Chapter 896 Battle 2

It's also thanks to the long range of these longbowmen, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to fight back.

And now, after a difficult charge, they finally came within their range.

However, because of the sprint, they were all a little short of breath at this time.

The comrades beside him were still falling one after another, and these people couldn't care less about panting, they took out their arrows and started to fight back.

However, at this time, nearly one-third of them have fallen.

They could shoot a rain of arrows, but now the arrows they shoot are sparse, without the momentum and deterrence they had before.

What's more terrible is that at the moment when they were shooting arrows, they fell a lot of people.

It took some time for their arrows to fall into the Chinese army, but what made them collapse was that the Chinese army did not fall too many people.

Hua Jun was wearing an iron helmet, and unless those arrows hit Hua Jun's body, they could only cause a slight concussion to Hua Jun.

This kind of injury doesn't even need to go down to rest.

As for those who were shot in the body, they were only injured, not fatal.

"Heavy Gunner, increase your firepower."

The Chinese army still thinks that their firepower is not strong enough, because they want to quickly defeat the enemy's fighting spirit, so that the opponent will not even have a chance to hurt them.

Hearing this, the machine gunner no longer considered saving ammunition, and directly opened fire.

More Mughal soldiers fell, and finally, the archers collapsed and chose to turn and run away. Some people even throw away their bows and arrows, lest they affect their escape speed.

They turned around and fled, and directly collided with the infantry who were still advancing, and many of them wrestled and cursed at each other.

"Run away, we are not their opponents."

Some deserters would kindly give these infantry some reminders, but these infantry did not take it seriously.

These infantrymen envy, envy, and despise these archers.

Because the treatment of archers is very good, and when fighting, they only need to shoot the bows and arrows to retreat to the rear, and their sword and shield soldiers are responsible for the bloody hand-to-hand combat.

Therefore, they envy and envy the treatment of the archers, and look down on the attributes of the archers who are afraid of death and cannot fight tough battles.

Most of the sword and shield soldiers did not listen to the words of the archers and chose to continue charging.

However, their end was much more miserable than that of the archers.

At any rate, the archers still have the power to fight back, and they are moving targets one by one.

And there is not just one person shooting the target, but a group of people.

A, who aimed at him, missed, and B, who probably missed him, shot him.

There are stray bullets everywhere, and the dead don't know how they died.

After rushing for a certain distance, they realized that something was wrong, and then their morale collapsed, and they turned and ran away.

Because the archers are far away from the Chinese army, they can quickly escape the shooting range of the Chinese army.

But these sword and shield soldiers, because they rushed too close, they couldn't escape the range of the Chinese army when they fled.

The bullets continued to pour on them, and they fell in a large number.

On the Chinese army's position, these soldiers from Changzhou Province laughed wantonly.

People who have been bullied by others generally like to bully others again to divert resentment.

Anyway, these people are very devoted to bullying Mughal soldiers now.

Seeing that the enemy had completely collapsed and fled, they also chose to take the initiative to catch up, enjoying the thrill of chasing and killing defeated soldiers.

"Order those people not to chase too deeply, don't act like you haven't won a battle."

The Han officer in this brigade complained that chasing too deep is easy to be surrounded.

Moreover, there is no need for them to pursue, anyway, this is a decisive battle, and there will be more fights to come.

After the order was issued, those Fusang soldiers who were chasing had no choice but to stop their pursuit regrettably, giving the defeated soldiers who fled in a hurry a way out.

The Mughal Empire suffered a great loss in this battle between the forwards.

After retreating to a safe place, General Marata counted the losses and almost fainted on the spot.

The vanguard army of 10,000 people directly lost more than 6,000 people in this short contact battle, including nearly 1,500 archers.

Most of these 6,000 people were killed by the Chinese army, and a small number took advantage of the chaos to become deserters.

The battle damage was too great, far beyond Maratha's expectations.

Soon, the battle situation on their side was passed to the ears of Aurangzeb in the rear.

Aurangzeb simply ordered Maratha to be arrested and executed in public.

Aurangzeb did not listen to Maratha's explanation. No matter how many reasons Maratha had, it could not change the fact that he had disabled an army.

After killing people, Aurangzeb began to study the next decisive battle with his subordinates.

Judging from the fighting situation of the forwards, they underestimated the firepower of the Chinese army.

Now that the latest information has been obtained, it is natural to make corresponding adjustments.

"I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight. The key lies in how to get close to the enemy. As long as we can rush in front of the enemy and enter hand-to-hand combat, we can exert a huge advantage in numbers and win without a doubt.

The difficult thing now is how to rush to the enemy. According to intelligence, the enemy's shooting range is three times that of our archers. It's too far, it's not easy to walk on this road. "

Aurangze

As Bu said, he hoped that his subordinates could come up with some useful suggestions.

"There is no good way, we can only fill it with human life. Let the infantry push the chariot forward, at most 20,000 to 30,000 people will die. As long as they can rush to the enemy, this loss is acceptable."

A general said, and then Aurangzeb glared at him and cursed an idiot in his heart.

If losing 20,000 to 30,000 people can rush to the front of the Chinese army, of course he is willing.

But the problem is that people are not animals, they will think and be afraid, and if the casualties are too heavy, they will run away.

Not to mention people, even animals will escape.

"The superintendent team, use the death order to force those Sudras to advance, and kill those who dare to retreat."

Another general, Jadba, added that he meant to let the untouchables be cannon fodder. Anyway, those untouchables are worthless, and they don't dare to disobey orders, so they are very useful cannon fodder.

The most important thing is that Jadba can't think of a better way, he can only think of using cavalry or cannon fodder.

Cavalry is too precious to be sent out casually, so the only way left is to use cannon fodder.

"You can also use the arrow bed to shoot at the Chinese army and kill the enemy."

Bahadu said.

Everyone brainstormed, but only made adjustments in details, but did not come up with any creative tactics.

It was only their first time fighting the Chinese army, and they hadn't had time to study it, so naturally they couldn't think of any good ways.
