Section 1191 Guns and armor

The heavy cavalry rushed to the positions of the Southeastern Army like a raging tide.

The Mughal army on the battlefield was mainly divided into three parts: left wing + center army + right wing. In the ranks of the Chinese army, the front row was the Mughal light infantry, whose role was to protect their own war elephants and strike at the opposing ones. In the second row are war elephants, whose role goes without saying, with huge hooves and strong trunks that are great weapons of killing; The last row was the elite heavy cavalry.

When the Mughal Chinese army attacked, the light infantry in the front row would be scattered in the front and back of the second row of war elephants and pressed the enemy together, and when the mixed forces of the war elephant light infantry successfully broke through the enemy line, the heavy cavalry in the last row would start to give the enemy the final fatal blow.

The arrangement of the flanks of the Mughal army was: light infantry + cavalry. The merits and role of cavalry on the flanks need not be repeated, and often played a decisive role on the Indian battlefield, and the Mughals ingeniously equipped their flank cavalry with a sufficient number of light infantry marksmen, which could effectively suppress the enemy light cavalry marksmen.

But this time the Mughals went against the norm and went directly to the heavy cavalry to charge into battle, trying to settle the country!

Imad Ahmed did not do it on a whim, but thought of the ferocity of the Chinese firearms, and the war elephants might not be able to resist it.

Against other forces, there will not be as many firearms as the Chinese, and the war elephants of the Mughal army are extremely powerful and the results are remarkable.

As for the light cavalry and cavalry infantry, Imad Ahmed thought about it again and again, with the protection of those people's cloth + skin, the Chinese had a 100% probability of knocking them down with lead bullets.

There was no possibility of using those forces to consume the gunpowder of the Chinese, and the city of Bombay was besieged for a long time, and as a result, the artillery and muskets were still very happy, which shows that the Chinese had sufficient ammunition.

Sending other troops to charge first, they were routed by the Chinese firearms, the impact was too bad, and the ability of firearms to continue fighting was amazing, unlike shooting twenty arrows with a bow and arrow, the archer's arm was sore, and he could not fight anymore.

Imad Ahmed had experimented with their reinforced heavy cavalry armor that could withstand the penetration of Chinese front-loading flintlock shotgun bullets!

The previous successful sneak attack on the city of Mumbai allowed them to harvest a lot of Chinese flintlock pistols, which were used for the test of guns and armor, and they figured out how thick the protective gear could be able to resist the opponent's bullets.

The Mughal heavy cavalry wore iron armor and leather armor, and the war horses were two- to three-layer vests, and these protective gear did play an effective role in protection.

The war horse neighed, the warrior roared, the strong man wins when the two males meet, and the brave wins.

Forward, heavy cavalry!

Due to the load, the speed is not fast, and it is also a load, which makes the heavy cavalry look majestic, and the ground shakes, and it is heavily pressed on the ...... The hearts of the Mughal chieftains.

But it could not suppress the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the southeast, who were extremely calm, because their leader was with them!

Where the aura of the leader is, all the people are full of confidence in victory, we are the first heroic army in the world!

On the position of the Southeastern Army, 5,000 marines were the central army, and the remaining 2,000 infantry and 3,000 naval personnel were scattered on the two flanks, and a dense battle formation was formed, including 36 6-pounder guns and 12 12-pounder guns.

Because it was not easy for the warship to carry, there were not many cannons, and when the opposing cavalry entered the range of 300 meters, the cannons opened fire, and the solid shells roared out.

The shells fell into the heavy cavalry group on the opposite side, and it seemed that they did not cause any damage.

Red flags were displayed in front of the front line of the Southeast Army, with the meaning of "150 meters marked!" ”

The 5,000 marines holding the Mazu artifact unhurriedly adjusted the gauge of the rifled guns in their hands, checked the guns, lifted them, and put them on their shoulders.

The ruler is equipped on a rifled gun!

The function of the gauge is to set different aiming distances, and the height of the shutter can be adjusted through the gauge.

The principle of the gauge ruler: because the trajectory of the bullet is similar to the parabola, and the sight line of the front sight and the gate is a straight line, in order to make the sight line intersect with the ballistic curve at a certain distance, it is slightly oblique, and the ruler can adjust the slope of the sight line to adapt to different ranges and ensure accurate shooting of the target.

