Chapter 1176: Battle of the Pamirs!
"This oppressive feeling is seven points similar to that of Genghis Khan Temujin at the beginning......"
Li Mu was condescending, looking at the Indian infantry all over the mountains, and had a familiar feeling.
After Timur entered his peak, he exerted the ability of the "Whip of God" to enslave the servant army, weaken the defense of the servant army, strengthen the attack power of the servant army, and completely regarded the servant army as cannon fodder.
A cheap servant army, as long as it can consume the enemy's physical strength and morale, and create conditions for the lord's elite legion to defeat the enemy army, is considered worth the money!
Timur's first temptation was to use 200,000 cannon fodder!
Such a large-scale gesture can only be done by the populations of the two civilizations of ancient China and ancient India.
"Observing the battlefield will be handed over to you and Zhao Hao, if you don't go down in person, you always feel itchy hands."
Seeing that Timur had ordered his servants to attack, the veteran Lian Po planned to go to the front line to resist Timur's attack.
Lian Po's strength is not low, and he is still skilled in bows and horses when he is old, so he is more suitable for being on the front line than Li Mu.
"Be careful."
Li Mu knew that someone needed to be on the front line, pay attention to the changes in Shuai Qi, and adjust the deployment of the front line in time.
Lian Po personally commanded the frontline, and Li Mu coordinated the overall situation.
This is the second time that the two men have cooperated with each other after more than ten years, and the enemy is the founder of an empire and one of the most difficult enemies in Central Asia.
The sound of a trumpet echoed on the western side of the Pamirs, and a massive battle broke out here!
On one side is Zhao Shuangbi Li Mu and Lian Po, plus Zhao Hao, Zhao Kuo father and son, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Yinshu can be combined (main general and deputy general), as well as the generals of the Tubo army, with a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the other side is the founder of the Timurid Empire, plus hundreds of Indian generals, with millions of soldiers.
Even though they knew that there was a difference of several times in numbers, Li Mu and Lian Po still had to do their best to buy time for Chu Tian to defeat the Golden Family's Wokotai.
Once Timur achieves his strategic goals, the situation of the Xia army entering the Hanzhong region will be quite dangerous!
200,000 low-ranking caste infantry, led by hundreds of generals, stormed the earthen fortresses of Li Mu and Lian Po!
The huge war elephants were mixed in with the large number of infantry, and their terrifying strength was enough to level the makeshift earthen ramparts.
Rumble!
The thick limbs of the war elephant trampled on them, and the ground trembled!
Hundreds of war elephants are dispatched!
The ancient Indian general Shivaji sits on an iron-clad war elephant studded with gold trim, providing a bonus to the entire army of war elephants!
Shivaji, the founder of the Maratha League on the Deccan Plateau in the Indian Peninsula (late Ming and early Qing Dynasty), rebelled against the powerful Mughal Empire in India, and was an enemy of the emperor, and was a military general of the three lines of light cavalry, elephant soldiers, and sailors.
Shivaji has a high bonus to war elephants, and the war elephant army he commands is far less afraid of fire than other war elephant legions.
In the Third National War, Chutian once faced the lord of the Mughal Empire in India, Kshatriya, and Shivaji was a general under Kshatriya at that time.
Chutian used his SSS-level trait "Heavenly Khan" and Catherina's SSS-level trait "Catherine the Great", the two monarch traits to put pressure on the War Elephant Legion, causing the War Elephant Legion to fall into unrest, and then impacting Shivaji's War Elephant Legion with fire camels, which eventually led to the collapse of Shivaji's War Elephant Legion.
Ordinary fire attacks have not yet been so easy to crack the war elephant legion commanded by Shivaji.
"More than ten years ago, I was defeated by the Han Empire, this time, the two armies encountered, and I was defenseless, how to crack my war elephant army? Moreover, we only have the king trait on our side, but not on the other side. ”
Shivaji was deeply ashamed of his defeat to Chutian and Catherine, and now he finally found a chance to take revenge.
Shivaji also knew the reason for his failure in the first place.
In this battle, Li Mu and Lian Po's legions should not have specially prepared measures to crack the war elephant legions, and in addition, Chutian and Catherine were not here, and one by one with the characteristics of a king was Timur who was lying on his back.
A large war elephant haunted the phalanx of 10,000 people of the Indian legion, and the archers and pikemen on the back of the elephants looked ahead, and they could see the Xia soldiers and horses in the distance.
Because the two sides have invested too many troops, so that as far as the eye can see, all of them are their own soldiers and horses, and there is no end in sight.
Zhao Hao's son, Zhao Kuo commanded in front, holding a strong bow in his hand, and shot an arrow outward, and the arrow was inserted into the ground outside the earthen fortress, which was "the distance of one arrow".
