"Honorable Great Khan, I am ordered by the King of Kings to come to ask you, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?"
The king of the sun is not stupid, he knows that a strong attack may be able to achieve victory, but the price paid will be high, the best way is to let the enemy take the initiative to go out of the city to fight with them, and then destroy their living force, so he sent an envoy to carry out the method of agitation on Li Lu, wanting to provoke Li Lu and induce Li Lu to go out of the city to fight.But to the surprise of the Tianzhu envoy and the king of the sun, Li Lu said without changing his color, "You go back and tell your king of kings, he wants to fight, I will fight, you tell Holisha, let him wash his neck and wait for Gu to cut off his head......"
Li Lu and the Tianzhu envoy said that the decisive battle would be fought in five days, and if they couldn't wait, they could attack the city.The King of the Ring Sun was naturally angry, this Li Lu was so crazy that he wanted to cut off his head, and Ma Dan had to give him some color to see, so that he could know that the prestige of the King of Kings was not blown.As for the siege that Li Lu said, the king of the ring sun thought about it, but the envoy who had been to the other party's camp told him that the city wall of the Jiankun people was unusually strong, and he cut it with an iron knife before cutting a white seal, which made the king of the ring of the sun dispel the plan to forcibly attack the city."
I don't understand, how did the people of Jiankun build this large fortress out of large stones in such a short period of time?
Can any of you tell me?"
The king looked at his civil and military ministers and those well-read Brahmin priests and Buddhist monks, hoping that they would give him an answer, but unfortunately, no one knew how the Jiankun people did it.The siege is not sure, the king of the sun can only wait, and the British army in the fortifications will be full of food and drink and then fight with them in the field, so many people are together, the consumption of people eating and chewing, especially the food and grass that those war elephants need every day, it is an astronomical amount at the end of the day, and the king of the sun is also very anxious, but the other party said that it will take five days later, then he can only wait for five days to say, as for the lack of food and grass, the king of the sun does not care, those Vaishya infantry are consumables in his opinion, and it is a big deal to appropriate their grain and grass first.The British soldiers in the fortifications were drinking milk powder, eating cheese and dried milk, and there were excellent dried meat waiting for them every day, so the British soldiers were not satisfied, saying that they were not delicious and unhappy without green vegetables; Whenever the soldiers were complaining like this, the officers took them to the city wall to watch the Tianzhu people eat, and from the clairvoyance mirror, you can see that the Tianzhu people in the distance are only those officers and cavalry eating meat, and those infantry are gnawing grass, that's right, they are gnawing grass, and there was rice at first, and then the king of the ring ordered to replace the polished rice with grass and rice bran, and they have been gnawing grass and drinking rice bran since the third day of the confrontation, maybe the Tianzhu people can't imagine that their descendants on another timeline are more than a thousand years later, The logistics officers of the Indian army also fooled their soldiers in this way, well, this is also traditional.After seeing the treatment of the Tianzhu animals, the British soldiers were immediately ashamed, and said that they wanted to go out of the city to fight to the death with this group of animals......
After five days of confrontation, the well-fed and well-fed British army finally opened the fortifications, and the well-trained British army quickly began to form a formation, and the Tianzhu people saw that the Jiankun people were finally willing to go out of the city, and after the Brahmin priests and Buddhist monks practiced, they also started their formation, and a great battle began on the plains of Panipat.The first to come into contact was the right army of the King of the Ring Sun and the left wing of the British army led by Chang Yuchun.Flying horses' hooves and heavy elephant hooves stirred up clouds of dust.The warriors of the Daomen and the warriors of Lord Shiva are mixed together, and if one side is still black and the other is yellow, it is impossible to distinguish who is whose enemy and who is whose comrade-in-arms.The Kshatriya cavalry were not inferior to the Gyungkun in terms of combat skills, and although they did not have the excellent armor and weapons of the Kinkun heavy cavalry, their numerical superiority offset the Tenkun superiority in equipment.In the midst of the melee, the Ringing King's war elephants began to show great power.They stood on their hind legs and stepped on their feet, and the heavy cavalry like the proud Black Panther Rider of the Jiankun people turned into a mess of meat with men and horses.As soon as their noses were stretched out, one or more British soldiers flew into the sky and fell half-dead.The elephant soldiers on the back of the elephants stabbed with spears, which doubled the lethality of the war elephants.Chang Yuchun had to provide fire support for his crossbowmen who were destined to lose, and also sent outlaws to attack the behemoth's flank.Although the war elephants are covered with thick skin, but their eyes and noses lack effective means of protection, not to mention those on the back of the elephants, you must know that the crossbows and arrows of the British army are all special three-edged armor-piercing cones, which are very good at armor-piercing, but none of the outlaws who are close to the war elephants are spared, because the king of the sun has allocated ten to twenty light infantry for each war elephant to provide protection.Although Chang Yuchun's crossbowmen achieved a lot of results, but as time went by, the right army of the King of the Ring of the Sun, which had superior troops and war elephants, gained the upper hand, and the