Chapter 1550 Trampled by one's own people

Thousands of cavalrymen rushed directly into General Ibdul's camp like a whirlwind. This guy's army was originally somewhat organized, but they were rushed by the Tang army in front of them and couldn't find their way.

Just now, they gathered a part of the army and waited for a counterattack later. Unfortunately, there was no need to fight now. When they saw the Tang army coming, they had only one thought in their minds, that is, to seize the time to escape.

The main reason was that there were too many injured people around, and there were wailing everywhere. If we continued to wait here, we would probably be beaten like this by the Tang army. In addition, before the expedition, there were some rumors in the army that they had been defeated once. Although many generals strongly opposed it, from the current situation, it was purely nonsense from those generals.

"Come back, have you forgotten your honor? We are believers of the great true God, no one can defeat us, we want to conquer all the lands of the pagans..."

General Ibdul still wanted to stop his men, but unfortunately he no longer had the ability to do so. Usually his men were very obedient, almost doing whatever they were told to do, but now was not the same time. Everyone was very afraid of death. If they continued like this, the Tang army's swords would come to kill them.

"Quick, look, look..."

Several soldiers pointed at the direction where the Tang army was rushing, and their mouths were a little out of control. From the direction where the Tang army was charging, a large number of bows and arrows were shot out. How could they shoot so many? What on earth were they using? Could they shoot arrows so fast?

In fact, all the people in the first wave of the charge were carrying chain crossbows. The charge of the Tang cavalry was different from that of other countries. We used our chain crossbows to harvest a wave first and kill the outermost army of the enemy. After the army inside saw all this, the fear alone was enough to kill them. No matter what kind of fighting style we used next, we would not encounter too much resistance.

"The gods have blessed them..."

"The real body abandoned us."

I don't know who shouted this sentence, and it soon spread throughout the military camp. General Ibdul didn't know what to say at this moment. Even if the real god appeared at this moment, I'm afraid they wouldn't survive.

In this situation, he could only ride on the camel that could still run next to him, and then follow his men to run south. If he ran like this, he would definitely not get any good results. Maybe he would be beheaded after returning, but then again, would you not be beheaded if you stayed here? Would you have a good start if you stayed here?

They have heard that many people did not go back last time. They were all captured by the Tang army. It is said that these people are doing hard labor in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. They have no time to rest from morning to night, and the supplies are insufficient. When they get sick, they will find a place to throw you there to fend for yourself. They don't want to live such a life, so sometimes they come as fast as they can, and now they have to be faster than when they came.

The cavalry of the Arab Empire once again performed a scene of what it means to be defeated like a mountain. At this moment, many people also want to regain their glory. Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity. When the Tang army rushed over, it was like a flood, and they didn't give them a chance to resist at all.

If many people lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, they can still get through this difficulty, but if you have other ideas, several arrows will pass by in an instant. No one knows how the Tang army plays, but their attack surface is so wide.

As for those who are running away, because of their collision with each other, many people can't run at all. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are wearing armor, but they still catch up with them. The speed of the Arab Empire cavalry is completely abandoned by them.

Li Chengyi watched the battle coldly. Only a few hundred people escaped from the second batch of troops, and the rest were all caught. However, more than a thousand people escaped from the first batch of troops, and the rest were either injured or had no means of transportation.

In such a place, if there are no camels or war horses, it is useless even if you run away. The sun in the sky is so big that it evaporates the water in your body every moment. If there are no war horses or camels, you can only hold on for an hour at most, and you may fall down on the side of the road. When you fall down, I am afraid you will never get up again.

So many people in the first batch of Arab troops lost their camels, and they could only kneel on the spot. This is also a tradition of their fighting. After losing their camels in the desert or wilderness, it means a dead end. Honestly give your life to the true God and let yourself go wherever you want. This is your destiny.

Li Chengyi didn't know what to say to these Arab soldiers kneeling on the ground. Running away was at least an opportunity. Of course, if he also lived in the Arab region, he would naturally understand why these soldiers made such a choice. Running away was just a more painful way to die. If they died of dehydration, it would make them even more uncomfortable. It would be better for them to wait here as prisoners of war. At least they would not die of thirst or heat.

"Report to the general, according to our preliminary investigation, these two teams should be three 10,000-man teams, they are divided into two teams, in addition to more than 4,000 civilians, these people transport various items for the two teams."

After more than an hour of investigation and questioning, we finally figured out these troops. They are the Western Route Army of the Arab Empire, and they are also the fastest in movement. However, they are only half of the Western Route Army. There is another group of troops fifty miles away. Those who ran away just now ran to their camp.

Fifty miles away?

"Pass the order down, tie up all the prisoners for me, leave 500 people to watch them, and shoot anyone who dares to escape. The rest of the people continue to move forward and run a long distance of fifty miles."

Li Chengyi simply looked at the soldiers around him and found that these people still had fighting power. There was no need to continue to rest. We have to continue to do some work. (End of this chapter)
