Chapter 1398: Destruction is in sight
Wang Renli really sweated a handful, this operation was of a military adventure, and if he win, he would win all the games, and if he lost, he would lose everything.
The general of the Great Janissary Guard is a cunning fellow, and he will not easily fight a decisive battle, and once he realizes that the situation is not good, he immediately chooses to turn around and retreat, and wait for the whole army to come back again, and so on, and a simple war is expected to be fought without knowing which day it will be over.
Therefore, Wang Renli decided to use himself and the core of the 5,000 Shenwu army as a bait to attract Iben's troops, in the case of absolute superiority in troops, the vast majority of people will have a light enemy mentality, and he gambled that Iben would dare to fight with his own bait on the east bank of the Shali River.
In fact, Ibn did underestimate the enemy, pressing more than half of his troops, trying to deal with Wang Renli's men in a short time.
This is also a manifestation of Iben's self-confidence, and it is not only Wang Renli's plan to lure the enemy that has succeeded.
If Wang Renli can't launch a Jedi counterattack, if he can't stop the siege launched by the Great Food Praetorian Guard from all directions, maybe the bait will turn into real fish meat, and it will be calmly bitten and dragged away by the beast and swallowed into the stomach.
"General, the Tang people are finished this time, even if each of them has the combat power of a lion, they will not escape the doom of annihilation!"
Muhammad, having observed the situation on the battlefield, felt that the battle was so sure that it would never happen again, and he was a little impatient to take advantage of this opportunity.
Therefore, he found a topic in the hope that his subordinates would also join the battlefield, exercise themselves, and become a beast that had truly seen blood, so as to better help him keep the Elam he had just arrived.
Muhammad was not a complete coward, and he also hoped that he would have enough force to keep Ilam, after all, the Praetorian Guard was Mansour's personal guard, and it was impossible to stay for long.
As long as Khazar does not die, he will be thinking about retaking Ilam, and this hidden danger will be like a devil and will never go away.
With this fear of the unknown, Muhammad wanted to use the power of the Praetorian Guard to train his tribal army.
Originally, the tribal army in Elamite City was not bad at fighting, but after Muhammad overthrew the rule of the Qajar family, a large-scale purge was carried out to minimize the influence of the Qajar family.
This certainly strengthened his position in Elam, but a large number of elite soldiers and chieftains were imprisoned or sold into slavery, which led to a massive decline in the power of the tribal armies in Elam, which was extremely low.
It was also for this reason that Muhammad did not have any confidence to speak with his head held high in front of Ibn.
In other words, many of Muhammad's acts of cowardice and stupidity were disguised for self-preservation.
"The villain is willing to join the battlefield with a tribal army...... Help the general completely annihilate the Tang people......"
However, Ibn did not hesitate to refuse, he was a very confident man, but he only trusted his own subordinates, and the involvement of others would increase the variables.
There is no room for loss in this battle.
"No need, you just have to watch, and after the battle is over, you can take your people to clean up the battlefield!"
"Yes, general, villain, villain understood......"
Just as Muhammad was disappointed, his eyes turned to the battlefield again, and he suddenly noticed something unusual.
The Praetorian Guards, who first came into contact with the Tang Army's formation, actually looked a little chaotic, and it didn't seem to be a normal phenomenon.
However, he would not be stupid enough to point it out immediately, which would only increase the Janissaries' antipathy towards him. He only quietly watched the changes on the battlefield behind Yi himself, maybe if there was some trouble on the battlefield, his clan army would be useful.
Iben's face was as gloomy and dark as ever, and he could not see any change in expression, but his heart was already startled with a high head, rolling and surging.
The Great Food Guards did encounter trouble again, after rushing through the range of the artillery, they thought they could chop melons and chop vegetables, who would have thought that the opposing army formation suddenly threw countless fist-sized iron balls, these are not ordinary iron balls, not only can smash people full of bags, but also will burst in the air, countless iron sand and iron pieces can instantly cut the surrounding big food soldiers.
After the countless iron balls exploded, a large number of soldiers of the Great Food Praetorian Guard were killed and injured, and the amount of projection of this iron ball in a short period of time was very amazing, and the casualties caused by this were also very terrifying.
Almost all of the thousands of people who rushed to the front were wounded, and half of them had already fallen to the ground and completely lost their combat effectiveness.
* The smoke of gunpowder after the deflagration quickly spread over the place where the two armies were fighting, obscuring everyone's sight, and the peculiar* and then stench made the great cannibals even more fearful than ever.
At the moment of engagement, the morale of the Great Food Praetorian Guard was on the verge of collapse.
Soon, the pockets of the Great Food Praetorian Guard tightened more and more, and they began to make contact with the Shenwu Army military formation in all directions.
This Shenwu army had obviously made sufficient preparations in advance, and formed a huge military formation that could fight on all sides, and either side could launch a fierce counterattack against the attack.
The mysterious grenadier battalion is in full swing, and these powerful warriors throw their blossoming mines at their enemies with all their might, blowing them up all over their bodies.
The horror of the blossom thunder is not how deadly it is, but the serious damage it causes to the enemy, and the tragic scene will not only give the enemy a psychological shock, but also drag down the enemy's mobility.
No army will leave the wounded soldiers behind, and the dead soldiers will be counted, if they are only injured and temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, then they still have the possibility of healing, and naturally they will not be easily abandoned.
The grenadier battalion proved with its terrifying combat prowess that the treatment they received was proportional to that of their city.
There is a set of strict criteria for the selection of grenadiers, generally speaking, only ten people out of every 100 people can be successfully selected, so being able to be selected into the mysterious grenadier battalion has become a dream of every Shenwu soldier.
Wang Renli led the army to attack Ilam, and Qin Jin sent a grenadier battalion that rarely participated in actual combat, which was used to counter the siege of the Great Food Guards, and indeed achieved extremely considerable results.
The encirclement pocket of the Great Food Praetorian Guard launched an assault on the Shenwu Army in two directions, but all of them were on the verge of collapse without exception.
Although the other two directions have not yet attacked, it is also predictable that they did not have the tactics of responding to the grenadiers in a hurry, and if they attacked blindly, they would only repeat the mistakes of the past.
At this time, Wang Renli was already confident, and the destruction of the Great Food Praetorian Guard in front of him was today!
