"Hey!" Tang Ping stood up and stretched.
These Arab armies were indeed very perseverant. They originally thought that after being here for so long, they would not be able to wait any longer and would either rush out or retreat quietly.
Unexpectedly, they are still squatting inside.
The wind is getting stronger at this time. The Indian peninsula originally has a tropical monsoon climate, and the southwest monsoon originating from the Indian Ocean prevails in summer.
The wind was blowing from Tang Ping's temporary camp to the woods.
"Look, look!" Tang Ping pointed to the excrement of the cavalry and horses on the ground, as well as the excrement of the cattle and sheep he brought, and said: "We have to have some quality when we go out. How can we let your What about war horses and livestock defecating everywhere?”
Several coalition generals were confused. The cattle, sheep and war horses would naturally be pulled after eating them. If not, where could they be pulled? Is it possible to wrap them with something?
"Don't be stunned!" Tang Ping looked at them and said, "Take a shovel, shovel all the feces, and burn it on the bonfire."
Now the generals understood and looked at Tang Ping strangely. It turned out that they had only heard that Duke Ping was wilted and bad, but they didn't expect him to be so bad.
How could these nomadic people not know that the smell and smoke would be great when the dung that is not yet dry is burned?
The wind is blowing into the woods over there right now. Doesn't Tang Ping intend to smoke out the people on the other side by doing this?
Just do what you say. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, these coalition troops are all professional soldiers. Many of them are herdsmen and so on, and they work very efficiently.
After a while, horse dung was piled on top of each bonfire and began to burn.
Good guy, so much horse dung burned at the same time, even Tang Ping was shocked.
If you didn't know better and saw it from a distance, you might have thought the forest was on fire.
Thick black smoke began to drift toward the woods. Several coalition soldiers did not run away immediately, and they were smoked to the point where tears flowed from their noses.
"this……"
The Arab soldiers lurking in the forest were stunned.
It's still a familiar smell, not that the smell of horse manure is familiar.
But Tang Ping was familiar with these destructive moves.
This guy probably discovered that they were in the woods a long time ago, so he did it on purpose.
Even if the Arab soldiers all have turbans, they can't withstand such thick smoke.
Everyone coughed and had to retreat.
Fortunately, they knew how to pour water on their headscarves and cover their mouths and noses, but the horses they brought with them couldn't do anything about it.
The sense of smell of animals is much more sensitive than that of humans. This smoke caused those horses hiding in the woods to suffer.
"Let's go around the woods and wait for them in front!"
Taking advantage of the thick smoke, Tang Ping led people directly around to the woods.
This forest is quite big, otherwise we wouldn't be able to hide tens of thousands of Arab soldiers in it.
Tang Ping and the others detoured for a long time before going around. Although they took a detour, the Arab soldiers in the woods were dizzy. In addition, the speed in the woods was naturally not as fast as that in the plains outside, and they just came out of it.
"Fire the arrows!" Tang Ping ordered. The Turks in his coalition army were all good archers. They could even charge at the Arab soldiers and use the speed of their horses to shoot the arrows farther. Then they would immediately turn around and shoot the arrows. Back again.
What was even more despicable was that Tang Ping also asked them to wrap a cloth dipped in kerosene on the arrowhead and light it before shooting it.
The Arab soldiers were blocked at the exit of the woods. Before the cavalry could charge, they were pushed back by the rain of arrows. Then the big trees around them were set on fire again, and they could only flee in panic.
After several rounds of arrows, Tang Ping withdrew directly with his men. The tens of thousands of people ambushed here were not the main force of Fakhr al-Din. Now that they were dispersed by Tang Ping, it would not be so easy to regroup.
Moreover, there was no army in Tianzhu that could accommodate them. They became roving generals and either hid themselves or surrendered to Li Jing's army coming from behind.
We were delayed here for most of the day, and Fakhr al-Din had already run away.
However, after all, the traces of the passing army cannot be erased. Tang Ping and the others only need to follow the traces.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Tang Ping caught up with Fakhr al-Din's army again.
Fakhr al-Din also discovered Tang Ping's army and knew that his army to ambush him had probably failed again. He was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it.
Tang Ping did not go up to attack, but held Fakhr al-Din's army from a distance.
The fastest among the army is the light cavalry, while the speed of the baggage is relatively much slower.
It was a long way back to Arabia, and it was impossible for Fakhr al-Din to leave the baggage behind. After being overtaken by Tang Ping, he could only protect the baggage while walking, and his speed was slowed down.
It's not like every army drives a large number of cattle and sheep into battle like the Turks, and the food itself has four legs that can run.
Moreover, they couldn't go in to grab food when they encountered a city along the way. Once they planned to enter the city, Tang Ping and the others would press forward.
Although there were slightly more people than Tang Ping, Fakhrdin did not dare to fight with Tang Ping. Everyone knew how many Tang Ping troops were coming towards them?
Fakhr al-Din could only ask his men to save food and then flee westward.
The army's rations gradually changed from two meals a day to three meals every two days, and then to one meal a day.
However, Tang Ping was not a human being, so every now and then he would have a barbecue feast in the upwind area.
Fakhr al-Din almost couldn't help but call his men back to charge several times, but he was finally given up by the many small black pipes in the hands of Tang Ping's army.
Tang Ping, on the other hand, used drones to shout over the Arab army every day that they would treat the prisoners preferentially. As long as they surrendered, they would have one meal of meat every day.
At first, the Arab soldiers were just doubtful, but Tang Ping was so devastated that he directly found a few of his own soldiers to put on the clothes of Arab soldiers and eat barbecue near the Arab army.
While eating here, Tang Ping spread the word there that these were the Arab soldiers who escaped from the military camp and surrendered at night.
Then that night, more than a hundred Arab soldiers wounded the patrol and rushed to Tang Ping to surrender.
So the next day, there were more than a hundred more Arab soldiers eating meat in Tang Ping.
On one side, they were hungry and wondered if they could return to the Arab Empire. On the other side, they were eating meat every meal. More and more Arab soldiers defected.
Many of them are Arab civilians. When they win a war, they are naturally willing to fight. Not only will they have food and salary, but they can also divide the spoils.
But now that they have lost the battle, they just want to live well.
Although Tang Ping's character is not very good, everyone is still willing to take a gamble at this time.
