Chapter 265: Fire Camel Breaks War Elephant!

The Eastern Han army and the Indian Mughal army lined up in the plains on the outskirts of the city and engaged in battles.

In the front row are the Mughal Empire's cannon fodder light infantry, responsible for protecting their war elephants.

More than 100 large war elephants lined up behind the light infantry, and archers and spearmen on the back of the elephants were ready for battle.

Further behind are the elite heavy cavalry, which will follow after the elephant assaults the opposing formation, destroying the enemy in one fell swoop.

Unlike the impression of the Indian civilization, which was full of infantry, the Mughal Empire of India had a large number of cavalry, and even cavalry was the main force.

Kshatriya ascended to command this 100,000-100,000-level battle.

The Chinese army was the Indian Mughal Empire Legion, the left flank was the Dongying Goryeo Legion, and the right flank was the Southeast Asian Legion.

This is a contest between the civilizations of East Asia and South Asia, which determines who can become the hegemon of Asia between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Mughal Empire, two civilizations with similar populations.

The Mughal Empire has always regarded the Eastern Han Empire as the greatest threat.

"If it were in the Overworld, the total population of our lords would be larger than that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but unfortunately the population could not play a role in the war. Wait for me to unify the Mughal Empire, attack the Central Asian countries in the north, and then attack the Western Regions Protectorate, and shock the Eastern Han Dynasty! ”

Kshatriya ambitions.

The population of the Mughal Empire was the same as that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the number of heroes was relatively small.

As long as he unified the Mughal Empire in advance, even the entire Eastern Han Dynasty would tremble.

"The Mughal Empire will be a formidable enemy in the future, but not now."

Chu Tian felt the hostility of the other party.

He likewise divided his troops into three armies.

The main force and servant army of the Eastern Han Dynasty were in the middle army, the Lianpo regiment and the low-level corps were on the left flank, and the corps of the Grand Duchy of Moscow was on the right flank.

"You Eastern Han Dynasty together are only 50,000 people, and you can serve as the tasks of the Chinese army and the left wing at the same time?"

Seeing that her 60,000 men were concentrated on the right flank, and that the Eastern Han Legion was tasked with two phalanxes, Catherine couldn't help but doubt the ability of the Eastern Han Legion.

"Shut up. If your right-wing legion can't defeat the Toei samurai, I'll kill you. ”

“……”

Catherine found that Chutian was completely unreasonable, and her legion was used by Chutian as a sword to destroy the enemy.

The Cossack cavalry was very fast, and such a cavalry was unceremoniously requisitioned by Chutian. Their opponents were the samurai of the East.

"Strategist, are the camels ready?"

In order to break the formation, Chutian decided to sacrifice the camels captured from the lords of the Arab Empire.

Many of the trophies of the Arab civilization were very useful, and the soldiers of the Arab Empire did not care for their lives, and their camels were also of great use.

Fang Xuanling replied, "It's ready." ”

"Today, the war elephants of the Mughal Empire will die here."

Chu Tian was very sure.

In the Eastern Han camp, the chief general of the Chinese army, Le Yi, the deputy general Li Guang, and the Han army of 10,000, with the shooting battalion as the main force. Another 24,000 servant troops served in reserve in the rear. The Chinese army is good at attacking.

Lian Po, the main general of the left army, 5,000 Han troops (Hu Ma, Zhao Long's remnants), plus 20,000 low-level soldiers (recruited from four cities). The left army is good at defense.

The commander of the right army was the hero of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Dmitry of Don, who once defeated the Mongols, with an army of 60,000 people, including elite Cossack cavalry. The right army is good at attacking.

Chutian's tactics were very simple, using Lian Po's left army to defend and pinn down, the Chinese army inflicting a large number of casualties on the enemy, and then using the right army to destroy the enemy's left army (Goryeo Dongying Army).

In frontal combat, there is very little room for maneuver, and more attention is paid to the quality of the generals and soldiers on both sides.

Because he once fought with Catherine's legion, Chutian knew the strength of her legion, so he dared to let Catherine's legion serve as the right army.

"The war elephants seem to be a little restless, what's going on?"

The elephant soldiers of the Mughal Legion noticed that their mounts seemed to be a little uneasy, unlike usual.

Indian hero Shivaji has the ability to bolster his army of war elephants, who shouldn't be so easily agitated, but this time is unusual.

On the opposite side of them, a Heavenly Khan, a Tsar, and two monarch traits stack, affecting even the Elephant Soldier as a high-level class.

Kshatriya had not yet realized the abilities of Chutian and Catherine and insisted on attacking.

The battlefield was very depressing, the sound of the warrior's breathing, the wheezing of the horses, and the sporadic clash of shields and armor could all be heard, and the soldiers on both sides were accumulating strength.