left wing of the British army kept retreating.Just when the left flank of the British army was in a bitter battle, Xu Da, who was in command, took the lead in sending a team of archers to harass the left army of the King of the Ring.In the eyes of the Tianzhu people, these archers looked like they had come to die, and they took small steps and fired several rounds of volleys out of range, and those arrows were weak and useless.Seeing this, the commander of the left army of the King of the Ring of the Sun immediately sent his elite Kshatriya cavalry to expel them.There was no suspense, the British archers fled, and they kept throwing gold, silver and ordnance along the way.Few of the Kshatriya cavalry could restrain their greed, dismounted one after another to collect the spoils, and some soldiers even drew their swords against their comrades because of the uneven distribution of the spoils.Adnan, the commander of the Left Army, who was on fire in the rear, immediately led his guards to rush forward in an attempt to restore order there.At this moment, there was a sound like a cloud cracking stone, and a large number of bullets were fired at the busy Tianzhu cavalry and the commander's guard, it turned out that Li Lu's personal guards were borrowed by Xu Da and put into the battlefield, and they took advantage of the enemy's opportunity to pick up the spoils of war, and quietly detoured to the side.The large and chaotic crowd was the best target, and this time hundreds of people were killed, and Adnan was also killed.Li Lu's personal guards are all composed of system people, each of them is a good hand who can use an arquebus on the back of a bumpy horse, the Tianzhu people have never seen such a thing as a musket, Adnan and his guards died unjustly at all.Soon the Tianzhu cavalry expelled Li Lu's elite guards.These elite musketeers rode back to their positions and began to reload for the next shot.Since the death of the commander Adnan, the morale of the Left Army of the King of the Ring has plummeted.Even though they had not yet withdrawn from the battlefield, they had become slack, and were less willing to engage with the right wing of the Jiankun people.None of them had ever seen the power of the arquebus, and the tragic death of the commander was a source of lingering fear, despite the fact that the officers drove them away with leather whips, and the Brahmin priests and Buddhist monks repeatedly practiced it.In the face of the seriously weakened left army of the king of the sun, Wang Fangyi not only decisively strengthened the offensive on the right flank, but like Chang Yuchun, they also encountered the obstruction of war elephants, coupled with the large number of people, although Wang Fangyi was not retreating like Chang Yuchun's left wing, but there was not much progress, and there were more ants and could bite the elephant to death, not to mention so many enemies with weapons in their hands.Returning to the side of the King of the Sun, Adnan, the commander of the left army, died violently, and the victory of the right army was indefinite, which made the King of the Sun very anxious.However, the British army was not easy to go far, and the forward troops of the British army, under the leadership of Xue Zan, tried to outflank the left and right armies of the King of the Ring, but were defeated by part of the new force sent by the King of the Ring, and failed to reorganize for the second time.The development of the battlefield forced the King of the Ring to leave his own camp, and he prepared to personally attack the central position of the Jiankun people, which he regarded as a fortress.It was an adventure, and the King of the Sun was not stupid, he knew that in the absence of support, there was never much good fruit to eat in a brazen attack on the opponent's heavily protected fortress.But the King of the Sun has his self-confidence, and he still has 100,000 energetic elite soldiers ready to go into battle.Nearly 10,000 Tianzhu infantry were shouted by officers on horseback, and under the cover of the soldiers in the front row carrying wooden skin shields, they carried the silt collected from the river and the firewood used for cooking on their shoulders, and moved towards the position of the British Chinese army.An attempt to fill in the ravine in front of the British fortifications.When they entered a distance of 400 paces, the Jiankun people opened fire, and due to the dense number of enemy troops, more than 1,000 people were killed in one fell swoop, and the remaining Tianzhu soldiers scrambled to escape.As for why you don't use the impact of war elephants, it's because the king of the sun has found out that the other party is not afraid of war elephants at all, and even their war horses are not panicked, which shows that the other party must have carried out targeted training, and the war elephants are not easy to use at this time, besides, can those Vaishyas be compared with expensive war elephants?
Before the gunners on the British side had time to cheer, another equal number of Tianzhu infantry appeared.They took the runaway's stakes and bamboo baskets and trotted over at a faster pace, which happened almost instantaneously.The British gunners simply did not have time to reload their guns, because it took a quarter of an hour and three quarters of an hour to reload the light and heavy guns respectively, unlike the cannons of later generations, these cannons made by Li Lu were very primitive, and each shot required a short cooldown time after firing.The musketeers and crossbowmen did not stop the Tianzhu infantry, protected by skinned wooden shields, and they soon filled in the trenches of the Jiankun people.The heavy infantry and dismounted cavalry of the King of the Sun braved a rain of arrows and arquebuses, as well as shrappels that could break people to pieces, and bravely slashed the wooden stakes in front of the city walls with their great axes, which opened the way for their army in a rain of bullets and arrows.The Kshatriya dismounted cavalrymen were especially brave.Wielding swords and shields, they climbed the walls and slashed at the British soldiers on them.Some of the daring men had even jumped off the city wall and ran towards the location of Li Lu's royal tent.
