Chapter 198: The Decisive Battle
At the same time that Rao Jinchao's elite navy continued to wreak havoc in the major port cities on the west coast.
On the morning of the 19th, when the west wind was blowing, a fleet of ocean-going ships arrived at the port, carrying the dragon flag of the Empire.
Soon, one by one, the Imperial soldiers dressed in army uniforms disembarked, all of them were fully armed, their faces were resolute, and the words "soldiers of a hundred battles" were imprinted in their spirits.
Mu Jiansheng's radical colonization plan was finally recognized by Fu Qiu, and with an order, 3,000 elites went to the Mughals.
At this point, Mu Jiansheng's account had an extra three thousand elite army cavalry of the empire.
At the same time, many caravans arrived at the port behind the fleet.
After the great army, there will always be merchants.
This was the case when the empire developed the South Seas.
With reinforcements in hand, Rao Jinchao began to carry out his plan, first contacting the governor of Bengal, Shasta Khan, to persuade him to surrender, and promised to let him sit on the Mughal throne.
While persuading, send troops.
One dark and windy night, Shasta Khan's son made up his mind for him, tied up his father and opened the gates.
Bloodless to take Bengal.
Mu Jiansheng raised the banner in the name of Shasta Khan - Aurangzeb plotted against the usurpation of the throne, killed his brother and father, killed the faint king, and set up another monarch, they are the teachers of justice, just to set things right.
In this way, the war of aggression turned into a civil war, and their Great Zhou was just a reinforcement from one side.
The army attacked all the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo. In just ten days, they had taken a total of forty-three cities.
Many Mughal aristocrats also showed the style of wall grass to the fullest, and the ranks of the chaos continued to grow.
Mu Jiansheng's troops also reached 70,000.
3,000 elite imperial musketeers, 5,000 Indian cavalry, 20,000 foot soldiers, and more than 40,000 slave soldiers.
……
On the other hand, Aurangzeb's personal campaign was not so smooth, and his exploits were certainly amazing.
But under the strong character, various reform measures have long accumulated too much dissatisfaction under the rule.
In the past, under high pressure, these contradictions were never leaked, but at this time, there were external forces intervening, and all of them suddenly broke out.
There are many nobles who make stumbling blocks, and there are Rao Jinchao's navy interceptors outside.
From the transfer of personnel to the transportation of grain and grass, one trouble after another.
In this way, Aurangzeb persevered and led an army of more than 100,000 to the battlefield.
I have to say that this emperor has the demeanor of some Ming Dynasty kings.
Throughout his life, he adhered to one principle all his life: no compromise and no reconciliation.
is even more dedicated than the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the Son of Heaven is directly on the front line. Historically, this king led his army to fight in the Deccan for more than ten years, so much so that a new "military camp generation" was born among the Mughals, that is, a generation born and raised in the military camp.
Aurangzeb is like this, if he is replaced by a Chinese emperor: all foreign religions die, pay taxes and choose one of the two options, all the princes in the frontier will change their land and return to the stream, and they will fight with the barbarians on the front line in the south for more than ten years, never admit their cowardice, and marriage is even more impossible, it is simply the ideal emperor of the emperor and the Han Dynasty.
However, it is a pity that there is still an obvious gap between this emperor and the real Emperor of the Ages in terms of ability.
……
Mu Jiansheng stood on a high platform on the other side of the river, observing the situation of the enemy army with a clairvoyant mirror.
In front of them were rows of long shieldmen, chest-high, and very defensive after the formation.
Then there are javelins, spears, swords and shields, bows and arrows, and even a small number of musketeers, but the musketeers are all located in the middle army, and seem to be only used as odd soldiers and reserves.
The thousands of cavalry, the generals all wore full-body chain armor, and their helmets also had chain armor hanging down to protect their necks.
Day 2.
Several generals of the Mughal Empire took the lead, leading the cavalry charge and killing the Zhou people.
"Array!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Not yet aware that times had changed, they charged with cavalry at the musket array.
For a while, people turned on their backs, and several generals were directly shot and fell off their horses.
The rest of the nobles also changed their faces greatly, and took advantage of the gap in the rotation formation to accelerate and flee to the side in disguise, with only the remaining more than 1,000 horsemen following behind.
"Woo!
!
”
The trumpeter blows the horn to warn.
Mu Jiansheng gave an order, turned over his horse, led the charge, and three thousand horsemen rushed forward, and the rest of the Indian cavalry followed.
The herald waved his banner continuously, and the cavalrymen drew their loaded muskets.
Rushing outside the camp, the three thousand Great Zhou musketeers fired freely.
"Bang bang bang!"
Riding on horseback, he shot indiscriminately, completely blinding the opposing army.
The enemy melee pawns in the front row fell in an instant, and the survivors fled backwards in a hurry, looking for cover.
"Knock open the gates!"
About a dozen steps from the gate of the camp, one mortar after another began to fill with gunpowder, and the rest of the musketeers covered the fire.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Ten paces away, artillery fire volley, accurate hit, directly collapsed the gate of the camp.
Mu Jiansheng led the cavalry into the enemy's camp in an instant, and the Indian foot soldiers behind him hurriedly pressed down.
The formation of the place where the muskets were scattered had not yet been completed, and the cavalry charge was again broken and fled.
Don't look at the more than 100,000 troops in this battalion, but the distance between the military tents is limited, and they can only be assembled into many large and small units, and middle and low-level officers cannot effectively organize non-commissioned officers.
After Mu Jiansheng led his troops to disperse this force, he immediately rushed along the passage between the military tents and rushed towards the next enemy squad.
Far away, he shouted: "Raise your gun!" ”
Before entering the enemy camp, the cavalry fired as they charged, and did not care how much was left in their heads, and scattered the archers who were about to shoot.
"Kill!"
In the face of a severe lack of organization, the enemy soldiers were divided into dozens of groups and gathered in the vicinity to fight separately.
After crushing the first few enemies, Mu Jiansheng killed more easily.
Because as long as they follow the rout, the enemy will be their stormtrooper.
What's even more interesting is that the enemy troops who are too far away, because the military tent blocks the line of sight, can only hear all kinds of shouts and killings, and they don't know what is in front of them, and they don't know how many cavalry are coming.
Seeing the rout in front of them, the enemy soldiers who did not know the situation also followed and ran wildly.
His Majesty Aurangzeb, the brave Mughal Empire, also rushed forward with a troop of cavalry, shouting: "Don't retreat, kill me back!" ”
Bang bang bang!
Another round of head-to-head shooting, and Aurangzeb fell in response.
"Your Majesty is dead, Your Majesty is dead!"
Some shouted in terror, and then the whole line collapsed.
The battalion was slaughtered, and the fugitive soldiers rushed into the field, and they were so frightened that they ran towards the north, and were chased all the way by the buttocks, and scurried all over the ground.
The chaotic gunfire frightened countless enemy foot soldiers into jumping into the river one after another.
After a long time.
The surviving Indian aristocrats scrambled up from the river.
Prostrate in the direction of Mu Jiansheng's camp, and roared some unintelligible words in his mouth, nothing more than being willing to obey Da Zhou as a dog.
