"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Lai Toad shouted to his subordinates, his first brigade of the British army had just finished fighting for a while, and he was ordered by Chen Defang after retreating and resting for less than half an hour. Now on the way south to die!

However, Lai Toad and his men did not know this, they all left the camp before dawn, first outside the Delhi army stockade, and then attacked, and fought four battles, all of them did not close their eyes for more than ten hours, and now they had to march in full gear. I'm so tired!

Fortunately, they are all first-generation "old soldiers", all of them are less than 30 years old, and they have eaten and drunk well and have been trained rigorously for many years. It was the best time for physical strength and martial arts, so he could not resist Prince Chen's blind commanding style.

"Brothers, do your best! After this battle, we will be nobles for generations! ”

Lai Toad ran out of breath, and he didn't forget to roar a few times to cheer up his subordinates.

"That's right! After this battle, it will be an inexhaustible credit for generations! But the most blessed is still Lai Touer, who has both wealth and wealth! ”

"Lai Tou'er, does that little lady in your family have any sisters, do you want to introduce one to all of us?"

"Yes, Lai Tou'er, you can't swallow it alone, it will hurt your body if you swallow it all!"

Lai Toad heard a group of subordinates talk about meat jokes, and he was not angry. still has the energy to think about this, which means that they still have surplus physical strength, and they are not afraid of having no strength to fight when they meet the elite of the Delhi Sultan later.

He laughed out loud: "Good to say, good to say!" As long as we fight the current battle, we are all great nobles of Tianzhu. Are you afraid that there is no good mother-in-law? ”

The soldiers let out a burst of cheers, and the fatigue of their bodies seemed to have gone a little. All of them quickened their pace.

And it wasn't just the toad's battalion that gave this cheer, almost all the troops were marching with a roar. Victory is already in sight. The glory and wealth of future generations are here. The morale of the three armies is naturally like a rainbow!

Chen Defang was riding on a horse, and when he heard the cheers one after another, he was also a little complacent.

Husbands should be like this! A husband can't be without power for a day!

With the three armies in hand and thousands of people surrounded, who in the world dares not to obey? This feels so good, no wonder Chen Dexing rebelled and ran away, and he was unwilling to obediently hand over his military power to become a rich man.

It's just that when I thought that the British monarch is not himself, but his father Chen Huaiqing. Chen Defang's brows gradually twisted into a ball, this old man's body is fine! Listen to people. Over the years, he and Dharma Polo have learned what double cultivation tantra and collecting yin and replenishing yang, and his body and bones have become more and more hardened. The imperial doctors in the palace all said that his old man could live to be a hundred years old!

If that's the case, I'll have to be the prince for more than 30 years! It's really exciting......

In the night, Chen Defang's face was already full of clouds. Delhi will win the first battle, and then this military power should be returned to the British King Chen Huaiqing, and only God knows whether he can get it back in the future!

……

"Fat!"

"Stretch ......"

With a shout, the sound of bowstrings rattling was heard in the air. Countless clusters of arrows burst through the night sky and rained down from the sky. It struck the heavily armored Graham Guard, making a clanging sound and splashing a lot of sparks, but the man was unscathed. But not all of the arrows hit the Iron Man-like Graham Guard. The horses under their crotches, their unarmored servants, and the pack horses that carried heavy loads for them. It's also covered by feathered arrows!

The screams of men and horses suddenly rang out, and the marching ranks were also a little confused. The pace has also slowed down considerably.

"The Sultan has a commandment: stay calm and not panic and make noise. Keep marching! The right flank archers attacked......"

The Persian herald sounded as several horsemen galloped out of the Sultan's ranks, galloping on horseback and loudly conveying the orders of the Sultan of Balpan.

Hundreds of heavily clothed Ghulam guards immediately grabbed the reins, dismounted from their horses with the help of their servants, and drew their bows and arrows into the darkness.

Although their archery skills are good, but the sky is too dark now, and they can't see anything from dozens of steps away. In doing so, they are merely appeasing people's hearts.

They shot arrows on the right flank, but on the left flank there was another sound of horses' hooves, and then countless clusters of arrows flew from the darkness......

