According to some legends from various countries in the Western Regions, people from the Arab Empire wore black robes and came and went without a trace. What's more, the blood they shed was not bright red, but all black, so they were called black devils. But since you have come to surrender to them, you can't say this word out loud.
"Are you here to announce the decree to us?"
Some people said stupidly that these people generally don't have any brains. Anyone with a brain wouldn't say these things.
If they were here to deliver a message, they would only need dozens or even hundreds of cavalrymen. But look at how many people there are now. They are so dense that you can't see the end of them. Moreover, these people have taken out their scimitars, which shows that they are not here to deliver a message. It seems that they are here to destroy us.
If Prince Salaman saw this scene, he would at most frown. Although his men did not follow his orders, in his opinion, robbing these people's wealth was no different from killing them. Without these riches, they would have no way to survive in such a vast space. Instead of living in difficulty, it would be better to die directly.
"His Royal Highness..."
Some of his men have already put their hands on their weapons. They can feel that the murderous aura of this army is very close to them. If they don't make preparations, even if you have an idea later, you may not be able to put it into practice. The Arab cavalry is very fast. From the beginning to now, they have run several miles. It only takes a few words to get here.
"Don't act rashly. They may not be aware of our situation. Immediately raise our banner and send someone to negotiate with them. Tell them that we have come to seek refuge with His Royal Highness and are awaiting an audience with him. Everyone else, do not reveal your weapons."
The king was also a coward. The main reason was that he couldn't believe the real situation before him. He had come all the way from his hometown to here. If he had to fight with the people who came to him for refuge, he would be homeless.
Counting the days, the Tang army should have reached his hometown by now. They will not leave anything useful behind after they leave. By then, they will most likely become a group of vagrants in the Western Regions, so the Arab Empire is their last resort.
Under such circumstances, they absolutely could not fall out with the people of the Arab Empire. Even if the other party came with great force, they had to treat them with courtesy. The king even ordered the girls in the tribe to wear bright clothes to prepare to welcome these guests from afar.
Things changed one incense stick after he gave the order. More than one hundred cavalrymen under his command went to negotiate. It was obvious to the naked eye that all of them were submerged in black gauze robes. These people probably didn't even have a chance to speak before their necks were cut by the scimitars.
"ah……"
The people in the camp finally understood that there was no need for anyone to give orders. These people were not here to convey the will, but to kill them.
"Don't mess around. There must be a misunderstanding here. You must not fight back. If you fight back, the misunderstanding will be unclear, and no one in our clan will survive."
Even at this time, His Majesty the King was still fantasizing that these people were here to convey orders. The reason why the team was killed just now was because they did not explain clearly, so he planned to go there in person.
Unfortunately, he's already lost control. In the distance, in the desert, there are nearly 20,000 cavalrymen, ready for battle, advancing at breakneck speed towards your camp. Does this need explaining? By the time they ride past your camp gate, you'll know what's going on.
A fierce battle is unfolding.
Under the scorching sun, yellow sand rolled, and the iron cavalry was like a dragon. The Arab cavalry rushed into the Shule people's camp at an extremely fast speed.
The trembling of the earth under the feet of horse hooves.
Arrows rained down, cutting through the sky, accompanied by the Shule people's tragic cries.
Amidst the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers, blood and fire intertwined, wave after wave of Shule people fell.
The old king's head and body had been separated. He was trying to stop his men from doing anything rash, but when the blade cut across his throat, he knew he had done something wrong.
If he could choose again, he would definitely choose to surrender to the Tang Dynasty court instead of surrendering to these bandits from Arabia.
We clearly came here to seek refuge with you, but you treated us as fat meat.
The warriors of Shule were also very powerful. When their families were in danger, they took out their weapons to fight back, but unfortunately they had not prepared any formation in advance.
The soldiers of the Arab Empire entered the territory as if it were no man's land. They formed a team of more than a dozen people, and they looked after each other from the front and back. After they entered, their speed did not slow down at all. Heads were chopped off one after another. No one could stand up where their blades passed.
As for those warriors who had already mounted their horses, seeing how brave the Arab cavalry were, they lost the confidence to continue fighting and could only flee into the distance.
If they were facing other enemies, they might be able to escape, but facing the cavalry of the Arab Empire, they simply did not have this ability. They all had some armor on their bodies, plus some other things, so they could not run very fast.
The Arab cavalry is different. They have no armor on their bodies. Apart from the black robe, they are just cavalrymen. They have been fighting for a long time and have developed the ability to run fast on horseback.
So no matter whether you resist or run away, there is no way to stop the killing. They have long been accustomed to this way.
The massacre lasted from noon to sunset. When it was completely dark, the whole earth was filled with the sound of crying. The people of the Arab Empire were also very good at doing things. They only killed strong men, and they left the women behind.
Of the tribe's more than 70,000 people, more than 9,000 were killed that day, and the remaining people were all rounded up together, and there was a high possibility that they would become slaves in the future.
As for the women who came with them, they were all eaten up by them. The elderly who were unable to work were all buried alive tonight.
