Chapter 498: Defeat

Black Wind led nearly two hundred men and horses under his command over a sand dune, and another sand dune in front of him passed the camp of the Mission, and the screams on the other side of the Mission could be heard more clearly.

Many sand bandits were anxious, listening to the sound from there, the battle situation seemed to be one-sided, and they could hear the sound of many ghosts crying wolves, if they waited any longer, the white wolf sand bandits were afraid that they would have robbed everything long ago.

The five big and three rough people born in the black wind are the famous villains of the desert, looting, extremely vicious, never putting other people's lives in his eyes, he looks like a powerful bandit, but his mind is not as simple and vulgar as his appearance, he is still very cautious in doing things, and did not immediately order his sand bandits to cross the sand dunes to attack, but he took a dozen horsemen to the sand dunes to see the situation on the battlefield first.

When he went up to the dunes and looked at the mission camp, his eyes almost jumped out.

In his imagination, at this moment, the mission camp should be a river of blood and a mess, and the white wolf's sand bandits should ride horses through the camp wantonly, ruthlessly torture and kill.

But everything in front of him was completely different from what he imagined.

It was indeed a mess of blood, but it was not the Great Qin's mission, but the white wolf's sand bandits.

The White Wolf's sand bandits didn't even get close to the Mission's camp at the moment.

Of the more than 100 white wolf sand bandits, half of them had fallen in a pool of blood at this moment, some of them were lying on the ground struggling and howling, while the remaining fifty or sixty sand bandits were in a mess on the sand, without any formation, completely a rabble, messy.

On the periphery of the mission camp, more than 100 Guards soldiers lined up in two columns, arrows rained down, and were shooting mercilessly at the white wolf bandits, these Guards soldiers who were already asleep, but at this moment they were actually responding to the enemy in an orderly manner, Xuanyuan Sheng was shirtless, but he was holding a saber in his hand, commanding on the side, the two columns of Guards soldiers were all holding longbows, after the first column of arrows, quickly retreated, the second column was ready to bend the bow and set up arrows, and they did not hesitate to shoot and kill, when they shot the arrows, they immediately retreated, and the other row continued to move forward.

The arrows did not stop, and they were like locusts that were overwhelming the sky and shot mercilessly at the charging white wolf and sand bandits.

The Guards are the most elite army of the Great Qin Empire, and every soldier among them is a warrior who is one in a thousand.

The so-called elite is not only because they are well-equipped, but also because they have extremely strong fighting qualities, and the most important thing is that they have an iron will to fight and strict combat discipline.

Hundreds of sand bandits rushed in, although it was magnificent and murderous, but the soldiers of the Guards were strictly disciplined, and under the command of Xuanyuan Shengcai, they actually responded to the enemy in an orderly manner.

Their arrows may not be a hundred shots, but they are definitely not weak, and they may not be fatal with one arrow, but they are enough to make the sand bandits turn on their backs.

The White Wolf Sand Bandit obviously didn't expect such a situation.

They always thought that this sneak attack should be a massacre, and it should have been when the mission was still asleep, and the saber had already cut their necks.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

The mission seemed to be on guard, and when it rushed down the dunes, the soldiers of the Guards who had been in the tent suddenly came out like ghosts, they had already prepared their longbows and crossbows, and they seemed to have lined up in the blink of an eye, and before the sand bandits who were following behind could see the situation clearly, there was already a rain of arrows pouring down from the sky.

The bandits' horses were shot critically and lay on the ground struggling, and many of the bandits also fell from their horses and cried on the ground, and the bandits wanted to attack the mission, but instead they were ambushed by the mission.

Almost none of the sand bandits have such psychological preparation, under the riot, in the face of the rain of arrows of the guards, some brave sand bandits still want to brave the rain of arrows to rush into the past, after all, it is cavalry against infantry, if you get close to the past, you may not be able to kill and wound the already tired guards, but more bandits were ambushed by this, watching the arrows of their companions fall off their horses, ghosts cry wolf howls, they are really frightened, turn their horses' heads and want to retreat.

