Chapter 895： Engagement 1

The leader of the Mughal is Shah Jahan’s third son, Aurangzeb.

Aurangzeb is a very capable man. In history, he will defeat several other princes in two years and force his father to abdicate, thus officially becoming the monarch of the Mughal Empire.

Although Shah Jahan was closest to his eldest son Dara, he did not dare to joke about military matters, and could only give power to the more capable Aurangzeb.

If Dara were to rule the army, it would definitely be defeated.

Although Aurangzeb is very capable, he has the same problem as Dorgon, Hauge and others, that is, he doesn't know enough about Dahua's strength.

Aurangzeb knew that the Chinese army was very strong, but how strong he was, he could not judge from a battle, nor could he infer from some hearsay stories.

Intelligence is still very important, but unfortunately they didn't do a good job.

Therefore, even if Aurangzeb is very capable, his military arrangements are still full of loopholes in the eyes of the Chinese Army.

Aurangzeb chose to open the formation and push forward.

Of course, he also made some preparations, such as making armored vehicles that require five or six soldiers to push forward at the same time.

There are thick wooden boards and leather on it, which are used to block Dahua's bullets.

He also prepared elephant soldiers in the army, cavalry on the flanks, and a large number of archers in the Chinese army.

Among them are some giant crossbows and arrow beds.

The arrow bed uses boulders for power launch, which can shoot hundreds of giant sharp arrows at one time.

Shooting far and powerful, it is a great weapon in the Mughal Empire.

Of course, they don't have many such good things, otherwise they can all go to Persia.

There are actually muskets in the Mughal Empire, but they are all very backward arquebuses and a few flintlocks.

These forces are very inconspicuous in their army, and Aurangzeb did not take it seriously.

"Your Majesty, Dahua's army has come out and is approaching us."

On the 21st, his subordinates reported to Aurangzeb.

Oh?

Aurangzeb was a little surprised.

The strength of the Chinese Army is only more than 60,000, which is only one-seventh of theirs.

The courage to attack with such a huge disadvantage is surprising.

"Your Majesty, let me take the strikers to meet them for a while."

Aurangzeb did not understand the true strength of the Chinese Army, and his men were almost like this.

So when he learned that his opponent was only 60,000, General Marata wanted to ask for a fight and grab a piece of credit.

As soon as Marata spoke, other people also asked for the battle, trying to grab the credit.

Aurangzeb was also very pleased to see that the morale of his subordinates was so high.

He began to arrange military deployment, let Marata lead the chariots and crossbow troops to rush to kill the Chinese army from the front.

Let the other general Mudela lead the cavalry to the flank of the Chinese army and attack the flank of the Chinese army.

Another general, Bahadu, led the infantry to charge from the center to fight the Chinese army.

Very regular frontal field play, nothing dazzling, but if the Chinese army is also a cold weapon unit, his arrangement is also completely fine.

The two sides contacted at noon, and the strikers of both sides had been together for less than a kilometer.

As for the army, it is still in the rear.

It is impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to pile up on the front line.

The 400,000 troops of the Mughal Empire almost covered this area, several kilometers in depth.

Even the Hua army, the front army and the rear army, are separated by several miles. The left and right fronts are also several miles long, divided into multiple sections.

The forwards of the two armies made contact and went to war without saying a word.

The Chinese Army is a brigade of the 301st Division, and the Mughal is a mixed infantry and archer unit with almost 10,000 people.

The two sides went to war, and the Mughal formed a formation with the archers in front and the infantry in the back, and then approached the Chinese army.

This is their traditional method of tactics. First let the archer enter the shooting range, then shoot all the seven or eight bows and arrows in the hand in the shortest time, then retreat to the side, and the infantry charge.

The reason why the archers bring so few arrows is entirely because they pursue preemptive strikes, so they have to shoot as far as possible than the opponent.

This requires the bowstring to be pulled relatively full, which is very labor intensive.

Being able to shoot seven or eight arrows in a short period of time is already pretty good.

And don't underestimate the power of this wave of projectiles, it is quite powerful to deal with the close formation.

Unfortunately, the Dahua army they encountered this time was their sorrow.

In the past, they used to fight first because their archers had a long range.

However, this time, it was the Chinese Army who did the first thing, and their rifles had a longer range.

While those archers were still advancing, the Chinese army shot.

Kudo Noo was full of emotions against these unprotected enemies who came over in a stupid formation.

Once, he and his comrades attacked the Chinese army like each other, but they were violently attacked by the Chinese army from a distance.

Most of his companion died. He was more afraid of death. He fell during the charge. He took the opportunity to pretend to be dead. He didn't continue the charge and took a small life.

"Kill, let these barbarians know how powerful I am."

A soldier nearby shouted and fired.

He didn't even realize that at this moment he was regarded as a real Chinese, and he was proud of being a Chinese.

The sound of gunfire sounded, and the sound of guns in the rear also sounded.

Because of the difficulty of transportation, the Chinese army brought not many artillery troops this time. The four divisions were equipped with only three artillery regiments, with a total of more than 160 field guns.

These field guns are the only long-range fire support of the Chinese Army.

When the artillery was supporting the brigade of Kudo Yeo, they had not yet fully fired, but only allowed forty artillery to fire. This was for fear of scaring the enemy away at one time and also to save ammunition.

With the sound of the cannons, the shells fell accurately into the army of the Mughal Empire.

Suddenly, a lot of screams sounded.

Their formation is too dense, and this formation is simply a surprise to the mighty artillery.

"Speed ​​up."

The Mughal commander hurriedly shouted that at this moment they were still in effective range, and they couldn't even fight back.

The archers immediately speeded up the pace of advancement, but as they advanced, some people kept falling down.

There was a sound of da da da on the Hua Jun side, and they were about to fall down a large piece of it.

How is this going?

This is the confusion in the hearts of all Mughal soldiers.

They used to fight wars and they were absolutely safe at this distance. Why did they start to die now, and a large part of them died.

Although they can't figure out why this is, they can also realize that this situation is very bad and very dangerous.
