Chapter 738. A saga of dastardly battles
Appeared in the field of vision in the early morning, not an overnight march, but in late April and early May, the heat of Tianzhu has been particularly obvious, not only people are afraid of heat, war elephants, war horses, mules carrying military supplies are also afraid of heat, so after the assembly of Jida, the Mughal army basically fell asleep in the afternoon, set off again in the early morning, and marched to camp again in the hot period at noon.
At this time period, it is the most energetic time for these imperial light infantry, the great victory in the battle of Suliba a while ago also injected a morale boost into these native infantry, of course, more importantly, the number of enemies is too small, just a big pile of dirt, two or three hundred meters wide position, one person spit seems to be able to drown, it is the time to pick up cheap, these city soldiers from the bottom of the city carry simple short spears, wooden shields, crowded into a bread-like phalanx, scattering forward.
However, what made the morale of these imperial light infantry even higher was the heavy meat tank and the double-artillery war elephant behind them, which could be written into the epic in the majesty of the battle of Subali, and the heavy elephant's feet made a dull rattling sound on the ground, like a heavy snare drum, which was even more inspiring.
Sitting on the head of the war elephant in the center, squinting slightly, the Wabu stared at the small inexplicable army position by the river, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a cruel arc, as if he had seen the moment when his war elephant stepped on Wu Sangui's head.
However, is Wu Sangui's head so easily broken? In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, thousands of troops and horses in Dashun in Liaodong collided, but they did not trample on him, a big traitor who left a name in history, not to mention that now he is still committed to the "just" cause of the expansion of the Ming colony!
A muffled thud pierced the roar of the Mughal trumpet, and just as Jastanpur elegantly and proudly pinched his chin in one hand and waited for victory as a thinker, ten high-speed cones, dragging long tail smoke, smashed into his army in a standard parabola under his astonished gaze.
To tell the truth, the lethality of this Liaodong No. 25 sharp cone shell is actually not as good as the traditional solid ball shell, you must know that the ball shell is not only the point of damage that falls, after smashing on the ground, these red and hot big iron balls can also bounce up, causing secondary ricochet damage, three or four times if you are lucky, but this cone shell pounces and plunges into the ground, then it is gone.
But the only benefit of this 25-gauge cone bomb is accurate!
The sound of broken bones, which was more crisp than the broken human body, suddenly sounded around Nawabu, and he turned his head suddenly, and the front leg of the war elephant beside him was exposed with a solid iron rod with the thickness of a bowl, and the wound was broken, and the torn tendons and white bones were hideously revealed, and even the bullet was very likely to be inserted into the chest.
Fortunately, it didn't make this humanized animal suffer for too long, followed by another pop, and the second shell hit the head of the war elephant directly, and under the clicking sound, the multi-ton giant beast didn't even make a snort, and in the frightened shouts of its owner on the elephant tower, the elephant's body fell to the left, knocking down a large area of the elephant infantry who had not had time to escape.
The pointed cone bullet was paired with the Dongjiang relatively advanced cannon aiming at the door, the telescope scale, and the three-headed war elephant was knocked down at the landing point of the ten shells! And the distance has just entered this kilometer range!
Shocked and angry, Justtamble jumped and drew his carefully crafted Damascus scimitar, slashed forward, as if to volley Wu Sangui's annoying head, and his mouth was also filled with a woman's sharp voice, because the anger was shouted to the breaking sound.
"Accelerating Forward!! Returning fire!! ”
With the order, the light infantry corps of the Central Army formation with short spears began to trot, and the marching war elephant couldn't help but jerk backwards, and two copper pipes hanging on the side of the elephant tower spewed out blazing flames.
The other side also remembered the sound of artillery, which had a bit of an effect on the morale bonus, but it gave people the feeling that they were not passively beaten and had no power to fight back, but there was nothing to look forward to with this crosshairs and killing, and all fourteen shells fell within a distance of five hundred meters, not even the edge of Wu Sangui's position.
Just when Nawab's deep eyes were watching the fire, the second batch of cannons rang out in his scalp tingling, and suddenly Justtambul's face also showed deep fear, regardless of grasping the ladder on the left side of the elephant tower, in the stunned shouts of his entourage's own soldiers, he jumped directly off the elephant tower more than three meters high.
Before he could run far, behind him, a terrible elephant roar also sounded, mixed with the screams of people, a cannonball pierced the back of his mount, and the elephant tower made of bamboo was directly torn apart, and in the killing roar, the war elephant also fell to the ground in despair.
This time the results of the battle were even more fruitful, the four war elephants on the right in the middle were all knocked down, sweeping the meat tanks of the Marathas, when Timur conquered the whole river of the big killer, there were three left in a few minutes, seeing that there was only one breath left, crawling the mount that was still wheezing, Jastamble's heart was like being stabbed, and he was distressed and dripping blood, and once again raised the war knife, but he roared helplessly.
"War elephants retreat, retreat! Send a message to Arafah! Let his cavalry rush forward and bring me these cannons first! ”
The double-artillery elephant that had just been in a bull's rage suddenly made a sharp turn, and fled backwards in a hurry, even as if it was more important than people in the eyes of Nawab, and some of the light infantry phalanxes that could not be dodged were directly trampled over, which had not yet been contaminated with the blood of the opponent, and the elephant's feet were already full of scarlet of his own people.