After testing, the ruler set the number of different distances within the effective range of the firearm, and adjusted the ruler to the appropriate number, which also adjusted the height of the notch of the ruler. If the target is at a distance of 150 meters, the watch size should be adjusted to the 150 mark.

The spiral lines are engraved in the chamber of the gun, that is, the compound line, so that the fired warhead rotates forward at high speed, and increases the stability, range and penetration of the bullet flight; The gun was also equipped with a ruler to adjust the distance and aim, which greatly increased the shooting accuracy and quickly landed this terrible blow on the enemy!

The thunderous sound of hooves thundered again, and with a shout to the sky, five thousand iron horsemen and five thousand light horsemen poured down from the heights like a flood and swooped down, led by Imad Ahmad himself, to charge the enemy.

Adjutant General Merzoug wanted to do the job, but Imad Ahmed refused to allow it.

In the dry wind, the sand and rocks are flying, and the horse's hooves bring up countless smoke and dust.

As the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Gan Hui was not in command of the enemy, but an old officer in charge, he squinted his eyes, watched the enemy cavalry advance, and judged that it was exactly one hundred and fifty meters!

This officer's name is Sha Tonghai, his name is a bit funny, he is an artillery expert, he has an amazing ability to judge the distance, eight or nine is not far from ten, he has been tested, and the error of the distance he judges within five hundred meters is less than one meter!

As the flag in his hand fell, someone next to him immediately blew the whistle, and the sharp whistle of "B ......" resounded throughout the audience.

Firearms fired in rows!

Although the lead bullet was small, a shadow could be faintly seen, dragging a black trajectory towards the enemy's cavalry.

"Ahh A horseman covered his face with his hands, blood soaking from his fingers, dripping down, he neighed on horseback, and he couldn't help but shake his body and fall off his horse!

Horses rushed at each other, struggling and falling to the ground, and the cavalry screamed and fell.

To make matters worse, several cavalrymen were hit head-on and fell off their horses.

Their armor could not withstand the attacks of Chinese bullets!

Neither does the vest!

Imad Ahmed stepped forward and saw the elite Mughal cavalry rushing forward on the road, and his heart was dripping blood!

The opponent's shooting time was very well chosen, the heavy cavalry had already entered the narrow valley, and the soldiers were in danger, and they could only rush forward and not retreat.

People on their backs flipped over, some cavalry with a rapid charge, finally rushed to the front of the southeast army formation, the fierce cavalry who was not afraid of death drove the galloping horses and crashed over, in front of the spear stabbing array, the horses with frightened neighing, but could not stop the speed of the charge, crashed up!

With a roar, the huge war horse knocked down a bunch of people from the Southeast Army!

The firearms behind the "Bang Bang ......" phalanx fired at him indiscriminately on the left and right flanks, and the heavy cavalry's chests bloomed, and blood spread all at once.

"Ahh The cavalryman let out a last scream, and a spear was thrust into his waist, and the heavy armor could not resist it.

The Liao cavalry went forward one after another, but the firepower of the southeast army was extremely fierce, and it didn't take long for the position to be full of dead horses and corpses!

The cavalrymen who fell to the ground struggled and were hit by bullets, their armor was like paper, they could not resist it at all, and they fell to the ground immediately after being hit.

The hooves of the cavalry roared, and the yellow sand was in the sky! In the smoke, the firelight shone like starlight, and the roar, screams and shouts resounded through the mountains and rivers.

In the thick middle formation of Imad Ahmed, the Southeastern Army concentrated its fire on them,

As a result, the army collapsed piece by piece, crumbling at an alarming speed, and could no longer defend its own commander.

Imad Ahmed was shot several times in a row, only to feel a sharp pain in his heart, he looked down at his chest, there were several holes in the thick armor!

How is this possible?!

His armor is made by the master craftsmen of the empire, and he has done tests before, and he will not hurt anyone when he shoots random arrows at close range, and can resist lead bullets?

Why? Why?

The injury is attacking, this is a dummy bullet!

The veteran's eyes were dark, with countless unwillingness and incomprehension, returning to heaven!
