Chapter 176 [Blood Stained Sand] (II)
Martha helped Desirei to flee to Luo Hunt, Luo Hunt crawled out of the trench and helped Desirey hide in the trench, at this time more than a dozen shells exploded in the ancient city, and the Tajik caravan members suffered heavy casualties, judging from the current situation, the other party was not prepared to leave alive at all, and used their powerful firepower to launch a massacre.
Desiree was hiding in the trench, his heart was like ashes at the moment, he closed his eyes and prayed silently, in fact, he didn't know what else to do but pray, Martha held a scimitar in her hand, her face was full of fear and helplessness, she didn't know why she fell into such a predicament?
The sound of the cannon gradually subsided, but the gunfire was getting closer and closer, and judging from the movement heard, the other party had begun to approach the city. Luo Lie said to Martha: "Don't be afraid, I believe we will have a chance to escape." β
Martha nodded, and Desirei suddenly said, "Quran...... They are coming to the Qur'an......"
Luo Hunt didn't understand what he meant, and suddenly saw Desiree crawling outside, Martha called out to her father and wanted to chase him out, but was held up by Luo Hunt, because Luo Hunt saw that the bandits who attacked the caravan had entered the ancient city.
Desiree was shocked by what he saw, the shelling had caused heavy casualties among his people, the ground was littered with broken limbs, several people who had narrowly escaped the shelling were shivering in the corners, and there were a few seriously wounded on the ground who had not lost their breath and were dying.
Resili was in tears, and he recognized one of them, rushed up, picked him up with tears, and wailed: "O Allah! Why? Why did they do this?"
Dozens of bandits entered the ancient city first, and a Tajik rushed out of the corner, raised his scimitar to attack, but before his scimitar fell, more than a dozen guns aimed at him at the same time, shooting the man like a hornet's nest, and instantly killed him on the spot.
More and more bandits entered the ancient city, and everyone was fully armed and completely controlled the situation in the ancient city.
Luo Lie and Martha hid in the dark trench, and from their vantage point they could see different pairs of shoes passing by. A man in a gray military uniform and riding boots slowly passed in front of them, a young man, burly and handsome, only with a disgusting sinister air on his face, and spotless white gloves in his hands, came to Desire's side and pulled out a Browning pistol from his waist.
Desiree looked up at him angrily, he didn't know the man.
The man smiled and said, "Hello, I heard that you have brought a copy of the Quran from Shanxi, can you show it to me?"
Desirei said angrily: "The Qur'an is with Allah in the hearts of each of us, and you slaughter our people, are you not afraid that Allah will condemn you?"
The man laughed, he suddenly raised his pistol, aimed at the temple of the wounded man in Delisi's arms, the bullet shattered the wounded man's head, blood and brains burst out of Desiri's head and face, and Desiri's weather-beaten face was twisted with pain.
The man raised his gun slightly and pointed it at Desire's head: "Be obedient, otherwise you will be next." β
Martha saw that her father's life was in danger, and she tried her best to struggle out to rescue her, but she was hugged by Luo Lie, and her big hand covered her mouth and nose. Even if Martha appeared, it wouldn't change the situation, it was just to give the bandits an extra bargaining chip against De Siri.
Glaring at the man in military uniform, his gaze full of unyieldingness, DΓ©siri took a copy of the Koran from his bosom and handed it over.
The man took the Koran, looked at it and threw it on the ground, angrily exclaiming, "Isn't this one, old thing, are you challenging my patience?" The shot was still not aimed at Desire, but at another innocent clansman, and the shot hit the man in the heart.
When Desirei saw his clansmen dying in front of him one by one, his heart was like a knife, but he was outnumbered, his fate was all in the hands of others, and he couldn't help the fate of his clansmen...... Stop......"
The man blew lightly on the muzzle of the gun and said, "Whether the rest of the people are dead or alive is all in your thoughts, you know which one I want." β
Desirei bit his lip hard.
At this time, the bandits, who had counted the number of people, came to the man's side and whispered in his ear that the caravan was missing one person as a result of the preliminary count, and it was none other than Dessili's daughter. The man waved his hand, motioned for his men to search the ancient city, leaned over and grabbed Desire's neckline, put the muzzle of the gun to his forehead, and said, "Say, where is your daughter?"
Desiri didn't speak, and the man raised his hand and slammed the butt of his rifle into Desire's cheek, knocking Desiree to the ground.
Martha saw her father's tragic condition through the cracks, tears had blurred her vision, and she struggled as hard as she could, trying to break free from Luo Hunt's shackles and rush out to rescue her father.
