Oru Village is a very ordinary village in Bulgar. Villages like this are everywhere in Bulgar and are inconspicuous.
The establishment of the village can be traced back to when the Bulgars first came to this land. It existed at that time, and then it experienced countless years here and witnessed countless historical events.
There is nothing special here but not much production. The main product is grain. Every harvest season, businessmen will come to buy and bring them to Bulgar City. Due to the better quality, the grain here has gained some reputation over time.
Originally, if this had continued like this, life in this village would have continued unchanged, but politics changed everything.
After Akade usurped the throne, the owners of the local village showed great disapproval of this man who usurped the throne and killed his relatives.
This also led to a fatal disaster. Akade's army came with blood and fire and destroyed the village.
However, not many people in the village were killed, because most of them left here when the massacre came, but since then they have abandoned this place and changed to live in the nearby forest.
Because they know that they are unwelcome under the current ruling order, they naturally have to hide. And while hiding, they are extremely eager for the day when that bastard Akade falls.
So when the people of Akade arrived at the village, they suddenly found that it was an abandoned village. They searched the whole village but could not find a single living person or good building.
The only building in the village that was still largely intact was the temple in the center of the village. The temple was made of white stone, so the flames only blackened its walls and did not cause any damage to its structure.
And just when they were about to enter the temple to spend the night, they finally found a crowd. An old man pulled a cart from a distance. Seeing this, everyone immediately turned around and ran over. Anyway, they had to find it first.
Ask a local about the situation.
"What is this place? What is the name of the village? And is there food here?"
After surrounding the old man, a cavalryman stepped forward and asked irritably.
But when he saw the old man bending down with a frightened and respectful expression on his face, his expression became slightly better. This is what these farmers should look like.
"Sir, this is Oru Village, but it has been abandoned for a long time. I have some things in my car. Please take them as you like."
The old man gestured helplessly to the cart next to him. There was some food on it, including some black bread.
"I have no family, so I might as well go back to this village and wait to die. But if you want to find a place to sleep, they are everywhere and you can use them as you like."
In fact, the identity of this old man is not what he said. He is actually the elder of this village.
As for coming back now, I planned to look for anything useful in the ruins. After all, those bricks and so on could still be used, and then I hurried back while the weather was still dark, but I didn't expect to run into these groups of heavily armed people.
The cavalryman turned around and reported to his master behind him. The old man saw their leader nodding in agreement after looking at the sky.
Then, under the scolding of the cavalry, he turned around, grabbed the rope tied to the cart next to him, put it on his shoulders, and dragged the cart ahead to the temple.
The cavalry were obviously very alert. The cavalryman who was talking to him put his spear on the old man's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, as if he could kill him at any time, and the old man also pretended to be trembling very wisely.
——In the eyes of these people, timid farmers should look good.
Others were walking forward slightly apart to form a semicircle. The old man who had participated in many wars immediately understood that these people were obviously protecting the person in the middle.
Although the man's hair was messy and his clothes were torn, making him look very embarrassed, the old man could still tell that the material was luxurious, and these people were all wearing iron armor. This was no simple team.
Along the way, the old man chattered endlessly about things in the countryside like a farmer. While the farmer's behavior aroused the disgust of the cavalry, it also relaxed their vigilance, allowing him to get close to these people.
Next, his old eyes saw clearly the face of the person being guarded.
As he saw clearly, an earthquake in his pupils immediately appeared. Fortunately, the earthquake was suppressed immediately and did not cause any abnormalities.
Isn't this man the Khan of Bulgar? The elder will never forget the man who destroyed his village, and the elder recognized Aqad, but Aqad obviously did not recognize him.
Then the moment he recognized it, the old man knew what he should do.
After entering the temple, everyone found that there was a lot of straw here, which should have been left by the homeless people who had stayed here. This made the cavalry feel excited, at least they no longer had to sleep on the floor.
Akade was obviously very worried, so he sat down silently in the corner and waited for his men to prepare food for him.
Under the supervision of his entourage, the old man took out his bag full of food. The man looked at the rough food in the bag and nodded slightly. Then he touched the car uneasily, and then looked at the old man's dissatisfied eyes.
He took out some dried meat from his pocket, then took out a silver coin and threw it to the old man.
The old man picked up the silver coins. This thing made him raise his eyebrows. Isn't this the batch of silver coins minted by Bulgar's mint decades ago? It was still so new, which allowed him to confirm the identity of these people.
"Let's just eat something here and sleep, take good care of ourselves, and continue on the road tomorrow."
Akade, who still didn't know that he had been recognized, ordered in a deep voice. He watched the guards light a fire on the tattered floor. As the dried meat and bread were grilled on the fire, he was filled with the smell of food.
Add lips.
"Now at least I can have a hot bite."
After running wildly for most of the day, these cavalrymen were exhausted. Finally, they could lie down on a roof. There was no need to continue to hold up their spirits. These people immediately sat down on the ground and relaxed.
"As for that old man, tie him up outside!"
Akade said while chewing the dried meat, but his behavior was still so cold.
"If he persists until someone comes to rescue him, then Allah will not let him die."
The old man was immediately tied up with the ropes from his cart. When he leaned against the wheel of the cart and kept cursing in a low voice, he saw that his followers were lying down tiredly and preparing to rest.
However, Akade sat there and meditated silently. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but in the end he fell asleep.
Late at night, after walking back and forth a few times, the night watchman leaned on the steps of the temple and closed his eyes slightly. At first, he looked up from time to time. The fatigue during this period made his eyelids more and more swollen.
Heavy until it finally closed.
It was at this time that the old man finally found what he needed. He quietly moved the knife from the bottom of the car to the side of the car, and rubbed the rope behind him hard against it.
