This wave of siege almost brought Darra. Shike was so angry that he spurted blood, 50,000 heavy armored infantry, he was beaten back without even climbing the city wall, it was a shame, and more importantly, he still hadn't figured out what was going on!

Aren't there miners on the walls? They didn't seem to do anything, so they poured hot oil and threw a few sticks of firewood, which everyone can do!

Just as he was puzzled, the siege army threw down the siege engine and began to run back.

He secretly said badly, these idiots, what are you running, if they push on the siege engine, even if they move back slowly, it will be fine, and now they have thrown all the siege vehicles, looking for death!

Sure enough, the besieging army had just run back about three hundred paces, and the terrible roar of artillery in the city rang out again, this time they had no siege vehicle protection, and the dark cloud of scattered bullets immediately knocked down a large area.

At this time, all the heavy infantry who participated in the siege changed their lazy style and ran back desperately, and some even took off the armor on their bodies and threw it away, just to be able to run faster.

The roar of artillery in the city continued to sound, but after three rounds, there was no longer a single Mughal Empire soldier standing within the barrage, and they actually ran nearly a thousand meters in three minutes, running out of the range of artillery!

One scatter bomb can probably cause more than 10 casualties, 600 shots can cause about 7 or 8,000 casualties at a time, even if it only hits three rounds, the siege army has lost more than 20,000 people, plus those who were burned to death by oil fire, 50,000 people rushed up, and less than half of them could come back in the end.

Perhaps because they ran too quickly, all the soldiers who participated in the siege were desperately panting after running back, and some even foamed at the mouth and lay on the ground convulsions.

Looking at the embarrassed siege army, Darla. Shik almost wanted to cry without tears, is this the main army of the Mughal Empire that he is proud of? Being beaten like this by a bunch of miners, what the hell is going on!

The nightmare of the main army of the Mughal Empire seemed to have just begun, and before he could figure out what to do next, he suddenly remembered the sound of hurried horses' hooves in the distance, and a scout frantically beat his horse and rushed towards the Chinese army.

Sure enough, as soon as the scout rushed to the Chinese army, he rolled off his horse, lay on the ground and shouted in fear: "Your Highness, it's not good, ten miles south of Goa City, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Empire have been found, and they are rapidly approaching our army!" “

Darla. When Shike heard this, his face changed, and he quickly ran forward, picked up the scout, and roared angrily: "Hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands? “

The scout took a breath and said with difficulty: "Your Highness, there are too many people, I can't count them, look at the scale, there are at least 300,000!" “

300,000! Darla. Shkton retreated, and he asked with luck, "Do they have cavalry?" “

The scout swallowed his saliva and nodded bitterly: "Yes, the sound of horses' hooves is like rolling thunder, and there are at least 100,000 cavalry!" “

This time the scout was wrong, in fact, there are many horses that pull field howitzers, and the army led by Lu Xiangsheng has a total of only 80,000 cavalry, but this is no longer important, as long as the opponent's cavalry exceeds 50,000, it will be difficult to run.

Darla. Shike looked at the embarrassed siege army, and then reluctantly ordered: "Order, all the infantry who did not participate in the siege will line up in place, and the cavalry will be divided into two, hidden five miles away from the left and right flanks of the infantry, ready to charge at any time, and all the soldiers who participated in the siege will immediately return to the camp to rest." “

He was really helpless, it was difficult to escape, and holding on to the spot might be able to defeat the Ming army, after all, he still had 50,000 ironclad cavalry in his hands, which was a force that was enough to turn the tide of the battle.

After arranging everything, he stood in the shield array on his horse, waiting for the arrival of the Ming army.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect that this Dala. Shike will be so calm and calm, if he chooses to run away or hurry back to the camp This battle is basically over, because as long as they turn their backs, their formation will be chaotic, and their morale will be greatly affected, and in the face of the imposing Ming army, they will definitely not last long.

This in-situ formation defense is more troublesome, in the face of heavy infantry with huge shields, muskets are almost useless, artillery can have a certain effect, but in the face of this criss-crossing fish scale array, the artillery is actually not very effective, a solid bullet can kill a heavy infantry is good, as for scattered bullets and flowering bullets, it is purely to tickle!

This kind of fish-scale defensive array is the first time he has seen it, it is impossible to deploy it like this in the era of cold weapons, and it is definitely not possible to shoot with solid bullets, not that the army has not prepared so many solid bullets, mainly because people's shield arrays can be moved, and people carrying shields on their backs are definitely faster than you pushing cannons.

Moreover, he also knew that the other side had 50,000 ironclad cavalry, and if the artillery array was lined up in front and aimed at the shield array and bombarded slowly, the other party would definitely dispatch the iron cavalry, and when the time came, the 50,000 iron cavalry would rush into the artillery array, and this loss would be great.

Of course, the Ming army also has cavalry, but now the Tianxiong Army and the Dongjiang Army add up to a total of only 80,000 light cavalry, and the Siamese army has no cavalry, they do have elephant soldiers, but the war elephants have not been transported, can 80,000 light cavalry win against 50,000 iron cavalry?

He carefully observed the formation of the Mughal Empire's army and thought calmly.

After thinking for a while, he put down his binoculars and decisively ordered: "Order Mao Wenlong, the commander of the Dongjiang Army, to lead the Tianxiong Army and the infantry of the Dongjiang Army to set up a defensive formation in front of the enemy's formation, order all the artillery to line up behind the infantry according to the firing distance, and order You Shilu to lead the Siamese Army to deploy a defensive formation behind the artillery array." The cavalry of the Tianxiong Army was ordered to assemble on the left flank of the artillery array, and the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army was assembled on the right flank of the artillery array. “

The heralds began to scatter orders, and after the 300,000 troops began to deploy their formations, Lu Xiangsheng ordered again: "Order the two generals, Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming, to go out of the city as soon as possible to meet them." “

Soon the north gate of Goa City was opened, and Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming galloped out on horseback, and soon came to the Chinese army.

They galloped to Lu Xiangsheng, and immediately reined in their horses, turned over, dismounted, and knelt on one knee and said loudly: "The last generals, Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming, see Generalissimo Lu." “

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and said directly: "No courtesy, how many cavalry can you organize now?" “

Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming stood up and glanced at each other, Hou Shilu immediately arched his hand and said: "Generalissimo Qilu, because the war horses are not easy to hide, the First Legion of the Expeditionary Force only carried 20,000 war horses to hide near the landing beach, and the rest of the war horses were all left near Mysore and not brought over. “

Another 20,000 should be about the same, Lu Xiangsheng directly ordered: "General Hou, quickly go to the right flank of the big array and lead the 30,000 cavalry of the Dongjiang Army to fetch the war horses, and then lead the 50,000 cavalry of the Dongjiang Army and the First Army of the Expeditionary Force back to the right flank of the big array, General Qin, you go to the left flank of the big array to command the 50,000 cavalry of the Tianxiong Army." “

Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming obeyed the order, turned over on their horses again, beat their horses and galloped away, while Lu Xiangsheng raised his binoculars and continued to observe the enemy formation.