Luo Lie whispered in her ear: "I'll let you out, remember to find a way to lure that person here, we only have one chance." "Because the other party found that the caravan was missing a person, they relaunched a search in the ancient city, and with their manpower, it would not be long before they discovered their hiding place. Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative.
In adversity, the only way to win is to win in danger, Luo Lie is actually not far from the bandit leader, and he is completely sure to shoot him at such a distance, but even if he successfully shoots the bandit leader, he can't control the overall situation, capture the thief and capture the king first, for him, the only chance to turn the situation back is to restrain the bandit leader.
Judging from the conversation between the bandits, they knew the inside of the caravan very well, otherwise they would not have found out that Desire's daughter was not present in such a short time.
Martha's mournful voice rang out, and the attention of the bandits was all drawn to her.
When Desiri saw his daughter come out, it was too late to stop him, and he struggled to protect his daughter, but he was firmly held down by two bandits, and the young bandit leader walked slowly towards Martha.
Martha exclaimed, "I know where you want are. β
The young bandit leader smiled and said, "Be careful, the one who knows the times is Junjie, you should be much smarter than your father!"
Several bandits rushed towards Martha, trying to subdue her, but Martha put her scimitar across her neck and shouted: "Get out of the way, whoever dares to come over, I will kill myself!"
Several bandits were frightened by her momentum and did not dare to step forward for a while.
The young bandit leader waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to get out of the way, he slowly walked towards Martha and said: "You are Martha, my name is Tan Zicong, I have no ill will towards you, as long as you persuade your father to hand over the Koran, I will leave here with my men and horses immediately, and I will never break my word." "In the face of the unarmed caravan, he decisively ordered the opening of fire, causing heavy casualties to the caravan, and now he said that he had no malicious intent, and this man could really be called brazen.
Martha looked at her father, who fell to the ground, her eyes were red, and she said, "If you dare to kill one of my clansmen, you will never get what you want." β
Tan Zicong nodded and said, "I don't kill people." In order to show his sincerity, he also sheathed his gun and spread his hands, but his footsteps did not stop, and he still walked towards Martha.
Martha stared at Tan Zicong, visually seeing that the other party had entered her attack range, she suddenly attacked, and the scimitar across her neck reversed, drawing an arc of light and heading straight for Tan Zicong's front door. Tan Zicong was in danger, his body did not push forward, his right hand was gently supported at Martha's wrist holding the knife, Martha's arm couldn't help but rise, and his left fist was a black tiger digging out his heart, and hit Martha's lower abdomen hard, this punch was so powerful that Martha staggered and sat on the ground, and the scimitar in his hand also flew to the side.
Tan Zicong pressed step by step, and came to Martha with a stride, his left foot was the axis, and his right leg swept, hitting Martha's chest, he shot ruthlessly and decisively, and did not show mercy because Martha was a woman, Martha was kicked by him and rolled out on the spot. When Desiri saw her daughter being beaten, she let out a heart-wrenching roar.
A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Tan Zicong's lips, and the idea of using his mantis arm as a car couldn't help but appear in his mind.
Just when Tan Zicong was about to use Martha as a hostage to blackmail Desire, a light and shadow shot out from the dust, Tan Zicong's heart was shocked, he was still negligent after all, and he didn't expect that there was an ambush in addition to Martha.
Luo Lie was hiding in the trench, and if he was alone, he would certainly not be afraid of any of them, but now he was alone, and he needed to face more than 200 heavily armed desert bandits.
Timing was particularly important to Luo Lie, so he didn't stop Martha from appearing, and after Martha was hit twice by Tan Zicong, he made a move, and the flying knife shot at Tan Zicong's right arm. Tan Zicong is Luo Lie's most important card, only by controlling the other side can he have a chance to turn the situation around, so he can't hurt his life, Luo Lie has calculated all the possibilities before making a move, and choosing Tan Zicong's right arm to shoot is to take the lead in abolishing his right hand so that he can't pull out the gun.
After the flying knife was shot, Luo Lie broke out of the trench, like a sturdy cheetah, and the angle he chose was just right to use Tan Zicong's body to block the attacks of other bandits.
At the moment of lightning, Tan Zicong's right arm had been shot by a flying knife, and it was quite deep into the flesh, his first reaction was to pull out the gun, but the pain in his right arm slowed down his movements significantly, and the bleeding right hand had just touched the holster, Luo Lie had already deceived him, and the tip of the flying knife in his hand was against Tan Zicong's right common carotid artery, and said softly: "I think we should have a good talk." β
Things happened in such a hurry that Tan Zicong's subordinates failed to react in time, and when they figured out what was going on, Tan Zicong had already fallen into the hands of Luo Lie, and hurriedly aimed their guns at Luo Hunt one by one.
