The attack on the Great Food Barracks caused a lot of shock to the remaining Great Food Soldiers, and a team of infantry and cavalry echoed the men and horses to expel the Tang soldiers.

However, they had little experience in frontal combat with the Shenwu Army, which was armed with firearms, and was beaten up at the first attempt. In addition, the smoke on the battlefield made up for it, and he couldn't distinguish things, so in order to prevent the trap, he had to choose to withdraw his troops and retreat to the camp.

As long as the Tang soldiers did not break into the barracks, everything would not come to the worst moment.

When Mahdi learned of the disappointing news, instead of being angry, he felt relieved.

Because Tang Bing's performance like this shows that they care about the change of their tactics, hoping to use this to hold back the main force of the Great Food.

Then according to the normal mode of thinking, the more Tang Bing doesn't want them to do, the more he has to do it.

After thinking about it for several days, Mahdi felt that instead of going on like this, it would be better to lure the Tang army out of the barracks and fight happily in the wilderness.

In fact, during the nearly a month of confrontation, the so-called Shenwu Army of the Tang Dynasty hardly showed up, and it was always the vassal army that had been in conflict with the Great Food Army.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there have been hundreds of conflicts, and the Great Food Army has been in a mess.

Several times they plundered the convoys transporting supplies, carried out large-scale hunting of the rangers, and every time they sent troops to exterminate them, the other side's vassal armies scattered again.

The only chance to use a trick to encircle and suppress was thwarted by a weapon that the Shenwu Army could use to create loud noises and smoke.

It was that defeat that made Mahdi realize that perhaps the Tang Dynasty were also planning something with delaying tactics.

After some analysis, it was concluded that the Tang soldiers were probably delayed because they were not sure of victory in a frontal field battle with the main force of Dashi.

This year, the Caliph is in full swing preparing for the western expedition of the Roman Empire, and before the western expedition in the coming year, the troubles caused by the Tang people's march into Khorasan must be resolved.

Mahdi initially led his army to Khorasan with a nomadic attitude, but at this moment, he felt that he had to take his attitude and face up to the Tang prime minister who had defeated his cousin Abbas.

As a result, the planning of a field battle was officially put on the agenda.

Mahdi was convinced that the Tang people would not sit idly by and watch the main force of the Great Eclipse penetrate deep into their flanks or even the rear, which would inevitably cause anxiety and tension among the Tang people.

If the Tang people want to interfere with the direction of the main force of the Great Food, they must make some corresponding measures.

It's just that unexpectedly, Tang Bing actually launched an attack on the base camp of the Great Food Army.

It is said that they used artillery that could create smoke and loud noises, and caused hundreds of casualties, but that was all.

How big is the momentum?

Didn't you fail to break through the barracks!

The one who stayed in the barracks was the commander who had fought with the caliphate for many years, and was known for his good defense.

For this plan to lure the enemy into the field, Mahdi repeatedly considered many details of employing people, and now it has finally shown results.

"Send out rangers to scout the movements of the Tang people!"

After a series of orders were issued, Mahdi breathed a long sigh of relief, he led the main force to move towards the flank of the Tang army, in addition to not wanting to attack and cause unnecessary losses, there was also a trace of luck.

Fortunately, the Tang people's response would make mistakes, so that they could win the war without much effort.

Now he was going to divide the main army into three routes, and from the flanks to the rear of the Tang Dynasty army, he pounced on the supply line of the Shenwu army, which was not very strong.

On the road leading hundreds of miles from Mulu City to Gorgan, there are more than a dozen cities, large and small, each of which is a key node in the supply line of the Shenwu Army.

If the Shenwu Army does not come to fight, then he will pull out these nodes scattered on the supply line one by one, and at that time, even if the Tang people still want to hold on, I am afraid there will be no chance.

The tens of thousands of troops who had cut off the supply lines were either starved to death or crushed by the panic brought by hunger, and there was no need for the soldiers of the Great Food to fight with their lives.

Now, the Tang people have made a countermeasure to besiege the base camp, which can be regarded as a proper measure, if they really conquer the base camp......

Thinking of this, Mahdi couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, the base camp is just a deceptive illusion, and it is already empty.

The supply routes of the Great Eclipse army were not unique, from Khorasan to the west to the valley of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, and he was backed by hundreds of large cities.

If the Tang people really lost their troops and captured the base camp left in Gorgan, they would not gain anything in the end, and they would only waste their strength in vain.

Therefore, when he learned that the Tang soldiers did not capture the base camp, but only tasted it, Mahdi was even a little disappointed.

With Saeed around him, who has been noisy all the time, he is still a little uncomfortable for a while, and he always feels a lot more lonely, and every day is less fun.

Considering that Saeed should have arrived at Ctesiphon by now, he was ordered to return to Ctesiphon, in addition to reporting the war to Ctesiphon's court, and also had an important mission, that is, to convince the caliph that he would end the war in Khorasan within a month.

Its purpose was to serve as commander of all the armies of the Roman Empire in the late autumn.

As the would-be heir to the dynasty, Mahdi knew the importance of military exploits in the Roman Empire in the struggle for the throne.

Because the caliph had more than one son, and every time he went out with him, he would take with him a son who was capable of fighting, and if any of his brothers threatened his throne because of these opportunities, then the battle to regain Khorasan would be worth the loss.

This is what drove him from procrastination to quick action.

Originally, the caliph decided to attack the Roman Empire again in the following year, but he didn't know what changes had taken place in the court, and he actually made the decision to go west after the autumn.

Mahdi, who was disrupted by the rhythm, found a solution to the standoff with the Tang people from the pressure.

Mahdi is a man who loves challenges, and whenever he is faced with a challenge, he has the excitement and pleasure of hunting a lion alone.

The more challenges I fought, the more irrepressible the excitement became, so much so that the blood in my veins seemed to boil.

Soon, the military information detected by the rangers was sent to Mahdi.

After the Tang people made a seemingly large-scale attack on the base camp of Gorgan, they actually died down, and did not send a large group of men and horses to stop the main force of the Great Food.

Knowing this, Mahdi finally burst out laughing.

"Could it be that I'm overestimating the Tang people?"
