Chapter 1392: Sudden Encounter

"It's the Praetorian Guard!"

Qajar's shouts were a bit heartbreaking, he was really scared by Mansour's Praetorian Guards, and suddenly found that the Praetorian Guards, who were supposed to leave Ilam, suddenly appeared here, and he couldn't help but be frightened.

"What Praetorian Guard?"

Wang Renli asked softly, although he was asking, he knew in his heart that the only people who could use troops like this here were Mansur's Praetorian Guards.

It seems that the so-called withdrawal of the Praetorian Guard from Ilam was just a deliberate illusion, and their real purpose was to paralyze the enemy. Obviously, their intentions were achieved, and the Shenwu army and the vassal army were successfully deceived, especially Asta and his cavalry, and no one knows what the situation is until now.

"Naturally, it's Mansour's Praetorian Guard, they didn't leave, they didn't want me to take back Ilam, they wanted, they wanted to kill me......"

Khazar, who was on the verge of collapse, had begun to speak incoherently, and the people around him shook their heads, where did this guy still look like a half-eaten warrior, and there was an air of a coward from head to toe.

"Array, prepare to meet the enemy!"

If it was in the ambush circle last night, Wang Renli would not be sure to face the enemy on all sides.

Now that they have caught up, they want to wipe out their own group of men and horses in the field battle, then there is nothing to hide, they will fight back with real knives and guns, and they will completely break the backbone of the big cannibals, and let them talk about Tang Bing like a lion's roar.

Obviously, they found out that the prey in the ambush circle had escaped, so they stopped playing cat and mouse tricks.

Wang Renli had a feeling that these Praetorian Guards were different from other Great Food Guards, they had extremely high self-confidence, and they didn't even take anyone seriously, and last night's encirclement and annihilation was just a small trick.

The more the big cannibal has this kind of mentality, the more Wang Renli can't avoid it, and this battle must not only be fought, but also won in a dignified and upright manner, without a single flaw.

This is also the basic strategy that the prime minister had set before, after the Battle of Silvan, he must do his best to win every time he fights against the Great Food Army, so that he can either not fight, as long as he shoots, he must have the certainty of victory.

This request seems extremely difficult, but it is not impossible to do, although Wang Renli's experience last night was a little embarrassing, but he still has a very high level of confidence at this time.

Because the Shenwu Army's lore weapons are invincible on the battlefield, there are no enemies who can resist it with a mere body.

"Artillery preparation, let these big cannibals taste the taste of cannonballs!"

Almost no artillery was used among the Shirvans who shook the Great Cannibal, so the Great Cannibal was not impressed with this weapon. But there were objective reasons why artillery was not used in that battle, and the main firearms battalion led by Qing Xuzi was at least two or three days away from the battlefield due to its slow walking, which led to the fact that by the time they arrived at Sirfan, the battle had come to an end, and the victory had already been locked.

Now it was different, Wang Renli set off with at least twenty artillery pieces, and this artillery configuration was an absolute high match for the 5,000-strong Shenwu Army infantry.

Among them, * shells pulled dozens of cars.

In addition, the formation of the new army around the new firearms accounted for nearly half, and it can be said that this war was also a battle for the new firearms and the new army.

In various exercises, the firearms battalion showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, but after all, there were few opportunities to participate in actual combat, and this time Qin Jin also intended to test their combat effectiveness.

Wang Renli ordered the infantry of the Shenwu Army to line up, the artillery battalion to line up, and the artillerymen were busy calculating the distance, loading the artillery, and just waiting for the enemy to enter the firing range and then set fire to his mother.

The Great Janissaries were the best of the best, and their tactics were extremely skillful, with two groups of cavalry attacking from both flanks, and a large group of infantry advancing in the center.

They seemed to express their anger at the Tang people's response without a camp, believing it to be an arrogant provocation, and anyone could only tremble in front of the Great Diet Guard.

The crossbow arrows fell from the sky, this is the great cannibal's crossbow, its range should far exceed the Tang Dynasty's crossbows, but there are only scattered one hundred and ten, it seems that their attack is very high-key, and the crossbowmen are also rushing to the front, trying to overwhelm the Tang people's psychological defense line with this momentum.

It's a pity that they miscalculated, and a cold smile hung on Wang Renli's face.

Soon they will be given a taste of what it means to be frightened.

The cavalry attacking on both flanks will not pose a mortal threat to the Shenwu Army's infantry formation, and it can be driven away with a salvo of crossbow fire, the real target is the infantry of the Great Food Janissaries who are advancing in the center, seeing that they are getting closer and closer to the firing range, the artillerymen are unhurriedly preparing buckets, pig hairs and handsome, and lighting the torches...... Wrap them in oily paper* one by one, pry open the projectiles in the box, and put them away one by one.

Artillery battalions often had to take more risks, and in order to cover their fire farther forward, they had to line up in front of the infantry formations.

"Fire!"

The flag of ignition was waved heavily, the war drums sounded, the torches lit the twists at the end of the artillery, and the sparks jumped wildly.

Without warning, the ground shook and the twenty cannons were fired in unison, and the projectiles were instantly burned red and hot, and with a huge roar, they shot out of the muzzles.

The cavalry of the Great Praetorian Guard, which was cruising ahead, bore the brunt of the blow, the projectiles slammed down on the open and flat ground, and then ricocheted forward one after another, plowing like a rake at an unstoppable speed.

The swept war horses broke their bones and tendons, and they fell to the ground one after another, and the knights on the horses also fell, and the unfortunate ones were crushed by the huge war horse's body or the whole person was crushed.

However, this was only the beginning, and despite the suddenness of the landslide and tsunami's artillery salvo, the Great Eclipse infantry would not flinch from it, and they still rushed forward with a wild cry, trying to crush any enemy who dared to stand in their way.

Eventually, the Praetorian infantry burst into the range of the artillery, and no one could stop them from coming close to death.

It was a disaster for the whistling projectiles to smash into the infantry formation of the dense formation charge, and the projectiles tumbled and jumped in the military formation, and every time they rose and fell, they brought a wave of real blood.

Until the artillery of the Shenwu Army was beaten red, the artillerymen had to temporarily stop firing a salvo, and a scoop of water from the bucket was poured on the cannon body to achieve the purpose of cooling down.

The Praetorian Guard, who were not the pro-forces of the caliph, did not lose their fighting spirit despite such a fierce blow, and while the artillery was cooling, they once again increased their speed and rushed forward with a roar.

Wang Renli instinctively felt that his tongue was dry, he had never seen such a fierce enemy who was not afraid of death!
