Ming Zuo

Gauhati is located in the west of the Ahom Kingdom, on the south bank of the Jamuna River.

The Jamuna River is more than three miles wide, and it is impossible for both sides to advance side by side and attack in a roundabout way.

This makes Gauhati the gateway to the kingdom of Aham.

Without laying down here, Aurangzeb would have no way to continue marching.

Originally, the Kingdom of Ahom was weak, and despite the advantage of its terrain, it couldn't defend it.

Fortunately, the first division arrived in time, passed through the city, formed an array in the west of the city, and caught the front of the Tianzhu soldiers.

The width of the Jamuna River determines that there is no need to worry about the enemy attacking from the north bank to the back.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses want to cross a river more than three miles wide, and it will take half a month just to prepare.

If Aurangzeb really dared to divide his troops and make a detour, Yu Shutang would wake up laughing from his dreams.

The only thing to worry about are the mountains to the south of Gauhati.

"General Povkan, is there a way to go around in the mountains to the south?"

The general guarding Gauhati, named Rasit Povkan, was very young.

This person is unknown, but in the original time and space, more than 20 years later, the Mughal Empire invaded the Ahaom Kingdom, and it was he who led the army to defeat the Tianzhu army here.

After that battle, the Kingdom of Ahom began to recover, and even had time to purge the surrounding ethnic groups. Instead, its territory expanded a lot, ushering in a period of revival.

Because this Povkan's ability is still relatively strong.

Faced with Yu Shutang's question, Bofukan dared not neglect.

"There are several steep trails in the mountains in the south that can go around Guahati's back. The last general has made some arrangements before, which is enough to resist the passage of about ten thousand enemy troops."

There was a flash of appreciation in Yu Shutang's eyes.

"Before, you were the only ones guarding here. The Tianzhu people only need to attack from the front to be effective, so they are not keen on detours. But now they will definitely make a fuss from the mountains. Once they detour, there will be a lot of troops, and your previous arrangement will not be enough. That's it. So, General Povkan, you lead all the troops under your command to defend the mountain with all your strength. I will send you another battalion to help the formation. You have only one task, absolutely not allowing the Indians to rush out of the mountain."

Hearing Yu Shutang's arrangement, Povkan was a little anxious.

"General, there are many enemies. If all my soldiers and horses are taken away, something will happen."

Yu Shutang accepted his heart, but his smile was very confident.

"As long as there are no problems in the rear and flanks, the frontal enemies are nothing but chickens and dogs."

Seeing his resolute attitude, although Povkan was worried, there was nothing he could do.

He has already received the king's strict order, and he must obey the general of the country when he fights.

It's just that the army from Shangguo is only more than 4 people. Can it really defeat the more than [-] troops of the Tianzhu people?
With this kind of worry in mind, Povkan could not help but be more cautious when arranging his troops.

He didn't pile all his troops into the mountain, but sent elites to guard a few main roads.The rest of the main force is concentrated at the foot of the mountain. In this way, if the mountain is in danger, it can support the mountain, and the first division can support the first division if it is in danger.

As for a battalion sent to him by the First Division, he completely ignored it.

What can a mere thousand troops do?

Yu Shutang didn't know what Povkan was thinking, even if he knew, he would laugh it off.

The Tianzhu people are invincible in South Asia, but in the eyes of the National Defense Forces, they are no different from chickens and dogs.

In the telescope, the firearm penetration rate of the Tianzhu army did not even reach 30.00%, and they were all old matchlock guns.

The artillery that was launched was also junk.

The only thing that stands out is the more than 100 elephants.

The war in South Asia relies heavily on elephants.

The elephants of the Tianzhu people are all covered with thick armor, but they also have various gorgeous decorations on them.Shined by the sun, it scatters dazzling light.

Are the Tianzhu people planning to frighten their opponents in this way?

While Yu Shutang was observing the Tianzhu army, Aurangzeb was also observing the First Division.

After observing, Aurangzeb was full of confidence.

"The army on the opposite side is vulnerable, not even the basic formation of troops."

In the eyes of Aurangzeb, the formation of the first division is very simple.

How can anyone directly line up infantry on the front line without any cover?

No trenches were dug, no fortifications built, and the soldiers didn't even have shields in their hands, nor armor on their bodies.

Isn't this a charge that can kill them all?

Even though everyone in the first division had muskets in their hands, Aurangzeb was confident that he knew what muskets were like.

What's more, in the formation of the first division on the opposite side, there was no artillery at all.

Because the artillery of the National Defense Forces has a long range, they are arranged in the rear, and Aurangzeb can't find it with the naked eye.

He only thought that with such a crude formation, his army only needed one charge to decide the victory.

To the west of Gauhati City, to the north is the difficult-to-cross Jamuna River, to the south are treacherous mountains, and there is only a narrow plain in the middle.

With this kind of terrain, there is nothing to talk about in combat.

Aurangzeb lacked interest.

"Attack, I wish to have lunch in Guwahati."

The generals and soldiers below were extremely excited and immediately started to act.

Teams of infantry quickly pressed forward, built fortifications, and covered the elephant soldiers to follow up.

The elephant soldiers will be the main force of the charge.

And in the back, there are cavalrymen riding camels and wielding scimitars.

The most difficult thing is the gunner, who needs to push the artillery to keep up with the vicious sun.Once you are slow, you will encounter the officer's whip and scolding.

Even though he was not wearing armor, his combat equipment made the first division uncomfortable.

Yu Shutang felt oily all over his body, knowing that there was no delay.

"Attack, end early."

The first division also moved.

The first group lined up in a neat array and squeezed towards the Tianzhu people without haste.

The artillery observation post began to report various data.

The artillerymen far behind had no protection requirements, and simply operated the artillery with their upper body bare and big pants.

Amidst the neat and rhythmic chant, shells were stuffed into the barrel.

Seeing that the first division also attacked, Aurangzeb was a little surprised.

What surprised him even more was that the first division dispatched only one phalanx.

The other three phalanxes just followed behind, seeming to be full-time protection.

What kind of self-confidence does the army coming from far away from the Middle Earth have, thinking that with 5000 men, it can compete with his army of tens of thousands?

Before Aurangzeb could figure it out, there was a thunderstorm on the flat ground.

But the sky is clear and clear!

Before the Tianzhu people could react, hundreds of black dots flew across the sky without any pursuit of accuracy, completely covering the formation of the Tianzhu army.

In an instant, the area within a radius of several miles was covered by smoke and flames, and the Tianzhu army completely disappeared in the smoke.

The effect has not yet been determined, but from the rear of the first division, another rain of orange-red fireworks enveloped the sky, causing the earth to suffer the ravages of terror again.

Su Yafa, Gangda and other princes and ministers of the Ahom kingdom who watched the battle beside Yu Shutang were all stunned and completely lost their souls.
