Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 811 The Ming Army's Terrifying Combat Strength

Aurangzeb is indeed a cruel man.

In history, he also rose up to seize the throne like Shah Jahan, but he was more ruthless than Shah Jahan.

Shah Jahan came to power after his old father died. He beheaded his eldest brother Dalashuk and gave it to his old father. He beat his second brother until he fled the Mughal Empire and dared not come back. .

He also executed his youngest brother Murad Baksh, poisoned his eldest nephew Sulaiman Shuk, and put his old father Shah Jahan under house arrest to death!

Such a ruthless person is really frightening. It is said that after he ascended the throne of Khan, even his own son trembled with fright when he saw him.

At this moment, although Mowgli was not trembling with fright, he was also in a panic.

Because His Royal Highness looked like a cold-blooded animal without any emotion, and the cold look in his eyes made him terrified.

The reason why Aurangzeb rushed to Mowgli's camp was because the detoured attack team had returned.

5 people ran to attack others, but only 3 people fled back in embarrassment.

You bastards!

Aurangzeb stared coldly at the leading general lying on the ground for a long time, and then said with frost on his face: "Didn't you lead the army to sneak attack on the enemy camp? You didn't destroy any of the enemy's artillery, but you lost it." With so many horses, what's going on?"

The leading general was terrified and said, "I don't know what's going on. We just ran out of the jungle and were rushing towards the camp of the Ming army, when suddenly the cavalry of the Ming army rushed up."

Obviously, the Ming army had already discovered this sneak attacking team.

The Ming army's detection methods seem to be very powerful, and any actions on their side seem to be unable to escape their eyes.

This question is really a headache.

Aurangzeb frowned and pondered for a while, then asked coldly: "How many cavalrymen of the Ming army rushed towards you?"

The leading general said with horror on his face: "There are at least [-] Ming army cavalry rushing up, and all of them are armored cavalry, very well equipped, before they go to battle, it is just a rain of arrows.

Moreover, everyone in the cavalry of the Ming army was equipped with a big knife and a long spear, and the big knife was even more frighteningly sharp. Our waist knives couldn't be blocked at all, and they would break when touched. "

[-] cavalry countered the sneak attack, and [-] cavalry faced the enemy head-on, that would be [-].

They still have nearly 23 people, and it should not be a problem to deal with [-] armored cavalry.

The question is whether the armored cavalry of the Ming army is really only [-].

If the Ming army still hid [-] to [-] armored cavalry, it would be hard to say whether they could do it well.

Aurangzeb frowned and pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "Mowgli, these two days have been devoted to making thick wooden shields and wooden rafts. You need to make at least [-] wooden shields that are half a person's height and arm thick. Make a thousand of them.

Early in the morning of the day after tomorrow, we simultaneously built the pontoon bridge and launched an attack.

Remember, send out all the wooden rafts first, send people across the river, at least [-] vanguard troops across the river in each place.

After the vanguard troops crossed the river, they directly arranged thick wooden shields into several layers of shield arrays, and behind the shield arrays were equipped with pikemen.

After avoiding the arrow rain of the Ming army and resisting the charge of the armored cavalry of the Ming army, the pikemen cooperated with the shield formation to entangle the armored cavalry of the Ming army.

In this way, we can continuously send other troops across the river to encircle and wipe out those Ming army cavalry. "

Well, the thick wooden shield can indeed block the arrow rain of the Ming army, and it can also withstand the collision of the Ming army cavalry.

However, in order to withstand the charge of the armored cavalry of the Ming army, it would take at least two or three layers of shield formation.

In other words, nine out of ten people in the first two or three layers are doomed.

Moreover, the thick wooden shield is very heavy, if it is not a strong and elite soldier, it will be difficult to carry it.

Alas, I don't know how many elite soldiers will be lost this time.

Mowgli has always kept [-] strong and elite soldiers under his command, and he was not willing to use them to build pontoon bridges, nor to use them for sneak attacks.

To put it bluntly, all the people he sent were cannon fodder, and if they were all dead, it would not have much effect on his strength.

Now it seems that it is impossible, the day after tomorrow he must send at least [-] elite soldiers to carry thick wooden shields, otherwise, His Royal Highness will definitely punish him.

no way.

He could only nod helplessly and said, "I understand."

In the next two days, Aurangzeb also ordered his men to build wooden rafts and thick wooden shields frantically. They built more wooden rafts and thick wooden shields, with more than 3000 wooden rafts and more than 3 thick wooden shields.

In the early morning of the third day, attacks were launched almost simultaneously at the places where the pontoon bridges were built. More than 5000 rafts appeared on the river, scattered everywhere on the tens of miles long river.

Moreover, each wooden raft has a row of thick wooden shields on top of it in front.

Seeing this, Sun Zushou couldn't help frowning slightly.

With so many wooden rafts, at least 5 people can be delivered at one time.

Moreover, the commander of the Mughal Empire who came later was obviously much stronger than the previous one. He even knew how to disperse their forces, and even ordered so many thick wooden shields to be made.

More than 5000 wooden rafts and [-] artillery pieces must be endless.

People's platoons are so scattered, it's not bad if five hundred cannons can blow out a hundred wooden platoons.

There is no way, if you can't blow it off, you have to blow it.

Sun Zushou saw that the enemy's raft was almost in the middle of the river, and immediately ordered decisively: "All artillery, bombard five rounds in a row, and fire."

Fortunately, they have a lot of telescopes, even if they have a large telescope with a viewing distance of fifteen or six miles, they only need to send someone to the back to apply to Lu Xiangsheng, and it will take less than a day to pull it over.

At this moment, large-scale binoculars were set up in the four camps, and the flags were waved, so that the camps on both sides could see clearly.

