To throw sand target an enemy with
then press and hold

) Ezio will crouch down and gather sand in a sweeping motion, once complete release Square to throw the sand.
This can be quite hard to get enough enemies hit with your sand so you'll want to get a big group of guards on you before trying, for example get one group on you and block (

You can throw sand as many times as you need without running out or hurting guards so if you don't get 4 on your first attempt just keep trying. If you need to you could throw down a smoke bomb to avoid the guards hitting you.Heres a video by PowerPyx
