Daming Military Empire

Chapter 401 Defeated and Surrendered
The thunderous sound of horseshoes was like a war drum, and all the soldiers on both sides were excited. The cavalry hadn't collided with each other, but the infantry began to have intimate contact.

This contact is not between soldiers and soldiers, but between shells and shields. The artillerymen of the Ming army are basically veterans who have been practicing for nearly ten years. It is a skill to operate artillery. Loading gunpowder, loading shells, and igniting the fire all in one go, without any pause in between.

As soon as the cavalry on the left and right wings rushed out, there was a roar of artillery in the middle, "Boom boom boom", this time it was not more than 200 artillery pieces, but nearly [-] artillery pieces fired at the same time. hoofbeats.

Dala Shike's face changed when he saw the shells raining down. The Ming army was too cunning. The first round of firing only used nearly [-]% of the artillery, which caused him to misjudge the number of artillery.

In his opinion, the artillery ranges are the same, because the Dutch sold them only one type of artillery, and the Persian artillery also only had one type of range. How could he have imagined that there were many types of Ming Dynasty artillery? The first round of trial When firing, the [-]-type howitzer can barely reach it, and other artillery bombardments are useless. Naturally, Lu Xiangsheng cannot waste shells.

The gap between 200 and more than [-] is not a little bit. In one round, nearly [-] heavy armored infantry will be killed. Ten rounds will be [-]. One hundred thousand heavy armored infantry will only take fifty rounds. hour!
Dara Shik originally thought that even if the opponent was blasted for a while, there would be no big loss. At that time, the armored cavalry should have defeated the opponent's light cavalry. Once the armored cavalry rushed into the infantry formation, it would be a massacre, and the victory was guaranteed. .

But in the current situation, it is estimated that the [-] heavy armored infantry will be wiped out by the opponent in less than half an hour, and by that time the armored cavalry will also be finished.

How to do it?He didn't make a decision right away, but raised his binoculars to look at the battlefield where the cavalry was facing each other. He wanted to see the situation of the cavalry facing each other before making a decision. Maybe the cavalry of the Ming army would collapse at the first touch. This kind of situation is not unheard of. It is not the first time he has commanded armored cavalry to fight, and he has seen a lot of situations in which the enemy's cavalry was defeated in one fell swoop.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed. The cavalry of the Ming army were not so easy to defeat. Although the opponent even wore heavy armor with horses and men, and was almost invulnerable, it was impossible to criticize the heavy armor on the face. They are people who have experienced battles, and they can naturally see this obvious weakness. Therefore, when the two sides were more than 200 steps away, the Ming army cavalry raised their flintlock guns in unanimous agreement, aiming at the enemy's head. Pulled the trigger.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to aim and shoot, and you can only shoot blindly. Although the accuracy is not very good, but there are too many bullets, a rain of bullets passed, and the armored cavalry on the opposite side was knocked out several rows immediately.

However, the impact was not too great. The loss of a few thousand people was not a big deal to the [-] cavalry, and the cavalry behind still rushed up firmly.

Seeing that it was less than fifty paces away, the grenades in the Ming army's formation slammed down like rain again, "Boom boom boom", the armored cavalry of the Mughal Empire were instantly covered by smoke.

The problem is not too big. At this time, the grenade can only hurt people by the sputtering steel needles. It is actually not very effective against the heavy armored cavalry, and can only cause them a little injury.

The cavalry from the two sides finally collided. It’s time to let you know how powerful the armored cavalry is. Dara Shik clenched his fists excitedly, as if he saw the scene of the Ming army’s cavalry turning their backs and fleeing in defeat.

However, the plot did not develop as he imagined. After the two sides collided, there was no scene of people turning their backs, and the Ming cavalry basically did not suffer much damage!

What's going on here?The main issue is weapons. You must know that the flintlock guns of the Ming cavalry are more than one meter long, and the length of the bayonet is close to two meters. The cavalry of the Mughal Empire generally have full moon scimitars. It is less than one meter long, and the gap of this meter is like a natural moat!

The cavalry of the Mughal Empire were not afraid of being cut with heavy armor. The cavalry of the Ming army would be finished with a single cut without armor. , Not to mention hacking people to death, even human hair can't touch them!
Seeing this scene, cold sweat broke out on Dala Shike's forehead. The armored cavalry could no longer be counted on, and the heavy armored infantry was eating shells again. What should we do?
Running away?Can't run away!

Surrender?Can't vote, other people may be fine, he is definitely dead, because he is the eldest prince of the Mughal Empire, even if the Ming army doesn't kill him, let him go back, the other princes will not let go of this opportunity to beat the dog in the water, He is dead!
Finally, he gritted his teeth and roared frantically: "Order, all infantry charge with shields, charge up, and hack them to death!"

When Lu Xiangsheng saw the enemy's heavy armored infantry start to charge, he knew that the opponent was going to play a game of death. This was his favorite, and he had never seen anyone who was fiercer than him in this world.

When the enemy army rushed to the front of the formation, he directly ordered: "Order, the artillery stops the bombardment, withdraws from the left and right, and the Siamese Army immediately stepped forward to support."

After all, he rode his horse and rushed to the front of the formation, and a group of personal guards also rushed forward excitedly.

At this time, Mao Wenlong, who was commanding in front of the formation, was also constantly issuing orders. When the enemy was still a hundred steps away, he yelled directly: "Order, everyone, put on the bayonet."

When the enemy was still eighty paces away, he shouted again: "Order, everyone, prepare the grenade."

When the enemy was still fifty steps away, he shouted again: "Order, everyone, throw grenades, don't stop, throw all five grenades."

As soon as he finished speaking, the grenade rained down on the opponent's shield formation. The enemy's army was immediately submerged in smoke, and the shield formation was also stagnant.

Seeing this scene, Mao Wenlong roared directly: "Everyone, follow me."

Before Lu Xiangsheng rushed to the front of the formation, the Ming army in front shouted: "Come on." He rushed forward like a tide. He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said: "Hahahaha, this guy Mao Wenlong Is it quite fierce, not bad not bad."

The so-called "two armies confront each other, the brave wins", the Ming army is as imposing as a rainbow, but the Mughal Empire has long been terrified by artillery bombardment, coupled with the disadvantages of weapons, even if they have armored bodies, it is difficult for them to fight. escape fate.

There was nothing to talk about in the ensuing battle. The Ming army took advantage of the length of their weapons to continuously consume the strength of the opponent. Coupled with the advantage in numbers, almost all the Mughal Empire, whether it was armored cavalry or heavy armored infantry, were being suppressed. , and if you are not careful, you will be stabbed all over your face.

In less than half an hour, Lu Xiangsheng rushed into the shield formation and grabbed the local commander Dara Shike. The Mughal Empire army lost its fighting spirit. Soon, the heavy armored infantry and armored cavalry surrendered one after another.

It's impossible not to surrender, wearing heavy armor, wielding a scimitar, and playing for half an hour, one will be exhausted and paralyzed!
