Chapter 908 Formation

"Human sea tactics..."

Wu Qi saw the ancient Indian army covering the battlefield, almost three times the number of the Han army, which made one's scalp tingle.

It is said that at the beginning, King Yuehu had 600,000 troops. He lost 200,000 soldiers and horses in the battle with Queen Isabella of Spain and Shogun Oda Nobunaga, leaving 400,000. Otherwise, the Han army would face Quadruple enemies.

The Han army was already famous for its numbers, but ancient India was a civilization that preferred to use crowd tactics, and the lives of lower castes were worthless.

900 huge war elephants are arranged in the middle, and Indian archers and spearmen sit on the wooden towers on the back of the elephants.

Even the Moon Guardian King and his most important minister, Kautilya, all use war elephants as mounts, condescending, overlooking the entire battlefield.

"Anyone who dares to offend my authority will be punished!"

King Yuehu activated his abilities, and the morale of the 400,000 ancient Indian army was boosted!

With the blessing of the founder of the Maurya Dynasty like King Yuehu, the ancient Indian army looked good and was ready for battle.

A thousand chariots are located on the two wings, and will cooperate with the war elephants in the middle to destroy the three routes of the Han army in one go.

Chariots are also a combination of archers, spearmen, and slaves.

"A chariot again..."

Chu Tian saw that the ancient Indian army had 1,000 chariots, which was larger than the 300 hob chariots of Darius I. He couldn't help but compare the ancient Indian army of King Moon Guardian with the ancient Persian army of Darius I difference between.

The ancient Indian chariot did not have a sharp blade on the axle, similar to the ancient Chinese chariot, relying on the impact of the chariot, as well as the archers and Chang Ge on the chariot to harvest the enemy.

There are dozens of infantry behind each chariot. After the chariot destroys the enemy's formation, the infantry presses up, and the opponent is basically defeated.

Before the rise of the more rigorous infantry phalanx and the cavalry as the main force, the status of the chariot was unshakable, but times have changed.

What the Han army was more worried about was the war elephant army in ancient India.

War elephants without armor belonged to the eighth-tier unit, and armored war elephants belonged to the ninth-tier unit, and there was no upper limit on the number—in other words, the number of war elephants was the upper limit.

The Han army entered the battlefield ahead of time, and Chu Tian ordered the whole army to immediately build a position.

Chutian's army was already familiar with the road, and dug a trench in front of the whole army according to the routine operation. Wei Wuzu, Yinqiang Xiaojie army, Jianyan crossbowmen, and Shenjiying hid behind the trench.

The trenches have passages at intervals for counterattacks.

Wei Wuzu used large cowhide shields or large wooden shields to form a second temporary fortification.

Not only that, Chutian brought Hongyi cannons and bed crossbows used for siege and defense, and evenly distributed them in the trenches, turning hand-to-hand combat in the wild into defensive warfare.

Although the Han army who was born in the desert terrain faced the harsh environment, it was not completely unlucky. Chutian got a batch of camels.

Camels can be used for transportation, as well as…

Chutian ordered 1,000 camels to be deployed in front of the battle.

"This deployment is very brutal..."

Wu Qi couldn't help being frightened when he saw twenty red barbarian cannons and hundreds of bed crossbows (including eight ox crossbows) scattered in front of them at equal distances.

You know, heavy weapons such as Hongyi cannons and bed crossbows can even be used to destroy city walls, and Chutian is used to shoot directly from the front. If they are hit from the front, let alone heavy infantry, even war elephants will die die.

Even Wu Qi was not very willing to be shot head-on by Hongyi cannons and bed crossbows. That would mean sacrificing the lives of many soldiers in order to take down the enemy's formation.

"300 solid bullets and 1,500 giant crossbow bolts are enough for King Moon Guard to enjoy... Originally, I wanted to let Oda Nobunaga try the feeling of being shot by heavy weapons from the front, but the most urgent task is to defeat King Moon Guard."

Chu Tian looked at the fortifications with satisfaction. At the rear of the Han army, there was a temporary camp made up of grain carts.

The significance of the trench is that it will not be destroyed by the opponent's war elephants, chariots, and crowd tactics as soon as the battle starts, and play a blocking role.

As for the Hongyi cannon and the large bed crossbow...

"Moonguard King,

Not this time. "

Before the battle, Xia Liang saw Chu Tian's arrangement and knew the outcome.

King Yuehu's army is mainly infantry. Among the 400,000 troops, more than 300,000 are infantry.

The main force on Chutian's side is the cavalry.

In a sense, cavalry is enough to crush infantry.

Now Chutian is on the defensive. If King Yuehu chooses not to fight against Chutian, the 400,000 army will be exhausted and will soon fall into a state of fatigue. At that time, there will be many loopholes. Chutian sends cavalry to attack, and the 400,000 army will collapse. .

