When everyone wants to escape, comradeship can be completely ignored. If you stop me from escaping now, then you are my enemy.
The generals of both sides were still able to talk amicably here, but for the soldiers below, they no longer had much to talk about, especially the fleeing side. As one arrow was shot, more arrows were also shot out. The defending side was not to be outdone, and more than 400 arrows were shot into their own camp.
The generals on both sides were trying to stop their men, but unfortunately no one listened to them. In this situation, your obstruction is really useless. If we had listened to you, we would have died. On the battlefield, the only option left is to kill the enemy or be killed.
Muhammad had not expected this situation. If they had known the result earlier, they might not have ordered a retreat so hastily.
Now the entire army was on the move. Since there was no regulation on which army should retreat first, everyone was crowding towards the gate. Some people had already destroyed the fence and retreated directly to the south from the breakthrough. Other armies followed suit. After they rushed out of the camp, they only then remembered where to retreat.
It seems that when General Muhammad ordered the retreat, he did not tell us where to retreat. Many people were confused. Why did the general issue such an irresponsible order?
In fact, Muhammad did not want this to happen. When he issued the retreat order, he just wanted all the troops to withdraw a little to the south. As long as they were a certain distance away from the Tang army, they would set up camp immediately. Unfortunately, the generals at that time lost their patience. When his retreat order was issued, these people immediately left the main camp without giving him a chance to say a second word.
At that time, all the Arab generals had only one thought: to leave immediately after returning. If they delayed even a little, all the retreating troops would be squeezed together. Would you be able to leave then? Did you see the formation of the Tang army in the north? Do you want to fight them here?
Almost all the generals held this idea: as long as they could run away from here, they would not have to worry about the rest of the things. If you look at it from a God's perspective, they are right. Those who run slowly will definitely have to stay and fight a decisive battle with the Tang army.
But if you run fast, will you be out of trouble? Right now, all across the southern part of the military camp, the various armies are locked in a chaotic battle. To seize the escape route, they don't care which unit you belong to. If you stand in front and refuse to give way, I'll chop you off with my knife.
Many places were completely impassable, with only a few armies gathered. However, the troops behind them, seeing the large numbers of people gathered, thought there must be an exit ahead. Since you guys aren't leaving, why not just leave? When they killed all their colleagues ahead of them, they realized it was a dead end. But when they turned back and tried to find a new way out, the army from further north pressed forward, mistaking you for a roadblock. As the killing continued, the casualties in the Arab Empire skyrocketed.
Muhammad also wants to escape now, but unfortunately his personal guards have not been able to fight their way out. In the current situation, people everywhere do not recognize their generals, let alone you, the great general.
They came from the west with an army of 80,000 to 90,000, hoping to gain the upper hand. But now, they have lost nearly half of their army. If they do a careful count, it is possible that they have lost two-thirds of their army.
Faced with this situation, Muhammad felt that he might be powerless to turn the tide, so this guy raised his scimitar. He wanted to lead his men to rush north, but when he saw the fireball rising from the north and then looked at his panicked men, he knew that even if he charged north, it would be impossible.
But Xiangnan couldn't run back. If he continued to stalemate like this, he would most likely end up in the Tang army's prisoner-of-war camp, and his family would also be implicated, so this guy put the knife directly on his neck.
"General, you can't!"
The men were also startled and tried to snatch the knife from the guy, but Muhammad just smiled and then slit his throat. In the current situation, this might be the best outcome for him. If he ran back, his whole family might be executed.
Only if he died on the battlefield would the Arab Empire not hold his family accountable and would give them corresponding benefits. Only in this way could his family maintain a good life. Of course, after his death, the entire military camp might become more chaotic, but now that he has lost his life, would he still care about the entire military camp?
Muhammad was a timid and irresponsible man, otherwise he would not have committed suicide under such circumstances. It was indeed very cool for him to leave alone, but he left such a mess to others.
Among these remaining young generals, there are indeed some who can turn the tide, but when Muhammad died, he didn't leave a single word. We are all at the same level, so why should you command me?
Under the influence of this kind of thought, the entire military camp became even more chaotic. Some people even gathered their men together and rushed into the entire camp, hoping to escape. Li Chengyi in the north didn't know what to say. When an army is in chaos, the so-called disciplines of the past are of no use.
Including the Tang army, if the fighting will is destroyed, it will probably be the same. So Li Chengyi also silently remembered in his heart that no matter what happens, the entire army must not be allowed to lose control. Now the Arab Empire army has lost control.
"The musketeers keep on advancing."
Li Chengyi continued to issue orders in the sky. Now the entire Arab Empire's army was in chaos, and the infighting would cause a lot of losses, but Li Chengyi thought it was not enough. He had to let the musketeers continue to advance and let the musketeers inflict more losses on them. Under the threat of the musketeers, the entire camp became a ghost in the desert.
