In fact, this is also a very normal thing. Normally, everyone has a good relationship and can take care of each other. Even when there are sufficient supplies, brotherhood can be developed. However, when supplies are insufficient and everyone is in a life-threatening situation, this kind of feeling is probably relatively weak.
The leaders of the Arab Empire did not want this to happen, but the question was, was there anything they could do to change it? It was obvious that it could not be changed. After the long journey, the logistics lines had basically collapsed.
Not to mention that there are refugees everywhere now, even when the Arab Empire was still strong, they could not supply such a long logistics line. To put it bluntly, war means fighting and robbing at the same time. If they cannot rob, then they can only overcome the difficulties on their own.
Anyway, the top leaders of the Arab Empire don't have much wisdom, and they have always been on the uphill road. As long as we fight bravely, we will have countless people and lands. Although we lost a lot before the war, for them, as long as they can win this war, they will get more replenishment.
Up to now, some people in the high-ranking officials of the Arab Empire are still dreaming. Although their losses in the battle with the Tang army are not a small number, then again, if they can occupy Chang'an City, or other areas of the Tang Empire, then no matter how much they lose, they will have enough money and population to make up for it. At that time, they will be able to see the final victory.
Of course, no one knows whether these people are mentally ill or not. Many people in the Arab Empire are definitely not mentally ill. They believe that they will never see that day, and as long as the Tang army does not take advantage of their weakness to attack their capital, they should burn incense.
Although the Arab Empire's army sent out reconnaissance troops, these people were starving. Even when they arrived at the new campsite, the supplies they received were more than when they were on the journey, but they were still not enough to meet their physical needs.
There were too many dead bodies seen along the way. Those people were trying to show off and did not take their lives seriously, but in the end they would become a pile of bones in the desert. So when these people went out to perform their missions, they certainly knew how to allocate their physical strength.
When the camp couldn't see them, they would find a relatively cool place to rest. The search mission was important, but no matter how important it was, could it be more important than their own lives? We were able to walk thousands of miles from the capital of the Arab Empire and survive. If we hadn't relied on laziness, we would have turned into a dried corpse long ago.
The reconnaissance team leader asked everyone to find a place to rest. When they had just left the Arab Empire's army, the team leader had severely punished such things. Anyone who behaved like this would be severely beaten by him, and even reported to the higher-ups. Even the soldier's family would be implicated.
But now, from the captain to the ordinary soldiers, no one said a word. They all knew what was going on. How much water must have entered their brains to go out and search under the scorching sun? Speaking of water, the water source is not under our control. If you dare to squander the water allocated to you, you are probably not far from death.
Among the patrol team of more than 40 people, only two people took turns standing guard, and the rest of them just lay in the shade, and they didn't even know where they threw their knives. After seeing this scene, the Tang soldiers in the distance could not believe their eyes. You know, they also fought with the people of the Arab Empire. When did the army of the Arab Empire become like this?
"Brother Lu, is there something wrong with my eyes? Is this still the army of the Arab Empire? When they came here earlier, they really came like a gust of wind. If it weren't for the powerful musketeers, you and I wouldn't be able to stand up now. Look at these sickly people, not a single one of them has any strength. If our opponents are like them, we have to hurry up and send reinforcements. We can defeat them in two or three days."
A soldier nearby said somewhat depressedly that they had been training for several months for the battle in front of them. From the recent reconnaissance, there were quite a few people coming from the Arab Empire this time, at least more than 70,000 or 80,000 people. However, they did not expect that after closer reconnaissance, these people were almost the same as the ones in front of them. So what was there to fight?
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. Do you know what their situation is now? What if they trick us? If we take the bait, our lives will be in jeopardy. We have so many brothers back home, and each brother represents a family. You better be careful."
The guy called Big Brother Lu gave him a slap on the head. The Arab Empire is a big country, which is what all the officers told them. So when facing the army of this country, we must never take it lightly. No matter how lazy these people are, we must give 120% of our strength. Otherwise, according to what His Highness said, you may not be able to go back, your wife may become someone else's wife, your children may have a stepfather, and in the end they may end up on the streets.
Although what His Highness said was a bit rude, when this word was passed down from top to bottom, all the soldiers cherished their lives more. You must be brave in battle, but you must also pay attention to these things in normal times.
His Highness also educated the entire army. As long as you follow the procedures completely, use your brain and don't be lazy at any point, then there is a 95% chance that you can survive. As for the remaining 5%, you can only leave it to God.
According to the soldiers' understanding, when we went to the battlefield, the chance of survival or death was at most 50%. But now His Highness has formulated a series of procedures for us. As long as we follow the procedures, the chance of survival can be increased to 95%. This is definitely much higher than before. That's why Brother Lu wants to beat up his men. Have you guys finished the reconnaissance procedure?
The others nodded with lingering fear. This was just one of the search teams. We still had to wait and see for the others...
