Li Laosi stood on a small mound in the middle of the grassland, observed the movements of the Indian coalition forces on the opposite side with a twenty-four times telescope, and sneered.

Putting down the binoculars, Li Laosi said to Li Dingguo: "Dingguo, the Indians are ready to attack our infantry fighting vehicles with land artillery brought from Europe. “

Li Dingguo Zhengse said: "Hitting a stone with an egg is ridiculous and ignorant. “

Mitsuhisa Shimazu, who was standing on the other side of Li Dingguo, laughed when he heard this. This Japanese prince has been a member of one town and nine provinces for many years, and now he has learned basic Chinese and can have a simple conversation with Li Laosi and Li Dingguo.

Mitsuhisa Shimazu said: "These Central Asian natives know nothing about power. “

Hearing Shimazu Mitsuhisa's words, Li Laosi was stunned. "I don't know anything about power" is what the prince Li Zhi has said a few times, but this Shimazu Mitsuhisa learned it very quickly and learned it all.

Li Laosi smiled and looked at the artillery positions of the Indian coalition forces again.

"What cannons do the Central Asians have?"

Li Dingguo said loudly: "Uncle! The Central Asians' own artillery is small and self-important, and it is not worth mentioning. Now the artillery brought to the front by the Central Asians was the European artillery sold to them by the Dutch and the British, mainly nine-pounder, eighteen-pounder and twenty-four-pounder. “

Li Laosi asked, "Is there a threat to us?" “

Li Dingguo licked his lips and said, "Uncle, our infantry fighting vehicles are advancing on the battlefield at a high speed of more than ten kilometers per hour, and it is extremely difficult to be hit. Moreover, although the frontal armor of the infantry fighting vehicle produced by the prince is not as thick as the tank, it is also 2.6 centimeters. The prince is wise and powerful, and since he sent infantry fighting vehicles to the Indian battlefield, he thinks that he can confidently restrain the firepower of the Indian coalition army. ”

"But ......"

Li Laosi asked, "But what?" “

Li Dingguo replied: "However, the last general has never seen the scene of smoothbore artillery and infantry fighting vehicles bombarding each other, so I don't know what the outcome will be?" “

Li Laosi nodded and said, "The hot air balloon immediately began to guide the artillery firing angle, and the large-caliber heavy artillery in the rear covered the shooting!" Cover the armored forces to break through! “

……

Six hundred infantry fighting vehicles were like six hundred unstoppable beasts, tearing the vegetation of the steppe to pieces with their tracks, advancing at high speed on the undulating meadows.

Behind the infantry fighting vehicle, 20,000 Tiger soldiers armed with shotguns followed the chariot and moved forward, getting closer and closer to the positions of the Persians, Ottomans, and Indians.

Abbas II on the hill felt that his breath was a little difficult. The rush of the steel behemoths made Abbas II feel a fear he had never experienced before. It was a sense of oppression brought about by a powerful force that transcended this era, and that kind of power that transcended time made people feel suffocated.

Powerlessness, a completely powerless suffocation, the only thing you can feel in the face of this suffocation is your own insignificance.

Koplulu was also nervous, sweat was already running down his forehead, and he didn't know if it was because of the heat or because of his inner restlessness. He stared through his binoculars at the six hundred chariots that pressed against him, his hands trembling imperceptibly.

Abbas II couldn't help himself at first, and when the infantry fighting vehicle was still four miles from the Indian coalition position, he waved his hand violently.

"Heavy artillery fire!"

"Concentrate all the heavy artillery and smash these vile chariots!"

A flag on the hill was raised alof, the Conch was violently blown, and fire immediately opened on the artillery positions of the Indian coalition forces.

The artillerymen from Central Asia had long since aimed their cannons at the pressing chariots, and as soon as the order arrived, the artillery from Europe immediately erupted tongues of fire.

The 600,000 Indian coalition forces probably had more than 2,000 artillery pieces of various types, and at this time, after Abbas II's adjustments, there were more than 1,200 artillery pieces arranged due south. Half of these guns were small nine-pounder guns, but there were also more than seven hundred eighteen-pounder, or even twenty-four-pounder heavy guns.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A deafening salvo of a thousand cannons! More than 1,000 shells were like a meteor shower, arcing in the sky, and shooting at 600 weapons that were ahead of their time.

Boss Wei, who was advancing with a small cannon behind the infantry fighting vehicle, saw the shells flying over, and his face froze.

"Everybody's down!"

Boss Wei's company collectively lay on the ground, and then they saw all kinds of round shells smashing on the grassland. The cannonball smashed on the grass or the dirt destroyed by the tracks, making a loud tom sound, and with a few bounces, countless dirt splashed out.

However, in reality, the hit rate of the shells was very low. Six hundred infantry fighting vehicles stretched out the width of the battlefield four miles wide, and auxiliary infantry like Wei Boss was hanging in different wide areas behind the chariots, so the bombardment density of more than 1,000 shells was actually not high, and it did not hit a few auxiliary attack soldiers.

Of course, there were also lucky shells that fell on infantry fighting vehicles. Boss Wei saw an infantry fighting vehicle shot fifty meters away on the right. A round buckshot smashed into the front of the chariot, causing huge sparks on the steel armor. The sparks shot out of the massive metal crash were as large as a firework from the head of the chariot.

The chariot jerked forward, and the speed of its advance suddenly stopped.

However, when the shell was bounced away, Boss Wei found that the vehicle had not been pierced by the shell. Although a noticeable depression appeared in the front of the tank, it is clear that the combat effectiveness of the tank was not affected.

The 2.6 cm stainless steel plate is more than 40 cm thick in terms of defensive capabilities of the hardwood hull. In the naval battles of this era in Europe, none of the forty-pounder cannons on the battleship could penetrate the battleship's hardwood hull. Although the hulls of European battleships were generally more than 70 centimeters, it was extremely difficult for a 24-pounder gun to penetrate the 2.6 centimeters of frontal steel armor of an infantry fighting vehicle.

Six hundred infantry fighting vehicles rushed forward with unabated momentum under heavy artillery fire.

On the hill, Abbas II saw clearly the futility of the artillery, and his face began to turn a little pale.

He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with his hands, gritted his teeth and thought about what to do.

At this moment, the heavy artillery in the rear of the Tiger Army opened fire.

Twenty-four pounder rifled guns, under the command of a hot-air balloon observer, opened heavy fire on the artillery positions of the Indian coalition forces.

The bullets fired from the rifled guns flew over a distance of eight miles, drew a parabola in a huge arc in the air, and smashed near the European artillery of the Central Asian artillery. Fireworks exploded on the positions of the Indian coalition forces.

The artillery of the Indian coalition army was hidden in the trench, and it was unlikely that a shell fired from eight miles away would directly hit the artillery trench several meters wide, but the violent explosion of the flowering shell caused great confusion to the Indian artillery. The huge smoke and dirt from the flowering shells covered the Indian artillerymen's vision like a fog, and it didn't take long for the artillerymen to gradually lose their target.

The Indian artillery did not observe the hot air balloon and soon went silent.

On the hill, Bardip's mouth opened wide, and his face turned white as he looked at the infantry fighting vehicles rushing over the steppe.

Koplulu gasped violently, as if under unbearable pressure.

Abbas II jerked a few steps forward until he reached the edge of the cliff before stopping. He gritted his teeth, glared sharply, and shouted: "All the soldiers in the south abandon the trenches, bring bombs and gunpowder, and rush up to fight the chariots of the Ming Kingdom in melee combat!" “
