Volume 14 Chapter 45 The sound of hooves shook the sky

Darla. Shike was also carefully observing the situation of the Ming army with binoculars at this time, but the actions of the Ming army were very incomprehensible, after they lined up in formation, they did not attack or drown, and stood there so straight.

What does this mean, than patience? No matter how he compares, he can't charge with the heavy armor infantry, the heavy armor infantry runs up three miles with a huge shield and is not tired and half dead, and he still fights a fart!

Since the opposite side is going to be consumed, then consume it, anyway, he won't rush up, than patience, he has.

However, the Ming generals on the opposite side didn't seem to have much patience, and after the two sides confronted each other for a while, he actually withdrew the cavalry on the right flank.

Is this trying to lure me to attack the right wing? Darla. Shike pouted disdainfully, and a fool would rush forward!

Then the whole battlefield entered an eerie calm, and the two sides did not talk or attack, just confronted each other quietly, like an army waiting to be reviewed.

Almost an hour later, the Ming army finally moved, still the right wing, still the cavalry, but this time the cavalry on the right flank ran back, and it seemed that there was a small half more.

Darla. Shike was still unmoved, this hour, he thought a lot, he found that he still had a chance to withdraw, as long as he waited until the evening, everyone collected the troops and returned to the camp, he could let his soldiers rest in the first half of the night, and run directly in the second half of the night, and when the Ming army reacted the next morning, they had already run out for dozens of miles!

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng is not talking to Dara. Shikebi was patient, he was just waiting for the cavalry on the right flank to arrive, and now that the cavalry was coming, he was immediately ready to launch.

In the thermal weapons warfare of this period, it was first necessary to find out the range, approximate number and approximate location of the opponent's artillery, because the lethality of the artillery was too great.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally knew this, and when the cavalry on the right flank was arranged, he immediately ordered: "Order the infantry in the front row to maintain the formation and advance a hundred steps forward at a pace." “

The heralds galloped away, and soon the infantry in the front row began to march forward in a neat manner.

This speed of propulsion in turn put Darla. Shike was confused, looking at the posture of the Ming army, he definitely didn't want to charge, what does it mean to move over so slowly?

He had not used artillery to bombard anyone, so naturally he did not know that the Ming army wanted to test the range, approximate number and approximate location of the artillery on his side.

Soon, the infantry in the front row had advanced a hundred paces and stopped there.

Lu Xiangsheng continued to order with an expressionless face: "Order the infantry in the front row, maintain the formation, and advance another hundred steps at a pace." “

Soon, the infantry in the front row advanced another hundred steps, and there was still no movement on the opposite side.

Lu Xiangsheng continued to order with an expressionless face: "Order the infantry in the front row, maintain the formation, and advance another hundred steps at a pace." “

Soon, the infantry in the front row advanced another hundred steps, and there was still no movement on the opposite side, which advanced one mile, that is to say, the distance between the two sides was only two miles, and the opposite side had not yet opened fire!

Where did he know, Darla. Shike didn't care about artillery at all, and took him with dozens of guns, but they were all thrown into the camp.

At this distance, the Type 620 howitzer is almost able to hit the enemy's forward, since you don't bomb, then I'll bomb.

Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth and directly ordered: "Order, the artillery, the cavalry on the left and right flanks, and the infantry of the Siamese Legion are advancing three hundred paces at a pace. “

Soon the artillery, the cavalry on the left and right flanks, and the infantry of the Siamese regiment all advanced three hundred paces, and the Ming army returned to its original formation.

Lu Xiangsheng ordered without hesitation: "Let all Type 620 howitzers be loaded with solid shells and test fire one round." “

Darla. Of course, Shike knew that the Ming army had artillery, and he also knew that this distance had entered the range of the artillery, and the reason why he didn't move at all was actually to see how many artillery the Ming army had.

The roar of "boom boom" artillery rang out from the Ming army's formation, and more than 200 solid bullets flew into the shield array with an arc, and more than 200 unlucky Mughal soldiers became victims of the temptation of the main generals of both sides, the shields were smashed to pieces, and the people were almost smashed into pulp.

Darla. Shike breathed a sigh of relief, there were only more than two hundred artillery pieces, and there was still a chance, he ordered without hesitation: "Maintain the formation and slowly retreat a mile." “

Lu Xiangsheng saw a row of artillery shells bombarding past, the other party did not use artillery to return fire, but slowly retreated, and finally understood that there was no artillery in the opponent's formation at all, so what else was there to worry about, he directly ordered: "The whole army is here, it is moving forward, keep up." “

The two sides retreated and advanced, as if they were practicing formations, tacitly cooperating, as if they were playing a friendly match, in fact, of course it was not like this, the main generals on both sides were creating opportunities in their own favor, ready to sacrifice their lives!

After retreating a mile, Darla. Shike immediately ordered: "The infantry maintains formation, and the cavalry is ready to charge." “

After that, he raised the telescope and swept towards the other party, the Ming army was as he imagined, did not stop, and was still slowly approaching, he couldn't help but get excited in his heart: "Very good, how about letting you bomb a few rounds, wait a little longer You will know the power of the ironclad cavalry, a little closer, a little closer." “

Lu Xiangsheng is also using a telescope to estimate the distance between the enemy and us, his idea is very simple, as long as the opponent's shield array is completely within the range of artillery, he will go straight to work!

As the Ming army advanced, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, two miles, one and a half miles, and one and a half miles.

This distance met the expectations of the two commanders, and the commanders of both sides issued orders almost simultaneously.

Darla. Shike howled excitedly, "Cavalry charge!" “

Lu Xiangsheng calmly ordered: "The whole army stops advancing, and all artillery is loaded with solid shells and bombarded non-stop. “

At this moment, the left and right rear flanks of the Mughal Empire sounded the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, and the ironclad cavalry came!

Lu Xiangsheng ordered without hesitation: "Let Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming lead the cavalry to meet me, and I must not let the ironclad cavalry rush into the advance formation." “

Soon, the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Ming army also began to charge, more than 100,000 cavalry rushed to each other, the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, and the whole battlefield seemed to tremble!

Darla. Shike is confident, the heavy cavalry and light cavalry hedge, even if it is one to two, it also has an advantage, because the heavy cavalry and horses are wearing heavy armor, even if they collide directly, they can knock over a large area, and they are even more advantageous in hand-to-hand combat, you cut it, we are all in heavy armor, you can cut it, but if I cut you, you will be finished!

Lu Xiangsheng is also confident, 100,000 light cavalry against 50,000 heavy armored cavalry, it may be a little difficult to annihilate them all, but it is not a problem to entangle them at all, as long as the heavy armored infantry in the middle is solved, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, what is the use, stabbing them to death if they are surrounded and stabbed!
