Section 31 Smoke Billowing 1
readx;
The Senge Plain is particularly beautiful, the brilliant clouds are shining in the reflection of the sun, the waves of wheat that have turned slightly yellow are undulating with the breeze, and the fields are sometimes accompanied by cattle herds, and the threat of war does not seem to have had much impact on the countryside, at least in the Kashhar countryside on the eastern border, there is still a peaceful scene, and a good harvest is in sight.

I heard that there have been Tik troops in the market town, probably because it is too remote and too small, no one has come to ask, at least Rhodes thinks so, life has not changed much, stuffed the tobacco in the cigarette pouch into the cigarette holder, took a beautiful puff, two puffs of green smoke sprayed out of the nostrils, this feeling is really good. The wheat was about to ripen, and he didn't know what would happen to the Tiks when they came, and whether the field endowment would increase? How much more labor would be? Rhodes untied the turban on his head and wiped the sweat stains from his neck, the weather was really a little hot.
The faint sound of gloomy thunder came faintly from the eastern sky, and Rhodes turned his head to look east with some confusion, what was going on? How could there be thunder in April and May? Even if the rainy season was advanced, it would not be possible to advance so much time, right? The sky is still bright, it doesn't look like it's going to rain, everything seems to be calm again, as if nothing has happened, I am probably really old, my ears are useless, just sit here and there will be strange sounds in my ears, Rod shook his head a little lost, knocked the cigarette pouch on the stone under his buttocks, and the sparks splashed out and fell to the ground.
A little annoyed patted his head, why was there a buzzing sound again, Rod turned his head angrily, but suddenly froze, there seemed to be a ripple line on the horizon in the distance, just like a ripple on the vast water surface, a slight fluctuation, it seems that the bursts of yin thunder are transmitted from the intersection of heaven and earth in the east, what is that? Rod stood up and narrowed his eyes, trying to see clearly what the overlapping ripple lines were.
The faint sound of yin thunder became clearer and clearer, gradually changing into a somewhat chaotic muffled sound, and the ripples that swept from the sky gradually transformed into countless small dots, and then cleared more and more. Rhodes, like many of his neighbors who had heard the sound from his home, finally saw and heard clearly. It was a cavalry soldier in armor and a helmet, the metal blades on his chest and the long knife in his hand shining dazzlingly in the setting sun, and the muffled sound was not thunder at all, but the roar of countless horses' hooves trampling on the black earth.
Could it be the Tiks? Rhodes and his neighbors looked at each other with some fear, what were they going to do? Could it be that they had come to rob their homes? But there seemed to be nothing worth looking at in their village, and the only rich man, Mr. Olaf, lived in the city a hundred miles away, and he rarely came here once a year, except for the harvest season.
The faces of the galloping cavalry were reflected in Rod's face one after another, except for the few people in front who looked like his compatriots from the way they were dressed, and the heavily armed soldiers did not look like people living on the Senge Plain in any way, but had some resemblance to the Tang merchants who were wandering around. Could it be that these people are Tang River people?
Rod stared at the scene in front of him with some panic. It's a pity that no one paid attention to the psychological feelings of this Hyderabad farmer, like a hurricane, almost the entire space was filled with a loud noise brought by the whizzing horse team, except for the endless neighing of horses, only one or two words that Rod could not understand. A large field seemed to be swept by locusts, leaving only bare and trampled wheat straw, at this moment, Rhodes and the neighbors in the village reacted, there were other cares, panicked and hid in their respective homes, fortunately, the unknown number of troops swept through but did not affect the villagers in the village, which made the villagers who had been hiding in the bed shivering finally spent a sleepless night.
"Udail, where have you gone, and what about the scouts you sent out, why haven't you come back yet?" swore as he walked out of the camp, and an officer in loose armor yelled with a swollen belly and a belt at the top of his voice.
"Captain Wan, we shouldn't be on duty today, we should be on duty with the 20,000 people. Running out of a tent in the distance with his pants strained, a sleepy-eyed officer picked up with some displeasure. Damn, when has this been, I know that I am happy, and I don't care if the people below me live or die? I finally got a woman, and I just teased Xing'er but was swept away, isn't this deliberately embarrassing myself? Who called someone a captain and a commander himself?
