Chapter 595: Falling short

What kind of voice is that, lonely, arrogant, with a kind of awe-inspiring royal might, like a king coming.

This can no longer be called a howl, but a roar of kings!

With this howl, the incessant howl of wolves followed. From all directions, from the mountains and forests, overwhelming the earth, and like the water of a great river, endless, like a turbid wave raging into the sky.

The sound was far away at first, but in a matter of moments, it was already close at hand.

The whole camp seemed to be silent suddenly, but in an instant, it exploded with a bang. In several camps, large and small, like a collapsed ant's nest, countless people poured out of Hulala.

These people were all panicked and disheveled. There are even people who are only wearing underwear, bare-haired thighs, and are barefoot, as if they have forgotten even the cold.

Whoa, whoop, whoop—

Short muskets rang out sporadically, and puffs of smoke rose from the smoke. These are the panicked people, shooting blindly.

Two big men with beards ran out of the Chinese army camp, each holding a short hammer, waving and shouting loudly.

From the voice, it can be heard that these are the two people who were in the tent of the Chinese army: Count Thorn Flower and Ilievsky.

It's just that the words shouted by the two of them at this time were not the language of the two of them chatting in private before, but a language with a strange tone, which Alur couldn't understand. However, it can be inferred from the gestures and inferences in it to understand the meaning in general.

But after understanding, he can't care about distinguishing at this time. This cold fuss, he may not want to sneak away again. Especially the position he was in now, out of tune, as conspicuous as a firefly in the night, he wanted to hide.

In the initial chaos, even if someone saw him, they didn't care about him. But at this moment, when Count Thornflower and Ilievsky arrived, they immediately saw him.

"Hey, boy, you, yes, that's you! Don't move, put your hands up, slowly, above your head, yes, good boy, that's it. Now, tell me, who are you, and how did you end up in my barracks?" asked Ilyevsky, who spoke first, gesturing a few soldiers to surround Arul.

On the other side, the Earl of Thorn Flower shouted loudly to the gathered soldiers, and sent them to various commanding heights and dangerous places to guard. After the order was finished, he turned his head and shouted at Ilyevsky: "Erie, hurry up and ask to understand, I'm afraid we have little time." ”

Ilievsky replied with a loud voice, and Count Thornflower glanced at Arul and hurried away. It's just a lonely Tatar, and it's not worth his distraction. Outside was suddenly surrounded by a large pack of wolves, but none of the people sent out came back, which made him feel an ominous haze in his heart.

That's two hundred people. None of the 200 people replied, and they didn't even have time to return a letter, which shows how terrible and terrible the wolves outside are.

You know, the purpose of the two hundred people sent out was to deal with this pack of wolves. They were well-armed and well-armed, and the fact that he didn't hear even a single shot was terrifying.

Without those 200 men, there were less than 100 soldiers left in the battalion, and they were in a hurry. It may be possible to use the facilities of the large camp to defend for a while, but it is not enough to repel these wolves. For now, I can only hold on for a while, and then take advantage of this precious time to arrange the retreat.

Count Thorn Flower went, and here Ilyevsky's muzzle had been raised and aimed at Arul, with a look of impatience on his face.

Arul only felt that his heart seemed to be pinched, and when his face changed greatly, his mind was spinning rapidly, in order to deal with the next life and death situation.

"General, this general, please don't kill me, I'm just a herdsman, a lost herdsman. Yes, I got lost, then fainted, and then I was rescued by you again. That's it, I'm not a spy. He screamed, trying to speak clearly, and slowly turned his body to make it clear that there was nothing dangerous about him.

"Oh, you're the lucky boy we picked up?" Illyevsky visibly relaxed as he heard Arul's discernment, and asked as he turned his head to look at the guard.

The guard cautiously looked closer, then turned to Ilyevsky and nodded, indicating that it was correct.

Ilyevsky, as the two supreme commanders of this camp, of course, knew about the existence of Arur. However, because of the previous incident, Arul was in a coma at the time, so he did not have time to interrogate him, which is why he was not recognized.

At this time, seeing that the guards confirmed Alur's identity, he really relaxed, and lowered the muzzle of the gun in his hand, Arul breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only to feel a cold feeling on his back, but it was just now, and he was already sweating profusely.

However, just when both sides were slackening, suddenly Ilyevsky's face changed suddenly, Huo Ran raised his gun at Alul again, and shouted: "No! You are lying!"

Everyone was startled, and the few guards who were about to step forward also stopped abruptly and raised their guns to aim in a panic.

Alur almost didn't fall down on the spot, he cursed secretly in his heart, but he cried and shouted with a sad face: "General, general, what's wrong, I didn't lie, I really didn't." ”

Cold sweat broke out on Ilyevsky's forehead, and he stared at him with a sneer: "Dirty barbarian, you don't want to deceive me! You say you are a herdsman, but there are inhabited places within a hundred miles of this area, what herdsman would graze here? Lost, hum, can you get lost for a hundred miles? Also, you can understand what I just told the guards, which is the language of our Eastern Slavs, and it is a term peculiar to the army. How can you, an ordinary herdsman, understand?"

