Chapter 308: The Mughal Army Attacks

On the steppes of Central Asia, the Mughal Empire's army waved its flags, and groups of well-equipped Mughal warriors lined up in a neat formation and slowly advanced forward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoMughal Crown Prince Bahadur Shah rides on an elephant, and beside him, the position of the general Amir, who is also riding an elephant, is a little behind him to the right.

Amir's war elephant quickened his pace, almost tied with the crown prince. Amir turned his head and said, "Respected Highness the Crown Prince, those Turkic people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they have been defeated several times in a row, and they even dare to challenge the imperial army!" ā€

Bahadur Shahaha laughed: "We built the castle because the supply lines were long, which was not conducive to the transportation of food and ammunition. Who knew that those stupid Turks actually gave up the castle and took the initiative to go out of the city to challenge, then don't blame us! Pass my order, the three armies advance and crush the enemy! ā€

Originally, the Mughal Empire's armies entered Central Asia because their supply routes had to pass through the Pamir Plateau, which was difficult to terrain. In Afghanistan, the mountains are crisscrossed, the terrain is difficult to navigate, and the vehicles transporting food and ammunition are difficult to walk, and all the transportation of supplies must be carried by camels and donkeys. If the Turks in Central Asia occupied the castle and could not hold on, the Mughal army, which had difficulty transporting, would be reluctant to consume precious gunpowder and cannonballs to attack the fortified castle, so they could only recruit local men and build the castle step by step.

Who knew that more than ten days ago, the Turks of the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate, who did not know what medicine they had taken wrongly, actually jumped out of the castle and openly challenged the invincible army of the Mughal Empire.

The Turkic army abandoned the fortified castle and took the initiative to challenge the Mughal army, which was great news for Bahadur Shatzi. Originally, the Indians were at a loss for those fortified Central Asian castles and did not know how to gnaw off these turtle shells, but now the enemy has abandoned the castles and taken the initiative to attack, which is simply a credit falling from the sky.

Although Hinduism was suppressed by the emperor of the Celestial Sect, the caste system was not abolished among the Indians. The Celestial Emperor, who advocated the equality of all men, could not change the solid caste system among the Hindustani, who made up the majority of the population in the South Asian subcontinent, and could only turn a blind eye to the caste system of the Indians. Among the Hindus, it was the Kshatriyas who were qualified to serve as soldiers, and they needed to show themselves to the emperor of the Celestial Sect.

To tell the truth, Bahadur Shah, like his father Aurangzeb, really looked down on those Hindus from the bottom of his heart, even the noble Solomon, father and son looked down on them.

Although there is one thing that Tianfang Christians and Hindus have in common, that is, they do not have the habit of using toilet paper after convenience, they all eat with their right hand and clean their buttocks with their left hand. But Solomon went a little too far, and every Solomon was accompanied by a servant who was responsible for his convenience, and after Solomon had done the convenience, a servant wiped him clean with his hands.

"If Solomon in India leaves his servants, I really don't know if the living will be suffocated to death by." Bahadur Shah finds it ridiculous every time he thinks about it.

However, although he looked down on the Hindus, Bahadur Shah felt that they were a bunch of slaves who did not know how to resist, but after all, the Hindus made up the majority of the population in the South Asian subcontinent, and in order to rule the land, it was necessary to use the Hindus. The rulers of the Celestial Cult went from resenting the caste system to using the caste system to control a large number of inferior people by controlling those of the higher castes.

Upon learning that the Turks from Central Asia had come to challenge, Amir objected: "Those damned Turks probably didn't set up an ambush and bring us in, right?" ā€

Bahadur Shah sneered: "It is clear at a glance on the prairie, how can they set up an ambush?" Even if they set up an ambush, what can they do? Strength is everything! They didn't eat our strength, and even if they succeeded in setting up an ambush, they gave us credit! Hum! Since they are looking for death, then order the three armies to attack! ā€

The two armies faced each other, and the Mughal army struck first and launched a fierce offensive against the Turks.

"Boom" The cannons of the steppe rumbled, and the cannons of the Mughal army spewed out balls of fire, and the shells whistled and smashed into the formation of the Turks. Then the war elephants hissed, rushed out of formation, and slaughtered the Turks.

The Turks placed a thick layer of pikemen in front of them, trying to use spears against war elephants.

"Quick, get in shape! When the elephants of the enemy come up, they prick their nostrils! Several Turkic officers shouted.

At this moment, more than a dozen shells roared into the pikemen's formation, and immediately pulled out more than a dozen blood lines in the neatly arranged pikemen's formation, and at least more than 200 Turkic pikemen fell in the rain of blood and flesh, some were directly torn to pieces by the shells, and some fell in a pool of blood wailing.

The Mughal cavalry rushed out, and after approaching the Turkic pikemen, the cavalry drew their bows and arrows, and fired rows of arrows. The Mughal musketeers followed, and their muskets roared and fired at the Turkic pikemen.

The Turks' artillery, bows and muskets also counterattacked, and many Mughal soldiers were shot and fell. However, both tactics and training, the Mughal army far outnumbered the Turks. The two sides exchanged fierce fire, and the Turkic formation began to loosen. At this moment, the Mughal cavalry, archers, and musketeers spread out on both sides, and the hordes of war elephants let out a deafening hissing sound and crushed the crowd of the Turks.

"Quick, poke their nostrils!" The Turkic officers roared hoarsely.

But no matter how much the officers shouted, it was to no avail, and the Turkic pikemen dropped their spears one after another, turned and fled.

War elephants trampled in, and the slow-running Turks were knocked down by the heavy elephants, and trampled by the thick legs of the elephants, and in the blink of an eye they turned into flesh. Some people fell to the ground, and the elephant stepped on his helmet, and even the helmet and head were trampled flat. Occasionally, a few of the more daring pikemen went to stab the elephant with their spears, but they were killed by the elephant soldiers on the back of the war elephant with bows and arrows.

The elephants drove the elephants and chased them behind the Turks. Don't look at the clumsy appearance of war elephants, in fact, the speed of running is really not slow, it is much faster than the speed of human running, the continuous running speed of elephants can reach 20 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed can reach 40 kilometers per hour, people really can't run that fast.

The Turks, who had been chased by the war elephants, were trampled to pulp, and the Turkic cavalry, who fled on horseback, were also pursued by the Mughal cavalry, and one by one they were chased and beheaded from behind.

"Hahaha!" Bahadur Shaha laughed, "The Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate are really vulnerable! Command the three armies to pursue the victory! Capture the castle of the Turks! ā€
