Chapter 1030 Lead the head and control the tail and hit seven inches straight
On the battlefield elephant, Aurangzebu looked up at his subordinates and saw the Zhou cavalry waiting in front of him.
I saw the other party, a golden armored general under the banner of Daqi, and he stopped his horse and stood up.
Behind the general, the cavalry was riding on the war horses, and the team was silent, with only the sound of the wind roaring the flag, and the horse's hooves swaying the ground and sniffing.
In front of the cavalry, there was a row of bronze artillery, with high muzzles aimed at the Mughal army that was rushing.
Aurangzeb was shocked. He was a little knowledgeable about fighting in the south and north. The army in front of him was just standing still, but the momentum it exuded was far more elite than the army of Indian states, and even more elite than the Persian cavalry of the Sassanian dynasty.
However, after all, Olanzebu had 200,000 people. He looked at his war elephant and a large number of Mughal cavalry. He immediately felt confident and sneered and asked the army to set up a formation, ready to deal with the Zhou army opposite.
The 200,000 Mughal army, the infantry and cavalry were a little confused, and they all took their positions in a hurry. While they were on the way, the Zhou army artillery array on the other side suddenly roared, and the cannon suddenly retreated, and a ball of white smoke rose up. More than 20 shells cut through the sky, roared and smashed, and shot directly into the Mughal array.
The shells landed in front of the formation, splashing a ball of sand and soil, then jumped up and hit a soldier. The head exploded and his brain splashed everywhere.
A cannonball hit the war elephant. The huge war elephant fell to the ground with a wailing sound, causing panic among the soldiers around him.
The Mughal Empire also had artillery and muskets, but compared with the Zhou army, their artillery and muskets were relatively behind.
The Mughal artillery was similar to the early Ming Dynasty artillery, relatively bulky, mainly used to attack cities and was in the back of the army, while the muskets were about the same level as the Ottomans, mainly costro guns, and the number was rare.
Although the war elephant has been trained, this kind of behemoth is actually both kind and timid.
The Zhou army's shelling caused a stir in the Mughal formation. The battle elephant sitting down, which shook his body uneasy, made Aurangzebu furious: "Damn it, you actually dare to attack first! The battle elephant attacks and destroys them!"
Zhou's army launched artillery to provoke, and Aolangzebu was angry. He didn't care that the 200,000 troops had not yet formed a formation, so he issued a counterattack order.
The other side had only more than 10,000 people and a 200,000 Mughal army, and it was impossible to lose no matter how they fought. Aurangzeb issued an order decisively without anyone's consultation!
After the military order, the sound of the horn suddenly rose! The Mughal's war elephant slowly opened.
At the beginning, Aolangzebu used his killer move, trying to use the battle elephant to directly defeat the Zhou army.
Hundreds of war elephants gradually raised their speed to the sound of the horns, and a large number of spearmen and scimitar infantry followed the war elephants and launched a charge.
It can be seen that Mughal's tactic is very simple, which is to fight elephants to defeat the Zhou army, and then spearmen and scimitar soldiers follow up to harvest Zhou army soldiers.
At this time, the war elephant on his face was shaking and rushing, but the Zhou army was not afraid at all. The artillery in front of the formation was still roaring, and the shells fell into the enemy group, splashing sand and water columns. The cavalry remained stationary and stared at the speeding team of statues, without fear.
Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang competed for Sichuan, and they went back and forth in Sichuan for several years. At first, they suffered a great loss when facing the Western Army's war elephant. Later, they found that this war elephant could actually be fooled, and its effect was far less than that of the cavalry.
At this time, the battle elephants collapsed among the splashing water columns, and were about to rush towards the Zhou army, but the Zhou army still did not move.
Aurangzebu rode on the war elephant and couldn't help but frown. Did the enemy not know the horror of the war elephant? Just as he was confused, he suddenly exclaimed behind him, "There are enemies in the south!"
Aolangzebu turned his head and looked south. He saw yellow sand in the sand. A cavalry rushed out of the desert and rushed directly to the tail of the Mughal army from the side.
