Umar's face turned pale, he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was shaking, but he was reluctant to give the order to retreat.
Because he knew what kind of fate he would face once he was defeated and returned.
"General, the warriors of the gods are also made of flesh and blood. If we don't retreat, once there is a defeat, the consequences will be disastrous."
"General, please give the order quickly!"
The two generals beside Umar anxiously persuaded Umar to order a retreat quickly to reduce losses.
On the Tang Army's side, Su Chen stood on a temporary high platform, holding a telescope and carefully observing the enemy's formation.
Ignoring the Big Cannibal's crazy attack on the Wugang Chariot front, Su Chen held up his binoculars to look for the commander behind the Big Cannibal's army.
"The commander of the cannibal is a fool. In this situation, he should have ordered a retreat long ago."
Yuchi Baolin also stood beside Su Chen holding a telescope,
"But the cannibal army is really brave and not afraid of death!"
"In an ordinary army, when the battle losses exceed 20%, the morale of the army begins to weaken. When the battle losses exceed 30%, some people should run away from the battle."
"More than 30% of this cannibal's death must have occurred. The corpses of both humans and camels have covered the open space in front of the Wugang chariot, leaving no room for even a moment's leisure."
"That's it, the big cannibal is still charging forward!"
Yuchi Baolin had to admire the Dashi army. It was definitely the most fearless army he had ever seen.
In terms of treating death as if it were death, even His Majesty's Xuanjia Army cannot compare!
Su Chen sighed and said: "Religious brainwashing armies are usually like this!"
"People think that after they die in battle, they will enter the Kingdom of Heaven and enjoy eternal bliss. They are not afraid of death at all, and some even want to die!"
Yuchi Baolin also sighed and said nothing.
I saw the crossbowmen behind the Wugang chariot forming a retreat. Instead, there was a trebuchet, and there were many sergeants pushing loaded bowl-mouth blunderbuss forward on wheelbarrows...
Yuchi Baolin knew that Cheng Wuting was going to use all his firepower!
"Commander, I'm going too!"
With that said, Yuchi Baolin got off the high platform and ran towards the leftmost edge of the position.
There were dozens of cavalry there ready to go.
At this time, Hashem ran out of breath and ran to the foot of the high platform, screaming.
Rappasu came to him and translated:
"Commander, I remember who the commander opposite is! His name is Umer!"
Su Chen glared at Hashim: "I just asked you to look at the telescope carefully for a long time. You said you didn't recognize it, and now you suddenly come over and say you remember it?"
"Commander, I only met him once. It was at a banquet, he was not in military uniform, and this Umer has only been in Medina for a few months. I forgot about him for a moment and didn't recognize him just now!
"
Su Chen waved his hand: "What is the position of Umar in Medina?"
Hashim: "Should be the supreme commander of Camp Fahd."
Su Chenyi frowned: "It should be?"
Hashem said helplessly: "This man has only been in Medina for two months. When I fled Medina, he had not been officially appointed! But at that time, the top commander of Fahd Camp had been transferred...
"
"Then what do you know about this Umar?"
Hashim shook his head: "I don't know much about him, but at the banquet I met him, it seemed that many nobles didn't want to talk to him."
Su Chen asked again: "The Fahd camp is the one you mentioned with the largest number of people but the worst combat effectiveness, right?"
"Yes! It's the one called South Daying by Marshal I."
Just as Su Chen was about to continue asking questions, he heard a dense roar of cannons in front of him.
Cheng Wuting has ordered full firepower and a full-scale counterattack!
Su Chen left Hashim behind and picked up the telescope to observe the progress of the battle.
I saw another blank area in front of the Wugang vehicle.
At this time, the big eater had begun to fear and did not dare to move forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the second round of gunfire, there was another row of giant cannibals in the front row. Even the man and the camel were beaten to a bloody pulp.
The cannibals finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and ran away, trying to escape from this meat grinding ground!
But just as they turned around, there was another sound of gunshots being fired behind them!
The bowl-mouth guns at both ends of the Wugang cart have been fired, but just now a sergeant has pushed a batch of loaded bowl-mouth guns forward on a cart!
At the same time, in the open space behind the Wugang chariot, there were densely packed light trebuchets, one after another throwing bombs and gunpowder packets into the cannibal's position.
At this time, within a range of three hundred meters in front of the Wugang chariot in front of Datang's position, almost the entire Great Cannibal's position was covered!
All kinds of explosives rained down on the crowd of food cavalry,
The entire cannibal position suddenly blossomed!
There were explosions in all directions and craters everywhere on the ground.
The large amounts of smoke produced by the gunpowder explosion and the dust raised by the explosion on the dry ground shrouded all the food cavalry!
From a distance, it looks like the giant man-eater is in a smoky wonderland!
Yuchi Baolin praised: The commander was still smart. In order to attract the cannibals to the front of the formation, he deliberately did not expose the range of the field artillery.
Now the giant man-eater is basically within the trebuchet's projection range.
This one is in full bloom, tsk tsk!
The big cannibals were now completely defeated, and everyone was running for their lives.
However, the road south of Medina is in a valley with cliffs on both sides.
The only way to escape is to go backwards, towards Medina.
So the frightened giant eater rushed to the front and turned around in a swarm, driving the camels to run wildly without their lives!
The one running at the front is Umar!
Originally, Umar was about to order a retreat under the persuasion of his subordinates.
Datang's all-out attack has begun!
Then the great cannibal, who was already at the end of his battle, immediately fled in full force.
When Umer saw something was wrong, he turned around and ran away!
He was at the back of the team and instantly ran to the front!
Seeing that the big cannibals had all fled, a hundred light cavalry rushed out from both sides of the Tang Dynasty's position.
He quickly caught up with the big eater who was running around, held the knife horizontally in his hand, and quickly passed by the big eater. Behind him, the big eater fell off the camel!
There is no need to chop hard, the sharp blade can easily cut through the simple armor of the big eater.
At this time, the shortcomings of the camel cavalry were exposed. They were slow and couldn't run away!
Although camels are taller than horses, their endurance is far greater than horses, and their wide camel paws are more suitable for walking in the desert.
But in terms of short-term burst speed, camels are far behind horses!
The great cannibal's army was defeated like a mountain, and he just ran away with his head in his arms.
There were only a hundred cavalrymen in the Tang Dynasty who pursued them, but they still chased the two thousand fleeing cannibals, constantly harvesting lives.
It's not that Su Chen doesn't want to send more people to pursue, but the front of the position is blocked by martial arts chariots connected by iron chains. The big cannibals can't get through, and his own cavalry can't get out either!
