When Xiangzi heard this, his heart moved, and he asked with a snicker, "Can you be sure that the wind is blowing?" ”

Shuzhen looked up at the sky and muttered, "In the past, when I marched and fought in the desert, I felt that as long as I encountered this weather, the wind would not sound at noon. ”

Xiangzi was excited for a while, and even picked up Shuzhen in a gaffe, turned around twice on the ground, and said, "God help me!" ”

Shuzhen glanced at him with disgust, and muttered, "What's the matter, I look at you happy." ”

Shoko still couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, grabbed Shuzhen's arm, and said as she walked: "As long as the wind blows, I have a way to recapture the herd, and we will go and prepare now." ”

Xiangzi summoned all the big and small leaders, and said with confidence: "The wind is going to rise today, and we are just taking advantage of the wind to recapture the herd." Xiao Gucheng picked ten good marksmanship and followed me. The rest of the men, commanded by Brother Zhao, followed us. As long as the wind rose, Brother Zhao took his brothers to run across the wind while releasing guns indiscriminately, raising the sand as thick as possible. When our gunfire stopped, we rushed over and surrounded the herd. ”

As he spoke, he said to the small ancient city: "Let the brothers of the front team wear goggles." ”

At noon, the western horizon gradually turned gray.

At this time, the sun has broken free from the entanglement of the clouds, and it seems to be hanging listlessly above his head, completely lacking the enthusiasm of the past.

An eagle that greeted the sun from the sky circled gracefully, gliding obliquely and falling into the sky.

It doesn't look like it's discovering the food on the ground, but it's deliberately hiding from something.

Before I knew it, the gray line in the west had already turned into a dusk of rolling smoke.

Looking quietly, the surging black shadows, like a kind of magical power, erected the entire Yellow River. Let the muddy yellow river water, together with the gray and black river mud, pour overwhelmingly.

That kind of momentum that devours everything really makes people feel a little palpitating. Even the horses, which had experienced the baptism of bullets, snorted a little uneasily.

A cool breeze began to sneak past him, stirring up the sand under his feet and raising a semi-circular whirlpool.

Xiangzi subconsciously glanced down at the direction of the wind, which was his goal.

So, the spirits lifted and the deployment began. He said with some excitement: "When the limelight comes, everyone will be in the limelight and rush to the sand beam in front." Then, Brother Zhao led people to run horses in Shaliangzi, and all the front team got off the horse and touched me forward. ”

As he spoke, the limelight of the yellow sand swept over with his head and face.

The two teams of men and horses, running in the wind, added a lot of momentum to the limelight, and they faced each other, and they couldn't see the existence of soldiers and horses at all.

Running up to the sand beam, Shoko took advantage of the gap in the wind and looked at the binoculars.

Seeing that the herd was lying on the ground, the bandits were holding horses in their hands and anxiously circling around the herd.

Shoko waved his hand backwards, carrying his spear, and rushed forward.

As the gunfire broke out on the sand beam, the busy bandits hurriedly got on their horses.

I wanted to fight back against the wind, but I barely twisted my body, and even the people and horses were swept back by the wind and sand.

Xiangzi and the others touched a place less than 100 meters away from the bandits, climbed down and opened fire.

After a burst of gunfire, the bandits, who were so frightened that they looked like ants on a hot pot, had already fallen a few of them.

The bandits shouted and fired a few shots indiscriminately, and the panicked figure was quickly drowned in the dusky sea of sand.

In addition to all the livestock, the bandits left behind three corpses and two wounded horses.

Xiangzi arranged a secret whistle in the east, west, north and south, and asked everyone to surround the herd of livestock and curl up behind the horse to avoid the wind.

After the turbid limelight passed, although the strength did not weaken significantly, the world in front of him became clear.

The limelight swept away the fine dust, but left the polished grains of sand behind.

The strong wind swept with pinnose-sized grains of sand, scrambling to splash over, and the pain on his face was like a pinprick.

After Xiangzi covered up Shuzhen, she came to a sandbag full of red willows, and took advantage of the goggles to take a closer look around.

Only then did he easily and tiredly sit under the red willow roots, listening comfortably to the sound of the wind that gradually weakened.

As the saying goes, the wind is afraid of the sunset. As the light dimmed, the arrogant wind quietly softened.

The setting sun finally tore open the dim yellow curtain and splashed a bunch of brilliant colors enthusiastically.

Recapturing the herd is equivalent to holding the bandits by the nose. Early the next morning, under the guidance of the guide, Xiangzi drove the herd straight to the mouth of the ditch.

After less than half a day's work, in the distance ahead, there was a faint figure shaking.

Xiangzi carefully observed for a while, and said to Xiao Gucheng: "You bring a few brothers with good marksmanship, shoot accurately according to the figure, and you must overwhelm the bandits two miles away." ”

After a few gunshots, the shadow of the bandit immediately became even more blurred.

In this way, the stalemate went forward for a day, and early the next morning, the guide ran to Xiangzi's tent and said, "Hurry up to the mouth of the ditch!" ”

Shoko suddenly felt happy in her heart, grabbed the binoculars, and rushed to a sandbag with the guide.

The guide pointed to a pile of hazy gray shadows in the distance and said, "That nest is black, it is a sycamore forest." A few hundred steps through the forest is the mouth of the ditch. ”

Shoko took his glasses and looked closely, and there were still 1,600 meters from the woods. And the bandits, the shadows are piled up there.

Shoko was overjoyed, so he ran back to the tent in a hurry, shouting for the iron eggs, let the brothers have a bite, and the team left half an hour later.

The iron egg rolled over and jumped up, and got out of the tent with a puff of smoke. Shuzhen took out the beef jerky and naan she had brought with her and put them in front of Shoko.

Bian muttered casually: "What's the movement, it's so urgent." ”

Xiangzi took a sip of water, choked on the dry naan in his mouth, and said excitedly: "After a few days of busy work, I finally saw Pantou, not far ahead, which is the mouth of the broken ditch." If it goes well, the battle will be over this afternoon. ”

Shoko walked out of the tent, and several leaders had already come over one after another.

Xiangzi's eyes swept a few times like lightning, and said in a calm and powerful tone: "I have been looking forward to the ambush battle at the mouth of the ditch for a few days, and it will start this afternoon." The big man, with machine guns and a few gunners from the small ancient city, followed me to block the front. Brother Zhao, lead the team to walk two miles north from here, then turn east, and hide next to the broken ditch. Zhao Youtian led the team to walk two miles south from here, and also turned to the east to hide in the broken ditch. The two of you, after seeing the flock, walked down the ditch towards the mouth of the ditch and quickly touched it for a mile and a half, and chose an ambush point. As soon as the gunfire goes off on my side, you will immediately open fire, and you must not let go of a bandit. ”

After the two teams had left one after another, Xiangzi led a few capable team members, under the cover of the herd of cattle and Suosuo, all the way to the back of a sand beam not far from the woods.
