Chapter 1528 25 enemy troops

The Indian maharaja coalition forces removed some farmers and miscellaneous soldiers, and there were nearly 10 feudal soldiers. They were densely arranged on the plains, and the huge number made the scalp numb.

These feudal soldiers are small feudal lords or farmers who own land in various princely territories, and only a small number of elite knights have armor.

Both the First Prince and the Third Prince had an elite cavalry regiment, armed with spears, muskets or bows and arrows.

According to the backward tactics of the huge army, they made the depth very deep, and the deployment was only the same as the main force of less than 20000 people on the opposite side.

The expeditionary force of the East India Company only had 6000 people, but they were located in the middle of the army, forming a thin and long front. It seems that they only need to use cavalry to launch a frontal charge, and they can easily penetrate the 6000 infantry deployed in front.

There are at least tens of thousands of cavalry in the coalition of Indian princes!
"What a spectacular army. It is even bigger than the army when we fought against the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the Battle of Plassey!" Qin Zuoming could feel the size of the opponent's army even without binoculars .

At a glance, there are densely packed troops of the two princes and Indian maharajas, all over the mountains and plains.Except for the princes in too remote places, other princes and princes all led troops to join the battle.

These princes are intriguing with each other, but now they are more or less aware of the power of outsiders. Even the great emperor Shah Jahan died of illness in the battle with them. They must take action to respond to the attacks of outsiders.

25 people, even knowing that there are a large number of auxiliary soldiers and farmers, refugees and even prisoners without combat effectiveness, the visual shock it brings is breathtaking.In this era, 25 people is already the population size of a big city!

"They are known as a million-strong army. Even if nine-tenths of them are cut off, there are still [-] warriors, half of whom are cavalry. Can your weak infantry line stop their offensive?"

King Kasim of Bengal asked Qin Zuoming worriedly. No matter how you look at it, the infantry of 6000 is in the middle, and the two wings are a Bengali cavalry of 5000 each. The number seems to be insufficient.

"Don't worry, I guarantee that they will collapse at the first touch." Qin Zuoming was not worried at all.

The last time he fought against the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the village of Praxi, he had only 3500 men, and his firearms were not yet complete. They dared to confront Shah Jahan's 70000 troops head-on.

This time he has 6000 infantry in his hands, and Kasim's 10000 Bengali cavalry as flanks. They have obtained a large amount of firearms supplies from the mainland, which is completely worthwhile!

"Machine guns in place!"

The four machine gun groups let the horses lead the machine guns and deployed them in the gaps of the infantry line at the forefront, and there were two Gatling hand-cranked machine guns on the left and right wings.Boxes of bullets were unloaded from the carriage, and members of the machine gun team loaded the bullets into the steel chambers.

In the surrounding plain, 18 iron cast guns with huge firepower were also pushed to the front line, and the gunners were already in place.

At the forefront is an elite force of 2000 soldiers, divided into thin horizontal formations of three.Behind the horizontal team are four hollow phalanxes of 1000 people, which are distributed in a star chess.

This kind of deployment seems to have fewer people. From the opposite view, the Chinese army has only a handful of people, and it seems that it will be overwhelmed by the cavalry in an instant.

The 5000 Bengali cavalry on each side seem to be much larger than the 6000 infantry in the middle.

"The firearms brought from our homeland are enough for them to drink a pot. In my opinion, the coalition forces formed by the princes from all over the country are nothing more than chickens and dogs." Qin Zuoming said bluntly.

Kasim's complexion was a little ugly. He was also one of the princes of India. Could it be that the 10000 Bengali cavalry he brought were just native chickens and tile dogs?

Facing the seemingly few troops of the other side, the first prince Darashiko and the third prince Aurangzeb began to argue whose troops should take the lead to test the enemy's firepower.

Although the two faced the extremely powerful outsiders, the relationship between the two was still in dire straits, and they both wanted to preserve their strength as much as possible to win.There are other princes who have the same idea.

"You send [-] cavalry to attack the enemy's left flank, and the princes from all over the country send [-] cavalry to attack the enemy's right flank. I will send [-] cavalry to attack the enemy's central army. If one road wins quickly, I will immediately rush to help the other roads. Is this possible?" The real heir to the throne, he must bear the banner of fighting against the East India Company.

"Just do what you want!" Aurangzeb did not compete with the eldest prince for leadership, so he agreed.

Even if there is a cruel war of succession to the throne, the outsiders must be defeated. If the foreign troubles are not eliminated, they will all be executed!

The other princes saw that the third prince joined forces with the eldest prince calmly, so they also pieced together an elite team of 10000 cavalry.

It is said that there were 20 feudal cavalry in various parts of the Mughal Empire, and there were many horse farms. In this battle alone, the Indian maharaja coalition forces took out 3 cavalry, plus 1 Bengal cavalry, a total of 4 The decisive battle between 6000 cavalry and [-] infantry slowly began.

Aurangzeb got down from the heavy elephant, and he changed into a black horse. In addition, he was dressed in black armor, like a resolute commander of the cavalry, leading the cavalry in an assault.

The cavalry of the Deccan Legion he led was obviously better at fighting than the First Prince's Guards. The cavalry in the first few rows were well armored, and many of them were equipped with muskets.

His opponent was the 5000 Bengal cavalry on the opposite side.

The quality of the Bengal cavalry is far inferior to that of the cavalry fighting on the Deccan Plateau. Aurangzeb is [-]% confident that he can easily defeat the smaller Bengal cavalry, and then attack the opponent's infantry from the left!

It is obviously a very simple tactic with almost no possibility of failure. For some reason, Aurangzeb is more afraid of the small number of infantrymen of the East India Company. 6000 Bengal cavalry.

The [-] Mughal Imperial Guard cavalry under the Eldest Prince were also elite, and they were responsible for defending the imperial city on weekdays. However, the Eldest Prince did not go to battle in person, but sent the Chief of Guards to lead the cavalry to carry out an assault.

The [-] cavalry cobbled together by more than a dozen princes from all over the world were in charge of assaulting the right wing, but they were relatively less elite.

"Destroy the intruders! Defend the imperial city, the great Lord and Emperor Babur look down on us from the sky!" The eldest prince drew out the luxurious saber from his waist and pointed it forward!
"Everyone follow me!" The third prince also unsheathed his sword!

In this battle, they gathered the military strength of the main Indian states. If they still cannot defeat the outsiders, then their future situation will be worrying!
