Chapter 565 Elephant soldiers? Just barbecue ingredients!
Finally, a leather chariot suffered too many blows, and the wooden boards at the back cracked, and then the chariot fell apart.
However, this tank has at least completed its mission.
The Mughal soldiers rushing in front were less than a hundred meters away from the Ming army.
If you sprint with all your strength, it only takes ten seconds.
Chariots only reduced the damage of Mughal soldiers on the charge to a certain extent.
There were many soldiers who were not actually enveloped by the chariots.
Moreover, the only people the chariot can protect are the soldiers in front. Soldiers behind who are too far away from the chariot can be shot by the Ming army's bullets.
What's interesting is that some of the tanks actually broke through the barbed wire fence with their weight!
If barbed wire and machine guns made cavalry fall off the stage of history, then barbed wire and machine guns jointly contributed to the emergence of tanks.
The Mughal's thick leather chariot acted somewhat like a tank.
Therefore, the charge of the Mughal army was better than the last time, but that was it. Most of the leather chariots could not get close to the barbed wire.
Under the firepower of the Ming army and the obstruction of barbed wire, they still suffered heavy casualties.
Moreover, as the distance gets closer, the situation becomes worse and worse.
Immediately afterwards, their remaining five or six artillery pieces completed the second round of firing.
The Ming army's mortars had already let go of the Mughal artillery, and aimed their muzzles at the charging infantry.
The Mughal soldiers also started the final sprint under the scolding of the officers.
Those who rushed to the front were naturally those Sudras.
Their lives are worthless, and even Shudras themselves agree with this concept in their hearts.
A large number of Shudras blocked the bullets with their bodies and provided cover for those behind.
At one point, they rushed within 20 meters of the Ming army. Then the Ming army threw a wave of grenades and drove back the group that rushed forward.
But then, their second wave rushed up again.
"These people really don't want their lives. Fortunately, there are enough grenades."
A grenadier from the Guards complained.
The fact that he is still in the mood to complain means that the situation is still under control.
The Guards' defense line is very deep. Even if the enemy has not rushed into the first line of defense, even if it does, it will not be able to continue to break through.
This time Gao Meng got his wish and fired the first shot. It was so fun to play troll!
"Hey, look, they retreated."
"This is normal, I'm used to it."
The Mughal charging army retreated. They really could not withstand such heavy casualties.
The Guards did not pursue it, although pursuing it at this time was a good opportunity to expand the victory.
But there is no need to do this. It would be dangerous if the enemy suddenly turns around and fights hard.
If they pursue them, they will certainly not be able to bring artillery with them, and their firepower will be greatly weakened.
Once entangled by the enemy and locked in hand-to-hand combat, the Mughal army could take advantage of their strength.
In this case, it is better to stick to the position, wait for the enemy's next charge, and constantly consume the enemy.
"Your Majesty the Governor, the Chinese army failed to charge forward, as did the left and right wings. Our chariots were destroyed and the artillery was also destroyed."
The subordinates reported to Shaista Khan, and Shaista Khan's face turned dark after hearing this.
He couldn't understand why the Ming army could not defeat them despite being so small in number.
When it comes to bravery, these "Beijing Camp" from Agra are already considered brave!
"Charge again. Let the cavalry on the left wing be dispatched and the elephant soldiers on the right wing be dispatched. If the artillery is gone, I will also put the trebuchets on me, and let's do it in one go."
150,000 vs. 30,000. The superiority will kill me. Shaista Khan does not want to retreat and has no way out.
Although the losses are heavy now, the soldiers in the battle don't know the extent of the losses, so their morale has not dropped too much.
Once they retreat, all soldiers will know: Our army has been defeated!
Just when Shaista Khan gave the order, a black solid suddenly fell from the sky.
It was the precise bombing of the Royal Air Force of the Ming Dynasty!
As Shaista Khan looked on, his luxurious chariot was blown to pieces!
Shaista Khan swallowed his saliva. Fortunately, God bless him and saved his life.
He thought to himself: Mingren must be a devil. He can actually go to heaven. It's so terrifying. Who did the Mughals provoke?
"Why are you still standing there, attack quickly!"
After coming back to his senses, Shaista Khan knew that he could not give his subordinates time to think. When people think, their thoughts are prone to problems.
As Shaista Khan's order was issued, the frontal army once again launched a death charge, but the main purpose changed from breaking through the defense line to containing the Guards.
He placed his hopes of attacking the fortress on the cavalry on the left and the elephant soldiers on the right.
There are more than 30,000 cavalry on the left wing, which is a very terrifying force, at least Shaista Khan thinks so, because some barbed wire fences have been broken by chariots, giving the cavalry some room to play.
The cavalry began to charge, and the elephant soldiers on the right wing also led the infantry to charge.
However, in front of the Guards, these elephants are just a piece of meat.
"I haven't eaten elephant meat yet, I'm in for a treat tonight."
"Then you may be disappointed. Elephant meat is very unpalatable. Generally speaking, the larger the animal, the older and more unpalatable the meat is."
An old squad leader of the Guards who had fought in the conquest of Toungoo Kingdom showed off his knowledge, but others did not believe it at all, thinking that elephant meat must be a delicacy.
Just as he was talking, the elephant soldiers had already entered the shooting range.
The Ming Dynasty's black tornado rockets and minigun shells from electromagnetic rifles hit these "delicacies" as the Guardsmen called them.
Suddenly, the elephants let out a huge wail, which echoed throughout the battlefield.
The elephant hit by the rocket was fine, but fell down immediately.
Those elephants that were hit by one or two bullets and were injured but did not fall down immediately caused great trouble to the Mughal soldiers.
These elephants were out of control. No matter how commanded by the trainers above, the injured and mad elephants ignored them and ran rampant in the army. Even the Ming Dynasty's barbed wire fence could not stop them.
The impact of this elephant is much more terrifying than that of a horse.
Everywhere he went, there was a mess.
They also wanted to use elephants to attack the Ming army, but they ended up scattering their own army!
"Don't use the rockets too hard, leave a few intact for barbecue after the battle!"
"Squad leader, you can't drink during the war!"
"You brat, don't you know? Isn't it enough to just eat meat?"
Some Guards officers have already planned tonight's supper in such a cruel battlefield.
The Guards have become accustomed to the horrors of the era of thermal weapons, which are complete war machines.
The cavalry and elephant soldiers stampeded on each other, and the Mughal army was in chaos.
There were body parts and minced meat everywhere.
Only Qian Yan sighed secretly: "They are all slaves, so they are wasted!"