"Udaer, I'm asking what about the scout team you sent yesterday? Why haven't you come back for two days? Even if you go out to work, you should bring a letter back, right?" Staring at his subordinates' faces viciously, the fat officer rebuked unceremoniously: "Look at your virtue, you can't take a step when you see a woman, and you have forgotten your business, you still don't want to be worthy of you, a thousand-commander? Tell you, delay a big thing, be careful of your head! If you don't look for me, what's going on?"
"My lord, what else can happen to this Kashhar? The Hyderabad and the Solian are still cowering in Benga, and there is no one in the whole Kashhar who dares to resist, so what are you worried about? This Keshhar has not heard of a mob disturbance. My lord, yesterday the brothers went out to catch a few women and came back, and there were two fresh goods that had not yet budded, and they were only fifteen years old.
Glancing at his deputy with some disdain, Udale scolded in his heart, she didn't have any skills, so she knew that she was bullying, but her boss liked this way, and scolded indignantly from the bottom of his heart, but on the surface, he had to nod and hunch.
"Oh, fresh goods?" the fat officer's silver gaze quickly turned to the tent where the thin man came out, "There are still fresh goods in your hands?"
"Hehe, where is the adult? No matter what, I have to keep the good things for you, Lord Udair, don't you say?" The flattering man glanced at the not very good-looking Udale and said to the fat officer proudly.
The fat officer, whose face was much better, smiled evilly, and was about to answer, when suddenly a terrible scream came from the silent night sky in the distance, and it was very panicked.
The fat officer's face changed, he shuddered, looked around but found nothing, and then pricked up his ears to listen carefully, but there was no sound, and he glanced at the two subordinates who were trying to listen suspiciously, and asked anxiously: "What is this sound? Why does it seem to be the screams of people?"
The flattering man's heart also trembled, and he looked at the commander who was looking around in disbelief, "Lord Udail, your lord is asking you." ”
"Shut up!" Udale yelled viciously, "Go and order the whole team to assemble, there is a problem, hurry!"
"Udaer, what's going on?" the fat officer was even more anxious when he saw that the other party was so tough, "What's going on?"
"My lord, I can't tell yet, I have to get my people to assemble first, I suggest you have all of us assembled, just in case, I think something is not quite right, why is there only one and then there is no sound? It seems to be the cry of someone when he was assassinated, I seem to have heard this sound somewhere. He didn't dare to be too presumptuous to his boss Udaer, and patiently explained.
The flattering man on the side was about to refute, but he heard a sharp horn whistle sounding one after another, and the three of them were like lightning strikes, and the fat officer was even more panicked, and grabbed the corners of his subordinates' clothes again and again, like a child holding his parents, and begged for help: "Udaer, what happened? How can this be?"
At this time, Udale couldn't care a lot, although he didn't know where the enemy attack came from, but he was sure of one thing, that is, the enemy was definitely not an armed mob or those vulnerable local troops in Hyderabad who were the first to encounter, and dared to choose this time to raid a battalion with three elite regular 10,000 people, and the other party must have made up his mind to annihilate his side in one fell swoop. While roaring and scolding his soldiers to quickly assemble the whole team, he secretly lucked that his unit was in the middle of the camp. It sounded in the three directions in the south, just silently listening to the sound of horses' hooves, Udaer judged that things were no longer possible, such a large-scale cavalry attack coupled with such a strict concealment method, except for the Tanghe people or the Luope people, no one in this area could do it, and the people of the Western Regions could not do it, and Udaer did not hesitate to exclude the Luope people, then the result could only be the Tanghe people.
The endless tents quickly burned, and soon formed a sea of fire, the knocked down lamp oil became the best ignition material, jumping over the fence that pushed the dao, a galloping horse with bursts of cold sword light galloped through the barracks, the Tik soldiers who had just woken up from their sleep had no idea where they were, surrounded by heavily armed enemy cavalry, the swords swept through the air with a terrible scream, the dull sound was the passion of the blade piercing the body or slashing the bone, everything rolled up in the chaos and confusion。