It was Shi Tianze's light cavalry who was harassing these Ghulam guards with cavalry shooting. The cavalry of the historians were all students of the Mongols, and their fighting style was all steppe-style. The ability to shoot arrows on horseback is definitely first-class in the Han army.

Of course, on such a dark day, they were shooting arrows indiscriminately. It's just that the Delhi Sultan's army marched with torches, and the target was too big, so Shi Tianze's people took advantage.

Why light torches? Of course, he was afraid that the servants of the Ghulam Guards would escape in the dark. The night march is the most morale-testing battle, Shi Tianze's "old soldiers" will not run, they are big masters in a blink of an eye, where are there deserters on the eve of the victory of the revolution? And this is India, Shi Tianze's soldiers have no place to run, so they can shoot arrows in the dark.

"The Sultan has an order, keep going, don't stop, don't attack without permission!"

The Sultan's heralds roared again. Brave the enemy's rain of arrows! The Sultan of Balban was a good general who had been in battle for a long time, and knew that he could not entangle with the Chinese light cavalry now. And the heavy cavalry can never entangle the truly elite light cavalry, and the heavy cavalry is not for this, their soldiers who fight tough battles.

As long as you make a detour to the back of the main force of the Chinese army, this battle will be fought. Therefore, the Sultan of Paleban gritted his teeth and urged his troops to speed up their march, no matter how many arrows were fired, they could not stop.

However, Shi Tianze's light cavalry not only had bows and arrows, but they also carried a lot of rockets, both signal rockets and anti-personnel rockets loaded with small iron pieces.

Boom......

The Sultan's heralds were still shouting, and two balls of fire rose from the mighty marching procession.

This time, the rocket exploded, and countless pieces of broken iron flew around. Although because the rockets do not have a hard shell, they are not enough to generate the tremendous air pressure to turn these pieces of iron into sharp blades that can be deadly. But they are still cut on the unarmored war horses. And the scene of the explosion was also terrifying. Suddenly, many Indian horses who had never seen the world were stunned. Screaming and scurrying around, some of the wounded servants of the Ghulam also fell to the ground and cried for their fathers and mothers.

It's a mess!

Damn it! The Sultan of Balban cried out in his heart. This doesn't make people live! The light cavalry still brought the bomb to the battlefield? How can this battle be fought?

"Keep going! Ignore them......" Sultan Balban ordered, gritting his teeth. There can be no delay now, and if the timing is missed, there is no chance of victory.

But it was not up to him to decide on the matter, and his orders had not yet been conveyed. A few more orange-red fires flew and swooped down, plunging directly into the marching ranks of the Delhi army. This was followed by several loud explosions......

That's it!

What bitterness in the heart of the Sultan of Balban! It's endless, and if it goes on like this, how can the army continue to advance? The Ghulam Guards below are not wooden people, they are all soldiers who think they are strong in martial arts, how can they stand up to the bombardment like this? If you don't send someone to expel you. I'm afraid someone is going to do it themselves!

"Let Kekobad take 3,000 men to expel these damn Chinese cavalry!" The Sultan of Balban gritted his teeth and ordered. He also knew that it would not be of any use, and that 3,000 heavy cavalry would simply not be able to catch the same number of light cavalry. And the number of opponents is likely to be more than 3,000, they can completely attract these 3,000 heavy cavalry with a small part of their forces, and then use the rest to continue to harass ......

"Sultan! Enemy! The enemy's brigade! One of the Sultan's guards suddenly shouted, his tone full of joy.

What the? The Sultan of Paleban was stunned for a moment, and looked up to the north. In the night, countless torches have appeared in the northern sky, forming a mighty dragon. It was an army in the making.

He quickly stood up on his horse's pedal and craned his neck to look again. In the direction of Delhi in the north, there is still a faint glow of fire, and the battle on the side of Yamuna continues! The enemy actually divided his troops and went south!

Thank God! The Sultan of Palepan was about to shed tears. This is clearly the manifestation of the true God!

……

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, it's time to deploy your troops. Advance in brigade phalanxes! ”

A staff officer who graduated from the Daming Army Military Academy rode a horse to Chen Defang's side and made a loud suggestion.

The Ghulam Guards were all heavy cavalry, and their impact should not be underestimated. It is necessary to have the troops form a phalanx to deal with it.