Just now, the Moon Guardian King also used the ability to boost morale before the battle.

Therefore, King Yuehu had to take the initiative to attack.

And King Yuehu launched an attack, if he could not break through the defense line of the Han army, then the consequences would be predictable.

"Xiao Chuo hasn't come back yet. Could it be that she was besieged by the Ottoman army and returned to the main world?"

Chutian's order to Xiao Chuo was to provoke the Ottoman Empire, divert the trouble to the east, plant the blame on the Arabs, and then return to join Chutian.

But Xiao Chuo has no intention of coming back now.

Now, a decisive battle between the Han army and the ancient Indian army is about to break out.

"She shouldn't die so easily, otherwise she wouldn't be Xiao Chuo."

Xia Liang knew this potential competitor very well.

Xiao Chuo is also the only one who can threaten her status.

...

In the desert, yellow sand filled the air. Because of Xiao Chuo's instigation, two armies confronted here.

The legendary king of the Ottoman Empire, Maimat II, confronted the Umayyad, the lord of the Arab Empire, and both of them were very proud.

Umayyad now knows that someone is framing and deliberately provoking the two forces to fight.

But at this time, the two sides are riding a tiger.

The legendary king regards all the lords coming from the main world as enemies, so Mamaiti II is unwilling to let the player lords of the Arab Empire go.

It was impossible for Umayyad to escape, so he led the Ottoman army into the depths of the desert, and after entering the invincible terrain of the Arab Empire, he chose to fight the Ottoman army.

On the opposite side is the "conqueror" of the Ottoman Empire, Maimaiti II, who made 26 expeditions in his life and buried the Byzantine Empire himself.

Xiao Chuoyi was a bold man, and brought a few camel cavalry to a sand dune, lying on his stomach to observe the battle between two huge legions.

The Ottoman Empire dispatched more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, while the Umayyads of the Arab Empire added more than 100,000 troops.

A white-robed cavalryman whispered to Xiao Chuo: "My lord, the troops on the other side are almost twice as strong as the Arabs. This time the Arabs will suffer. Our lord suffered a small loss from the Arabs not long ago. Tens of thousands of cavalry If you die in battle, this time we can avenge our lord."

Xiao Chuo observed the momentum of the two armies and shook his head slightly: "You are wrong, the Arabs led the proud Ottoman army into the depths of the desert. This place is not close to the city, and supplies are difficult. The grain carts of the Ottoman army have lost touch with the main force. In addition, the Arabs are familiar with the changing weather of the desert. They only need to use the weather to launch a surprise attack with the help of sandstorms... In other words, they are invincible in the desert. Unless they have five times or ten times more of troops."

The white-robed cavalry gasped: "Then how should we avenge our lord?"

Xiao Chuo thought for a while: "You follow my orders. After a while, we will use our own strength to avenge the lord. This is why I chose to stay here and not go back to join the lord."

Because what Chutian handed over to Xiao Chuo was 3,000 white-robed soldiers.

As the seventh-rank light cavalry, the white-robed army is actually quite rare. Only Huo Qubing's ninth-rank light cavalry, the imperial hussars, can surpass the white-robed army.

It was precisely because he had 3,000 white-robed troops at his disposal that Xiao Chuo dared to conceive a bold plan to avenge Chutian's defeat in the Desert War.

...

Huo An led 17,000 remnants of soldiers and horses, wandering around, trying to find a city with empty defenses, replace it, and supply troops and food.

"Which legendary king's territory is in the north?"

Huo An fled to the north and sent a large number of scouting cavalry.

"My lord, we captured several scout cavalry alive, and one of them didn't kill himself, claiming to be from the Kingdom of Macedonia!"

"Macedonia? This is Alexander's scout cavalry, I am not his opponent now..."

Huo An was sweating profusely.

He was besieged by Caesar and Constantine, leaving only 17,000 soldiers and horses. In this state, when he meets Alexander of Macedon, he will be slaughtered one-sidedly. Alexander.

Alexander is not a general of the peasant army, and it is difficult to be defeated by the opponent with superior forces.

"We're marching southwest."

When Huo An learned that Alexander's army was nearby, he immediately changed the direction of his advance to avoid Alexander.

It's nothing to be defeated in the battle. If you can't fight, you can run away, but Huo An is unwilling to give Alexander military merit.

"Where is Chu Zimou? If I join him and regroup, the Romans will definitely look good to me."

Huo An brooded over the hatred of being attacked by the two Roman emperors.

Two Roman emperors bullied him, a lord similar to the governor of the Western Regions of the Han Empire, which was really invincible.

Huo An wants to find Chutian, and teach Constantine and Caesar a lesson.

Since Chutian wanted to merge the Protectorate of the Western Regions into his own territory, it was quite normal for the younger brother to be bullied by the Romans.