The 200,000 Mughal army was in the formation, with a heavy front and a light back. It was called the front power in military terms, like a long snake.
This kind of marching formation is not too easy for the Zhou army, which has been through a long battle. The most common way to fight is to pinch the head and tail and hit the target seven inches straight.
At this time, the main battle elephant of the army had just jumped over the Sartrej River and the three thousand Zhou army cavalry rushed out of the Desert and attacked its tail.
The Zhou army general Xia Guozheng hit the buttocks of the war horse. The war horse was in pain and ran away with a long time, and shot out like lightning, "Kill!"
Three thousand iron cavalry followed closely behind and issued an angry cry, directly attacking the army of low castes at the tail, which had not yet completed the assembly.
The upper class of the Mughal Empire was the Turkic Mongols, the middle class was the high caste, and the lower class was the low caste and the untouchables.
The relatively elite Mughal army was in the front and center, with more than 100,000 people behind, although there were many, but they mainly transported baggage and supplemented auxiliary soldiers. Most of them had no armor or muskets, and they were holding primitive cold weapons, and they were black and thin, and had no combat power.
Seeing the Zhou cavalry suddenly appearing in front of him like a sea of scattered seas, the Mughal soldiers behind him immediately panicked and shot at the cavalry with bows and arrows, but how could the arrows block the impact of the elite breastplate cavalry? The Zhou cavalry was like a giant hammer and directly smashed into Mughal's rear formation!
The Zhou cavalry rushed over and broke into the formation with a force of tremendous force. The speeding horses, with huge weight, kept hitting the Mughal soldiers. The cavalry sprinted with spears and swords, flew up and down, and were invincible. They instantly killed the enemy formation, and then detoured again, crashed into the enemy formation again and massacred.
Seeing this, Aurangzebu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He was about to dispatch troops to reinforce him, and another scream beside him, "The enemy has moved in front!"
Aurangzeb hurriedly looked up and saw that the Zhou army, who was about to be attacked by the war elephant, suddenly took action.
"The dragon cavalry and the artillery team avoid the front and restrain the left and right, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry will surround me!" Wu Sangui issued the order decisively!
The Zhou army's artillery was dragged by war horses and quickly moved to both sides. The cavalry immediately divided into four strands and two-in-one cavalry, making way out of the front, following the artillery team, retreating to the northwest and southwest corners of the battlefield, then turned over and dismounted, and formed a musket line.
Each of these two teams has only about two thousand people, which restrains the Mughal army crossing the river. The other two teams of cavalry, each with three thousand elite cavalry, slowly drove out under the leadership of Wu Sangui and Hu Guozhu, and raised their full speed to gain the speed of the cavalry. They bypassed the elephant team on the front and rushed directly to the Mughal main formation.
At this time, the Mughal army, the vanguard crossed the river but could not be taken back. The tail was disturbed by the three thousand Zhou cavalry. Aurangzeb looked at him. Two Zhou cavalry, one left and one right, rushed across the Satledge River and instantly changed color.
Zhou Jun's operation of taking the lead in siege and attacking the middle section caused Aurangzeb and the Mughal army to panic.
"Hurry up, come in line to meet the enemy!" Aurangzebu roared hurriedly.
The troops around him were rushing to line up, but the Indian army also had another characteristic, that is, the country was constantly invaded, resulting in extremely complex ethnic and ethnic components, which can be called a Ethnic Museum.
The complexity of race and ethnic group and the long-term division has led to another problem, which is that language and writing are not in line.
China wrote books and carriages and tracks in the Qin Dynasty, while India still had more than ten languages even hundreds of years later.
This is extremely fatal in the army, resulting in very few commands.
Seeing Zhou cavalry rolling in, and the troops around him were still in a panic. Once the enemy cavalry broke into, his life would be threatened. So Aurangzebu hurriedly frightened and called, "The Mughal cavalry attacked!"
After a military order, nearly 10,000 Mughal cavalry shot out like lightning and attacked in two directions.
"Break them down!" Wu Sangui raised his gun and yelled in the Mercedes-Benz.
Chapter completed!
