Chapter 899: Fleeing
The cavalry on the left was not much better, they charged faster than the elephant soldiers, but they also died faster.
The scene of their charge was similar to that of the Chinese army in Mongolia.
Cavalrymen are vulnerable to machine guns.
The role of the most elite cavalry is almost the same as that of cannon fodder, they are all consuming the ammunition of the Chinese army.
Only a small number of cavalry rushed in front of the Chinese army, and then it was useless, they could only cause a little damage to the Chinese army, and then they were quickly killed.
And more cavalry chose to turn around and escape halfway through the charge.
The cavalry that Aurangzeb had hoped for made him completely disappointed.
"Your Majesty, we need to retreat first and sum up our experience. We can't continue fighting like this. We know too little about the Dahua people."
A subordinate spoke out the aspirations of everyone.
They all felt that the fight could not go on like this, that it was hopeless.
Although the weapons of the Chinese army are very powerful, they believe that their failure is mainly due to their ignorance of the Chinese army.
As long as we learn more, sum up experience, and find out the weaknesses of the Chinese army, we can still fight.
"Damn it, I will remember this grudge."
Aurangzeb gritted his teeth.
This battle is very important to him, as long as he wins Dahua, he can use this power to force his father to abdicate, and everyone else will support him.
He's thirty-five years old and can't wait to get on top.
But if he loses, others will question his ability. Not to mention being superior, he might lose his existing advantages, and finally the emperor fell to his useless elder brother.
Qi returns to Qi, and Aurangzeb also knows that it is impossible to fight now.
If you continue to fight, you are just sending yourself to death.
Why are these great Chinese people so powerful?
Aurangzeb was very depressed. Dahua's strength was beyond his imagination, which made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
Aurangzeb arranged for a force to break the rear, and then let the army retreat.
After the order was issued, the remaining troops immediately exploded.
"Why are they retreating, and we have to stay and deal with the group of eastern devils?"
In the eyes of these soldiers, the Chinese army has become a life-threatening devil.
People in the Mughal Empire were quite superstitious.
When encountering incomprehensible things, they like to talk about gods and ghosts.
The bullets of the Chinese army, in their view, are the punishment of the devil.
Only ghosts and gods have this magical power.
"We can't fight the devil, that will anger the devil and be catastrophe..."
Some soldiers muttered in their mouths, not sure if they really thought so, or they wanted an excuse to escape.
In short, these soldiers were unwilling to stay behind after seeing the tragedy on the battlefield.
However, he only dared to complain, but he didn't dare to mutiny directly.
They still lack an early bird, but an early bird is hard to come by.
In the previous battles, the Mughal army killed at least 50,000 to 60,000 people and injured tens of thousands.
But even so, they still had nearly 300,000 soldiers left to fight.
It was not easy for this large army to retreat, and of course the Chinese army did not dare to pursue it deeply.
The 300,000 army has the ability to fight back at any time.
Aurangzeb's main force is retreating, while the Chinese army is advancing side by side, slowly pursuing.
They first fought against the Mughal's broken rear troops, and the Chinese army took the initiative to charge, trying to defeat the opponent.
It is rare for the Hua army to have the opportunity to charge, and everyone is quite excited.
Especially the soldiers from Changzhou Province and Hanoi Province were the most aggressive.
Those who don't know think that they love the Dahua Empire very much in their hearts and want to serve the country.
In fact, they are just addicted to the thrill of crushing their opponents.
Of course, it is also to make a little credit, so that I can get along better in the Dahua Empire.
Although they are not Han people, as long as they make meritorious service, they will be rewarded after all.
Maybe there are ten yuan rewards for Han soldiers, and they are only five yuan, but at least there are some. Some contented people can accept this status quo.
The Chinese army rushed over overwhelmingly, scaring those who were behind to flee quickly.
In their eyes, Huajun has become the incarnation of the devil, and they don't want to fight the devil.
Before that, the Mughal soldiers tried every means to get close to the Chinese army, but those who were killed could not move forward.
But now, the Hua army rushed out on their own initiative, but they did not dare to fight, but ran away quickly.
This funny scene made some soldiers who were still a little bit confused and frustrated.
Since there is a chance not to fight melee, then what was the purpose of rushing desperately before?
These people want to stay and turn the tide, but unfortunately there are too few of them.
Most of them were mobs. As soon as they saw their large troops retreating and the Chinese army charging over again, the first thought in their mind was to run away.
Someone took the lead, and someone followed suit immediately, and those officers couldn't control it at all.
Even some officers are taking the lead in escaping.
A scattered army is useless no matter how large it is.
The Chinese army charged and defeated the broken army, and the soldiers who tried to escape failed to escape, and were blocked by several motorcycles of the Chinese army.
Originally, the military wanted to transport a heavy armored division to India, but the freight was too expensive. Considering the cost, they had to give up.
In desperation, they only shipped dozens of motorcycles to replace the role of horses.
And now, during the pursuit, this motorcycle battalion played a huge role.
They rushed directly in front of those deserters, and then relying on a dozen motorcycles, less than a hundred people, stopped in front of those deserters.
With a team of less than 100 people, those rout soldiers can be trampled to death as long as they rush over in one go.
However, those Mughal soldiers who had been killed did not dare to do this, but chose to kneel down and surrender.
Surrender this kind of thing, I am afraid that someone will take the lead.
After someone took the lead in surrendering, others followed suit because of herd mentality, as if they were afraid that the Chinese army would immediately slaughter those who did not surrender.
Ever since, this motorcycle battalion created a myth. With less than one hundred people, they captured nearly five thousand people abruptly.
On a defeated battlefield, anything magical can happen.
After defeating the stopped troops, the Chinese army continued to pursue, hanging behind Aurangzeb, so that they could not sleep at ease.
As long as they run a little slower, they will fall into the range of the Chinese artillery.
Under such circumstances, Aurangzeb's troops fled in a panic, and a large number of people were left behind on the road, and were chased by the Chinese army, and then captured by the Chinese army.
These soldiers, apart from helping Aurangzeb consume some rations, really didn't play any role in this battle.
Times have changed. In the face of hot weapons, the number of troops has become meaningless.
