Before the deputy general finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by the commander of the royal heavy cavalry. He hurriedly shut up and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Sigh, although the royal heavy cavalry is very powerful, it may not be able to match the sharp weapons. It's hard to persuade the damn ghost with words..."

The cavalry commander did not take the lieutenant's suggestion to heart at all, and shouted loudly:

"Warriors, cut off the head of a Ming army, be promoted to one level, and be rewarded with ten gold coins. The first and second teams of the royal heavy cavalry, kill them for me!"

With an order, two thousand-man teams of the Mughal royal heavy cavalry quickly attacked...

"Rush, kill the bright dog..."

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the royal heavy cavalry was the Mughal army that founded the country. They howled and shouted, urging their horses to charge towards the Ming army's formation.

To be honest, the Mughal royal heavy cavalry are very majestic, and they are also the elite of the national cavalry. They all wear three layers of armor. They have been invincible in the past, and bows and arrows cannot hurt them at all.

The two thousand-man troops were also charging with great force, looking even more majestic than the Eight Banners of Jiannu.

The vast wilderness in front of them rolled like a torrent of iron cavalry. Under the sun, the Mughal iron cavalry was flowing with a cold luster, approaching quickly like a vast ocean.

Li Shouting drew out the sword from his waist, pointed diagonally in the air, and issued an order:

"Musketeers, prepare to shoot!"

"Here!"

The musketeers received the order and immediately raised their guns to aim at the Mughal cavalry rolling in front of them.

At the same time, the artillerymen behind the phalanx had already stuffed mortar shells into the barrels:

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"...

The artillery commander gave the order, and the Ming army mortars began intensive bombardment.

Cannonballs flew rapidly towards the torrent of Mughal heavy armored cavalry.

In an instant, hundreds of artillery shells exploded in the fast-impacting cavalry, just like hitting the sea water, except that the splash was not a wave of water, but a wave of meat sauce and blood...

No matter whether the horse was wearing armor or not, the cannonball exploded under the horse's belly, instantly gutting the horse. Amid the whine of the horse, the cavalry were also blown away and shattered.

Some of the cavalrymen who were not killed fell into the torrent of cavalry and were immediately trampled to pieces by the iron hoofs of the horses coming up from behind.

After several rounds of shelling, the two thousand-man Royal Heavy Cavalry that Asan was so proud of suffered more than half of their casualties in an instant...

They had only seen iron cannons firing solid bullets, but today was the first time they saw explosive shells.

The face of the Mughal royal heavy cavalry commander changed drastically, and the coach Temuti also looked confused...

"How is that possible?"

"How come the Ming army has such powerful artillery? We must strengthen our offensive..."

The Mughal cavalry is indeed an important weapon of the Mughal Kingdom. Although the Ming army's shelling caused heavy casualties to them, the cavalry was still attacking rapidly...

The commander who was commanding from behind finally saw some clues, and he hurriedly said to Temuti:

"Prime Minister, the royal heavy cavalry must attack in a scattered manner, not in a concentrated attack..."

Only then did the Mughal Prime Minister react and hurriedly issued an order:

"Oh, right..."

"Quickly pass the order, let the heavy cavalry disperse and attack, and then go up to the three thousand-man team..."

"Da da da..."

Temuti gave an order, and another three thousand people rushed forward quickly. This time they did not charge intensively, but formed small teams and quickly dispersed towards the Ming army's formation.

The surrendered soldiers all had their eyes widened and looked at the battlefield nervously. They all knew that the Mughal royal heavy cavalry was extremely fierce and had never been defeated...

However, they also knew that Ming's father was far more powerful than artillery. It was Ming's musketeers who killed more Mughal soldiers at close range.

No matter whether you charge in a scattered manner or in a concentrated manner, as long as you enter the shooting range, you will be finished.

"Rumble..."

The Ming army launched another two rounds of shelling. Although many Mughal royal heavy cavalry were killed, the effect was very small compared to before.

"Keep firing!"

Seeing the Mughal royal heavy cavalry getting closer and closer to the phalanx, the mortars fired more intensively:

"Swish swish...'

"Rumble..."

Mortars can be used in conjunction with rifles, which is a tactic the Ming army is good at using.

Seeing that the Santie cavalry's attack was effective, they quickly rushed more than 300 steps in front of the Ming army's formation, and the Mughal generals all smiled.

They seemed to see the Ming army's formation being dispersed by the Mughal cavalry in an instant, and then being arbitrarily hacked to death by the imperial iron...

"Rumble..."

…

The ideal was very fulfilling, but the reality was very disappointing. When they entered the two hundred paces, three square formations, fifteen thousand rifles, began to fire in three rows:

"Bang bang bang..."

