"What kind of country is the Tang Dynasty?"
"Is the Tang Army actually so powerful?"
In a short period of time, the Arab army, which had lost three major cities in northwest Tianzhu, finally put aside its arrogance and began to face the powerful enemy that appeared in front of them.
Because of the speed of news spreading, they still didn't know that the entire Arab army east of Tianzhu was already at war with the Tang Expeditionary Force.
The Arab Empire general Rashid who is now in Modara has summoned the generals from several nearby cities together.
In front of them were Arab soldiers who had escaped from the captured city.
After listening to the descriptions of the Arab soldiers below, several Arab generals were stunned.
Can you still play like this in a war?
Shouldn't everyone set up a formation, then suppress it with bows and arrows, and then charge into the formation with cavalry?
Isn't it too dirty to pretend to be us Arabs over and over again, tricking our troops into approaching them and then killing them?
"General Rashid, our Arab Empire is a people on horseback. They were defeated one by one because they passively defended the city."
"Yes, when we captured Tianzhu, it was because their troops were dispersed in various cities that we defeated them individually. We can't make the same mistake we made with Tianzhu now."
"We should gather all our forces together now and use our strongest heavy cavalry to defeat them in one fell swoop!"
I learned from those deserters that the Tang army only had more than 20,000 people, and their Arab Empire's army in the northwest region had 100,000 people. In addition, many Tianzhu soldiers were captured and thrown into the slave army. Now the total strength is at least 140,000. Even if the three cities lost about 30,000 people, there would still be a full 100,000 troops.
They firmly believe that if they had not fallen into the Datang Army's conspiracy, then they would not have lost to the Datang Army.
Now, as long as the 100,000-strong army finds the main force of the Tang Army, they will definitely be able to annihilate the opponent.
"So now we have to give up all the cities we occupied?" Rashid asked.
"If we can occupy it once, we can occupy it a second time. And now the Tianzhu people no longer have the strength to occupy the city. If they do, it will only be the Tang Army."
"Wouldn't it be better if the Tang army dared to occupy these cities? These cities would trap them like a cage, and the attacking party would become our powerful Arab Empire."
Although they did not learn the art of war, these Arab generals were not ordinary people. When they discovered that Datang was a powerful enemy, they quickly figured out the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.
Therefore, they have to abandon all the cities they occupied in the northwest region and concentrate their forces to find the main force of the Tang Army.
Rashid was finally persuaded by these generals and made up his mind and said: "In this case, everyone will gather outside Modala City and then head southwest to find the main force of the Tang Army!"
The Arab army plundered all the food and grass in their respective cities, and then swooped towards Urayana in the southwest.
There was no news after the Tang Army captured Wu Jayana. According to their analysis, it should be because the Tang Dynasty only had 25,000 people and they had to divide their forces to defend the three cities they captured, so they were no longer able to attack.
So now it's their turn to teach the Tang Army a lesson.
Four days after setting off and only half way through the journey, Rashid received the news.
Their baggage train at the back was harassed by the Tang cavalry.
The one hundred thousand army naturally had a lot of supplies along the way, so behind the army, there were tens of thousands of slave soldiers and captured Tianzhu young people to help transport food and grass.
As a result, on the way yesterday, a group of about 500 Tang Dynasty cavalry rushed towards them with two rounds of rockets. Although they did not cause too many casualties, they also burned some food and grass.
When the slave army went to chase them, the Tang cavalry had already disappeared.
There were also dozens of Tianzhu young men who took advantage of the chaos and ran away.
Originally, when the Tang cavalry saw the crowds here, they ran away, but in the afternoon they came again.
The difference this time was that two rounds of rockets came first. When the slave army was preparing to chase people over there, a team of 500 cavalry appeared on the other side, and they fired two rounds of rockets again.
Then both Tang cavalrymen ran away.
Rashid also knew the importance of food and grass. Although the Tang cavalry only burned a small amount of food and grass these two times, they did not dare to take it lightly.
Not only did they slow down their advance, they also sent a lot of cavalry to help escort the food and fodder, and also sent a lot of scouts around.
This time nothing happened to the food and grass, but something happened to the scouts.
It was as if they knew the location of every scout. These scouts were patrolling outside and would be surrounded by the Tang army if they ran further.
Others were found inexplicably far away and then fell off their horses and died inexplicably.
In three days, the scouts lost more than fifty people, but they did not bring back any information about the Tang Army.
But when Rashid sent a large group of cavalry to patrol outside, these Datang troops were like mice hiding in a hole, and none of them could be found.
In short, the current Datang Army is like a mosquito in the middle of the night. You can't see it if you turn on the light.
But once you turn off the light, it will keep buzzing in your ear, and even sting you unexpectedly.
The Arab army was furious, but there was no place to vent their anger.
It should have taken half a month to reach Urajana, but after a month of walking, we still haven't reached it yet.
During this period, they also received a military order from Commander Arum, saying that the Arab army was currently fighting the Tang Army in the east, and that all the armies in central Tianzhu would be mobilized to the east to participate in the battle. The few of them in the west and northwest must be guarded. this area.
"Go at full speed tomorrow, and we must arrive at Urayana City before dark!" Rashid ordered: "Let those slaves run faster. We must clear the flies here as soon as possible before we can prepare to support the war in the east."
Arum mobilized all the troops from central Tianzhu to the east, which shows that Datang's strength there is definitely not weak.
As the highest commander in the northwest, he must clear the hidden dangers in the rear for the Arab Empire as soon as possible.
The next day all the Arab armies began to speed up, and it only took one day to reach the city of Urayana and then rest.
Of course, their movements have not escaped the surveillance of Tang Ping and others.
Duan Zhixuan said with some pity: "It's also because we have too few troops. Otherwise, they would have traveled such a long distance to attack the city of Wu Jaya, and their physical strength would be very low. This is a good opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop."
"These Arabs probably know that we are small, so they dare to use all their strength to travel like this. It's okay. Let them have a good rest in Ujayana City tomorrow."
