Chapter 663: Hard Bone One


The Hui army didn't want to be rough at first, after all, the regular Indian army had withdrawn, and those who remained here were either ordinary people or militia armies, and it would be easy to take this place.They also want to rule the place for a long time, and they don't want to kill the locals as soon as they come.However, the increasingly severe situation forced the Hui army to reconsider its strategy for dealing with the enemy.Every time they passed through a city, hundreds of soldiers disappeared for no reason, and not even a single corpse could be found.The most infuriating thing is that at a glance, there are all ordinary people who are harmless to humans and animals, and they can't even find the murderer.The generals of the five wings quickly reached a unanimous opinion, that is, to adopt the method of slaughtering the city, and to kill all the people and not the people.This is also a helpless move, and if there is any other way, no one wants to take this step.If you want to slaughter the city, you will inevitably have to invest huge manpower and material resources, and it will delay the entire march time.You must know that the Huaxing Army is marching here at full speed, and if you take a slow step, you will be taken by the Huaxing Army first.After the order to slaughter the city was issued, the Hui army also let go of their hands and feet and started killing.As long as you see a Rajput person, you will kill all men, women and children.The whole state of Rajasthan immediately became boiling, and the kings of the 18 princely states immediately organized a coalition of armies against the Hui army.These Rajputs don't need to be trained at all, and when they take up arms, they are warriors who are not afraid of life and death.However, the times are different, the Hui army is not the Huns, let alone the Mongols, they are a new army armed with breech guns.Although the Rajputs were brave, they were armed with cold weapons, and they were not at all in the same order of magnitude as the Hui army.The two sides fought several battles with each other, and the combined forces of the Rajputs were defeated, and half of the 18 princely states were slaughtered by the Hui army.Seeing that the situation was not right, the remnants of the soldiers and horses all retreated towards Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan.Jaipur is a very poetic city, and the whole city is a pink color.Not only are the roofs and walls pink, but even women's scarves are pink, so it is also known as the "Pink City".The city is the largest of the 18 princely states, surrounded by mountains on three sides, lush forests, and a very strategic location.The castle of the king of the princely states was built on a hill, tall and majestic, and unusually strong.The surrounding city wall is built along the ridge, about 70 kilometers long, with 32 beacon towers along the way, which is the same as the Great Wall of China, and can accommodate more than 100,000 people in wartime.This is the last foundation of the Rajput people, and the castle has stood between the hilltops without any damage after hundreds of years of wars.The Hui army burned and looted all the way, and no longer fantasized about being able to rule here, and did not let go of any of the things that could be ruined, and all the materials that could be looted were transported back to Pakistan.They had seen the fierceness of the Rajputs, who were nothing more than stones in a pit, smelly and hard, and would rather die than give in.If you want to rule this area completely, you must kill them all and move the Hui people to live here.However, that is not likely to happen now.Because they had received accurate information, the Huaxing army had already rushed into the territory of Rajasthan, which was only a hundred kilometers away from Jaipur.By this time, the Hui army had already stormed the city of Jaipur dozens of times.But the Rajputs relied on dangerous fortifications and fought them back each time.This is also to blame the Hui army for traveling lightly and simply, without carrying any siege equipment, and there is not even a single artillery piece in the army.In field battles, breech foreign guns can also exert great power by relying on their dense firepower volleys.But when attacking the fortress, it did not work at all, and it was not as effective as the projectile of bows and arrows.When Du Wenxiu, the commander of the Hui army, learned of the arrival of Huaxing, he immediately informed the generals of the whole army to abandon the plan to forcibly occupy Rajasthan.The army immediately retreated, and only had to plunder the women and supplies along the way back to Pakistan.The generals of the five roads were ready to do a big job, but even when the Huaxing army came, they didn't want to let this piece of fat out.Who knew that if this hard nail was encountered in Jaipur, it would be useless to besiege the city here for more than ten days.Now that Du Wenxiu's order came, they didn't have the sharpness in their hearts, so they could only order the withdrawal of the army in frustration and hand over this hard bone to the Huaxing army to gnaw.He ordered everything that could be snatched along the way to be snatched up, everything that could be burned was burned out, and everything that could be destroyed was destroyed, just because he didn't want the Huaxing army and these Rajputs to have a good time.As soon as the Hui army made such a fuss, half of Rajasthan's 18 princely states were destroyed, leaving only the desert area to the west without losses.The most severely damaged were the eastern princely states, where almost all the cities and villages passed by the Hui army were reduced to ruins, and not a single living creature could be found.The Tibet Military Region of the Huaxing Army sent a division of troops here, and the division commander was named Deng Zhou, who was only 25 years old, and he was still a young and strong young man.At the beginning, he followed Wu Xuming to pacify Tibet, and was promoted when the Tibet Military Region expanded its army.The tactics he proposed about mountain warfare were written into the textbook as a textbook by the Nanjing