Daming Military Empire

Chapter 400
Dara Shik was also using binoculars to carefully observe the situation of the Ming army at this time. However, the actions of the Ming army were very puzzling. After they formed their formation, they did not attack or drown, and just stood upright. There.

What does this mean, than patience?No matter how he compared it, he couldn't charge the heavy armored infantry. The heavy armored infantry ran for three miles with a huge shield, so they would be exhausted and half dead, and they would even beat a fart!
Since the opponent is going to be exhausted, let's spend it, anyway, he will not rush up, more than patience, he has plenty.

However, the general of the Ming army on the opposite side seemed impatient. After the two sides confronted each other for a while, he actually withdrew the cavalry on the right wing.

Is this trying to lure me into attacking the right wing?Dara Shik curled his lips in disdain, only a fool would rush forward!
Afterwards, the entire battlefield entered into an eerie calm. The two sides did not speak or attack. They just confronted each other quietly, as if they were troops waiting for inspection.

After almost an hour, the Ming army finally moved. It was still the right wing, or the cavalry, but this time the right wing cavalry came back again, and it seemed that there was a little more.

Dara Shik was still unmoved. At this moment, he thought a lot, and he found that he still had a chance to withdraw. As long as everyone retreated to the camp at night, he could let his soldiers go to the camp. Rest in the middle of the night, and run directly in the middle of the night. When the Ming army reacted the next morning, they had already ran out dozens of miles!
Of course, Lu Xiangsheng wasn't trying to be patient with Dara Shikebi. He was just waiting for the cavalry on the right wing to arrive. Now that the cavalry had arrived, he was ready to launch immediately.

For thermal weapons combat in this period, you must first figure out the range, approximate number, and approximate location of the opponent's artillery, because the lethality of the artillery is too great.

Lu Xiangsheng was naturally aware of this, and when the cavalry on the right wing had completed their formation, he immediately ordered: "Order the infantry in the front row to maintain their formation and move forward a hundred steps at a normal pace."

The orderly galloped away, and soon, the infantry in the front row began to step forward neatly.

This speed of advancement confused Dara Shik again. Judging from the posture of the Ming army, it is definitely not intended to charge. What is the meaning of moving over so slowly?
He had never confronted people with artillery, so he naturally didn't know that the Ming army wanted to test the range, approximate number, and approximate location of the artillery on his side.

Soon, the infantry in the front row moved forward a hundred steps and stopped there.

Lu Xiangsheng continued to order with a blank face: "Order the infantry in the front row to maintain formation and move forward a hundred steps at a positive pace."

Soon, the infantry in the front row moved forward another hundred steps, but there was still no movement on the other side.

Lu Xiangsheng continued to order with a blank face: "Order the infantry in the front row to maintain formation and move forward a hundred steps at a positive pace."

Soon, the infantry in the front row moved forward another hundred steps, but there was still no movement on the opposite side. This has advanced one mile, which means that the distance between the two sides is only two miles, and the opposite side has not fired yet!
How did he know that Dara Shik didn't care about artillery at all. He took dozens of them with him, but they were all thrown into the camp.

At this distance, the [-]-type howitzer can almost hit the enemy's forward. Since you don't bombard it, then I will bombard it.

Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth, and directly ordered: "Order, the artillery, the cavalry on the left and right wings, and the infantry of the Siamese Legion, move forward at a normal pace of [-] steps."

Soon the artillery, the cavalry on the left and right wings, and the infantry of the Siamese Legion all advanced three hundred steps forward, and the Ming army returned to the formation at the beginning.

Lu Xiangsheng ordered without hesitation: "All [-]-type howitzers are loaded with solid ammunition and fired for a test round."

Of course Dara Shik knew that the Ming army had artillery, and he also knew that this distance had already entered the range of the artillery. The reason why he didn't move at all was actually because he wanted to see how many artillery the Ming army had.

"Boom boom boom" artillery roared from the Ming army formation, more than 200 rounds of solid bullets flew into the shield formation with an arc, and more than 200 unlucky Mughal soldiers became the victims of the temptation of the generals on both sides, and the shields were smashed. It was torn apart, and people were almost smashed to pieces.

Dara Shik breathed a sigh of relief. There were only more than 200 cannons, and there was still a chance. He ordered without hesitation: "Keep the formation and retreat slowly for a mile."

Lu Xiangsheng saw a row of artillery shells blasting past. The opponent did not use the artillery to fight back, but retreated slowly. Finally, he understood that there was no artillery in the opponent's formation, so there was nothing to worry about. He directly ordered: "All The army has them all, go forward and follow up."

One of the two sides retreated and the other advanced, as if they were rehearsing the formation, and cooperated tacitly. It seemed that they were playing a friendly match, but of course it was not like this.
After retreating for a mile, Dara Shik immediately ordered: "The infantry stay in formation, and the cavalry is ready to charge."

After all, he raised his binoculars and swept towards the opponent. The Ming army did not stop as he imagined, but was still approaching slowly. He couldn't help but get excited: "Very well, let's let you blast a few rounds again and again!" How about it, later you will know how powerful the armored cavalry is, come a little closer, a little closer."

Lu Xiangsheng is also using a telescope to estimate the distance between the enemy and us. His idea is very simple, as long as the opponent's shield array is completely within the range of the artillery, he will go straight to it!
As the Ming army advanced, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, two miles, one and a half miles, one mile.

This distance has reached the expectations of the chief generals of both sides, and the chief generals of both sides issued orders almost at the same time.

Dara Shik howled excitedly: "Cavalry charge!"

Lu Xiangsheng calmly ordered: "The whole army stops advancing, all artillery is loaded with solid ammunition, and bombards continuously."

At this moment, thunderous hoofbeats sounded from the left and right rear wings of the Mughal Empire, and the armored cavalry came!
Lu Xiangsheng ordered without hesitation: "Let Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming lead the cavalry to meet me, and the armored cavalry must not be allowed to rush into the infantry formation."

Soon, the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Ming army also began to charge. More than [-] cavalry charged at each other. The sound of horseshoes shook the sky, and the entire battlefield seemed to tremble!

Dara Shik is confident. The heavy cavalry and the light cavalry confront each other, even if it is one to two, they still have the advantage, because the heavy cavalry and the horse are both wearing heavy armor, even if they directly hit them, they can hit each other. Turn over a large area, and you will have the advantage in hand-to-hand combat. You slash, we are all covered in heavy armor, you can slash as you like, but if I slash you, you will be finished!
Lu Xiangsheng is also confident, one hundred thousand light cavalry against fifty thousand heavy cavalry, it may be a bit difficult to wipe them out, but it is not a problem to entangle them, as long as the heavy armored infantry in the middle is eliminated, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, what is the use? Surround them and stab them to death!
