Chapter 415: Sunset afterglow (9)

Panipat is the border city of the North Delhi Sultanate in its northern border, bordering the Timur Khanate, but it is not a major city.

The garrisons in Suli usually do not exceed 10,000, and most of them are indigenous soldiers who are old, weak, sick and disabled, and even combat effectiveness is not as good as those of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. The reason is that Mahmud has no precautions against the Timur Khanate at all.

The situation has become so decayed that it will not be easy to defend against the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhou Jinshan's cavalry guards left the north driving of Delhi, their advance scouts had already figured out Panipat's general situation. In Zhou Jinshan's view, this was simply a contribution to the door.

"Send orders to camp, rest for a night, and attack the city tomorrow morning."

The key to cavalry is speed, so this time the army did not carry cannons and siege equipment, so they could only make a batch of simple ladders overnight. Large objects such as city climbing towers and city hammers cannot be built.

The personal soldiers were about to leave and pass the order, but suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Jinshan frowned, and then his face changed slightly.

The next moment, Zhou Jinshan lay on the ground, pressed his ears against the ground, his face that had changed slightly turned sharply, and he jumped up from the ground and shouted: "The whole army is in good condition, the enemy attacks!"

The loud assembly horn sounded, fortunately, the entire army had not yet fallen into the camp at this moment, so although they were a little panicked, they were not busy. The elite were elites, and ten thousand people quickly assembled, and the formation of Marxism and Lenin was clearly established.

"The scouts sent out didn't even report a letter, it seems that the entire army was wiped out."

Zhou Jinshan frowned and smelled the danger.

"It would never be done by the defenders in Panipat City, then the identity of this unknown enemy will be revealed."

Timur Khanate!

"No matter who he is, I have heard of the name of this country before, but I have never fought against him."

The deputy general was very relieved and rode on the horse to look at it, but the night was dark. Even if there were dozens of torches in his hands, he could only see the end of his sight, which seemed to be there and not.

Although I can't see it, the crisp sound of horse hooves and the clanging sound of golden swords intersecting is becoming clearer and clearer in my ears.

"Xilulu~!!!"

The horses neighed one after another, and the uninvited army finally stopped charging, allowing Zhou Jinshan and others to see their true appearance.

There were not many people, about 5,000, but Zhou Jinshan and his deputy general both felt a sank.

This is an absolute elite!

I can't see clearly because whether it is a human or a horse, it is almost completely covered with armor, whether it is a horse's face or a human face.

"A armored cavalry."

Zhou Jinshan took a deep breath and stayed in India for several years. He was naturally familiar with the general composition of the Timur Khanate military system, such as Zhou Jinshan, who was the middle and senior military generals. After only one glance, he knew who the opponent was.

"Timur's lame man's personal guard back then."

How could this army come to Panipat?

Zhou Jinshan's hand holding the knife was filled with sweat, but he was not afraid, but he was still nervous, and more so, he was excited for the soldiers.

As for war, what's the point of cutting melons and vegetables? Of course, you have to fight elites to enjoy it.

"I will report a letter to Ma Shuai first, and say that our army encountered the armored cavalry of the Timur Khanate in Panipat, and the latter had the possibility of intervening in the Indian battlefield."

The battle has not yet begun and the outcome is unpredictable, so the first military order under Zhou Jinshan was to send people back to report the news.

As soon as the personal soldiers moved, the sound of horse hooves was like a fuse. The armored cavalry formation that had stopped moving suddenly started. A battle that both sides might have unexpectedly started.

"That's a fucking!"

Zhou Jinshan spat, it was so bad that large-scale legion battles in such an environment would not benefit anyone, but the enemy had already launched a charge, and it would be impossible not to fight.

Just blow the charge. After all, at this time, you can’t use any tactics or command. After all, if you shake the flag, you can’t see both wings seriously, and you can only command the battle through sound.

Except for Zhou Jinshan and the central army did not move, nearly 8,000 Ming troops on both wings surrounded and met after the charge rang.

During the collision, shouting and killing shocked the sky, people were rushing to the horse, and countless sparks were splashed, which were brought by sharp blades passing through the armor.

"Die."

A Ming army soldier galloped on a horse and slashed the sword in his hand when he was approaching. He thought he could split the enemy into two from his waist, but he never thought that the enemy would not dodge or avoid it, and the scimitar in his hand slashed the sword in his hand.

The two cavalry crossed, and the Ming army's athlete was split in half, with a blood line directly reaching her chin from the forehead.

“What a beautiful pattern.”

The last sentence that he muttered before his consciousness dissipated became the last words of the athlete. At the moment of interlacing, the cavalry saw the dense patterns of various patterns on the blade under the moonlight.

The first collision occurred, the two armies separated, and then they turned their horses and continued to charge.

Once and again, Zhou Jinshan, who had been holding back his troops, was frightened.

The number of cavalry guards under his command is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

On the other hand, this armored horse rider has almost no damage.

"Isn't this the replica of the Wanyan Juzhen Tiefutu back then? Damn, our army did not bring a sabre, and did not go down to the camp to conquer the trapped horse pit beforehand. If we can continue to fight here, we just let our soldiers die. General, let's retreat."

The deputy general was so angry that he was furious that the enemy was wearing armor and the sword in his hand was extremely sharp. This was simply a crushing force on external weapons and equipment. If he continued to fight like this, he would be in vain to lose the lives of the soldiers.

"The two armies bit each other and now they want to retreat. If the enemy chases them, then the entire army will be wiped out."

Zhou Jinshan was also anxious, but he did not dare to order the withdrawal of troops rashly, because in these several charges he found that even though the enemy was armoured, the horsepower was still faster than the Ming army!

The external factors that affect the combat effectiveness of cavalry are nothing more than horses, weapons, armor and bows and arrows. It is now at night, so riding and shooting are definitely not comparable, but in the remaining three aspects, the Ming army was completely defeated!

As for the internal factors, it is nothing more than the soldiers' fighting willpower and personal ability, but no matter how Zhou Jinshan looks at it, he feels something is wrong.

This enemy army is like a group of emotional executioners.

They mechanized the charge, mechanized the sword and slashed, without dodging or blocking. Even if the Ming army's sword was slashing towards the door or neck, they still met in such a mechanical manner.

Even if the result is the separation of the corpse!

"Mingjin withdraws his troops, brothers can't hold on."

If he continues to fight, Zhou Jinshan is afraid that his side will collapse first, so he gritted his teeth and growled: "I will take the central army to the rear, and you will bring the withdrawn brothers back to Delhi."

The deputy general was stunned.

The palace queen, wouldn’t that be killed?

"If there is no one to stop it, it will be a collapse on the whole line. But if there is any mistake, our guard will be finished, just like that."

Zhou Jinshan stopped talking nonsense and signaled his personal soldiers to pass the order.

"That should be left by me."

The deputy general dissuaded him and was stopped by Zhou Jinshan.

"I'm talking nonsense. I'm the main general. The situation of defeat in this time is powerless to reverse. Even if I withdraw to Delhi, the military law is not tolerated. I'm going to die at all times and without any other. Of course, I'm going to die more valuable."

After saying that, he would no longer give the deputy general the chance to interrupt, tighten the reins and lead the team to resolutely launch a charge.

The investment of Zhou Jinshan's new force made the Ming cavalry, whose formation had completely collapsed, breathed and reorganized, and most of them were willing to fight. The deputy general looked at Zhou Jinshan's direction deeply and shouted.
