The way was suddenly blocked by someone in front. Half of the cloud turned his head and looked behind him subconsciously. Behind him. Follow closely with more than a thousand gangsters. In the future, many horse bandits scorched by the fire were rushing here in embarrassment. Half of the cloud looked at the sand dunes ahead. Although the Han people on the sand dunes are in the dark. Can't see clearly. But it can be roughly judged that he still has some advantages in terms of numbers.
Half of the cloud's heart turned like flying. Suddenly shouted: "Little ones. Charge forward. As long as you catch the leader. Everyone can still have a way to survive."
Those gangsters who fled in panic heard the shouts of Half Cloud. Actually, he really moved closer to this side. It seems that the truth of catching the thieves and the king is not only understood by the Han. This horse bandit is also very clear.
The horse bandits have superb riding skills. Not inferior to those Huns on the grassland. Soon he screamed and approached the sand dunes. When attacking the Han camp just now. Half of the cloud fell behind. Now his situation has changed. He has already taken the lead.
I saw the man in white on the top of the sand dune waved his hand. Countless cold lights flashed on the sand dunes. The sound of breaking through the sky is endless. The horse bandits fell in the yellow sand one after another. Although the number of Han troops on the sand dunes is small. But the three-stage shooting method can ensure that they keep shooting arrows. Just this way. Arrow rain cannot be too dense.
The less intensive rain of arrows still gave the horse bandits who were good at riding and shooting some opportunities. Half of the cloud can be the leader of such a big gang. Naturally, there are also his outstanding points. He seized this opportunity without hesitation. The scimitar in his hand danced like a wheel. Throw away the arrows that hit the front one by one. Soon they rushed to the front of the sand dunes. The face of the Han leader not far away was clearly visible.
Half of the cloud's heart burst into ecstasy. Just take a few steps forward. You can catch that Han man. suddenly. A feather arrow came. The neck of the horse under the cloud seat in the middle half. The horse "tweeted" with a mournful cry. People stand up. They don't have stirrups. Relying on his own riding skills to control the horses. Now the horse suddenly "stands up". And half of the cloud is calling the arrow with undivided attention. Caught off guard. Suddenly he was thrown out.
What a half-cloud. The action is very flexible. Roll gently on the sand. He rushed forward a few steps. It's closer to the Han Chinese leader. suddenly. A burst of external pain came. Half of Yun's right leg softened and fell to his knees in the dust. A feather arrow has been inserted into his right knee. "Swish swish". Dozens of feather arrows went straight to half the cloud and shot over. Half the cloud brandished the scimitar desperately. There was another hemp on his left arm.
More than a dozen gangsters rushed over. They are all close confidants around Banbian Yun. Seeing half of the cloud fell to the ground. One after another came around. At this time. The arrow rain on the sand dunes suddenly stopped. Hundreds of knights rushed down brandishing sabers. Several culprits came forward. In a blink of an eye, he was in a different place. An elite Chinese cavalry equipped with stirrups, horseshoes, and sabers. How can these little gangsters stop it
Half of the cloud was refreshed when he saw this scene. He believes he still has some martial arts. If you fight face to face with these Han people. It will definitely not be inferior to them. Just when half of the cloud was struggling to get up half of his body. A horse quickly ran past him. Half of the cloud only saw a long knife with a red light flashing past him in a hurry. Then a headless corpse slowly fell to the ground.
The other side of the camp. Dozens of gangsters fled into the darkness under the leadership of the bandit leader who was called "the second" by half of the cloud. A man and horse in front of them blocked their way. The leader is holding a pair of strange weapons. The second child has been in Xicheng for many days. I clearly remember that the Han leader was following a big man all day. It is these two weapons in his hand. People who can follow Liu Xin's natural martial arts cannot be underestimated. The second child is cunning. Wu Yi is mediocre. Just leave now without even wanting to turn around. There was a burst of laughter behind him. The second child is even more panicked. He didn't know. The big man laughed because he accidentally slammed the two weapons together. The result was broken in four.
Dianwei's big iron halberd is made of fine iron. Naturally, it is impossible to break off with just a touch. It is impossible for the broken one to be a big iron halberd. In fact, that big man is not Dian Wei at all. Instead, a guard of Dian Wei's men pretended to be. What he holds in his hand is not a big iron halberd. It is a pair of "counterfeit and shoddy products" made of wood. The real Dianwei was still in charge of protecting Diao Chan and the others in the Yutian Palace in Xicheng. The guard saw that he was using a pair of fake weapons to scare off the group of gangsters. Naturally I was going to laugh. And the second child whether they continue to rush forward. Still turned around and fled. Can't hide the fate of being eliminated.
All this is basically a game played by Liu Xinbu. He deliberately slowed down the marching speed. And put all the camping sites in the wild. It is to bring out the gang of half of the cloud. Originally, half of the cloud was very patient. But his men couldn't help it long ago. Half the cloud can only act in advance.
Since Liu Xin wanted to draw out half of the cloud. It is impossible not to place many scouts around. When half of the clouds gathered nearly ten thousand horse bandits. When I thought I was hiding in secret around the Han camp. The whereabouts have already fallen into the eyes of a well-trained Dahan detective rider. And half of the cloud cleverly postponed the time of the sneak attack until before dawn. It also gave the Han army time to make arrangements calmly.
