551 [Young Hero]

On the plains of the basin, outside the city of King Ananda, an army of 100,000 gradually unfolded.

Ning Botao held the clairvoyant mirror, quickly saw the Wang Qi on the opposite side, and couldn't help but smile: "That's a wild boar?" ”

The Indian Green Religion merchant who accompanied the army explained: "The wild boar is called Valaha, and it is the incarnation of the guardian god Vishnu. Legend has it that when the flood flooded the land, the golden-eyed demon captured the earth goddess Pritibi. Vishnu transformed into a wild boar and dived underwater, slaying demons and rescuing the Goddess. For hundreds of years, the royal families of Hindu countries have mostly used wild boars as their royal emblem and flag. ”

The royal flag of the Ananda kingdom, with a wild boar as the main motif, is also the sun and moon, and a dagger with a curved blade.

This is quite interesting, the surrounding area is full of green countries, using wild boars as a royal symbol, and the hatred is in place. A large number of wise P Club players regarded this wild boar as a scalper, so they nicknamed Ananda "Cattle Country".

Ning Botao continued to observe with a clairvoyant mirror and found that the enemy's formation was simple.

A large number of light infantry in front, mainly pikemen and archers. There are also soldiers who use similar hook and sickle guns, but these hook and sickle guns are very short, they are close combat weapons, and they also have an iron ring with a blade on the outside around their waists, which is Vishnu's magic weapon, which can be projected from a distance and can also be used to kill enemies in close combat.

After the light infantry, there was a whole row of war elephants.

After the war elephants, they were all cavalry, and some of them were camel cavalry.

The king's central army had a musket force of more than 1,000 men, all of which were purchased from the Portuguese.

No matter what the combat strength of the 100,000 army is, as long as it is put out, it is quite scary, and the Ming soldiers and untouchable auxiliaries instantly became impetuous.

Ning Botao turned over and dismounted, grabbed a handful of soil, and galloped in front of the formation on horseback. Immediately, he held up the soil and shouted: "Have you ever seen such fertile land in Daming?" It is a first-class good land, whether it is growing cotton or growing grain, it can be harvested every year. Victory is made today, and the earth is yours. Defeated today, not only will there be no land, but your lives will also be gone! Kill and defeat the enemy army, grab food, grab women, grab land! ”

The middle-level officer immediately shouted: "Grab the grain, grab the women, grab the land!" ”

"Grab food, grab women, grab land!" The whole army shouted, and the fighting spirit was high.

Except for the 3,000 sailors, the remaining 12,000 people were all farmers who were affected by the disaster half a year ago. They trained intensively in Johor for four months, and then came to India for three months, fought countless battles along the way, and have gradually evolved into bloody veterans.

However, those victories are all crushing in nature, and these "veterans" have not yet gnawed hard bones, and they must be afraid in the face of an army of 100,000.

The slightest setback threatens to collapse the whole army, and only land, food, and women can boost their morale.

In addition, there were more than 30,000 auxiliaries, all of whom were untouchables recruited along the way.

Several Indian leaders shouted in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam respectively: "The soldiers of the Great Tomorrow Kingdom have been endowed with divine powers by Shiva. You untouchables have also gained the approval of Vishnu, as long as you follow the great heavenly soldiers to fight, you can get rid of the status of untouchables in this life, and you don't have to wait for reincarnation! Those who have made the first meritorious deeds should be promoted to Vaishya; Those who make the next merit should be promoted to the rank of Shudra. As long as you don't run away, after defeating the enemy, everyone will get a share of the land! They all shouted at me, not to be untouchables, not to be untouchables! ”

It is true that the untouchables do not have the spirit of resistance, but they also have the desire and dream of being reincarnated as a high caste in the next life.

Along the way, the Indian Belt and Road Party was instructed by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to brainwash these untouchables.

Their army has been blessed by the god of destruction, Shiva, and has the help of invincible divine power. The untouchables who follow this army have been approved by the protector god Vishnu, and they will no longer have to wait for reincarnation to get rid of their untouchability status in this life, and they will also be able to get some of the land given by the gods.

"Not untouchables, not untouchables!"

The untouchable auxiliaries shouted loudly, their faces were full of fanaticism, and their morale actually surpassed that of the Ming army.

As the king, Achiyu Tadewa Raya is on the battlefield at this moment, protected by a thousand firecrackers. He is only sixteen years old this year, his father died suddenly, and his two uncles competed for power, and Ah Chiyu could only choose to lie dormant and endure.

In history, this is also a Ming Jun, who was less than twenty years old, and he overthrew all his two uncles. Then, he used military action to transfer the conflict, led troops to defeat the Deccan Sultanate, and quelled the rebellion of the three major warlords in the country. Seeing the success of centralization and the prosperity of the country, the king suddenly died. The youngest son became a puppet of the ministers, and eventually usurped the throne and changed the dynasty.

"Your Majesty, please grant me the authority to command the Great Army." His uncle, Sadashwa, said that he had physically eliminated another of the king's uncles.

Ah Chiyu nodded and said, "You can command." ”

Sadashwa didn't know how to fight at all, he came from a powerful local family. In the previous generation of kings, he won over and divided local leaders, and Sadashwa was very fortunate to be a colt and became one of the two powerful ministers of the central government step by step.

"The enemy army is not only small in man, but also has few cavalry, and their rejection of horses is very rudimentary, and it is impossible to stop the onslaught of war elephants!"

