Xue Rengui blushed: "Commander, I was so anxious that I forgot about this!"
Famous generals also grow up little by little. Xue Rengui is still a young man. He has only joined the army for less than a year, so it is normal for him to make some mistakes.
"You have worked hard all night and are mentally exhausted. It is inevitable that you will make some mistakes!"
"Have the ordnance been processed?"
Xue Rengui hurriedly replied: "Not yet. The sergeant is collecting some scattered ordnance. It is probably almost done now."
Su Chen said: "No need to be so meticulous!"
"Let's go and test the performance of the big cannibal weapon,"
"Then destroy it quickly. We have to go back as soon as dawn. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."
Xue Rengui called another group of soldiers to pick up the pottery pots lying around and load them into the truck.
He picked up a bucket of kerosene and followed Su Chen to the school grounds.
There are all kinds of cannibal weapons laid out here.
Swords, shields, etc., Su Chen ordered two captains to go aside and test them.
Su Chen mainly wanted to see how powerful the man-eater's trebuchet and ballista were.
I saw a catapult easily throw a can of lit kerosene three hundred steps away. The can fell to the ground and broke into pieces, but a huge fire broke out on the ground.
"Commander, if the big cannibal comes like this, we won't be able to prevent it!"
"At this distance, our bows and arrows are basically useless, and the accuracy of the artillery is too low..."
Su Chen frowned and said, "We can only use a trebuchet to hit it. The range and accuracy of our trebuchet and giant crossbow are much better than those of the Big Man-Eater."
"I'm afraid we will have to fight against the big cannibals in the future. We can't always get free deals like today!"
"In the future, a large number of casualties will be inevitable."
After testing the power of the cannibal's various weapons, Su Chen ordered a fire to burn them all.
Anyway, these things are not used by oneself, let alone left to cannibals.
Here Liu Jingren also finished dealing with the Dashi prisoners. The ordinary soldiers broke their thumbs and released them directly.
As for the officers, after Liu Jingren dealt with the soldiers, he directly ordered them all to be killed without reporting them to Su Chen!
Su Chen didn't say anything about this.
We are in the middle of an enemy country, and if we are not careful, we are in danger of being wiped out.
Do not be merciful to your enemies!
Forget about ordinary soldiers, but for enemy officers,
Even if Su Chen ordered them to live, it is estimated that Liu Jingren and others would obey them and disobey them!
Then Liu Jingren and Xue Rengui set fire to the supplies, food and grass that could not be taken away.
Not even the animals were spared, they were all slaughtered on Liu Jingren’s order!
Make sure not to leave anything usable for the cannibals.
Hashim dragged over a corpse that had been mangled with blood and flesh, and said it was Umar.
Su Chen was too lazy to let anyone identify him carefully. Half of his face was blown away, so it was really difficult to identify him.
Besides, the captives were killed and released as much as possible, and now no one except Hashem and Kanyim knows Umar.
They said yes!
"Leave him here and let the big cannibal collect his body!"
The sky was getting dark, and Su Chen ordered: "The entire army begins to return to camp in order!"
"Xue Rengui opens the way in front, I am in the middle, and Liu Jingren is behind!"
One thousand Marines returned home with a full load this time.
Each person rides a camel and leads two camels or horses.
On the backs of camels and war horses, there were piles of various supplies.
Behind the team were dozens of carts, each pulled by six camels!
It was only about ten miles in total, and the army quickly returned to the camp.
Along the way, we found numerous cannibal scouts, but as long as they didn't approach too closely, the army ignored them.
Just take a look! We just destroyed Fahd’s camp, what can you do?
Cheng Wuting and Yuchi Baolin were at the gate of the camp to welcome the return of the army and Su Chen.
Yuchi Baolin's eyes turned red with envy when he looked at the returning army.
For the safety of the camp, Su Chen left Yuchi Baolin behind in the camp.
"Haha! Congratulations to the commander on such a great victory!"
Cheng Wuting laughed loudly at the gate of the camp.
Su Chen smiled and said: "It's just opportunistic!"
"I guess this is the last time we'll take advantage like this!"
Cheng Wuting waved his hand: "The commander-in-chief directly eliminated one-third of the troops remaining in Medina this time."
"The Great Eater has been seriously injured. It will be much easier for us to deal with him in the future!"
Su Chen yawned and said, "Fortunately, this attack was successful!"
"By now, the city of Medina should have received news of the destruction of Fahd's camp,"
"I guess we have completely pissed off the cannibal this time!"
"We have a tough battle to fight next!"
"I'm going to take a rest first!"
"The big eater is coming and calls me!"
Cheng Wuting hurriedly said: "Commander, please go and have a good rest!"
"The big cannibal probably won't come for a while!"
After working hard for half the night, Su Chen returned to the camp and fell asleep directly.
Cheng Wuting also arranged for the soldiers returning to the camp to have a good rest.
…
At this time, the city of Medina was completely in a state of chaos!
Camp Fahd was suddenly and silently razed to the ground!
It's not silent, I heard it's quite loud, like thunder.
The 12,000-strong food army was actually wiped out by the Tang army in one battle. Even if it was a sneak attack at night, this was too terrifying!
Since the founding of Dashi, the Dashi people have never lost so many troops in any battle!
Yesterday, the food nobles who were still eyeing Fahd's camp seat and quarreling with each other for their own interests were now completely panicked!
Early in the morning, the entire city of Medina was filled with panic.
The nobles who were still quarreling with each other yesterday hurried to the government hall together early in the morning, but did not see Abbas.
Abbas went to the city before dawn to inspect the city defenses.
He already knew about the Fahd Camp.
Although the Marines worked hard to block the gate of Camp Fahd last night, many people still ran out.
Of course, the cannibals who escaped would flee directly to Medina and report to the city.
Camp Fahd is only about ten miles away from Medina. When they heard that Camp Fahd had been attacked, the officials on duty at night immediately woke Abbas up from bed.
Hearing that the Tang people dared to attack Fahd's camp at night, Abbas was furious. How could the Tang people be so bold?
But after hearing the specific situation, Abbas started to panic again!
That kind of monster that flies in the sky can drop bombs on the ground! It also flies very high and cannot be shot by bows and arrows.
This, doesn't this mean that we can only watch and be bombed without any power to fight back!
No wonder the Tang people were so bold. Three thousand people dared to come near Medina. It turned out that they were well prepared.
Thinking of this, Abbas was shocked:
What if that kind of flying monster flies over Medina?
Abbas hurriedly sent for General Khalid, who was guarding Medina.
Khalid also knew about Fahd's camp at this time and had already gone to the city to deploy defenses.
