The Tang army's Wugang chariots, artillery and other baggage troops were not marching forward in a haphazard manner.
Instead, they were evenly divided into many groups. After each group saw the big eater rushing up, they first opened fire to bombard the enemy.
Then they threw away the artillery and ran to gather in front of the nearby Wugang chariot to quickly reorganize the military formation.
Not many cavalrymen rushed over, but they charged towards the field artillery. There was no formation to speak of.
After a round of shelling, the remaining cavalrymen suddenly discovered:
There is no good way to take advantage of the Tang army's small spear formations.
Moreover, the crossbowmen hiding behind the spears were very quickly harvesting the lives of the Great Eater Cavalry.
The Dashi cavalry who had already rushed into the Tang Army's formation had no choice but to attack the Tang Army's spear formations one by one.
The two sides immediately met hand-to-hand, and the battle became fierce!
Su Chen looked at the situation on the battlefield from a distance and shook his head:
"The Wugang chariot should be equipped with two bowl-mouth blunderbuss, so that the spear array will be much easier to face the attack of the giant cannibal,"
"And the artillery bombardment just now, the firepower obviously overflowed..."
Master Sun Ren nodded: "Commander, after all, this is the first time to form a formation like this, so some oversights are inevitable!"
Lapu Pasu looked around and saw a large group of cavalry that had escaped from the Tang army's interception and was rushing towards them at high speed.
"Commander, I'll let you know how you feel in the future!"
"We're being targeted!"
Su Chen smiled: "Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"My handsome hands just happen to be itchy!"
"This battle is probably our last battle with Osman. Let me give them a perfect ending."
Rapupasu had no choice but to prepare for battle, but still hid behind his guards. He was a scumbag on the battlefield.
Fortunately, there are less than 500 enemies rushing over, and there are 300 to 400 personal guards here, so there should be no danger.
Master Sun Ren didn't say anything, he had already started to draw the bow and shoot arrows with his bodyguard.
A heavy armored cavalry rushed over, and a hail of arrows did not cause many casualties to them.
Master Sun Ren shook his head helplessly, picked up the horse and prepared to face the enemy.
"Don't steal your head from me!"
Su Chen had already rushed out first.
Although Master Sun Ren didn't understand what was going on, he also knew that Su Chen's current strength was definitely not inferior to his.
Therefore, he did not dissuade Su Chen from his actions, and just followed Su Chen and rushed forward with his bodyguards.
The leader of the Dashi Cavalry who rushed over saw Su Chen coming towards him and sneered in his heart:
This pretty boy should be Su Chen, the leader of the Tang Army. I heard from the nobles of the Tang Dynasty that he was a weak scholar.
You dare to rush over like this, you just don’t know whether to live or die!
Apparently, the news that Su Chen killed the great eater in Basra last time with one move did not spread to the eater.
Seeing that Su Chen was already in front of him, the leader of the Dashi Cavalry raised his spear and stabbed Su Chen directly in the chest.
Su Chen lifted up his horse spear seemingly casually, and the spear in the leader's hand of the Great Food Cavalry almost flew out of his hand.
Pushing aside the enemy general's thrusting spear, Su Chen took advantage of the situation and swung his horse towards the enemy general.
What?
This is impossible!
The leader of the Dashi Cavalry was so frightened that he ignored the numbness in his arms and the pain in the tiger's mouth. He hurriedly leaned back, trying to avoid Su Chen's horse.
However, he was still a step too late and was slapped on the body by Su Chen.
The leader of the Great Food Cavalry spurted out a mouthful of blood and was knocked off his horse by Su Chen's horse pole!
Seeing that Su Chen knocked down the enemy in another round, Master Sun Ren next to him was slightly surprised, and then dealt a ruthless blow to the opponent in front of him.
The large food cavalry that rushed over were no match for Su Chen's personal guards. The leader was knocked off his horse by Su Chen within one round of meeting.
The remaining Dashi cavalry suddenly lost their courage and turned their horses around to escape.
How could Master Sun Ren let them go and chase them with two hundred men?
When Xue Rengui saw a fish that had slipped through the net and rushed toward Su Chen, he immediately led hundreds of people to get rid of the opponent and rush back.
They happened to run into the large eater who turned around and fled. Together with Master Sun Ren, they attacked from both sides and wiped out the large eater cavalry.
When Su Chen saw Master Sun Ren chasing after him, he stopped chasing after him and said to the bodyguard who followed behind him:
"See if you're still alive?"
Su Chen didn't use all his strength just now, and the enemy general he knocked down was lucky enough not to be trampled by the rebel army's horse hooves, so he probably still had a chance to survive.
One of the guards dismounted and felt the pulse of the enemy general's neck: "Commander, he is still alive!"
Then he looked at the place where Su Chen had picked him, and added: "It's hard to say how long you can survive!"
Su Chen waved his hand, and the guards found a horse and tied the unconscious enemy general to the horse's back.
At this time, a low horn sound came from the Dashi military camp by the river.
Su Chen shook his head, it seemed that the battle was about to end.
Sure enough, as Su Chen expected, when the Dashi army who was fighting with the Tang army heard the horn sound, they immediately shook off their opponents and fled in all directions!
Yuchi Baolin, Liu Jingren and Xue Rengui led 3,000 men to pursue the fleeing Dashi cavalry,
Su Chen, Cheng Wuting, and Sun Renshi led a large group of troops into the cannibal's camp, and then came to the pontoon by the river.
Osman had already led a large group of troops to the other side of the river. There was no one in the camp or on the pontoon.
Su Chen camped next to the pontoon bridge, facing Osman on the other side of the river.
"Commander, preliminary estimates suggest that around 6,000 enemies were wiped out this time, and our army suffered about 1,000 casualties."
After Yuchi Baolin and others returned from chasing the enemy, everyone made preliminary statistics on the results of the battle.
Su Chen sighed and said: "Once we leave the powerful lethality of artillery, the battle damage will immediately increase!"
"Try to avoid such melees with the enemy in the future!"
Liu Jingren smiled and said: "Commander, will we fight against the cannibal in the future?"
Su Chen also smiled: "It depends on what Osman on the other side of the river thinks!"
Everyone feels that given the current situation of Osman, it is unlikely that he will continue to hold on to his death.
But this old guy has never sent an envoy to contact the Tang army until now, so it's hard to tell everything.
"Commander, what should we do next?"
Su Chen said: "Just stare at Osman on the other side to see what his plans are."
"We just need to take a break!"
Su Chen and Osman camped at both ends of the pontoon bridge on both sides of the river. The two armies faced each other across the river and faced each other.
Three days passed without any movement from the Ottoman side.
Su Chen was a little angry, Osman was so shameless!
They are about to send a hot air balloon to bomb the Ottoman camp again, urging Osman to make plans early.
At this time, Li Chengqian suddenly sent an urgent letter to Su Chen from Basra.
After reading the letter, Su Chen said angrily: "This Osman is really not a thing!"
