Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Sand Pirates Attack the City
On the other side of the desert, a puff of smoke and dust had been kicked up, and they hurried towards the town. It's still a little far away, and I can't see it very clearly, but it's obvious that it's not a smoke and dust that one or two people can kick off, and there must be a lot of people gathered together. If the speed is fast, it means that you are riding a mount.
"Is this the sand thief?" The strange thing is that at this moment, when he finally faced the sand thief, the little nervousness in Meng Han's heart disappeared directly. Looking at this group of sand thieves who were dressed in tatters and brandished weapons, Meng Han suddenly had a ridiculous idea in his mind: "It seems that the life of the robbers is not very nourishing, they are dressed like flowers, alas, there is no future!"
Unlike Meng Han's cranky thinking here, Qiao and Zhu had already begun to warn everyone loudly: "Don't panic, there are few of them, and they can't rush up!" Grab your weapons, hide behind, and be careful of the sand thieves' bows and arrows!"
While reminding, Joe did not forget to be by Meng Han's side, and carefully pulled him behind the improvised battlements made of three protruding tree trunks. Seeing that there were two little girls behind Meng Han, Qiao only frowned and didn't say anything. He also heard Meng Han's words just now, this was not Meng Han's idea, and he couldn't blame Meng Han.
"It's coming!" Joe muttered as he stared carefully at the sand thieves rushing over there.
"Let them taste the power of being trapped in a horse pit right away!" Meng Han also poked his head out and watched from afar.
Unexpectedly, the sand thieves were far away from the trap and stopped. It is estimated that he suddenly saw that there was an extra city here, and he was a little shocked. It's no wonder that even the people in Huangsha Town think it's a miracle, and it's natural for the sand thieves to have such thoughts.
Several sand pirate cavalry quickly ran towards both sides, and the other brigades of men and horses were still in place, waiting quietly. Those cavalry, at first glance, are spies, probably looking around, whether there are any obvious weaknesses in this city that can be exploited!
The distance was not far away, and Meng Han could already see the approximate number of people over there. Unlike the news sent by the mercenary, there were more than 200 sand thieves this time, which was twice as many as their estimates.
"Joe, there are more people, will there be a problem?" Meng Han leaned on Qiao beside him with his shoulder, Qiao seemed to be frightened, his body trembled, and he almost ran out. However, he still forcibly held back, and turned his head to look at Meng Han: "My lord, they retreated in the face of difficulties, isn't it?"
"Not good!" Meng Han looked at the group of sand thieves in the distance and shook his head: "What I want is not just for them to retreat in the face of difficulties, but for anyone who wants to move Huangsha Town in the future will think of the fate of these sand thieves." The calm words did not seem to have any murderous aura. However, the meaning of the words has a strong bloody atmosphere.
Joe didn't know why his adult had such a mind, but in the long run, it would be very beneficial to eliminate this group of sand thieves. At least what Meng Han said was enough to make Qiao tempted. Who wouldn't want a peaceful home?
No one knows why Meng Han has such a big murderous intent, only Meng Han knows it. The humiliation he received on the side of the elven clan, Meng Han urgently needed to find a punching bag to vent out, otherwise, he himself said, it is better to block than to loosen, if the power of the curse is not vented, there will be very serious consequences. And the anger and humiliation in the heart are the same, holding it in the heart, you will only feel more and more sad. Meng Han needed these sand thieves to be his punching bag now.
"My lord, they're moving!" Joe didn't know what Meng Han was thinking, but he kept an eye on the movements of the sand thieves. The few horses that had just been separated had already turned, probably in a circle, and no defects were found that could be attacked. At this moment, the brigade of sand thieves has slowly begun to rush towards the front.
"A group of guys who want money and don't want their lives, when they see that there is a city, they dare to let their horses rush over!" After informing the lord, Joe hid behind the battlements, looked at the sand thieves who were slowly accelerating, and couldn't help but curse.
"Joe, they're just sand thieves, not an army. When Meng Han heard Qiao's words, he obviously couldn't laugh or cry at Qiao's gesture of sighing for the other party's choice, so he could only explain helplessly: "If they know when to advance and retreat, they are not sand thieves." ”
"My lord, they just don't believe how strong our city is. Joe broke through the thoughts of the sand pirates. In one day and one night, no matter how many people there are, it is impossible to build such a strong castle. What's more, it can be seen from a distance that this is just a wooden city. It is estimated that in the hearts of the sand pirates, such a simple castle, with just one impact, can destroy the entire fragile wood, revealing the town behind.
