"I'm not afraid of the Indian soldiers, but I'm afraid of the Indian heat." This is the biggest impression of the Lu army who arrived in India to participate in public security operations. Although there are a few new recruits in the army, the officers are of good quality. A group of mercenaries who participated in the Yankee Civil War were enriched in the ranks of officers. They have high combat quality and have experience in dealing with the Yankees, so they have no obstacles to negotiating with Albion.

To be honest, the mercenary has a mixed level. There are the Fifth Division Supplementary Regiment, which has been trained for a long time. The combat effectiveness is higher than that of the provincial army, but there are also parallel companies such as the volunteers of various provinces to aid Shandong. Although those who are willing to come to India are all highly skilled and are not afraid of death, they have received some military training, but compared to the Lu army, they can only be considered miscellaneous fish. Some Lu army even said in private that we are not a division, but actually just a brigade. Others... are they considered humans?

They faced too many enemies. Although Albion's intelligence agencies worked hard to collect intelligence, before the arrival of the Albion people, Tianzhu had more geographical concepts than a country concept. The complex nation and the situation of the General Administration made Albion's intelligence officer confused and couldn't figure out how many troops they were facing.

Often, an uprising army announced the high-profile how many people they had, and counted their own tribes or the troops of the sect together. However, those troops may belong to another prince or noble. When announcing their troops, they will list them separately, and even count the previous troops into their own forces. Repeated calculations and cover each other, coupled with the great outbreak of the dissatisfaction of the Indians with the Albion, the intelligence work also progressed slowly. The final result was that the troops of the Indian rebellion were between one million and one and a half million.

Governor Albion tore the report to pieces and suppressed the urge to stuff it into the stomach of the intelligence officer. If there were so many Indians, he would have been hanged now. But no matter what, the Indians' troops must have had an absolute advantage. Look at the barracks outside the city, the barracks that could not see at first glance, and the Governor who fled from Delhi to Kolkada, had only one thought in his mind: Let the Chinese troops come quickly, even if it was just a death.

The rebellious forces of India were not only ordinary Tumen troops, but also some of the garrisons that had previously been loyal to Albion and were used as warriors. They had received Albion military training, seized Albion's arsenal in India, and obtained more advanced weapons and equipment, which had some combat effectiveness.

Compared with these garrison teams, the mercenaries who turned against each other were the environment in India.

Even after arriving in India, he had a period of rest and adapted to the local environment, and had a much harsh sanitation condition than Shandong, hundreds of soldiers were still unable to continue the battle due to illness, which was considered a dark door opener. The Lu army, who originally thought that overseas was definitely stronger than China, had a general feeling after arriving at the destination: he was deceived.

Whether it is food, accommodation, or even urban hardware, it is much worse than Shandong. Compared with the two, the idea of ​​returning home after the war has become more firm.

The troops on both sides fought several times, and they were all small-scale battles and did not affect the overall situation. The Indian soldiers were well equipped, but they did not have many highlights in combat skills. After fighting with the Fusang people, the Lu army generally used Fusang soldiers as the standard for foreign troops, so they believed that these Indians were playing tricks and were probably luring the enemy.

As this view gets closer to Kolgoda, it is more and more supported by officers and soldiers. Even if the absurd data is eliminated, the number of Indian troops will not be less than 50,000 based on the front line reconnaissance alone. However, the Lu army, together with the Albion soldiers and the newly arrived mercenaries, was less than 20,000, which was a huge gap.

No matter how proud they are, such a large gap in force, and the other party is also a fully armed soldier, not a cold weapon unit, the commander is not sure of victory. The hometown tune played by the Lu Army Band came in the night wind. This was the soldiers saying goodbye to their hometown. When they went to the battlefield, they might not be able to come back.

In the officer barracks, Deputy Division Commander Yang Futian had just polished his leather shoes. This is a tradition in the Lu army. When generals die, they also need bright leather shoes and straight military uniforms. After doing all this, he took out a photo from his close pocket and looked at it repeatedly in his hand.

