Chapter 909 That's a Dream
The Mughal Empire soldiers who rushed to the front were their arquebus soldiers, archers, and artillerymen carrying cannon barrels, and among them, archers were the most.In addition, a small part is equipped with fusiliers from the Netherlands.

It can be said that in this first wave of attacks, Aurangzeb did not hold anything back.

According to the original plan, the Dutch musketeers were also sent by him, but because of the heavy artillery losses, if the Dutch suffered more casualties, Kui Yi said that he could not explain to the head office, and finally Aurangzeb revoked the order after consideration .

The light cavalry on the two wings, some with bows and arrows, and some with lassoes, were like tigers in the mountains, waiting for an opportunity to charge forward.

Behind these long-range arms, soldiers carrying ladders, and arms such as war elephants are also following up.

Looking from the top of Bagalpur city, the Mughals outside the city are densely packed, like a large forest, moving towards the city wall.

However, not to mention the soldiers of the Ming army on the top of the city, even the soldiers of the Ming army behind the female wall outside the city did not panic at all.

The entire Ming army was still quiet, and even the soldiers of the Mughal Empire would wonder if the Ming army had become a sculpture, and they didn't even move.

This situation once again gave Aurangzeb a bad feeling.

Because of the experience of the previous two times, the reaction of the Ming army seemed to be full of confidence.What was it that gave them such confidence?

The artillery of the Ming army can indeed hit very far, but, no matter what, the lethality of the artillery is actually not high.It's okay to scare recruits, but for veterans, they all have a clear understanding.

On Aurangzeb's side, they had seen the range and accuracy of the Ming army's artillery just now, so they sent out all the elites who fought in the South and North.If the Ming army wanted to repel this attack with their artillery again, that would be a dream!

Still unable to understand what support the Ming army had, Aurangzeb turned his head and asked Kui, "You are familiar with the Ming army. Do they have any means to deal with such an attack?"

As soon as Kui heard this, he looked in the direction of Bhagalpur and said uncertainly: "They have a lot of people, they have iron-clad steam warships, and they know a lot about firearms..."

After talking, he suddenly couldn't continue.Because the Ming army gave him the biggest impression that there were many people and many ships.

But just now, the range and accuracy of the Ming army's artillery taught him another lesson, which caused him a lot of losses. Suddenly, he was not sure: How much do he know about the Ming army?
Aurangzeb didn't hear him continue, and when he was about to turn his head to look at him, he suddenly heard the sound of artillery bombardment.

"Boom boom boom..."

On the top of the city of Bhagalpur, gunpowder smoke rose into the sky again.Iron bullets roared and smashed towards the Mughal Empire army outside the city.

Near the attacking war elephants, iron bullets hit the ground, and then bounced off, plowing out bloody furrows.

These war elephants, because they have learned lessons, are scattered to attack.

But it is obvious that the artillery of the Ming army should aim at these war elephants for free bombardment.

In the first round of shelling, an unlucky war elephant was hit by an iron bullet and fell to the ground whining.Although the other war elephants were a little frightened by the iron bullets that fell around them, after training, although they were a little panicked, they were still controlled by the elephant soldiers and did not cause a stampede.

But no matter what, the soldiers next to the elephant were unlucky.They also immediately understood that the artillery of the Ming army gave priority to bombarding the war elephants, so they started to stay away from the war elephants as they walked.

The frontline officers of the Mughal Empire were obviously also experienced. After the Ming army fired their guns, they issued a military order, and the entire ranged arms began to run, approaching the city wall.

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery on the top of the city continued to roar.Every time there is a bombardment, some war elephants and nearby soldiers will be unlucky.It can be said that the accuracy of the artillery of the Ming army is definitely the most powerful that the Mughal Empire army has ever seen.

However, they were all the elite of the Mughal Empire Army, and they were not frightened. They continued to approach the city wall so that they could fight back with long-range weapons after being shortened to an arrow.

Aurangzeb looked very gloomy in the distance, because he found that he thought the Dutch were the most proficient in firearms, but he didn't expect that, at least from the current point of view, Ming's artillery is definitely not inferior to the Dutch. It can even be said that, no matter in terms of rate of fire or accuracy, it seems to be better than the Dutch!
This made him a little worried. If there were no accidents, the Ming army was likely to be on the musket and would give him a "surprise"!

As a person who has led troops to fight for many years and has experience, Aurangzeb knows very well in his heart that the power of firearms is huge, which is far beyond that of cold weapons.If the Ming army is better than the Dutch in terms of firearms, this battle will be difficult to fight!
But at this time, it was useless to think right, he just stared at the battlefield with a gloomy face.

From the beginning to the end, on the side of the Ming army, only the artillery on the top of the city was killing the attacking war elephants.

