According to Muhammad's idea, such a supervision team would only be sent to the battlefield when the war reached a fever pitch. It was not necessary now. However, he did not expect such a thing to happen at the very beginning. If he could not stabilize these thousands of cavalrymen, the entire military camp would probably be in chaos.
At the beginning, these people were just wandering around the north gate, but now some of them are on fire. In order to get themselves rescued, they have started running around the entire military camp. If all people do this, the large tents around them will soon be set on fire, which will not do them any good.
After receiving Muhammad's order, those present immediately rushed forward with swords in hand. After killing more than twenty cavalrymen, the blood finally calmed them down. However, they could not rush out. There was a sea of fire burning in front of them and people were killing them behind them. After they thought about it, only some of them rushed out. As for the rest, they raised their scimitars and killed the general's supervision team.
We all share the same responsibility, and we are all part of the Arab Empire. Why do you hold your swords to our heads? We are all the same on this point. If you had the ability, you should be mounting your horses and fighting the Tang army to the death, rather than forcing us into battle.
Seeing this scene, Muhammad was almost furious. Is this his elite army? When they encountered the Tang army, they were stunned. They actually fought against each other. Muhammad never dreamed of such a situation, but for the people of the Tang army, this situation was very normal.
In the past, when they were marching eastward to Fuso, they had encountered such a thing. The Fuso army could not rush into the camp of the Tang army, but the general kept forcing them to rush forward, which eventually led to a fight among the people in the entire military camp. The Tang army did not suffer any damage, but their losses were greater than if they had fought a war. Now the army of the Arab Empire is going to repeat the same thing again.
"The artillery fire continues."
Li Chengyi also tied himself to the sounding balloon at this moment. Although this was a bit dangerous, he could see the situation in front clearly. There were two other messengers beside him. They were only a few meters away, and these people could still hear Li Chengyi's voice.
The cavalry on the ground thought it was time for them to attack, after all, the power of the artillerymen had passed. Who knew that the general had no intention of letting them attack. Now the enemy camp was in chaos. If the cavalry really rushed over, although it might cause them some damage, the damage would definitely not be as great as that of the artillery. Now we let the artillery continue to extend inward, which means that the chaos will continue to move inward.
Muhammad and his men also discovered that the artillery fire had only exploded in the peripheral areas just now, but now the shells were close to the main camp.
"Pass on my orders. Send an army from the south gate. Have them use rapid mobile warfare to attack the flanks of the Tang army. We must crush them. We can't let them continue to launch these weapons. If they continue to launch these weapons, we will all be dead."
Muhammad also realized that the burning wall of fire in the north prevented the army from rushing out. If they were forced to rush out, it would only bring us all kinds of disasters. So in this case, they could only take a detour from the south. Of course, doing so might be discovered. Once discovered, they might be sniped on the road, but he couldn't care less now.
After receiving the order, the general in the south immediately gathered thousands of his men. Although they were afraid of the fireball, the general's order had already been issued. If you don't hurry up and go up, you will definitely be beheaded in the end, so in this situation, no one can escape.
Some people can understand the interests involved, but some people don't. In the eyes of these people, they only want to save their own lives, so on the way to charge, many people deliberately slowed down. It takes at most two quarters of an hour to rush from the south gate to the north, but from the generals to the soldiers, they took nearly twice as long and still haven't seen the Tang Dynasty camp.
"General, look, there's another army. They must have come from a roundabout way. Should we cavalry over and kill them?"
The Tang Dynasty's cavalry is already ready to fight. If you don't let us charge and extend the artillery fire, there are new troops coming. If we don't let the cavalry rush up to stop them, they are likely to rush into our camp, and then we won't be able to stop them even if we want to.
"Order the musketeers to hold them back, and the crossbowmen to provide cover."
Li Chengyi ignored the words of the cavalry general next to him, but ordered the musketeers to charge forward immediately. He had just witnessed the power of the musketeers, so it was naturally impossible for him to let the cavalry fight against the cavalry now.
It's not that our cavalry will lose to them, but if our cavalry fights with them in the most primitive way, it will also cause us considerable casualties. These musketeers are of course no problem. Compared with the Arab cavalry, they are like an advanced generation of troops, and their strength on the battlefield will not be much different.
More than two thousand musketeers broke out in an instant. Their marching speed was not very fast. Most of the troops were marching forward in neat rows, and there were people beating drums beside them. They were marching forward to the beat of the drums.
Li Xiang had improved the Tang Dynasty's musketeers and brought in the 18th-century system in advance. When the Arab cavalry saw these musketeers marching forward to the beat of drums, they even laughed. They really wanted to see which Tang Dynasty general was in command and could make such a stupid decision to let your infantry face our cavalry. What were you thinking?
According to the Arab cavalry's thinking, even if they wanted to give us credit, they wouldn't be so stupid, right?
"Warriors, they have made the worst mistake. Let us rush over and chop off their heads to offer as a sacrifice to our true God and our dead brothers. Let them know how powerful the great Arab cavalry is."
The Arab cavalry general waved his sword and said, "My men were a little scared at first, but what do we have to be afraid of when facing infantry?"