The cavalry didn't take long to accelerate, and there was enough distance for them to speed up from where the sand pirates had just stopped to the side of the town's walls. The sand thieves did as they had done in the desert, brandishing their scimitars and screaming loudly, rushing towards the wall.
and Rolloro, the voice rang out, instantly causing a wave of tension among the civilians on the city walls who had taken up arms for the first time. Zhu, who was in a hurry, shouted: "Don't be afraid, they are still far away!" After shouting for a while, the pale civilians slowly mustered up their courage and continued to stand on the city wall to face the sand thieves who rushed over.
"Trapped in the horse pit!" Meng Han looked at the sand thieves under the city opposite without blinking. It's still a long way off, but they've seen them rush within the range of the pit.
With Meng Han's slightly expectant voice, the group of majestic-looking sand thieves, the group of mounts with about forty or fifty people at the front, suddenly seemed to be short, and let out a long hiss, as if they were fighting somersaults on the spot. The knight on horseback was driven by the huge habitual surname, drawing beautiful parabolas, and the man also rushed forward dozens of meters in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, stirring up smoke and dust all over the place.
The violent impact made the sand thieves suffer enough. Only a few of the sand thieves who fell to the ground could still move, but they only crawled on the ground and struggled slightly, trying to stand up, but it was no longer possible. More of them, but they are a blur of flesh and blood, and with wild falls and violent friction, few can maintain their human appearance.
Everyone was taken aback by the sudden scene in front of them. However, when everyone saw the situation, the people on the city wall let out a burst of cheers. The sand thieves behind reined in their mounts in time, and looked at the miserable situation of their companions in front of them, all of them were speechless in shock.
The panicked sand thieves will calm down for a while, and look at Qiao on the city wall for a while. If there is a competent army, take advantage of this opportunity to kill directly, and the sand thieves will not resist at all. It's a pity!
The sand thieves had fallen silent, and everyone looked at the leader in the middle. The leader looked at the corpses of the sand thieves on the ground, his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, and listening to the sound of cheers on the city wall, the leader gritted his teeth as if he had been whipped fiercely: "Brothers, rush! We will wash Huangsha Town with blood today! We must not let any of them go!"
Usually, this is the slogan of the sand pirates to deter the caravan, and there is a high probability that in the desert, the members of the caravan and the bodyguards will lose their fighting spirit. However, today is different, Meng Han just said how ferocious the sand thieves are, and how everyone has no way out. The shout of the sand thief leader just confirmed Meng Han's words. The civilians on the city wall also completely recognized the current situation, and no one had any illusions.
The sand thieves are very smart, although the forty or fifty people just now have fallen, but in that area, there are no more horse pits. Meng Han had no intention of keeping these sand thieves out of the harbor from the beginning. It is already very satisfying to be able to kill and injure a quarter of their manpower.
"Archers prepare!" Joe ordered loudly: "Others, hide behind the city walls, and be careful of the bows and arrows of the sand thieves!" These sand thieves crisscross the desert, and the skills of bows and arrows in one hand are very powerful, and the distance is already very close, although they just enter the range of bows and arrows, and the sand thieves may not use bows and arrows, but they still have to be careful.
As soon as Qiao's words were shouted, everyone had just drilled behind the battlements, and the battlements in front of Meng Han made two aggressive sounds. Two arrows were accurately inserted into the battlements.
"Christian, Christopher, it's up to you!" Qiao and Zhu don't know how to bow and arrow skills, the only thing Meng Han knows is the elf brothers, and at this time, it is a good opportunity for them to show their skills.
Whoosh, the two brothers lived up to expectations, got up and aimed and shot, condescendingly, and the range was a little farther than that of the sand thieves. Two arrows were fired, and Meng Han immediately saw two sand thieves falling from their horses.
"Well done!" Meng Han looked at it from behind the battlements, and couldn't help but stand up and shout.
The leader of the sand thieves was rushing forward with a bow and arrow, full of resentment. Suddenly, I saw a guy who looked like a nobleman showing his head, shouting and screaming, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, pulled up the bowstring, and shot at Meng Han is arrow.
"My lord, be careful!" In the rush just now, Joe had already hidden behind another battlement, and was observing the sand thieves, when he suddenly found this arrow from the leader of the sand bandits, and immediately his soul was scattered. wanted to knock Meng Han down, but it was too late.
Meng Han could only watch as the arrow shot out of the leader of the sand thieves and rushed towards him, his movements seemed to be very slow, but they were extremely clear. Meng Han wanted to move, but his body seemed to be imprisoned by something and couldn't move.
At the critical moment, a red light suddenly appeared in front of Meng Han, followed by a vague shadow. The arrow thudd, piercing through the blurred shadow, and with a thud, was blocked by the red light. The arrow stayed a few inches in front of Meng Han's throat, and then landed with all his strength.
