Su Chen told Cheng Wuting on the way that he wanted to find an opportunity to destroy the Fahd camp first.
At that time, Cheng Wu kept trying to persuade Su Chen to be cautious.
Now!
This can be said, thanks to Umar!
After suffering such a huge defeat in the morning, after escaping all the way back to the camp, they immediately clamored for a decisive battle with the Tang army.
Su Chen and Cheng Wuting saw through his intentions at a glance. They were eager to wash away their own defeat.
Su Chen and Cheng Wuting have seen this kind of people a lot. They are not qualified to be soldiers at all, but are suitable to be speculative politicians.
If it were normal times, Su Chen and Cheng Wuting would be very happy to meet such an enemy commander.
They must have set a trap to lure him here, and then set him up.
But that won't work this time. I'm just living on the outskirts of the capital.
There are two troops watching next to it!
They would not just watch Su Chen plot against Umer, but they might also plot against Su Chen.
Therefore, it is impossible to set up a battle array and fight Umar, but you might as well tell Umar this way.
"The general was originally worried that Umar would ask for help from others after being defeated, so that we would be attacked by the cannibals,"
"But given the current situation, Umar will definitely try his best to prevent other armies from coming. He doesn't want anyone to disturb his chance to clear up his defeat."
"I don't know where this Umer comes from with the confidence, but it's great news for us. We have a short window period that we can take advantage of."
Su Chen smiled and said: "It seems that General Cheng also thinks that we can attack this Fahd camp!"
Cheng Wuting smiled: "Don't miss this opportunity!"
"However, there are nearly 10,000 food troops in Fahd's camp. We only have these few people, and we still need to leave some to defend the camp in case of any unexpected events."
"So, Commander, you don't have many people at your disposal!"
"If you want the attack to be successful, you must be well prepared. Commander, you have to invest some money!"
Su Chen thought for a while: "Are fifty hot air balloons and a thousand armored cavalry enough?"
Cheng Wuting thought about it in his mind: "It's best to bring some wooden handle grenades!"
Su Chen felt a little distressed: "We don't have many of those things, so we need one less!"
Cheng Wuting said, "A raid requires instantaneous and violent firepower. You can't give the enemy time to react. It's better to bring some. It's useful when breaking through the camp!"
Su Chen nodded and said with pain, "Then one thousand!"
Cheng Wuting nodded: "Actually, the cannibal Greek fire is very easy to use. It's a pity that we didn't seize a few barrels in Malacca last time."
Su Chen: "Well, I'll bring them all with me this time. Maybe I can get some supplies from Umar this time."
As he said this, Su Chen was madly complaining about the system store.
Su Chen wanted Greek fire very much.
It's a pity that Elsa, Hashim and her sister have never heard of this thing, and they don't know where the Big Eater dug the oil.
It is true that the Dashi Peninsula's oil resources are unique in the world, but it cannot be dug anywhere like digging a water well.
Su Chen searched for a long time in the system store and found gasoline. However, when he saw the exchange price, he immediately gave up the idea.
One tael of gold per pound! This brew he made is too dark!
It would be useless to spend all the exchange points that Su Chen had saved in advance. It would be better to save some life-saving items for emergencies.
"The light is poor at night, and the coordination between the hot air balloon and the cavalry is also a problem."
"I will find a way to do this!"
After discussing tonight's night attack plan with Cheng Wuting for a while, he saw that the soldiers had almost arranged the entrance of the valley.
Su Chen began to make plans for tonight's attack.
Call Hashim over, and also ask Xue Rengui to bring over the Dashi scouts captured by him and Yuchi Baolin.
"Hashim! Go to Fahd's camp and tell Umar that this commander is waiting for him here for a decisive battle."
"In order to prevent Umar from getting angry and killing you with a knife, you send these prisoners to Umar."
Hashem looked at the Dashi prisoners who were looking around and nodded.
I have told him this once before and he is prepared.
"The road is not very safe. Xue Rengui, take a hundred people to protect Hashem along the way!"
Xue Rengui cupped his fists and accepted the order!
Then Hashem and Xue Rengui rushed to Fahd Camp with a few captives, accompanied by two Persian translators.
…
At this time in the city of Medina, Abbas's political hall,
The officials and nobles of Medina were already quarreling over Umar's defeat in the morning.
Although Umar deliberately concealed his defeat and did not report specific losses, he also wanted Abbas to write a special letter to explain.
But in the morning, Umar's army fled and was chased by the Tang army for more than ten miles.
Many people saw this.
It’s not like it’s an uninhabited desert outside Medina, there are many people and pedestrians!
Not to mention that the nobles are still paying attention to this matter, and some people have directly sent people to find out the news.
So Umar couldn’t hide it if he wanted to.
Although the nobles in the city could not figure out how many men Umer had lost for a while, everyone knew that Umer returned with a great defeat and was chased by the Tang Dynasty for more than ten miles.
Some nobles and officials in the city demanded that Umar be relieved of his military power immediately and put someone else in charge of Fahd's camp. Umar could not be allowed to embarrass the warriors of the gods like this again.
But it was not like there was no one behind Umar, and another group of nobles immediately opposed it.
He took out Umar's battle report and said that Umar only suffered a small defeat due to terrain restrictions, allowing the Tang Dynasty's artillery to succeed.
Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. No one should be relieved of military power just because he suffered a defeat.
Moreover, Umar said that he had found a way to restrain the Tang Dynasty's artillery and was about to lead his army to fight the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the nobles in Medina were still quarreling over their power.
As for the threat from the Tang people?
They didn't think that a team of more than 3,000 people could pose much of a threat to them.
Several military generals felt that things were a bit suspicious:
It’s true that Umer is a fool, but the basic combat effectiveness of the Great Food Cavalry is there.
Even if the Tang people's artillery succeeded, they could just retreat back, but how could they be chased by the Tang people for more than ten miles?
It's a pity that there are only a few sober people after all. The nobles and bureaucrats are all focusing on the fat piece of Fahd Camp, and few people think carefully about why Umar suffered such a disastrous defeat.
Seeing that everyone was quarreling, Abbas finally decided:
Give Umer another chance to see if he can annihilate this Tang army.
At the same time, people were sent to Fahd's camp to investigate the specific circumstances of Umar's defeat.
Let’s not talk about the situation of the nobles in Medina.
The Tang Army camp is now very busy, and various preparations are being made for tonight's raid.