"We have been besieged for nearly a month, and the enemy has bullied the few, and today is the day when we are defeated! No matter what happens, fight to the death! ”

"Fight to the death!"

Before the two sides were about to fight, Lian Po personally boosted the morale, and the morale of the left army was boosted!

Many soldiers of the left army were besieged by the Mughal Empire's legions, and most of their companions were killed or wounded, and at this time they finally had the opportunity to kill the enemy and take revenge!

"Lian Po is the general who is blocking the Great Qin Legion head-on."

Chu Tian noticed that the morale of Lian Po's army had increased, and at the same time, the defense had also been improved.

The Left Army, indestructible!

Chu Tian did not bring Zhou Yafu, who was good at defense, to arrive, but now he has Lian Po's help, which is not inferior to Zhou Yafu in any way.

"This battle is related to the first place in the national war, and if we fail, we can only retreat temporarily."

"There will be no failure, they will lose."

The Eastern Han camp only gathered three lords, and the other Eastern Han lords were scattered all over the place, and they could not be assembled for a while.

This decisive battle mainly relied on the generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as well as the main force and servant army of the Han army.

"Takeda-kun, opposite us are the Boye heavy cavalry and the Cossack cavalry. Fighting the legions of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, are your red cavalry their opponents? ”

"Your Kyushu samurai is probably not very good. We just need to hold back the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. ”

The two Dongying lords talked in front of the battle, and they didn't have much hope of winning.

"We're backlit, and they're facing the sun, so we have the upper hand, and we're going to win this battle! Offensive! ”

With the Kshatriya ordering an attack, the 100,000-strong army of the anti-Eastern Han League crushed the Eastern Han camp!

10,000 light infantry and archers covered 100 war elephants as the main force of the Chinese army, and the light infantry held shields and spears and continued to advance.

The war elephants swayed their heavy bodies, and the ten war elephants at the front were even more heavily armored, with thick skin and thick flesh, like moving fortresses.

On the back of the elephant was tied a strong wooden tower, in which archers and spearmen sit, protected.

The pressure of hundreds of mobile fortresses is comparable to that of heavy cavalry charges, and in a sense, the sense of oppression brought by this three-meter-tall behemoth is even stronger.

With the help of war elephant troops, Kshatriya inflicted heavy losses on the unsuspecting Lianpo army.

This time, he repeated his old tricks, trying to tear apart the enemy line with war elephants and completely destroy the enemy line with heavy cavalry.

"Ordinary war elephants are afraid of rockets, but my army of war elephants has the Shivaji bonus, and they are not easy to go berserk, and they will run over your corpses."

Kshatriya could already anticipate the next scene of heavy casualties of the Han army.

With the hero Shivaji and his army of war elephants, in the Mughal of India, dozens of princely lords were conquered by him.

He was the first lord of the Mughal in India, and his army of war elephants was invincible in the Indus Plains!

Not only war elephants, but also two thousand heavy cavalry in iron armor in the rear, as long as the war elephants disturb the opponent's phalanx, the heavy cavalry will charge, and the light cavalry will expand the results, this battle, he will become the uncrowned king!

The combination of elephant soldiers and heavy cavalry put tremendous pressure on the Eastern Han camp.

There are not many legions that can block such a combination head-on.

This is also where Kshatriya's confidence lies.

"I understand why you've been besieged in this city for a month. The Mughal Empire had both war elephants and a large number of heavy cavalry and light cavalry. ”

Chutian understood the reason why Huma's Lianpo army had been severely defeated by Kshatriyas.

The lack of familiarity with war elephants was one aspect, but the other reason was that Kshatriya, as a Mughal lord of India with a population of tens of millions, had enough manpower and property to build heavy cavalry, as well as recruit a large number of elite light cavalry.

The plains were engaged, and war elephants and cavalry took advantage of it.

"Catherine, let's go to the Chinese army."

Chu Tian, who was watching the battle from a high place, suddenly asked Catherine to go to the Chinese army to suppress the formation.

"The war elephants and heavy cavalry units on the opposite side will soon be charging, and if you want to die, you can go yourself. I don't want to die with you. ”

"It's an order!"

“……”

Ekaterina was extremely reluctant and was taken to the Chinese army by Chutian's escort.

Zhao Long and Hu Ma were surprised that Chu Tian personally went into battle: "Chu Zimou, why do you want to sit in the Chinese army?" Aren't you afraid of being shot by stray arrows? ”

"It has to be a last resort, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat Shivaji's elephants."

Chutian had to take the risk, because the characteristics of "Heavenly Khan" and "Catherine the Great" were closer to the enemy army, the more obvious the effect.

Zhao Long and Hu Ma didn't know that Chu Tian planned to make full use of the effect of Tian Khan, and they thought that Chu Tian was going to personally sit in the Chinese army, take the lead, and inspire all the soldiers, and they couldn't help but admire.

