Chapter 255: Killing the Mughal Lord
A lord from the Mughal Empire in India is wandering the plains with an army of 10,000, and his goal is the city that has been captured by Chutian.
This lord of the Mughal Empire has not yet realized that this city, which was defended by NPC defenders, has been captured by Chutian, and is now defending the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
He still marched towards the city.
Chu Tian thought of a good idea to deal with the lords of the Mughal Empire.
He ordered the battle to be cleared of yesterday's battlefield, removing the dragon banner symbolizing the Eastern Han Dynasty, disguised as a weak NPC defender, and waiting for the lords of the Mughal Empire to attack.
The average level of the NPC army on the battlefield of the national war is only 30, which is not enough to see in front of the big lord, so many lords will choose to storm the city.
"It's kind of called waiting for the rabbit."
Chu Tian sat at the head of the city, waiting unhurriedly for the lord of the Mughal Empire to come and attack.
Chutian also realized that Goryeo and Dongying were not necessarily powerful enemies of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The biggest enemy of the Eastern Han Dynasty may be the Indian Ah San, who have a large population, not inferior to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and have hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn.
If they could defeat Ah San's sharpness in the national war, they would not dare to be so arrogant and jump up and down.
"The lord's trick is too ruthless."
Fang Xuanling learned that Chu Tian had brought a chair and sat leisurely at the head of the city waiting for Indian Ah San to send his head, and he couldn't help but think that Chu Tian's tactics were insidious.
Just imagine, the lord of the Mughal Empire, who originally thought that the city would be easy to break, suddenly hit the iron wall formed by the Chutian army, that sense of despair......
Xue Rengui informed: "My lord, the army of the Mughal Empire has arrived under the city!" ”
Chu Tian looked down at the dense enemy army below.
The 10,000-strong Mughal legion was arrayed under the city, the most elite of which were Rajput cavalry and a group of infantry and archers, many of whom wore turbans around their heads.
Admittedly, this is a lord of the Mughal Empire who is not weak.
However, Chu Tian judged that he was not the most powerful lord of the Mughal Empire.
"Why didn't the elephants of the Mughal Empire show up?"
Chu Tian regretted that he did not see the elephant soldiers, but the elephant soldiers did not play any role in the siege war.
The lords of the Mughal Empire were in a strong formation, apparently confident in their military prowess and wanted to take the city in one fell swoop.
The lord's judgment is correct, provided that the defenders of the city have not changed.
However......
The soldiers defending the city have been replaced by the Shooting Battalion. The longbowmen of the Sound Battalion were prepared with a large number of arrows.
The Shooting Battalion gets a lot of bonuses, Li Guang's SS-level trait Flying General, crossbow damage +15%, and alien damage +10%; Le Yi's aura of the whole army is all five kingdoms, and the attack power is +10%; Chu Tian's whole army aura Han army soul, all attributes +3%.
The Shooting Battalion also has the "Han Soul" trait, which deals +10% damage to aliens.
As a result, the Shooting Battalion's attack is +13% and the damage of crossbows against aliens is increased by 35%, which is extremely impressive.
When the alien army encounters the shooting battalion of the fifth school of the Northern Army, plus the bonuses of a series of famous generals, it will face the baptism of arrows.
It is estimated that the English longbowmen with the addition of the black prince Edward will be willing to fall in front of the archery battalion of Li Guang, Le Yi, and Chutian.
As a flying general, Li Guang finally gave full play to his abilities during the national war!
"Li Guang's foreign war is really strong, compared with the civil war, like two different heroes, he is worthy of being a flying general who makes the Huns dare not take the border. Even Li Guang's foreign war is so fierce, so how powerful should Wei Qing and Huo Qubing be? ”
Chu Tian knew that Zhou Yafu and Li Guang were not the top generals in the Han Dynasty.
The top group of generals should be Han Xin, Wei Qing, and Huo Quai.
The current Li Guang was already very powerful, so much so that Chu Tian could ignore Li Guang's negative characteristics.
As long as Li Guang fought by Chu Tian's side, his bad luck would not be so bad.
And the halo of the whole army is even more good.
Le Yi is already a core general for Chu Tian.
"Lord of the Mughal Empire in India, let me see your strength."
Chutian had limited knowledge of the power of the Mughal Empire, a large empire founded by Turkic Mongols in India.
"For some reason, I feel a little uneasy......"
The lord of the Mughal Empire and his army were more or less suppressed by the "Heavenly Khan" characteristic, and their combat effectiveness and morale were affected.
Despite this, after the artisans created the ladder, the lords of the Mughal Empire chose to attack the city, and the infantry armed with scimitars, battle axes, swords, and round shields carried the ladder in an attempt to capture the seemingly easy city to capture.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The archers of the battalion archers on the city walls fired arrows, and a dense rain of arrows burst out of the air and shot at the Mughal army that stormed the city walls!