Army Academy.This set of tactics has a total of six points: First, concentrate forces and seize points to control the road.The second is to maneuver covertly and attack suddenly.The third is interspersed with detours and in-depth attacks.Fourth, it is necessary to fight independently and cut off and annihilate in parts.Fifth, it is a combination of fighting and suppression, and sticking to close combat.Sixth, it is necessary to strengthen vigilance and guard against enemy attacks.After Qiao Zhiqing learned about this, he also praised him by name, and in the same year, he trained and formed the first mountain division in New China.The army marched all the way to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, and received little resistance along the way, and the Indian nobility had turned to the Huaxing army, no longer expecting the protection of the British.The Huaxing army originally came to India to establish a colony, so naturally there was no need to offend these nobles for the sake of the people at the bottom.They maintained their previous ruling order, and through these nobles they continued to plunder profits from India.If the nobles were interested, they would have lost nothing at all, but the eldest brother was changed from Britain to New China.In the end, it's not the same as who you mess with, you have to pay the money you should pay anyway, so naturally you won't work hard for the UK.Once inside Rajasthan, the more you drive towards Jaipur, the more dilapidated the towns along the way become.Within a radius of 100 miles, there is not even a figure.Fortunately, the logistics and supplies of the Huaxing Army are relatively perfect, otherwise they would not even be able to find a grain of rice here.The Rajputs had already seen the retreat of the Hui army, and had already come out of the castle one after another to rebuild their homes.But news immediately came from the front that an eastern army with the same face as the elders of the Hui army was coming again.The kings of the princely states were about to vomit blood, and they did not understand where these easterners came from.One batch was withdrawn, and another batch came.Although there was plenty of food in the fortifications of the castle, more than 100,000 people could not last long if they sat on the mountain and ate nothing.After discussing it, the kings decided to go out of the city and take the initiative to attack these easterners.They don't believe that the Orientals are so powerful, even if they can't defeat the Hui army, they can't defeat this army of unknown origin.As soon as the Huaxing army entered the territory of Jaipur, it was attacked by the Rajputs.Because Jaipur is surrounded by mountains on three sides, only one side can enter and exit, so the Rajput army is also specially waiting for the Huaxing army here.When the battle began, Deng Zhou was almost amused by these Rajput troops.They weren't regular soldiers in the first place, and they didn't even have uniform uniforms.They were dressed in a variety of clothes, with pink turbans wrapped around their heads, and most of the soldiers were barefoot, not even a pair of shoes.It was a completely scattered charge, jumping and jumping like a monkey and howling.The Huaxing army was spread out in a straggler line, in groups of two, staggered back and forth.The mortar battalion and machine-gun company, at the forefront of the position, were dispersed by crossfire.When these Rajput troops rushed to a range of 500 meters, Deng Zhou waved the order flag to open fire on all fronts.For a time, there was a lot of gunfire and a rumbling of cannons.Bullets and shells rained down on the Rajput army.The princes of the princely states went to the front to supervise the battle, and when they saw that the strength of the Huaxing army was less than one-fifth of their own, they were all full of confidence in victory.But the guns rang out from the front line, and almost everyone's eyes widened, thinking that the devil had come out of hell, and the soldiers were almost slaughtered in batches.The horn of the retreat sounded, and tens of thousands of corpses had fallen on the battlefield at this time.The smell of blood is everywhere, and the city, which was already pink, is now even more weird.As soon as the kings of the princely states combined, they decided to use their killer weapon, which was also the last trump card in their hands.When they returned to the army to attack the city, they didn't use this trump card, they just wanted to fight to the death at the last moment.Deng Zhou looked around the battlefield with a relaxed face with a telescope, he had commanded him to shoot in such a cluster many times, and now he saw a lot of dead people, and his stomach was no longer disgusted.He kept an eye on the movement on the front line, and had already guessed in his heart that there must be some means that these Indians had not tried.Since they have withdrawn their troops, they have not completely retreated, but they have only been stationed outside the range of guns, far away from the Huaxing army."

Division commander, what do these guys want to do, should we take the initiative to attack" Deputy division commander Yang Chen rushed over to ask Deng Zhou for orders, his face was full of anxious expressions, he had no patience to consume with these monkeys."

Wait a minute, they will see if there is any other trick that they have not tried.Inform the soldiers to be vigilant, no matter at any time, do not underestimate the enemy" Deng Zhou glared at him, and won all the way, and the soldiers under his command inevitably felt a little light."

Yes" Yang Chen's expression immediately returned to seriousness, and after saluting Deng Zhou, he immediately passed on his order.The Huaxing Army that he participated in with Deng Zhou was also a playmate who grew up with him, and he always had a hippie smile in front of Deng Zhou."

Woo woo woo" Another horn sounded from Rajput's army, but this time it was quick and loud, and it was a trumpet of impact."

Knock, knock, knock" Soon, the ground shook violently like an earthquake.All the Huaxing troops stared ahead with wide eyes, not knowing what tricks these Indians were going to use
