The Indian army rushed forward and chased forward for more than 20 miles.

Ali Khan and Singh estimated that they were not far from the Taipings, so they ordered the army to speed up.

Not long after, the spies reported that the traces of the Taiping Army had been found in front, and when Ali Khan and Singh heard it, they were overjoyed and excited, and it was really like they had picked up a treasure.

Therefore, they immediately ordered the army to march at full speed, and they must catch up with the Taiping army. At the same time, the two presented a heavy award, saying:-

Kill one enemy, award one liter of rice, kill ten enemies, award a sow, kill 100 enemies, award 10 taels of gold, one elephant, and also promote the official to one level, kill 1,000 enemies, award 100 taels of gold, and promote the official to three levels.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and when the Indian army heard that there was a heavy reward, they cheered in unison, scrambling to move forward, as if they felt that the heavy reward was in the bag.

In front of the Indian army, it was an open field, which looked like a natural battlefield, and the field was large enough to accommodate two or three million people to fight here.

On either side of the open area, there is a small hill that is not too steep, and on the hill grows shrubs more than a person tall and some unknown weeds, and when a gust of wind blows, the shrubs and weeds dance, making people feel refreshed and comfortable.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, perhaps, in the eyes of others, this cool breeze must make people feel refreshed and refreshed, but for the Indian army, it is not the case at all, they only feel that at this time the blood is boiling, that is inexhaustible strength, and the heart is hot.

As soon as they thought of the rewards flying in front of them, they couldn't wait to grab the tail of the Taiping army and slash and kill them indiscriminately.

The Indian army is a little crazy.

And these 510,000 Indian troops entered this open field at a speed much faster than they usually do, and their forward was already close to the hinterland of the open field, and they couldn't think of a pillar of incense. They should be able to cross this place and catch up with the fleeing Taipings.

The shape of the Indian army looks good, while the Taiping army seems to be in danger.

However, at this moment, the wind rose...

In the beginning, it was still a breeze. But in the blink of an eye, the wind was blowing, and the sky was beginning to darken, and it looked like a storm was coming.

Seeing this, the Indian army that was running wildly couldn't help but stop, they looked at the sky, and felt that today's luck was too bad to encounter such a ghost weather.

I can only say that this rain came at an inopportune time.

But. They know that this weather won't last long, and as Indians, they know very well that bad weather here comes and goes quickly, and if they can endure it for a while, the bad weather will pass quickly, and more importantly. They must not watch the Taiping army escape, if they really let the Taiping army escape. Then they are going to lose a great opportunity.

They must grasp that although fighting in the rain is not their forte, and there are too many limitations, they believe that they have more advantages than the Taiping army.

So. Ali Khan and Singh ordered the army to move forward and continue to pursue the Taipings, making sure to take them down.

At the same time, the Indian army also secretly prayed in their hearts, hoping that the rain would not last long.

Maybe the heavens will grant their wishes.

Thereupon. The Indian army continued to move forward and launched a pursuit.

When the Indian army rushed up a little further, suddenly, there seemed to be a rumbling thunder, and the sky became darker.

It is clear that the storm is coming.

But the Indian army didn't blink for a moment, they were willing to brave the heavy rain to chase the Taiping army, because they were still waiting to receive the reward.

Therefore, the fanatical Indian army sprinkled even more.

However, at this moment, suddenly an Indian soldier fell to the ground inexplicably, followed by screams, and then more Indian troops fell to the ground, and a large area was knocked down in an instant.

And the fallen Indian troops howled even more.

In the face of this sudden change, the Indian troops who were running wildly were stunned, and they did not know what was going on.

And at this moment, a loud shout came: "Enemy attack, alert, enemy attack, alert!" ”

This woke up the Indian army, which was in shock, and they realized that they had been ambushed.

Then, there was an immediate panic at the scene, and as more and more Indian troops died without knowing what was happening, fear began to spread among the Indian troops.

Ali Khan and Singh, the two huge Indian army, also knew the severity of the matter, and they shouted for the army not to mess up, and to find cover on the spot to avoid the shooting of random arrows.

At the same time, they also began to kill people, wielding knives and killing some Indian officers who wanted to take the lead in disturbing the morale of the army, in order to prevent the further expansion of the chaos, and as these sharp momentum was slowly calmed down, the shape of the scene also slowly stabilized.

Ali Khan and Singh were also relieved in their hearts.

However, the death continued, and the indiscriminate arrows rained down from the two hills made the Indian army suffer enough.

Fortunately, among the 510,000 Indian troops, there are also 200,000 who claim to be elite, and they are not chaotic in the face of danger, and it is under their leadership that the Indian army has stabilized its position and has not been directly crushed by a chaotic arrow.

After this chaotic arrow, the shouts of killing began to be loud, and a large number of Taiping troops poured out from the hills on both sides of the open field, and they shouted and killed the Indian army.

It turned out that it was the Taiping Army's eastern and western armies that served the Indian army here.

The Taiping army's plan to lure the enemy was basically successful.

When the Indian army saw this, they knew that they had been fooled, Ali Khan and Singh were shocked, and shouted for the Indian army to retreat, but at this time it was too late to retreat, and the Taiping army that came from the hill had already merged with the Indian army, and fought desperately with each other.

Helpless, in order to survive, the Indian army can only passively respond to the battle.

But it wasn't a symmetrical battle all the time, in every sense of the word.

If in terms of numbers, the Taiping army is obviously much more than the Indian army, and in terms of prestige, the Indian army is also at an absolute disadvantage, moreover, the Indian army was ambushed at this time, the casualties were already heavy, and the morale became even lower.

Therefore, under the attack of the Taiping army, the Indian army was defeated and retreated, and basically could not organize effective resistance, so it could only be completely in the position of being passively beaten.

If it continues to develop in this way, the Indian army may really be completely annihilated here.

Faced with this situation, Ali Khan and Singh were also worried, but they could only try their best to command the Indian army to resist.

To tell the truth, they regretted it, regret should not be too aggressive, so they fell into the ambush of the Taiping army, which is all caused by greed.

And now it's useless to say anything, they can only fight, otherwise, there is only a dead end.

So, the two of them struggled to support the battle with the 200,000 elites in their hands.

In fact, they still have a trace of luck in their hearts, hoping that the British army can come in time to relieve them.

In the case of absolute superiority, the Taiping army did not have the slightest concern, just slashed and killed, and under the slaughter they did their best, the Indian army was full of casualties.

At this time, on the battlefield, more than a million troops were gathered, the scene was grand and magnificent, but the test of life and death was constantly staged.

In order to survive, the Indian army had to fight desperately against the Taiping army, because if they didn't fight hard, they would only die, and in order to achieve the set goal, the Taiping army must also do their best, because they came to kill people, and how can they win the war without killing people.

So, both sides are working hard for their goals.

However, more and more people died. (To be continued......)
