All the bad things Dashi did against the Tang Dynasty all happened after he became the king of Dashi.
Su Chen saw in the telescope that Osman was also holding a telescope to observe himself.
So he reached out and hooked his fingers towards Osman,
Then he put down the telescope, left the high platform he was standing on, and walked towards the rear camp.
"Commander, what were you doing just now?"
Cheng Wuting, who was standing next to him, felt that Su Chen's behavior just now was very strange, so he asked casually.
"Osman also got a pair of telescopes and is watching us from across the river. I said hello to his elder brother."
"Does the Great Eater also have a telescope?"
Rappasu asked.
Telescopes play a huge role on the battlefield. The Persians only have three pairs in hand, all of which were given to them by Su Chen.
I've never seen a giant eater with something like this before.
Now that Su Chen said that Osman had one, wouldn't it mean that the Great Cannibal would also have this thing in the future?
This made Lapu Pasu a little anxious.
"Well, I haven't seen General Dashi use it before. It should be that Osman just bought it and exchanged it not long ago, and he hasn't had time to imitate it."
Su Chen was also very depressed. The telescope was also leaked.
Although the glass firing technology was kept secret by Su Chen,
But the telescope does not have to be made of glass. You can also find some crystals with high transparency. It is not difficult to imitate.
And it is estimated that this thing was only leaked to Dashi recently, otherwise Dashiren would have copied it long ago.
It seems that the traitors within Datang have never lost contact with Dashi!
The telescopes were stolen by these traitors to the cannibals. Su Chen estimated that his hot air balloon would not be kept secret for long.
…
The army camped on the east bank of the river, facing the food army on the west bank of the river across the river.
Sun Renshi and Yuchi Baolin pursued the defeated troops for more than ten miles before the camels were exhausted and slowly returned.
"Commander, we have gained a lot this time. Most of the cannibals on this side of the river should be Ottoman elites,"
"There are nearly 20,000 elite cavalrymen who can escape. It is estimated that the final number will not exceed 5,000!"
After Yuchi Baolin came back, he excitedly reported to Su Chen.
"And our losses this time are very small,"
"Preliminary statistics show that our casualties this time are less than 500, and the Persian casualties will probably not exceed 300."
Su Chen nodded and was very satisfied with the result.
When the bridge was bombed, the Dashi army that had already crossed the river was about 20,000 strong.
There are at least 15,000 or more elite Ottoman soldiers.
Knowing that the enemy is not far away from us, we must first let some elite troops cross the bridge first, and then hold the bridgehead position to cover the large troops crossing the river.
Osman's plan was right, but he didn't expect that the bridge would be suddenly blown up by Su Chen while the army was crossing the bridge.
If Osman had been cautious, he should have ordered the more than 20,000 troops on the other side of the river to quickly retreat in both directions as soon as the bridge was bombed.
At that time, Su Chen's army had not returned yet, and Master Sun Ren's three thousand troops could only watch the giant eater leave.
However, Osman overestimated the combat power of his elite cavalry and wanted them to resist the Tang army on the other side of the river, while he would find a way to cross the river as soon as possible.
Then it was tragic. In front of the Tang army, there was no difference between the so-called elite and not elite.
"According to our previous intelligence, there are about 100,000 elite troops in Ottoman hands, of which 40,000 are confronting Byzantium in the northwest Damascus area,"
"This time plus the last battle of Basra, we should have killed more than 20,000 people,"
"The Ottomans still have less than 40,000 elite troops in the Mesopotamia, and some of them must still need to stay in Ctesiphon."
"Then there should be less than 30,000 elites in front of us."
"These are our final goals. As long as these two to thirty thousand elites are eliminated, the mission of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty will be basically completed!"
Everyone was a little excited after hearing this. It has been almost a year since they left Datang and they have long wanted to go back.
Especially now that summer is here, the high temperature in West Asia is making it very difficult for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
All the soldiers were looking forward to ending the war as soon as possible.
Prophet Su Chen gave a clear goal, and the goal is right in front of him.
Everyone is a little anxious, looking forward to the final battle with the big food army on the other side as soon as possible.
"Commander, the exact number of the food army across the river is unclear, but it should exceed 60,000, and it was conquered by Ottoman himself."
"Our two coalition forces here only have 10,000 people, so it won't be that easy to defeat the enemy."
Cheng Wu was quite cautious and a little worried about the current war situation.
Master Sun Ren also nodded: "Commander, it's better for us to disperse the enemies, otherwise we will suffer a lot!"
Su Chen shook his head: "A cannibal is not stupid. He has suffered several losses. How could he be fooled?"
"Didn't you see that Osman brought everyone with him when he came out this time?"
"It's just that we suddenly blew up the bridge, so we got a bargain."
We are watching
Liu Jingren said: "I saw the big cannibals collecting boats from the upper reaches. Even if this section of the river is only a few dozen meters wide, it would not be easy for them to cross the river."
Cheng Wuting shook his head and said: "The big cannibal probably won't cross the river. The collection of ships should be Osman's previous order."
"After the bridge was bombed, Ottoman did not ask the troops on this side of the river to evacuate immediately. He probably wanted them to cover the large troops on the other side to cross the river."
"Now that Osman has suffered a big loss, he will definitely not think about crossing the river to fight again."
Su Chen nodded: "The decisive battle between us and the big cannibal probably won't happen here."
"Then what should we do? The bridge was blown up, and we can't go to the west bank of the river ourselves."
Liu Jingren asked.
"Let's rest here first. It is estimated that the Ottomans on the opposite side will leave soon, and then we will continue to march northeast."
With that said, Su Chen said to Lapu Pasu, "Rapu Pasu, you immediately send someone to collect the boats on the east bank of the river."
Rapupasu agreed and went down to make arrangements.
Su Chen made arrangements for tonight's rotation, and everyone dispersed.
…
Early the next morning,
Su Chen got up and went to the river and found that the big cannibals on the other side had begun to retreat.
"This Osman is really cool!"
Master Sun Ren, who was observing the enemy camp next to him, put down his telescope and said to Su Chen:
"Commander, Osman is indeed walking in a hurry, it's a bit strange!"
Su Chen said indifferently: "Whatever, let's break camp immediately!"
The two armies fought a bloody battle here yesterday and left early the next morning.
Su Chen was too lazy to guess why Osman was in such a hurry to leave.
Now that the big cannibals on the other side have retreated, I will go and capture the northeastern Dinivar as soon as possible, and then see how Osman reacts.
Two days later, Su Chen stood on the bank of a large river, watching the army crossing the river, and chatting with Lapu Pasu beside him.
