739 [This is the decisive battle?] (For the leader Tiboshu Wu(2/2)

The enemies on the city wall are slowly killed back.

Two miles upstream, thousands of Han soldiers, who had been lying in wait for several days, started to cross the river collectively, pushing big planks of wood.

There was no way to cross the river in advance because there were too many enemy warships and they would be easily discovered by the enemy. Those fire attack ships were also hidden in the woods.

Hearing volleys of gunfire from the city and seeing several warships being hit and burned, it was obvious that they had fallen into a trap set by the opponent. Burhansha decisively ordered: "Retreat the entire army!"

The father and son led the cavalry and ran first, followed by the infantry, leaving the friendly troops on the battlefield to act as rearguard units.

The Bijapur army was dumbfounded. Their sultan was still on the warship at the back, and no general on the front battlefield dared to order a retreat.

"Sultan, Sudan, the front is defeated!"

"What?"

Ibrahim Adil Shah I did not understand why an army of tens of thousands was suddenly defeated?

At this time, a large number of coalition warships caught fire. After Ibrahim Adil Shah I figured out the situation, he could not drive the warship to fight back and said: "Go around to the north and take all the soldiers back to the ship."

One south and one north, two tributaries meet.

The fire attack took place on the southern branch. Ibrahim Adil Shah I rowed towards the northern branch, but he managed to escape twelve warships.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

After landing on the northern branch, Ibrahim Adil Shah I had his horns blown in order to withdraw his infantry to the ships.

Unfortunately, the sudden withdrawal of the friendly forces caused chaos among the soldiers of Bijapur. Before the Sultan sounded the rally call, a large number of soldiers fled, and then the entire army collapsed. More than 20,000 people were chased and killed by more than 2,000 Han troops.

The cavalry troops did not dare to turn around and charge.

Being abandoned by friendly forces was only one of the factors. The more direct reason was the emergence of Han gun soldiers.

The small country of Bijapur was colonized by the Portuguese who occupied three ports and later handed them over to the Ming Dynasty Navy.

The soldiers of the Bijapur country naturally tried to resist, but were beaten back by Portuguese and Ming Dynasty guns and artillery every time. Over time, the country's soldiers have recognized the reality, and the new musketry troops are invincible!

Therefore, as soon as the two thousand Han soldiers in the city came out and fired several volleys of guns, even the cavalry were scared away.

Can you not run?

How many people did the Portuguese colonial army have? Thousands of them were killed. Even they couldn't defeat them. How could they dare to fight against the larger number of Han soldiers?

More than two thousand Han musketeers rushed out of the city to pursue 20,000 enemy troops.

Thousands of Indian defenders were stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers and followed the enemy out of the city with high morale.

Thousands of Han soldiers who crossed the river in the upper reaches and circled back encountered the Ahmednegal army that had abandoned its friendly forces and retreated.

The country's cavalry immediately charged, with Burhan Shah and Hussein and his son taking the lead, killing the unsteady Han army.

"Array up!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The cavalry charged against a musket array twice as large as their own, and they also attacked rifled muskets at a greater distance.

For a moment, everyone was on their backs. Sultan Burhan Shah was directly shot and fell from his horse. Prince Hussein was also blown off his left ear by a bullet. Who let the father and son rush so far forward?

Hussein was so frightened that he did not dare to retrieve his father's body. Taking advantage of the gap between the Han army's rotations, he accelerated and fled to the side in disguise, followed by only the remaining thousands of cavalry. And their more than ten thousand infantry.

, was so frightened that he ran towards the north and was chased all the way by the Han army.

Most of the cavalry from the two countries fled, and none of the Bijapur cavalry was lost. Wang Yuan transferred all the cavalry to the north to raid the four countries. Now he can only watch the enemy cavalry escape.

However, the infantry of the two countries were not so lucky. They were driven all over the ground. Many of them could no longer run and simply lay down to wait for death.

Ibrahim Adil Shah I also wanted to use boats to pick up the infantry, but two thousand Han troops in the city chased him and fired at the crowded crowd on the river, scaring countless enemy infantry to jump into the river one after another.

The warship left the shore, anchored in the middle of the river, and dropped ropes to rescue the soldiers. They actually picked up two to three thousand people.

Song Ling'er stood on a high platform on the other side of the river, holding up a telescope and frowning: "These Green Religion coalition forces are only slightly stronger than the Luzon natives, and their morale is not as high as the Guizhou rebels. How can they have the courage to invade south?"

"Who knows." Wang Yuan was also speechless. He had made so many preparations and still had 10,000 reserve troops in hand.

As a result, the opponent fell down and hit the porcelain before even exerting any force.

With such fighting power and morale, Wang Yuan is not worthy of being on the battlefield in person. No wonder he will be blamed by the Mughals in the future.

Wang Yuan and Song Ling'er felt uncomfortable, but they frightened the Indian defenders of Tongzhou and the exiled Indian nobles.

The surviving Indian nobles climbed up from the river in embarrassment, prostrated themselves in the direction of Wang Yuan's camp, and yelled some unintelligible words. They were simply willing to obey and serve as Wang Yuan's dogs.
