Chapter 1072 The Final Conquest (15)
Emperor Aurangzeb's eyes were red, and he braved the arrow and moved forward.
Inspired by the emperor's courage, the soldiers shouted "Allahu Akbar" and charged to death with all their might.
Aurangzeb looked at the 10,000 heavy cavalry beside him, preparing to join the battle after the infantry broke through the gap. Originally, the heavy cavalry was supposed to follow the charge after the elephants broke through the enemy formation, but because the elephants suffered all casualties, they could only
Can rely on infantry to open gaps.
"Change the formation!" Yang Huai, Duke of Ming Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, calmly ordered.
Generals Zhang Chengwu and Lin Jiading restrained their subordinates and transformed from square formations to square and round formations. One square formation after another formed a large circular formation, with the outer troops deployed layer by layer, with spears and firecrackers outside, swordsmen, shieldmen and cavalry inside, forming a dense formation.
Has extremely strong defense.
The Mughal infantry were first blocked by spears and then shot to death by fire cannons. Occasionally, brave men rushed in and were killed by sword and shield bearers and motorized cavalry in the formation.
More than an hour passed, and the Ming army was motionless under the siege of the Mughal army. Also in a stalemate were the right wings of both sides.
The deadlock was first broken on the left wing. Ma Bao and Bai Wenxuan's troops faced off against the left wing of the Mughal army, Tilly Khan's troops. As a famous Mughal general, Tiril Khan's offensive was extremely brave. Unfortunately, he encountered the more brave Ma Bao.
Treasure!
Seeing that the enemy on the left wing had the same old pattern of light cavalry in front and infantry behind, Ma Bao was angry. He led a thousand dead men, changed into a saber and chopped off the horse's legs. This saber was most suitable for dealing with cavalry, and it was all over the place at once.
The Mughal cavalry fell to the ground one after another. It looks easy to cut off the horse's legs, but it is very difficult to do. It requires the courage to remain calm even if the mountain collapses in front of you. Only a man of great wisdom and courage can't do it.
Ma Bao is a wise and brave man. His sword flew up and down, cutting the horse's legs into piles.
"So brave!"
Kokanro, the Mughal captain of ten thousand men, jumped up on his horse and held a gun, intending to stab Ma Bao.
"Go to hell", a fierce shot like a snake letter.
Ma Bao couldn't understand Tianzhu dialect, but judging from his expression, he knew it wasn't a nice word, it was nothing more than "I accept my fate" or "I want your life".
"Hmph, if you want to kill us, you have to be really capable." He sneered, turned his body sideways to avoid the long spear, smashed out the short whip hidden in his sleeve, and killed Wanfu Changke with one whip
Kanluo's head was smashed.
The cavalry on the left wing was chilled by the dead soldiers of the Ming army, and their momentum was depressed. Bai Wenxuan took the opportunity to lead his army and followed the dead soldiers to counterattack the Mughal army. The enemy was so frightened that they fled back.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tiril Khan led his personal guards to supervise the battle. Anyone who dared to retreat would be killed.
It's just that he underestimated the combat power of the deserters. There were pursuers in front of them, and under the supervision of the soldiers behind them, the deserters not only were not forced forward by the supervisors, but instead faced them from behind, and they fought their way out.
.
Deserters are the most ruthless, and supervising the battle is useless. Even Tyrell Khan himself was forced to retreat.
"Oh my God! How can I have the honor to see His Majesty?"
Just when he was worried about not having the face to see Aurangzeb, an arrow came to his rescue. The lightning-fast arrow shot through his throat. This time, he no longer had to worry.
??
On the right wing, Ming general Wang Sheng and Mughal general Mirza engaged in a fierce battle. Wang Sheng was originally the cavalry commander and had many cavalry men under his command, so he simply launched a cavalry confrontation with Mirza.
The sky is dark, the sun and the moon have no light, and the killing is inextricable for a while.
??
Aurangzeb was still attacking the center of the Ming army, but a torrent came from the left wing. Ma Bao and Bai Wenxuan defeated the main force of the enemy and arrived with 20,000 troops.
At this time, there were only 10,000 heavy cavalry and 5,000 infantry beside him.
"Heavy cavalry attack and crush the enemy," Emperor Aurangzeb issued a military order to General Chana.
"Yes, Your Majesty", Chana bowed and accepted the order.
"Father, I am willing to lead three thousand infantrymen to go with General Chana," the prince Azam Shah requested.
"You?"
When Aurangzeb heard this, he was a little reluctant to bear it. His youngest son had always been his heart and soul. What should he do if something went wrong? But so many generals were watching and if they disagreed, it would be too demoralizing." There was no other way but to
Agree.
The transfer of these 13,000 soldiers and horses meant that the emperor had no reserve troops except for 2,000 guards. He was very anxious and ordered General Asaf Jahi of the Chinese Army's front camp to quickly attack the Ming Army's central army.
; and urged the artillery battalion on Mount Cimini to quickly transport the cannon.
When the battle reached this level, Aurangzeb's heart was churning. He secretly regretted that he had fallen into the enemy's trick and was lured to a decisive battle far away from his own artillery. If there was an artillery battalion, how could his losses have been like this?
But there are no regrets in the world. As an emperor, the most important thing is to be good at controlling your emotions.
He said coldly: "Tell the artillery battalion that the cannon must arrive within two hours." This is actually impossible. Mount Cimini is indeed not high, but transporting the cannon down from the mountain is absolutely difficult. The Emperor's War
So I say this to boost our own morale. It's completely different psychologically if we have artillery or not.
The changes in the battlefield situation could not escape Yang Huai's eyes. After putting down his telescope, he keenly felt that Ma Bao and Bai Wenxuan defeated the right-wing Mughal army and rushed to the central battlefield. The situation between the enemy and ourselves had undergone fundamental changes.
In the footage, the departure of groups of heavy cavalry means that the enemy has no reserves.
Yang Huai has a reserve team beside him, an elite army of 10,000 people. He has been reluctant to use them. Now it is time to use them.
He summoned his general Xiao Chengyuan and Bao Yashan, "The time has come for you two to use force. I order you to fight the enemy bravely!"
Xiao Chengyuan and Bao Toshan led a reserve force of 10,000 people to recharge their batteries for a long time. After receiving the order, they quickly attacked the Mughals. Generals Zhang Chengwu and Lin Jiading followed closely. Yang Huai also wore armor and participated in the battle with two thousand personal guards.
In this battle, he used all the power he could.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
The Ming army's offensive was overwhelming, and the Mughal army could no longer resist it. No matter how hard Aurangzeb tried, he could not reverse the fate of defeat.
Deserters are everywhere, and generals are defeated.
Asaf Jahi died tragically in the rebellion; Azam Shah and Chana died in battle after being surrounded; Mirza surrendered after exhausting his strength.
Emperor Aurangzeb was tightly surrounded by the Ming army, rushing left and right, but could not break out. There were fewer and fewer personal guards around him, and more and more Ming troops surrounded him. The time came when all was exhausted, but he still retained his
Stay calm.
In any case, this is a respectable opponent, and Yang Huai decided to give him a decent face.
He galloped up to Aurangzeb and said, "I am Yang Huai, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's Southern Expedition. Do you have anything else to say?"
"I was careless in this battle and fell into your trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. However, you showed weakness to the enemy and deliberately retreated three miles. Your command was indeed outstanding." Aurangzeb sighed and stroked him habitually.
I grew my own white beard.
