Chapter 127: Unreasonable Demands
"General Alatan, please sit down and quench your thirst with a cup of tea. www.biquge.infoInside the room, Bauta said respectfully to a Turkic officer.
"Don't sit down, we are busy, and we have to rush back to the business immediately after completing the task, I hope that Bauta will not embarrass our brothers, and hurry up to prepare all the food." Alatan said without glancing at Bauta.
"Well, General Alatan, wasn't it until September in previous years that it was the season to make offerings? It's only March now, and there's still half a year to go. Bauta replied respectfully.
"This is the order of our Termu Khan, if you have any objections, go to him yourself. Alatan said impatiently.
"This is mainly due to the fact that we just handed over a batch of grain last year, and now we don't have much surplus food, and we can't make up the amount you need. Bauta said with a look of embarrassment.
"If you can't hand it over, you have to pay it, so let's say that I don't give you face, I'll give you three days to raise food, and I'll come to collect food after three days, if you still refuse to hand it in when the time comes, don't blame me for being unkind." Walk. With that, Alatan marched away with a dozen of his men.
At the door, several Turkic soldiers passed by with a pot, and a few people who had clashed with him just now cast a cold look at the pot.
Drinking a pot and turning a blind eye, he hurried into the house to ask for details.
"Father, they deceive people too much, they only have three days, how can we get so much food!"
When I walked inside, I had a pot and heard Batu complaining.
"If you can't help it, you have to figure out a way, Batu, if you don't rely on them, this war will burn here again. This is our homeland, and the people here can no longer endure this kind of suffering, absolutely not. Bauta lamented.
After thinking for a while, Bauta instructed Batu to gather the people of the city and announce the important matter in the central square in the evening.
In the evening, the central square of the small town was brightly lit, and Bauta slowly walked to the middle stage and told everyone about the intention of the Turkic soldiers today.
"Bauta, we can't hand over so much food, it's just a strong man's difficulty. ”
"Yes, not only did they drink alcohol and didn't pay us in the afternoon, but they also insulted us and didn't treat us as human beings at all. ”
"Since we don't respect us, we don't have to look at their faces, and if they dare to come in three days, we'll blow them away. ”
"yes, blow them away and let them know that we're not easy to bully. ”
Everyone, you and I will talk about it sentence by sentence.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Suddenly, Bauta turned up the volume to silence everyone.
"You all know why we came here and made our home here? Isn't it precisely to escape the war and pray for the rest of our lives to be spent in peace? But this time, if we provoke this group of people with a moment of heroism, what will the consequences be? Who of you has ever thought that they are the most elite serpent riders of the Turks, and it is a no-brainer to set foot on our small city. Bauta said quietly.
"It's not that I, Bauta, am afraid of death, but I'm afraid that we don't deserve to die! I'm afraid that we will be sorry for our dead relatives!" Bauta became more and more excited.
Everyone in the audience listened silently to Bauta's words.
"I still hope that everyone can cherish this hard-won life, and endure it for a while, so we can exchange it for peace in the future, why don't we do it?" Bauta continued.
"I, Bauta, will take out all the food stored in my family this time as an offering, and I also hope that everyone will give more and less to contribute to our small city. I would like to thank you all. With that, Bauta knelt down to thank everyone, but was pulled by the crowd.
"Bauta, you are our hero, if it weren't for you, we would have died in the war, whatever you say, we will listen to you. ”
"Yes, Bauta, instead of carrying all the burdens on your own, we can also share our worries and donate, and all the surplus food for our family will be donated. ”
"And I, too, donate it all. ”
"And me. ”
"Me. ”
"Me. ”
......
Everyone raised their hands to express their willingness to donate food, and they all gave it without reservation.
Bauta looked at everyone's appearance, tears welled up in her eyes, for the sake of this group of life and death partners, even if I am doomed, I will not complain!
Finally, three days later, three carts had been prepared at the city gate, and the carts were stacked with large and small bags, which were filled with the grain that the people of the city had worked so hard to accumulate.
