Chapter 196: Contempt
By the time the Persian Emperor Abbas II rushed to the place where the horses were stopped, there was not a single horse left. The only thing left at the stop was the empty hitching stakes, and the pungent smoke from the explosion of the flowering bombs.
Abbas II looked in horror at the twenty-odd infantry fighting vehicles that had been rapidly outflanked from both flanks, and shivered at the barrels of the Gatling guns on those vehicles.
The Ottoman Prime Minister Koplulu also knew that he was in danger, and looked left and right in horror, having lost all his composure. He didn't say a word to the other nobles around him, but fled in the direction of the west, which was not surrounded by chariots.
But he was so flustered that he fell to the ground after taking a few steps, and rolled several laps on the hillside.
The Indian prince Bardeep was a little bloody, and he suddenly got up at the moment of life and death, when he was lying on the ground and crying. He wiped away his tears and yelled at the nobles around him: "There is a way to escape from the mountain, we rely on the mountain to hold behind the rocks, and if the chariot dares to come up, blow it up with a powder keg!" ”
When the nobles heard Bardeep's words, it was as if they had suddenly found their hearts. They glanced at Bardeep and saw that the tall Indian maharaja had a calm look in his eyes, and they really acted according to Bardeep's call.
More than 600 soldiers from more than 30 nobles were mobilized and began to carry rocks to block a relatively gentle slope on the east side of the hill, trying to survive on the hill.
Abbas II looked at the situation of Bardeep's organization, did not say a word, only held on to a rock and trembled.
How could a wise man like Abbas II fail to see the pointlessness of this stubborn resistance?
In fact, the miscellaneous troops that had been routed on the battlefield no longer had any strategic significance, and now the commanders of the infantry fighting vehicle units were only concerned with how to capture and kill the Central Asian nobles on the hills. So more and more chariots began to outflank the hill where the base camp of the Indian coalition army was located, and soon, the small hill was surrounded by more than seventy chariots.
More than seventy rear-loading guns with black holes were aimed at the nobles on the mountain.
Bardip was pointed at the barrel of the cannon, a little breathless, and yelled: "Bomb them!" ”
In fact, the Ottomans, India, and Persia also had grenades. This bomb is round, the casing is made of iron, and there is an arquebus fuse at the upper end, which is lit with an open flame when used and can explode when thrown.
There are actually a lot of such shots in Hollywood's Age of Sail movies, where many pirate captains are holding round bombs with fuses. This round bomb was simple to make, efficient and practical, and was widely spread in Europe and Central Asia in the seventeenth century.
There are quite a few such bombs on the hills. At Bardeep's shouting, many nobles and soldiers lit bombs and threw them at the infantry fighting vehicles down the mountain.
However, such efforts are undoubtedly grasshoppers.
Most of the bombs exploded on the hillside, and occasionally a few rolled to the side of the chariot at the foot of the hill, and it did not damage the chariot's armor more than two centimeters thick.
The tanks completed the encirclement, and the artillery began to fire at the hill.
More than seventy breech-loading guns began to bombard the small hill at a rate of more than ten seconds, and the area where the nobles were located suddenly burst into flames.
The people on the hill soon found that there was no point in resisting, and all of them lay down behind the rocks to avoid the artillery fire.
Twenty infantry fighting vehicles started their tracks and began to press towards the top of the hill.
The nobles on the mountain secretly moved their eyes to the corner of the rock, and looked with horror at the approaching steel chariot. They were amazed to find that the ability to pass through a tracked vehicle far exceeded that of an ordinary vehicle. Although the gentlest eastern slope of the hill was blocked with rocks, the chariot used a zigzag walk to slowly advance from the southeast direction of the hill to the mountain.
Bardeep opened his mouth wide as he watched as the chariot circled a little around his right.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters away.
The Gatling gun on the right side of the chariot was aimed at a rock where Bardeep was located.
"Dada
As the chariot made its way up the hill, it used machine guns to fire at the Central Asian nobles behind the stones.
Large-caliber machine gun bullets are extremely penetrating, and machine guns fired from the side can often shoot through some rocks, killing Central Asian nobles and personal soldiers behind them. As the chariots moved further and further up the hill, the Gatling guns fired at wider angles, and one by one, the Central Asians who were caught under the fire from the mountains and the machine guns from the mountains fell down.
The old man of the Ottoman Empire, Koplulu, has lost all his sense of proportion, and only wants to save his life under the guns of the steel chariot. Cloaked in mud, he desperately climbed to the top of the hill, trying to dodge the machine-gun bullets that were getting closer and more accurate. However, his luck was not good, and as he crawled, suddenly a flowering bomb smashed down on his right side.
With a loud bang, shrapnel from the flowering bullet pierced the right chest of the Ottoman prime minister, and the old man was hit hard, screaming and rolling up the hillside, and finally rolled down a steep slope.
Baldip's eyes widened as he looked at the blown up Koplulu and found that he had nowhere to hide.
He was on the ground with a powder cartridge in his hand. Taking advantage of the fact that a machine gun thirty meters away did not fire at him, he jumped up sharply and rushed to the infantry fighting vehicle with a powder keg.
He wanted to take an infantry fighting vehicle with him before he died.
However, his efforts were meaningless, the fire of the infantry fighting vehicles was crossed. Although the infantry fighting vehicle in front of him did not shoot at him, a machine gun next to him immediately spotted him as a threat. A steady stream of machine-gun bullets shot at Bardeep like chains, and the powder cartridge in the Indian maharaja's hand was ignited by the incoming bullets.
Rumble!
A huge explosion exploded between the rocks, and a mushroom cloud rose from the mountain, and Bardeep's body was blown to minced flesh.
Bardeep's death made the nobles and soldiers on the mountain tremble violently, and completely gave up the idea of resistance.
Hiding behind a large tree, Abbas II took off the lining of his robe, held it high in his hands, and showed that he had begged to surrender.
Seeing that Abbas II had surrendered, the other Central Asian nobles raised their white clothes to indicate their surrender.
Infantry fighting vehicles stopped firing.
Being able to catch it alive is, of course, more valuable than transporting the body back. Hundreds of Tiger soldiers stepped out of their chariots and began to capture these powerful Central Asian nobles.
Abbas II had been completely defeated by the Han Chinese army. He trembled all over, and didn't even dare to look up when the Tiger Benjun was seriously ill and tied up his hands, but kept chanting something in his mouth. It seems to be begging for the life of the victors, and it seems to be repenting for its own ignorance and ignorance.
Abbas II was grabbed by a squad leader of the Tiger Army, and he looked at the Persian emperor, who had been invincible yesterday, and smiled contemptuously.
