Chapter 274 Defeat them with our war elephants!
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin took King Marbury with him in his command car, and also followed the team forward in a squeezing pursuit...... From now on, they have become mobile warfare, and this style of play has long been planned by them...... Therefore, the whole team did not appear to be too busy.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin pointed to the group of captives who had been escorted to the rear and said to King Marbury: "It doesn't matter what religion they profes, and it doesn't matter where they are from...... Be sure to treat your captives well...... For them, the war was over, and they now mostly belonged to the laborers of the Federal Empire. ”
King Marbury nodded in agreement, poking his head out of the window of his carriage and shouting the local dialect to his soldiers.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin was pleased to see that the soldiers all bowed and saluted when they heard King Marbury's order, indicating that they understood...... This battle also made King Marbury's majesty even more high.
In fact, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin was overly concerned...... In the internal battles in the Tianzhu region, except for deep hatred, there is basically no habit of killing prisoners.
An agrarian society could feed prisoners of war through agricultural production...... You could have turned them into slaves.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin just took too much thought of the interests of the Federal Empire.
He knew what he was fighting for...... He's fighting for the future of the Federal Empire, he's fighting for his future!
The development of the Federal Empire required too much labor...... Every time he looked at the map of the world, he deeply realized the importance of labor...... Without population, there can be no development anywhere.
He couldn't help but hate the massacre of the Tatar robbers even more...... When he remembered the number of people who had been innocently killed by them as written in the "Liuqiu Times", he hated it!
The Times is right, only the enemies of humanity will always want to reduce the population!
Only those who will take the population as a burden!!
All the territories of the Federal Empire were developed by labor......
When Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin sighed in the four-wheeled carriage, he could still hear the occasional gunfire in front of him, and from the gunshots, he could hear that it was a weapon of the Imperial Army...... This shows that the other party has no ability to resist at all.
The communications soldiers are now riding fast horses and constantly reporting to him on the battle ahead...... Every debriefing made his heart flutter.
The squeezing pursuit really worked, and they captured more and more prisoners and horses, many of which were unable to run in the end, so they could only be captured there honestly...... What made him even happier was that there were even those who took the initiative to surrender!
It turned out that those people were Aryans from the Delhi region who practiced the Tianzhu religion, and they were forced to convert and follow the Sultan's army everywhere...... They were not hard-hearted followers of the Delhi Sultan, but they were forced to obey by the situation...... So, at the first opportunity, they will soon surrender.
King Marbury wanted to integrate them into his own ranks, which was rejected by Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin, the Marbury army was trained by the Imperial Army, belonged to the firearms army, and the way of fighting was too different from the native-style style of fighting with knives and guns, if they were blindly grouped together, it would only be bad and unlikely to help.
King Marbury didn't care about being rejected at all, he didn't care about anything now, he leisurely smoked a cigarette in the command car, and drank the herbal tea equipped in the command car with a bamboo tube.
All the previous worries and fears are gone, and the military affairs are left to the people of the Federal Empire.
King Marbury's mind began to draw up a grand blueprint...... The whole Tianzhu area...... Yes!
There were quite a few cavalrymen who ran away in the end, and they finally met their infantry.
Adjutant Masard, assistant to General Firuz Karji, couldn't believe his eyes when he saw their son's embarrassed look!
30,000 cavalry defeated?!
Even if you are defeated, how can you run back to this little person?!
The cavalry told what had happened to them...... Adjutant Masard's scalp was numb...... General Firuz Kargi died without even a chance to wield a knife?!
Adjutant General Masrall hurriedly ordered the garrison...... The only good news was that the Marbury army was made up of men in two uniforms, and their numbers were not too large, probably no more than 10,000.
But what kind of weapons did they use, and was it really as terrible as the cavalry said?
The fleeing cavalry brought back terrible news...... Terrible legends dance around the barracks like bats in the dark, and they are transmitted from one person's mouth to another's ears with precision.
"Vimana fired a sharp arrow with a fire-breathing tail......"
"Shine with a terrible light...... Brighter than a hundred suns......"
"There were terrible loud noises everywhere on the battlefield...... A brave cavalryman can be crushed with men and horses! ”
When the former king of the princely state of Didar heard the rumors, he said sadly:
"They have new and more terrible weapons! …… I might as well accept their offer...... It is better to be a high-ranking official in the province of Diedal than to go into exile everywhere now...... Where else can we go? ”
His men looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The original earth king made a decision immediately...... Let's run west, then south, and surrender them...... The mighty Sultan's elite cavalry was defeated so much...... Our failures are nothing.
Surrender to them, and now it seems that they didn't kill us when they defeated us.
So, the group quietly absconded west from the barracks during the night, and they were far more familiar with the roads here than the others.
The elite cavalry who fled back also ran a lot...... They waited until the horses were readjusted, and some of them secretly fled to the north!
They were terrified by those terrible weapons...... They never believed that they could win a battle with the infantry they looked down upon, even though Adjutant Masalter had been preaching that their elephant army could defeat their opponents...... I really don't believe it, elephants are also afraid of the kind of sharp arrows that can breathe fire!
Adjutant Masred relied on his elephant army and placed them in the barracks of the first platoon...... There's no way around it...... If he runs back without even fighting a battle, the military elite will tear himself apart with a lion!
On this night, some war elephants neighed from time to time...... According to the elephant slaves, it was the elephant expressing concern for something.
Elephants are humanoid animals.
The next day, a soldier sent out to inspect came back to report that the army of the country of Mabury was approaching five khars away...... They didn't have many cavalry, and they didn't have many soldiers, but the strange carriages were lined up in a long line, and they couldn't count them for a while.
Adjutant Masrd's heart began to beat wildly, but when he heard that they had only been marching smoothly, his heart relaxed a little.
If they were as good as the rumors suggested, they should have attacked our camp a long time ago...... And they have been marching smoothly, which suggests that they may have scruples...... Maybe they're really afraid of our war elephants!
However, instead of fleeing, they came to our barracks......
Adjutant Marsard gritted his teeth and laid out a new formation...... He ordered all the war elephants to be lined up in front of the battle, and each of them had twice as many archers on its back, and ordered them to shoot arrows as soon as the opponent reached range!
The war elephants were flanked by spearmen, who were ordered to keep up with them as they charged...... At the feet of the war elephants, any strange chariot will be trampled to pieces!
Then let the elephant slave see the other party's figure and directly drive the elephant to impact!
He listened to the report of the cavalry, and the other party did not listen to the persuasion to surrender and went directly to the battle...... Therefore, they also have to attack when the other party is unprepared......
