Just when the big eater was about to launch a sprint, the mountain suddenly shook and there was a loud bang!
The front position in the middle of the big cannibal army formation was filled with smoke, and sand and gravel were flying all over the sky.
This time it was not a landmine explosion, but a loud noise caused by the explosion of more than 300 kilograms of gunpowder.
The Dashi army, which was arrayed neatly, suddenly suffered heavy casualties!
Su Chen gave Sun Renshi and the others a thousand kilograms of gunpowder, and Xue Rengui divided them into three batches and buried them on the road.
It's so well camouflaged that the cannibal didn't even notice it when he walked over it.
Several Marines who had been lying in the grass did not light the fuse until now.
Moreover, only one group was detonated, and the other two groups were buried far away from the cannibal's military formation.
The purpose of burying them in three batches is to increase the success rate. The Big Eater is standing just above the last group of gunpowder.
Hearing the explosion, Sun Renshi and Liu Jingren burst into laughter:
"My sons, work together to annihilate this enemy force!"
As he spoke, he twitched his mount and launched a sprint!
When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, there was a mess on the side of the big cannibal.
The violent explosion not only directly killed a large number of cannibals,
The violent explosion wave caused varying degrees of damage to the giant cannibals dozens of meters around.
The severe panic caused at the same time caused the big cannibals to flee in all directions, and the formation was in chaos.
Masters Sun Ren and Liu Jingren rushed to the big cannibals with five hundred cavalry. Some of the big cannibals were just about to resist.
They were met with a barrage of grenades.
There was another burst of explosions, which completely stunned this big food army.
Immediately afterwards, five hundred cavalry rushed into the formation of the cannibal army,
Like wolves and sheep, they crazily harvest the lives of cannibals.
The war department will end soon,
Most of the three thousand Taishi army were wiped out, and a small number fled in all directions.
Sun Renshi and others cleaned up the battlefield and dug out the unused gunpowder from the ground.
Then they circled back from the desert to the west and chased the large army.
There was no way around it. Mines were laid on the road by the river. The cannibals didn't finish the journey, and the Tang army couldn't cross it either.
After taking care of the tail behind, the army moved forward quickly and rushed to Qadishiya.
During this period, Su Chen asked Hashem to go from the Western Desert to the Lachem people,
Because the Ottomans wanted to intercept the Tang army in Qadishiya, Su Chen was unable to meet up with the Lachem people as originally planned.
But now the defenders of Kufa, Shira and other towns in the north have moved south, which is a good opportunity for the Lachem people.
Let Hashim tell the Lahem people that when he and the army of the Great Food are fighting in Qadishiya, let them find opportunities to seize several empty defensive towns in the north.
The army continued northward along the west bank of the Euphrates River and soon reached the vicinity of Qadishiya.
In a small town called Xifina, Su Chen asked the army to stop and set up camp on the spot.
"Commander, we are about to reach Qadishiya, why did you stop suddenly?"
Rappasu came to Su Chen's tent and asked.
“I think the bridge here is great!”
Su Chen smiled.
"Um?"
Rapupasu looked confused. There was indeed a stone arch bridge across the Euphrates River in this small town, but what did this have to do with the army's halt.
"Let's rest here for one night. Tomorrow the army will cross the river and go east."
"Ah! Commander, are we not going to Qadishiya?"
Su Chen shook his head and said: "Ottoman occupies a favorable terrain there and is waiting for us, waiting for work."
"Why do we have to fall into Osman's trap?"
"Let's cross the river tomorrow and head northeast to attack Ctesiphon!"
Rappasu's eyes widened: "Commander, we are still four to five hundred miles away from Ctesiphon."
"And Ottoman is in the north. Once he discovers that we are heading towards Ctesiphon, he can easily intercept us in front."
Su Chen: "That's better! Let's see where Osman will choose to wait for us after leaving Qadishiya. I hope it will be better than Qadishiya."
"Commander! We originally planned to rendezvous with the Lahemites, but the food supplies we brought are not enough to support us to Ctesiphon?"
Cheng Wuting frowned.
Su Chen glared at Cheng Wuting: "Are you stupid? This is the richest place in the Mesopotamia. How can we not collect food and grass?"
"Besides, we don't necessarily have to go to Ctesiphon. Let's walk around the area first, collect some supplies, and see if Osman is willing to move."
"If he dares to stand still, we will burn Diniwa to the east for him."
Everyone now understood Su Chen's plan, which was to force Osman to leave Qadishiya and come to fight with him.
Liu Jingren said happily: "The commander's move is brilliant. If Osman leaves Qadishiya and comes to us for a decisive battle, then it will be our turn to occupy a favorable terrain and wait for him."
"If he continues to stand still, we will slowly approach Ctesiphon and destroy his important towns along the way!"
Seeing Lapu Pasu in a daze, Su Chen said to him: "Rapu Pasu, this is a war, I can't care so much."
"Although this is the homeland of Persia, I don't think it is possible for you to regain it in a short time."
Rapupasu said hurriedly: "Commander, I very much agree with your approach, but it is different from your past behavior, Commander, so I didn't react for a while."
Su Chen smiled and said: "Treat specific matters in detail!"
Rapupasu nodded and said nothing.
Su Chen then said to everyone: "We must keep an eye on Osman's movements to see what he will do next."
"You think you can intercept us in front if you guess our destination?"
"Osman thinks too much!"
"We have only one goal next, and that is to eliminate the enemy's effective forces as much as possible, especially the tens of thousands of elites under Osman."
Everyone nodded and praised Su Chen's brilliant method.
Su Chenxin said, isn't it just sports warfare? It's still the lowest level, nothing brilliant.
The main reason is that everyone used to fight mainly to capture cities and occupy important military areas, and they didn't think about it for a while.
The army came to the east bank of the Euphrates River the next day, looted several nearby towns, and then slowly moved toward Diniva in the northeast.
Osman was preparing to intercept Su Chen in Qadishiya. Hearing that Su Chen was approaching, he suddenly changed his marching direction and angrily broke the glass wine glass in his hand into pieces.
Osman immediately led his elite cavalry to leave Qadishiya and rushed to Diniva, preparing to destroy the Tang army under the city of Diniva.
But when he was halfway there, the scouts came to report again, saying that Su Chen had returned with an army and had returned to the small town of Xifina.
Osman's eyes turned red with anger, you're just walking me around!
After Su Chen returned to the small town of Sifina, the scouts came to report and found out that Osman had also returned to Qadisiya with his army.
