The guards beside Li Laosi looked nervously at the Mughal army ten miles away, and said, "Uncle, it's too dangerous here, hurry back!" ”

"If you encounter an Indian scout, something will really happen!"

Li Laosi waved his hand at the guards and motioned for the guards to stop talking.

He used a telescope to observe the Mughal army in the distance, and said to Li Dingguo: "General Li, the Mughal soldiers and horses are all wearing armor, and they don't seem to be weak in combat. How will this battle be fought? ”

Joining Li Zhi's camp for a year, the Yizi battalion fought everywhere and made great contributions. Now not only have the soldiers of the Yizi Battalion begun to pay their salaries, but Li Dingguo, the commander of the Yizi Battalion, has also been promoted to the chief soldier and has become a legitimate general of the Tianjin system.

Li Dingguo put down the binoculars and arched his hand and said: "Uncle, the Indian soldiers and horses look skilled in swords, and if we fight with them, we will not have enough troops, so we can only rely on shotguns to win." ”

"But for a shotgun to really work, it needs to be set up. Between these mountains, if we rush forward to fight the Indians head-on, I am afraid that we will not be able to use the power of the shotgun. ”

"Shotguns are only used when two armies are engaged and at a distance of about ten meters. But if we simply rush up and engage the Mughal army, with both armies using deep formations, the width of the battlefield ahead will be very limited, and the opportunities for the shotguns to exert their power will be very limited. ”

"If you fight like that, more than seventy percent of the shotguns are in the back row, and if you can't shoot, you'll fall into a white-knives fight."

Li Laosi nodded when he heard Li Dingguo's words.

"So how do you set it up so that the shotgun can be used to its full potential?"

Li Dingguo arched his hand and said: "Today's plan, only by luring the enemy into depth, can we stretch the enemy's formation into thin strips and stretch the width of the battlefield to the maximum, so that our shotguns can exert their power." ”

Li Laosi humbly asked, "How to lure the enemy deeper?" ”

Li Dingguo arched his hand and said: "Uncle, this ability to defeat and lure the enemy depends on the Yizi camp." The Yizi battalion was born as a thief and is very skilled in doing this. ”

"The camp was defeated with 20,000 righteous words, and fled in confusion on the road. India's soldiers and horses are confident that they are outnumbered and will inevitably pursue. When pursuing, you can't look at each other before and after, and you will definitely stretch out a long snake formation on the road. Wait until this long snake formation arrives in our ambush area..."

Li Laosi laughed and said, "Okay! Li Dingguo, you are a scheming person, just fight as you say! ”

The guards beside Li Laosi suddenly said anxiously: "Uncle, there are Indian scouts in front of you!" ”

Li Laosi nodded and said, "Let's retreat, go back and set up an ambush!" ”

Twenty thousand soldiers of the Yizi battalion rushed into Humayun's army with swords and began to fight.

As a decoy team, the 20,000 men did not carry shotguns, but advanced with standard rifles on their backs. However, the rifle was of little use in the tropical forests, and in the end it was fought by the sword in hand.

At this time, the Mughal army advanced along the valley road, crowding the entire valley, but the width of the battlefield in front of the battlefield was not wide, it could only be the width of this valley, that is, about two miles. Therefore, although the soldiers and horses of the Yizi battalion and the Central Asian warriors of Humayun were in full swing, only 10,000 people were really caught and killed in front of the battle, and there were thousands of people fighting on each side.

Humayun had the intention to mobilize more troops to immediately surround the 20,000 Yizi battalion, but it was limited to the mountains and dense forests on both sides of the valley, and the people behind him could not be transferred at all.

Humayun could only stand on a high place, quietly waiting for the outcome of the fierce battle ahead.

"Respected Dutch envoy, why did the Ming people only send 20,000 people to fight the enemy?"

Welterman said: "Your Majesty, Li Laosi is here to test the combat effectiveness of our soldiers and horses. ”

"The Ming people have never fought with the Mughal soldiers and horses, and they don't know our strength, so they want to come up and try it. If these 20,000 people have the upper hand, the people of the Ming Kingdom may fall out of the nest. On the contrary, if these 20,000 people fall behind, Li Laosi may flee from the wind. ”

This Werterman has been an officer for several years, and has fought once or twice in Europe, but he has a nose and an eye. Humayun thought about it and felt that Welterman had some point.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the 20,000 Yizi battalion fought with the colonists of Central Asia for half an hour, and it seemed that they did not take advantage. The Yizi Battalion was born as a thief, and many of the soldiers were originally desperate peasants, and their combat effectiveness was not outstanding. Compared with the Central Asian warriors of those professions in the Mughal Empire, the ability to fight with swords is somewhat lacking.

The Ming people suddenly made a loud sound and retreated.

The thousands of Mughal warriors behind the Yizi battalion were willing to let go of this group of fat sheep, and chased after them with a howl.

However, these thousands of people can only chase for a short time, and the lone army may be bitten by the Yizi battalion if they pursue it deeply. To really pursue the soldiers of the Yizi Battalion in the past two nights, it still needs more large troops.

Humayun looked at the defeated army of the Yizi battalion in front of him, and was a little hesitant.

At this time, Welterman and Humayun stood on a high place, and they had a clear view of the battle ahead. Weltermann shouldered the mission of the Dutch king, who was to make sure that the Indian emperor and Li Zhi fought to the death and prevent Li Zhi from continuing to move west to the south, so he was more anxious than Humayun.

He looked at the rout of the Yizi battalion and said, "Your Majesty, quickly order the pursuit!" You see! The Ming people have thrown away all the banners and collapsed. ”

Humayun stroked the scabbard of his scimitar and did not speak.

Welterman looked anxiously ahead, fearing that the 20,000 men would escape.

"Your Majesty, look! In order to flee for their lives, the Ming people have already discarded the armor on their bodies! ”

Humayun's face was a little moved.

Welterman suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has even discarded their rifles, and the Ming people have been defeated for thousands of miles." If you don't chase it at this time, you won't regret it! ”

Seeing the 20,000 routs of the Yizi battalion start throwing rifles, Humayun was finally tempted. All the swords and rifles were thrown, and the 20,000 people completely lost their combat effectiveness, whether this was a defeat or not, at least the Ming army only had 90,000 soldiers left.

Humayun finally asked: "What if I fall into an ambush by the Ming army?" ”

Welterman said loudly: "Your Majesty, in this mountain forest, you can only fight with swords, even if you are ambushed, it is nothing more than fighting with swords. We send more people to pursue, and the army will answer behind, even if the Ming people ambush us, they will not be able to take advantage of it at all! ”

"If the Ming people ambush us, we will be flanked by our 200,000 people."

Humayun was finally moved by Welterman's words, nodded, and said, "Send 80,000 men to pursue, and the rest of the army will protect the baggage team and prepare to respond." ”
