Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 933 Royal Heavy Cavalry

Mughal coach Timothy couldn't help laughing when he saw the Ming army phalanx:

"Warriors of the Mughal Empire, look at the so-called invincible division of the Ming army. They have no long hair and no shield. What kind of phalanx is this?"

The commander of the Mughal royal heavy cavalry also showed disdain on his face:

"Marshal, they are imitating the Macedonian phalanx back then, and they are embarrassing if they don't even understand the concept of the phalanx..."

Mughal's chief general who was in charge of defending the city felt very heavy in his heart. He clasped his fists and said:
"Prime Minister and General, don't be careless. You can see that the Ming army's phalanx is very neat. Their musketeers stand in three rows in the formation. The two wings of the phalanx are protected by cavalry. Even the imperial war elephants did not break them..."

"Shut up, the main thing is to make others' ambitions disturb our army's morale. Although the impact of war elephants is fierce, the number is limited after all. How can they compare with my [-] royal heavy cavalry..."

Mughal's Huaxia had not yet fallen, and was immediately interrupted by Mughal Prime Minister Temuti.

Mo sighed secretly, bowed his head and said nothing, but he had a hunch in his heart that although the royal heavy cavalry was very fierce, it was many years ago, and it may not be able to match the Ming Dynasty's weapons now.

"Warriors, cut off the head of a Ming army to advance to a higher level, and the first and second teams of the Royal Heavy Cavalry will be killed by me!"

Tiemu gave an order, and two thousand-man squadrons of the Mughal Royal Heavy Cavalry marched out.

"kill"

"kill"

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and the royal heavy cavalry is also the division of the Mughals who established the country. They yelled and urged their horses to kill the Ming army's phalanx.

To be honest, the Mughal Royal Cavalry is really majestic. They all have three layers of leather armor, and bows and arrows can hardly hurt them.

The two thousand-man teams were also very aggressive in urging their horses to charge. Huang Degong felt that they should be no worse than the Eight Banners of the East.

On the wide field ahead, Mughal cavalry came roaring like a torrent.

The Ming army did not act immediately, but waited for the enemy's arrival.

Under the sun, the Mughal iron cavalry flowed with a cold luster, like a vast ocean, quickly approaching here.

Huang Degong drew out the sword at his waist to send an order:
"Rifle gun ready!"

"Yes"

The three rows of musketeers immediately aimed the rifled guns that had been loaded long ago at the rolling Mughal cavalry ahead.

At the same time, Zheng Chenggong behind him also issued an order:
"The artillery battalion is ready!"

"Ready"

"fire"

"Rumble..."

Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and the artillery of the Ming army immediately burst into intensive bombardment.

Cannonballs blasted towards the torrent of Mughal heavy cavalry at high speed.

In an instant, a hundred shells exploded in the rapid impact on the big Mughal cavalry, just like hitting the sea water, but what splashed was not waves of water, but waves of meat sauce and blood!
The terrible shells tore out groups of shocking blood mist in the torrent of Mughal cavalry.

Amid the wailing of the war horses, the cavalry were also blown to pieces.

Some cavalrymen who were not killed by the blast fell into the torrent of iron cavalry, and were immediately trampled into flesh by the iron hooves that surged up from behind.

The two rounds of bombardment caused almost half of the casualties of the two thousand-man squadrons of the Royal Heavy Cavalry, which the Ah Sans were proud of.

They have only seen iron cannons firing solid bullets, but this time they saw explosive shells.

Not only did the commander of the Mughal Royal Heavy Cavalry change his face dramatically, even the coach Temati was also confused.

"How is it possible? How did the Ming army have such powerful artillery and shells..."

The Mughal iron cavalry is worthy of being the heavy weapon of the Mughal kingdom. Although the shelling of the Ming army caused them heavy casualties, the remaining iron cavalry were still rushing and no one retreated.

