Xi Ling's mood had sunk to a low point, the horse bandits' tactics were so thorough, but she had made many wrong decisions. As a result, there has been such a serious mistake in the battle so far, and she has self-blame for herself in her heart, and even more hatred for the horse bandits.

At this critical moment, the gunfire on the left flank suddenly intensified, and from time to time there was the sound of the war horse roaring in pain. Xi Ling realized that this was Xi Lin, who had already begun to help the city guards on the left side. She couldn't help but thank God that Xilin finally didn't drop the chain this time, and she was finally able to stabilize the battle situation.

After her mood stabilized, she said to the soldiers behind her: "Vanguard, I want to be the vanguard, this place is too far away from their position to fight, we need to get closer and finish off those two heavy machine guns." Who goes? ”

The discipline of the soldiers of the city guard was trained well by Xi Ling, and more than a dozen people immediately signed up with Xi Ling. Xi Ling then ordered some grenades with wooden handles to be tied up and distributed to the vanguards, and each of them took a helmet like an iron pot to put on.

Then Xi Ling said: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time and go up one by one, I will suppress their firepower in the back, and then attack quickly when I see their firepower free!" Go ahead and don't worry, come one by one. ”

At this time, the first vanguard rushed out first, lying on the ground and crawling forward. Xi Ling immediately ordered the soldiers to fire only in the direction of the two heavy machine guns, and their fire must be suppressed. Then the second vanguard jumped out again, and slowly crawled forward after the first vanguard.

And then the third, the fourth...... At this time, the other party also saw that something was wrong, the heavy machine gun was suppressed, but the rifle began to fire at the vanguard. Within a few minutes, two of the vanguard were killed one after the other, and the vanguard behind was also suppressed so that they could no longer move forward.

At this moment, rows of gunfire suddenly erupted from the left, suppressing most of the bandits' firepower. Xi Ling was completely relieved at this time, Xi Lin and they must have finished cleaning up those cavalry now, and began to attack the horse bandit position.

At this time, most of the vanguard on Xiling's side had died, and finally one of the vanguard crawled in front of the bandits' position, pulled the grenade that was tied up and threw it next to the heavy machine gun. Only a loud "boom" was heard, and the heavy machine gun was lifted up by the huge impact force and flew into the air, and the parts were scattered all over the ground.

Because the two heavy machine guns were not far apart, the other heavy machine gun also fell silent, and both the machine gunner and the reloader were killed. Seeing that the other party's general trend had gone, Xiling shouted: "Rush, ......"

The soldiers behind her also rushed out shouting, and the people on the left also rushed towards the horse bandit camp under the leadership of Xilin.

What they didn't notice was that as they charged, more than twenty people in the bandit camp rode quickly to the west. The leader was a masked black-robed middle-aged man, his gaze resolute with some regret. As their figures became farther and farther away, the other horse bandits also fled to the rear one after another when they saw that the situation was not good, and there was no hindrance to Xiling and them.

After the leader of the horse bandits fled, there were not many horses left, and many horses that had been killed and wounded by bullets were lying there. The rest of the bandits could only run on two legs, but the bullets from behind were whizzing. Many of the brave bandits gritted their teeth despite the rain of bullets and bullets were able to run out, and more of them were the horse bandits who were frightened by the city guards, so they could only raise their guns and kneel on the ground to surrender.

The ruffians were so proud of this that they ran up to the captives and turned their pockets and camp inside. There are a lot of things that have been turned out, but they are all materials used in the war, a lot of cold weapons, and not many guns and ammunition left.

As for valuable objects such as gold and silver coins, they are very few. These people are scolding and scolding in their mouths, some of them scold the horse bandits for being useless poor bastards, and some of them scold Xilin for a long time to expect this result, and they are still teasing them to work hard, they simply have no asshole for their sons!

The people of the city guards and the warlords laughed at the naivety of these ruffians and hooligans, if these horse bandits were not so poor that they could not eat, how could they come to the city-state to rob! Although Silver Tower City is a small city-state, no matter how small it is, it is also a city-state, and it is not forced to do it, and the horse bandits will not think of such an unreasonable method at all.

These people are low-level soldiers, and of course they can only see the most superficial things. Xi Ling was very familiar with the figure of the horse bandit leader who ran away in the lookout, and she was eighty percent sure that that person was Sikong. To say that Sikong came to Yinta City to rob and extort, Xiling didn't believe it at all, she would rather believe that Sikong was testing the strength of Yinta City.