At this moment, some of them want to continue to attack, while others want to retreat, and their thoughts are not unified, causing the scene to be even more chaotic, and many of them even collide with each other.

Screams, shouts, shouts, mixed together.

There are more than a dozen fierce sand bandits wielding sabers to dodge the arrows, rushing close to the guards, at close range, only when the guards soldiers' bows and arrows do not work, but they do not know, when they are far away, the guards soldiers with bows and arrows wait, and when they rush closer, a group of guards soldiers have quickly put down their longbows, picked up the short swords on the ground, and mercilessly shot the sand bandits who rushed closer.

The range of the short bow is far inferior to that of the bow and arrow, but the explosiveness and lethality at close range are more powerful, and the sound of "whooshing" crossbow arrows is endless, and the sand bandits who approached have fallen off their horses.

Black Wind led people to see clearly in the sand dunes opposite, and the sand bandits under the lookout white wolf fell one after another, suffering unprecedented heavy damage, and Black Wind Heart was also surprised.

The one-eyed sand bandit was already anxious next to him: "Big brother, we can't wait!" ”

Hei Feng already understood that the mission was more powerful than he wanted at this moment, and gritted his teeth, but he didn't give an order immediately, and the one-eyed sand bandit said anxiously: "Big brother, they are all led over there, let's attack at this time, and we may not be able to win if we attack from both sides." ”

The other side of the mission was in full swing, but this side was unusually cold, the muscles on Hei Feng's face twitched, and he was also a little conflicted at this time, if he only looked at the battle situation below, at this moment, he led nearly two hundred sand bandits under his command to rush down from this side, it was very likely to turn the tide of the battle, but seeing the piercing and miserable screams of the white wolf sand bandits, he did not dare to act rashly.

"Big brother, let's go to this opportunity, they are on guard, and it will be difficult to find another opportunity." Seeing that Hei Feng was still hesitating, the one-eyed sand bandit was anxious: "Big brother, give an order quickly, we can't wait!" ”

Hei Feng finally made a decision: "Erhe, you take fifty people to rush down first, and see if the truth is real...... But if something is wrong, withdraw immediately, and I will answer you here! ”

The one-eyed bandit had already turned around, waved at the sand bandit under the dune, and shouted, "Follow me fifty people!" The sand bandit immediately galloped out dozens of horses, followed by the one-eyed sand bandit, the one-eyed sand bandit was already impatient, got the order, had already brandished the saber, and said sharply: "Rush down with me!" "Take the lead and swoop down from the dunes.

The sand bandits behind him were also brandishing sabers, following the one-eyed sand bandits like a tide, and under the scorching sun, the swords flashed.

Although the white wolf sand bandit's ghost crying wolf howl miserably, the one-eyed sand bandit is still full of morale, as long as he leads people to break into the mission camp from here, he believes that the mission will be in chaos.

The Guards set up an ambush and dealt a heavy blow to the White Wolf Sand Bandit, but the One-Eyed Sand Bandit felt that the men and horses of the mission were already at the end of the crossbow, although they set up an ambush, but it was only with a bow and arrow to meet the enemy, and the One-Eyed Sand Bandit believed that if the hand-to-hand combat at close range and the white blades intersected, the Guards at this moment would be vulnerable.

The horse under his crotch was running fast and dusty, and he believed that he would be a true hero who broke into the Mission's camp.

The dust and sand rolled, and an arrow pierced the air from the camp like a meteor, and this arrow was so fast that the one-eyed sand bandit only felt a flower in front of him, and then he felt that his eyebrows were in pain, and he had fallen from his horse.

This arrow was ruthlessly shot into the eyebrows of the one-eyed sand bandit, and it was extremely accurate.

The One-Eyed Sandbands thought he would be the first hero to storm the camp, but he became the first warrior of the Black Wind Sandbands to die.

