"These guys don't have much capability. I'll just go with my cavalry. But be prepared for battle. If anything goes wrong, I'll immediately retreat north, and you'll bring your troops to support me. I don't believe they have anyone who can resist my army. If they do, then I'll give them my life."
Chang Sun Ze said very proudly that we have been fighting with this army for more than one or two days. If they still have the ability, then you can use all your strength. If you don’t have that ability, then some things are hard to say. We may have to decide something big today, and the relationship between us will also change. It’s not that we have to make you our vassal army, but we want to take you down at the lowest cost.
Chang Sunze had already made up his mind, and General Sima could only listen. After all, for these two people, the main general and the deputy general could still be distinguished. What's more, General Sima also had similar ideas. Although these people in front could still be called an army, their strength was really poor. The people under General Chang Sun were not bad. If they just wanted to escape, no one could stop them.
After hearing what the two men said, the person in charge of delivering the message nodded happily. Finally, they didn't have to continue fighting. If they continued fighting, he might not be able to escape to the next camping spot because his camel was injured. Now, if the Tang army did not give him a batch of war horses, he would have no way to deliver messages back and forth.
After getting the approval of Chang Sun Ze, this guy immediately started running back with the letter. The time of the talks was set at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. The reason for setting this time was that the greatest combat effectiveness could be exerted during the day. The Tang army was completely different from the Arab army. The more open and aboveboard they were, the stronger their combat effectiveness would be.
On the other hand, the Arab army is different. If they want to unleash their impact, night is a very good time period. When the moon is bright at night, that is their best time. So even if the two sides are fighting, they will try their best to move to where they have an advantage.
However, although the Tang Dynasty had an advantage during the day, it did not mean that they did not have much strength at night. If a fight really broke out at night, the Arab Empire would not gain much benefit even if the musketeers intervened. It had been proven before that they could be annihilated in a sneak attack at night.
Perhaps it is because they have suffered so many failures that the people of the Arab Empire no longer have many other ideas. For the people of the Arab Empire, as long as they can be given a chance to survive, they are willing to do anything. As for whether they have betrayed their country and beliefs, those things are not important now, and we don’t have the time to think about them.
General Sima assembled 4,000 soldiers as agreed, and the artillery and musket teams were also ready. Once Changsun Ze's signal was discovered, these 4,000 cavalrymen would rush forward first, and the people behind would guard the retreat route for them.
However, these things may not happen. After several days of pursuit, they have not found any organized army. Even if His Royal Highness wants to set a trap, he must have talented people under his command. As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. According to what the messenger said, there are only some old servants left around, and there is not even a man with a knife. Of course, what he said cannot be believed. This is why we must be fully prepared.
Just as General Sima was waiting for news, signal flares were heard in the sky. When he saw the two flares, General Sima breathed a sigh of relief. According to the agreement made before leaving, if there was danger, one flare would be set off, and if there was no danger, two flares would be set off. The situation he encountered now was similar to that along the way, with Arab soldiers lying on the ground everywhere.
When you walk past them, some people can still open their eyes to look, but some people just close their eyes and let you step over them. Even when the horses' hooves step on these people, they can't make a loud cry, because they haven't eaten for many days, and this has already reached their limit.
During these few days, not everyone was lucky enough to get some supplies. If there were no supplies, they would have used up all their energy in these days.
In this situation, even if you raised your knife to kill him, he could only lie on the ground and watch, unable to even make a move to dodge, his whole body seemed to be falling apart. So when these troops passed by them, although they knew that these people were the Tang Dynasty army and were heading towards their capital, no one cared about it. Instead, some people moved into the weeds, trying not to be discovered.
Chang Sunze didn't know what to say. The invincible Arab Empire in his mind was probably just an image, purely an image. It was impossible for it to appear in reality. Even if it did appear, could he rely on these guys to win? That was simply impossible.
"That's His Royal Highness's tent. There are no guards there now. General, you can go there at will, even if you take your men with you."
Chang Sun Ze couldn't believe what the messenger said, so he waved his hands left and right, and more than a dozen cavalrymen rushed over quickly. These cavalrymen quickly reported back the news. The messenger was right. There were no guards around, not even one with a knife.
"It is hard to believe that your country has become so weak."
Chang Sun Ze threw down these words and then took his men over. No wonder they were so cautious. Among all the foreign enemies, the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire fought for the longest time, and the Arab Empire mobilized the largest number of troops. When Li Xiang said that the Arab Empire was our strong enemy, some people didn't dare to believe it. Now everyone believes it, but we didn't expect to be defeated like this.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves around him, His Royal Highness the Prince felt no fear at all. This man had already put life and death aside. As the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. If you want to arrest and kill someone, then go ahead and do it. We will not have any doubts.
