Chapter 265 The Fire Camel Destroys the War Elephant!
The Eastern Han Dynasty Army and the Indian Mughal Army formed their formations on the plains outside the city for a battle.
The front row is the cannon fodder light infantry of the Mughal Empire, responsible for protecting one's own war elephants.
More than a hundred large war elephants lined up behind the light infantry, and the archers and spearmen on the elephants' backs were ready for battle.
Further behind are the elite heavy cavalry. After the war elephants attack the opponent's formation, the heavy cavalry will follow up and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.
Unlike the impression that Indian civilization was all about infantry, the Mughal Empire in India had a large number of cavalry, even with cavalry as the main force.
The Kshatriyas ascended to command this hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand level battle.
The center army is the Indian Mughal Empire legion, the left wing is the Japanese Koryo legion, and the right wing is the legions of Southeast Asian countries.
This is a competition between the civilizations of East Asia and South Asia to determine who can become the overlord of Asia between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Mughal Empire, two civilizations with almost the same population size.
The Mughal Empire has always regarded the Eastern Han Empire as the biggest threat.
"If it were in the main world, the total population of our lords would be greater than that of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, the population would not be able to play a role in the national war. Wait until I unify the Mughal Empire, attack the Central Asian countries to the north, and then attack the Western Region Protectorate
The mansion shocked the Eastern Han Dynasty!"
Kshatriyas are ambitious.
The population size of the Mughal Empire was the same as that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, except that the number of heroes was smaller.
As long as he unified the Mughal Empire in advance, even the entire Eastern Han Dynasty would tremble.
"The Mughal Empire will become a powerful enemy in the future, but not now."
Chu Tian felt the hostility of the other party.
He also divided his troops into three armies.
The main force and servants of the Eastern Han Dynasty were in the center, the Lianpo Army and the lower-level armies were on the left, and the Moscow Grand Duchy Army was on the right.
"You, the Eastern Han Dynasty, have only 50,000 people in total. Can you serve as both the central army and the left wing?"
Seeing that her 60,000 men were concentrated on the right wing, while the Eastern Han Army was taking over the tasks of both phalanxes, Catherine couldn't help but doubt the capabilities of the Eastern Han Army.
"Shut up. If your right-wing army cannot defeat the Japanese warriors, I will kill you."
"..."
Yekaterina found that Chu Tian was completely unreasonable, and her army was regarded by Chu Tian as a sharp sword to destroy the enemy.
The Cossack cavalry was very fast. Such a cavalry was unceremoniously recruited by Chu Tian. Their opponents were the warriors of the East.
"Commander, are the camels ready?"
In order to break the formation, Chu Tian decided to sacrifice the camels captured from the lords of the Arab Empire.
The civilization of the Arab Empire had many trophies that were very practical. The soldiers of the Arab Empire worked tirelessly, and their camels were also useful.
Fang Xuanling replied: "It's ready."
"The war elephants of the Mughal Empire will die here today."
Chu Tian was very sure.
In the Eastern Han camp, the Chinese army had General Le Yi, deputy general Li Guang, and 10,000 Han troops, with the Shesheng Battalion as the main force. There were also 24,000 servants serving as reserves in the rear. The Chinese army was good at attacking.
The leader of the Left Army, Lian Po, had 5,000 Han troops (Hu Ma, the remnants of Zhao Long), plus 20,000 low-level soldiers (recruited from four cities). The Left Army was good at defense.
The leader of the right army will be Dmitry of the Don, the hero of the Grand Duchy of Moscow who once defeated the Mongols. There are 60,000 troops, including elite Cossack cavalry. The right army is good at attacking.
Chutian's tactics were very simple. Lian Po's left army was used to defend and contain the enemy. The central army inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy, and then the right army was used to destroy the enemy's left army (Koryeo Dongying Army).
In frontal combat, there is very little room for maneuver, and more emphasis is placed on the quality of the generals and soldiers on both sides.
Because he once fought against Yekaterina's legion, Chu Tian knew the strength of her legion, so he dared to let Yekaterina's legion serve as the right army.
"The war elephant seems a little restless. What's going on?"
The elephant soldiers of the Mughal Empire noticed that their mounts seemed a little uneasy and different from usual.
The Indian hero Shivaji has the ability to strengthen the war elephant army. War elephants should not be so easily agitated, but this time it is indeed unusual.
Opposite them, there is a Sky Khan, a Tsar, and the effects of the characteristics of the two monarchs are superimposed, and even the elephant soldiers, which are high-level units, are affected.
The Kshatriyas were not aware of Chutian and Ekaterina's abilities and insisted on launching an attack.
The two sides were at war with each other, and the battlefield was very depressing. The breathing of warriors, the panting of war horses, and the sporadic collision of shields and armors could all be heard. The soldiers on both sides were gathering strength.
