The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

"I will obey my orders."

All the people present stood up in unison. What Li Xiang said was very important. If we still follow the previous strategy, it is not that it is impossible, but we will most likely be trapped in the territory of the Arab Empire, and it will be impossible for you to extricate yourself at that time.

The Imperial City Office has information about the Arab Empire. At this time, the Arab Empire can be said to be the most powerful, with good soldiers and able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people at any time. Don't think that these hundreds of thousands of troops are the entire Arab Empire, this is only a part of them.

Take the young and middle-aged people in their country for example, because they have lived in relatively harsh environments since childhood, these people have the ability to fight. With just a little training, they can become the most loyal warriors of the Arab Empire. In addition, they are a system that combines politics and religion, so these people are more willing to fight for their lives on the battlefield.

Of course, when fighting with the Tang army, they suffered a great loss at the beginning because they had never seen the weapons of the Tang army. After experiencing this battle, many soldiers who ran back began to describe their experiences, and some of their generals also began to make plans to deal with the Tang army. Of course, whether these plans are useful or not must be verified with your lives on the battlefield. If there is no actual combat, then everything is just empty talk.

The Tang army was originally advancing in divided forces. Now that the main force of the Arab Empire has begun to withdraw, there is no need to continue dividing our forces. All troops retreat to within a range of fifty miles.

We still set up camp according to the original camp, but the distance between everyone is closer. We do this because we are afraid that the army of the Arab Empire will launch a surprise attack on us. At that time, the various camps can support each other and not give them any chance to take advantage.

After dinner, Li Xiang and Zhang Jiuli took a walk near the military camp. Seeing flames rising into the sky in the distance, Li Xiang knew that those were several other satellite military camps. According to Li Xiang's request, the four large camps were arranged in a diamond-shaped quadrilateral with almost the same distance between each camp. If someone was attacked, other camps could intercept the attackers in other directions and prevent them from returning.

Of course, if they haven't started fighting yet, you must find a way to let them in. Now our combat strategy has changed, which is to kill the Arab Empire's manpower to the maximum extent. This is also a task that the Tang Dynasty army has been carrying out.

For the Tang army, occupying land is not important. We have plenty of land in our hands. If we don't destroy their army, even if these lands are in your hands, your life will not be so comfortable. They can take them back later. You are just a passerby.

But what if their manpower is destroyed? The land will become ownerless, and we can come and occupy it at any time. So between land and manpower, Li Xiang chose to annihilate their manpower. This has also been verified in the Indochina Peninsula and has effectively guaranteed our victory.

It is the same now. The main force of the Arab Empire has retreated, but there are still hundreds of thousands of defensive troops in the border areas. These troops are all hiding in more than a dozen cities. Li Xiang will never let them go. Even if we want to retreat, we have to bring you the greatest losses. If this loss is not up to standard, why do we run so far? Of course, when attacking these cities, Li Xiang must also earn his military expenses. We came so far from the Tang Dynasty, and some soldiers came from Chang'an. The food we eat on the road alone is much more than our weight.

If we don't take this money from the Arab Empire, wouldn't we be losing money? Since Li Xiang became the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty, we have never made a loss.

"Lao Zhang, do you think that if our people attack their border cities, can they force their main forces out?"

Li Xiang suddenly thought of another thing. The Arab Empire was also a great empire in the world. To put it bluntly, they were real men who would fight others at any time and were definitely not the kind of people who wanted to avoid trouble.

Now their army is retreating, not because they are afraid, but purely because they can't find a way to deal with us, so it is better for them to retreat temporarily, which is much better than being wiped out by us with tens of thousands of people. Although the Arab Empire has more soldiers, they cannot be wasted like this. If there is no restraint at all, they will be killed in a few years.

"According to my guess, they will not come out in a short time. They must be scared by us. In such a short time, the general has eliminated nearly 100,000 of them and did not give them a chance to fight back. In this case, Sukhguman should adopt a more conservative strategy. If my guess is correct, he ordered the army to retreat and strengthened the defense of the border."

Zhang Jiuli stroked his beard and said that although the scouts had not come out yet, he thought his guess was probably right. Although the Arab Empire lacked the courage to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army, the people in their army were not fools. Strengthening their border defense at this time would be very useful.

"I'm just worried that they won't strengthen. Anyway, no matter whether they strengthen or not, we have to capture their city. It's the same effort for us. If that's the case, then we should annihilate more people."

Li Xiang said with a smile, and Zhang Jiuli beside him nodded. We have conquered so many armies, and although we have won the victory here, these 100,000 people are not a drop in the bucket for the Arab Empire, but they can be replenished quickly. At most, it can be regarded as a heavy blow to them, which is completely different from what we thought at the beginning.

Now their main force is retreating too fast, which is also an advantage of the Arab Empire Army. As long as you don't surround them, no matter what level the battle reaches, if they want to escape, you really can't catch them back. In fact, let alone catching them back, to be honest, if you can send people to catch up, then your ability is not small. Don't underestimate the power of the Arab light cavalry, their speed is definitely second to none in the world today... (End of this chapter)
