Become a feudal king from today - #1120 - Chapter 1131: Principality

Calcutta.

When Xitu fell into fear due to the Battle of Tianzhu.

Qinshan and Guantong welcomed the armies of the feudal kings.

According to Emperor Zhao Xu’s order, they did not choose to defeat them one by one, but quietly waited for their arrival in Calcutta.

Because, through this war, he wanted to announce to the entire Tianzhu that the era of British rule in Tianzhu had passed.

From now on, Tianzhu will be taken over by Da Song.

“What a bunch of rabble. I can’t bear to do anything. It seems like we are bullying others…” in the vast fields outside Kolkata.

The 60,000 Dasong army was facing off against the Wuyangyang Tu-Bang coalition.

Looking at the Tubang soldiers, Guan Tong felt a bit dumbfounded.

Qin Shan couldn’t help but laugh.

They captured Calcutta first not only because it was the seat of the British Viceroyalty.

Another reason is that this is Britain’s industrial center in Tianzhu.

All the factories built by Britain in Tianzhu are in this city.

Including Britain’s musket and artillery factories.

After taking this place, no country can use the factories here to obtain muskets and artillery.

At the same time, because Britain came to Tianzhu for colonization.

So they just armed a princely state in the Calcutta area and used this princely state to help them rule many other princely states.

Therefore, most of the feudal states in Tianzhu are in a very primitive stage, even worse than the feudal system of Dasong.

As a result, their army naturally became less sophisticated.

Now, Qinshan and Guantong are facing this kind of federal army that has always lagged behind the feudal army that they once praised.

They had only a few thousand flintlocks, most of them wearing shabby armor, and carrying swords, shields, and bows and arrows.

The only thing that was shocking was their numbers and the large number of elephant soldiers.

After arriving in Calcutta, as many as 600,000 princely soldiers surrounded Calcutta.

It seems that the purpose was to cut off all supplies in Calcutta and allow the Dashong army to collapse without a fight.

Faced with this situation, Qinshan and Guantong unanimously chose to fight out of the city.

Although the ratio is 60,000 to 600,000, the advantage lies with Dasong’s army.

“I can’t bear it anymore, but when we fight, let the soldiers be sure to kill them. Only once can we frighten the kings of the feudal states, and we can avoid more troubles in the future.” Qinshan said on the pass.

As the saying goes, a general who cannot be ruthless in critical moments is not worthy of being a general.

He knew that Guan Tong was just teasing him, but he was actually ready to kill him.

Moreover, they also fought this battle for the Tianzhu people in Calcutta to see.

After this period of understanding, they found that Tianzhu is a strange place.

There is something called caste here.

According to the level, it is divided into four levels: Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Sudra.

Among them, Kshatriyas are the highest and Sudras are the lowest.

This caste is equivalent to the nobility in Tianzhu.

The Tianzhu people under the four castes are called untouchables.

That is, untouchables.

However, this was not the strangest thing, what shocked them the most was that the Tianzhu people did not have emperors or generals, but rather had a kind spirit.

The lower castes have never revolted against the rule of the upper castes and are willing servants of them.

Britain may have also taken advantage of this characteristic, so it actively attracted these upper castes.

When they invaded Calcutta, they found that there were a large number of high-caste Tianzhu people in Calcutta.

At this moment, they are also watching the battle.

Because of this, Qin Shan also intended to give them a warning.

Let these high-caste people in Tianzhu see the terror of the Dasung army, so that they can serve them honestly.

And once the high-caste Tianzhu people serve Dasong like they serve the Britons, the lower-class Tianzhu people can only honestly surrender to Dasong.

“That’s for sure. What I can do for them is to send them to the West.” Guan Tong grinned with his teeth bared.

After saying that, he rode towards the south.

He and Qin Shan are each responsible for one direction.

at the same time.

Seeing Dasong’s army arrayed out of the city, the kings of the feudal states decided to attack Dasong’s army after communicating with them.

Not long after, the formations of the surrounding armies changed, and each catapult was exposed and pushed to a position 400 meters away from Dasong’s army.

Then an elephant carrying only soldiers appeared in front of the procession.

These elephants all have sharp knives tied to their tusks.

It is still very dangerous if an elephant rushes into the team.

As for Dasong’s army.

The soldiers lined up as ordered and formed a tight horizontal line along the city wall.

There are three rows in each line, with soldiers shoulder to shoulder.

The soldiers in the front row lay down, the soldiers in the second row half-crouched, and the soldiers in the third row stood.

The Qin-style rifles in his hands were all pointed at the Tianzhu soldiers three hundred meters away.

To deal with such a dense army of cold weapons, a tight array is most suitable.

At the intervals between the horizontal formations were the machine gun teams.

They were also loaded and waiting for orders.

The artillerymen established positions in Calcutta.

There were soldiers on the city wall looking out with binoculars, specifically providing them with bombardment coordinates.

Both sides are ready.

At this time, Qinshan noticed that Tianzhu’s catapults began to make movements, and immediately ordered an artillery attack.

“Boom boom boom…”

In an instant, bursts of roaring sounds came from the direction of Calcutta, like thunder in the sky.

Drawing a perfect curve in the sky, the cannonballs immediately exploded among the Tianzhu army.

In particular, the location of the Tianzhu catapult has received special attention.

In an instant, Tianzhu soldiers were blown away by the shell shock wave, and more soldiers were killed by flying shrapnel.

The catapult affected by the shell immediately fell into pieces.

“Da da da……”

“Bang bang bang…”

Just as artillery bombarded the Tubang army, the sound of Qin-style rifles and machine guns rang out.

The Tianzhu soldiers on the front fell like wheat harvested by a sickle.

There were heavy casualties in a short period of time.

These soldiers who came from afar had mostly encountered old-fashioned flintlock rifles, but they had never seen such ferocious firepower.

Seeing their companions dying at an alarming speed, fear immediately took over their bodies, and they turned around and ran away.

The majestic elephants, frightened by the loud noise, also began to run away, trampling on the soldiers of the princes, exacerbating the chaos.

“Lancers attack!”

Qinshan seemed to have expected the collapse of the Tubang army, and calmly issued orders one after another.

In his opinion, the Tianzhu caste system maintains the stability of Tianzhu society.

But it has a fatal feature.

That is, the officers in the Tianzhu army are often from the four major castes, but the soldiers are mostly composed of untouchables.

These untouchables are servants of the four major castes, but the untouchables have no loyalty to the upper-caste nobles.

Especially the soldiers from the feudal states, they fought with the upper caste nobles holding their necks.

Therefore, once the war fails, they will be defeated very quickly.

While Qin Shan was thinking, the Lancers were already attacking from all directions.

The saber was raised, harvesting the lives of Tianzhu soldiers one after another.

The Tianzhu nobles watching the battle on the city wall felt chills in their hearts.

I finally understood that the Dasong people were more vicious than the Britons and could not resist!
