Following Cheng Wuting's order, field artillery, bowl-mouth blunderbuss, and hundreds of artillery opened fire at the same time.
This is the largest artillery salvo ever fired!
The Tang army's position was suddenly filled with smoke. Hundreds of large and small projectiles flew into the sky, and then hit the Dashi Cavalry who was sprinting with all their strength with huge kinetic energy.
Muvier was lucky enough not to be hit by the shells, and ran to the left side of the battlefield with some of his troops.
He looked back at the miserable subordinates behind him, gritted his teeth, and watched the large group of people behind him continue to rush towards the Tang Army's position.
After a round of salvo fire, the Tang Army's artillery took a while to reload.
And his own large group of troops was only more than a hundred meters away from the Tang army's position.
Mu Weiye wanted to see how much damage he could cause to the Tang army next.
The big cannibal who rushed towards the Tang army's formation did not notice that there was an extra metal pipe on the Wugang cart in front.
The Dashi cavalry rushed in front of the Wugang chariot, and before they had time to throw out the gunpowder bombs in their hands,
Streams of flames spurted out from the metal nozzles of the Wugang vehicle. The large food cavalry rushing in front were instantly swallowed up by the fierce flames, and the front of the position suddenly became a place where fire dragons were raging.
Some of the cavalrymen died instantly, while more severely burned cavalrymen ran around desperately.
Feeling the terror of the high-temperature flames, the camels that the cavalry sat on did not obey the rider's orders at all, and instinctively fled in all directions to avoid the flames.
Before the cavalrymen behind them could stop, they collided with the cavalrymen running around in front of them. The scene was very chaotic!
There are two types of flamethrowers that Su Chen made. One is a personal weapon used to attack Xila City.
Using compressed air as power to push the fuel tank to inject fuel was a relatively complicated process, and Su Chen didn't do much of it.
The pressure of the compressed air from the air pump is not high, the injection distance is less than twenty meters, and the fuel tank does not have much fuel, which is only enough for combustion in a few minutes, but it is lightweight and convenient.
The other type is the one that is currently spraying flames in front of the Wugang vehicle. This type has a shorter range, less than ten meters, but its structure is simple. To put it bluntly, it is a centrifugal pump.
The two soldiers shook the handles to pull out the kerosene from the oil barrel, transported it through the hose to the nozzle attached to the Wugang vehicle, and then ignited the sprayed kerosene.
The oil pump and the nozzle can be connected through a metal hose, with a distance in between, which is beneficial to the protection of the oil barrel and the oil pump.
The metal hoses used in the two flamethrowers were all exchanged by Su Chen from the system store. Apart from being surprised, everyone had no other doubts.
Just like the fire hose, after understanding the principle, Su Chen's craftsmen were able to make a metal hose even if they worked hard, but the quality and speed were disappointing.
With the flamethrower constantly spraying flames, the Dashi cavalry did not dare to get too close to the Wugang chariot and could not destroy the Wugang chariot blocking the Tang army's formation.
The trebuchets and crossbows behind the Tang army's position were constantly harvesting the lives of the chaotic cavalry in front of the Wugang chariot.
After another volley of artillery fire, Mouvier had no choice but to give the order to stop the attack in despair.
At the same time, Osman also ordered the entire army to retreat.
More than 30,000 food elites hurried outside the city of Shila,
After only a brief encounter with the Tang army, they suffered thousands losses and then retreated northward silently.
"The flamethrower is still very useful. I can get more in the future."
Su Chen said to Cheng Wu beside him.
"This thing is actually more suitable for defending the city. The wooden handle grenade is a good thing for advancing, attacking, retreating and defending."
Cheng Wuting said with some reluctance as he watched the big eater slowly retreating.
"If there were more of those things, the cannibals would never be able to evacuate without paying some price."
Although the cannibal suffered a loss, he did not flee in defeat.
The 20,000 to 30,000 elite Dashi cavalry wanted to retreat, but the Tang army was really unable to stop them.
Xue Rengui and Liu Jingren followed with three thousand cavalry and did not dare to get too close.
If the cannibal went crazy and suddenly rushed over, without the support of artillery from the rear, the two of them would have no choice but to run.
To put it bluntly, the current lethality of the Tang Army mainly relies on gunpowder.
Although the Tang army's iron cavalry was far more powerful than the Dashi cavalry, their numbers were limited.
Su Chen smiled and said: "The craftsmen are gradually becoming more proficient, and we will make more grenades in the future."
"Now the Ottomans no longer have the city of Shira as a barrier, and they have also lost all their artillery, trebuchets and other long-range ordnance, and they no longer pose much of a threat to our army,"
"Next, we just need to chase Osman to expand our results!"
In Su Chen's view, after taking the city of Shila, the expedition against Dashi has officially come to an end.
The next step will be to see when Osman relents.
Without artillery and trebuchets, the Ottomans, who had only tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry left, could no longer cause much damage to the Tang army.
Master Sun Ren completely eliminated the remaining enemies in Xila City and came to report to Su Chen:
"Commander! Most of the defenders of Shila City have fled westward. The real casualties of the cannibals should be less than 6,000."
Cheng Wuting smiled: "With less than 20% casualties, they abandoned the city and fled. It seems that the cannibals really have no will to resist now."
"In the past, the cannibals would launch a fierce charge if they suffered half casualties."
Su Chen: "The ones staying in the city should all be local troops. Look at the Ottoman elite just now, their morale is quite high."
"It doesn't matter how many enemies we kill in taking Hilla City. The key is to make the Ottomans lose all their artillery and other heavy ordnance, thus eliminating the threat to our army."
Sun Renshi laughed loudly and said: "Ottoman only has 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry and a small number of infantry left. Let's see how he can fight with us."
Su Chen also smiled and said, "We'll find out if we follow up and take a look,"
With that said, Su Chen also ordered the army to go north.
Now is the time to expand the results and pursue Osman.
"We are pulling artillery and military vehicles, and our marching speed is too slow."
"Osman built a pontoon bridge upstream. Don't wait for us to arrive. Osman ran away!"
Master Sun Ren was a little anxious as he watched the army advance slowly.
Su Chen: "There is no way. If we don't bring these, we will suffer a huge loss if we have ten thousand people against the Ottoman thirty or forty thousand elites."
"The pontoon bridge was not erected so quickly. With so many people, it was not easy to cross the river."
The hot air balloon never stopped monitoring the pontoon bridge upstream. Even if Ottoman mobilized a lot of manpower from the east bank of the river, it would be impossible to complete the erection of the pontoon bridge in a short time.
The army marched more than twenty miles north and set up camp five miles south of the main camp on the Ottoman River.
Su Chen discussed tomorrow's military operations with everyone in the Chinese army's tent.
"According to the current speed, it is estimated that the Ottoman pontoon bridge will be able to pass at noon tomorrow."
Su Chen pointed at the map and said.
"Commander, shall we attack the Ottomans tomorrow morning?"
Everyone was a little excited. The war with Dashi had finally come to an end. Maybe tomorrow would be the last battle with Osman.