One after another, the Mughal soldiers fell on the way, and unless they were heavily armored soldiers, they were shot by the Zhemu compound bow of the shooting battalion, and they died!
Round after round of arrows poured down, the Mughal infantry and archers suffered heavy casualties, and in less than ten minutes, hundreds of people were killed!
The Mughal soldiers braved heavy losses to storm the city, and some of them dodged the rain of arrows, holding scimitars and round shields, and climbing ladders.
The Goryeo troops who surrendered to Chutian acted as auxiliaries and smashed the Mughal soldiers down with stones.
Finally, the Mughal soldiers landed in the city, and a Fang Tian painting halberd swept over, directly sweeping the Mughal soldiers down!
The Mughal soldiers were horrified to find themselves falling from the six-metre-high wall and falling into the flesh!
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun specially killed the Mughal soldiers who landed on the city wall.
Hua Xiong was carrying a big knife, one knife was enough to cut off a Mughal infantryman, and the scene was very shocking!
The narrow terrain of the walls allowed them to exert their force, and the few Mughal soldiers were unable to break through at all.
Li Xiuning led a team of women's troops to follow Chu Tian as a guard.
The two sides fought for about half an hour, and the besieging side suffered thousands of casualties!
"Order Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to command the cavalry in the city and prepare to hunt down the Mughal lords. Next, the city wall was defended by Li Xiuning and Hua Xiong. ”
Chu Tian estimated that the time was about the same.
"Yes."
Li Xiuning, as Li Shimin's sister, is also a fierce person.
She was armed with two Tang knives, one to block the weapons of the Mughal soldiers, and the other to take the opportunity to stab the enemy in the abdomen!
Kill the enemy without mercy!
To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself!
The mentality of the Mughal lords under the city had collapsed and ordered a retreat.
He brought 10,000 men into battle, but in half an hour he lost a tenth of his troops, but the city showed no signs of wavering.
If he continued to fight, it is estimated that in half a day, his army of 10,000 will be wiped out.
Just as the Mughal Empire army retreated, the city gate opened, and Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun, who were ready to attack, rushed out and slaughtered into the Mughal Empire army!
The Mughal army was shaken because of the attack on the city, and the morale of the army was shaken, and with the three cavalry generals killed, the army completely collapsed and was attacked by Mulan, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun!
Mulan's sharp Tang knife in her right hand was raised high, and the Mughal soldiers who turned around and fled were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Xue Rengui's Tang Dynasty archers fought with India's Rajput cavalry, under the leadership of Xue Rengui, the Tang Dynasty archers were devastated, and Xue Rengui took the lead and won the three armies!
None of the oncoming Rajput cavalry was Xue Rengui's opponent, and Fang Tian drew a halberd to kill him!
A Mughal rider came to challenge, but was drunk by Xue Rengui and picked under the horse!
The Mughal legions were terrified, and the Rajput cavalry broke down in morale and turned to flee.
Xue Rengui pursued and killed in the rear, rushed left and right, and killed 100 people in one battle!
The only thing that can stop him from killing enemies is the upper limit of his and the horse's physical strength!
When the lord of the Mughal Empire saw that there was a white-robed young general chasing after him, his soul was scattered, and he abandoned the army and fled!
Mulan's light cavalry was faster than Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's cavalry.
When Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were head-on to attack the Mughal Empire's army, which was shaken by their hearts, Hua Mulan used the mobility of the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry to carry out a roundabout attack!
If you look at it from the air, it is obvious that Mulan's cavalry has made a detour back to the rear of the Mughal army from the flank, just in time to meet the Mughal lord and his Rajput cavalry!
Although Mulan's Iron Eagle Scout is often used for reconnaissance, it is a sixth-order light cavalry, and it is not inferior to ordinary light cavalry when it comes to head-to-head confrontation!
Mulan itself has a 25% attack and defense bonus, plus Chu Tian and Le Yi's aura of the whole army, the Iron Eagle Scout can have an additional 38% attack bonus and 28% defense bonus, making up for its lack of combat effectiveness as a scout cavalry!
The Iron Eagle Scouts easily cut through the demoralized Rajput cavalry!
The Rajput cavalry was not weak in combat effectiveness, but they encountered even more powerful eastern cavalry!
Mulan caught a glimpse of the other party's lion military banner and knew that the military flag might be the other party's big man, so she broke through all the way and killed directly at the lion military flag!
The Rajput cavalry along the way all died under the Tang knives of Mulan and her cavalry, and Mulan was like no one!
"No!"
The lord of the Mughal Empire saw that dozens of cavalrymen on black horses had broken through to him, and his face was distorted with horror.
