Chapter 1618 Retreat?

Suhe Guman looked at his men with strange eyes, a little unable to believe all this. You must know that the Tang army is only five hundred miles away from their capital. As long as they work harder, they can even find an opening to attack. In the past, you must know that their place was different from the Tang Dynasty. There were empty deserts everywhere, and there was still a chance of rushing through.

Why was the Caliph so angry? Isn't it just because he was afraid that when he opened his eyes, the Tang army would arrive directly under the city gate, then they would be really doomed. Now they have retreated. Suheguman can't believe it. Seeing the victory, It's time to get it. The generals of the Tang Dynasty are not fools. He has fought with those people. How could he retreat?

"Send more spies to have a look. We must get accurate information. Before we get accurate information, we must strictly block this information and cannot send it back to the rear."

Sukhguman said doubtfully that bad news cannot be sent back, and good news that has not been certified cannot be sent back. If a big mistake is made by then, the following people will certainly be punished. He He will also be unlucky.

After one of his generals received the order, he immediately sent more spies to explore further north to see where the Tang army had withdrawn. You must know that the mobility of the Tang army, although it could not keep up with the Arabs, The army, but if it only retreats a hundred or two hundred miles, it will not be of much use at all, and it may come back at any time.

"What do you think the Tang army means?"

Sukhguman is not in a hurry now. Driving away the refugees is just a way to prevent them from harassing the royal capital. But the most important thing is the Tang army. What the Caliph fears is the Tang army. Once the refugees take over the royal capital, If things got messed up and the Tang army followed, then the Arab Empire might have to move its capital.

Now there are only these refugees left. No matter how capable they are, they cannot mess up the Arab Empire. We have various ways to deal with these refugees. But is the Tang army really retreating or pretending to retreat? Soho Guman is not sure yet.

"Based on the analysis below, the Tang army should have really retreated, and the retreat distance was not close. They have been away from their hinterland for a long time. Their gunpowder replenishment was not too timely. If there is no gunpowder, , they are no match for us in a place like this, and with our army gathering, they should be afraid of being surrounded. After all, they are on our territory, and fighting deep into our country's borders is also dangerous for them. matter."

The military counselor's brain was still good enough, and he quickly analyzed what was going on. In fact, when the army had just been assembled, he thought that this kind of thing might happen. If all this really became a reality, all of them would People can also breathe a sigh of relief.

The Tang army forced them too hard. From the caliph to the ordinary soldiers, almost everyone didn't know how to deal with it. The Arab Empire had been fighting for many years and wiped out all the city-states on both sides of the Mediterranean. They I have also gained my own self-confidence, but since the battle with the Tang Dynasty army, it seems that I have never won a victory, let alone an overwhelming victory. I have never seen any ordinary victory. All I have heard is our losses. Tragic news, so when they heard the name of the Tang Army, they unnaturally felt scared.

"What you said makes sense. Wait for the spies to come back and immediately write a memorial to the capital to let the people in the capital breathe a sigh of relief. If I am not wrong, many people in the capital have already started to pack their things. "They are the only ones who will not resist the Tang army. Only those of us are fighting on the front line. They should be thinking of retreating to the south."

Sukhguman said with twinkling eyes. In fact, let alone others, even he himself had made preparations. His two sons had left the capital of the Arabian Empire and headed to the Nile River, which was very far away from the capital of the Arabian Empire. It's far away, and the agriculture is good. If you can settle down there, it's a good place. It's much better than staying here to fight in the war.

The military advisor naturally knew this. When he heard Sukhguman say this, he also casually echoed a few words. You have done this yourself, and you still have the nerve to criticize others. The top leaders of the Arab Empire are like you. Why? Can it defeat the Tang Empire?

In the middle of the night, all the scouts came back. They had searched hundreds of miles to the north. Except for a large number of refugees, they did not find any trace of the Tang army. In the temporary camp, they found various types of materials that had been burned. It seemed that the Tang army was in a hurry to retreat this time and did not bring back many things.

"This must be a harmful strategy to lure the enemy. They asked me to lead the army to catch up in this way. They really underestimated me. Give me the order. The armies immediately dispersed and attacked the surrounding refugees. Expulsion, no matter what method is used, cannot allow them to go to the royal capital, or even allow them to move south. "

Sukh Guman immediately became happy. He thought he had seen Li Xiang's plan. Your retreat to the north is just to induce me to follow you, and then go to a place close to you for a decisive battle. I just don't believe this. Xie, I won’t be fooled by you at all. I’d better resolve the refugee issue first. This is the sword hanging over my head.

When Su Dingfang and Cheng Chuliang retreated, they still left some spies along the way. When the two retreated to a place a thousand miles away, five days had passed. Everyone was exhausted and they also received reports from the spies at the front.

"This guy didn't catch up. Doesn't he want to annihilate us?"

Cheng Chuliang said in a strange way. Generally, when seeing the enemy retreat, two armies must be sent to pursue them. Even if they are not really pursuing, it is still possible to use them. But from the current situation, it seems that the other party has no intention of pursuing.

"Forget it, look at the refugees in the Arab Empire. Even if we don't attack, these refugees alone are enough to make them drink a pot. But what is your highness thinking? This opportunity is rare."

Su Dingfang looked at the sky in the north and said, counting the days, your highness should also set off... (End of this chapter)
