"run…"
Raff only said this one word and immediately started running with his men. There was no other way now. If they continued to stay here, they would most likely be overwhelmed by refugees. Once such a thing happened, I'm afraid no one would be able to continue to hold on.
The soldiers around also noticed that the look in the eyes of many refugees was not fear, but hatred. If they continued to stay here, it was hard to believe that they could hold on. They also heard some rumors that the refugees were actually very strong. If they wanted to resist, the army's combat effectiveness would not even be able to match them.
Although the army is organized, they will not really fight to the death. But these refugees are different. They have reached the last moment, and now they are not even given a shaded place. They are forced to walk north under such a scorching sun without enough water, which is tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
Since they were going to die anyway, they might as well fight these armies. They had come all the way from the north and had no idea how many armies they had fought with. If they could defeat them, they would kill them. If they couldn't, they would naturally run away. They had also gained experience through fighting.
Sambik felt it was absurd that the army of the Arab Empire was killed by refugees, but Raf thought it was normal. There were tens of thousands of refugees here, and we only had a few hundred people. If we could intimidate these people by killing them, then our mission would be easy to accomplish. But if we couldn't deter them, then we could only find a way to escape.
It was obvious that the only thing we could do now was to run for our lives. If we didn't hurry up and escape, there would be no way to say what would happen. Although the refugees had no weapons, they had come all the way from the north, and quite a few had died at their hands. Many of them still had some unchewed meat in their mouths, and no one knew what was going on with the meat. They could even do such a disgusting thing, so was killing a few people a big deal to them?
Some soldiers even used the imperial laws to demand them, which is simply nonsense. If these people were really afraid of the law, they would not have reached this point. Many people still have complaints in their hearts. If it were not for the wrong policies of the Arab Empire, how could they have reached this point?
Facts have proved that Raf's strategy was correct. If they had stayed where they were, they might have been torn to pieces. Although the refugees did not have much strength, they were numerous, tens of thousands of people. Although they did not know the reason for the conflict with the soldiers, they understood one thing: as long as someone died around here, they would be able to hold on for a while.
There were a few soldiers who ran slower, but they might not have the chance to stand up again. As long as someone fell, he would be immediately overwhelmed by the tide of refugees. The soldiers overwhelmed by the tide of refugees might not want to live in this life. The refugees did not have any sharp weapons in their hands, so it would be too painful to kill someone.
At this time, Sambik could no longer take care of his animals and could only run as fast as he could. If he didn't run, the people behind him would be his example. Now he couldn't think about the so-called struggle for power. If it weren't for Laf, he would probably have been torn to pieces by those people.
Raf appeared to be very calm on the surface, but when he saw the miserable condition of the people behind him, he wanted to vomit. Fortunately, he ran faster and forced himself to suppress the feeling. There were hundreds of people when they came here, but he didn't expect that they would be lost in the refugee camp.
When they ran to the first support point, they found that the officers here were nowhere to be found. When the refugee camp rioted just now, dozens of cavalrymen here immediately filled up the camp, but they did not go to support Raff and the others, but instead rushed towards the main camp.
These people all came from the northern battlefield. Don't be superstitious about the battle ratio between the regular army and the refugees. If they really crossed each other, the regular army would be the one that suffered the most defeat. This is mainly because the refugees dared to risk their lives, and the regular army was not yet prepared, especially the group that had just been recruited. They did not think that the refugees were such a big threat. Now that such a situation has happened, they really feel helpless.
After returning to the barracks, Sambik was not criticized by his superiors. Such things have happened too many times in the north. If you criticize your soldiers in this situation, you are going too far. The pressure on the soldiers is already high. If the soldiers are allowed to get over it, someone may wave his scimitar and do something deadly in the barracks.
Such things have happened several times in the northern military camps. Those people killed their friends and even their generals without any care, because they were a little overwhelmed and didn't understand why they appeared on such a battlefield, so they had only one idea, which was to kill all the people in front of them.
After returning to their tent, it took Raf and Sambik a long time to calm down. They remembered another terrible thing, that is, from here to the north, there are said to be more and more refugees on the road, and most of the cities in the north have fallen. If you live in a tribe in the wild, then at least you still have a chance, but if you live in a city, most people will become refugees.
Of course, it’s not that they are willing to become refugees. The main reason is that they have no way to escape. When the Tang army breaks through a city, they will first let the original refugees rush in. These refugees are like the imperial city, eating everything they see and looting everything they see. The original residents in the city are not refugees themselves, but after being harmed by these refugees for a while, they can only choose to become refugees.
For the entire Arab Empire, the refugee issue is now of vital importance. If a proper solution cannot be found, no one will be able to persevere. No matter what policies the Arab Empire has, they must now face all of this correctly, including Marshal Sukhguman. If the refugee issue cannot be resolved, there is no need to talk about the Tang Dynasty.
