Two hundred miles west of Shiguo City
Although the old saying goes, a defeat is like a landslide, but some people still survived and escorted their prince out of the battlefield.
However, because they did not identify the direction well, and given the situation at the time, there was no way to identify the direction, they could only choose to run in the direction where there were no Tang Dynasty troops.
Although everyone escaped with their lives, no one knew where they were now. For these people, looking at the vast desert around them, they really wanted to curse.
Look at His Royal Highness the Prince again. Originally, there was only a black spot on his arm, but now the whole arm has turned black. They have been fighting in various places for many years, so they naturally understand what is going on. He must have been poisoned.
"We can't go on like this. His Royal Highness has fallen into a coma. We must cut off this arm. If he continues to wear it, it will do him no good and may even be life-threatening."
A military doctor whispered that there were not many doctors in their army. This military doctor was brought from Samarkand City mainly to be responsible for the safety of senior bureaucrats. After discussing with several people, he finally came to this conclusion.
"His Royal Highness the Fart Prince is a proud eagle, how could he be missing an arm? If he were to lose an arm, none of us would be able to recover when His Royal Highness the Prince wakes up."
A guard nearby said anxiously that he had followed His Royal Highness the Prince for many years, and if his arm was cut off without his consent, no one would be able to survive in the future.
"Sir, I don't mean to do this. We must first save the prince's life. If he dies, we will all be buried alive. The Tang army has poisoned the arrows."
Other military doctors also came over. In fact, even if you are not a doctor, you can understand what is going on. If it was an ordinary arrow, you only need to treat the wound, but now it has spread from the reconstruction site and even the skin has turned black. If this is not poisoning, what is it?
So in this situation, we must save the prince's life first. If the prince dies, none of us will have a chance to survive. When the prince wakes up, even if he wants to kill us, he will have to think twice, in case he has a change of heart.
So what they are betting on now is the chance to save the prince's life, so that there will be a chance for him to wake up in the future. All of them will have a chance of survival, more or less. But if the prince dies, according to the example of the Arab Empire, let alone the doctors, even the guards around the prince will have no chance of survival.
"How sure are you?"
This personal guard was also smart. If the situation continued to deteriorate, the prince's life might very well be at the hands of Allah.
"After cutting off this arm, there's a 60% chance of survival. But if I don't, tonight..."
The doctor looked at the sun in the sky. If he had to make a decision, it had to be now. If he waited until after dark, the lighting conditions would basically not guarantee success.
"Listen carefully. Your entire family is in Samarkand. Although we have failed, Samarkand is still in our control. If anything happens to the prince, you will die. You should understand what I mean."
Similar threats had been made countless times, and the people around the doctor nodded. They were now trying to save the lives of their entire family. Although the chances were not very high, they had to do so.
After getting the permission of the guards, several doctors looked at each other and then held the prince down. They would feel a piercing pain in a while, but they had to do it. The ashes on the side were also prepared. After the arm was cut off, the ashes would be used to stop the bleeding. Some people also got the hemostatic medicine of the Tang army. Once the arm was cut off, all kinds of things would be thrown on it.
Several guards were staring at them intently from the side. If these people dared to do anything wrong, don't blame us for being rude to them. No one would be alive then.
There are still more than 6,000 defeated soldiers left outside, and some people are running over from all directions, but this is not a good thing, because the logistics of the Arab Empire cannot keep up, and the food they carry is only enough for 3,000 people. The more people come to eat and drink, the stronger the instability will be.
But we can't ask these people to get out now. If we ask them to get out, a conflict may happen right now. So we have to make His Royal Highness wake up quickly. No one below dares to make this decision.
They never dreamed that such a large army would be defeated in just one afternoon. They still didn't know what the situation was with the army in front of them. However, according to Tao Bing, most of the army in front had surrendered, and a small number were scattered in the wilderness, and they were probably in great danger.
In such a harsh natural environment, if you don't have enough supplies, you can only resort to robbery. However, the surrounding towns have strengthened their defenses. If you have more people, you can certainly get the items you need. But if you have fewer people, then you don't know who is the robber and who is the civilian. Maybe those cities have also sent people to search for you.
Every Arab cavalryman is a walking object of wealth. The horse under you, the sword on your body, and even the jeweled ornaments some people wear are all what the people around you need.
After each war, although it has some impact on the surrounding people, if you are brave enough, you can instantly make more money than you can make in ten years. The people in the Western Regions understand this truth, so many tribes have already boldly organized people to come out. What if they get rich overnight?
So for these Arab armies, the people around them who were bullied by them were not easy to deal with. Now they had to hide themselves and not let anyone discover them.
ah…
Prince Salaman finally woke up, and his scream made everyone around him nervous. Although the arm was cut off, if the bleeding could not be stopped, His Royal Highness would probably die here, and none of us would have a good ending.
