Chapter 503: Indian War Elephants

India is hot all over the country, and most of the region has a tropical monsoon climate, with more pronounced monsoons in summer and less monsoon in winter.

India's climate is divided into a rainy season (June~October), a dry season (March~May), and a cool season (November~February).

The Chinese coalition entered India just in time for the tail of the dry season, and by the time their main force reached Heldniwa, the rainy season had arrived within a few days.

With the arrival of the rainy season, two million Chinese coalition troops were suddenly trapped in the Heldniwa region.

In the face of three days of heavy rain, many players from the Central Plains of China are miserable.

Finally, when the rain stopped, new problems arose.

Due to the torrential rains, the rivers in many areas have swelled, and some of the dirt roads in the countryside have suddenly become muddy.

Players can tolerate mud or something, but the ubiquitous mosquitoes are making players suffer.

Every night, players will be harassed by the harassing mosquitoes and can't sleep, and finally fall asleep, and when they get up the next day, they will find that they have been bitten all over the bag.

Because the game is so realistic, many people have become uncomfortable, and some players have even fallen ill.

Since the Huaxia Coalition did not expect the natural environment here to be so harsh, they did not prepare in advance, so those players who fell ill could only commit suicide and return to Huaxia.

Players in Huaxia can tolerate the cold, but they can't adapt to the heat and humidity.

Seeing that if this continues, their army will be trapped here.

Therefore, the top brass of the Huaxia coalition decided to take advantage of the clear weather to immediately march forward, aiming directly at the Moradabad area ahead.

In the face of the Chinese coalition army overwhelmed by the army, the Indian players continued to choose to defend the city due to the lack of troops in the Moradabad area.

The Chinese coalition army besieged the city of Moradabad for half a month, and after losing more than 500,000 troops, it finally broke through the city of Moradabad.

After the capture of the Moradabad region, the Chinese coalition would be able to reach New Delhi, the ultimate goal, by crossing the Ganges.

After the capture of Moradabad by the Chinese coalition forces, the legions assembled by the Indian players in the rear were finally belated.

On the northeast bank of the Ganges, a legion of 2 million Indian players fought a life-and-death battle against a 1.5 million Chinese coalition army.

On the side of the Huaxia Alliance, the players have been tortured by the climate here, and they want to fight to New Delhi and return to Huaxia now.

On the Indian players' side, the Ganges River is their holy river, and they will never allow the Huaxia players to desecrate it, so no matter what, they must stop the Huaxia coalition from continuing to advance.

The two sides were really enemies when they met, so as soon as they came up, the two armies invested all their forces at the same time, and millions of people spread all over the northeast bank of the Ganges, and there were battlefields of fighting everywhere.

Although Ning Yuan was pushed to the end and became a big soldier again, considering his strength, the high-ranking people of the Huaxia Coalition still gave him a war horse.

Ning Yuan rode his war horse and rushed to the front, and the rain of arrows from the Indian players did not stop him from advancing.

Driven by Ning Yuan, the Chinese players in his area soon gained the absolute upper hand, and they killed the Indian players to the ground.

The battle began early in the morning and lasted until noon.

At this time, Ning Yuan was covered in blood, and he didn't know how many war horses had been replaced, and he was still desperately charging on the battlefield, where there were many Indian players, he would rush to.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer Indian players on the battlefield and the Huaxia Coalition was about to win completely, a large number of troops suddenly appeared in the rear of the Indian players.

Unlike the chaotic Indian Legions, this new army has uniform equipment and banners, and they march slowly towards the battlefield with neat steps.

Although they couldn't recognize the other party's flag, Huaxia players recognized it at a glance as an indigenous Indian legion.

It turned out that the Chinese coalition army had entered the sphere of influence of this indigenous kingdom of India, so the other party directly sent troops to participate in the war.

From the race of the soldiers, it can be seen that this is a human aboriginal kingdom, but when the players of the Huaxia Alliance Army saw some of the troops in the enemy army, everyone's faces were very ugly.

In addition to the ordinary human soldiers, there were several thousand tall Indian war elephants in this army.

War elephants are a kind of special forces in the history of ancient warfare, which played the role of a tank in modern troops in ancient warfare.

Trained war elephants, brave and invincible, can break through city gates, destroy barracks, dismantle weapons, step on enemy troops, trap enemy formations, and often cause great damage to the enemy.

Their main role on the battlefield is to trample and break through enemy lines as they charge.

War elephants rushing towards the enemy can not only create panic and panic among the enemy army, but also take advantage of the fact that the horses are not accustomed to the smell of elephants, causing the enemy's horses to stumble.

Unlike the war horses of the cavalry, the skin of the war elephant is thick and does not get injured easily, and even the spear formations of the infantry have a hard time blocking them.

All war elephants are bull elephants because bulls are faster and more aggressive. They were simply the first weapons of terror to be used on the battlefield.

In addition to the lethality of the war elephant itself, the elephant soldiers riding on the back of the war elephant also have good lethality.

Armed with bows and arrows and short spears, these elephants will launch long-range attacks on nearby enemies.

Because of their high command, their attacks have few dead ends, and unless the enemy dares to venture under the belly of the war elephant, it will be difficult to escape their sniping.

Of course, all things are mutually reinforcing, and there are no absolutely perfect creatures in this world, and all creatures have more or less weaknesses.

The strength of war elephants is the war elephants themselves, and their weaknesses are also the war elephants themselves.

The main problem with war elephants is that they tend to become berserk when they feel pain or anger, and no one can control them in this situation.

As a result, the riders of war elephants usually carry spikes and mallets to kill them when they go berserk against their own people.

In addition, the elephant slaves on the back of the war elephants are also considered a weakness of the war elephants, and after killing the elephant slaves, no one can continue to control them.

Because the war elephants themselves have thick skin and meat, and the elephant slaves wrap themselves tightly, these two weaknesses are not too obvious in many cases.

And now the situation faced by the Huaxia coalition forces is like this.
