Most of the 20,000 cavalrymen who crossed the river in Dashi were elite men under the Ottomans.
Even if the equipment is at an absolute disadvantage, a single charge will cause heavy casualties.
But he had no intention of retreating and still rushed towards the Tang army's position regardless of his own safety.
Braving the dense rain of arrows, the big eater rushed to the Wugang chariot and threw the grappling hook.
Grab the Wugang chariot and use your camel to pull it back.
Since the first batch of Wugang carts were pushed forward in a hurry, they were not firmly fixed to the ground, and the iron chains between the Wugang carts were not fastened in time.
Therefore, although the cannibals paid a heavy price, the Wugang chariot in the front row was quickly towed away by them.
But this is of no use to the giant cannibal,
Because while they were trying to pull away the first row of Wugang vehicles, the second row of Wugang vehicles were already ready.
The Tang army quickly retreated a hundred or ten meters, and all retreated behind the second row of Wugang vehicles.
The Dashi cavalry tried to rush forward and tow the second row of martial arts carts, but found that this row of martial arts carts was firmly nailed to the ground, and the camels could not pull it at all.
At the same time, the artillery was also ready,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bowl-mouth blunderbuss and the field artillery fired together, and the large man-eating cavalry within a few dozen meters in front were immediately cleared away. The ground was littered with broken limbs and a blur of flesh and blood.
After the Wugang chariots in front were arranged, the Tang army pushed more Wugang chariots to both sides, extending in an arc to both sides.
The large food cavalry on both sides launched a desperate charge,
They were all guarded by Sun Renshi and Yuchi Baolin.
After the artillery started firing, the pressure directly in front of the Tang army was immediately relieved.
More crossbowmen began to support the two wings,
The trebuchets were also assembled one by one, and a large number of kerosene bombs and gunpowder bombs were thrown towards the big man-eater.
At this point, it was almost difficult for the cannibals to get close to the Tang army's position.
Last time in Medina, Su Chen's 3,000 men were able to withstand the attack of 30,000 cannibals.
Not to mention that Su Chen had 10,000 Persians this time.
"Sure enough, as the commander-in-chief said, in front of artillery and bombs, there is not much difference between the cannibal elite and the ordinary army!"
Lapu Pasu came to Su Chen and said.
Su Chen looked at the battlefield without pretending to be humble.
The elite of Dashi are compared to other armies. In front of the Tang army, they are indeed no different from ordinary Dashi troops.
The armor of the Tang army cannot be cut, just like the ordinary army.
Ordinary troops would be pierced through armor by an arrow from the Tang army and blown into pieces by a cannon. The same would be true for Dashi's elite troops.
What attributes they have that are higher than the ordinary army can be ignored in front of the Tang army.
Su Chen glanced at the Persian who was manipulating a bowl-mouth gun, and charged with the Marines against the Persian cavalry, and said to Rapupasu:
"After several months of training, your three thousand Persian elites have grown very quickly and are now in shape."
"Except for the Tang Army, they should be the ones with the highest combat power in the Mesopotamia."
"Thank you for everything, Commander-in-Chief, for your gifts and teachings!"
Rapupasu said to Su Chen very gratefully.
After learning that Heraclius was being smart, Suchen immediately gave up his hopes for Byzantium and instead vigorously supported Persia.
Su Chen directly gave Rapupasu three thousand alloy armors and began to teach them how to control the artillery.
The three thousand Persian elites who followed the Tang army to the north this time were wearing the same armor and holding the same weapons as the Tang army. They were almost as good as the Tang army in fighting.
Su Chen had even planned to give Persia a batch of field cannons and bowl-mouth blunderbuss as gifts when he returned to the Tang Dynasty.
Anyway, these things will be retired after returning to the Tang Dynasty. It is better to leave some to the Persians.
Let them fight against the giant cannibal here.
With the roar of artillery, more than half of the 20,000 cannibals on the east bank of the river were quickly killed or injured.
The defeat has not even begun yet! The army of Dashi is absolutely number one in the world in terms of staying on the heels of death.
The military brainwashed by religion cannot be understood by ordinary people's thinking.
The big eater gave up the attack and began to retreat backwards,
But behind them is the Euphrates River, where can they retreat?
The Great Eater chose to attack proactively at first, not just because he saw that the Tang army was smaller in number than them.
More importantly, they did not want to be blocked by the Tang army on the river bank, otherwise all the advantages of their cavalry would be lost.
Now that the active attack had failed, they could no longer care so much and began to retreat towards the river. At least they would first get away from the attacks of the Tang army's artillery, crossbows and trebuchets.
The big eater began to retreat, and the Tang army began to move forward.
Now Dashi’s numerical advantage is no longer obvious.
Sun Renshi and Yuchi Baolin led two cavalrymen and followed closely behind the Great Eater. The crossbowmen also stepped out of the protection of the Wugang chariot and followed the cavalry to provide long-range support.
Two deep horn blasts sounded from the other side of the river,
Lapu Pasu said: "The big eater is running away!"
He saw the giant eater slowly retreating, and after hearing the sound of the horn, he immediately reorganized his formation.
Then it divided into two parts and rushed towards the north and south directions.
Sun Renshi and Yuchi Baolin had long expected that the Big Eater would come to attack them. When the Big Eater began to reorganize their formation, they had already rushed forward and started intercepting them from the north and south.
The cavalry battle between Dashi and Datang heated up instantly!
Although the Tang army's equipment was far superior to that of Dashi, Dashi's cavalry had to desperately break through the interception and escape.
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty really couldn't stop the elite of Dashi.
After leaving more than 2,000 casualties, the Dashi cavalry broke through the interception of Sun Renshi and Yuchi Baolin and fled in both directions.
Sun Renshi and Yuchi Baolin were chasing after them.
At this time, the Dashi Cavalry was finally completely defeated and just ran for their lives.
Su Chen ignored the fleeing cavalry and stared at the other side of the river.
Osman stood by the river, his eyes almost bleeding:
There are 60,000 to 70,000 troops beside him,
But because there is a river in front of them, they cannot support the 20,000 elites on the other side of the river.
He could only watch helplessly as his 20,000 elite troops were wiped out by the Tang army.
Although Dashi had been defeated by the Tang army several times,
But after Osman witnessed the shocking battle with his own eyes, he had to admit that he still greatly underestimated the Tang army's combat effectiveness.
The Tang army did not achieve victory solely by relying on powerful artillery.
Even if you compare your best Bedouin cavalry with the Tang army's cavalry, there is still a huge difference.
Osman hung a telescope on his chest, which he had just obtained from the defecting nobles of the Tang Dynasty. This was the only one he had in the whole country.
Osman raised his telescope and began to search for the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army. He heard that he was a very young man, and he wanted to see what he looked like today.
In fact, Su Chen had already discovered Osman on the other side of the river and had been staring at him with a telescope!
From his clothes and the guards around him, Su Chen could conclude that the old guy standing by the river holding a pair of binoculars was Osman.
