This Qing is wrong

Chapter 247 Decisive Battle at Maratha

"Aamir Khan, do you know what is the core that determines the outcome of a war?"

Sindia, the supreme commander of the Maratha coalition forces, put down the binoculars in his hand, and turned confidently to Aamir Khan, the leader of the last remnant of the Mughal dynasty.

After Li Changqing embezzled the entire core territory of the Mughal Empire, he was unwilling to be ruled by the Tang Empire, or the Indian aboriginal nobles who failed and fled in the Tang army's attack were recruited by Aamir Khan, the often defeated general, and brought him into the Maratha Union.

The Tang Empire’s attack on the remnants of the Mughal Dynasty was more resolute and thorough than that of the Qing Dynasty. Amir Khan could no longer compete with the new invaders in Northwest India as before, and even lost the last piece of land.

Fortunately, Amir Khan, as a traditional high-caste aristocrat in this continent of India, has a very wide network of contacts. In addition, he has brought many veterans who have experienced the influence of war under his hands, and he soon received the attention of the high-level Maratha Alliance.

Veterans who have lost battles are a hundred times stronger than recruits!
When the decisive battle between the Tang Empire and the Maratha Alliance broke out, Amir Khan took part in the battle with his own army, and the supreme commander of the Maratha Alliance, Syndia, was also a friend of Amir Khan.

However, Cyndia is proud and arrogant, especially likes to show off her 'knowledge' in front of people she knows well.

Aamir Khan, who was living under the fence, gave Cyndia a step to continue talking very naturally, and asked curiously: "What is that?"

"Naturally, the core of determining the outcome of a war is numbers and unity!

The Maratha Alliance has never been so united as it is now to fight against the evil Tang people!

Even Aurangzeb back then did not make the Maratha people hate him so much, that demon Li Changqing did.

Haha, he really is a disgusting guy. "

Speaking of this, Sindia let out a hearty laugh, because in a sense, he was able to gain his current power thanks to the aggressiveness of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty towards the Maratha Alliance.

This is a guy who is more greedy than Emperor Kangxi.

Aamir Khan, who was next to him, echoed with a smile: "Indeed, the united Maratha Alliance must be invincible!"

Sindia was very satisfied with Amir Khan's answer, and did not waste her care for him and his subordinates.

Sindia is very clear that as long as he can win this decisive battle, the Maratha Alliance will be condensed into the Maratha Empire in his hands!
Because this decisive battle has allowed Sindia to control the command of most of the troops in the Maratha Alliance, what he lacks now is the victory of an epic war to help him ascend the throne.

Of course, the unity that Cyndia mentioned was just a foreshadowing, because anyone with a discerning eye knew that in terms of unity, the Datang Empire, as a centralized system, was exactly the same, and even slightly better.

What makes Sindia confident of victory is the next winning factor that he himself believes to be true.

"In war, strength is the key to victory or defeat.

The ignorant untouchables all know that fighting one out of ten will undoubtedly win, not to mention that the Maratha coalition army is full of heavily armed soldiers and mercenaries, and the strength of the Tang army on the opposite side is even less than ours.

Li Changqing, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was so arrogant. He wanted to win with only 3 or [-] people. What did he think of the Marathas? "

"Ah yes yes yes..."

Aamir Khan nodded in agreement the whole time, but he was full of slander.

If the Maratha Alliance is really awesome, how could it be suppressed by Aurangzeb of the Mughal Dynasty for so many years?
Can more people win?
That's in other continental countries!
In the land of India, wars are based on race and skin color. The whiter the skin of soldiers in the army, the greater the probability of victory. This is common sense!

Those Maratha soldiers were all black and black, and they didn't know where they had brought low-caste untouchables. What's the use of such people even if they were given swords made of fine steel?

If the untouchables fight fiercely, can the high-caste nobles ride on their heads for thousands of years?

Of course, Amir Khan just complained in his heart.

Because he knows that the military strength of the area where the Maratha Alliance is located has not been high, and the war really depends on the number of people!
Basically, more people can beat fewer people...

It is no wonder that Cyndia has such a view.

After all, the environment in which Cyndia grew up was such a war situation.

It can't be said that he is stupid, it's just that the environment determines his vision.

