Fan Jui suddenly opened his eyes, and he seemed to hear a rustling sound.
The voice was very soft and vague. It seemed as if I had heard it wrong.
After all, there are many animals in this desert, such as lizards and snakes, but now it is winter, shouldn't these animals hibernate?
Fan Zhui closed his eyes again, but luck began slowly. A pair of white and tender palms gradually began to heat up.
He opened his eyes again. He suddenly smiled. A dry splendens bush in front of him moved forward.
Just when he was about to take out his whistle and blow it, suddenly there was a buzzing sound. In the silent night, this shaking sound instantly woke up many alert people.
They were all too familiar with this sound. It was the sound of a powerful crossbow.
The boss of Black Tiger Mountain, Man Tianyun, led five hundred people from their horses in the middle of the night. They crawled over little by little under the camouflaged bushes.
The purpose is to hide from the enemy, and when they get close, they will immediately attack.
Unexpectedly, there was actually a tough guy among these people. When Fan Zui opened his eyes for the first time, the clouds in the sky knew that he had been discovered.
He immediately made a decisive decision and sent someone to send a message and gave the order to shoot.
Just when Fan Zhui opened his eyes for the second time, arrows came whistling like locusts.
This time the attack was on the fan family's headquarters camp. There were about a thousand people behind the elongated camel bunker. The target was very clear.
Different teams attack in different directions. In fact, they mobilize people from all over the place and disperse them to various places. Then they focus on killing these seven people.
Fan Zhui didn't expect that the person opposite him was also a tough guy who was used to rolling on the blade. He just opened his eyes and immediately launched an attack.
At this time, a short steel arrow without a tail fin had already arrived in front of the front door.
If the arrow does not have wings, the resistance will be very small, the speed will be faster, the force will be stronger, and the sound will be much quieter.
The outline is also small and difficult to spot. By the time you see it clearly, you are already very close. However, you will lose your accuracy at a long distance. After all, the stability is not good.
The current distance is very close, less than thirty meters, so the flight is still very accurate.
When an arrow is shot towards the face, Fan Zui will use the whip wrapped around his waist to knock down the arrow according to his habit.
However, just by hearing the roar of the wind, he knew that it could not be intercepted.
In the flash of calcium carbide fire, he twisted his waist suddenly and fell backwards.
The wingless steel arrow flew past with a whoosh, grazing his cheek. A strong wind blew past him.
The people around him did not have such good luck. Many people were shot by steel crossbows while they were sleeping. The huge kinetic energy caused them to fly directly behind them.
After these horse thieves were recruited, Duolun City sent a team of supervisors to supervise discipline. At the same time, they also updated their equipment. After all, these horse thieves will work for Master Yang in the future. Nothing can be done without someone who can take advantage of them.
Firearms cannot be given, but cold weapons can still be given.
These bandits were given various armors captured in previous wars, relatively good quality weapons, and some strong bows and crossbows. However, many of these bandits had poor shooting skills. After all, archers need long-term practice and talent.
.
In order to speed up the process and reduce the difficulty, they were directly equipped with ratchet-loaded steel crossbows.
As long as the crossbow can be wound, an eight-year-old naughty boy can kill a ten-year-old swordsman. The steel crossbow is very powerful.
These steel crossbows are produced by the Xincheng Arsenal, and the spring steel used is made from scraps transferred over. The performance is very good.
Because the force is too great, it can no longer be wound by relying on the foot pedal and waist strength. It can only be wound with a ratchet.
This kind of steel crossbow is also a threat to Jiannu's triple armor. From a distance of fifty meters or even seventy meters, there is a very high chance of shooting through it.
Now that they have taken action, the horse thieves no longer hide. They just throw away the withered grass and pretend to get up from the ground. The first row is kneeling, the second row is standing, and the third row is in reserve. Three consecutive shots are fired, and the crossbow arrows are fired intensively.
go out.
At this time, the sudden attack caused many people to panic and run around. Some people stood up sleepily, some were looking for weapons, and some were observing where the enemy was. It was a chaotic scene.
This is the middle area of the camel caravan, and the sound of crossbows is not too loud. There are still many people who are not awake. If it is muskets and huge gunfire, everyone must be awake.
As a result, many people heard the sound of crossbow strings in a daze, and as soon as they stood up, they were shocked to the core.
In the blink of an eye, countless people were shot down, and the rest finally woke up completely.
The camp was being attacked. Like headless flies, they hurriedly hid behind the lying camel. They used the camel's body to resist the crossbow arrows. At the same time, they hurriedly looked for weapons.
They knew that these people would rush over after the crossbow bolts were fired.
At this time, Fan Zhui had already rolled a few times and hid behind the innermost circle of camels. He looked around and saw that there were still two people he had brought with him. Four people had been shot to death just now.
He was too confident in himself and too trusting. He slept outside the camp to provide timely warning. As a result, when the enemy really came, he suffered heavy losses.
Fan Zhui felt agitated. He went to Shenyang this time with a mission. He carefully selected these people. Now, he lost four in a morning raid.
And in the past two days, he also vaguely felt that something was wrong in the camel team. Although it was just an intuition, his intuition was very accurate due to years of fighting experience.
He was a little suspicious of the three small camel teams recruited this time. He didn't know if there were horse thieves' insiders among them.
These attacks were all too coincidental. He even suspected that someone was secretly watching him and that he had been exposed.
At this time, the big shopkeeper also reacted and was directing the fight against these horse thieves.
"You guys, hurry up and bring the blunderbuss, and bring the archers over."
The boss is the apparent leader of the camel team, and he is also a veteran of the camel trail. He knows that when encountering horse thieves, don’t panic. As long as the team is not disrupted, the horse thieves will be defeated. After all, this camel team
There are two thousand people.
But at this time, all four parts of the camel team were attacked, especially the Fan family's headquarters. Because they were camping in the leeward place behind the sand dunes, they were all arranged in a long strip. At this time, they were cut into several sections.
.
Soon the servants and guards who partially restored their organization took out the muskets mounted on the camels and began to shoot at the horse thieves. Their conditions were better than those of the horse thieves. After all, they had camels as cover.
At this time, Zhuzhu was running wildly with his manpower. The horse thieves were chasing behind him.
"Captain, don't shoot. I'm one of my own. It's me."
