Chapter 579 A ridiculous trap!

These Chinese, who are despicable and shameless to the extreme, will always appear around our coalition forces unexpectedly. Their cavalry not only use sabers, but also use a headache of guns that can be fired together to harvest the lives of those poor Indians. They come and go like the wind. You can't imagine what they are. It will appear.

Sometimes it's at night, sometimes it's early morning, sometimes it's dusk, and even those Indian pagans are at ease when they pray.

The saddest thing is that they actually opened fire at us who had fallen asleep at night. The flowering bullets lit tents, military flags and forage in the camp. There were always people who kept getting hurt, and sometimes even let some unlucky ghosts go directly to God.

Artillery Lieutenant Colonel Karu kept complaining in his diary that the damn Chinese cavalry had caused great trouble for their coalition marches. But they had to boost the morale of the soldiers in the barracks.

"Three days, three days have passed, but we have only walked 80 miles. Your Highness, I want to know when we can reach the city of Miyangali?" Colonel Freeman's angry and helpless voice always echoed loudly in the barracks, but now he is roaring in the coalition's tent.

Asaf Jahi, the commander-in-chief of the coalition, looked helpless and unwilling: "This is something that no one wants to see, but those Chinese cavalry are like damn flies, flying around, at most three or four hundred horses, at least dozens of horses. Sometimes here, sometimes there, our cavalry are tired of running, but Yes, but there is no way to protect the whole army.

Coloe Foreman's tone was particularly mean: "But we can't continue to entangle with those Chinese bastards like this. If we go on like this, when we arrive at the city of Myanvali, maybe it has already become a monument."

"British, what do you mean by that?" An Indian local general stood up and shouted angrily. You British haven't let those Orientals beat you shit, otherwise, how could you come to us?

Colonel Foreman was so angry that he wanted to fight with this vulgar and barbaric Indian local general. Lieutenant Colonel Karu next to him quickly stopped the grumpy colonel. Colonel, please calm down. We are allies now. We shouldn't do this.

"I can't wait to send these bastards to hell." He stared at the proud local general fiercely, and Colonel Foreman gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Dear Highness, Colonel Foreman has no intention to quarrel with you. After all, we are a coalition, and we have only one enemy, that is, those Chinese who were once enemies of our British Empire, but now your interests have been seriously damaged. I believe no one denies this, right? " Lieutenant Colonel Karu raised his voice, and his words finally made the people present focus on him.

--------------------

"So now, the Chinese cavalry keeps harassing us. What is the purpose? The purpose is to make it difficult for us to walk, so that we can't get to the city of Mianvali in a short time and buy more time for the Chinese defenders in the city of Mianvali. Then, one thing we can be sure that there are certainly not many Chinese troops in the city of Mianvali, otherwise, this Chinese cavalry will not need to be sold like this at all. Come and disturb us with force.

"You're right, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." Asaf Jahi's face showed a look of identity, his fingers stroked his delicately trimmed beard, and pointed to the glass from the hand of the wheat-skinned maid. So I would like to ask Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, do you have any way to solve our current dilemma?

Lieutenant Colonel Karu glanced at the people present and said loudly, "They are cavalry, and the power is that we can't compare with the allied forces, but one thing is that they lack heavy weapons, so they can only fight and run. We need to design a trap to let the Chinese cavalry fall into the trap and slow them down. Then, concentrate the cavalry of our coalition army and destroy these damn Chinese cavalry!"

"A trap? Dear Lieutenant Colonel, I don't think there is anything we can attract those Chinese, although I know that those Chinese are as greedy as you Westerners. Oh, I'm sorry, I just want to make one thing to say. Do we collect gold, silver and gems together, put them in the open space, and wait for those greedy Chinese like birds. Do you want to peck? A local prince sneered. His words immediately provoked a burst of unbridled laughter.

"In addition to gold and silver, there are many things that scare those Chinese, such as artillery used to destroy the city and heavy artillery." Lieutenant Colonel Karou stopped Colonel Foliman's move to sneer and replied loudly.

At this time, the tent suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes fell on Lieutenant Colonel Nakaru and rolled their eyes.

" Lieutenant Colonel Karu, what are you trying to do?" Colonel Foreman couldn't help shouting, "I don't know if those artillery are our life roots and the most precious weapon we have to use against Chinese towns and fortresses."

"I know that our enemies and those damn Chinese also know that without these artillery, the difficulty of our siege will increase tenfold or even dozens of times. Therefore, if we take out these artillery as bait, even if those Chinese cavalry know that this is bait, they will definitely go. When. Think about it, gentlemen, if we can design properly, then we can get rid of these damned cavalry, speed up the speed, take down the city of Miyangari, solve our worries, and let more and hesitant local kings see our strength and join us. Karu's performance is not like a lieutenant colonel, but more like a politician. He persuaded most of the coalition commanders present to agree to the plan to lure the enemy.

The commanders of the coalition decided to implement this plan on the bank of the Indian River, placing 30 heavily protected artillery, 18-pound heavy artillery and more than 100 infantry artillery behind the ranks, along with the handymen who transported food and supplies.

