When someone proposed this idea, General Sukhgum was also there. He even thought that this should be feasible, but when he saw the great Caliph's expression, this guy didn't dare to say a word.
In this country where politics and religion are combined, the great caliph is the supreme ruler. If you dare to raise objections, no matter whether you are a general on an expedition or an ordinary soldier, you may be replaced at any time and you will not be given a chance to turn things around. Even if you become an ordinary citizen, you will not be able to survive in such a country.
General Sukhguman understood this, so he didn't dare to speak carelessly in such a situation. Even if he knew that the strategy was correct, he couldn't do it. After all, we are now strong in both military and military, with hundreds of thousands of scimitar cavalry. Can't we defeat the Tang army?
"General, our spies in the Andong Governor's Mansion have reported back that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty has arrived and has already begun preparing his troops for war."
Just as the general was looking at the army stretching for dozens of miles, his subordinates also brought him an urgent military intelligence. This urgent military intelligence had been on the road for nearly two months, which was more than twice as slow as the speed of the Tang army to transmit information.
"Is that the proud son of the Tang Dynasty? Fortunately, he has come. If he hadn't come, those other unknown people would not be worthy of being a match for this general. Order the army to accelerate and reach the Anton Governor's Mansion within one and a half months."
General Sukhguman said very proudly that in his opinion people like Li Xiang were just lucky. Last time they met a bunch of rubbish opponents, so they were able to win against the Arab Empire. This time we have a strong army, and when our soldiers raise their scimitars, that will be the time when the Tang army is defeated.
This guy seemed to have seen the defeat of the Tang army.
He had the same idea as other generals of the Arab Empire. They believed that the timing was wrong last time. As long as they could find the right opportunity, when our soldiers advanced quickly, the Tang army would not be able to stop them no matter what. This had been confirmed on the Western battlefield.
What can those super-powerful heavy cavalry do? They can't catch up with us at all. When they let down their guard, our light cavalry will immediately turn around and kill them. Although our scimitars can't cut through the armor of those heavy cavalry, are all of them heavy cavalry?
We can completely bypass those heavy cavalry and attack their cities and villages. This is also an important reason why General Suhoguman won the victory. When they attacked towns and villages, the heavy cavalry could not maintain their original formation. Once a few cracks appeared, the Arab cavalry would immediately rush in and kill them.
The generals below all frowned. The places along the way were quite difficult, either deserts or Gobi Deserts. If we marched too fast, our various supplies might not be able to keep up. This would be a very difficult march.
"General, I know what you're thinking. You might run out of supplies along the way. So, notify the tribes along the way and set a quota for them. If they can't provide it, take them and rob them of everything they have. Make sure to ensure the army's needs. If anyone refuses, they're defying the will of the great Caliph, and you can simply chop off their heads."
I don’t know how good General Sukhguman is at fighting, but this guy is very good at putting hats on others.
"yes…"
The people present could only obey the orders helplessly. They also knew the character of this great general. In this situation, everyone was mobilized. Either you obey his orders honestly, or you get out of his army. Such things have happened before. He doesn't care about how ordinary people live. He only cares about whether he can win. For the victory in his heart, anyone can be sacrificed. Otherwise, how can he achieve victory on the Western battlefield?
In that war, the Westerners suffered more than 20,000 casualties, but his army suffered more than 30,000 casualties. However, because they looted more gold, silver and treasures, the great Caliph regarded it as the winner. In fact, there was no difference between the two sides. From a strategic point of view, we did not seize any land of others, so it should be the Arab Empire that was defeated.
But with so much gold and silver, the people of the Arab capital praised this great general as a god of war who had fallen from the sky. Who dared to say anything? If you dared to say anything, the officials of the Arab Empire would label you a traitor.
Under the flattery of officials from all walks of life, the general himself became a little bit arrogant. When facing the army of the Tang Empire, he still had the same idea as before. No matter how many casualties there were, as long as he could rob along the way, he could just come back and tell stories. Anyway, the people in the capital were too far away from the front, and they could not investigate. The target of this battle was the area of the Anton Governor's Office. Couldn't hundreds of thousands of troops take back the original land?
He even had an idea in his mind that if he could not defeat the Tang army, he could negotiate with the Tang army.
As long as the Tang army can return the land of the former Anton Governor's Office to them and let him come back to give an explanation to the great Caliph, he can give some credit to the Tang general. Both sides will achieve their respective goals and return to report to their own monarchs.
Looking at the transport caravan of tens of thousands of camels along the way, General Sukhguman was filled with righteousness.
This is the road to victory. When they come into contact with the Tang army, he will be able to kill all of them. Then he will be the god of war of this country.
Just as he was daydreaming here, a few black dots appeared on the sand dunes next to him. The Tang Dynasty's spies had been organized. They would follow the army all the way. These troops had to report back immediately where they went every day.
The Imperial City Office's secret agents in various locations have been activated, their sole mission being to report the daily progress of the Arab army...
