Su Chen saw that Osman had also gone back, so he led his army to the east bank of the Euphrates River the next day and once again advanced towards the northeast.
This time Osman did not lead the army to Diniwa to intercept Su Chen.
Instead, he left Qadishiya and led the army directly south, also heading towards the town of Xifina.
Ottoman decided to capture the town of Xifina and attack the Tang army from behind.
Su Chen laughed after receiving the news: "Let's go back and wait for Osman at the bridge and block the big cannibal on the other side of the river."
Sun Renshi smiled and said: "Then we have to speed up. If it's too late, I'm afraid the cannibals will have already passed the bridge and reached the east bank of the river."
Su Chen: "Then you lead some of the cavalry and take the first step!"
"Yes! I will go here!"
Sun Renshi led three thousand cavalry and rushed towards the small town of Xifina, while Su Chen and the rest of the troops also rushed back.
When Sun Renshi rushed to the river, he found that Dashi's army was rushing to the east bank of the Euphrates River through the bridge.
Many people have already arrived on the east bank of the river and are gathering on the bank.
When the Great Eater saw Master Sun Ren coming back with three thousand cavalry, he laughed loudly: You are too late, this bridge already belongs to us.
While urging the army to cross the river quickly, Osman ordered the Dashi cavalry on the other side of the river to attack Sun Ren's division.
When Master Sun Ren saw that most of the army of the Great Eaters were still on the other side of the river, only four to five thousand people rushed towards him.
How can I be afraid of you?
While commanding the soldiers to meet the enemy, Master Sun Ren murmured to himself: Commander, that thing of yours must be useful, otherwise your plan will be ruined when all the cannibals pass the stone bridge!
Osman saw that 10,000 to 20,000 troops had arrived on the other side and that the position on the other side was safe, so he also prepared to cross the stone bridge to the east bank of the river.
Just when Osman walked to the shore and before stepping onto the stone bridge,
There was a sudden loud bang in the middle of the stone bridge, and stones flew into the sky. Osman was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
Before the smoke cleared, Osman could see that the stone bridge had been blown up!
The stone bridge broke in the middle and collapsed, and the food troops crossing the river on the bridge fell into the water one after another.
Master Sun Ren held up the telescope and observed carefully:
"It's a pity that it's difficult to hide people under the bridge. Otherwise, there would be no need for the commander's timing device. That thing is unreliable."
"If it had exploded a little later, Osman might have been dead."
Su Chen had already had people install a lot of gunpowder on the stone bridge, but the stone bridge was too small to send people to hide underneath and light the fire.
Su Chen redeemed a simple timing device directly from the system store.
Moments before the Big Eater arrived at the stone bridge, a Marine hiding under the bridge secretly pressed the timer button, then dived into the water, hid under a dead tree floating on the water, and floated downstream.
Su Chen concluded that after the giant eater arrived at the river, he would immediately cross the river through the stone bridge. He only set a delay of a few hours. It would only depend on luck how many giant eater would arrive on the other side of the river.
.
Fortunately, with good luck, only about 20,000 cannibals came to the east bank of the river, and most of the cannibals were still on the other side.
Seeing that the stone bridge was successfully bombed, Master Sun Ren immediately stopped entangled with the cannibals, led 3,000 cavalry to break away from the battle, and retreated backwards.
There were only four to five thousand people who rushed to intercept him, but there were ten to twenty thousand of the cannibals who had already crossed the river.
Seeing that the stone bridge was bombed, I was already rushing towards this direction. If I didn't run, I wouldn't be able to escape.
Sun Renshi immediately calculated off his opponent and retreated with 3,000 cavalry.
After running for more than a mile, I looked back and found that no big cannibal was catching up with me. I secretly cried out that it was a pity.
If the big cannibal dares to catch up, he can get a bargain first when the commander's army comes back later, but it's a pity that the big cannibal is not fooled.
The Big Eater stopped chasing, and Master Sun Ren also stopped running. He turned back and stared at the Big Eater on the river bank from a distance, waiting for the arrival of Su Chen's army.
At the same time, keep an eye on the big cannibals on the shore to see if they will run away directly.
The result made Master Sun Ren very happy. The 20,000 cannibals on the shore were very courageous and continued to wait on the shore for the army on the other side to find a way to cross the river.
Su Chen hurriedly arrived at the river. Master Sun Ren immediately stepped forward and reported: "Commander, there are about 20,000 enemy troops crossing the river. They are basically cavalry. The large troops and baggage are all on the other side of the river."
Su Chen held up the binoculars and took a look: "This is a good number when the time comes. The big eater is trying to find a way to cross the river."
"Soldiers, first destroy the enemy troops on this side of the river!"
Without Su Chen's orders, the soldiers also knew what to do?
The 20,000 cannibal cavalry were separated from their large army by the river and blocked on the bank. What a great opportunity this was!
The 20,000 cavalrymen on the shore saw the Tang army rushing up.
When he saw that there were only about 10,000 people in total, only half of his number, he immediately lost his worries and rushed over again, screaming.
The crossbowmen immediately fired fiercely at the charging man-eating man.
Sun Renshi and Yuchi Baolin each led three thousand cavalry to meet him. They did not charge directly at the cannibal, but took a detour from left to right.
Leave it to the crossbowman to deal full output,
A row of Wugang chariots had been hurriedly pushed to the front to block the oncoming large food cavalry before the big food warriors rushed forward.
Two types of artillery, large and small, began to be prepared, and the rear trebuchets also began to be assembled.
The big eater rushed forward, but the front was blocked by a Wugang chariot.
They wanted to throw gunpowder bombs at the Tang army, but found that the Tang army was standing dozens of meters behind the Wugang chariot, out of reach.
They opened their bows and fired arrows at the Tang army, and found that the damn Tang army even wore heavy armor on their crossbowmen, and their bows and arrows had no lethality against the Tang soldiers.
However, the Tang army's crossbow arrows were very formidable and could easily break through their heavy armor even at a distance of hundreds of steps.
Da Shiren tried to bypass the Wugang chariot from both sides, but was blocked by Sun Renshi and Yuchi Baolin.
Da Shiren suddenly found himself feeling helpless against Tang Jun.
The Tang army was so well prepared that not only were their bows and arrows basically ineffective against them, but ordinary swords were also useless when they struck the Tang army's armor.
The only thing that could cause effective damage to the Tang army was the few gunpowder shells in their hands.
However, with the Wugang chariot blocking the way, the gunpowder bombs could not be thrown into the Tang Army's infantry camp. The effect of throwing gunpowder bombs against the high-speed cavalry was very poor.
There are also heavy weapons such as iron whips, axes, hammers, and maces, which can cause great damage to the Tang army. In order to deal with the Tang people, the Great Eater was also equipped with a large number of such heavy blunt weapons.
However, this type of heavy weapon requires close combat to be used.
Most of the time when encountering the Tang Jun's Ma Shan, who was more than a foot long and had an extremely sharp blade, he had no chance to make a move.
After a face-to-face encounter, Da Shiren realized that he was no match for Tang Jun.
