Zheng Xianli rushed back from the front of the battle, and brought back a crucial news, the army of the Great Cannibals was dispatched, but it was completely different from what was expected, they actually drove south.

Originally, Qin Jin was reclining on the military couch, but when he heard the news, he got up.

"Mahdi finally can't bear it anymore!"

At this time, Qin Jin was already sleepy, and his eyes burst with a dazzling light.

Zheng Xianli came to Qin Jin's side, and his voice was full of excitement.

"Yes, Mahdi didn't dare to attack head-on, and planned to pull out the field battle, so he would satisfy them!"

The Shenwu army has been fighting for many days, and it can be said that after crossing the green ridge, there has been almost no fighting.

Previously, whether in Tianzhu or Tocharo, the front was all vassal armies, especially the Persians, Bakhana and Tiele people.

Although these vassal armies fought bravely, they had a natural fear of the Great Food Army, and this fear was like a mouse being afraid of a cat, which had penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

After all, the killing of the Great Cannibal for more than 100 years has already scared them, but it is not something that can be changed in just over a year.

The Shenwu Army was different, they had just won the counterinsurgency war at home, defeated Yusuf's Eastern Expeditionary Army at Zhangye, and then swept Tocharian and Tianzhu with the might of victory. They are now all hungry tigers and wolves, eager to tear apart all the enemies that stand in their way.

"Let's go, let's go and see how many people are left in their base camp!"

The two of them went out of the door, and the guards immediately followed, escorting them out of the barracks, at this time, Qin Jin was more inclined to take a look at himself and grasp some first-hand dynamics, so that he could be more confident.

The camps of the two sides are about more than ten miles apart, and the scene of the rangers coming and going and hunting each other is gone, and all that remains is the wild grass and the south wind.

This situation is indeed rare, and it seems that the Great Cannibal has given up on the intention of a frontal assault, otherwise he would not have withdrawn all the rangers.

Now, the rangers of the Shenwu Army have also withdrawn, and they are all scattered near the left side of the camp, ready at any time.

During the days of confrontation, Qin Jin had already walked between the two armies and camps for an unknown number of times, and he was also familiar with the terrain, and the group stopped at the point where they could reach the limit of approaching the Great Food Barracks.

More than 100 cavalry guards Qin Jin and Zheng Xianli, standing on an obvious slope, a stone's throw away from the military camp of Dashi, and the heads of people moving inside can be seen clearly.

After carefully observing for a while, Zheng Xianli said:

"It's obviously bluffing, confusing the public, believe it or not, with our artillery attack, it will definitely be broken!"

Of course, this is a bit full, but Qin Jin doesn't think it's impossible.

It's just that the victory that was stormed at an inappropriate price was not what Qin Jin was pursuing.

The Shenwu army fought far away from the mainland, and although it was very difficult to supply materials, the most difficult thing was manpower. When a soldier dies, there is one less, so when Qin Jin thinks about a battle, he will take into account the proportion of possible casualties.

"There should be news from Tanma, where is the main force of the Great Food?"

"Back to the prime minister, the big cannibal has crossed the Ji River south of Gorgan, and the destination is unknown for the time being!"

The attendant replied quickly.

"Although we won't attack, we must let the big cannibals in the barracks know that we have seen through their tricks!"

At this time, the people in the Great Food Barracks had already noticed the situation outside, and naturally they would not let Tang Bing approach blatantly.

Bursts of arrows rained down without warning, but most of the arrows fell to the ground weakly before they hit Qin Jin and the others.

After all, bows and arrows have a range, and the big cannibals in the military camp cannot cause effective damage to Qin Jin and others.

"Prime Minister, the big cannibal may have to come out and make a move, let's go back quickly!"

Zheng Xianli's expression was a little nervous, and he reminded him, but before he finished speaking, he saw the Great Food Cavalry rushing out of the barracks.

One stone's throw away, let the prime minister risk hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, which Zheng Xianli never wants to see.

I couldn't help but say that Qin Jin was carried from left and right and left here. Zheng Xianli and some of his personal guards stayed behind to break off.

The Tang Dynasty's riding crossbow shook the Western Regions, and even the cavalry of the barbarian tribes hoped to get a Tang Dynasty riding crossbow, which showed its power.

Two showers of arrows suppressed the surprise attack of the Great Food Cavalry, and in this short period of time, Qin Jin had already rushed out a mile under the support of his personal guards, and Zheng Xianli saw this and resolutely ordered all the cavalry to retreat and shoot behind them with crossbows.

This tactic was roughly equivalent to the Parthian whirlwind fire that prevailed in Persia, and the Great Eater cavalry was suppressed by the rain of arrows, unable to keep approaching, and when they saw that the opponent was retreating far away, they all stopped the pursuit in a huff.

Back at the barracks, Qin Jin immediately ordered the artillery battalion to go out and prepare to bombard the Dashi barracks.

Previously, artillery, as the secret weapon of the finale, has been restricted.

Now, when it was time for the poor dagger to meet, since Mahdi could not hold his breath and planned to carry out a field battle, there was no need to hide it anymore.

About an hour of preparation, the artillery battalion was already lined up outside the barracks, and the black muzzles of the guns were aimed in the direction where the Great Food Barracks was located.

The artillery battalion of the Shenwu Army uses two kinds of shells on a daily basis, one is a solid bullet and the other is a scattered bullet composed of small iron balls. The former is to strike at distant targets, while the latter is to inflict damage on enemy troops.

This time, the artillery battalion was loaded with solid shells.

Military orders were passed down layer by layer, and soon, the earth trembled with the rumbling sound of cannons.

At first, the Great Cannibal didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the Shenwu Army had also used this weapon that could make loud noises and smoke in a previous confrontation.

It's a pity that this time they thought wrong, the secret weapon of the Shenwu Army can not only make loud noises and smoke, but also have projectiles that can be deadly.

After the calibration of the first shot, the second salvo had half of the shells smashed into the camp of the Great Eater.

The cannonball smashed through the barricade formed by the thick wooden pole at the mouth of the bowl with a scorching temperature, and after it landed, the force did not wane, and it still bounced forward, and the flesh and blood behind the wall suddenly became a stump and a broken arm.

Suddenly, there was a miserable howl of pain.

The howls of the enemy attack warning whimpered and blew, and the elite food infantry began to assemble in the direction of the cannonballs, and if the Tang soldiers took this opportunity to break through the camp, I am afraid that they would all have to give their heads to Prince Mahdi to atone for their sins.

However, as bursts of hot shells fell, not even a single Tang soldier appeared, but the entire wooden fence was almost destroyed, and hundreds of people died tragically under the rumbling iron bullets.