Mulan's Tang knife stabbed forward, and the sharp Tang knife pierced the armor of the lord of the Mughal Empire!
"This armor cost 100 taels of gold......"
The lord of the Mughal Empire found that his chain mail was useless in front of Mulan's Tang sword, because it was a king-level military general who stabbed him to death!
Mulan's Tang knife was also stuck, but she had two Tang knives around her waist, so she immediately pulled out the second Tang knife and continued to kill the enemy!
The lord of the Mughal Empire fell from his horse and died without looking away.
He just wanted to conquer the first city, and this national war was too difficult......
The opposing lord was killed by Mulan, the Mughal Empire's army completely collapsed, the Chutian army captured more than 3,000 people, and the rest of the Mughal soldiers fled in all directions.
Chu Tian once again came forward to persuade more than 3,000 Mughal Empire soldiers to surrender.
After the death of the lord, it was easier for Chutian, as the Heavenly Khan, to subdue the aliens, and all the more than 3,000 Mughal soldiers surrendered and became the servant army of the Chutian Legion.
Fang Xuanling made a detailed inventory: "At present, a total of 1,026 Goryeo troops and 3,425 Mughal troops have surrendered. Among them, the fifth-order light cavalry Rajput cavalry had a total of 1,121 people. ”
Unconsciously, the size of Chu Tian's servant army reached four thousand.
It is still a little far from Chu Tian's goal.
Chutian planned to capture tens of thousands of servants and return to the Eastern Han District to serve as cannon fodder and attack Cao Cao.
As long as the servant army was forbidden to multiply in the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were constantly used as cannon fodder until they died in battle.
This is the fate of the servant army.
The Goguryeo heavy cavalry has been used up to now, and almost all of them have been consumed.
"How do I feel that capturing prisoners is more efficient than recruiting directly......"
Chu Tian pondered, at this rate, maybe in two months, he could piece together the Eight-Nation Alliance and sweep through the nearby area.
After this battle, Chutian reached a total of 781 points, ranking fifth in the world.
The lord who was in front of Chu Tian estimated that he had experienced an even more tragic battle.
Chu Tian inflicted heavy losses on a lord of the Goryeo Kingdom and annihilated a lord of the Mughal Empire, only to rank fifth.
However, if you compare the battle loss ratio, Chu Tian's losses are smaller than those of the previous leaders, and he still has 4,000 servant troops, and the more he fights, the more troops he fights......
Hua Mulan used the straight blade of the Tang knife to assassinate the lord of the Mughal Empire, and the other lords of the Mughal Empire couldn't help but be shocked when they all knew that a lord of their own civilization had been killed!
They could see a great lord with a population of two million in their own civilization disappear from the rankings, and his territory will also fall apart!
Like Chu Tian, many great lords lack legitimate heirs, and once they die, their territory will be divided by their subordinates or surrounding enemies!
Fang Xuanling's worries are not unreasonable.
A big force can only be considered reliable if it has an heir. Otherwise, if the lord is out on a war and an accident occurs, then the great power will collapse immediately.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling would rather risk being punished and solve this problem.
Kshatriya, the largest lord of the Mughal Empire, also found a great lord killed: "Who killed our Indian Mughal lord?" If I were to meet him, I would trample him into a pulp and avenge it. ”
The Kshatriyas had joined up with another Mughal lord, and the hulking war elephants destroyed the Arab camel cavalry on the opposite side.
"Lord Kshatriya, an army of the Eastern Han Dynasty has been found ahead!"
"Wait until we destroy the lord of the Arab Empire, and then go and meet him."
When Chutian was in the national war, Xia Liang led people to the prison in Xiapicheng to see the imprisoned minister Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao is one of the best ministers in Eastern Wu, equivalent to Xun Yu to Cao Wei and Zhuge Liang to Shu Han.
Xia Liang personally recruited Zhang Zhao for Chutian: "I have heard that Mr. Zibu is a great talent, if you are buried in prison, it will be a pity, it is better to be loyal to Lord Xuzhou." The Lord went to crusade against the aliens, and when he returned, he could also do it for him. ”
Zhang Zhao didn't have much affection for the Chutian forces that captured Pengcheng: "Lord Xuzhou Mu didn't come in person, but sent a female streamer, don't you look down on Zhang Zibu?" ”
"Zibu, she's not an ordinary woman......"
Zhao Yu from Langya and Wang Lang from the East China Sea followed him to the prison, where they were coerced by Xia Liang to persuade Zhang Zhao to surrender.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, many families had dealings, and Zhao Yu and Wang Lang were friends of Zhang Zhao.
Xia Liang smiled slightly, but it made Zhang Zhao sweat: "I believe that Mr. Zibu will be happy to serve Lord Xuzhou, isn't it?" ”
