NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1616: Refugees are strong
"Run..."
Laf 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 that no one would be able to continue to hold on.
The soldiers around also saw that many refugees' eyes were not filled with 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 as good as his.
Although the army was organized, it would not really fight desperately, but these refugees were different. They had reached the last moment, and now they were not even given a shaded place. They were forced to go north under such a scorching sun. Without sufficient water, this was tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
Anyway, we will die anyway, so we might as well fight with these armies. Anyway, they have come all the way from the north, and they don’t know how many armies they have fought. If they can beat them, they will kill them. If they can’t beat them, they will naturally run away. They have also gained experience through fighting.
Sambik felt a little absurd. The army of the Arab Empire was killed by refugees, but Raf thought it was normal. There are tens of thousands of refugees here, and we only have a few hundred people. If we can deter these people by killing, then our mission will be easy to complete, but if we can’t deter them, then we can only find a way to escape.
Obviously, the current situation is that we can only escape. If we don’t seize the time to escape, then some things can’t be said. Although the refugees have no weapons in their hands, they have come all the way from the north, and many of them died in their hands. Many people still have some unchewed meat in their mouths. No one knows what happened to this meat. They can even do such disgusting things. Is killing a few people a big deal for them?
Some soldiers even used the imperial law to demand them, which was simply nonsense. If these people were really afraid of the law, they would not have come to this point. Many people still had complaints in their hearts. If it were not for the wrong policies of the Arab Empire, how could they have come to this point?
Facts have proved that Raf's strategy is correct. If they had stayed where they were, they might have been torn into pieces. Although the refugees did not have much strength, their number was enough, tens of thousands of people. Although they did not know the reason for the conflict with the soldiers, they understood that as long as someone died around them, they would be able to hold on for a while.
There were also a few soldiers who ran slower, but they might not have a chance to stand up again. As long as someone fell, they would be immediately drowned by the refugee tide. Soldiers drowned by the refugee tide might not want to live in this life. The refugees did not have any sharp weapons in their hands, so it was too painful to kill someone.
Sambik couldn't take care of his animals at this time, he could only run as hard as he could. If he didn't run, the people behind him would be his role models. Now he couldn't think of the so-called struggle for power. If it weren't for Raf, he would have been torn to pieces by those people.
Raf was very calm on the surface, but when he saw the miserable state of those people behind him, he wanted to vomit. Fortunately, he ran faster now and forced himself to suppress that feeling. There were hundreds of people when they came, but they didn't expect to lose them in the refugee camp.
When they ran to the first support point, they found that the officers here were no longer found. When the refugee camp rioted just now, dozens of cavalry here were immediately full, but they did not go to support Raf and his men, but rushed towards the camp.
These people all came from the battlefield in the north. Don't be superstitious about the battle between the regular army and the refugees. If they really cross each other, the regular army will be the one that fails the most. The main reason is that the refugees dare to risk their lives, while the regular army is not ready for that, especially the group that has just been recruited. They don't think that the refugees are so threatening. Now that such a situation has happened, they really feel helpless.
After returning to the barracks, Sambik was not criticized by the above. Such things have happened too many times in the north. If you still criticize your soldiers in this situation, you are a bit too much. The pressure on the soldiers is not low. If you let the soldiers think about it, someone may wave the scimitar in his hand and do something fatal in the barracks.
Such things have happened several times in the barracks in the north. Those people killed their friends and even their generals without caring because their heads couldn't stand it. They didn't understand why they appeared on such a battlefield, so they had only one idea, that is, 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 fatal 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 have a chance, but if you live in a city, most people will become refugees.
Of course, they are not 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. They eat everything they see and rob everything they see. The original residents in the city are not refugees, but after being harassed by these refugees for a while, they can only choose to be refugees.
For the entire Arab Empire, the refugee issue is now of vital importance. If a proper solution cannot be found, it is likely that no one will be able to persist. No matter what policy the Arab Empire has, they must now face it correctly, including Marshal Sukhguman. If they cannot solve the refugee issue, then forget about the Tang Dynasty.