The Turkic soldier was satisfied with the bags of food, and after a moment, he smiled at Bauta and wanted to push the cart away.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Alatan saw a beautiful woman standing next to him, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and picked it up, laughing and said, "Bauta, this woman should be regarded as a gift, and I will talk to the Great Khan when I go back, and let him come to collect food later next time, hahahaha." ”
The woman's father hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Alatan to ask him to put down his daughter, but Alatan kicked him in the stomach and lay on the ground vomiting stomach water.
Seeing this, Batu shouted loudly, pulled out his dagger and rushed towards Alatan.
When Alatan's subordinates saw it, they drew their long knives to block Batu, although this Batu was brave, but his martial arts were not high, and after a few moves, he was knocked to the ground by the Turkic soldiers, and his hands were already hung with colors.
By this time, the residents on the side had also caused a commotion, and went home to pick up hoes and rushed at the Turkic soldiers.
There was chaos at the scene, and the Turkic soldiers drew their swords and fought with the angry residents.
How could ordinary people without any training be the opponent of well-trained Turkic soldiers, and after a few moments, most of the civilians had fallen to the ground wounded, and the Turkic soldiers raised their swords to kill people on a whim.
At this moment, the Turkic soldier who was about to kill only felt a gust of wind blowing, and then his hand was weak, and the blade had been removed, and then he had been kicked to the ground with a pain in his abdomen.
Seeing this, the other two soldiers raised their knives and slashed at the pot.
Drinking a pot and a roundabout step, he easily dodged the attack of the two, came out with both hands, grabbed the handle of the knife, and with a slight effort, he was thrown behind him with a knife, and fell to the ground.
The soldier, who had been humiliated by a pot of alcohol before, took his longbow and shot an arrow while he was distracted by a pot of distraction and a few other people in the field.
Drink a pot of ears to move slightly, identify the direction of the feather arrow, jump into the air with both feet clamping the arrow body for an instant, turn the arrow and fly against the soldier, frightened the soldier hurriedly retreated, just when the bow and arrow were about to shoot into the eye, a thick arm stretched out and grabbed the feather arrow.
Alatan snapped the feathered arrow and stared coldly at the pot.
Drinking a pot and landing in style, he met Alatan's gaze, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Stand down, this man is not something you can handle. Looking at the pot, Alatan ordered the soldiers around him to retreat, and he drew his long knife to meet him.
Alatan has a higher official rank, and he sees that he walks steadily, his breath is balanced, and he knows that his kung fu is not weak at a glance, coupled with his firm and decisive judgment after many years of military career, so he is a resolute knife at the beginning, without reservation, regardless of flaws.
As long as you die before me, I'll win, so why do I care about so much defense. This has been Alatan's fighting philosophy since childhood, and this moment is no exception. No one has ever been able to steal a life under my hands!, Alatan sneered inwardly.
However, drinking a pot is not an ordinary person.
A figure flickered, and before Alatan could see it clearly, he felt a huge force coming from the knife, almost shaking the long knife out of his hand.
At this time, the pot was already standing beside him, and Alatan looked at him in surprise, and before he could come to his senses, the pot disappeared again.
I only felt a cold wind on my back at the same moment, and then my body was knocked out.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Alatan finally felt the horror, the gap between himself and a pot was too big.
The rest of the Turkic soldiers were already stupid in place, they never expected that Alatan, who was so powerful in the army, would be hit so easily by this young man, presumably only the great general could restrain him, but at this time he was not here, it seemed that he was going to be buried here today.
So when they heard the word "roll" from a pot, they couldn't believe their ears at all, defeat on the battlefield meant death, but today the man actually chose to let himself go.
Alatan got up and helped each other with the soldiers and hurriedly ran out of the town, and said resentfully in his heart: Kindness to the enemy means cruelty to yourself, I want you to return what you lost today, you wait for me. (To be continued.) )