Sadashwa talked eloquently on the battlefield, and the commander said: "The cavalry outflanks both wings, and when the elephant soldiers cause chaos, immediately launch a cavalry charge!" ”

All the cavalry, including the camel soldiers, came towards the Ming soldiers, and did not even leave a cavalry reserve.

The light infantry, escorting two thousand war elephants, began to advance slowly.

The country was indeed very rich, and the Mughal Empire in its heyday could only maintain a thousand war elephants, and they actually had two thousand war elephants.

These war elephants are fully armoured, and even the end of their trunks are equipped with iron chain hammers. As long as the elephant's trunk is waved, those chain hammers can be smashed down, and the Ming army's horse rejection array can be broken.

The war elephant has a driver on its neck and controls the elephant to perform tactical movements.

There are also soldiers on the back of the elephant, and there are two kinds of soldiers, near and far. One is armed with a spear several meters long, sitting on the back of an elephant and stabbing around, easily harvesting the enemy; A type of armed bow and arrow, sitting on the back of an elephant to shoot a point, condescendingly to shoot enemy officers.

"Fire!"

The artillery had long been aimed at the war elephants, and Ning Botao gave an order, and dozens of field Franc machine guns fired a salvo. Killed two war elephants on the spot, and the remaining shells rolled and harvested in the enemy's large array.

The war elephants were not routed, but the light infantry was routed.

More than half of the 100,000 troops in front of him were temporarily conscripted, and they had never been on the battlefield before. Although the artillery salvo did not cause great damage, it frightened the rabble, and they turned around and fled despite the military order.

If it weren't for the fact that the war elephants were difficult to deal with, and the two wings were outflanked by cavalry, Ning Botao would definitely take advantage of the chaos to charge.

"Go back, go back!"

Sada Schwa was furious, and commanded the law enforcement team to come forward and suppress it, and forcibly killed the rout. They had killed more of their routed soldiers than they had been killed by shells, and the light infantry had become a disarray, blocking the advance of the war elephants.

The Indians fought on their own, because they all had army elephants, the elephants were placed in the second row, and there had to be light infantry cover in front.

In the face of large-scale artillery, your own light infantry is garbage, so you should change your tactics on the spot, so that the war elephants charge directly in front, and the light infantry will rush together. When the war elephants disrupt the enemy's formation, the light infantry can take the opportunity to attack, and the cavalry on both flanks can also seize the opportunity to cover the kill.

However, Sadashwa did everything he could, and even if a general put forward an opinion, he completely ignored it.

The rout of a large number of light infantry blocked the attack of the war elephants. After the rout was pressed back, they re-lined in great confusion, and the war elephants waited in a daze, waiting for the light infantry to finish before continuing to advance.

This gave the Ming artillery enough time, the opponent's formation had not yet been arranged, and dozens of artillery pieces had already begun the second round of salvos.

"Boom, boom!"

Several large formations of light infantry were again routed by artillery, accompanied by the death of three elephants.

Sadashwa again ordered the ammunition to be pressed, and the elephant soldiers waited there to wait for the light infantry to complete their formation before setting out.

Ning Botao was stunned, and muttered, "Is the enemy commander a fool?" ”

The young king Ah Chiyu couldn't stand it anymore, and got up and shouted: "Uncle, don't let the infantry form a formation, just let the elephant soldiers charge!" ”

Sadashwa said: "Your Majesty, you are still young and do not know how to fight. Without infantry cover, even if the elephant could rush through, it would have been wiped out by the enemy. ”

War elephants are invaluable and must be protected by light infantry, as a three-year-old child knows.

Alas, the king was so stupid.

Sadashwa's heart was full of contempt, he thought that his tactics were extremely correct, and he also felt that he could easily control the king.

"Boom, boom!"

Several more war elephants were killed, and the light infantry, which was forming a team, was again routed by artillery. This time, even the law enforcement team could not suppress it, and the rebel army almost overthrew the king's army, and Sadashwa was so angry that he personally rode his horse and slashed the rout.

Ah Chiyu suddenly shouted: "Do it!" ”

I saw dozens of soldiers of the King's Guard, taking advantage of the chaos to kill in front of Sadashwa and kill the powerful minister who controlled the king.

The entire Chinese army is stupid, they are all Sadashwa's henchmen.

Achiyu took the opportunity to shout, "I am the son of Krishna, and I am the king under the protection of Vishnu. The rebel and thief Sadashwa is dead, and the rest of the people are not to blame, and I will kill the hateful invaders! Vishnu bless! ”

The 1,000 musketeers in charge of putting the king under house arrest reacted as quickly as possible and shouted in unison: "Vishnu bless, the king will win!" ”

"Vishnu willing, the king will win!"

Countless soldiers shouted along with it, and they all became diehard loyalists of the king, and even some of the routs stopped fleeing.

However, the army of 100,000 had been reduced by nearly half, and a large number of temporarily conscripted rabble fled to the inner city desperately. But the gates were closed, and they had no choice but to flee around the city, or simply flee into the wilderness.

"Boom, boom!"

The cannon fired another volley, another war elephant was killed, and the light infantry, which had been fiercely returned by the king, inexplicably began to flee again.

Ah Chiyu shouted: "The war elephant immediately charges, don't care about the recruits, the veterans follow the war elephant to rush together." There are also a thousand musketeers, although you are the King's Guard, don't keep me safe anymore, and rush up together to kill the enemy! Order the cavalry on both wings to harass and help the elephants charge! ”
