The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"Then why are you still hanging around? It's just 900 people. Don't wait for the city to be breached. If you search around, you can probably get enough. After the military station is repaired, it will be closer to us, which means we have more This strength can be achieved by reaching the rear area."

Su Dingfang spit out the cigarette from his mouth. This thing was also invented by Li Xiang. Now almost everyone has one. For the soldiers, this thing is simply a good partner of the soldiers. Unfortunately, it is too far from the rear. They I don’t dare to smoke it all the time. If I am like the one behind me, there is no problem if I am twenty or thirty in a day.

After receiving the order, the soldiers under his command immediately began to arrest people around them. Every three soldiers formed a group and slowly drove some refugees together. When their right arms were tied, The three horses were pulled back immediately. Regardless of whether you people are willing or not, from now on, either you will work for us honestly, or we will go in with the white knife and come out with the red knife, and arrive at the Palace of Hell. You can only blame yourselves for being unlucky. Who made you roam around on the road in broad daylight? Don’t you know how to hide?

In less than half an hour, more than a thousand people were captured. There is a reason why they did this. On such a hot road, these people are all malnourished. If there are 900 people in the rear, you can directly If 900 people were sent there, only 700 people would arrive.

So in this case, you have to catch more people. If there are attrition in the middle, we will be prepared. If there are 900 people in the rear, we will have to have more than 100 people. , according to the attrition rate of 10%, only in this way can we ensure that there is enough labor force. Of course, this number is not so rigid. If we only send seven or eight hundred people, we can only make these people work more every day. For a period of time, who let the labor force be insufficient?

As for the life and death of these people, I guess no one cares. Anyway, completing our project is the most important thing. If you want to pay attention to human rights, you still have a chance, that is, the Arab Empire's army counterattacks. We After losing a large area of ​​land, you can return to the Arab Empire.

It's just that you people will probably be slaves when you go back. Who told you to serve the Tang army? The Arab Empire has a tradition that no matter what the circumstances, you have to fight to the end. If you have done something for the Tang army, then no matter what your reasons are, you are a traitor to the Arab Empire. Either I'll kill you on the spot, or I'll be a slave for the rest of my life.

It is precisely because of this that when some people work for the Tang Dynasty, their hearts are already dead. They know that they will never be free in this life. They can only work hard for the Tang army and wait until the Tang Dynasty. When they really win, maybe they can take some advantage. As for going back, they don't even dare to think about it.

The officials in the rear also discovered this. They wondered, why didn't anyone escape? You must know that prisoners of war in other countries have escaped. Later they figured out that there were two main reasons.

On the one hand, it is naturally the policy of the Arab Empire. You have been captured by the Tang Dynasty army, and there will be no good fruits for you to eat after you return, so these people are instinctively unwilling to escape.

The second aspect is the surrounding natural environment. The nearest Arab cities are more than five hundred miles away. Without transportation and water sources, it is impossible for anyone to move forward in a temperature of more than 30 degrees. If you walk more than five hundred miles, you may get lost. Once you get lost, it will be great fun. There are countless kinds of animals in the desert that want to eat you, and in the end there will not even be any bones left.

So after these people were sent to the rear, they immediately gave up the idea of ​​​​escape and worked honestly for the Tang Dynasty court, hoping that one day these generals of the Tang Dynasty would find their conscience and give them a new life.

"General, there is another thing. Three thousand soldiers are coming tonight. According to His Highness's order, we have to withdraw 1,500 veterans. The number of these veterans has not yet been determined for you..."

Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing else going on, the military clerk began to report on some important matters. In addition to the affairs of the 900 workers, the most important thing was the rotation on the battlefield.

According to His Highness's rotation strategy, every time 3,000 people come, 1,500 veterans will retreat that day, and another 1,500 veterans will retreat a week later. This week is to allow These three thousand recruits have adapted.

Of course, these people are not new soldiers. They are called new soldiers just because they have not fought around here. In fact, they have experience in other places. This is also done to prevent the army from being too tired. Every two months Just rotate it.

Of course, under such rotation, it cannot affect the combat effectiveness of the front line. Although we do not have large-scale wars now, small-scale wars test personal abilities more. Once the combat effectiveness of a certain army declines, it will have a negative impact on the entire Tang Dynasty. Nothing good comes of it, so in this case, it's best to rotate carefully.

"The people from Kuizi Camp will go back first. The last time they attacked the city, they suffered relatively heavy losses. This time, let them go back with two thousand people at a time. I will personally write a letter to His Highness. This army can be said to be The ace on the battlefield.”

Su Dingfang thought of his confidants. Although Su Dingfang might have a weaker grasp of the battlefield after they returned, this army had been fighting with Su Dingfang for many years. Especially when they attacked the city last time, eight thousand Arab cavalrymen appeared from nowhere. When these people raised their scimitars, Su Dingfang only had one thousand soldiers left.

It would be a very deadly thing for anyone to fight against eight thousand charging Arab cavalrymen with only one thousand soldiers, but the people of Kuiziying insisted on holding on, and the casualties did not exceed 20%. If it were not for the real ace, they might have wet their pants at that time. Many people did not even look at the momentum of the Arab cavalry's charge, let alone fight.

Su Dingfang favored his confidants so much that no one in the barracks could say anything. If it were not for them last time, I am afraid Su Dingfang would be in danger. (End of this chapter)