As for the northernmost one, just pass it on in the middle.

The flag was waved for a while, and the four camps heard the roar of artillery almost at the same time. On the river, there was a column of water soaring into the sky, and the water mist filled the air, making it impossible to see clearly.

It's a pity that the number of artillery pieces is limited, and the moving wooden rafts can only be arranged in a few rows for intensive bombardment, so they didn't bombard many wooden rafts.

Before long, nearly [-] Mughal infantry came ashore.

This time, they didn't run around in a mess. After landing, they directly formed a five-layer shield formation, which was everywhere where the pontoon bridge was built.

This is really a bit troublesome.

However, no matter how troublesome it is, it must be done quickly.

Because the wooden rafts have turned around and continued to pull people, if they can't break through these shield formations before the second wave of enemies comes, then the enemies will gather more and more.

No matter how powerful they are, it is impossible for them to defeat more than 3 troops with 20 horses!

When Sun Zushou saw this, he frowned slightly, and then said decisively: "Order, all the cavalry, charge, and shoot the spears first, breaking all the shield formations."

There was another wave of command flags, and [-] cavalry came out almost at the same time.

The cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion were so fierce that even a five-layer shield formation couldn't stop them.

After all the cavalry rushed up, they rode their horses without hesitation, and the first layer of shield formation was immediately flattened by them with their shields.

The Mughal Empire infantry behind the wooden shield didn't know what was going on, so they were slapped to death by their own shield and the momentum of the troops.

Immediately afterwards, the spears were fired.

The wooden shield, which was difficult for people to carry and walk, was directly lifted by two layers with the help of the horse's momentum. As for the people under the wooden shield, it would be good if the horse didn't turn into meat after the horse stepped over.

They broke through the three layers of shield formation almost in the blink of an eye.

However, it is difficult to reach the fourth floor.

Because the first three floors have almost exhausted the charge of the horses, and they can't borrow much strength on the fourth floor, they can only rely on brute force to challenge.

This move was really strenuous, without the momentum of the horse, a wooden shield weighing a hundred jin and a person weighing a hundred jin, it was basically impossible for one person to pick it up.

However, fortunately, they are quite skillful in battle formation. If one person can't handle it, then two people will go up together, and if two people can't, then three or four will come.

Soon, the fourth layer of the shield was also broken by them.

The fifth layer of shield array is even more troublesome, because there are many pikemen hidden behind the fifth layer of shield array.

The long spear suddenly came out from behind the shield, and if you were not careful, you would be stabbed with a bloody hole.

However, this situation is not difficult for the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion who have experienced many battles.

After being stabbed, they switched their spears to their right hands almost at the same time, holding the wooden shield with one hand, and pulled out the saber with the other. When they saw the spears stabbing out, they immediately slashed over.

Shenwu Camp's horse-chopping sword is specially made, not only extremely thick but also extremely sharp, and the shafts of other people's spears can't stand a knife at all.

The pikemen of the Mughal Empire were dumbfounded when they saw the cut-off gun shaft.

The gun head is gone, how can I stab it?
He was wearing iron armor, and if he poked it with a wooden stick without a gun point, it would just tickle him!

With the spear gone, the shield formation would naturally be broken.

Soon, the fifth layer of the shield formation was also blown away by the joint efforts of the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion.

The pikemen and sword-shieldmen behind the shield were so frightened that they turned around and ran straight into the river, as if they were in a hurry to jump into the water.

This time the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion were not so polite, because the fifth layer of the shield formation more or less caused them a little casualties, and they also became angry.

When the leading general gave an order, everyone swiftly inserted the spears and sabers back into the pouches and scabbards on both sides of the saddle, and then quickly drew out the longbow and sharp arrows on the side, bent the bow and set the arrow, and it was a meal shoot.

Tens of thousands of infantry rushing across the river were wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour. The fighting power of the Ming army is really terrifying!
On the other side of the river, Aurangzeb, who was standing on a high platform holding a telescope to look out, couldn't help taking a breath when he saw this.

His whole army was wiped out in this route, let alone the other three routes.

In other words, this time they lost a full 5 horses.

How to do?
If [-] is not enough, then [-]!
Soon, a stern look appeared in Aurangzeb's eyes.

He has already seen that the cavalry of the Ming army is almost reaching its limit.

Although he killed all the [-] infantry he sent across the river, his own casualties were not small, at least not one thousand were stabbed, and hundreds were stabbed to death.

In other words, as long as [-] infantry rushed over together, not to mention defeating the Ming cavalry on the opposite side, it would be no problem to withstand it.

Once the front ones stand up, he will send all the remaining 7 horsemen over there, and he will definitely kill this elite cavalry of the Ming army!

Thinking of this, he decisively ordered: "Order, don't go on the returned wooden rafts. All the horses should try their best to build wooden rafts and thick wooden shields. In five days, at least 1 wooden rafts and [-] thick wooden shields must be gathered together." !"

On the high platform of the Ming army camp, Sun Zushou also scanned through the telescope.

He couldn't help frowning when he saw the enemy withdrawing their troops and going back to cut down trees frantically.

Obviously, the enemy's commander-in-chief also noticed that his [-] soldiers were almost reaching their limit.

The next time someone rushes over, there will definitely not be such a small number of people, and it is estimated that the number will be at least doubled!
How to do it?

Perhaps, at that time, only artillery and cavalry can go up together, and fight with others desperately!
Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng did not make them desperate.

It was only two days after the great battle, and a group of cavalry galloped from behind their camp.

The general who led the army came directly to the command tent, bowed his hands and said, "General Sun, the rear defense line has been built. Master Lu said that you can lead the army to retreat at any time."