When the one-eyed sand bandit fell off his horse, from the tent of the mission, he quickly rushed out of hundreds of guards soldiers, all of whom were already carrying longbows and quivers, holding short stalks, out of the tent, and in a very short period of time they had been lined up in two columns, putting the short sand at their feet, quickly taking off the longbow, bending the bow and arrows, the movements were smooth, and when they were ready, Chu Huan had already stood out from the crowd, also carrying the quiver box on his back, holding the bow in his hand, raising his hand, and shouting: "Shoot!" ”

Without giving the bandits any chance to hesitate, the arrows flew out like locusts.

When the Guards rushed out of the tent, the Black Wind Sand Bandits did not continue to rush forward, they all reined in their horses, turned around and left.

The tragic situation of the white wolf sand bandits, they have just seen it clearly on the sand dunes, and these people know in their hearts that rushing over at this moment is just a reenactment of the scene of the white wolf sand bandits.

The Black Wind Sand Bandits are retreating quickly, and the White Wolf Sand Bandits on the other side have also retreated in a hurry.

The longbow and short crossbow, in the hands of the well-trained and disciplined guards, that is a powerful and incomparable killing tool, the power is amazing, the white wolf and sand bandits can't sneak attack, and even if they want to get close desperately, they can't do it if they want to get close to it, there are longbows in the distance, and there are strong crossbows in the near future, they finally understand at this time that this sneak attack is not a caravan, but a mission protected by the most elite warriors of Great Qin.

Most of the white wolf sand bandits were lost, the sand was full of sand bandits' corpses, some did not die, they struggled on the ground, their companions' horses were in chaos, and several sand bandits who were struggling on the ground were even trampled to death by their companions' horses' hooves, and the sand bandits had already lost their fighting spirit, turned around and left, ignoring their companions who cried for help on the ground.

It came quickly, but it was also fast.

The white wolf sand bandits left corpses all over the place, and finally fled in embarrassment, Xuanyuan Sheng looked at the retreating sand bandits, and did not order the soldiers to pursue, but still lined up to guard against the return of the sand bandits.

The White Wolf Sand Bandits retreated quickly, and the Black Wind Sand Bandits retreated not slowly, although when they retreated, three or four people were shot and killed, and a few people were injured, but because of the timely retreat, the casualties were very light.

Hei Feng was on the sand dunes, and the moment he saw the one-eyed sand bandit fall off his horse, he was shocked and discolored, his face was distorted and deformed, his lips trembled, and several horsemen around him looked at each other, not daring to speak.

Everyone knows that the one-eyed sand bandit is the number one general under Black Wind and the number two person of Black Wind Sand Bandit, and he is deeply respected by Black Wind.

The one-eyed sand bandit is murderous by nature, and every time he goes out, he rushes to the front, and his hands are stained with blood, but no one would have imagined that this cruel and easy-to-kill general will die here inexplicably this time.

The Black Wind Sand Bandits had retreated to the top of the sand dunes, and Black Wind looked at the mission camp, saw the two columns of Guards soldiers waiting in battle, and looked at the corpse of the one-eyed sand bandit lying on the ground, his fists clenched, his pupils constricted.

Although the casualties of his men were very light, the killing of the one-eyed sand bandit was really not a light blow to him.

He wanted to wave his hand and let the two hundred or so sand bandits under his command rush through, and he believed that although the guards were prepared, with longbows and short swords, if they really rushed madly, they might not be able to break through to the camp.

But he also knows that doing so is undoubtedly a desperate gamble, burying his hard work for many years, he is a "learned" sand bandit, knowing the truth of killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000, this time rushing over, even if he wins, the black wind sand bandit will inevitably have little left, even if he grabs the finances of the mission, but if his subordinates suffer heavy losses, then his capital to cross the desert will disappear.

"Chief, what are we going to do?" Seeing that the mission was in full array, only on the defensive, and did not pursue it, a sand bandit next to him asked cautiously.

Black Wind finally showed a cold smile, "The road to the desert is still long, Lao Tzu will never let them get out of the desert alive!" He turned his horse's head and led his men down the dunes.
