Yuchi Baolin's eyes widened and he said: "Commander, these thousand cavalry are the last of our troops. We will have to contain the enemy's troops later!"
"Otherwise, with the current two thousand people, we won't be able to sustain it for long."
As he spoke, Yuchi Baolin pointed to the lower right: "Look, the big cannibal is charging up again!"
"Start destroying the Wugang vehicles in the front row."
Su Chen frowned: "What is Liu Jingren doing?
Wasn't he ordered to fire a volley of incendiary bombs after the enemy infantry reached the Wugang chariot?"
Just as the messenger was about to convey Su Chen's order again, the trebuchet made some noise.
Sixty fireballs with a diameter of more than one meter flew over the Tang army's position in a parabola and fell towards the cannibal.
Then it formed a roughly straight line and landed near the trench that had just been filled by the giant cannibal.
The simple incendiary bomb made by Su Chen has a spherical frame made of bamboo strips on the outside, and several leather bags filled with kerosene inside. There are ten kilograms of kerosene in total.
Between the leather bag and the bamboo outer frame, there were rags soaked in kerosene.
It was instantly ignited by the trebuchet. After landing, the fragile bamboo spherical frame shattered, and the rags and kerosene inside scattered on the ground, igniting a raging fire.
All raw materials are from Fahd Camp, the kerosene is captured Greek fire, and the rags are from tents in Fahd Camp.
Using a large amount of rags as a ignition material will make the fire much more fierce than simply pouring fire oil on it.
The man-eating Greek fire is very easy to use and extremely difficult to extinguish once lit.
Sixty incendiary bombs, equivalent to 600 kilograms at a time, plus the consumption of soaking rags, the little Greek fire seized could only be used a few times.
Su Chen is much more heroic than the big cannibals. The big cannibals are absolutely reluctant to use the precious Greek fire in this way. Look at the fire oil bombs they threw over, not one of them even has a pound of oil!
However, heroic spirit has its own effect. The moment sixty incendiary bombs hit the ground, they directly ignited hundreds of cannibals. The cannibals who were trying to move forward were instantly thrown into chaos. They immediately fled in all directions, and the order of the attack was instantly disrupted!
The bomb on one of the unfortunate cavalrymen was ignited, blowing himself into pieces and knocking off his two companions from their camels.
After the incendiary bomb landed, the blazing flames immediately formed a wall of fire, blocking the cannibal's path forward.
The Big Eater is very familiar with his Greek fire. The moment the fireball hits the ground, he immediately retreats, then moves away from the fire wall, watching the fire burn, or trying to find a gap without flames.
They knew very well that it was impossible to put out such a violent fire as the Greek Fire without the tools at hand.
Seeing that the blow was effective, Liu Jingren loudly ordered the auxiliary soldiers: "Continue to prepare this big fireball, we will have to give the big eater two more rounds later."
Then he ordered the trebuchets: "Continue to clear the enemy's trebuchets in groups of six!"
"He brewed it! There are so many trebuchets from the Great Cannibal. How many of them have been destroyed, yet he brewed so many of them!"
The main components of the Tang Army's trebuchet were composed of springs and pulleys, and their range and accuracy far exceeded that of the Great Man-Eater's torque trebuchet.
A group of six would clear out the giant man-eating trebuchets and giant crossbows one by one.
Six bombs were aimed at the big man-eating trebuchet at a time, destroying it with almost every salvo.
There are sixty trebuchets, which can destroy ten cannibal trebuchets or giant crossbows in each round. Liu Jingren can't remember how many he destroyed, but the cannibal trebuchets still appear continuously on the battlefield.
The cannibal's attack was temporarily blocked by a wall of fire composed of incendiary bombs. Cheng Wuting quickly took this opportunity to clean up the cannibal in front of the Wugang vehicle.
"The cannibal is a terrible enemy!"
Yuchi Baolin looked at the position in front and sighed:
"The war has reached this point. Thousands of people have been killed in this desperate effort. The battle damage has exceeded 20%, and basically no results have been achieved."
"In an ordinary army, the soldiers would have started to flee by now, but these Dashi soldiers still have high morale and charge forward regardless of death!"
Su Chen said calmly: "How do you think Dashi was able to sweep through the surrounding powers, destroy Persia, and establish a huge empire less than twenty years after its founding?"
Yuchi Baolin sighed and said: "It's not an option to continue like this. The little kerosene we seized will be almost gone after two more times."
"Let me take the cavalry down and fight the big cannibal for a while. This can greatly reduce the pressure on the front."
Su Chen shook his head and watched the hot air balloon flying far away in the direction of Medina. Regarding this, Bao Lin said: "I still think it would be better for you to take the troops and go to Medina."
Yuchi Baolin hesitated and said: "Commander, it's not that the general is questioning your military orders, it's just that I'm going to Medina, and you don't have any troops to deploy here."
"According to the way the Big Eater uses human lives to pile up, it won't be long before the first row of martial arts vehicles will be pulled up!"
"At that time, a row of military vehicles will not be able to stop the cannibals. If we throw bombs at them across the military vehicles, our small number of people will not be able to withstand the consumption."
Su Chen nodded and said: "I know, but if you can capture Medina quickly, it will have a devastating impact on the enemy's morale."
"And you can still come back to support us when the time comes,"
"Medina is only about twenty miles away from here. When the cavalry starts running, it only takes an hour to go back and forth!"
Yuchi Baolin frowned and said: "It's not that easy. Even if there are only a few defenders left in Medina, I will not be able to capture Medina in a short while with my cavalry and no siege equipment."
Su Chen smiled and said: "A small city like Medina still uses siege equipment. Its walls are less than two feet high. You stand under the city and you throw gunpowder bombs directly onto the wall."
After hearing what Su Chen said, Yuchi Baolin turned his head and glared at Hashim: "Medina is really what you said?"
Hashim looked confused: "I will not deceive the commander or the general. Why does the general ask like this?"
Conyers, standing behind Hashem, translated Hashem's words, and then took the initiative to explain:
"General! Huge cities like the one in the Tang Dynasty are rare in other parts of the world!"
"Cities in the West are usually of this size."
Su Chen smiled and said: "No doubt, how big a city you expect a nomad in the desert to build, their population and resources cannot keep up!"
Yuchi Baolin sighed: "Even so, the general still feels that this is a bit inappropriate. After all, it is a cannibalistic capital and cannot be taken down so easily!"
Su Chen said: "Take your soldiers and horses and sneak around, and then adapt to the situation. If nothing can be done, just turn around and fight the enemy!"
