The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Seven days later.

The common people around here have gone crazy, and a large number of people are dying of thirst outside. Li Xiang also feels it. Now we must retreat as soon as possible. If we don't retreat, our military camp will be overwhelmed by these people at any time. I have to say that Suheguman really made a good move.

For Li Xiang, he originally wanted to annihilate more of their troops and then consider whether to attack the heartland of the Arab Empire. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. Although there are 100,000 people we meet, there is still a big gap compared with the overall strength of the Arab Empire. So in this case, it is better for us to withdraw first.

During these seven days, scouts from all directions ran back. Basically, the situation in each city was similar to that here. When Li Xiang was leaving, he didn't want to retreat just like that. If there was a city that was slightly better, Li Xiang would take his troops there and settle down first.

Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity at all. There are refugees everywhere. No matter where they go, they may be blocked by these people. So in this situation, it is best to be honest.

Before leaving, Li Xiang still gave a few more instructions, asking the two generals to hide first. Although your troops are smaller in number, five thousand people are neither too many nor too few. Once they are discovered by these refugees, they will easily be entangled. You stay not for these refugees, but to create trouble for the people of the Arab Empire and hinder the development of their national strength.

Su Dingfang and Cheng Chuliang are not good people. They are the best at doing such things. If you arrange them to do something constructive, they probably won't succeed. But if they want to sabotage others, they are probably better than anyone else.

Li Xiang's army began to retreat to the northeast, and Su Dingfang and Cheng Chuliang's troops were responsible for covering their retreat. When many refugees saw the Tang army retreating, they also wanted to follow, but they were all shot and killed by Su Dingfang.

Who knows if you are real refugees or spies? If there are spies, then our military movements are likely to be known by you. In order to protect the movement of our army, it doesn't matter if we kill a few hundred of you. When the sand on the ground is stained red with blood, these refugees will not dare to chase after us.

Of course, among the people who died just now, there were indeed some spies from the Arab Empire. They wanted to see where the Tang army was going. Could Su Dingfang let them see clearly? He must leave them with a suspense.

Five days after the army retreated, the news reached Suhguman's camp, and it was brought back by several scouts at the same time. This guy had no choice but to believe it.

The Tang army finally retreated. At that time, he turned these cities into refugee areas. He was very worried. If the Tang army really killed these people and continued to advance south, he would have no way to explain to the great caliph. He might have to kill himself. Now the Tang army retreated to the north, which meant that the battle had come to an end. As for the remaining people in the Tang army, he didn't need to be afraid of them. They were just used to cover the retreat. The army had already withdrawn, and he believed that these people would return soon. This land would soon belong to the Arab Empire again.

Of course, after experiencing this incident, we must mobilize the wisdom of the whole country and let them find a way to break the attack of the Tang army. If possible, it would be best to get the same weapons as the Tang army. Only in this way can we defeat them. I am afraid we cannot defeat the Tang army relying on the scimitars in our hands and the camels under our crotch.

Of course, this is just Suhguman's idea. There are still many people in the Arab army who don't believe it. In their opinion, it must be Suhguman's execution ability that is not good enough. If his execution ability was stronger, when our desert storm rolled in, no one would be able to survive. You have problems with your own execution ability, but you blame all the Arab armies.

Facing these people's accusations, Suhguman didn't know what to say. He really should send these people to the battlefield to let them see with their own eyes how the Tang army fought. Of course, the great caliph believed him, because there were many people with burns in the army, and these people were obviously different from ordinary burns.

Firstly, the area is relatively large, and secondly, we found some substances on their burn wounds that we have never seen before. Although they have been handed over to the national master, the national master and his men have studied it for a long time, but in the end they were unable to figure out these things.

Under such circumstances, the Arab Empire also temporarily ceased fighting. The border areas had been completely ravaged by Sukhguman. In order to prevent these refugees from heading to their inland areas, the people of the Arab Empire could only send people to transport batches of supplies.

At least these people can hold on for a while longer. If they lose hope, they will directly sweep across the entire central and northern regions of the Arab Empire. This is equivalent to the loss of a war. Refugees are sometimes more terrifying than enemy troops.

After Cheng Chuliang and Su Dingfang defended for a while, they found that the refugees in front of them could definitely not keep up with Li Xiang. On a moonlit night, the two said goodbye to each other, and then disappeared into the moonlight with their 5,000 men. When they appeared again, it would probably be a headache for the entire Arab Empire.

When Xiao Shougui learned the news that Li Xiang had returned to the court, he immediately wrote a memorial to Chang'an City. After all, all the memorials needed to be forwarded from here. This time, they annihilated the 100,000-strong army of the Arab Empire and brought back tens of thousands of prisoners. This could be considered an explanation to the court. Although the goal at that time was not achieved, it was at least a huge victory.

Many civil servants in the court stood up to sing praises at this time. In fact, for the Tang Dynasty, a war that annihilated 100,000 people was enough to go down in history. It was just that Li Xiang's requirements were a bit high at the time, so he felt that this time he had failed. Including several generals under his command, they did not think that this was a great victory at all. They just thought that this was an appetizer. As soon as they opened their mouths, there was nothing delicious. They must not do this next time... (End of this chapter)