As time passed, the long-range units that ran were finally about to reach the place within a stone's throw of the city wall.As long as the distance is shortened, with the superiority of the Mughal Empire's troops, covering the shooting can suppress the vitality of the city.

In the first wave of attacks, Aurangzeb no longer expected to directly hit Bagalpur, but to tear down the female wall and barbed wire outside the city, and that would be a victory.

But at this moment, a series of gunpowder smoke was seen from the top of the city of Bhagalpur, and from the parapet walls below the city, and then the sound of a large number of firearms firing was heard.

"Blah blah blah..."

Almost at the same time as they saw the gunpowder smoke, those Mughal long-range units rushing forward, as if they had hit an invisible wall, all fell to the ground.Just like on the Ganges in the morning, the arson boat was blocked by iron chains.

The only difference is that the arson ship is really a line, and at this time, only a few of the long-range units crossed that line, and most of them, as the Ming army fired, all the front rows fell down. on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Aurangzeb and Kuiyi opened their eyes wide at the same time, and showed incredible expressions again.

Both of them have a lot of experience, and they couldn't be more clear about what the scene in front of them means.

At the moment when they were stunned, the muskets of the Ming army continued to fire.

"Blah blah blah..."

The long-range units of the Mughal Empire army fell backward one by one like a lot of wheat harvested.

Seeing this scene, Aurangzeb came back to his senses angrily, turned his head and asked Kui sharply: "What's the matter? Why did the muskets of the Ming army have such a long range and shoot so accurately? Why didn't you remind me before?"

Under the fire of this musket, the casualties are far from comparable to the bombardment, it is a piece of death and injury!
These are the elite of the Mughal Empire army, and they are the reliance of Aurangzeb to claim the king and emperor!
Kuiyi himself was stunned, and when he heard Aurangzeb's question, he replied suspiciously: "This shouldn't be. If their artillery is cast in a very large and heavy place, it is impossible for their muskets to do this? There are only a few muskets, and it makes sense, they are all muskets like this, which makes no sense at all!"

Aurangzeb didn't want to hear this kind of talk at all, what he wanted was the result, and he couldn't hear what he wanted to hear. When he was about to ask, he heard Kuiyi ask again: "It's not right, even if it is aggravated, The accuracy head is definitely not so high, what's going on?"

The enhanced version of the musket is to lift the gun, which requires two people to operate, and it is also very troublesome to load.However, the aim of raising the gun is also unpredictable.This is determined by the musket!

Therefore, Kui Yi didn't know that the Ming army had already equipped Shenwei rifles on a large scale, and he didn't know the function of the rifling. The performance of the Ming army's muskets exceeded his cognition, so he was dumbfounded!

"Blah blah blah..."

The sound of muskets rang out continuously, harvesting the lives of batch after batch of Mughal Empire soldiers.

Not to mention rushing to the Ming army, the soldiers who could stand were getting farther and farther away from the city wall.

Not because they ran away, but the soldiers in the front row were all shot!
Faced with this one-sided shooting, in the end, these elite Mughal Empire soldiers also collapsed, regardless of the supervisory team behind them, they all turned and fled!

"Blah blah blah..."

The Ming army's flintlock guns were still firing, and continued to shoot and kill the Mughal Empire soldiers who turned their backs.It is also thanks to the fact that the Mughal Empire had enough troops, otherwise, if the Ming army dispatched cavalry at this time, it would have caused even more casualties to the enemy.

Finally, the gunfire slowly stopped.

Outside the city of Bhagalpur, it became much quieter again, and there were still some voices, most of which were the wailing of the Mughal Empire soldiers who were injured and survived.

The soldiers of the Mughal Empire, those who did not participate in the battle, were all very silent watching this scene.

If they thought that the Ming army was vulnerable before they arrived in Bagalpur, at this time, they had no such idea at all.Even on the contrary, as far as the firearms of the Ming army are so powerful, can they win by relying on their strength alone?
Is it to consume the gunpowder of the Bright Army?But who knows how much gunpowder the Ming army had?

If the gunpowder of the Bright Army is not consumed, how can this battle be fought?With the intensive firepower of the Ming army, they couldn't even rush through!
Looking at the flag of the Ming army fluttering in the wind above the city of Bagalpur, the soldiers of the Mughal Empire felt that it was particularly dazzling!

Aurangzeb's complexion was uglier than anyone else's.Because now one proves that Bhagalpur's Ming army is definitely very difficult to fight. It can be said that it is the biggest enemy he has encountered in his life.

Leading an army of one million, coming with great momentum, if you can't beat Galpur, I don't know how many local army leaders will fall back to the two incompetent puppet emperors.

But the question now is, how to fight to defeat Bagalpur?