…

Even if they dispersed their attacks, the continuous fire of Mingshen guns and rifles still caused huge casualties to them. At the same time, mortars also exploded continuously in the heavy cavalry formation...

The iron armor and flesh and blood collapsed together. In the crazy wave of impact, they were submerged, torn to pieces, and finally wrapped in sticky flesh...

Even so, the Mughal heavy cavalry regiments are still charging wildly. They fully demonstrate the momentum of the royal elite and are more powerful than any previous Mughal army!

However, it is a pity that bravery and invincibility have become a thing of the past. In the face of the hot weapons of the Ming army, bravery can only represent huge casualties.

The three musket phalanxes of the Ming army kept firing, and there were mortar bombardments behind the phalanxes. The cavalry in front could not move even an inch, and the cavalry team in the rear was being bombed...

The overall combat effectiveness of the Mughal cavalry began to decline, but each of them was a soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles and was not defeated.

They also have honor in their hearts. As the emperor's imperial guards, the royal heavy cavalry also have their own pride.

"kill……"

The Mughal Royal Heavy Cavalry Regiment burst out with astonishing fighting spirit. Regardless of their comrades who were beaten into sieves around them, they still shouted and charged desperately.

The elites of the two empires collided head-on like two giant waves of steel outside the city of Delhi, launching a fierce charge and counterattack.

Human flesh and blood was torn and twisted in the forest of swords, swords and steel barriers, and every life was killed and withered...

The entire battlefield turned into a huge meat grinder!

Of course, in the head-to-head confrontation between the elites of the two countries, the Ming army clearly had a greater advantage and soon showed a crushing advantage.

About two sticks of incense, more than 5,000 Mughal armored cavalry suffered casualties. The cavalry rushing in front were wiped out by the Ming army...

Despite this, the Mughal Royal Cavalry did not collapse and continued to charge forward...

The predecessors of the military nobles of the Mughal Empire were mostly Mongols, but also Turks and Persians.

The first two are specialized in cavalry. Two thousand years ago, the Persians also attached great importance to cavalry.

Therefore, in the military establishment of the Mughal Empire, most of them were cavalry, and the Mughal infantry were like weaklings, all low-caste untouchables.

The natural environment of the Indian subcontinent is favorable, with abundant food production and abundant grasslands. It is common to feed crops to horses.

But now most of the Mughal cavalry have low combat effectiveness, and they are no longer the powerful Mughal cavalry regiment before.

Only the secret weapon of Mughal Khan Shah Jahan, the royal heavy cavalry, still maintains extremely strong combat effectiveness.

The combat effectiveness of the Mughal royal heavy cavalry indeed exceeded Li Shouting's expectations. In the past, the Ming Dynasty had basically easily defeated armies dominated by cold weapons.

Before attacking Delhi, Li Shouting thought that the Mughal royal heavy cavalry would not be able to hold out for long, and the Ming army would inevitably flee as soon as the guns were fired.

Only now did he discover that the loyalty of the Royal Heavy Cavalry to the Mughal royal family was different from what he had imagined.

Of course, Li Shouting was not worried about the lack of firepower of the Ming army. No matter how brave the Mughal royal heavy cavalry were, as long as they dared to charge, they would eventually fall in front of the Ming army.

This kind of war is a war between primitiveness and civilization, and it is also a battle between primitiveness and science.

Under the terrible firepower of the Ming army, the Mughal cavalry fell down row after row, and the horses and their owners fell together, letting out a sad cry...

After another two sticks of incense, the corpses of the Mughal cavalry were already scattered over a radius of a kilometer.

Seeing how desperate the royal heavy cavalry was, the Mughal commander decided to support them. With an order, 50,000 infantrymen armed with weapons attacked the Ming army.

Their infantry originally waited for the cavalry to defeat the Ming army before advancing, but now it seems that if the infantry does not attack, the royal heavy cavalry may be completely wiped out.

There is also a firearms battalion among their infantry. This firearms battalion does not participate in wars at ordinary times. They are the palace guard of the Mughal Khan.

There was no way now. In order to defeat the Ming army, the prime minister asked them all to join the battle.

The range is not as good as that of the Ming army. Their firearms battalion is of little use now. Thousands of people have been killed by the Ming army before they have entered the flintlock range, and mortar shells continue to explode in the formation...

In order to kill and injure the Ming army, the Mughal firearms battalion had no choice but to get close to the Ming army, otherwise the flintlocks would become fire sticks.

As long as they advance fifty steps further, the flintlock guns in their hands will be effective.

But the distance of fifty steps caused the Mughal firearms battalion to pay a heavy price. More than half of the Mughal firearms battalions soon suffered casualties. The infantry charging behind the firearms battalion suffered more than 10,000 casualties...