The dull horn sounded, and Sindia was located on the top of the highest slope nearby. The Maratha army in the distance was like ants, and the ground was covered in darkness.

No matter where Cyndia looked with the binoculars, there were dense crowds of human heads and numerous spears.

Whether it is the East or the West, as long as it is a cold weapon army on the Eurasian continent, spears, bows and arrows will always be the most important weapons, none of them!

Although there are a lot of swords and swords, they are mainly used for self-defense. When fighting, the lines of battle line up against each other. The weapons are all one inch long and one inch strong. No matter how good your skills are, there is no room for you. Advance with a sword.

The few musketeers in the Maratha coalition army were placed by Sindia in the central army guarding him as a military force to protect him.

Therefore, the ones who really confronted the Tang army were all pure cold weapon troops.

tong tong~
The Tang army's artillery has not stopped since dawn, and has been bombarding the approaching Maratha army's battle line.

However, there are too many enemies. The Tang army's shells only scattered the advancing Maratha coalition army, and they could not smash the enemy's formation at all.

A large number of people can bring a sense of psychological security to the bottom soldiers, which is the so-called morale bonus.

The front, back, left, and right sides are all densely packed with their own people, and there is no end in sight at a glance. The ignorant soldiers will naturally feel very safe.

However, it was Tang Jun's goal to disrupt the advance formation of the Maratha coalition forces.

The next moment, the Yin soldiers rushed towards the Maratha coalition forces surrounded from all sides, relying on their virtual physique to easily "cut through" the forward array of the Maratha coalition forces, causing riots in the forward formation of the Maratha coalition forces .

The entire forward array became chaotic visible to the naked eye. Even if there were high-caste officers who kept killing people to restrain discipline, they still could not stabilize the turbulent morale of the Maratha coalition forwards in a short time.

It was the first time for the soldiers of the Maratha coalition army to see the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. Without Xue Beng, they were already very worthy of the general above.

Just when the Maratha Allied Forces were panicked by the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty passing through, the infantry guards lined up in two thin horizontal formations, marching in neat steps, raised their muskets and fired at them.

Of course, there are Japanese mercenaries on many fronts.

In the chaos, the archers of the Maratha coalition army were not organized at all, and the long-range arms and melee spearmen were mixed together, and the entire army formation came to a complete standstill.

It was at this fatal moment that the Tang army sent out a thin horizontal formation to shoot alternately at the forwards of the Maratha coalition forces.

Although the hit rate of the musket is not good, the lethality of the musket is not comparable to that of a crossbow. As long as you are hit by a gun, you will lose your combat power immediately if you are not dead. Male... oh no, the steel tough fell to his knees and rolled on the ground.

The platoon guns were not too close, and the guards were Li Changqing's baby bump, so the commander-in-chief of the Tang army, Da Si Ming, naturally did not dare to open them.

What's more, platooning guns is only an auxiliary function. If you want to defeat the Maratha coalition forces with a large number of people, you still have to rely on melee charges.

The platoons of guns firing alternately pushed the already chaotic forwards of the Maratha coalition forces back steadily, and there were even broken soldiers on the battlefield trying to escape.

The reason why I say I want it is because there are too many people in the Maratha coalition army, and the formation is dense enough. If the people in the front row want to run, there will be crowds behind them, and they can't squeeze out at all!
Moreover, the people in the back row couldn't see the miserable situation in the front row, and there were a large number of military officers with their personal guards to smash the heads of the soldiers. .

In this way, the forward of the Maratha coalition army just started the battle, and an enemy was not killed, so their own people huddled together with their own people.

Because the striker formation is too "heavy", under the crowded squeeze, there is even a phenomenon of trampling on each other.

At this time, as long as you fall down, you basically don't want to get up again...

The forward of the Maratha coalition army was trampled to death by his own people, and even quickly overtook the people who were shot and killed by the Tang army!

In this way, under the alternating forward shooting of the guards and Japanese mercenaries, the Maratha coalition forward's original wide and thick formation was squeezed more and more flat.

Finally, as more and more soldiers in the front fled, the soldiers in the back row felt that they had lost the battle, and large numbers of soldiers in the back row were surrounded by the rout.

The collapse broke out at this moment!

As the number of rout soldiers increased sharply, the military officers and personal guards who cut off the heads of the rout soldiers could no longer stop them.