Arul's face changed slightly, he suddenly realized, just now, when Ilievsky relaxed, and then said "close the team for a while", he also showed a relieved look. I didn't expect this Ilyevsky to be so sharp and catch the flaw in this tiny detail.

However, this can also be explained as a knee-jerk reaction from the other party's demeanor and movements. As for the confusion of ordinary herdsmen who are lost, they can take out those black-robed people to the pot. only said that they robbed all the cattle and sheep, and ran here in a panic when they ran for their lives. This is also in line with the fact that he was saved by them.

This explanation, seven points true and three points false, and a mysterious black-robed person popped up, presumably at this critical juncture, these Rakshasa people should be more concerned about the variables inside, and will no longer pay attention to a small person like themselves.

Sure enough, when Ilyevsky listened to his explanation, his face was thoughtful, and his demeanor softened slightly.

Just as Arul quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Ilyevsky frowned slightly, and said coldly: "It's still not right, even if what you say is true, then can you explain why you are standing in this place now? Hmph, you want to steal food and horses from here." ”

Alur was shocked in his heart, and he was anxious, and quickly nodded without hesitation: "Yes, as wise as you, my actions can't escape your eyes." I did want to get some food and water, you know, I fainted, I was hungry and scared. I don't know where this is, what kind of people and dangers I will face. I just want to go home, I just want to run back to my tribe. There's nothing wrong with that, isn't it?, general, you are obviously in great danger here right now, I beg you, have mercy, let me go, I'm just an ordinary person, I can't help you anything, and I won't pose any threat to you, please. ”

He pleaded bitterly, trying to imitate the other man's words and sentences. Fortunately, Mongolia is located at the intersection of Europe and Asia, and there have been some merchants from the Western Regions in the past, which has taught him some. At this time, it looks like it's taken out.

Illevsky's eyes flashed with hesitation, could he really have misjudged? This is really an ordinary herdsman? But why did he always feel that something was wrong?

However, he also has some truth in what he said, there is really no time to verify it at the moment, no matter who the other party is, after all, there is only one person, and he is unarmed, it should not be possible to cause any harm to his side.

And those black-robed people, what is the origin of them? From his words, you can hear that these people are extremely mysterious and seem to be extremely powerful. So, will those terrifying and terrifying mutant wolves that suddenly appear outside have anything to do with those black-robed people?

If you waste time here asking this and that, you might as well hurry up and prepare to retreat. Don't be too late to put yourself in a crisis first.

Thinking of this, he was about to say yes, when a sudden spiritual light flashed through his heart, and he instantly tensed up again.

This person is right, and there is no flaw in his expression. But it is precisely this lack of flaws that is the biggest flaw! This so-called ordinary herdsman is really too calm. And how did he find the supply in the barracks so clearly? It would have been impossible to know unless someone had been in the barracks.

Well, even if you have heard that the Tatars are all soldiers, almost every man in the prime of life has participated in various wars and should have had the experience of being in the barracks. However, this is the Rus camp, which is quite different from the Mongolian military camp. If you can find a supply camp clearly and accurately from these two military camps, where is this an ordinary herdsman?

You must know that ordinary herdsmen in Mongolia, even if they participated in some battle formations, most of them were only on the periphery, or even only followed the army to transport supplies and drive cattle and sheep. Only those truly elite warriors will be integrated into the official army to serve, and will also have the ability to distinguish the different characteristics and distribution of each camp in the barracks.

The person in front of him was by no means what he said, just an ordinary herdsman. At the very least, he must have been an elite Tatar soldier.

So, here's the problem. If he was a soldier, why did he try his best to say that he was an ordinary herdsman? How could he, a soldier, go out alone to graze cattle and then be taken away by the so-called black-robed man? How did he escape intact from the hands of those black-robed men who were so powerful and mysterious, and finally be rescued by his own people?

Lies, all lies! He must have hidden something! This damned, cunning Tatar, how dare he fool me like this, and I was almost deceived by him. If this is transmitted back to Moscow, won't it be laughed to death by those guys?

However, this is not the time to verify. I won't alarm him, and I'll come back to concoct him when I'm done with this matter and when I'm in a safe place. I want him to understand what an unforgivable thing it is to dare to mock a noble nobleman!

"Take him with you and watch him carefully. Ilyevsky figured out his suspicions, but said no more to Aruldo, just gave him a cold look, turned to a few guards, and then turned away.

Arur's heart sank. Although he didn't know that he had been recognized, he felt something wrong from the other party's demeanor. Moreover, the other party refuses to let him go, he is unarmed, and there is no horse to walk, so how to escape?

If you can't escape by yourself, you can't send the news back. There was no way to remind the Great Khan to be careful of that Sumer. This, how is this good? Hopefully, hopefully, that Su Mo hasn't reached the royal court yet. May the heavens bless me and bless me if Mongolia can escape this catastrophe......

Arur followed the guards in despair, looked back at the distant sky one last time, and prayed silently in his heart.
