The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1599: Continue to Advance Southward

When Li Xiang just started the war, the Tang Empire did not have many aces. All the troops were trained on the battlefield, and now they all have the status of aces. So when these people are very tired, they must be replaced. These people are the most precious wealth of the Tang Empire.

As the Tang Dynasty expanded in size, more and more troops would be needed in the future. After these people were replaced, one-fifth of them would never go to the battlefield again. This was also the policy set by Li Xiang.

These people must be pulled back to the rear, and then one training camp after another must be formed to help the Tang Dynasty train more troops. Their various experiences are the most valuable assets for the Tang Dynasty. Only by letting them teach by words and deeds can more ace troops be trained.

If they were allowed to continue fighting on the battlefield, perhaps they could have achieved more merits. However, for the Tang Dynasty, this would be a waste of resources. If they were accidentally killed in battle one day and no one could take their place in the future, who would suffer the consequences?
So when someone opposed Li Xiang's withdrawal of his ace, Li Xiang did the math for them. If one man went back to the rear to train new recruits, and he could train five out of the twenty people under his command, his strength could be multiplied five times.

But if they continue to fight on the front line, if someone is injured, there will be no one in the rear to replace him. This will be a very fatal matter for everyone, and even more so for the entire Tang Empire.

It's not easy to own such a vast territory, but if you can't hold on to it, who can you go to? So in this case, you must understand that training new soldiers is as important as the trump card on the battlefield. In some aspects, training new soldiers should be ranked first.

Therefore, even if Su Dingfang was reluctant to let go of his men, he had to send them back as soon as possible. After these people went back, the newcomers would have a chance to adjust to the new situation. If these newcomers were not given a chance to adjust to the second-line battlefield, the speed would be too slow.

Even though we have won the battle against the Arab Empire, one hundred thousand troops are nothing to the huge Arab Empire. They can still recruit more soldiers, so this time we must cripple them and let them know how powerful our Tang Dynasty is.

So after the army was rotated, Su Dingfang continued to march southward, allowing more Arab cities to see the military flag of the Tang Dynasty and make them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. You shouldn't have provoked us in the first place, and we are definitely not someone you can deal with. Now you can just enjoy the fear of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, the Arab Empire has already felt this fear. Some people have left their capital and started moving to the south. Although the emperor of the Arab Empire, that is, their caliph, has already started speaking to everyone, calling on them to defend Arabia together, some people still have selfish motives.

When the Arab Empire was winning, we were your most honest servants, but now the situation is that the north is basically in chaos, and the empire has lost tens of thousands of troops in various cities. If we add the troops under Muhammad, we have lost more than 150,000 in this battle. The Arab Empire is a big country, and 150,000 troops are really not worth it. They can mobilize a million troops at any time, but the problem is that in the last battle of Anton Governor's Mansion, we have already lost hundreds of thousands, plus the losses in the western region, more than one-third of the Arab Empire's troops are gone, and there are still a large number of new recruits in the army.

The combat effectiveness of the Arab light cavalry is very strong, but this is definitely not the case with these new recruits, because apart from their similar appearance, their combat effectiveness is really too poor. If you insist on them to show their combat effectiveness on the battlefield, you must at least give them some opportunities to perform and let them get familiar with the charge of the light cavalry.

But now they have a chance. The Tang army doesn't give them any chance at all. Whenever they meet the Tang army, we can't deal with their weapons at all. Before everyone knows what's going on, the sparks have reached our army. A large number of people are directly blown away, which leaves a very bad impression on all the recruits.

So the next time they went to the battlefield, everyone was on guard against those small fire bags, fearing that such things would appear around them. They just wanted to run away as soon as possible. If they continued to stay, they might become a skeleton in the desert like those who died in the battle.

On the other hand, although the Tang army had added a lot of new recruits, they won battles as soon as they started. A victory could give them firm confidence. Moreover, the Tang army not only taught them military knowledge, but also educated them ideologically. In addition, these people gained benefits, both spiritually and materially. How could the combat effectiveness of this army not increase?

Putting aside the victory or defeat on the battlefield, even in terms of the education of the new army, the Tang Dynasty has no idea how many times it has been left, so the Arab Empire is now powerless to resist. Of course, if they can also develop new weapons, they might be able to fight the Tang Dynasty army on the battlefield, otherwise it is unlikely.

Suhguman understood all of this, but he couldn't say it out loud. At this moment, in the palace of the Arab Empire, he was already kneeling trembling in front of the Caliph. Apart from the Prime Minister, there was no one else around. Many people didn't even know that Suhguman had returned to the imperial capital.

The reason why the Caliph of the Arab Empire did this was that he did not want to cause any panic in society. If everyone knew that Sukhguman was back, these people would feel a little uncomfortable. After all, this guy was the commander on the front line. If the Caliph brought him back, it could only mean one thing, that is, he had to ask him about the situation on the front line.

This is a very normal official business, but the current situation is different. We are in the process of losing the war, and this official business will also cause a certain panic. (End of this chapter)