The pain caused by the blade accidentally scraping his skin made the old man bite his lips tightly. When the restraints on his arms were finally loosened, he immediately untied the rope from his body and threw it aside.
Soon the old man's figure disappeared into the night leading to the west.
In the forest to the west, the old man found the current village of their village. He first found the village chief, then knocked on the door one by one to summon the young people in the village, and then announced his discovery to them.
"What? Akkad? And there are really only a few dozen people?"
Knowing that their common enemy was there, one person shouted with excitement, and the others also expressed their agreement.
The old man was surrounded by farmers in the village. They were all armed when they were called, because calling people at night was often for fighting and killing. After hearing the news, they were all eager to try.
"Of course, it's definitely him. I can't admit my mistake."
The old man firmly stated that his news was correct, and even danced his arms excitedly a few times, for fear that these people would not believe him and that this bastard Akade would run away.
And as the eldest man in the village, he already has high credibility among everyone, which makes people believe in him.
"In that case... let's do it! Wealth is sought in danger! Allah bless you!"
The village chief hesitated for a while, and then he made up his mind. The glory, wealth and revenge have been delivered to him. If God does not take them, he will be struck by lightning and will be regarded as a fool.
And most importantly, it was an opportunity to show loyalty to the new khan - who already knew of Akkad's defeat.
As time goes by, the night becomes darker and darker, and the earth becomes dark.
The night watchman, who was sitting on the steps and taking a nap, was having a wonderful sleep at this time. He did not realize that a group of black shadows had quietly surrounded the temple. Suddenly, a rope slipped quietly to his chest.
With a fierce pull, the rope suddenly tightened around the night watchman's throat. The force made the night watchman's body suddenly straighten, and then he fell down on the steps.
But the sound of the collision between the iron armor and the stone steps was so loud at night. Before the people nearby had time to grab the body, the guard closest to the door had already opened his eyes vigilantly!
"There are enemies!"
A roar burst out from the mouth of the guard, and the guards who were sleeping suddenly woke up, and they immediately grabbed the weapons around them.
It was at this moment that the long sword of the awakened guard struck the head of the farmer who rushed in first, and blood mixed with brain matter flowed out.
At this time, a war cry could be heard outside the temple. As the figures swayed, Akade was shocked to find that the temple had been completely surrounded by farmers.
Next, groups of peasants armed with various weapons poured in, and the combat consciousness developed by the Khan's guards over a long period of training prompted them to draw their swords and face them.
Although the farmers had bravery and numbers, they could not compare with these guards in terms of skill and ability. With the swing of their scimitars, these farmers were quickly defeated, leaving behind corpses one after another.
"There are too many of them! Close the door! Block them!"
Although a wave of enemies were defeated, more farmers came forward, and they all wanted to take off the head of the big man Akade. His head was the future of glory and prosperity.
Seeing the scene of people frantically killing him for his head, Akade couldn't help but roared, and his men immediately closed the door. Just as the door was closed, several arrows flew in, and immediately hit a man.
The arrow easily penetrated the iron ring on the poor guard's body.
"Sir, we must rush out!"
The captain of the guard grabbed the Khan's shoulder and said, "Others can die, but you must not die in this place! Don't forget the plan. Even if you die, you can't die so worthless."
But now there is no way to escape from this situation. Akade couldn't help but become dejected. He didn't expect that he was actually trapped by a group of farmers. He really wanted to die but couldn't do it.
Suddenly there was a fire outside, and just when the people in the temple felt something bad, a torch was suddenly thrown in through the broken window, and immediately ignited the straw on the ground.
"Asshole! They're going to burn the house down! Get out! Get out! Or we'll all die here!"
The guards suddenly became panicked. They rushed towards the door crazily, but were immediately blocked by pitchforks and spears that had been prepared. Some people tried to attack with force, but were directly stabbed to death.
Moreover, the corpse also blocked the way they could move forward, making it impossible for them to move forward at all, and they were directly stuck there.
When he came here before, the old man asked the villagers to bring a lot of fire starting materials as a last resort to deal with these people, but now, these materials have played the role they were supposed to play.
Under the influence of the tinder, the temple began to burn instantly, and the fire became larger and larger, filling it with smoke.
Looking at the burning fire, the old man couldn't help but feel the pleasure of revenge. He thought about how Akade treated their village back then, but now Akade is blocked here, like a cow or sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
He felt great satisfaction, but he didn't know the proverb, that is, extreme joy leads to sorrow.
Because just when the villagers were getting tired of watching the fire, suddenly a group of cavalry came out from the main road.
These cavalry were well-equipped, each holding a scimitar, which was too much of a threat to the farmers who only had these old weapons.
When facing enemies that can be dealt with and a small space, farmers can charge forward with great courage and use their numbers to overwhelm the enemies in front of them. But now, facing the galloping cavalry on the road, they are at an absolute disadvantage.
With the swing of the machete, several farmers fell down, and this caused the farmers to collapse. They thought that Akade's guards had come to save him, which made them subconsciously run away frantically.
It is ridiculous to say that these cavalry killed many more people than they had killed in the temple before. At that time, they were forcibly pushed out of the room, and then they were forced to choose to set fire.
This was originally the village where farmers once lived, so they ran very fast and disappeared almost instantly. Seeing this, these cavalry did not pursue them. They had more important things to do, so these people subconsciously gathered in front of the temple.
"Damn it, Master Akade is still in there."
Jadby said with anger. He had seen a fire rising here before and ran over quickly, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Everyone hurriedly searched for it, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Jadbi was silent for a while, and suddenly he said to his subordinates, "Khan has been organizing forces in the countryside to fight against the Russian invaders. Do you understand?"
This statement stunned everyone, but then they understood what Jadebi meant and nodded. Then, after paying their last respects to Khan, Jadebi left the place with his people.
