The passages left on both sides of the Wugang chariot can only be passed by a single horse.
When the counterattack began, the cavalry began to rush out. After the fifty cavalry on one side went out, the big cannibals had already run far away, and no one could catch up with them!
There are also some particularly brave people among the Great Eaters. Seeing that there are not many Tang soldiers chasing them, they want to turn around and fight to the death with the Tang soldiers.
As a result, the knife struck Tang Ren. Tang Ren didn't even pause. The knife passed through his body and he continued to move forward to chase the other big cannibals.
The scimitar struck the Marine's armor without breaking any defense. The Marine's horizontal sword slashed across the body of the giant eater, leaving a long gash, with bones visible deep inside.
The Marines didn't care about the injuries of the cannibal that he had slashed with the knife, and just continued to chase the cannibal in front of them.
In fact, he knew that for a deep and long wound, if the bleeding was not stopped and bandaged in time, he would bleed to death in a few minutes.
The commander-in-chief's instructions were to eliminate as many of the enemy's effective forces as possible.
Then you can't let the horse slow down, and of course you can't fight with the opponent.
If you catch up with one, you can kill them with one knife. Whether you die or not depends on God's will. Even if you don't die, they won't be able to fight in the next few days!
This is the most effective way!
Moreover, each Marine who went to pursue them also carried two throwing guns on his back, and two strung hand crossbows were hung on his horse. The pursuit was very efficient.
After chasing for more than ten miles at a stretch, Yuchi Baolin felt that the speed of his horse was no longer as fast as before.
The throwing spears and crossbow arrows on his body have also been used up.
After slashing the big man-eater in front of him, Yuchi Baolin reined in the reins and stopped.
Looking around, I found that I had escaped from the narrow valley and came to an open area.
Yuchi Baolin rode his horse to the slightly higher mound on the left and looked around.
I saw the fleeing giant cannibals, most of them running for their lives in the northwest direction.
The soldiers who were chasing behind also gradually stopped.
As soon as the horses couldn't bear the food,
Secondly, when you are deep in the enemy's country, you don't dare to pursue the enemy too far.
Yuchi Baolin blew the copper whistle hanging around his neck hard, and the nearby Marines who heard the whistle came to gather one after another.
"Ding Cong, Wang Zhi, you two go back and report to the commander that we have chased him to about five miles outside the entrance of the valley,"
"The enemy fled northwest. After we take a short rest, we will also search northwest."
The two marines clasped their fists in agreement and turned their horses back to report the news to Su Chen.
"Captain! More than a mile northwest, there is a place similar to a post station with a water source. Let's go there to rest for a while and give the horses some water."
Xue Rengui rode a horse and led several camels, coming from the northwest.
"Boy, you ran very fast, you even ran ahead of me!"
Xue Rengui grinned: "Captain compliments!"
Yuchi Baolin said to the Marines around him: "You guys, gather everyone together and let's go together!"
"It's so damn difficult to find a place with water in this damn place!"
The two gathered up the Marines who were chasing the man-eater, and together they went to rest at the water source ahead.
At this time, Su Chen's army was clearing the road and preparing to move forward.
After the big cannibals fled, Su Chen immediately ordered the auxiliary soldiers of the baggage troops to come forward and move the fixed military carriages away.
The auxiliary soldiers first removed the iron rod tilted against the carriage. This thing is to help support the Wugang carriage from rolling over.
There is no diagonally supported iron rod, and only four iron drills are used to fix it. A violent impact would damage the carriage.
Remove the iron chain linking the vehicle,
Then pull out the iron drill holding the Wugang cart from the ground, and then push the Wugang cart aside to check if there is any damage.
The iron drill is a long round steel rod with multiple grooves and a sharp end. It passes through the frame of the four corners of the Wugang carriage and is nailed to the ground by the soldiers with a sledgehammer to secure the Wugang carriage.
.
The auxiliary soldiers held steel rods two to three meters long with bayonet hooks at both ends.
Use one end to clamp the groove of the iron drill bit horizontally.
The auxiliary soldier was at the other end and pushed hard.
Just like using a wrench to tighten a screw, turn the drill bit to loosen the soil and reduce friction.
Then hold it vertically and use the other end to clamp the groove near the ground, use a stone as a cushion to turn it into a crowbar, and pry the iron drill upward bit by bit.
Simple application of the leverage principle throughout the process.
Cheng Wuting watched the auxiliary soldiers pry up the iron drill and said with a smile: "Commander, this martial arts chariot is very useful for blocking cavalry!"
"The cannibals are lawless. It is very difficult to move the immobilized Wugang cart."
Su Chen said helplessly: "There are too few of us, so we can only use this stupid method to stop the attack of the Great Food Cavalry!"
Cheng Wuting said: "Whatever you do, as long as it works!"
"It's such a waste of fine iron. One car costs more than a thousand kilograms of fine iron!"
Su Chen shook his head: "Steel is not valuable, it is just too heavy and difficult to transport."
Cheng Wuting said with a smile: "I have forgotten that our Tang Dynasty has already obtained fine iron to build railways, but we still think that fine iron is a pity!"
"But it doesn't matter if it doesn't get heavier. If the cannibal can move it easily, you won't be able to nail it with the iron drill."
The two chatted for a while, and several sergeants came over: "Commander, we have a rough calculation!!"
"Not counting the results of our army's pursuit, the cannibal casualties were more than 2,800,"
"Only fifty-two of our troops were slightly injured."
"Consumption of shells..."
This time there were zero casualties!
If you don’t collect camels and horses last time, you will have little loss when dealing with the big food herdsmen!
Cheng Wuting smiled and said: "I have fought many battles with foreigners, and this is the easiest time."
"It is estimated that only more than 1,500 people can escape from the cannibal!"
Su Chen nodded: "This time we got a good deal and met an idiot commander."
Such a victory this time was the result of many factors, but the man named Umer was responsible for nine of the successes.
Cheng Wuting smiled: "Indeed, a qualified commander should decisively order a retreat after our two rounds of shelling!"
Su Chen called Hashem over and asked some more about the officer named Umer and the situation in Fahd's camp.
Hashem didn’t know much about Umar, but he knew more or less about the situation in Fahd’s camp.
At this time, all the Wugang chariots were ready to move. Su Chen ordered the army to continue moving forward.
Previously, Liu Jingren had led a thousand people to set off first and open the way in front.
"According to Hashem, this Fahd camp has the largest number of people and the weakest combat effectiveness among the three camps guarding Medina."
"After this battle, we can probably get some clues."
"Commander Cheng, I would like to destroy this camp first if I have the chance. What do you think?"