Now more than half of the strength of Duke Duozan of Yinta City has been shown to him, although Xiling and they have won, but it is only a narrow victory. Sikong easily touched the bottom of Duke Dozan with these horse bandits who didn't know where to get their guns and were not fully equipped, this guy is really as Duke Dozan said, more and more scheming.

Moreover, Xi Ling also made a judgment in her heart, that is, it is very likely that the more than 20 cavalrymen who escaped with Sikong are Sikong's real subordinates. And the other people are probably just being dragged by Sikong to take advantage of it, and in this battle, he may have only lost some horses and guns.

This idea was immediately confirmed, and what Xi Lin asked from the mouths of those captives was indeed not much different from what Xi Ling expected. Sikong did indeed only take his men with him at first, and then went to the southwestern disaster area of the Scorching Sun Federation that had a great drought this year to recruit people.

The villages in the disaster-stricken areas have no harvest this year, and the land is thousands of miles away. The people had no food and clothing, and countless people died of starvation, so they had no food to eat. Sikong and more than 20 of his men used horse-drawn carts to haul food in some villages, and directly made a deed of sale with people in some villages, and then took them to the mountains hundreds of kilometers away from Yinta City.

After these people who were dying of starvation recovered their bodies, Sikong distributed guns to more than half of them, and the other part used cold weapons such as war knives, and they began to train in the mountains. For these people who were bought by a deed of sale, after experiencing that situation of dying of starvation, they were already content to eat a full mouthful.

So they all train very seriously and work very hard. Two months later, they followed Sikong out of the mountains, replenished some horses, weapons and ammunition, and walked to Yinta City after more than ten days. Unexpectedly, when they first came to Silver Tower City, they ended up being captured, and these people also lamented their misfortune and asked Xilin if they would be shot.

Sirin joked to them that it was impossible to shoot because it would be a waste of bullets. However, the executioners in Silver Tower City have very good skills at cutting off heads, one knife is very efficient and you have almost no pain, ask them if they want to give it a try. The captives were frightened when they heard this, they were just some ordinary people, how could they withstand such a frightening from Xilin, and two people were scared to pee their pants on the spot.

After seeing this situation, Xiling severely criticized Xilin, this is a battlefield, not a place to joke. What if these captives feel that they have no hope of survival, and then rebel desperately? She really can't help her half-brother in particular, sometimes he's just a big boy.

Xilin still smiled at Xiling, and lit a cigarette and said: "Xiling, you are also a big boss, have you ever thought about your life's events?" ”

When Xi Ling heard him actually ask about this, Cheng Lei's shadow immediately appeared in her mind, and her little face suddenly became a little ruddy: "Do you have something serious, now that there are so many captive soldiers, it's not enough for you to worry about, why did you suddenly remember to ask this!" ”

Xilin said with a smile: "Didn't you ask me why I suddenly learned to smoke that time?" Let me tell you, I actually have a lot of respect for a person, and he's an old smoker. So I wanted to find out what it would be like to smoke and see if it would make a difference. It's a little unrealistic, but I really want to be like him......"

"You...... You're talking about Cheng Lei, right? Xi Ling already knew the answer in her heart, but she couldn't help but ask.

Xilin nodded and said, "It's him, Xiling, I know you have him in your heart." Why don't you go for your own happiness? ”

Xi Ling's face flashed with a look of self-deprecation: "You mean, marry him?" Hehe...... I mentioned it to him long before he got married, but he didn't agree. ”

"Why, there has to be a reason, right?" Xilin asked a little anxiously.

"He said we weren't ......"

Cillin extinguished the cigarette butt and said firmly: "Impossible, I have seen the way he looks at you." He likes you in his heart, and we've been friends for so long, he's not a hypocritical person at all, you must have said something you shouldn't have said! Or, you put forward conditions that shouldn't be made......"

Xi Ling was a little surprised why Xi Lin had become so smart, she sighed and had to tell the truth: "It's okay to tell you, anyway, it's all in the past." Actually, I proposed to him, which also means His Excellency the Duke. ”

Xilin made an expression that was really like this, and then said viciously: "Xiling, can you not put yourself on the line for the sake of His Excellency the Duke, okay?" I feel so sorry for you! With that, he went about his own business in a huff.

Xi Ling looked at Xi Lin's figure, and her heart kept tumbling: Could it be that my choice was really wrong?

Cheng Lei's shadow swirled in front of her eyes, his handsomeness and chic, his words and deeds, his gentle interpretation, and his coldness and seriousness. All of them took root, sprouted, and even blossomed in Xiling's heart......