Although this photo is just a beautiful woman's back, if it is discovered by the Shandong Social Customs Survey Department, it will be enough to sentence himself to death. However, he doesn't care. The loyalty and Tianjin's life-saving grace are not enough to make him work like this, but for her, everything is worth it.

Thinking about seeing her smiling faces more and more before leaving, I thought that the situation in the inner house is no longer as dangerous as before. With that person’s care, others should not dare to bully her anymore, and they can die with confidence. If they die, perhaps that person will consider the difficulty of the Huai Army and take care of her more. After all, the cavalry brigade relies on the lives of thousands of people to build a cavalry division, and the Huai Army will not fall behind.

The matches are bright, the photo is curled up in the fire snake, and the zoom is finally turned into ashes. Let this little thought be gone with the dust, and it is time for me to let go.

In another tent, Sun Feibao was chewing dog meat, while eating, muttering, "Foreign dogs are not as fragrant as native dogs!"

The rescue battle of Kolgoda was the first official battle after the Lu army entered India. Albion had a total of one Lu infantry division, a company of Nepal mercenaries, plus two companies of Albion's army, of which veterans accounted for 40%. The enemy was the main force of the rebels, and hoped to capture Calcóda and forced Albion to recognize the restoration of the country. The troops mainly used Albion equipment, and many troops had served the Albion people and received strict military training.

Even Sun Feibao could only shout desperately to improve morale for the soldiers. In fact, he was ready to die in his heart.

Colorful flags, Indian infantry with cloth wrapped around their heads, slave soldiers naked, commanders riding in elephants, when facing such a unit, the soldiers of the Lu army looked at the superiors who had gone to foreign countries to fight wars. However, they found that the superiors were as confused as they were. When they saw the soldiers looking over, they had to reluctantly defend themselves, "This is normal, foreigners are different from foreigners..."

The enemy's troops cannot be 100,000, and if there is one, they cannot be let go of the battlefield. But it can be confirmed that their troops are indeed more than Albion. If the Lu army is compared to a ship, they face the sea.

Yang Futian looked at Sun Feibao on the side, and the latter also looked at him. After graduating from the Shandong General Officer Higher Training Class, they almost found that there were serious problems with the configuration of the Tianzhu troops. In other words, this cannot be called configuration at all.

The Indians just put the troops together and then barely formed a formation, but lacked effective control of the troops. The military positions of each branch of the troops were seriously unreasonable, and they could not play the role of special forces such as artillery. What is this situation? Is there such a big gap between the military concepts of India and itself?

The expressions of Nepalese mercenaries remained the same, but the Albion Company began to shake clearly. These native Albion gentlemen were not used to this battle with less and fought more. Looking at the black heads, they had already begun to despair. As for the firepower configuration, the troops were standing, no one was watching. Some even shouted to the chief officer: "We should retreat! Our flags were still flying over Kolkada. They could hold on until now, and they could hold on for another month. We would hold on until our other reinforcements."

Albion's commander could only curse and scold such requests, but it could be heard from the voice that even the officers did not have the courage to fight to the death. All they needed was an opportunity, an opportunity to retreat reasonably. On the contrary, the Lu army's expression was much calmer than they did.

Even the volunteers who had just joined the Lu army were infected by this group under the overall spiritual atmosphere of the Lu army. They were listed as a great humiliation in the Lu army. The will of this mercenary was stronger than that of the mother country's troops.

The war drums were ringing, and the infantry of the Indians began to advance. Sun Feibao's had already begun to move toward the flank of the battlefield. The Albion Army shouted, "The Chinese have run away! The squadron has escaped!" Then it began to flee backwards. The team changed in disarray. This change made the Indian mutiny excited. Some people had already begun to shoot at this side, but the distance between the two sides far exceeded the range, so the shooting could not be effective.

Yang Futian pulled out his sabre and shouted: "Brothers, show your courage to foreigners. I, Lu Army, have the courage to be brave! Artillery preparation..."

The Indians were not wary of their flanks, and the cavalry's actions were much smoother than they thought. The Indians also believed that the cavalry was running away, but they did not expect that they were actually going to attack.