Aware of this scene, the ranks of the Tang army rushed out of a group of orc infantry as sharp knives and Japanese mercenaries holding samurai swords as their torsos, shouting and charging into the vanguard of the Maratha coalition army that was beginning to rout.

For a while, the forward of the Maratha coalition army was bleeding, and the rout was quickly squeezed to the front of the reserve team behind the forward.

The generals of the Maratha coalition army are also ruthless, or in other words, the two sides do not belong to the same 'state' at all. Tang Junzhong.

The forward reserve team of the Maratha coalition army is more than the forward army!
This is the advantage of having a large number of people, and the enemy seems to be unable to kill them all.

Therefore, it is theoretically impossible for the vanguard's rout to overwhelm the reserve line behind.

What's more, the reserve team has more than one line of battle.

However, at this moment, the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty who penetrated to the back of the reserve team suddenly turned their spearheads and killed the carbine. After pouring into the archery reserve team, they immediately materialized and slashed and killed the archers.

This random killing immediately exploded the front line of the reserve team!
Without the rain of arrows to stop the vanguard's rout, the pace remained unchanged, and they continued to run!
In the front, there were rout soldiers and the Tang army's charge queue, and behind them, there was a reserve team attacked by terrible Yin soldiers, and they were defeated quickly without any accident.

The sharp-knife troops composed of orc infantry surrounded by routs smashed in again, and the second rout broke out in an instant!

Seeing that the tactical goal was achieved, the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty re-emerged one after another. During the short period of materialization, they were not only counterattacked by the enemy in front of them, but also remotely attacked by the reserve team of the Maratha coalition army behind them. Many people died.

The position of Qin Chao Yin soldiers in the rear is very dangerous.

It's a pity that the Maratha coalition army has learned the experience and lessons of the defeated generals of the Tang army. The Chinese army is hidden in the densely packed army, and the Tang army commander can't see it at all.

Like ordinary general flags, this made it difficult for the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty who interspersed to find the central army of the Maratha coalition army.

Even if it is found, Sindia, the supreme commander who killed the Maratha coalition army, will not be able to defeat the Maratha coalition army.

This is different from the Qing army at the beginning. The feudal lords controlled by various military leaders below, and the supreme commander is just a coordinating role.

It is not the existence of keeping promises.

Therefore, if you want to defeat the Maratha coalition forces, you must follow the normal rhythm of the war.

The blurred Qin Chao Yin soldiers once again entered the state of being invulnerable to attack.

However, at this moment, a group of people wearing Brahmin uniforms suddenly appeared behind Qin Chaoyin soldiers, and began to chant spells while waving their hands.

The extraordinary power of Hinduism is relatively weak, and the Indian warrior class who have not yet taken the physical route can fight.

However, the extraordinary power of Hinduism, or the extraordinary power of Buddhism born out of Hinduism, has a special skill that specializes in dealing with ghosts and other intangible existences.

Groups of light balls with essence power shot into Qin Chao Yinbing's body, this scene caught Tang Jun by surprise.

The Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty showed their talents in the Battle of Lahore. How could the top leaders of the Maratha Alliance fight the Tang army without thinking of countermeasures?

The invisible soldiers of the Qin Dynasty finally met their nemesis. After being hit by the light group, they immediately turned into blue smoke and purified.

After Qin Chao Yin soldiers saw it, they could only re-transform into entities, and only entities could resist this kind of purification light group.

However, the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty who possessed entities were quickly besieged by ordinary Maratha soldiers.

Fortunately, at this time, the sharp-knife troop composed of orcs came over, and gathered together with the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty to repel the counterattack of the Maratha coalition forces.

There were too many people in the Maratha Allied Forces. It was not the refueling counterattack of the Maratha Allied Forces that finally forced the Tang Army to stop the offensive, but the attacking Tang Army. The mercenaries, the Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and the orc infantry were all exhausted and out of breath, and countless Maratha soldiers could still be seen rushing up...

For this reason, Da Si Ming had to take action himself, resorting to the ultimate magic trick, devouring blood and killing the Maratha coalition forces that rushed up in waves, before withdrawing the attacking team safely.

Sindia was not surprised at all when she saw that her side had suffered such a huge loss as soon as the war started. She said confidently, "The war has just begun."