When the Indian legions cross a stone's throw away, the archers can fire thousands of arrows to harvest the enemy!
The 200,000-strong army of Li Mu and Lian Po set up a formation behind the earthen fortress, and set up wooden fences and antlers to defend with all their might.
"Up!"
The Mongolian generals and Turkic generals who supervised the battle drew their swords and pointed at the defense line of Li Mu and Lian Po!
"Kill!"
200,000 Indian foot soldiers and war elephants, speed up the pace and launch a charge!
Many Indian foot soldiers, even only equipped with bronze and silver weapons, wooden shields or leather shields, their defense is not high, only beyond the range covered by the rain of arrows, melee hand-to-hand combat, there is a glimmer of life!
"Shoot the arrows!"
Zhao Kuo drew his sword and pointed at the endless Indian Mughal army!
Tens of thousands of longbowmen bent their bows and arrows and threw them at the Mughal army in India!
The longbowman on the left shoots at the right, and the longbowman on the right shoots to the left, forming a crossfire!
Tens of thousands of arrows fell!
Two arrows hit a low-ranking infantry almost simultaneously, and one of the arrows pierced the wooden shield, pinning the wooden shield and the shield-wielding hand together!
Before the low-ranking infantry could scream, a second arrow pierced his throat and sealed it!
The low-level Indian light infantry suffered heavy casualties under the blow of the rain of arrows, and rushed to the front completely relying on the tactics of the sea of people!
Or, consuming the well-made arrows of the Xia army, so that Li Mu and Lian Po's army fell into the dilemma of lacking arrows, it is also the mission of cannon fodder.
The ironclad war elephants were mixed with 200,000 cannon fodder, moving slowly towards the earthen fortress of the Xia army, like a steel fortress on a cold-weapon battlefield, with a suffocating sense of oppression.
The Ironclad War Elephant, as a natural ninth-order soldier in "Lord", has thick skin and thick flesh, and ordinary arrows can't even cause effective damage to it.
Although the movement speed of the war elephant was not fast, it shocked Li Mu and Lian Po's Xia Jun uneasily.
The basic panel of the war elephant is too high, and it is one of the few classes that dares to face the fierce generals head-on.
"It seems that the Indians have used war elephants as siege weapons."
Li Mu always commanded from a high place, saw the huge war elephants moving, and knew the purpose of Timur's war elephant army.
Perhaps the war elephant is of little use when attacking a wall more than ten meters high, but when attacking a low earthen rampart or a low wall, the war elephant is a natural siege weapon, enough to destroy the rudimentary earthen ramparts!
"Fire Arrow, exorcise the war elephants!"
Lian Po reached the front and tried to frighten off the war elephants that were approaching the earthen ramparts with fire arrows.
Thousands of archers began to equip them with fire bolts.
"It's useless, my war elephant legion, there are fewer weaknesses!"
Shivaji, the Indian general, saw thousands of fire arrows fall, but his army of war elephants was already familiar with the battlefield and did not move easily.
On the other side, Timur organized an army of 100,000 Indians to attack the Tibetan army entrenched in the mountains on the west side of the Pamirs!
The Tibetan army held the main road, smashed down with rolling stones and rolling logs, and the Indian soldiers and horses who attacked the Tibetan army suffered many casualties.
The Tubo army and the Monan army all used the terrain as much as possible to consume Timur and wait for the opportunity.
The Tibetan army is on the plateau, like a tiger with wings, and does not leave this place easily.
As long as they held the nearby mountains and echoed Li Mu and Lian Po, Timur would not dare to attack one of them with all his might.
"This sense of oppression should be the monarchical characteristic of Timur."
Tashi of the Tibetan army was no stranger to the monarch's characteristics, because Chutian also had the monarchical characteristics "Tian Khan" and "Han Wu", and there was a sense of oppression, and the sense of oppression of the monarch's characteristics he felt on the battlefield should come from Timur.
"Wait for the time to come, and then the tiger will come down the mountain."
Timur wanted to lure the Tibetan army out of the mountains, but the Tibetan army would not leave.
No one knew better than the Tibetan army itself that they were located on the plateau terrain and still had a chance to win.
"Which army of the Great Xia Dynasty is this?"
An ancient Indian military general who attacked the Tubo army, dodged the falling rocks, and found that the soldiers and horses of the Xia army stationed in the mountains were very good at using the terrain, and he had a big headache.
"Increase the number of troops to 200,000, 300,000 until you take it!"
Timur added troops again, and was bound to take down 100,000 Tibetan troops.
During the large-scale attack on the Tibetan army, Shivaji's war elephant army had approached the Xia army's defense line, and Lian Po had already seen the huge body of this giant beast.
"War Elephant...... Sometimes it's a real headache......"
Lian Po had a headache.
