It is not very far from Malava City to Ujrayana City, and the cavalry can reach it in about three days.
A few miles away, he used a drone to watch the Arab army leave the city of Urayana and retreat towards the city of Malwa. Tang Ping exclaimed: "Fan Guogong is really good at predicting events!"
As soon as he discovered that the Arab army was gathering and advancing toward the southwest, Duan Zhixuan made a plan to burn the city of Urayana.
The harassment along the way was not only to collect flammable materials for them to put into the city of Urayana, but also to consume the supplies of the Arab army.
The number of raids every day and how far the Arab army could advance were all part of Duan Zhixuan's calculations, which also allowed Tang Ping to once again see the power of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.
It can be said that the Arab army was like a puppet on strings from the beginning, and the person who controlled them was Duan Zhixuan, their enemy.
The exhausted Arab army entering the city at night was the most critical step in the plan. When Tang Ping and the others saw this Arab army entering the city at night as Duan Zhixuan had planned, they knew they were doomed.
What happened next was too simple, just let the dozens of Tang soldiers who were ambushing the city of Wu Jayana set fire to it.
But now, the Arab army is advancing towards Malava, still under Duan Zhixuan's plan. There is still a big gift waiting for them in Malava City.
Tang Ping looked at the Arab army and said with a smile: "There is actually good news and bad news for them now. It's a pity that I can't tell them."
"What's the bad news?" Gou Shaoqun asked Tang Ping from the side.
"The bad news, of course, is that they've run out of food and will soon be hungry."
"What's the good news?"
"The good news is that they finally don't have to protect food and grass and can move forward at full speed."
"Brother Ping, you are too damaged!"
Fortunately, Rashid couldn't hear what Tang Ping and the others said now, otherwise his lungs would have exploded with anger.
Along the way, those Datang troops seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Rashid carefully guarded against the Tang army, but it was of no use if his string collapsed tightly.
After three days of rapid march, Rashid's army arrived outside Malwa City again.
"General Rashid, there is no one in Malava City... there is no one inside!" a general said, even he was a little scared.
A few days ago, because of an empty city, their army of more than 100,000 was reduced by almost a quarter, and almost all of their food and grass were lost.
Now another empty city was placed in front of them.
Many generals even felt that such an empty city was more terrifying than the fortified city tightly guarded by the Tang army.
"Send someone in and investigate carefully." Rashid ordered.
I have to enter this city. Is it possible to camp outside without entering?
After sending a full 10,000 troops into the city, Rashid led the remaining people to surround Malwa City and waited nervously.
"General Rashid, we have already checked it out. There is indeed no one inside, and there are no flammable objects or anything like that. That's..."
"What is that?" Rashid frowned. The last general who told him that the city of Urayana was empty was also lucky that he died in the fire in the city, otherwise he would not let him go.
"All the wooden things are gone!" The general said with a strange expression: "And there are still some supplies in the city, as well as some words left for you."
"Are there any supplies?" Rashid thought for a moment and ordered: "Enter the city!"
Since there were no flammable objects in the city, not even wooden things, he was not afraid of the Tang army setting fire to it.
He was really scared of the fire a few days ago.
After entering the city, we can indeed see that many houses have even their beams demolished, and there is no furniture in the houses.
There is indeed nothing combustible left in the city.
Walking to the middle of the city, there were a lot of things piled up, and there was a big stone next to it, with some words written in ugly Arabic characters on it.
Rashid had difficulty identifying what was written on it.
"Hello General Arab, are you wondering why there is not even a single piece of wood in this city? That's because I dismantled them all and sent them to Urayana City!"
"How's it going? Are you angry when you hear this news? But the good news is that you don't have to worry about being burned in Malava City."
"Besides, I left some food for everyone in the city. After all, we Tang people don't want you to be so barbaric, and we still know how to treat guests."
"Please feel free to enjoy the food we left behind. I swear in the name of Duke Fan of the Tang Dynasty that these foods are absolutely non-toxic and healthy - Yours sincerely, Duke Ping of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Damn it!" Rashid shouted angrily. In his opinion, this was the naked humiliation of them by this man named Ping Guogong.
He actually told them that all the wood here was used to burn them in the previous city.
Also send some supplies!
If he hadn't set fire to the city of Ujaya so despicably and shamelessly, would he be in such a mess?
"Give me all of these..." Youxin wanted to say burn them all.
But think about the fact that the nearly 100,000 troops under his command have all run out of food and grass. If they burn these, everyone will be hungry in the next few days.
And in that case, they might not have enough time to reach the nearest Arab-controlled city and would starve to death on the way.
So even though he knew it was humiliating him, Rashid could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and had to admit it.
Of course, he didn't believe it at all when Ping Guogong said it was non-toxic and healthy.
These people of the Tang Dynasty were too cunning, so he called a group of slave soldiers to come out, randomly selected many portions of the grain and grass, and made them into food for them to eat first.
After waiting for about an hour, I found that they had no symptoms, so I felt relieved and asked people to pack up the scattered food and grass and take them away.
He didn't know why the Tang Dynasty people were so kind to give him food again, but the situation forced him to accept it.
When the Arab army finished all this, it was dark again.
Marching at night was impossible, and Rashid, who was still frightened, was still worried even though there was no flammable material in the entire city.
Therefore, not only many defenders were posted on the city wall, but many patrol teams were also deployed in the city.
I have made up my mind to take all the troops to the southeast early tomorrow morning after tonight is over.
Although the Arab army in central Tianzhu was transferred to support the east, there were still so many people in those cities.
At worst, they can just steal the food from the people of Tianzhu.
