Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 564 Mughal's Wooden "Tank" Tactics (Please Subscribe!)

The generational difference between Ming and Mughal weapons is too great, and any strategy will be a cloud in the face of this equipment gap.

In the afternoon, the two sides began to engage in large-scale contact. The central army, the left wing, and the right wing were all approaching, and they were about to enter a decisive battle.

For the Mughals who had a superior force, their left wing still had a left wing, and they could continue to move forward and go around to the left wing of the Ming army to attack from both sides at the same time.

There is no better way for Daming to do this. It is impossible for them to stretch the battle line infinitely in order to avoid being flanked.

The thickness of the front is also very important.

Another point is that the Ming army is actually not very afraid of being flanked by two sides. Don't forget, they can arrange barbed wire.

Otherwise, they would not choose to fight the enemy on the plain.

There is no danger to defend on the plain, and the number of troops is more important.

Shaista Khan stood on a huge chariot and observed the Ming army with a telescope.

This chariot is four or five meters high and requires more than a dozen horses to pull it. It is extremely heavy and cumbersome, and it is simply a burden on the battlefield.

But there is no way, this huge chariot is a symbol of power and a tradition left over from the Indian battlefield.

On the tall chariot, Shaista Khan could see farther.

However, through a telescope, what can be seen is extremely limited.

The sound of cannons sounded, this is the Ming army launched an attack.

However, the active attack of the Ming army was different from that of the Mughal Empire.

The active attack of the Mughal Empire was an infantry charge, while the active attack of the Ming army was to use long-range firepower to force the opponent to charge at itself.

If the opponent doesn't charge, they can keep firing, consuming the enemy's vitality and morale.

If the enemy rushes over, it's in the right hands.

The artillerymen of the Ming army did not deliberately look for the location of Shaista Khan. His four-meter-high chariot looked very conspicuous, but it was insignificant when thrown into a crowd of 15 people.

Even with a telescope, it's hard to find.

The artillery of the Ming army only fired towards the places where the Mughal troops were densely populated, consuming the enemy's troops.

The bombs fell on the Mughal army, creating pits and killing countless Mughal soldiers.

The start of the Ming army's shelling also means the beginning of the decisive battle.

At the same time, Shaista Khan, who was observing from the luxury chariot, obviously found that several black spots in the sky were getting closer to his luxury chariot!
This is a hot air balloon of the Royal Air Force of Ming Dynasty.

Just because the artillerymen of the Ming Dynasty couldn’t see Shaista Khan’s chariot doesn’t mean the Air Force of the Ming Dynasty couldn’t see it.

They were going to bomb where Shaista Khan was.

I don't know whether it's God's blessing or the sixth sense, Shaista Khan has been sweating and his hairs stand on end since he saw those black spots.

In Tianzhu's warm weather, he shivered several times.

So blessed was his heart, and quietly left this luxurious chariot.

The Mughal side also accelerated the pace of advancement.

In the Chinese army, more than 200 special leather chariots were pushed by soldiers and rushed to the front.

These ultra-thick leather chariots are a bit impenetrable to bullets.

However, these more than 200 tanks could not block all the assault troops.

At the same time, their artillery also reached the predetermined position, ready to fire towards the Ming army.

Their every move fell into the eyes of the Ming army.

"Mortar, aim at the opponent's artillery and destroy those artillery." Qian Yan gave the order.

Before the start of the war, Qian Yan had done intelligence work, and knew that among the Mughal army, these artillery pieces were the biggest threat to one's own side.

Although these artillery were backward, they were not a small threat, and they were the priority targets of the Ming army to destroy.

However, since the task of rifled guns is mainly to destroy those tanks, the task of destroying these artillery is all undertaken by flexible mortars.

"shoot."

On the Mughal side, the first ammunition was fired.

The accuracy is very average, and the power is not good.

But the shells that fell into the Guards' positions killed five soldiers.

This is because the soldiers of the Guards are relatively scattered. If the formation of the cold weapon era is followed, at least 20 people will be killed or injured in this wave.

The biggest disadvantage of Mughal artillery is its slow firing rate.

After launching a wave just now, the next loading will take at least 3 minutes.

This launch speed is simply hopeless.

After they fired once, Da Ming's flowering shells began to fall into their artillery.

In the beginning, there were one or two sporadic shells, but in an emergency, a large number of shells poured into this area.

The soldiers who were loading gunpowder into the artillery were blown up immediately.

And those Mughal artillery that were hit by shells were also destroyed.

The Mughal officers on the side almost stared out their eyes when they saw this scene. This thing is their treasure of the army, and it was easily destroyed like this.

This kind of loss is really too heavy. If it weren't for the decisive battle at this time, the officer would have wanted to order the artillery troops to withdraw first.

These cannons are much more expensive than those Tianzhu cannon fodder, so they can't be used up like this.

However, now is the decisive battle, and the assault troops in front need these artillery to provide fire support.

Withdrawing rashly is tantamount to asking the charging soldiers to fight alone.

While he was struggling, Ming army shells continued to land in this area.

The rate of fire of the mortars of the Ming army is very fast, and well-trained soldiers can fire ten shots in one minute.

One by one Mughal artillery was destroyed, and it seemed that the artillery unit would almost be destroyed before the second launch.

The commanders of the Mughal artillery were suddenly at a loss. They could not find any way to defend or counter their opponents, so they could only stand and be beaten.

"The enemy has too many cannons, how do we fight this battle?"

The officers of the Mughal "Shenji Battalion" sighed, and after only fighting for a few minutes, he began to feel frustrated.

After all, it wasn't long before the Ming army almost destroyed the weapon they relied on the most.

The infantry who were still charging did not know that the artillery in the rear had been destroyed, and continued to charge forward.

They had already entered the firing range of the Ming army, and the Ming army's rifles rang out.

However, those thick tank shields blocked a large number of bullets, so that they would not be as miserable as the forward troops last time.

Except for those hit by rifled artillery, the others are basically alive.

"This thing is really something, and I don't know how thick the wood is."

On the side of the Guards, a small officer complained.

You must know that the rifle bullets of the Ming army are so powerful that they can easily penetrate even iron armor.

At this moment, the experienced Qian Yan realized something.

"Order to pay attention to vigilance. There are too many enemy tanks, and there will always be fish that slip through the net. The role of tanks may be greater than we imagined!"