In order to set up this game. Liu Xin also took great pains. Come this way. Many people already know that he is carrying a female family. If there is no female family accompanying. It is likely to arouse the suspicion of the horse bandits. But this is after all a bloody fight with a lightsaber. Liu Xin didn't want Diao Chan to follow him to take risks. So Liu Xin did it herself. A carriage was modified. At least from the outside. There is no difference between this carriage and the one Diao Chan rides. of course. There were also a few women in the carriage. These women are all court ladies in the Khotan Palace. Just changed the clothes of the Han. It's just covered with a veil.
Diao Chan stayed in Xicheng. Naturally, we need to be protected by powerful officers. So Dian Wei had to take three hundred guards to stay. But along the way. Dian Wei is always by Liu Xin's side. Especially the pair of big iron halberds he used was too eye-catching. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the horse bandits. Liu Xin had to choose a guard who was similar to Dian Wei to pretend to be him. but. Dian Wei's big iron halberd could not be given to him. I had to make a pair of wood instead.
There is a detailed plan to lure the wolf. You also need to be extremely familiar with the surrounding terrain. At this moment. Saadin, the Pishan King who volunteered, had a place for him. Although Saadin is the king of Pishan. However, the population of Pishan is too small. Although he is king. Some things have to be done by yourself. It's like going to Xicheng to see Liu Xin in person this time. This also has an advantage. He is very familiar with the surrounding environment. then. Saadin has become a more competent guide than Bacouli.
Liu Xin didn't tell Bakulei about this plan. This is not because Xin doesn't trust Pull Coulee. in contrast. On many occasions, Bacouli persuaded Liu Xin to hurry along as quickly as possible. Don't stay overnight in the wild. All are enough to show that he is a qualified and responsible guide. Liu Xin did not tell Bakulei of the plan. It's because there is no need to know about this plan. No need for his cooperation. result. Bancouli could not persuade Liu Xin. I didn't dare to close my eyes for two days. On the third day, I finally got tired. When the Han soldiers quietly withdrew from the camp. It was Liu Xin deliberately arranging for the soldiers to carry Paishili from the camp.
at this time. Bakulei was standing beside Liu Xin. Watching the fierce gangsters fall in rows in a pool of blood. Dyed the sand beneath him into blood red. Watching the raging fire in the camp again. With a long sigh, he said, "It's a pity those camels."
For people living in the desert. Camel is their most loyal partner. It can even save the owner's life at many critical moments. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the horse bandits. There are still many camels and horses left in the barracks. Just now in the raging fire. You can even hear the screams of camel horses. Liu Xin understands Bakulei's mood very well. He patted his shoulder lightly and said, "Only when these horse bandits are eliminated. The camel team can come and go freely. Otherwise. More camels will die."
At this time. Huang Zhong has already rode his horse to Liu Xin. He folded his hands and said: "Enlighten the lord. The horse bandits have all been eliminated."
Because Dian Wei stayed in Xicheng. Wei Yan's martial arts is not as good as Huang Zhong. In order to ensure the success of this booby-trap plan. Liu Xin wanted to use herself as a bait. To attract those bandits who missed the net in an ambush at the camp. Bait is always dangerous. Therefore, Liu Xin deliberately transferred Huang Zhong to his side. The other soldiers who sent Wei Yan to command the Fifth Army followed far behind.
Although the plan was a big success. But Liu Xin was still a little worried. Shen Sheng asked: "There is half of the cloud whereabouts. If you don't catch the half of the cloud. Things can't be done."
Huang Zhong removed a bloody human head hanging from the saddle. Hold high in your hands. Said: "Go back to the lord. According to the captured gangster. This is half the cloud."
Bakulei hurried to the front branch canal. Take a closer look. Turning around and saying to Liu Xin, "Congratulations, my lord. This person is really half the cloud."
Half of the cloud's acting style is completely different from the black whirlwind. He not only solicited gangsters aggressively. And like to be pushy. Whenever the caravan was robbed, it always showed itself in front of those trembling businessmen. So many people know him. Even Bakulei had seen him several times. So I recognized it at a glance.
Liu Xin has also recognized it. This head is the bandit leader who rushed towards him arrogantly. Cannot help but nodded. Said: "Now the two gangs of Black Tornado and Half Cloud have collapsed. Since then, the Western Regions have been smooth."
In the desert. These horse bandits hidden in the dark. The harm is much greater than those of the kings who opposed Liu Xin's reconstruction of the Duhu Mansion. This battle tonight. Several gangs that had run rampant in the Western Regions were almost completely wiped out. The remaining small bandits have limited power. Not even the opponent of some powerful caravans. It's not enough.
Huang Zhong threw the head of half the cloud to the ground. Then he folded his hands and said, "What will happen to those prisoners. Please let me know."
"Let them identify each. Anyone who identifies the bandit leader. A hundred taels of silver." Liu Xin waved his hand. Said. "Waiting for the end of their identification. All the bandit leaders beheaded on the spot. The rest of the ordinary bandits are released on the spot. Let them take care of themselves in the future. I will order again. The whole army gathers. Set off immediately. Be sure to rush to Pishan before sunset today."