Only Modi saw some tricks, and he hurriedly said to Temati:

"Prime Minister, quickly order the royal heavy cavalry to disperse the attack and not form a dense attack formation..."

Only then did the Mughal prime minister react, and hastily issued an order:

"Oh... quickly send an order to let the heavy cavalry disperse the attack, and go up to three thousand-man teams..."

"Da da da……"

When Temu gave an order, another three thousand people rushed up quickly. This time they did not charge intensively, but formed small groups to charge towards the Ming army phalanx.

Those Mughal soldiers who surrendered to Ming Dynasty all stared at the battlefield with wide-eyed eyes.

They all know that the Mughal royal heavy cavalry is powerful, and today they finally opened their eyes.

But they knew that Ming Dad was more powerful than those artillery pieces, and it was Ming Dad's firearms team that really killed the Mughal army at close range.

As long as you get close to the phalanx, whether you are spreading out or charging intensively, as long as you enter the range, you will be finished.

"Rumble..."

The Ming army fired another two rounds of bombardment. Although many Mughal royal heavy cavalry were killed, the effect was very small compared to the previous ones.

"The mortar cannon fires!"

Seeing that the Mughal royal heavy cavalry were getting closer and closer to the phalanx, Zheng Chenggong ordered the Chongzhen artillery to stop firing and instead used mortars to attack.

Mortars can be used in conjunction with rifled guns, which is also a tactic that Zheng Chenggong's Marine Corps is good at using.

It was really useful to see that the scattered iron cavalry charged, and soon Liu Chong was about 200 meters away from the Ming army's phalanx.

Seeing this scene, several generals of the Mughal Empire smiled.

They seemed to see the scene where the Ming army phalanx was instantly dispersed by the Mughal iron cavalry, and then arbitrarily hacked and killed by the imperial iron iron!
"Rumble..."

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very embarrassing. For a moment, the Ming army's mortars and rifled guns attacked the Mughal cavalry who were within range.

But once the heavy cavalry rushed up, they couldn't stop.

Even if they scattered their attacks, the Ming army's mortars, Daming guns and rifled guns still caused them huge casualties.

The iron armor was smashed together with the flesh and blood. In the crazy impact wave, it was submerged, torn to pieces, and finally wrapped in sticky flesh.

Even so, the Mughal heavy cavalry regiment was still rushing. They fully demonstrated the aura of the royal elite, and they were indeed stronger than any previous army!

However, it is a pity that bravery and invincibility have become a thing of the past. In the face of the hot weapons of the Ming army, bravery can only represent huge casualties.

There are more than a dozen phalanxes of the Ming army, and there are mortars and blunderbusses in the phalanxes, and they can move slowly during the battle.

Soon the Ming army phalanx separated the royal heavy cavalry that the Mughals were proud of rushing up.

Although the Mughal iron cavalry was cut off and the overall charge and combat effectiveness was attenuated, each of them is a battle-hardened soldier who has experienced many battles, and they have not been defeated.

They also have honor in their hearts. As the emperor's personal guard, they have their pride.

"kill!"

The Mughal Royal Heavy Cavalry Corps broke out with amazing fighting spirit.

Regardless of their companions who were beaten into sieves, they still shouted about desperately charging.

Soon, the remaining Mughal cavalry joined the charge.

The elites of the two empires collided head-on outside the city of Derry like two huge steel waves, launching a fierce charge and counterattack.

In the forest of swords, guns and swords and steel barriers, human flesh and blood are torn and twisted, and lives are killed and withered one by one.

The entire battlefield turned into a huge meat grinder!
Of course, in the head-to-head confrontation between the elites of the two countries, the Ming army clearly had a greater advantage, and soon a crushing situation emerged.

In just half an hour, the front part of the Mughal heavy cavalry was wiped out by the Ming army.

Even so, the Mughal Royal Cavalry Regiment did not collapse after losing thousands of people, but continued to charge forward.
