Fakhr al-Din led the army eastward, but the further he went, the more he felt something was wrong.
Because gradually more and more Arab troops were defeated on the road.
I grabbed a few and asked them, but they all said that they were besieged by the Tang army for a period of time and then finally broke out.
I asked them how many people there were in the east of the Tang Dynasty, but few of them could explain clearly.
"No, we can't leave anymore!" Fakhrdin ordered decisively.
The war situation in the east is strange. The Arab soldiers who have retreated now do not even know how many people there are in the entire east of the Tang Dynasty.
He stopped advancing in Pingqiluo City. At this time, if the Arab army's battle in the east was unfavorable, he could lead his people to withdraw westward to the Arab Empire.
And based on his intuition, he felt that Arum was probably no match for Datang.
Before that night's defense battle, Datang's main player was a weak player.
To say that the Tang Dynasty was weak, it had an army of more than 100 or 200,000 people playing around.
I'd say he's strong, but he never fights head-on.
However, the siege battle resulted in a loss ratio of one to three, which made Fakhr al-Din worried about this war.
Now that the regiments in western and northern Tianzhu have basically been wiped out, it may be difficult for the armies in central and eastern Tianzhu to defeat Datang.
He came here to reinforce Arum, to perform meritorious service and not to die.
Stationed in Pingqiluo City, Fakhr al-Din sent a large number of scouts to the north and east.
You must understand the situation of the battle now before making a decision.
On the contrary, there was only Duan Zhixuan's surrounded remnant army in the west. If he wanted to return to the Arab Empire, he felt that those remnants would not cause too much trouble.
This is indeed the case. Although nearly ten thousand people broke through the siege in the end, almost all of them suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Especially Duan Zhixuan, as the commander-in-chief, was seriously injured.
Li Shan tilted his head and asked Tang Ping to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
For five days, Duan Zhixuan just breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Ping could take Duan Zhixuan to modern times, where there are better medical conditions and doctors.
But the problem is that Duan Zhixuan is always in danger now and no one dares to touch him.
Li Shan worked almost sleeplessly to maintain his life.
"Phew, the vital signs are stable now." After carefully suturing the wound, Li Shan said to Tang Ping, "Send us back with him."
He and Gou Shaoqun are really useless in this disadvantageous situation, so it is better to return to modern times first.
Tang Ping nodded and told Duan Zan not to worry too much. Now that Duan Zhixuan was seriously injured, the commanding responsibility would be handed over to him.
After sending several people back to modern times, the ambulance from Gou Shaoqun's home hospital came directly to pick them up.
"Brother Ping, be careful." The two of them said to Tang Ping as they got into the car.
"Don't worry, I guess General Li Jing will also have to deal with the opponent. The war in Tianzhu will be over soon."
"Call us when you reach the Arab Empire!"
Tang Ping sent the two of them away. With them helping to look after Duan Zhixuan, he felt more at ease.
After returning to Tianzhu, Duan Zan came over.
"Don't worry!" Tang Ping patted him on the shoulder: "The medical conditions over there are much better than here. If there is a place where you can save your father, it must be over there."
Duan Zan nodded: "Thank you, Duke Ping!"
Tang Ping punched his chest: "Don't you and Cheng Chumo and those idiots call me Brother Ping on weekdays? Well, cheer up, now more than ten thousand of us have to rely on your command."
Tang Ping can come up with ideas on the side, but if he rushes into battle to kill the enemy or defend the city, he has to rely on Duan Zan.
Duan Zan thought for a while and said: "Fakhr al-Din and his army should have passed through Pingqiluo City now. I just don't know if they have merged with the Arab army in the east. But now our Tang Dynasty's army entering Tianzhu from the north should be Their northern legions have also been defeated and are joining together towards the east.”
"It stands to reason that we should return to the Viramala City area and cut off their retreat route, but now there are thousands of wounded soldiers in Viramala City plus thousands of Arab troops. Based on the current situation of our army, I am afraid it will be very serious. It’s hard to get it back.”
He opened the map, looked at it, then pointed to a city in the middle and said: "Kosaro City, let's go to Kosaro City! This is the center of Tianzhu. If the eastern part of the Arab Empire is defeated, they will also be in trouble when they retreat. The probability will pass here, and we can intercept it in this area."
Now their force is no longer capable of completing the blockade in the Viramala City area, and it also needs repairs, so they can only choose Kosala City.
"Yes, General Duan!" Tang Ping smiled and gave a military salute, which finally made Duan Zan laugh.
The injured soldiers here were all treated, but the injuries would definitely not heal in a day or two. Everyone supported each other, and the seriously injured ones were put on carts and arrived at Kosaro City not far away.
All the defenders here were transferred out. When Tang Ping and the others entered the city, the Tianzhu people were still cautious, but after learning that they were the Tang army, they immediately cheered again.
Soon Tang Ping met two old acquaintances - Raja Sri and Zhen Yougan.
Tang Ping said with a smile: "They say a bad guy can live for a thousand years, but you have a tough life."
Zhen Yougan touched a deep scar on his face and said with a smile: "That's true, but I think you are about the same. When you entered the city just now, you were almost all wounded. Why, you lost the battle?"
"Shit!" Tang Ping said angrily: "We have more than 20,000 troops along the way, and we have almost wiped out the 200,000 troops of the Arab Empire!"
It's okay to make fun of yourself, but it's not okay to talk about your team.
Zhen Yougan didn't expect Tang Ping to have such a brilliant record. He also knew that Tang Ping would not lie to others about such a thing, so he couldn't help but said in awe: "The Tang Ping Army is indeed the strongest army in the world!"
He had personally led a battle against the Arab Empire and knew how powerful the Arab army was.
Although Tang Ping and the others were certainly not facing the enemy head-on, the fact that they were able to destroy 200,000 Arab Empire troops was enough to show how powerful or great their Tang expeditionary force was.
"What about you? Is there any news from the east?" Tang Ping asked.
The two looked at each other, and Zhen Yougan sighed and said: "Whether it was in East Vietnam or the Wei Dynasty established by my family..."
"Shit, your family founded the Wei Dynasty? That was usurped from my father-in-law!" Tang Ping said arrogantly.
Zhen Yougan rolled his eyes at him. The two of them had long since forgotten their grudges. They just refused to admit defeat. Now it was rare for him to argue with Tang Ping. He continued: "Anyway, the general who said that he used his troops like a god There are so many, but compared with Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty, he is really as childish."
