Su Chen wanted to use a thousand men to attack the enemy camp of nearly ten thousand people.
Even if you prepare to advance to a level, it is not that easy.
Boxes of supplies were unloaded from the cart, and the auxiliary soldiers skillfully moved them to open spaces in different areas according to the numbers on the wooden boxes.
Some of these wooden boxes contain equipment, some contain weapons, and some contain supplies, and the boxes are all marked.
A total of 3,000 troops used 800 camels to transport various baggage.
Less than a hundred are actually used to transport grain and grass supplies, and the rest are used to supply various equipment and weapons.
The officers took their subordinates to receive the equipment, and the auxiliary soldiers began to assemble the hot air balloon.
The hot-air balloons brought by the Navy are no longer the original ones. After repeated tests by craftsmen, the handling of hot-air balloons is much more reliable than before, and their cargo-carrying capacity has also been improved.
Liu Jingren excitedly put the armor on the camel, and then began to hang things on the saddle, including lances, swords, bows and arrows, etc.
Bring a shield as well. Anyway, navy armor and shields are very light, and the load-bearing and endurance of camels is much better than horses!
This time it was finally his turn to fight, and in the morning he let Yuchi Baolin and Xue Rengui show off their power.
…
Hashem’s trip to see Umar went smoothly,
In order to thank the Tang army for sending back the captured Dashi scout, Umer even asked Hashim to bring back a small bag of gold sand for Su Chen.
The cannibals had the habit of ransoming captives, so Umar felt that he could not break the rules set by the prophet in front of the Tang people.
Following the setting sun, Hashim returned to the Tang Army camp.
Looking at the busy military camp, Hashim was a little dumbfounded. They were obviously preparing for battle!
Xue Rengui, who was traveling with him, quickly ran back to prepare.
Hashim didn’t know about the plan to attack Fahd’s camp, but Xue Rengui knew a little bit about it.
Su Chenrang to protect Hashim, but he was actually going to explore the road!
After understanding the situation, Hashim hurriedly ran to Su Chen and asked to join tonight's operation.
My sister said that if she can make more contributions, even if the Tang people leave in the future, she can follow her and become an official in the Tang Dynasty.
My brother and I couldn't stay in Dashi any longer, so they might as well go to the Tang Dynasty. Those Persians worked so hard to go to the Tang Dynasty and become common people, so if they went there themselves, they could at least get a fourth-grade official status.
"Hashem, you don't understand the language. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to follow you!"
"This time you are going to raid Umar's camp. There are no Persians following you."
Hashem babbled a lot, saying that he could already understand simple Tang dialect, and that he only needed to follow the large army to kill the enemy, and there was no need to talk to others.
Su Chen had no choice but to let him go,
Hashem happily went back to prepare his armor and weapons.
Equipped with the equipment of the Tang Dynasty, the young Hashim is really not afraid of cannibalism.
The last time he was stabbed by a giant eater, only a scratch was left on the surface of his armor, but he was fine. From then on, Hashem became bolder.
After dark, the Marines, who were almost ready, rested for two hours, got up, chewed some dry food, drank some water, and then led their camels to gather in front of the camp.
It's going to be a fierce battle tonight, there are nearly 10,000 cannibals, so you have to maintain your physical strength, don't lose your strength after all the chopping!
After midnight, the scouts came back one after another to report, confirming that there was no large cannibal army sneaking up around the camp, and there was no movement from Umer.
Su Chen gave the order and the hot air balloon began to take off!
Xue Rengui and Liu Jingren, with a thousand marines armed to the teeth, mounted camels and quietly headed towards Camp Fahd.
The place discovered by Yuchi Baolin and Xue Rengui is indeed good. Not only can they use the favorable terrain to strengthen the defense of the camp, but the key is that it is only ten miles away from Fahd Camp.
And Umar actually asked Su Chen to set up camp only ten miles away from his camp!
In fact, when Umar found out that Su Chen had run to a place only ten miles away, he originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Tang people had not yet established a foothold and lead a large army to attack.
Everything is ready and it’s time to set off, Hashem has gone!
After listening to the message from Hashem, Umar was a little confused.
Send Hashem away, and quickly ask the scouts who were sent back about the situation of the Tang army.
Of course, the scouts answered truthfully and reported to Umer what they saw in the Tang army camp.
"There are more than a hundred of those iron cars?
Already blocked at the col?
And there are two floors?”
Umar immediately got a headache!
How come there are so many iron chariots of the Tang Dynasty? It’s so disgusting. With them, our cavalry can’t even approach the Tang Dynasty’s camp.
Even if you had gunpowder and Greek fire, it would be difficult to throw them into the Tang camp located deep in the hills.
It was very difficult to use gunpowder and Greek fire to suppress the Tang army and then dismantle the iron chariot.
Looking at the sky, Umer estimated that it would be dark when he led his troops to the front of the Tang camp.
With that kind of iron car blocking the outside, there was no way to launch a surprise attack on the Tang people.
Fighting with the Tang people in the dark?
Umar thought about it and let it go!
It's better to bring more people with you tomorrow. It would be better if you can find a way to defeat the enemy. If it doesn't work, just fight with the Tang people...
So Umar gave up his plan to attack the Tang army that night.
Su Chen counted the time and asked Hashem to send those prisoners back to Umar.
Of course what the prisoners saw was what Su Chen deliberately let them see.
When the army arrived at the place, they didn't rush to set up camp. They rushed to set up the Wugang chariots first, in order to prevent the big cannibals from suddenly coming to attack them while their footing was not stable.
Then the prisoners conveyed this news to Umer, asking him to stop thinking about coming to attack tonight and stay in the camp honestly.
In the second half of the night, Fahd's camp was quiet, and all the cannibals had fallen asleep.
Su Chen was on a hot air balloon, holding a telescope and looking down constantly.
It is too difficult to search for targets at night, even with moonlight and telescopes.
Su Chen searched for a long time with a telescope in mid-air, but he couldn't find the huge Fahd Camp!
It made Su Chen wonder if he had flown.
"Lower height!"
"Commander, no matter how low it is, it will be difficult to control!"
After a while, Su Chen finally saw the outline of a camp and a few lights!
"southeast!"
"Biao, how did you control the direction? It flew off!"
The Marines quickly adjusted their sails and flew directly above Camp Fahd.
"Signal to ground troops!"
A Marine lit a thick and long firework stick and hung it under the hot air balloon pod with a rope.
Gunpowder and metal aluminum powder burn violently, and the fireworks sticks burst out with bright sparks, which are very dazzling in the night sky!
After seeing this, the other hot air balloons also lit a firework stick and hung it under the hanging basket.
