Seven days later.

The people around here have gone crazy. A large number of people outside are dying of thirst. Li Xiang also feels it. Now we must hurry up and retreat. If we don't retreat, our military camp will be overwhelmed by these people at any time. I have to say that Sukhguman 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 it 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 retreat first.

During these seven days, the scouts from all directions ran back. Basically, the situation in each city is similar to this side. When Li Xiang left, he didn't want to retreat like this. If there was a city that was slightly better, Li Xiang would take the army to live there first.

Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity. There are a lot of refugees everywhere. No matter where they go, they may be blocked by these people. So in this case, it is better to be honest.

Before leaving, Li Xiang still gave two more instructions, asking the two generals to hide first. Although your army is smaller, 5,000 people are not too many or too few. Once they are discovered by these refugees, they will be easily entangled. You stay not for these refugees, but to create trouble for the people of the Arab Empire and delay their national strength development.

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

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

Who knows if you are real refugees or spies? If there are spies, then our army's 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 with blood, these refugees will not dare to chase after them.

Of course, among the group of people who died just now, there are indeed some spies from the Arab Empire. They want to see where the Tang army is going. Can Su Dingfang let them see clearly? They must be left with suspense.

Five days after the army retreated, the news reached Sukhguman's camp, and it was sent back by several scouts together. This guy couldn't help but believe it.

The Tang army finally retreated. At that time, he robbed these cities into refugee areas, and he was also worried in his heart. If the Tang army really killed these people and continued to advance south, then he really couldn't explain to the great caliph, and he was afraid that he would really have to cut his neck.

Now the Tang army has retreated to the north, which means that this battle has come to an end. As for the remaining people in the Tang army, he doesn't think they are to be feared. They are just used to cover the rear. The army has withdrawn, and these people will soon return. This land will soon belong to the Arab Empire again.

Of course, after experiencing this incident, we must mobilize wisdom throughout the country to let them find a way to crack the attack of the Tang army. If possible, it is best to get the same weapons as the Tang army. Only in this way can we defeat them. Relying on the scimitars in our hands and the camels under our crotch, I am afraid we can't defeat the Tang army.

Of course, this is just Suheguman's idea. Now there are still many people in the Arab army who don't believe it. In their opinion, Suheguman's execution must be poor. If his execution is stronger, when our desert storm rolls up, no one can survive. You have problems with your own execution, but you blame all the Arab army.

Facing these people's accusations, Sukhguman didn't know what to say. He really should send these people to the battlefield to let you see with your own eyes how the Tang army fights. 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.

First, the area is relatively large, and second, on their burn wounds, we found some substances that we have never seen before. Although they have been handed over to the national teacher, the national teacher and his men have studied for a long time, but they can't study these things after all.

Under such circumstances, the Arab Empire also temporarily stopped fighting. The border area has been ravaged by Sukhguman. In order to prevent these refugees from going to their inland areas, the people of the Arab Empire can only send people to transport batches of supplies.

At least let these people hold on for a while. If they can't see hope, they will directly sweep across the central and northern regions of the entire Arab Empire. This is also equivalent to the loss of a war. Refugees are sometimes more terrible than enemy troops.

After defending for a while, Cheng Chuliang and Su Dingfang found that the refugees in front of them could not keep up with Li Xiang. On a moonlit night, the two said goodbye to each other and disappeared in 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 of Li Xiang's return to the court, he immediately wrote a memorial to Chang'an City. After all, it needed to be forwarded here. This time, he annihilated the 100,000-strong Arab Empire army and brought back tens of thousands of prisoners. It can be regarded as an explanation to the court. Although it did not achieve the goal at that time, 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)
