It was obvious that the soldiers under his command did not have enough fun fighting. In fact, judging from the current battlefield, most of them were trampled to death by each other, which has little to do with us. I originally thought that after the last war, the army of the Arab Empire had been prepared, but now it seems that they were prepared for nothing.
Of course, we should not blame the high-ranking officials of the Arab Empire. We should thank them very much. If they had not blocked the news, how could we have defeated these three thousand-man teams so easily?
The people in the reconnaissance department are also reviewing. Based on their estimation in the air just now, they thought that these troops must have at least 40,000 people, but they didn't expect that there was still a shortage of more than 10,000 people. It seems that they have to learn a lesson in the future. Otherwise, if a random report is short of more than 10,000 people, it will give our generals wrong instructions, and then affect the battle situation of the entire army. Fortunately, there is not much difference between 30,000 and 40,000 people, and we can handle it.
After receiving Li Chengyi's order, the army quickly began to gather the prisoners. Of course, you can be slower. Many soldiers started counting down. If you are slower, we will kill people immediately. The language between the two sides may not be understood, but the killing action can be seen very clearly.
In this area, two Tang Dynasty soldiers were holding crossbows and directing them to gather at a place. If they saw anyone not moving, they would whip them at the very least, or shoot them with an arrow at the worst. As for whether they could survive, that was their own business.
Although prisoners of war are very valuable and can provide a large amount of labor for the Tang Dynasty, but then again, if it affects the outcome of the entire war, we will not care about the life and death of you prisoners of war. Just look at the actions of the soldiers' hands now, they should have been educated in their daily lives.
The Arab Empire soldiers, feeling the pain, flew to the location designated by the Tang army, took the ropes from the Tang army, tied themselves and their comrades together, and formed teams of more than ten to twenty people, walking obediently to the rear.
Of course, there were also some dishonest ones among them. They were beheaded on the spot, and the remaining nine people had to drag their bodies forward. If the Tang Dynasty soldier showed mercy, he could saw off your arm with one knife, so they wouldn't have to drag their bodies forward.
Many soldiers of the Arab Empire will not be merciful now. In order to avoid dragging a corpse, they have to find ways to untie the dead man from the rope. Although they all belonged to the same camp before and covered each other on the battlefield, now nine people are dragging the corpse of one person, which will increase their weight for no reason.
Under normal circumstances, adding more than ten pounds of weight to a person's load would not be a big deal for them, but in such high temperatures, and with no certainty of when there would be water, adding more than ten pounds of weight would almost cost them their lives. For the sake of themselves and the living people around them, they could only abandon these so-called comrades here. Perhaps the Lord would blame us, but then again, who would complain about having too long a life?
Before the war began, many soldiers were still wondering how many Tang soldiers they could capture and how many slaves they could take home. If they were lucky, they might even be able to rob a lot of wealth.
Looking back on those thoughts back then, they were simply ridiculous. How could you possibly defeat the Tang soldiers? Look at the command and combat capabilities of the Tang soldiers. Not only were they not on the same level as us, they were far superior. Under such circumstances, you still thought you could defeat them. Not only did you have your head in your ass, you were completely clueless.
The number of five hundred soldiers was still too few, and finally more than three hundred lightly wounded were found. After being bandaged, these people were still able to exert eighty percent of their original combat effectiveness. So these people looked at the huge number of prisoners of war. A total of eight hundred Tang Dynasty soldiers looked at more than seventeen thousand prisoners of war.
As for the wounded among the Arab Empire soldiers, if you can still walk, we will give you a chance, but if you are seriously injured, we will leave you here. This is also a mercy to you seriously injured soldiers.
However, many seriously injured soldiers cried and shouted to follow the Tang army, because they knew very well that if they were injured in such a situation, scorpions in the desert would soon come out. Under the influence of blood, these scorpions and man-eating ants would eat them until there was nothing left. So they hoped that the Tang army could take them away. Unfortunately, the Tang army does not want useless people. Since you people can't do any work, why should we bring you along?
Li Chengyi gathered the remaining soldiers and checked his stock of gunpowder. Fortunately, he brought an extra batch with him when he went out. Otherwise, even if we knew where the enemy's camp was, we would not be able to pose any threat to them.
"General, this man is a general from the Arab Empire, the general of the second group of troops that appeared before us. His name is Ibdul."
Next to Li Chengyi, Ibdul, who was slightly injured, was pulled over. This guy had just been scratched on the arm by shrapnel, and was later whipped twice by the Tang Dynasty soldiers. It was discovered that this guy had very poor physical strength. After repeated questioning, it was discovered that he was a general of the Arab Empire.
"Don't expect to get anything out of me. Just kill me now. I will never betray the great Arab Caliph, nor will I give any guidance to you infidels. If you expect to get any information from me, forget it."
Ibdul sneered and felt proud of what he was thinking. He felt that the Tang army might publicly execute him. If that happened, although he would lose his own life, his family would definitely be able to live a good life.
Unfortunately, Li Chengyi did not think of killing this man, but instead asked someone to bring him to his side to let him see how much stronger the real Tang army was than the army of the Arab Empire. Of course, with this change, this guy might become Li Chengyi's military advisor.
There is a great deal of probability involved. If you succeed, you will have an extra military advisor. If you fail, it will be just a waste of your time.
