Harvey suddenly said: "Look over there, the stragglers are under siege!"

Hanan turned his head and saw the group of sand skids behind, divided into several teams, and began to attack the small circle formed by the camels.

And those camels were obviously specially trained. Although they were restless in the face of the menacing sand pry, they still barely maintained their formation under the pull of the guards.

There were not many people in the places where the first shots were fired, only a few dozen people. At this time, the gunfire had become sparse, and there was no time to reload.

The sand thief responsible for the attack looked very experienced at first glance. He stood firmly on the crowbar and held the scimitar in his hand flat, relying entirely on the speed of the sand pry itself to attack.

"Why don't they use weapons to kill?" Jessica had never seen this kind of confrontation, and seeing that the sand thief was not exerting any strength, she asked with some doubts.

Harvey knew a lot about human body physiology and explained in a deep voice: "This is the same as cavalry charging into battle. The speed of the mount itself has reached the extreme. If you slash with a knife, the impact force on your arm will be doubled.

Ordinary people don't have a super-strong physique, so they will definitely suffer back injuries. If it is serious, their arms will be broken! "

"Those guards can't hold on anymore!" Yu Nan analyzed the situation while looking at the battle.

Several people looked over and saw that the small circles under siege had been rushed back and forth by sand thieves, the formation had already been torn apart, many camels were killed by the knife, and the neighing sound was particularly loud amidst the red.
