552 [All members of the two and five boys]
Kill the generals, big taboo!
Fortunately, the old king was famous and the powerful ministers were unpopular, otherwise the whole army would have collapsed with this trouble.
Although Ah Chiyu is a young hero, he is too immature after all, and he acts impatiently and recklessly.
If you don't kill the ministers, you may still be able to fight today.
As the commander of the defenders, the minister was killed on the battlefield, and this battle was sure to be lost.
Under the advance of the whole army, people kept leaving the team and fleeing for their lives. Before they could reach range, the king's army was reduced to 40,000 men, and those who did not flee were demoralized.
Seeing this, Ah Chiyu also knew that he was wrong, and he shouldn't have done it on the battlefield.
Next, they can only rely on the elephant soldiers to charge.
Elephants are very intelligent animals, and once they find that something is wrong, they will even take the initiative to flee the battlefield, and even attack indiscriminately when frightened.
However, war elephants can also be trained to withstand the sound of gunfire.
When the Mughal Empire fought with the British, it even created the "Heavy War Elephant Musketeers", in which musketeers rode directly on the back of the elephant and fired.
Ever since they were deflated by the Portuguese, the previous generation of lords began to train war elephants, buying muskets and shooting at elephants to get used to the guns.
Moreover, after going to the battlefield, they also plugged the elephant's ears with cloth balls.
Another round of shelling passed, and the two war elephants were bruised and did not immediately fall to their deaths. So it was easy to see, after the war elephant was injured and went crazy, it rushed and trampled indiscriminately, and the light infantry around it suddenly suffered heavy casualties.
The recruits were overwhelmed and immediately ran to desert.
The veteran quickly gave way to the passage, while the javelinmen behind kept bidding their guns at the frenzied war elephants, and the two war elephants quickly left the formation and rushed towards the enemy.
"Boom, boom!"
Another artillery salvo, and the elephants were already very close.
Dozens of artillery pieces, the sound of close range, is not something that can be covered by the cloth in the ears. More than 1,000 war elephants all went crazy, caught their own people and trampled indiscriminately, and were rushed towards the Ming army by the javelinmen behind them.
"Ignition!"
The weather was very hot, and the firewood and grass were placed in front of the Ming army, and the firewood and grass were still drenched with grease, forming a raging wall of fire in an instant.
As the wall of fire ignited, the firebolts fired a volley. The frenzied elephants, very afraid of the flames, were fired head-on by muskets, and were so frightened that they immediately ran to the sides and behind them.
The Ananda cavalry on both flanks was also attacking and harassing, but each time they were repelled by the rejection of horses and muskets.
——————
"Kill!"
Ning Botao gave an order, and thousands of Ming troops in front of him crossed the flames and began to charge. More than 20,000 untouchable auxiliaries, also armed with rudimentary weapons, rushed with the Ming army, and if they won the battle, they would receive the caste bestowed by Vishnu.
Tens of thousands of light infantry have been disrupted by their own war elephants, and their morale has been depressed due to the change of generals in battle. At this time, seeing the enemy army rushing towards him, how could he care about the king, whether it was a veteran or a new soldier, they all chose to turn around and flee.
There is no way, the main force has not returned to the frontier, and the veterans on the Wangcheng side have little combat power.
Moreover, those main forces were deliberately transferred to the frontier by the ministers. The previous generation of heroes fought in the north and south, and there were a large number of diehards in the army, and only by transferring elite troops to the frontier could the powerful ministers dare to control the young king.
"Your Majesty, go back to the city quickly!" The henchmen shouted.
Ah Chiyu pushed away the guards, raised the scepter and said, "I haven't worshiped yet, there are many of us." The enemy is chasing and killing, the formation is already out of order, let the cavalry charge from both wings! ”
The cavalry could not rush up, the king's own formation was in disarray, and the cavalry on both wings could not get military orders. The cavalry general who was in charge of leading the team was repelled several times by the muskets, and had gradually lost his fighting spirit, so he chose to flee directly at this time, wanting to go around the other side and enter the city to hide.
