Gao Huan saw the slow-moving cart from the telescope and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Li Pingyuan quickly picked up the telescope and looked at it. He found the "earth tank" that Gao Huan said. He was a little confused, "Your Majesty, this is the earth tank of Li Dingguo. I didn't expect that the Allies would learn it so quickly."

Gao Huan put down his telescope, "This thing is not difficult. It's just a table on a big cart, a wet quilt is covered on the table, and a piece of iron plate is placed if possible, without any technical content! The key to this thing is the idea, you can make it as you can think of it, and it is naturally not difficult for the Allies to copy it directly."

Having said that, Li Pingyuan and others still looked serious.

After all, they saw from the military newspaper that Li Dingguo and Zhou Fugui relied on this thing to break through the enemy's second line of defense and almost took down the enemy's three defenses.

"Your Majesty! This thing cannot be penetrated and the cannon cannot be broken. How can I deal with it?" Li Pingyuan asked.

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Try aiming with field cannons. The front of Li Dingguo's earth tank is not just a wooden board and a layer of quilt, but iron board and quilt, wooden board and quilt, which is a compound defense method. The enemy only learns its appearance, but may not be able to learn it inside! Then let the soldiers prepare more grenades and long wooden poles for emergency needs!"

After Li Pingyuan saluted, he immediately left the command center to make arrangements.

Soon, the artillery soldiers pulled the three-pound cannons and six-pound cannons along the trench to the front position, pushed them into the running position, and prepared to shoot in seconds.

The Allied artillery array poured out three rounds of artillery fire towards the front of the coalition forces, and the shelling stopped. The Allied army had already reached within two hundred steps in front of the coalition positions under the banquet of the earthen tanks.

At this time, on the frontier positions, the coalition's field artillery suddenly retreated and aimed at the enemy's earth tanks and shot them.

The coalition's field artillery was rifled, and the shells fired at a fast speed and the accuracy was more accurate than that of smoothbore artillery.

In fact, the research on rifled cannons in the West was earlier than that of the Qian Dynasty. They began to carve spiral rifles on the cannon bore for experiments in the 16th century. By the 17th century, rifled cannons had already appeared.

In 1694, in Nuremberg, Germany, a 51mm rifled gun was manufactured with 8 rifled guns.

Nowadays, there are rifled guns in the West, but new things naturally spread slowly and it will take some time to be accepted by people.

This is like a flintlock gun, which gradually replaced the combing gun decades after it came out.

The Qian Dynasty was different. After the technology of online bore guns made a breakthrough, Gao Huan's force intervened artificially and ordered the Ministry of War to purchase them, and a large number of orders were ordered to allow various manufacturing bureaus to continue to invest in research, so that the technology of rifled guns could surpass the West.

At this time, the shells roared out, straight and stable, and directly hit the enemy's earthen tanks.

The shells fell to the ground, splashed mud columns and jumped up. The shells hit the front of the earth tank. The front of the earth tank was quickly sunk, and the wooden boards inside were broken, and the splashed broken wood shot the people inside. The earth tank stopped immediately.

Gao Huan was right. The Allied Army was no better than the Qian Army and could not exert the subjective initiative of the soldiers, and soldiers of low castes would not think about how to fight this battle well.

Bahsh informed Aurangzeb of the earthen tank he met on the front battlefield, and Aurangzeb slapped his head and asked someone to follow him.

Bahsh just saw the appearance and roughly judged how he did it. The soldiers below did whatever they said, and even had a good time to work hard, and did not use their brains.

Therefore, the defense power of the earthen tanks they built was indeed insufficient. After a shot, many of them stopped moving.

When Aurangzeb saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown, "Didn't Bahsh say that such a big cart can't be penetrated, so won't the cannon be overturned?"

At this time, the bombardment of the dry army artillery had an effect. The front of many earthen tanks was smashed by shells. However, the western vehicle stopped for a while and was pushed forward by the Allied troops.

"Fight!" Li Yuanyin roared angrily, looking at the enemy troops rushing up, and fired a small officer.

"Dadada" Lianzhu machine gun fired. The machine gunners of the army were like Rambo, swinging the machine guns that were rotating the barrel in a coquettish manner. The machine guns spit out the gun flames, killing the enemy troops to fall to the ground in rows.

The soldiers of the Allies who rushed forward were swept down one by one. They were brave and fearless, but had no effect at all.

Aurangzeb was silent. Seeing the Allies' army being mowed by the fellows on the battlefield, he was already desperate, but he still did not order to stop the attack.

Smith and Mark looked pale. After a while, they felt hopeless to break through the defense line of the Ganjun. They left the command post and returned to the camp. They each wrote a long letter of tens of thousands of words to the country.

The content of the letters of the two were basically the same, and the general meaning was to describe the changes in the Gan Dynasty. The industrial revolution made the Gan army stronger and more terrifying. If the Europeans were no longer united, the Gan Dynasty would complete the Mongols' conquest of Europe.

Finally, both of them said that the battle in India had actually ended early, but they would fight to the last moment for the glory of the empire.

After Smith finished writing the letter, he called an officer, "Captain Will, bring this letter, return to London, and inform the king and the parliament of what happened here."

Captain Will took the letter and saluted Smith, "Yes! Commander!"

After speaking, he was a little reluctant to speak, but finally turned around and left the room and rode his horse towards Mumbai.

At dusk, the battlefield became quiet, and the wilderness in front of the coalition frontier positions were lying in layers of corpses and destroyed and burning chariots.

The Allied forces lost their offensive again, and lost more than 60,000 people in one day.

Such huge casualties shocked both sides of the war. In the next few days, the Allied forces' attacks remained huge, but they failed to break through the coalition's defense line.

After November, Aurangzeb was excited and organized another massive attack, and he still defeated the Gan Army every time.

At this time, the huge casualties had already fallen to the bottom of the Allies' morale, and the morale of the military was frustrated.

When the second day of the lunar month attacked, the Allied troops who had woken up began to hesitate when they heard the trumpet. Only the elite guards led by Aurangzeb launched another desperate charge.

At this point, the Allies were no longer able to organize a large-scale attack. The princes and nobles of the Mughal Empire believed that there was no hope for continuing the attack, and they all suggested withdrawing their troops and returning home.

Although if they don’t defeat the coalition forces now, they will be no match for the coalition forces after they are dispersed and will sooner or later be destroyed by Gao Huan, they will undoubtedly choose the latter between late death and early death.

In this case, Aurangzeb knew that he would definitely lose, so he was discouraged and wanted to escape back to Delhi.
