Chapter 418
The rest of the camels could no longer bear it, and finally broke free from the reins and ran wildly in all directions, although the speed was not fast, but they no longer obeyed the command and could not control it.
The guards also wounded a few, and under the strong oppression of the sand thieves, most of them did not care about shooting, except for the fiercest few, who scattered screaming.
The sand thieves did not chase, only killed a few people who were still resisting, leaving a few sand skid boats to carry things, and the rest regrouped, and then, led by Rasha, rushed to Hicks.
When Saba saw that his companion had succeeded, he was overjoyed and blew the conch, and the sand thieves of his team responded excitedly, and the circle around was a little closer.
Drawing the group gradually converged, and seeing that the other party was still standing still, he couldn't help but be suspicious of this group of caravans.
In the small-scale battle just now, although there were almost no losses on his side, the other party was so patient that not only did not come to the rescue, but also held the position and did not fire a shot, and the elite army of the Kingdom of Alabastan was just that.
Hicks saw that the encirclement of the sand thief had reached within fifty meters, still shrinking, and finally gave an order, "Fire!" Several
camel pens resounded at the same time, hundreds of muskets fired together, and thick white smoke filled the entire area in an instant.
The sand pirates had anticipated this situation, and the speed of the sand skid increased again, and countless bullets whistled by.
Several sand skiddles were hit, making a dull noise, but it did not affect the movement, apparently the quality of the protective layer was good.
However, with such intensive shooting, the sand thief was also hit by several people.
At this distance, lead bullets can easily break through the armor, not to mention that these sand pirates are at most wearing leather armor, and some are even just cloth, coupled with their own impact speed, the sand sages who were shot were fiercely taken away, and people in mid-air, blood shot out along the hole, turning into blood arrows.
Jessica saw this cavalry-like impact for the first time, and saw several sand thieves screaming and being thrown into the air, blood pillars kept shooting, and subconsciously muttered: "Well, it hurts!"
Harvey, as a doctor, did not forget to say to several people: "Those guards should shoot special lead bullets, which will quickly deform and disintegrate in the body after hitting the human body, instantly forming a cavity effect, so it has this effect..." The
battle continued, there were only a few injured sand thieves, and the others relied on the speed advantage to quickly chisel through several small camel circles, and then around an arc not far away, rushing back in turn.
After several rounds of impact, the caravan has broken several camel circles, and the rest are also in danger, especially the many camels, which are already restless, and they can't bear it at this time, if it were not for special training, I am afraid it would have collapsed long ago.
Although Hicks' side is superior in numbers, it is also helpless in the face of this repeated back and forth attack, and has been passively beaten, and there are many casualties, and it is obvious that it will collapse in a few times.
Hanan focused all his attention on Hicks, seeing that he had been hiding in the formation, only in charge of commanding, and did not see himself doing it. Krabatel observed beside him, glancing at Yu Nan from time to time, and did not seem to find anything unusual.
Han Nan's brows furrowed, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that he is just an ordinary businessman?"
Seeing that the situation of the caravan was not good, Charlie was worried that he would not be able to go to Katrea without his guide, and hurriedly asked Yunan: "Captain, don't we go and help them?"
"Let's take a look first, that old fox Hicks is definitely not simple, and besides, with Krabatel by his side, his life should be worry-free." Hanan did not believe in evil and planned to observe it for a while.
In fact, the sand thief's side is not good, controlling the sand sled is very laborious, under several impacts, most people have signs of physical exhaustion, fortunately, the casualties are not large, only three people died and six people were seriously injured, and the other injured were also brought back in time, although they lost their combat capability, but their lives should be worry-free.
The sound of the conch sounded again, and the sand thieves immediately opened the distance and regrouped about five hundred meters away, and all the sand sled gathered and no longer divided into two teams.
The caravan side was relieved to see that the enemy had temporarily stopped attacking, and Hicks ordered one after another, and several nearby guards quickly approached to form a larger defensive position, and the small camel caravan a little further away was also integrated nearby.
Hicks learned the lesson and ordered the people to unload all the sacks on the hunchback, and piled them up outside the crowd to form a simple fortification, and under the impact of the sand thief just now, the camels were frightened, some jumped around, exposing many gaps, and some were directly killed.
After some busyness, the caravan side formed several formations that were horns of each other, and they also kept a certain distance from each other.
At the same time, after the sand sand skids stopped, they jumped down to rest and seize the time to recover their strength.
This group of them is worthy of being the most famous sand pirate gang in Alabastan, all of them are strong, full of fierce aura, although they have lost a few companions, but they all look like life and death.
Some people are busy replenishing water, some people are taking care of the wounded, saying that they are taking care, but in fact, they are bandaging the wound indiscriminately, and the wounded are also very tough, enduring the pain and talking to the people next to them.
They have the same decoration, and everyone wears a small umbrella on top of their heads, like a sun hat, and when the umbrella cap is opened, it just covers the top of the head and blocks the sun on their faces, which is very suitable for their unique logo.
Saba walked to Rasha's side with a gloomy look and said, "It's not okay to go on like this, this group of caravans is very fierce in firepower, and the will to fight is not weak, there are already three brothers gone, and the few who are seriously injured are probably also fierce." Lasha
was also very sad in her heart, but her face did not show the slightest sadness, strictly speaking, she was the young leader of this gang of sand thieves, and her father's name was Baru Balu? Sa, as can be seen from the name, Sa is the leader of the 'Baru Balu' sand pirate group and the founder of the sand thief.
Baru Baru? Sa, a well-known sea thief in his early years, was seriously injured when chased by the navy, fled to an oasis in the desert of the kingdom of Alabastan, and was saved by a woman in a local village, which saved his life.
Because of the high bounty amount, there are still bounty hunters looking around for his whereabouts, and when his injuries improve, but he leaves hidden diseases, as long as he is a sea boat, his legs and feet are painful, and he has no choice but to give up his career as a pirate, incognito in the village, and then fall in love with the woman who rescued him, that is, Rasha's mother, marry and have children.
After a few years of peaceful life, the oasis where the village is located was eroded by the desert, there was no water source, everyone could only move, and on the way was attacked by sand bandits, Sa stood up, repelled the sand bandits, saved the lives of the villagers, and since then everyone has been more loved and respected.
After many hardships, they finally moved to a new oasis, but the aborigines refused to accept it, and the king's decree was not used, and there were clashes for this, many villagers were killed and injured, and unfortunately, Rasha's mother was killed by a stray bullet.
