Chapter 897 Battle 3

Aurangzeb felt that he could not think of a better way because he had few battles with the Chinese army and lacked experience and understanding.

As for those Fusang officers who have been there, they can tell them responsibly that even if they are given time, they will not be able to come up with a good solution.

The gap in weapons is too large, and any strategy will be a cloud in the face of this gap in equipment.

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 Chinese army to attack from both sides at the same time.

The Chinese army has no better way 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 Huajun is actually not very afraid of being flanked by two sides.

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.

Aurangzeb stood on a huge chariot and observed the Chinese army with binoculars.

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, Aurangzeb can see farther.

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

The sound of cannons sounded, and it was the Chinese army launching an attack.

However, the active attack of the Chinese army is different from that of the Mughal Empire.

The active offensive of the Mughal Empire was infantry charging, while the active offensive of the Chinese army was to use long-range firepower to force the opponent to charge towards 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 Chinese army did not deliberately look for Aurangzeb's position. His four-meter-high chariot looked very conspicuous, but it was insignificant when thrown among hundreds of thousands of people.

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

The artillery of the Chinese 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 shelling of the Chinese army also means the beginning of the decisive battle.

The Mughal side also accelerated the pace of advancement.

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

These ultra-thick chariots cannot be pierced by bullets.

However, the two hundred or so chariots could not block all the charging troops.

At the same time, their arrow beds also reached the predetermined position and began to launch towards the Chinese army.

Their every move fell into the eyes of Hua Jun.

"Mortar, aim at the opponent's arrow beds, destroy those arrow beds."

Before the war, the Chinese army had done intelligence work, and knew that among the Mughal army, these arrow beds were the biggest threat to their side.

These arrow beds use mechanical force, and the kinetic energy is so strong that even a helmet can't stop it.

These arrow beds are the priority targets for the Chinese army to destroy.

However, it is too troublesome to adjust the field artillery, and it is difficult to transmit information to the artillery.

Therefore, the task of destroying these arrow beds is undertaken by mortars.

"shoot."

On the Mughal side, the first batch of crossbow arrows were fired.

The accuracy is average, but powerful.

The crossbow arrows that fell into the Chinese army's position killed hundreds of soldiers.

This is because the soldiers of the Chinese army are relatively scattered. If the formation of the cold weapon era was followed, the casualties in this wave would be at least thousands.

This kind of arrow bed is definitely a big killer in the cold weapon era.

Of course, such a powerful weapon would naturally have extremely huge flaws, otherwise this weapon would have replaced all swords long ago.

There are also many defects in the arrow bed, the first is that it is expensive.

This thing, that is, a unified empire can play, and other small forces can't afford it at all.

The second is the slow launch speed.

After launching a wave just now, the next reload will take at least ten minutes.

This launch speed is simply hopeless.

However, this is relative to thermal weapons.

In the era of cold weapons, the pace of battle is slow, and the two sides may fight each other for a whole day without being able to tell the winner.

Throughout the day, these arrow beds are fired many times, which is enough to determine the outcome of a war.

In the final analysis, this arrow bed is a big killer in the cold weapon era. When facing the Chinese army, these expensive things are just like that.

After they fired once, the shells of the Chinese army began to fall into their arrow beds.

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

Those Ren who were loading the arrow beds with crossbow bolts were blown up immediately.

And those arrow beds hit by shells were also destroyed.

This kind of precious thing needs to be carefully maintained at ordinary times, and there must be no minor problems, otherwise it will easily fail to launch.

And now, under powerful shells, these

The arrow bed was scrapped in an instant.

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 too heavy. If it weren't for the decisive battle at this time, the officer would have ordered the arrow bed troops to be withdrawn first.

These arrow beds are much more expensive than those cannon fodder, so they cannot be used up like this.

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

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

While he was struggling, the Chinese army's shells continued to land in this area.

The rate of fire of the mortars of the Chinese army is very fast, and well-trained soldiers can fire more than a dozen shots in one minute.

One arrow bed was destroyed, and it seemed that the arrow bed unit would almost be wiped out before the second launch.

The commanders of the arrow bed were at a loss. They couldn't find any way to defend or counter their opponents, so they could only stand and be beaten.

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

A Mughal officer sighed, after only a few minutes of fighting, he began to feel frustrated.

After all, in just a few minutes, the weapon they relied on most in the army was almost destroyed by the Chinese army.

The infantry who were still charging did not know that the arrow beds behind had been destroyed, and continued to charge forward.

They had already entered the range of the Chinese army, and the machine guns and rifles of the Chinese army 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.
