Da Gan Kingdom, on the border of Suzhou, more than two hundred li from the city.
A massive, dark army arrived silently. The leader, the Eastern Expeditionary General Tuli, stared intently at the Central Plains in the distance, his eyes filled with a fierce and murderous intent. The army was coming with overwhelming force!
This large army was none other than the cavalry army of the Samanid Khanate in the Western Regions!
After the steppe bandit forces retreated westward into the Samanid Khanate, the survival pressure on the Samanid Khanate suddenly increased dramatically.
Therefore, during this period, the Samanid Khanate frequently sent cavalry units to harass the borders of the Dagangan Khanate.
This time, this large army has naturally come to plunder the Great Gan Kingdom!
"Report!"
"A large village of people has been discovered to the southeast!"
"Judging by appearances, there are over two hundred households, but the total number of people cannot exceed five hundred!"
A scout emerged from the dense jungle and knelt down to report.
The general listened expressionlessly, then mounted his horse and waved his hand forward.
"Massacre the village!"
"Except for young women, everyone else, regardless of age, was beheaded and sacrificed to the heavens!"
"All livestock, gold, silver, and women seized shall belong to their respective units and need not be handed over to the commander's office!"
Upon hearing this, the barbarians from the Western Regions were all excited, their eyes gleaming!
They had long heard that the women of Daqian were delicate and fragile, and that the exquisite pleasure they experienced far surpassed that of the barbarian women of their own tribe!
After this long march of thousands of miles, we are exhausted. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to enjoy a taste of this?
In an instant, the Samanid Khanate's raiding army simultaneously drew their scimitars from their waists, raised them high above their heads, and roared:
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
...
At the entrance of Banyan Tree Village, Gubao County, Suzhou.
Many villagers are working hard in the fields under the scorching sun, their faces to the soil and their backs to the sky.
Some young children sat barefoot beside the field, kicking up water and laughing and playing.
"Liu Zi, I heard you've hit it off with the daughter of Old Huang from the east of the village, and you've already hired a matchmaker?"
"I never knew you, who seemed so honest and well-behaved, could be just as wicked as those other men behind the scenes!"
"Old Huang's daughter is such a beautiful girl, you've really gotten a great deal!"
During a break, a village woman joked with the young man across from her.
The surrounding villagers laughed and cheered, causing Liu Zi's dark face to flush red.
The children perked up and surrounded Liu Zi, clamoring for wedding candy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, a deafening sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from afar, and the ground trembled slightly!
This caused many villagers to instinctively turn their heads and see a cloud of dust rising in the distance!
As the sound of horses' hooves grew closer, the cloud of dust seemed to have eyes, spreading towards the village!
The children who were just playing around were now pale-faced and hid in their parents' arms, too afraid to make a sound...
In a short while, a densely packed army had surrounded the small village.
The village head of Rongshu Village, an elderly man in his fifties or sixties, hurriedly arrived at the village entrance with the help of his younger relatives.
When he saw countless troops approaching, especially their strange attire, his heart skipped a beat!
However, as the village head, he held some official position, so he braced himself, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked:
"Gentlemen...soldiers, may I ask where you are from...?"
Unfortunately, before the old man could finish speaking, Nada, the Saman Khanate's vanguard general who was closest to him, suddenly raised his hand and slashed!
Whoosh!
A flash of cold light, and the old man's head fell off!
Blood gushed out instantly from the headless cavity, staining the ground red!
After convulsing a few times, his legs buckled weakly, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, motionless.
The sudden, bloody scene left the villagers of Rongshu Village completely stunned...
"kill!"
It was Nada's cold shout that brought the villagers back to their senses.
At this moment, even a fool could see that these troops had ill intentions, so how could they dare to stay any longer?
Accompanied by piercing screams, the villagers dropped their farm tools, picked up their children, and ran wildly back into the village.
However, the vanguard general Nada had already led his cavalry to charge forward. How could an ordinary person possibly outrun a warhorse?
Those elderly villagers who lagged behind were like straw in the autumn harvest, mercilessly harvested by the cavalry.
"Father! Mother! What's wrong with you?"
"Get up! I want to go home!"
"Third Uncle, Sixth Uncle, why aren't my parents moving?"
As their parents collapsed, these young children cried pitifully and miserably.
A few villagers couldn't bear it and suddenly gritted their teeth, turning back to try and take the children away.
They were met by cavalry, whose blood-stained, merciless scimitars slashed and hacked.
As for the remaining children, they were all brutally murdered one by one, creating a truly hellish scene...
The villagers who had managed to escape to a distance were feeling fortunate to have escaped a disaster when they suddenly heard the sound of wind being cut!
Whoosh!
A flash of blood appeared on a villager's chest; an arrow had pierced right through him!
The man's eyes widened instantly, as if he couldn't believe that he still couldn't escape his fate of death.
As their companion fell straight down, the remaining villagers were so frightened that they scrambled to escape.
Unfortunately, the Samanid cavalry behind them had already begun to draw their bows and arrows, reaping lives like the Grim Reaper.
What's chilling is that the cavalrymen were grinning as they acted with such disregard for human life.
They even started killing contests to see who could shoot the most villagers!
It was as if those falling to their arrows were not living people, but prey...