Fortunately, I don't know if I planned to capture these elephants after the battle, and Wu Sangui didn't order to continue chasing and fighting, so that the remaining three elephants could be regarded as fleeing the battlefield in a hurry.
Fortunately, at this time, the fierce sound of horses' hooves sounded on the left side of the army, and a 3,000-strong cavalry of Caiyi broke away from the team under the leadership of the military governor Alpha, and fiercely rushed towards Wu Sangui's right flank.
It was by relying on these riders that the Mughals from Persia and Afghanistan tore apart the Delhi Sultanate and ruled India.
The body is pressed as low as possible on the back of the war horse, holding a spear under his crotch like a Western knight, facing Wu Sangui's military formation, Alafa's heart is also full of murderous intentions, this killing intention comes from jealousy, originally he was the first warrior in Bangladesh, but since Wu Sangui singled out a brigade of the Wolf Tooth Guards three years ago, talking about brave names, people are talking about him, a damn foreigner!
This is just the time to use Wu Sangui's blood to regain the glory that belongs to him! Charging at the front of the cavalry formation, he was fiercely screaming and constantly pumping his horse.
However, Alafa didn't know that a common sense had been formed in the domestic military circles of the Ming Dynasty, never use your cavalry to impact the front of the Liaodong infantry formation, whether you are a light cavalry with good speed, a medium cavalry with strong comprehensive strength or a fierce heavy cavalry, the sharp cone bullets with strong penetrating power of the Dongjiang River will hit you doubting life!
Rushing galloping over the cavalry array, a few dull cannon sounds preempted the gunshots, and the first to come a burst of dismounting, this time it was not a conical bullet, but the notorious howitzer shell in Liaodong, the high elevation angle of the shell exploded suddenly more than 100 meters above the head of the cavalry, and in the sound of cheering, sixty-four small metal balls with a large number of sharp metal fragments fell down as colorful as the scattered flowers of the heavenly maiden.
Staring at the cavalry charging in the artillery fire is always very tragic, so tragic that Wu Sangui, who had experienced this scene, sympathized, and looked at the Mughal light cavalry who fell off their horses with a telescope, he shook his head with empathy, and after a while, he put down the telescope sympathetically and said pityingly.
"Order the front to fire later, let these Mughal warriors live for a while longer!"
It's definitely mercy, it's definitely not a queue shooting tactic that gets close and then fights! In Wu Sangui's mercy, the Bengal Caiyi cavalry, which rushed more than 20 meters and was attacked by gunfire, fell more than 800 horsemen, and most of them returned to the military formation alive "safely".
"Damn, it's not hard to do!"
Watching the black pressure army pull over from the horizon, just now Ma Shixiu thought he was dead, lying in the trench and squatting for a long time, he didn't have any shit, he was already lying on the ground on the other side, and he poked his head out of the trench, and the veteran ruffian who had followed Zuo Liangyu for more than ten years was ashamed to marvel for a long time, and actually pretended to be up, standing at the head of the trench, his pants were untied, and he was frightened just now and threw out a soak of the boy's holy water against the black pressure Mughal army.
"Come on! And I can do it again! Lao Tzu's big gun is already hungry and thirsty!! ”
However, in the matter of scolding, Ma Shixiu, a veteran ruffian, obviously did not have Wu Sangui, a young rascal, in his hands, no matter how much he shook, a kilometer away was just a small dot, a mosaic, and he was just laughing at himself there. But after repelling the Caiyi cavalry, Wu Sangui also began to drift, and his way of drifting was much more artistic! In the sky above the artillery array, a banner that had been prepared for a long time, four meters wide and more than ten meters long, was pulled open by the sergeant Hula, and hunted with the strong wind by the river.
Holding a bright telescope and looking at the battlefield tremblingly, the next second, looking at the banner that suddenly rose, the whole person of Navabu Jasthanpur trembled suddenly, not frightened, angry!
In front of the banner, a vivid sketch portrait of him is placed there, and then a pig's nose and pig ears are installed, and behind it, there is simply a vivid fat pig body and a mischievous pig tail.
Dare to love last time Wu Sangui invited a famous painter to paint a portrait for him, which is for this!
If this is placed in the Central Plains, an indecent joke between friends in the sky, but it can be placed here in Jastampur, but it is a deep hatred similar to the hatred of killing the father and the hatred of multiple wives, you must know that the Mughal is a trace of blued Mongolian descendants, a trace of blue, pigs are the dirtiest and ugly thing in the whole universe! Wu Sangui's provocation was so severe that if he hadn't been killed, Justtampur would have no face in the future in Suba, Bangladesh!
The face of the nomadic descendant was so characteristic that the wrinkled face was first congested and red, then white with blood loss, and finally blue and black with the rush of blood from rage, and his throat was hoarse, and his voice was even broken again, and the dignified Bengal Vice-King swung forward the Damascus sword like a madman like a woman.
"Offensive !!"
