"Immediately mobilize a force of 5,000 men and station them outside our camp. If the Tang army makes any move, have them charge immediately. Anyone who dares to retreat will have their entire family executed."
Muhammad said very arrogantly that he believed that the Tang army was just pretending and it was impossible for them to charge again. Looking at the current situation, it can be seen that the Tang army is already at the end of its strength. The reason why they ran here to set up camp is nothing more than to show an attitude, that is, they have already fought here.
Muhammad's idea was simple: Don't the Tang army have the advantage during the day? Then I'll give them the daytime. After dark, I'll personally lead my men to raid the camp and see how capable the Tang army is. Of course, to prevent a real attack from the Tang army, he'd have to mobilize another 5,000-man army. If they did, this 5,000-man force would be enough to hold them back.
However, less than a minute after he gave the order, the Tang army's artillery shells had already arrived, and everyone watched helplessly as the Tang army's artillery shells exploded two hundred meters in front of them.
There are still some people who have experienced the last war. They have already described this scene in the military camp, but unfortunately many people do not believe it. Some generals even regard them as monsters and beat them on the back until they are bleeding. Now these generals are speechless. There really are such powerful weapons in the world, and they are in the hands of our enemies.
Muhammad also found it hard to believe all this, but at this moment he suddenly understood that if they were defeated by such weapons, let alone three thousand-man teams, even if there were two more, they would probably not be able to hold on. Their shooting just now was too inaccurate, and they were still hundreds of meters away from our military camp.
"General, the Tang army seems to be continuing its advance."
A scout leader saw all this. Because of the terrain between the two armies, many places could not be seen clearly at a glance, so the estimators in the Tang army made mistakes, which led to us firing artillery in advance, otherwise these shells would have fallen into the Arab army.
Who is Li Chengyi? If he can attack you at 3 o'clock, he definitely won't wait until 3:15. His army has already assembled, and its combat effectiveness is not much different. The Arab camp in front of him is like a huge piece of fat meat. If you put the meat at his mouth and don't let him eat it, it will definitely make this guy anxious to death.
If Westerners saw this Arab military camp, they would probably be scared to wet their pants, but Li Chengyi was not like those Westerners. He immediately ordered his artillerymen to enter combat status and fired two shells first to calibrate the target. After the two shells exploded, his artillerymen began to push the artillery cart slowly forward. The forward speed in the desert was too slow. If it were in the grassland or other places, it would have been pushed through in a short while. It took twice as long in the desert.
However, when the 5,000 troops of the Arab Empire began to mobilize, the 36 artillery pieces had already started shelling. They didn't care how the Arab Empire's troops were mobilized. Anyway, the order we received was to fight fiercely. As long as we used up all the artillery shells we brought, our mission would be accomplished.
Behind them, more than sixty crossbows were ready. If anyone rushed over, these crossbows would create a barrage of bullets to stop all the rushing people. The musketeers and archers were also ready. It could almost be said to be a quartet of the Tang Dynasty army.
The shells exploded in the Arab Empire camp, and many tents were directly set on fire. Muhammad had never seen such an attack method. He was thinking of letting his 5,000 people charge and use this to test the strength of the Tang Dynasty army. Now there is no need to try at all. The Tang Dynasty army will not give you this opportunity at all. Except for a dozen cavalrymen and the camp gate, the rest of your 5,000 people are being bombed at the gate.
"Charge out, charge out immediately, and head towards the Tang army."
Muhammad spoke loudly while riding his warhorse. The 5,000 cavalrymen also felt it. If they crowded at the door, a shell would fall and dozens of people might be affected. If they rushed out and dispersed, there would definitely not be such heavy casualties.
When this military camp was first built, the border area was built very solidly and very high, because they were afraid that the Tang Dynasty cavalry would rush in directly. Now their soldiers can't rush out and can only rush out from the narrow camp gate. If there were no artillery shells, four cavalrymen could rush out each time. Now because of the explosions around, not a single cavalryman can rush out. Do you think rushing out is that easy?
For these soldiers, they certainly knew what was going on, but the generals above them did not understand. They just felt that their soldiers were a little afraid of fighting. They even took out their own knives and ordered their personal soldiers to form a supervision team, forcing these soldiers to rush out step by step.
There's a sea of fire ahead, but your general ordered you to charge in. Isn't that killing you? Many soldiers initially endured it, but as they got closer and closer to the flames, the burning sensation practically cooked them. How could they possibly charge out in such a situation? If they really were going to charge, why didn't you generals lead the charge?
When the first soldier who resisted appeared, there would be a second one. A small leader was pulled down by his men and kicked into the sea of fire. The remaining soldiers followed suit. If you don’t take our lives seriously, don’t expect us to take your lives seriously.
Muhammad never imagined that the Tang army had arrived here and had turned his military camp into this state in less than two cups of tea. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that what he saw was real.
"Supervisory team."
In desperation, Muhammad could only use his trump card. His two thousand personal soldiers formed a supervision team. This army is the military police in the current army. These cavalrymen must be forced to rush out, otherwise they will wander around the camp gate, resulting in greater casualties and affecting the entire army.