"We have been besieged for nearly a month, and the enemy bullies the minority with their numbers. Today is the day we defeat the enemy! No matter what happens, we will fight to the death and never retreat!"
"Fight to the death and never retreat!"
Lian Po personally boosted morale before the two sides were about to fight, and the morale of the left army was boosted!
Many soldiers of the left army were besieged by the Mughal Empire Legion, and most of their companions were killed or injured. At this time, they finally had a chance to kill the enemy and take revenge!
"Lian Po is the general who blocked the Great Qin Army head-on."
Chu Tian noticed that the morale of Lian Po's army had improved, and at the same time, its defense had also improved.
The left army is indestructible!
Chu Tian did not come with Zhou Yafu, who was good at defense, but now with the help of Lian Po, he was no worse than Zhou Yafu.
"This battle is related to the ownership of the national war number one. If we fail, we can only retreat temporarily."
"It won't fail, it's them who will lose."
The Eastern Han camp only gathered three lords. The other Eastern Han lords were scattered in various places and could not be assembled for a while.
This decisive battle mainly relied on the generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as well as the main force and servants of the Han army.
"Takeda-kun, across from us are Boyer's heavy cavalry and Cossack cavalry. In a confrontation with the legions of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, are your red cavalry their opponents?"
"Your Kyushu warriors are probably not very good either. We just need to hold off the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow."
The two Japanese lords were talking in front of the battle. They had little hope of winning.
"We have the backlight, and they are facing the sun. We have the advantage and we will win this battle! Attack!"
As the Kshatriyas ordered the attack, the 100,000-strong army of the Anti-Eastern Han Alliance rolled towards the Eastern Han camp!
Ten thousand light infantry and archers cover a hundred war elephants and serve as the main force of the central army. The light infantry holds shields and spears and keeps advancing.
The war elephants swayed with their heavy bodies, and the ten war elephants at the front were even more heavily armored, with thick skin and thick flesh, like moving fortresses.
A strong wooden tower was attached to the elephant's back, in which the archers and spearmen sat for protection.
The pressure brought by hundreds of mobile fortresses is comparable to a heavy cavalry charge. In a sense, the sense of oppression brought by this three-meter-tall behemoth is even stronger.
With the help of their war elephant troops, the Kshatriyas severely damaged the unsuspecting Lianpo army.
This time, he repeated his old tricks, trying to use war elephants to tear apart the enemy formation, and use heavy cavalry to completely destroy the enemy formation.
"Ordinary war elephants are afraid of rockets, but my war elephant troops have Shivaji's bonus and are less likely to go crazy. They will crush over your corpses."
The Kshatriyas could already foresee the next scene where the Han army would suffer heavy casualties.
With the help of the hero Shivaji and his army of war elephants, dozens of princes were conquered by him in Mughal India.
He was the first Mughal lord in India, and his army of war elephants was invincible on the Indus plains!
Not only the war elephants, but also two thousand heavy cavalry wearing iron armor at the rear. As long as the war elephants disrupt the opponent's square formation, the heavy cavalry will charge, and the light cavalry will expand the results. In this battle, he will become the uncrowned king!
The combination of elephant soldiers and heavy cavalry put tremendous pressure on the Eastern Han camp.
Not many legions can block such a combination head-on.
This is also where the Kshatriya's confidence lies.
"I understand why you were besieged in this city for a month. The Mughal Empire has both war elephants and a large number of heavy and light cavalry."
Chutian understood the reason why Huma's Lianpo army was severely damaged by the Kshatriyas.
Not being familiar with war elephants is one aspect, and another reason is that Kshatriya, as a great lord of Mughal India with a population of tens of millions, has enough manpower and property to build heavy cavalry and recruit a large number of elite light cavalry.
In the battle on the plains, the elephants and cavalry took great advantage.
"Ekaterina, let's go to the Chinese Army."
Chu Tian, who was watching the battle from a high place, suddenly asked Ekaterina to come to the central army to suppress the battle.
"The war elephants and heavy cavalry troops on the opposite side will charge soon. If you want to die, you can go alone. I don't want to die with you."
"This is an order!"
"..."
Ekaterina was extremely reluctant and was taken to the central army by Chu Tian's escort.
Zhao Long and Hu Ma were surprised that Chu Tian went into battle in person: "Chu Zimou, why do you want to sit in the middle army? Aren't you afraid of being shot by stray arrows?"
"It is difficult to defeat Shivaji's elephant soldiers unless you have to."
Chutian had to take risks, because the closer the characteristics of "Tian Khan" and "Ekaterina the Great" were to the enemy, the more obvious their effects would be.
Zhao Long and Hu Ma didn't know that Chu Tian planned to make full use of Tian Khan's effect. They thought that Chu Tian would personally take charge of the central army, take the lead and inspire the soldiers, and they couldn't help but admire him.