Chutian and Catherine came to the vicinity of Le Yi, the chief general of the Chinese army, and they were still close to the front line.

Catherine said coldly: "You are really a madman. ”

"A lord like you, who often leads the Cossack cavalry to plunder, doesn't seem qualified to speak of me."

With Chutian and Catherine personally in charge of the Chinese army, the marching war elephants became even more uneasy.

The elephant soldiers and their war elephants are companions day and night, and at this time, they feel that the war elephant's mood is becoming more and more agitated, and they immediately calm the war elephant's emotions.

At the same time, the elephant soldiers immediately sent someone to report to the main general, Shivaji.

At this time, the war elephant troops were less than three hundred meters away from the Eastern Han camp.

War elephants are becoming more and more unstable.

On the other side are the Heavenly Khan and Catherine the Great!

"How can my war elephant troops be afraid of the enemy on the other side."

Shivaji was disturbed when he heard the report from the elephant soldiers in front of him.

In the Eastern Han camp, there are two special lords who have a suppressive effect on alien races.

But he hasn't wavered yet.

The three armies have been pressed, and the distance between the two forwards is less than 300 meters, and there is no way to retreat!

Once the bulky war elephants were ordered to retreat, it would only lead to the collapse of the entire army of 100,000 troops.

As long as the Eastern Han camp pursued and killed, the Kshatriyas would surely suffer heavy losses.

In Le Yi's Chinese army, hundreds of Arab camel cavalry led their camels to the front.

This herd of camels includes humps, which are more than 2 meters tall and more impactful than war horses.

Unfortunately, the combat performance of camels is inferior to that of war horses in most terrains, and they are more used for fighting in the desert and the Gobi or transporting goods.

"What does Chu Zimou think? He was going to use camel cavalry against war elephants? ”

"This is a decisive battle between two great civilizations, don't mess around."

Zhao Long and Hu Ma were surprised when they saw Chu Tian using camels to deal with war elephants, but they could only choose to trust Chu Tian.

"How could the camel cavalry of the Arab Empire be an opponent of my elephants? When the camels saw my war elephants, they would simply turn and flee. ”

"What a foolishness, the camel soldier cannot be an opponent of the elephant soldier."

The lords of the Mughal Empire noticed this camel army and did not care.

"Camel ...... Why camels? Could this be ...... Fire Bull Meter! ”

Goryeo lords such as Takeda Tadayi and Taira Yoshimori suddenly thought of Chutian's intentions and panicked.

They wanted to inform the war elephant troops, but it was too late!

A few hundred camels were just the victims of Chu Tian's defeat of the war elephant troops!

The hay tied to the camel's tail was set on fire, and the frightened camel rushed forward in panic!

Hundreds of mad camels outloud their horses, the pain of the flames overcoming their fear of their enemies!

The dust was billowing and the tall camels crashed into the mixed phalanx of infantry and war elephants on the opposite side!

The Mughal infantry at the front were terrified by the onslaught of the fire camels, and subconsciously retreated or avoided this livestock, which was taller than a war horse!

"It's useless, my war elephant troops are different from the elephant soldiers of other civilizations, and the war elephant troops with Shivaji's bonus will greatly reduce the probability of war elephants going berserk!"

Kshatriya was not unfamiliar with similar tactics, but his elephants were unusual and would not be easily shaken......

"The war elephants are out of control!"

"Impossible!"

Kshatriya suddenly witnessed that more than 100 of his war elephants were not controlled by the elephant soldiers, but were frantically trampling their own army!

The tall war elephants collapsed on their own in the face of the frightened flames and mad camels, and the huge elephant feet trampled on the surrounding Mughal soldiers, and hundreds of Mughal soldiers died from the trampling and collision of the war elephants!

Kshatriya's war elephants are a little special, but he misses one point - the monarchy traits of Chutian and Catherine can make war elephants fearful and increase the probability that war elephants will go berserk. Coupled with the onslaught of the fire camels, most of the war elephants lost control and destroyed their own phalanx.

"The Shooting Battalion is under the cover of heavy infantry and attacks forward!"

Le Yi gave the order to attack at the right time.

Li Guang rode a horse to supervise the archers of the archery battalion forward, and took advantage of the confusion of the enemy army to use a long-range longbow to throw at the phalanx of the Mughal Empire, aggravating the confusion of the opposing Chinese army.

The 10,000 infantry were trampled by war elephants and the rain of arrows from the shooting battalion at the same time, and were completely routed.

The Shooting Battalion was rewarded by Li Guang, Le Yi, and Chu Tian, and the locust-like stray arrows took the lives of the Mughal Empire's infantry.

The arrows on fire fell like a meteor shower, and the war elephants afraid of fire rushed in all directions!

Chu Tian looked at the chaotic war elephant and couldn't help but shake his head: "A high-level soldier like an elephant soldier is a double-edged sword. ”
