Chapter 434: The Village Ambush
In the village of Mirheda, on the right bank of the Sutlej River, the land is covered by a quiet night sky. The sound of insects chirping in the fields is also like vocal music.
Due to the lack of recreational activities, the villagers have all rested. The whole village was also dark, and from time to time, a few barking cats and dogs could be heard.
But it didn't take long for the barking of dogs in the village to burst into action. A long fire dragon also appeared on the other side of the river.
Some villagers who slept lightly and were more vigilant were awakened one after another.
After all, on weekdays, the village of Mirghada is not peaceful. Often, the natives of the jungle and the nearby tribes looted the village of Mirgada, coveting the riches of the village. So the villagers built a fence and kept a large number of wolf dogs.
Fortunately, when the natives and tribesmen sneak attack, they can give early warning in time.
The villagers who were awakened at the moment didn't even bother to put on their clothes. He picked up his family's long knives, steel forks, wooden sticks and other sharp weapons, and rushed to the village wall to defend it.
Soon, the long queue on the other side of the river came to the outskirts of the village.
On closer inspection, there are soldiers in armor.
Knowing how powerful they were to be soldiers, the villagers didn't dare to resist. The well-known village chief of the village was sent to negotiate with gold, silver, food, and a few good-looking women.
"This military master. This is a little bit of our village's heart, please smile! The village chief was brought to Abrajiang and pleaded with some flattery. Because of the boundaries of Punjab, Islam is strong. Therefore, no one in general dares to disadvantage religious imams unless absolutely necessary.
It was precisely knowing this that the village chief dared to lead people out. Otherwise, when he encounters a group of natives in the jungle, he will never 'risk his life'.
"Hmmm! You tell the villagers. The village cathar had to borrow it for a few days, so that the villagers could go about their business as usual and not panic. Abrajiang responded coldly, without the slightest negotiating tone.
"Ahh Are you heretics from the north?! Perhaps sensing that there was something wrong with his words, the village chief quickly wiped a cold sweat and changed his words: "No-no-no--I mean--".
Abrajan didn't bother to listen to his explanation, so he said directly: "Quickly open the village gate." This place is the border of the kingdom of Khorasan, don't you want to be a stubborn mob, do you? ”。 As he spoke, he drew the long knife at his waist. The bright cold light instantly shone into the heart of the village chief.
"I'm going to order the village gate to be opened! This opens! The village chief was frightened and hurriedly responded. He also didn't care if the cathars would be bad for the villagers after opening the village gate. Because no matter what, the villagers, who use wooden sticks as weapons, will not be able to defeat the well-armed cathars.
Then Abrajiang led more than 1,000 soldiers into the village. At the same time, the troops in the rear were ordered to rush to this place as soon as possible.
It was also their mission this time, which was to stop the reinforcements sent by Delhi. It's just that along the way, the terrain is mostly flat and flat. There are occasional towering mountains, which are also not high in elevation. Therefore, the camp led by Abrajiang has not been able to find a suitable ambush site.
It wasn't until they came to the border of the village of Mirghada that the sentinels in front detected the traces of reinforcements from Delhi. Abrajan decided to set up an ambush in the village of Mirheda in order to take reinforcements by surprise.
In later generations, this was the city of Ludhiana, India. On the borders of the Indian state of Punjab, it is the largest city. But today, due to the level of social development, it is far from the scale of later generations.
However, because it is located on the main road between Rahuol and Delhi, the village of Mirhda has made a lot of profits by taking advantage of the convenience of commerce. The number of people settling here is also increasing day by day. There were not only Rajputs, but also quite a few Gur. There are also Sichen, Saqi and Grewo people who migrated from the northern Jegwang jungle.
Strictly speaking, they are the real Punjabi. However, in the face of the demographically dominant Rajputs and the dominant Gur, these natives were mostly slaves for human drive.
But now, the noblest Gur people in the village also have to grovel before the cathars.
After a day, the sun was already sinking in the sky. The reddened fiery clouds also stained half of the sky red, with a beauty that bordered on destruction.
An army of nearly 10,000 men, somewhat listless, marched from the east. It's also daytime, and the sun is too poisonous. Coupled with the scorching summer, the soldiers of this army are a little unbearable. So when they saw the village of Mirheda in front of them, all the soldiers cheered.
Salman Khan is the commander of this army! He was neither a Rajput nor a Gur. But a Kipchak slave bought by Gulsultan from the Kipchak steppe a long time ago! In terms of origin, it is the same as that of the Delhi Sultan.
It's just that he bought it later than the Delhi Sultan, so all along, he listened to orders under the Delhi Sultan's account. Later, the land of North India became a state under the rule of the Delhi Sultan, and his position rose with it.
Now he is the commander of the Guards under the name of the Delhi Sultan, and he is fortunate to be well-pampered.
Originally, he wanted to go one step further and marry the favorite princess of the Delhi Sultan. But seeing that the water was coming to pass, Egnazi suddenly intervened. As a result, his good deeds were also in vain.
Therefore, he was unwilling to help Xinde this time.
Unfortunately, the Sultan could not resist the princess's pleas and appointed him. Who called him the commander of the Guards, in charge of the most elite army in Delhi?
But the trip on the road is simply too uncomfortable. The princess was concerned about her husband and was always urging in his ear. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he had to lead a part of the army first. In the name of pathfinding, go to Rahuoer first.
Now, his world is finally pure.
At this moment, looking at the village of Mirheda, which is not far away, he thought in his heart that after a full meal of wine and food, he would find a few women to serve him. I also want to reward myself for the hard march of the past few days.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but get excited in his heart. Then he shouted, "You slackers! If you don't hurry up, the women in the village will be robbed by others! ”。
"Hahaha... The emir is wise and powerful! Wise and powerful! The soldiers below listened and cheered highly.
The march of this era was like banditry, not only in the Central Plains. It's the same everywhere else. Like Da Liao, there are inevitably scourges on the way to the army. The Delhi Sultanate, in the mantle of the Gur State, is not exempt from vulgarity.
Before the princess accompanied her, she had always asked Salman Khan to restrain the army. Because of the status of the princess, Salman Khan did not dare to disobey the yin. Now that there is no princess constraint, it is natural to enjoy it.
The soldiers below were also suffocated, shouting and rushing to the village of Mirheda in front.
When they came to the outside of the village, the village chief once again took the gift out of the village to negotiate.
"Quickly prepare the delicious food and drink, and the women, and wash them all for us. If you delay our children's fun, be careful and burn your village. A cronie of Salman Khan said with a proud expression, causing the village chief to nod his head again and again.
However, what no one noticed was that there was a slight fierceness in the village chief's eyes.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, the village chief said with some embarrassment: "You have also seen that our village is like this." If all the military masters entered the village, the villagers who had not seen it would have to panic for a while. So why don't you wait for a while, I'll go and make arrangements, and the soldiers will separate and enter the village a few more times.
In this way, you can be served well, and the villagers will not disturb the good deeds of the military masters. ”。