Chu Tian and Yekaterina arrived near the Chinese army general Le Yi, and were still approaching the front line.
Ekaterina said coldly: "You are really a madman."
"A lord like you, who often leads Cossack cavalry to plunder, doesn't seem qualified to criticize me."
With Chu Tian and Yekaterina personally taking charge of the central army, the marching war elephants became even more uneasy.
The elephant soldiers and their war elephants were partners who lived together day and night. At this time, they felt that the war elephants were getting more and more anxious, so they immediately calmed down the war elephants.
At the same time, the elephant soldiers immediately sent someone to report to the commander-in-chief Shivaji.
At this time, the war elephant troops were less than 300 meters away from the Eastern Han camp.
The war elephant is becoming more and more unstable.
Opposite are Tian Khan and Emperor Catherine the Great!
"How can my war elephant troops be afraid of the enemy on the opposite side?"
Shivaji heard the report from the elephant soldiers ahead and felt uneasy.
In the Eastern Han camp, there were two special lords who had a suppressive effect on foreign races.
But he hasn't wavered yet.
The three armies have already pressed forward, and the distance between the forwards of both sides is less than 300 meters, so there is no way to retreat!
Once the bulky war elephants are ordered to retreat, it will only cause the entire army of 100,000 to collapse.
As long as the Eastern Han camp sent troops to pursue them, the Kshatriyas would surely suffer heavy losses.
In Le Yi's center, hundreds of Arabian camel cavalry led their camels to the front.
This group of camels, including their humps, are more than 2 meters tall and have more impact than war horses.
It is a pity that the combat performance of camels is not as good as that of war horses in most terrains, and they are more used in deserts and Gobi for combat or transporting goods.
"What does Chu Zimou think? He wants to use camel cavalry to deal with war elephants?"
"This is a decisive battle between two great civilizations. Don't mess around."
Zhao Long and Hu Ma were surprised when they saw Chu Tian using camels to deal with war elephants, and at the same time they could only choose to trust Chu Tian.
"How can the camel cavalry of the Arab Empire be a match for my elephant soldiers? When the camels see my elephants, they will just turn around and run away."
"It's really stupid. Camel soldiers can't be the opponent of elephant soldiers."
The lords of the Mughal Empire noticed this camel soldier and did not take it seriously.
"Camel... why is it a camel? Is this... a fire-ox trick!"
Takeda Tadayoshi, Taira Yoshimori and other Goryeo lords suddenly thought of Chutian's intentions and panicked.
They wanted to notify the war elephant troops, but it was too late!
Hundreds of camels were just victims of Chutian's defeat of the war elephant troops!
The hay tied to the camel's tail was ignited, and the frightened camel rushed forward in panic!
Hundreds of crazy camels were more powerful than war horses, and the pain of being burned by the flames defeated their fear of the enemy!
The sand and dust were rolling, and the tall camel crashed into the mixed phalanx of infantry and war elephants on the opposite side!
Facing the impact of the fire camel, the Mughal infantry at the front panicked and subconsciously retreated or avoided the beast, which was taller than a war horse!
"It's useless. My war elephant troops are different from the elephant soldiers of other civilizations. With the addition of Shivaji's war elephant troops, the probability of war elephants going crazy will be greatly reduced!"
It is not that the Kshatriyas have never encountered similar tactics, but his elephant soldiers are unusual and will not be easily shaken...
"The war elephant is out of control!"
"impossible!"
Kshatriya suddenly saw that his hundreds of war elephants were not controlled by the elephant soldiers, but were trampling his own troops crazily!
The tall war elephants collapsed on their own in the face of the flames and the crazy camels that frightened them. Their huge elephant feet trampled the surrounding Mughal soldiers. Hundreds of Mughal soldiers died from the trampling and collision of the war elephants!
Kshatriya's war elephants are a little special, but he ignored one thing - the monarch characteristics of Chutian and Yekaterina can scare the war elephants and increase the probability of the war elephants going crazy. Coupled with the fire camel impact, the big
Some war elephants lost control and destroyed their own phalanx.
"The Shesheng Battalion, under the cover of heavy infantry, attacks forward!"
Le Yi issued the attack order at the right time.
Li Guang rode on horseback to urge the archers of the Shesheng Battalion to move forward. Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, he used long-range longbows to shoot at the Mughal Empire's phalanx, exacerbating the chaos of the opponent's central army.
The 10,000 infantrymen were trampled by war elephants and hit by arrows from the Shesheng Battalion at the same time, and were completely defeated.
The Shesheng Battalion was strengthened by Li Guang, Le Yi, and Chu Tian, and the locust-like arrows took away the lives of the infantry of the Mughal Empire.
The flaming arrows fell like a meteor shower, and war elephants afraid of fire rushed around!
Chu Tian looked at the chaotic war elephants and couldn't help but shake his head: "High-level arms like elephant soldiers are a double-edged sword."
