NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1614 Common people become bullies
When he was recruiting people from various places a few days ago, Sambike felt uncomfortable because he felt that he had changed too quickly, from a simple farmer to a bully. If he had been given a little more time, he might still be able to do it. Doing more extreme things, sometimes when you think back on the things you have done, it is simply unreasonable.
"The military rations have been brought back. Let's see how much we can distribute to us. Starting from today, the military rations will be distributed. If we don't have enough food on the road in the future, we will have to rely on ourselves."
When Sambik was thinking about things, Rafe's voice rang from the side. It turned out that several hundred of them had brought back a few carts of military rations, which was enough for two or three days. You know, even these military rations were not enough. It was very difficult, almost all the people around were plundered.
That day, Sangbic also took his men out to perform a mission. Originally, they wanted to leave some rations for the people around him. As a result, Sangbic was whipped. This was a punishment for his kindness, so from then on Sambik can't control that much. As long as he passes by a tribe, he must take everything he can. As for how these people will live next, do you still need to ask? Then you still ask how to live?
Just look at the refugees around him. Zambik had never thought that the powerful Arab Empire would have so many naked refugees. After talking to them, he realized that since the end of the last war, most of the northern Cities are already experiencing a wave of refugees.
The yamen in various places didn't even take care of it. They just kept driving away the refugees, fearing that the refugees would turn their place into a hell. For these officials in the north, Sambike scolded them at the beginning, but now What is he doing? When he saw refugees approaching his team, he would also raise the whip in his hand. This was the change during this period.
There is nothing we can do otherwise. There were some armies that sympathized with the refugees before, but what was the result of those armies? The number of refugees outside is increasing. By the time you are eating, they are no longer here to beg, but directly to rob. These refugees know clearly that they are the imperial army, and robbing rations is tantamount to rebellion, but no one can survive. If you go down, do you still care whether you rebel or not?
After experiencing a catastrophe, Zambik's scimitar did not kill the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty first, but instead killed the refugees from his own country first. It was after that massacre that he and his men seemed to have been reborn. Likewise, everyone knows that after that war, their hands are no longer clean.
Moreover, the food supply is insufficient now. If you don’t kill these refugees, your soldiers may have to kill you after they take away the food. Some generals in the army are too kind, so their food is too early. It’s gone.
"Do you think the Tang army is like us, relying on robbery for all its supplies?"
Zambik looked at the soldiers surrounding him, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He thought that the Arab Empire was extremely powerful, but when the war actually started, he realized that sufficient military rations were out of reach, and sometimes even There is a risk that soldiers will go into battle hungry.
This was something that was unimaginable before, but now it has become a reality. After hearing Sambike's words, Rafe sneered. He didn't know how to explain this matter. You know that Datang is far away from us. How far is it? They are not familiar with the place. If we rely on robbery to fill our stomachs, I am afraid we will not need to go to the front line to fight. If we rely on robbery to fill our stomachs, I am afraid that the Tang army will starve to death.
"Don't think about useless things. There will be no good results if we think too much now. What we have to do now is to sort out our military rations and various things, and then follow the large troops to the battlefield. All the refugees will be killed by us. Drive them to the north, because the existence of these refugees will make the nobles of the royal capital uncomfortable. Just because of their discomfort, these hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will be forced to return to the north. "
When Raf said this, he also felt extremely ironic. There was plenty of food in the granary of the royal capital, but why were those people unwilling to take it out? Even if you are unwilling to relieve the refugees, we are fighting for the entire empire. Don’t we soldiers deserve to eat? Then who do you leave your food to?
Rafe did not say this out loud, but many of his people have already raised this question. We are now fighting for the empire, and even our lives belong to the empire, but we only have a few days of rations. If there is no new If there is no food supply, we may face starvation at any time. Is this the powerful Arab Empire?
"You two come here..."
Just as the two were talking, a cavalryman rushed in from the gate of the camp. That man was their immediate superior. New orders should have arrived. From yesterday morning to now, they have not had new orders. After all, The surrounding villages have been raided, and if we send people there, we will only see an empty village.
"Your mission is this section, which is to follow the team over there and drive the refugees to the north. If there are people who can't walk, deal with them directly. In short, you cannot let these people continue to go south. As for giving If you don’t give them food, it depends on your own reserves.”
The general took out a simple map, and Raf couldn't even understand what was on it. Fortunately, Sambik had learned it before. If he hadn't learned it, then the things printed on this rag would be like a heavenly book.
Sambik still had doubts, but after touching the wound on his body, he finally closed his mouth. He also knew that sometimes this doubt was useless. If you dare to speak out, your general will dare to give you a whip.
So in this case, it's best to shut your mouth. There are many things that have nothing to do with you, and you don't need to think so much. Honestly carrying out the tasks above is good for everyone. If you don't carry out the tasks, then you will see how the above will punish you. Your father's kindness can't hold up in the army.
"Prepare for battle."
In desperation, Sambik could only give orders to start their first battle to drive away the refugees. (End of this chapter)
