It’s different now. No matter how elite the troops around His Royal Highness the Prince are, you can let your own people attack His Royal Highness the Prince’s camp, which saves us a lot of trouble.
This time the battle plan can be said to be very simple. We only need to defeat the strong men selected by the prince. We don't need too many goals. What's more, we don't know much about the Arab army. If we are greedy, we may end up biting off more than we can chew.
It's better to secure the victory first, and deal with the rest slowly. We have plenty of time anyway, and it can be seen from the physical strength of both sides that we have a chance to play with them slowly, but I don't know if these people have the ability to do so.
Prince Landin is also a capable person. During the march, he focused most of his energy on selecting people. As the saying goes, pick the tallest among the short ones. Although the Arab Empire did not equip him with elite troops and all they gave him were some rotten walnuts, for His Royal Highness the Prince, he still has his own abilities and can still form an elite force from these people.
From the day he set out, His Royal Highness the Prince was very clear that this should be his own path to redemption. If he could make it, there would definitely be a new opportunity. If he couldn't, his life would most likely be lost here.
Within the Arab Empire, although he was called His Royal Highness and had no worries about food and drink, he was well aware of his embarrassment, which was that he did not have a good status, especially in politics. After all, he was the son of the former caliph and there was a certain competition between him and the current caliph. It would be impossible for him to be treated well.
Of course, he never complained about the current situation, because if he inherited the position of caliph, the current caliph would not have a good life either. This is all natural. No one will allow someone to threaten his existence. If someone is so stupid, then there is really no way to say anything about this matter.
So in such a situation, he had to survive against all odds. On the surface, he had given up and did nothing along the way, but in fact, he also had a group of followers. When these people first heard about the expedition to the Caspian Sea, most of them ran away immediately. Of course, he was not sad, this was all normal.
His Royal Highness the Prince thought at that time that this could be considered an opportunity for him to screen out his subordinates. If he could screen out all his subordinates, it would be a very good thing. He had already looked down on these people, but he could not find a chance to kick them out. This time these people escaped without permission, which gave him an opportunity.
As for the remaining group of people, they should be considered as his absolute confidants. As long as these people can still unite around him, there is a possibility of turning the situation around. Perhaps for many people, turning the situation around is too difficult, but His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to give it a try.
Therefore, His Royal Highness the Prince was not idle along the way. He asked his men to select the strong and smart ones from the entire military camp. Only by combining these people together can this expedition be victorious. If they still follow the previous way, there is probably no possibility of victory.
Unfortunately, just as these people gathered, the Tang army immediately launched an attack. During the long march, His Royal Highness the Prince could only tell these people that you have been selected by your superiors. When supplies are distributed, you will have 20% more than ordinary soldiers. When the war is about to start, you will be reorganized. You can be said to be the elite of the army.
These chosen people were also very excited. Of course, those empty words were useless. They had experienced life and death many times, so they would not take these empty words seriously even if they were said. However, the extra 20% of supplies every day was a real benefit, so they could hold on. As for the pie that His Royal Highness the Prince painted for them, if it could cure their hunger, they were willing to eat it from morning to night, but if it was useless, it would go in one ear and out the other.
Now, after a few days of settling down, these people have finally been gathered together. Tomorrow, His Royal Highness the Prince will prepare to train them on some tactics of the Tang army. He will let the others be cannon fodder and let these people wait for the opportunity to act. However, he did not expect that before his plan even started, the Tang army had already begun to attack.
His Royal Highness the Prince still wanted to turn the tide at this moment, riding on a camel and waving his sword, but this guy was too weak and had no confidence in the army. Not to mention the elite soldiers who had just been formed, even the guards he brought with him, and even his former confidants, now felt that it was impossible to win.
Everyone originally wanted to take a gamble with him, but the problem was that the gamble had to have a certain chance of winning. If there was no chance at all, it would be tantamount to suicide. Now that they saw the way the Tang army was attacking, more than half of them thought that this was suicide.
No matter how His Royal Highness the Prince restrained his men, the number of people around him began to slowly decrease, and even the most loyal soldiers ran away. If it was a fight with cold weapons, these soldiers would have nothing to be afraid of, and at most they would just fight the enemy. But in this situation, you haven't even seen the other party's face, and your whole body is already burned.
Moreover, the Tang army had appeared in the distance. With the help of the bright moonlight, one could see how elite the Tang army was. The armor was really amazing. They had seen this kind of thing on the European continent. Although they relied on speed and mobility to defeat the cavalry of those countries, facing the Tang army, and looking at their chaotic military camp, they really did not have that confidence.
Some veterans who had escaped earlier said that no matter how elite you are or how confident you are, when facing the Tang army, they will destroy your confidence bit by bit, and then step on your corpses, leaving you no chance to raise your head. This is how they understand the Tang army.
His Royal Highness the Prince and the others did not understand at first, but now, seeing the constantly exploding shells and the Tang army slowly advancing in the distance, they finally understood.