The cavalry of the coalition army is in front of the brigade, and there are another 2,000 cavalry, but they quietly left the brigade in the first night and are decorated with large troops far away. As long as they find the Chinese cavalry attacking the bait, they will envelop them in place as soon as possible. Complete the encirclement and suppression of this annoying Chinese cavalry with nearly 5,000 cavalry in front of the brigade.

On the first day, the disturbance still continued, and even a Chinese cavalry with about 200 horses rushed to the vicinity of the artillery, but they were very vigilant and saw that there were a large number of muskewers around the artillery and quickly retreated.

The next day, it was still the same, which made the allied forces, even Lieutenant Colonel Kalu, who put forward this suggestion, almost lose confidence. On the morning of the third day, it was found that nearly 2,000 horses were marching side by side with the coalition team. Although the whereabouts were very hidden, it was still It was found by the reconnaissance of the coalition forces.

This made the coalition army extremely excited. One or two were like seeing the red lady in the courtyard ready to take off her clothes. They stared at the red eyes, but they still had to pose like Liu Xiahui, and continued to maintain the long snake-like line. They were absent for the fact that the artillery force had been exposed to the Chinese cavalry. The appearance of meaning.

"These stupid birds really regard us as two hundred and fifty." Peng Shijie, riding a beautiful and tall Arabian horse, standing on the high slope and looking at the slowly marching coalition force with a telescope, mocked contemptuously as he observed.

"Shall we fight, shall we fight?" The battalion commander standing beside him rubbed his hands and was eager to try.

"You must play, but how to play, you have to make a good total first. After all, how many artillery is a great threat to the cities of Myangari and Multan. Since these people have contributed artillery for us to do it, we don't get rid of these things. I'm really sorry for the kindness of these Indians and the British. Peng Shijie laughed. Are all the mortars concentrated?

"Well, it's in place. There are a total of 55 mortars. After all, we are cavalry troops. We don't carry a lot of ammunition, and the guns are much less than the infantry."

"It's enough. The first battalion and the second battalion are with me. The third battalion and the fourth battalion are responsible for dealing with the Indian cavalry behind. Remember, don't fight hard. Our lives are very precious." After fixing the telescope, Peng Shijie put on his helmet.

"Enemy attack!" Just as the artillery team was advancing along the wasteland next to the river bank, the coalition scouts rushed over and reported to Lieutenant Colonel Caru, who commanded the artillery, that the Chinese cavalry had rushed here quickly.

"Stand on stand by, all the musketeers stand here, form horizontal teams, and prepare to fight!" Lieutenant Colonel Karu immediately gave the order as quickly as possible. Soon, a thousand elite British army soldiers and 2,000 Indian musketeers leaned against the turbulent river of the Indus River, using the cannons that had become long dragons as bunkers and lined up into a standard scattered line, waiting for the one that was about to become a coalition dream with a trace of uneasiness. The appearance of the Chinese cavalry.

"I saw them." A soldier shouted loudly. At this time, almost all the soldiers could see a shadow around the horizon. Soon, the rumbling hoofs made the soldiers' heart beat faster.

"Hold the weapons in your hands and don't be afraid. Our cavalry will arrive soon. These damn Chinese can't break through our defense line. You must aim when shooting..." The British instructors in charge of commanding these gunmen shouted hard and loudly, showing the picture. These guys focus their attention.

Lieutenant Colonel Karu's palm was full of sweat. He held the handle of the command knife tightly with his right hand and stared at the Chinese cavalry who could already see clearly. The signal was sent as early as when he found these Chinese cavalry.

Five minutes, as long as you pester this cavalry for five minutes, a large number of cavalry will surround them and clean up these annoying Chinese cavalry.

"Why did they stop? Damn, what are they doing? Before Lieutenant Colonel Carou could get excited, he found something wrong.

Picked up the telescope and saw the Chinese cavalry who jumped off the horse remove the dark thicker iron pipe from some horsebacks, and then began to assemble it quickly.

"That's..." Lieutenant Colonel Karu's pupil instantly narrowed to the size of a needle eye. He remembered the kind of artillery that the Indians had described, which was the kind of artillery that the Chinese were best at using that even one person could carry around.

Before he could wait for his chagrin to scream, the muffled sound was endless. After that, the roar of the shell had echoed in the sky.

All the British and Indian musketeers who lined up near the artillery couldn't help but be stunned. Then, those Indians who had seen this kind of mortar began to scream exaggeratedly, even ignoring the reprimands of the British instructors, they subconsciously turned around and ran back, and the originally neatly arranged team. The son became confused.

The bombardment, the mortar shells fell down, the collapsed soil, and the cast iron cannons also made the waves tilt upside down.

"These shameless guys, how can they do this! They are cavalry." Lieutenant Colonel Karu stared at the corners of his eyes, but he could only roar angrily at the Chinese cavalry who were firing vigorously two miles away.
