Killing a general before the battle is a big taboo!
Fortunately, the old king was famous and his powerful ministers were unpopular, otherwise the whole army would have collapsed after just one quarrel.
Although Achiyu is a young hero, he is still too immature and acts hastily and without regard for the consequences.
If we don't kill the powerful officials, we may still be able to fight today.
The powerful minister, as the commander-in-chief of the defenders, was killed on the battlefield, and the battle was destined to be lost.
As the whole army advanced, people kept deserting the team and fleeing for their lives. Before entering the firing range, there were only 40,000 of the king's army left, and the morale of those who did not escape became low.
Seeing this situation, Achiyu knew that he was wrong and he should not take action on the battlefield.
Next, we can only rely on the elephant soldiers to charge.
Elephants are very smart animals. Once they find that something is wrong, they will even take the initiative to flee the battlefield. When frightened, they will even attack indiscriminately.
However, war elephants can also be trained to withstand the sound of gunfire.
When the Mughal Empire fought with the British, they even developed "heavy armored elephant musketeers", in which musketeers rode directly on the backs of elephants and fired.
After being defeated by the Portuguese, the previous generation of heroes began to train war elephants, purchasing muskets and constantly shooting next to the elephants, so that the powerful war elephants could gradually adapt to guns.
Moreover, after going to the battlefield, they stuffed the elephant's ears with cloth.
Another round of shelling passed, and the two war elephants were bruised and did not fall down immediately. So it looked good. After the war elephants were injured and went crazy, they rushed and trampled randomly, and the surrounding light infantry suffered heavy casualties.
The new recruits were at a loss and immediately ran away.
The veteran quickly gave up the passage, while the javelin soldiers behind kept firing javelins at the frantic war elephants. The two war elephants quickly left the formation and rushed towards the enemy.
"Boom boom boom!"
There was another volley of artillery fire, and these war elephants were already very close.
The sound emitted by dozens of artillery pieces at close range cannot be covered up by the cloth in the ears. More than a thousand war elephants all went crazy, trampled on their own people indiscriminately, and were stabbed by the javelin soldiers behind them and charged towards the Ming army's formation.
go.
"ignition!"
The weather was so hot that the Ming army placed firewood in front of the formation. The firewood was still soaked with grease and instantly formed a blazing wall of fire.
As the wall of fire ignited, the musket soldiers also fired volleys of fire. The crazed elephants were very afraid of the flames and were shot head-on by the muskets. They were so frightened that they immediately ran to both sides and behind them.
The Ananda cavalry on both wings were also conducting harassment operations, but they were repulsed every time by horseback and musketry.
"kill!"
Ning Botao gave an order, and thousands of Ming troops in front crossed the flames and began to charge. More than 20,000 untouchable auxiliary soldiers, also holding simple weapons, rushed with the Ming army. As long as they win this battle, they will get the Vishnu.
The caste given by slaves.
Tens of thousands of light infantry had been disrupted by their own war elephants, and their morale was low due to the sudden change of generals. Seeing the enemy charging at them, they could not care about the king. Veterans and new recruits all chose to turn around and run away.
There is no way, the main force has not returned from the border, and the veterans here in the royal city have little fighting power.
Moreover, those main forces were deliberately transferred to the border by powerful ministers. The previous generation of heroes fought in the north and south, and there were a large number of die-hard loyalists in the army. Only by transferring elite troops to the border could the powerful ministers dare to control the young king.
"Your Majesty, return to the city quickly!" the close guard shouted.
Achiyu pushed away the guards, raised his scepter and said: "We haven't bowed yet, there are many of us. The enemy is chasing us, and the formation has been messed up. Let the cavalry charge from both wings!"
The cavalry could not charge. The king's formation was in chaos, and the cavalry on both wings could not get military orders. The cavalry general responsible for leading the team was driven back several times by muskets. He had gradually lost his fighting spirit. At this time, he actually chose to run away and wanted to go around to the other side.
Go into the city and take shelter.
Achiyu's eyes were red with anger, he was unwilling to give in!
This battle should not be fought at all. We only need to defend the city. Once the main force comes back, how can it be lost?
The guards took the king away by force and came to the city with the defeated soldiers. However, the officers and soldiers guarding the city refused to open the city gate.
Those responsible for guarding the city were all the powerful officials' confidants. They had witnessed the murder of the powerful officials and were afraid that the king would come back to settle accounts with them. Moreover, if the king returned in defeat, the royal city might not be able to be defended. It would be better to let the king die outside the city and take refuge with these people.
The invading army came from China.
Just changing the master, this is common in the Indian subcontinent and has happened countless times over the past thousands of years.
All city gates were tightly closed, not to mention that the king could not enter. Even the fleeing cavalry went around to the other side of the royal city, but were ruthlessly rejected by the defenders.
The cavalry generals gathered together and began to discuss a way out:
"Sardashwar is dead and the king is defeated. We cannot enter the city. What should we do?"
"Go to the north. There are tens of thousands of troops coming there. Maybe they can take back the royal city."
"It's useless, these Chinese people have powerful guns and guns, more powerful than the red-haired ghosts."
"I think it is better to surrender. After all, they are outsiders and need us to rule the country. We can be loyal to the new king. These outsiders will be happy and will give us more power and more land!"
"Yes, to be loyal to the new king, it is best to kill the king!"
"..."
Thousands of cavalrymen immediately ran back. In Ning Botao's surprised eyes, they continued to kill the broken troops along the way and rushed directly to the king outside the city.
Ning Botao couldn't believe it and said with emotion: "What a bunch of rebellious officials and traitors!"
The guards around him fled one after another, and King Achiyu was furious: "You..."
With one strike, the king died.
Seeing the cavalry killing the king and running to claim credit for the new master, the defenders in the city finally panicked.
A general who defended the city shouted: "Kaicheng, Kaicheng, quickly dedicate the royal city to the new owner!"
The king died, the city gate opened, and Ning Botao was dumbfounded.
Damn it, all the members are twenty-five boys.
Before Ning Botao entered the city, he issued an order not to burn, kill or loot privately. Unexpectedly, the surrendered enemy troops and the defeated troops who took the opportunity to rush into the city actually opened fire on their own citizens. Ning Botao could only command the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
Keep pressing.
The aggressor becomes a protector in an instant. It's fucking bullshit just thinking about it.
Although the king is dead, there are many members of the royal family, as well as some supporters of the king. They were all captured by the Erwu Chai and brought to the new master to claim credit, in an attempt to gain a greater position of power.
Ning Botao led his troops into the palace and asked all the generals who had surrendered to escort the royal family members to collect their rewards.
These young men were inexplicably excited. They all knelt down and worshiped on the ground. Next to them were the trembling royal family members.
Ning Botao smiled broadly: "Very good, stand up and line up, I will give you the rewards you deserve."
The Indian Leading Party immediately translated, and the two or five boys were smiling happily and lined up in several rows obediently.
Ning Botao said: "Let's do it."
Five hundred musketeers raised their muskets and pointed them at the young men. Under the puzzled eyes, all the young men were beaten into pieces.
Of course, it is to avenge the king and support a new king. Otherwise, how can we persuade the returning main force to surrender and rule such a large country?
"Which one is the king's younger brother?" Ning Botao asked.
The leader immediately pointed to the three children and said: "They are all the king's younger brothers. One is twelve years old, one is eight years old, and the other is three years old."
Ning Botao walked up to the three-year-old child and gently stroked his head: "You are the new king."
Then, he pointed at a beautiful girl and asked, "Who is this again?"
The leader said: "She is the king's sister."
Ning Botao smiled and said: "Send it to His Majesty. You should be made a count this time."
