Wang Renli had already seen through Ibn's strategy, and he came here in person at this time precisely because he had the certainty of attacking him halfway.

Artillery is invincible, this thing can be used to siege cities, and it can also demoralize the enemy in a field battle.

This weapon was initially thought by many to be a weapon to kill and injure the enemy, but in fact its main function was to demoralize the enemy.

The heavy bombardment caused a large number of casualties in the shortest possible time, supplemented by the rumbling sound of artillery, gave people an all-round shock in hearing.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion are the bravest of the Shenwu army, and they are always the first to rush to the forefront in the field, line up the cannons, and give a head-on blow to the enemy in the distant charge.

This time was no exception, when the forward of the Shenwu Army took the position of being about to cross the river, the Great Food Praetorian Guard quickly reacted with a two-sided attack.

At the same time, the Praetorian Guards, lined up on the other side of the Shari River, were ready to launch a surprise attack when the Tang crossed the river.

Ibn watched expressionlessly as the forward of the 5,000-strong Tang soldiers spread out a big battle formation on the bank of the river, while Muhammad was a little nervous, he was afraid that there would be another big retreat the day before.

In that case, the Praetorian Guard would have lost two games in a row, and their hopes of holding Elam City would be lowered by a few points.

Thinking of this, Muhammad glanced at Ibn and saw that his gaze was falling on his face, and he was so frightened that he stumbled and did not know what to explain.

Ibn only let out a snort of disdain, and he didn't have the time to pay much attention to this cowardly and cunning fellow. Of course, he also saw Muhammad's suspicions, and naturally he was even more unhappy.

But the fears came true, and without warning, the sound of rolling thunder came from across the river.

All eyes were drawn to it.

Ibn sneered secretly, this time he was going to ask the Don to leave all these loud weapons behind, and then scurry away.

I'm sure the caliph will love the loot.

It's a pity that the idea is good, but when it really came to the fight, I found that the Tang people did not play their cards according to common sense.

The artillery just fired round after round of salvo fire at the military formation on the bank of the river, and the casualties soon appeared, but the Tang soldiers did not take advantage of this to launch a surprise attack, but simply lined up, beating drums and shouting.

It seems that they are only content to watch the one-man show of artillery.

This embarrassed Ibn for the fact that if he did not attack, the traps he had set would be useless.

But if you sit idly by, you will let the opponent's artillery inflict more casualties on your side.

Under these circumstances, Ibn made a decision that he would regret for years to come.

"The whole army is assaulting, and you want to destroy all the enemies!"

At this time, there were only 5,000 Tang people on the battlefield, and they had a far advantage in numbers, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Of course, Ibn had already received a report from the scouts, and the Tang people did divide the men and horses into three parts: the front, the middle and the back, and only the strikers who occupied a part of the troops entered the battlefield at this time.

Its main force is still behind, but if it can be quickly defeated, Iben is confident that it will be completely annihilated before the last two forces of the Tang people arrive.

Especially after seeing through the shortcomings of artillery, which can only exert firepower from a long distance and cannot fight in close combat, Ibn feels that the so-called mass killing weapon of the Tang people is actually just a thing that scares people more than it is practical.

Unfortunately, Ibn once again knocked down the iron plate, and his head was bleeding.

The artillery battalion immediately changed to loose bullets after the Great Food Guards launched a charge, and countless iron balls and lead bullets shot out, and immediately there was a whole piece of erosion.

Unlike solid bullets, these shotshots can inflict large-area damage on charging enemies at medium and close ranges.

After only one volley, almost all the Great Janissaries who rushed to the front rows were blurred with flesh and blood, and they fell to the ground.

In the second round, a terrifying number of lead bullets were once again projected onto the battlefield, and the Great Janissary Guard fell like a cut leek.

With just two volleys, hundreds of Praetorian Guards were severely damaged, which also took advantage of their charge in a dense formation.

Because only the charge of the dense formation can have a greater impact, in the infantry confrontation, which side has an absolute advantage in the impact power, it is a great advantage, and naturally there is a few more chances of winning.

It's a pity that under the dense bombardment of artillery, the dense formation has become a nightmare for the Great Praetorian Guard.

There was no way to dodge, there was no way to dodge, and even if Ibn ordered the front and rear teams to retreat immediately, they would not be able to get out of the range of the artillery in an instant.

Ibn suddenly realized that he had underestimated the Tang people's combat power, or rather, their ability to scheming.

At this point, there is indeed no way to retreat, and morale can not be frustrated again, otherwise it will cause a long-lasting and indelible shadow on this Praetorian Guard.

In previous wars of expansion, the Praetorian Guard had often brought this shadow to the enemy's armies, and it was difficult for Ibn to accept that he himself was forced to accept such a shadow one day.

In addition to the ambushed army, Ibn sent troops, including the Elam tribal army, to rush at the Tang soldiers, who were arrayed three miles away on the east bank of the river.

Ibn was determined to defeat this Tang striker in one battle, and even if he could not be completely annihilated as planned, he must be scattered and defeated before he could calmly deal with the next main force.

As a result, the artillery battalion was under unprecedented pressure, and as the enemy was getting closer and closer, the space and time for their operations were greatly reduced, and before the enemy could enter a safe distance, all men and artillery had to evacuate and hide behind the infantry formation.

Finally, the soldiers of the artillery battalion began to push the cannons and hurriedly retreated, causing a trace of chaos in the originally neat Shenwu Army formation. Iben, who was in the distance, noticed this, and secretly thought, what is the difference between the Shenwu army and ordinary enemy soldiers without artillery?

It was time for them to get a taste of the might of the Imperial Guard, and under the command of Ibn the large army began to move in the direction of the front and back of the Tang people's front, gradually tightening in the movement, and then besieging the enemy like a pocket, so that they would not even want to escape even if they put on their wings.

Once the encirclement is completely formed, it will be the end of this Tang striker.

Muhammad secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, he was more nervous than the man who fought the battlefield himself. When he saw that the Praetorian Guard was gaining ground on the battlefield under the command of Ibn, the shameful betrayer finally let out a long breath.
