The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1550 Trampling by One's Own People

Thousands of cavalrymen charged into General Ibudul's camp like a whirlwind. This guy's army originally had some organization, but when they were rushed by the Tang army, they lost their way.

They had just assembled a part of the army, waiting to launch a counterattack later, but unfortunately there was no need to fight now. When they saw the Tang army coming towards them, they had only one thought in their minds, which was to escape as soon as possible.

The main reason is that there are too many injured people around, and there are wailing everywhere. If we continue to wait here, we will probably be beaten like this by the Tang army. In addition, before the expedition, there were some rumors in the army that they had been defeated once. Although many generals strongly opposed it, judging from the current situation, it is pure nonsense for those generals.

"Come back here! Have you forgotten your honor? We are believers of the great true God. No one can defeat us. We will conquer all the pagan lands..."

General Ibdul still wanted to stop his men, but unfortunately he no longer had the ability to do so. Usually his men were very obedient and would do almost anything they were told to do. But now was no longer the same time. Everyone was very afraid of death. If they continued like this, the Tang army would come and kill them.

"Quick, look, look..."

Several soldiers pointed in the direction of the Tang army's charge, their mouths were already a little out of control. How could so many arrows be shot from the direction of the Tang army's charge? What on earth were they using? Could they shoot arrows so fast?
In fact, the first wave of people charging were all carrying chain crossbows. The charge of the Tang cavalry was different from that of other countries. We used our chain crossbows to harvest the first wave and kill the enemy's outermost troops. After the troops inside saw all this, the wave of fear alone was enough to take their lives. No matter what kind of fighting style we used next, we would not encounter much resistance.

"The gods have blessed them..."

"The real body abandoned us."

No one knew who shouted this sentence, but it soon spread throughout the entire military camp. General Ibdul didn't know what to say at this moment. Even if the real God appeared at this moment, they would probably not be able to survive.

Under such circumstances, he could only mount the camel that was still running nearby and run south with his men. If he ran away like this, he would definitely not have a good ending. He might even be beheaded when he returned. But then again, would you not be beheaded if you stayed here? Would you be able to have a good start if you stayed here?

But they have all heard that many people did not return last time. They were all captured by the Tang Dynasty army. It is said that these people are doing hard labor in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. They have no time to rest from morning to night, and the supplies are insufficient. If they get sick, they will find a place to throw you there to fend for yourself. They don't want to live such a life, so no matter how fast they come, they have to be faster now than when they came.

The cavalry of the Arab Empire once again demonstrated what it means to be defeated like a mountain. At this moment, many people also want to regain their strength, but unfortunately, there is no chance. When the Tang army rushed over, it was like a flood, and they did not give them any chance to resist. If many people lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, they can still get through this difficult time, but if you have other ideas, several arrows will be shot at you in an instant. No one knows how the Tang army plays, but their attack surface is so wide.

As for those who were running away, because of the collisions between them, many of them could not run fast at all. The Tang Dynasty soldiers were wearing armor, but they still caught up with them. The speed of the Arab Empire cavalry was completely surpassed by them.

Li Chengyi watched the battle coldly. From the second batch of troops, only a few hundred people escaped, and the rest were all captured. However, from the first batch of troops, more than a thousand people escaped, and the rest were either injured or had no means of transportation.

In a place like this, if you don't have a camel or a war horse, it will be useless even if you run away. The sun in the sky is so big that it is evaporating the water in your body every moment. If you don't have a war horse or a camel, you can only hold on for an hour at most. You may fall down by the side of the road. Once you fall down, you may never be able to get up again.

So many people in the first batch of Arab troops lost their camels, and they could only kneel where they were. This was also a tradition of their fighting. After losing their camels in the desert or wilderness, it meant a dead end. They had to honestly entrust their lives to the true God and go wherever he let them go. This was their destiny.

Li Chengyi didn't know what to say to these Arab soldiers kneeling on the ground. Running away was at least an opportunity. Of course, if he also lived in the Arab region, he would naturally understand why these soldiers made such a choice. Running away was just a more painful way to die. If they died of dehydration, it would make them even more uncomfortable. It would be better for them to wait here as prisoners of war. At least they would not die of thirst or heat.

"General, according to our preliminary investigation, these two teams should be three teams of 10,000 people. They are divided into two teams. In addition, there are more than 4,000 civilians. These people transport various items for the two teams."

After more than an hour of investigation and questioning, we finally figured out who these troops were. They were the Western Army of the Arab Empire and had the fastest movement speed. However, they were only half of the Western Army. There was another group of troops fifty miles away. Those who ran away just now were heading towards their camp.

Fifty miles away?
"Send the order down, tie up all the prisoners, leave 500 people to watch them, and shoot anyone who dares to escape. The rest of the people continue to advance, and march 50 miles."

Li Chengyi simply looked at the soldiers around him and found that they still had fighting power. There was no need to rest any longer. We had to continue doing our work. (End of this chapter)
