C3546 sand spring (1/2)
After Xu Zhanbiao took over the Stellar Gorge, the three thousand riders split into three and started pouncing towards the region of the Hami in Xinjiang!
The North Road directly pounced on Chen Cheng and harassed the area east of Yi Wu. The Middle Road attacked the natural piers and grid piers and stalls and the Hami Road, while the South Road rounded the Sha Quan and Ku Shui Pond to find a fighter jet to cooperate with the Middle Road in attacking the main enemy's flank.
In the Stellar Gorge's night of war, Xu Zhanbiao's army had sent out a total of more than two thousand men, with four thousand more coming from the back. Right now, the three thousand riders that he had personally ordered were all elites that had battled with him for many years.
In these few years, they had also gotten used to the war style of the bitter cold lands of the northwest, appearing and disappearing in the desert like a group of desert bandits.
Before dawn, the western part of Stellar Gorge was already in a complete mess. The small towns that lived near the well were suddenly awakened by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves. The herdsmen wearing tattered sheepskin rubbed their eyes and were immediately dumbfounded.
”Qing Jun! The Qing Army is coming... Stellar Gorge is down... ”
”I said I heard thunder last night, and you didn't believe me... It's not thunder at all, it's war! How could Stellar Gorge lose him in one night? ”
Dang Dang Dang … The alarm bell rang out, but before it could ring twice, the sounds of gunfire could be heard. The rebel soldiers were shot in the back and fell into a pool of blood.
Sand Springs was the first town west of Stellar Gorge that had a resident entrance. It surrounded a desert spring and guarded the ancient silk road.
As this place was very close to the Stellar Gorge, and there weren't many soldiers here, the rebel army had left a total of more than thirty Bandit s. However, these Bandit's forces forced all the men in the town to become soldiers.
However, there were only two hundred soldiers!
The attacking Shu Army had a sandproof scarf wrapped around her face and her eyes were filled with disdain. If those children who were around fifteen to sixteen years old and holding a pitchfork were even considered soldiers, then this battle would be meaningless.
”Kneel …” Down... ”All those who are commoners, get down …” The translator shouted in Viennese.
Before the children could react, Spencer fired seven consecutive shots. The bullet flew past the child's head, and the Bandit that Yaqub was guarding was shot in the chest and sent flying!
Spencer... The American Civil War gun was a product that had been eliminated by the Chinese. However, it was still very good for a cavalry weapon.
Short range and poor accuracy were his shortcomings, but the most important part was the high reliability of his seven consecutive shots. The attribute of his consecutive shots was practically a godly skill to the cavalry!
How could those rebel soldiers with rifles in front of them be a match for this group of God Slayer? In the morning light, a dense crowd of black cavalry surged over like a tide, circling around Sand Springs Town.
The whole scene, if changed into costumes and a background, could be viewed as a western movie, with the cowboy with Spencer shooting down any rebel army who dared to resist like a rabbit.
In fact, it was very easy to differentiate between rebel Bandit and real citizens. One just had to look at the weapons, no matter how old the models were, those who could take out the guns would already be considered as Yaqub's main force.
Those who were left with their cutlasses and bows could be selected. As for those who were still holding onto their pitchforks and sticks, their eyes were filled with fear and their legs were trembling, so they shouldn't be killed. They were all forced to do so by the citizens.
”Surrender and don't kill …” Get down... Stellar Gorge has already been lost, and is now Great Qing's territory … ”
”Whoever dares to resist killing without mercy … ”Everyone, get down …”
Under the furious rebuke of the translator, more and more citizens were carried away and laid on the sandy ground. A few Bandit who had their last struggles of resistance were also shot and injured. The leading collar sneered and said, ”Drag him to death …”
The rope was tied to the Bandit's ankle as the healthy horse dragged the injured rebel army around the desert.
At the beginning, the Bandit were cursing, but not long after, they stopped moving. The sand had sucked up all the blood, and even the friction produced some ghastly white bones!
Such a cruel method caused the citizens of Sand Spring Town to tremble in fear. One by one, they buried their heads in the sand and prayed non-stop.
The first 16 year old to surrender lay prostrate on the sand. Suddenly, a pair of earthen yellow leather boots appeared in his line of sight, followed by a strong fragrance that stimulated his nose.