Ah Chiyu was so angry that his eyes were red, he was unwilling!
This battle should not be fought at all, it only needs to be held in the city, once the main force returns, how can it be lost?
The guards forcibly took the king away and came to the city with the defeated soldiers, but the defenders refused to open the gates.
The people in charge of defending the city were all the henchmen of the powerful ministers, who witnessed the killing of the powerful ministers, and were afraid that the king would come back to settle accounts for them. Moreover, the king was defeated, and the royal city was likely to be unable to hold it, so it was better to let the king die outside the city and take refuge in these invading troops from China.
It's just a matter of changing the master, which is commonplace in the Indian subcontinent, and I don't know how many times it has been staged over thousands of years.
All the gates of the city were closed, not to mention that the king could not enter, and even the cavalry that fled in rout, going around to the other side of the royal city, were ruthlessly rejected by the officers and soldiers defending the city.
The cavalry generals gathered together and began to discuss the way out:
"Sadashwa is dead, and the king is defeated. We can't get into the city, what should we do? ”
"Go to the north, there are still tens of thousands of troops coming, maybe we can take back the royal city."
"It's useless, these Chinese guns are powerful, more powerful than the red-haired ghosts."
"I don't think it's better to surrender, they are outsiders after all, and they need us to rule the country. We can be loyal to the new king, and these outsiders will be happy to give us more power and more land! ”
"Yes, be loyal to the new king, it's better to kill the king!"
“……”
Thousands of cavalry suddenly ran back again, and in Ning Botao's surprised eyes, they continued to slash and slash the routs along the way, and rushed directly to the king outside the city.
Ning Botao was incredulous, and said with emotion: "What a group of chaotic ministers and thieves!" ”
The guards around him fled one after another, and King Ah Chiyu was furious: "You ......"
A single knife slashed down, and the king died.
Seeing that the cavalry had killed the king and ran to give credit to the new master, the defenders of the city finally panicked.
One of the generals defending the city shouted: "Kaicheng, Kaicheng, quickly dedicate the royal city to the new lord!" ”
The king died, the city gate opened, and Ning Botao was stupid.
This Nima, all the staff are twenty-five boys.
Before Ning Botao entered the city, he ordered that he should not burn, kill and loot without permission. Unexpectedly, those enemy troops who surrendered, as well as the routed soldiers who took the opportunity to rush into the city, actually opened their guns on their own people, and Ning Botao could only command the Ming soldiers to keep pressing.
The aggressor, instantly turned into a protector, it's fucking nonsense to think about.
Although the king is dead, there are many members of the royal family, and there are some supporters of the king. All of them were captured by Erwuzai and sent to the new master to ask for merit, in order to gain a greater position of power.
Ning Botao led his troops into the palace and asked all the generals who surrendered to Cheng to come over with the royal family members to receive the reward.
These two or five boys were inexplicably excited, kneeling down and bowing to the ground, next to them were trembling royal family members.
Ning Botao smiled: "Very good, stand up and line up, I will give you the reward you deserve." ”
The Indian Belt and Road Party immediately translated, and the two or five boys smiled and obediently lined up in several rows.
Ning Botao said: "Let's do it." ”
The five hundred musketers raised their muskets and aimed them at the two or five boys, and in their puzzled eyes, they were all beaten into a sieve.
Of course, it is to avenge the king, and to support a new king, otherwise how to persuade the main force that is about to return and how to rule such a large country?
"Which is the king's brother?" Ning Botao asked.
The leader immediately pointed to the three children and said, "They are all the king's younger brothers, one is twelve, one is eight, and one is three." ”
Ning Botao walked up to the three-year-old child and gently stroked the top of his head: "You are the new king." ”
Then he pointed to a beautiful girl and asked, "Who is this?" ”
"It's the king's sister," said the leader of the way. ”
Ning Botao said with a smile: "Send it to your majesty, how can you be crowned an earl this time." ”
