Xiangzi motioned for everyone to hide, and slowly climbed up the sand beam.

I saw a few piles of bandits, restless around the forest, looking at the approaching herd.

And behind the herd, there were no longer many people on horseback and carrying guns, as in the past, but only three men leading horses and walking could be seen, driving the herd slowly forward.

The bandits were on their horses and were ready to move, but they did not dare to rush over.

Shoko slowly retracted and whispered, "I'll count to three, rush up to the beam together, and shoot at the bandits." When the bandits turned around and ran towards the ditch, everyone quickly rushed to the beam in front of them and chose a shooting point. When the bandit turned around again, he greeted him fiercely. We must not let them run away from under our noses. ”

As he spoke, he counted three. Several gunners, plus machine guns, fired at the same time.

The panicked bandits, after planting a few like dumplings, they panicked like a swarm.

Just as the bandits were about to scatter and flee, gunshots rang out in the north and south directions. The bandits had no choice, so they swarmed towards the mouth of the ditch.

With a wave of his hand, Xiangzi was the first to rush down the sand beam and quickly ran towards the beam in front.

As soon as the bandits rushed up to the mouth of the ditch, they were suddenly faced with a fierce and dense burst of bullets, which rained down, and the men and horses immediately fell.

The bandits in the back, nesting at the bottom of the ditch, you squeezed me and hit me in a panic for a while, except for two who fled along the bottom of the ditch despite the depth and steepness of the pit, the rest rushed back to the west slope with a roar.

At this time, Xiangzi and the others had already rushed to the sand beam less than one hundred and fifty meters away from the broken ditch.

Seeing that the bandits turned their heads and rushed back, several shots were fired in unison, and the machine guns spat tongues of fire, which instantly hit the bandits on their backs.

Knowing that they had been surrounded, the bandits rushed forward one after another.

The big man got up, stood up, and swept with a machine gun. simply pressed the extremely vicious bandits back to the bottom of the ditch. Just when the gunshots gradually fell away, a single shot rang out on the other side.

The big man's broad body shook and rolled off the beam like a sack full of grain.

Xiangzi was slightly stunned for a moment, and saw a figure pulling the bolt in the red willow bush by the ditch.

He didn't hesitate to raise his hand and shoot, and the figure went limp like a deflated ball.

Xiangzi glanced at the big man who was motionless under the slope, and his heart was like a knife. Seeing that the small ancient city was anxiously trying to rush down the slope, Xiangzi immediately shouted loudly: "Don't move!" Shout to the bandits, drop the gun and don't kill you! ”

So, the two conversation team members shouted in Kazakh.

The bandits crowded at the bottom of the ditch, panicked and rioted like ants on a hot pot for a while. As he shouted, he gradually calmed down. But there is still no sign of laying down the arms.

Xiangzi shouted at Xiao Gucheng with an angry face: "Kill him two!" ”

As soon as the words fell, with the sound of gunfire, the two bandits planted their horses in response.

After another commotion, someone began to throw their guns on the ground.

Just as the bandits threw away the guys in their hands, one of the bandits, shouting strangely, whipped the bandits who had laid down their weapons with a horsewhip.

Xiangzi cursed a swear word that others couldn't hear clearly, and with a shot in his hand, the crazy guy planted the horse in response. The bandit suddenly threw away his weapon as if he had thrown away the poisonous snake in his hand.

At this time, Xiangzi shouted loudly: "The little ancient city goes to see the big man, and the rest of the people, rush over with me!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the shell gun on his waist and was the first to rush down the beam.

The men and horses on the north and south sides rushed over when they saw Xiangzi, and they also rushed over together.

After collecting the guns on the ground, they didn't talk nonsense, untied the belly belt of the bandits, and overturned the haystacks, and in the blink of an eye, they got more than 20 bandits under the horse.

At this time, Captain Zhang also brought people over. After a count, 11 people were killed, 5 were slightly injured, 4 were seriously injured, and 26 were captured alive.

Forty-one spears, 37 uninjured horses, more than 300 sheep, and 53 cattle were captured.

Captain Zhang came over excitedly, and grinned at Xiangzi: "Good girl, you can get a lot of miles from this net." ”

Shoko smiled sadly at him and didn't make a sound. Follow Shuzhen hurriedly towards the big man.

The big man was shot in the chest, pierced the lung, and there was no chance of survival.

Because the bandits use explosives, that is, before the bullet is used, it rubs on the person's head to let the bullet stain the human brain oil. In this way, the bullet will explode the moment it hits the human body. Therefore, the lethality is great. The big man was shot in the front chest and exited in the back, but was taken away from a bowl of meat.

The little ancient city cried out anxiously and timidly, and the big man's eyes were closed tightly, showing a painful look.

The bloodied lips squirmed slightly, as if they had something to say. Shoko leaned down and whispered.

The big man seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, and glanced at everyone in a daze and blankly.

In the end, his gaze flickered on the face of the little ancient city.

A faint voice said, "Grandma...... Girl ......"

Xiao Gucheng seemed to understand the meaning of the big man, put his arm around his shoulders, sobbed and said, "Don't worry, big brother, your aunt is my aunt, and your sister is my sister." ”

The big man nodded weakly, a bleak smile oozing from his face.

Xiangzi dragged Shuzhen and whispered eagerly, "People are not fast, can you recite the dying prayer?" ”

Shuzhen hesitated slightly, and muttered, "Yes, yes, but am I a woman?" ”

Shoko, with a frozen expression, said in a low voice, "There are only brothers here, no men and women. ”

As he spoke, he shouted at Captain Zhang, "Is there a return in your team?" ”

Captain Zhang looked stunned and said, "There are two miles." ”

Xiangzi waved his hand impatiently and said, "Come and call over!" ”

Including the small ancient city, there are three men who have returned.

Xiangzi said eagerly and as calmly as possible: "You start now, read a prayer to the big man, Jiugu will read a sentence, and you will follow along." Remember! The key is to think with sincerity. ”

Saying that, Chong Shuzhen nodded and said, "Read it a few more times." ”

So, Sook-jin asked the three of them to stand in front of the big man and herself behind them.

Word by word, he said, "Lord! You forgive me, you have mercy on me, you let me be with my honest companions—and after I have been restored, I will live in heaven with the honest companions of the immortals! Help me to overcome the pain and hardship of death. There is no Lord but Allah. Muhammad was the messenger of Allah....."

Xiangzi saw that they read smoothly, so he silently beckoned the brothers to go under the plane tree to talk about things.

Xiangzi called Captain Zhang aside, and said with a somewhat heavy expression: "While it's still early, you send twenty brothers and divide them into two teams." A team of bandits and big men were escorted. A group drove the cattle back the way they came. To-morrow you and I will go back to the north, and we will go back to the counties. The bandits in this area are estimated to be almost cleaned up, and there will be no more large bandits. ”

Captain Zhang was just about to turn around, but Xiangzi caught up with him as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Let them take the captured guns and horses by the way." Tomorrow, we will travel lightly, leaving only the camels. ”

Captain Zhang hesitated for a moment, and muttered, "Don't you leave something here?" ”

Xiangzi smiled sadly and said, "Divide the spoils? ”

Then he pondered for a moment, and said cheerfully: "Okay! Then leave five guns and five horses. ”

Captain Zhang smiled slyly at him and said, "I'll give you two more boxes of bullets." ”

Xiangzi smiled at him with satisfaction, and said playfully: "The overnight prison cell, it's really not in vain." ”

With that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and left separately.