Like Baleban, Chen Defang also stood up on his horseback. Crane your neck to watch the Delhi army coming up from the south. It seems to be tens of thousands of people.

Fortunately, he came up with a large army. Otherwise, how could Shi Tianze block so many enemy troops? If they were allowed to rush to the Yamuna River, they would be in great trouble. Admiring his wise command, Chen Defang gave the order: "Let the troops unfold, eight brigade-level squares will form a large phalanx, and the British Second Brigade will be in the center." ”

"Send someone to contact King Shi Su again, and ask him to gather the cavalry and stand by! This time, we're going to have a big fight! ”

……

"All the Ghulam Guards, dismount and form a team!"

The Sultan of Delhi also gave the order at this time, and chose to fight on foot without hesitation. His cavalry had been marching for most of the day at great reins, and they had long since run out of horsepower. And in the face of a phalanx of muskets, cannons, and pikes, the heavy cavalry charge did not play much of a role. It is better to let the heavy cavalry dismount and use hand-to-hand combat to solve the opponent......

To be sure, the leader of the Delhi Sultanate made little mistake in this war against the invading Eight Kingdoms of China. Both strategically and tactically, he made the right choice.

In the battle that would determine the life and death of the Delhi Sultanate, he also made no big mistakes...... In addition to the decisive battle near Delhi!

On the other hand, his opponent, Frank Chan, has repeatedly rejected the right advice. First of all, he vetoed the proposal to go north to Lahore and lure the enemy to follow the field battle; Then, in the Battle of Delhi, he divided his troops into two routes, personally led nine brigades of infantry, and marched rapidly for most of the night, and finally met the Delhi Sultan's roundabout army on the plains on the west bank of the Yamuna before dawn.

"Dismounted? It seems that this Delhi Sultan is nothing more than that! ”

Chen Defang looked at the gram guards who came in formation, and suddenly showed a relaxed expression, and waved impatiently at the subordinates who came to ask for instructions, "Do what you want!" ”

The cavalry actually dismounted, and the battle was won after all!

An artillery battalion that followed Chen Defang's attack had also completed its deployment at this time, and in the middle of the three brigade-level phalanxes, two artillery positions were set up with 18 3-inch cannons.

"Sanli! Fire! ”

When the enemy entered the range of the cannons, the artillery officers gave an order, and a thunderous roar spread over the field shrouded in darkness, the muzzles of the guns spewed flames, and eighteen solid shells whistled and flew towards the military formation of the Delhi army. It seemed to hit a little high, and it swept directly over the heads of the Ghulam Guards, flew far away before slamming down, and then bounced again. This time, six of the eighteen shells swept into a phalanx of the Ghulam Guards in the back row, and immediately opened six bloody paths, which were enough to penetrate ten rows of soldiers before losing their power. Everywhere the cannonballs passed, it was all a piece of flesh and blood, no matter how strong the warrior was, no matter how strong the armor was approved, in front of the cannonballs driven by H medicine, it was a puddle of flesh and blood!

"God is great! God bless ......"

Shouts rang out in the battle formations of the Ghulam Guards, and the blood wafting through the air seemed to inspire the fighting spirit of these slave warriors. The warrior, who had been brainwashed by religion since childhood, burst out into a frenzied cry at this time. The speed of the charge also increased suddenly!

On the other side, the sound of the cannon also accelerated abruptly, and after two more volleys, it was mixed with a swishing shrill hissing, followed by a terrible shout. This is the aftermath of a shotgun attack!

The Sultan of Delhi, who was riding on his horse to supervise the battle, paid no attention to it, and just looked intently ahead. In the dim light of dozens of bonfires, the musketeers of the brigade had already lined up, the rifles that had lit the arquebuses were already on the shields, and the muzzles of countless black holes were pointed forward.

Suddenly, a row of large and small fires flashed, and the Ghulam Guards who rushed to the front suddenly fell! But the fighters behind were undaunted and continued to charge despite the enemy's fire! The second and third platoons of guns were fired quickly, and deadly lead bullets rained down on the charging Ghulam Guards......

However, the charge keeps going! The Sultan of Delhi held up his binoculars, and he saw that the enemy musketeers were retreating, giving way to the charge, and in their place were countless flattened spears!

Brutal hand-to-hand combat is about to begin...... (To be continued.) )
