When Sukhguman retreated, some people in the Arab Empire felt that he had escaped, but they still regarded him as a winner. After all, the Tang army retreated and did not attack them. If the Tang army had attacked them, it is unknown what the final outcome would have been.

At that time, Sukhguman was not transferred back to the capital due to military reasons. Now the Khalifa of the Arab Empire could not help it and immediately transferred this guy back to the capital to ask him what he wanted to do next. The current situation has a tendency to subvert the entire empire. If the refugees continue to go south, it will cause turmoil in the entire empire. Now it is not just the cities in the north, many cities in the central part have been affected.

It has to be said that the strategy of the Tang Dynasty was very effective. They drove the refugees in front, and when the refugees made a mess of the entire city, the Tang army immediately rushed in. The chance of defending the city was almost zero.

At the beginning, the leaders of the Arab Empire did not take it seriously. How can there be no losses in war? They have been in war for many years, and even if they won the war, the losses were not small, so no one cared much.

But now refugees have appeared even in their capital. If no action is taken, these refugees may really shake the foundation of their rule. After receiving the order from the Caliph of the Arab Empire, Sukhguman set out for the imperial capital day and night.

In fact, this guy is also feeling very bitter. The gap in combat power between us and the Tang Empire is too far, but he cannot say this openly. As the commander-in-chief of the Arab Empire, if he said this, his head would probably be unstable.

"Marshal, don't worry. We all know what happened at the time, and so do the top leaders of the empire. If you insist on assigning responsibility, you can't put all the blame on us. I don't believe they can support such a chaotic situation."

Seeing Suhguman was worried, an attendant came up to flatter him. If it were in the past, Suhguman would be very willing to chat with this person, because every time he could talk about his heart and make him feel very comfortable. But today he was not happy at all and looked at this guy fiercely.

This guy also knew that he was flattering the horse and he hit the horse's hoof, so he quickly dodged to the side and didn't come forward. Now the situation cannot be explained in a few words. Many cities have been plunged into war, and emergency documents are flying to the rear like snowflakes. This is not a problem in just one or two cities, but in dozens of cities.

Sukhguman had thought about dispersing his troops and helping the local city lords defend the city, but if he did so, he would have no mobile forces. What would he do if the Tang army rushed over? All the troops were scattered in various cities. If you wanted to gather them together, it would not be done in a short time. If the Tang army found a loophole, the Arab Empire would be finished.

But it doesn't make sense to control so many troops without supporting the cities. Take what some people in the court say now, Suhguman may have already reached two stars, or this guy may be old and incompetent. He clearly has an army of more than 200,000, but he watched the cities fall one after another and did nothing. Isn't this going to lead to the country's demise?
Thinking of this, Suheguman punched the beam of the carriage. The people around him didn't dare to say a word. They knew that the Marshal was in a bad mood these two days, so we'd better keep our mouths shut. If we make the Marshal unhappy, we might lose our lives.

Just as Suheguman was thinking about these things, two more cities were lost. Cheng Chuliang captured three cities in half a month. Su Dingfang was faster than Cheng Chuliang. Because the cities in Su Dingfang's area were relatively close to each other, Su Dingfang took over four cities. He was currently outside the fifth city, driving the refugees to attack the city.

During this half month or so, they did not update any tactics and they were still the same as at the beginning, but their efficiency was very good. Some Arab city lords also realized that the Tang Dynasty only had so many tricks, but they had no way to stop these refugees.

The refugees were extremely hungry and they only wanted to enter the city. Behind them were the Tang Dynasty's Tiger cavalry. If they ran too slowly, these Tang Dynasty cavalry would directly kill them. So in this situation, they could only attack their own city.

Among these refugee armies, there are also some knowledgeable people. They know what they are doing now. They are already helping the Tang Dynasty to harm their own empire. But then again, even if you don't want to do this, can you manage these refugees around you? What's more, now the stomach has surpassed the brain, so fill the stomach first. As for thinking about problems, they no longer have this function.

Su Dingfang looked at the scorching sun above his head. The temperature here was at least over 35 degrees. Living in such high temperatures every day, the soldiers' clothes were never dry. Fortunately, there was a water source nearby, so they could change and wash their clothes when it was really hot. These refugees were different. Whenever the Tang army arrived at a place, they had to drive them away first. Only by occupying the water source could they be made anxious.

Only when these people can't drink water will they think of attacking the city. This is a theorem that has been known for a long time. When these people attack the city, our chance comes. If they stay at the water source every day, when will they be able to get out of the desperate situation?
"General, a new military station has been selected 350 miles behind our army. According to the document given to us by the court, it will be operational in about a month and a half, but we are expected to send 900 laborers."

A clerk with the army just received a letter from the rear, saying that building a military station is not only the responsibility of the rear officials, but also the responsibility of you generals on the front line. If the labor force can be transported faster, then our military station will be able to be completed better. (End of this chapter)
