Chapter 34: The Ringing of the Hurricane

It was not a way to wait like this, so Hu Fei decided to walk forward to meet the late caravan. Bypassing the county seat, he walked along the highway for most of the day, and Hu Fei parked the team on the side of the road. Looking around, there are continuous dark red mountains in the distance, and large and small gravel in the distance. There are occasional low green plants, which is a typical barren mountain Gobi.

Set up an ambush here, that's a natural good place! Even if the sky is broken here, the reinforcements from Shanshan County will not be able to catch up.

Hu Fei led people to dig pits in the middle of the road, and dug several large pits with a diameter of three meters and a depth of one and a half meters in front and back. The purpose of digging these pits was not to hurt anyone, but to prevent the target caravan from speeding forward and escaping.

After the pit was dug, there was no camouflage on it, just hanging in the open air. There were no branches or straw mats around, and Hu Fei couldn't find anything to use even if he wanted to disguise himself. Forget it, so be it.

After digging the pit, the long wait began. Time seemed to stand still, the clouds in the sky stood still, and there was not a trace of wind in the air. If it weren't for the whispered conversations of the surrounding warriors and the snort of the war horses who couldn't bear the loneliness, Hu Fei would have thought that this qiē was not an illusion.

Hu Fei parked his troops behind a small hill less than 100 meters in diameter, and the soldiers dismounted and sat on the ground to rest. Since it's an ambush, you have to find a relatively hidden place to hide. If so many people stand on the main road, people will see it from afar, and it won't have the effect of a surprise attack.

The sky was still clear just a moment ago, and suddenly there was a gust of wind. The wind grew stronger and stronger, picking up tiny sands and stones and whistling them straight at the people. This kind of climate is all too common in the wilderness of the Gobi, and the warriors sit together as much as possible with black scarves and collars up. The horses also lay down in the ground and huddled together like their masters, and the men and horses were close together to withstand the bad weather.

This kind of windy weather often occurs on the Gobi Desert, and sometimes it can even blow for several days without stopping, so I hope the storm will not last too long this time! For the power of nature, Hu Fei really couldn't think of any better way than to pray secretly.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell" There was a faint bell in the wind, it was a caravan! Hu Fei felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he stood up and was about to go around the hills to see. It's too windy! As soon as he took a step, the fierce wind blew Hu Fei's feet, if he hadn't taken a step in time, maybe he would have been able to leave him on his heels.

couldn't stand steadily, let alone run out to see, Hu Fei hurriedly sat down in his place. Feeling that someone was dragging him next to him, Hu Fei turned his eyes and saw that it was Li San. Look at the ground around me, a fist-sized rock is swinging gently at the sharp corners upwards. Without Li Sanla, Hu Fei would have to be seriously injured today!

For his bodyguard and brother, Hu Fei didn't need to say words of thanks, just nodded slightly, indicating that he knew that Li San had saved him. I remember that when I sat here just now, it didn't seem to have this stone, could it be that the wind blew it?

Tightly grasping the stone that almost injured him, Hu Fei pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the ringing of the bell in the wind. The ringing comes and goes, I believe that if it weren't for this gust of wind, the ringing would not have reached Hu Fei's ears, and the ringing was too far away.

In this kind of gale, Hu Fei couldn't even take two steps, and he didn't believe that anyone would dare to take his livestock to drive in the hurricane. It must have been some traveler, or the caravan that had been waiting for a long time, sheltering from the wind not far ahead!

The bell rings intermittently, as if it were nothing, always so faint, and did not get louder and louder with the passage of time. Hu Fei knew that he had guessed correctly, the animal with the bell stayed in a fixed place and did not move, and it was sheltering from the wind with its owner.

The wind blew for more than three hours before it gradually became smaller. The sky was clear again, and a few white clouds hung leisurely in the sky, and I didn't know where the dark clouds flew just now.

"Attention everyone, quickly organize your weapons and ammunition, and get ready for battle!" As soon as Hu Fei stood up, he called out to the soldiers to get up and pack up their equipment.

Hours of wind and sand have covered everyone's body with a thick layer of sand, grab the gun handle and shake it, "plop" straight down the sand foam, this thing is not good to clean up, how to make a sound? If the key part gets into the sand, it will explode when you shoot!

I usually practice disassembling and assembling firearms, although I can't reach the best Cheng dù, it's no problem to disassemble and wipe it in five or six minutes. After listening to Hu Fei's order, the soldiers each picked up their guns and began to disassemble and wipe them without saying a word. Maintaining guns before the war is an insurance for your own life, and no one will be sloppy at this time.

After everyone wiped down the guns, the bell still didn't ring again, as if it had never been there. Hu Fei is not in a hurry, what should come is still coming after all, as long as the bell just now is not brought by the heavenly immortals, the owner of the bell will appear in front of his eyes sooner or later.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the bell finally rang again. Listen quietly, the ringing is crisp and melodious, and it is getting closer. Hu Fei turned over the Dalma and lifted the box cannon with one hand. More than 200 soldiers quietly lined up in battle formation behind him.

A small black dot appeared at the end of the road, and the black dot slowly grew larger, and slowly it was a person, a man riding an animal. When you can tell that it is a person, you can also see that there is someone behind this person, and he is not alone. Is it a caravan? Hu Fei was unusually a little nervous.

It was a caravan, but a small caravan. There were only three camels and four people in the whole caravan. Two people ride camels, two people walk underground. Could this be the caravan that Hu Fei was going to rob on a long march with his troops for a week? Hu Fei had an urge to scold his mother at this time, wasn't he deceived by false information?

Do these three camels rob it? If you don't grab Ken, maybe this time you will really go down the mountain empty-handed! But if it was robbed, wouldn't that mean that he got false information this time? He took two hundred men and spent a week on a long expedition just to rob the three camels?

At this moment, another black dot suddenly appeared on the horizon. The black dot grew larger and longer, revealing his prototype, which was quite a long line. You can already see people riding camels in front of you, and you're still emerging from the end of the horizon behind you.

The three camels in front of them didn't seem to know that they were followed by a large caravan, and they had been moving forward since they appeared on the road, and they hadn't even looked back. The small caravan got closer and closer, and finally came to the vicinity of the chain of large pits. At first, the men didn't pay attention, but when they got closer, they saw a big pit, and the two camel riders also jumped off the camel's back.