Looking at the soldiers beside him, Sun Feibao said, "If you are overseas, you can't go home even if you are a deserter. The only way out is to fight to the death. Those who are desperate and have a short life will die. If you are taken care of by a great commander at home, you will guarantee that you will not suffer any losses. Brothers, kill me." He took the lead and rushed out of the woods.

This behavior, from a military perspective and military data analysis, is not much different from a death sentence. Reinstein used this cavalry attack as a military counter-article and repeatedly criticized it in the Shandong senior general training class. But it was this blind move, which was called "a gorgeous left hook on the battlefield" by the Albion people, who achieved unexpected results on the battlefield.

The negligence of the Indians on the flanks led to the extremely smooth entry of the cavalry. Before the Indians even had time to fire their guns, the cavalry had already arrived in front of them. Seeing the bright sabre and the tall horse, the next move of the Indians was to throw down the gun and escape, or kneel on the ground to surrender.

Artillery hinders infantry, baggage hinders cavalry, and the chaotic military formations caused the Indians to be unable to effectively command the troops. They could only watch the cavalry break through and advance... More and more Indians fell under the sabers, and more Indians chose to surrender.

In fact, because there were too many Indian soldiers, the cavalry had lost the advantage of mobility and could only raise the sabre and prepare to kill a few more people before death. However, the Indian soldiers obviously did not have the courage to fight melee, and immediately collapsed as soon as they saw the sabre.

At this moment, the Lu army infantry on the front blew the charge, and the snare drums rang across the battlefield. When the five-color military flag pointed in front of the Lu army, a reorganized division shouted, raised bayonets to the Indians, and issued a white-blade invitation.

The Indians retreated.

Commander Ross, who had always been indifferent to the expression, looked at the five-color flag that was advancing and the panicked Indian soldiers, and finally said, "The terrible Chinese people. The growing Chinese troops are really terrible. Next, they must give them more combat tasks... Otherwise, in the future, the empire will lose all the benefits it has in the East. I should suggest that we stop cooperation with Shandong immediately."

"General, I suggest you calm down. Now our problem is Kolkada and the entire Tianzhu."

"No, respected sir, I think our biggest problem is these Chinese people. If the Indians win, it will only be our trouble. Only when the Chinese develop will it be a disaster. If you don't believe it, look..."

The end of the war was faster than expected. Although the commander of the Indian Zhu riding on the elephant was crazy about trampling on his army with the elephant and trying to find a way out, he was still surrounded by a squad of cavalry, dragged off the elephant and became a prisoner. After the commander was captured, the entire Indian Zhu army collapsed. A large number of Indian Zhu soldiers ran at an astonishing speed. After the Lu army controlled the battlefield, they did not pursue it desperately. For them, the spoils were far more important than the Indians.

According to the pre-war agreement, in addition to hiring wages, the Lu army seized spoils on the battlefield were all under the control of the Lu army, and the Albion people only enjoyed the right of first refusal. However, looking at the piles of materials, Yang Futian secretly vowed that even if he was a woman to his own Albion women, he would never sell these materials.

"These Indians are good people. There are so many good guns. Look at this cannon, but I haven't used it yet. Come on, take a photo with me and the cannon. I want to send the photo back to my country, which will anger Captain Zou to death."

"What's the use of cannons? Look at what this is? Food! Canned food! Albiangwen is on it. This is the canned food I grabbed from Albiang's warehouse. I'll ask those weak Albiang chickens later. Is this canned food delicious? Look at those grandsons, who were almost scared by such a group of waste, can such soldiers fight? Mine is mine!"

The excited Lu army began to review their trophy and enjoy the joy of a bumper harvest. More than 5,000 prisoners were captured on the battlefield. These Indians were very contractual and would not act like being prisoners but attacking managers. They knelt on the ground with peace of mind. They were motionless. A squad of Lu army guarded a regiment of Indian prisoners without any problems. Even after the Lu army provided them with food, these people volunteered to take on coolies and helped the Lu army transport supplies, which made some officers mutter to themselves: Good people, the more prisoners like this, the better.

What is really hard to control is the nobles of the Indian Zhu. On the entire battlefield, there were more than 40 people arrested in the Indian Zhu princes and nobles and landlords. After being captured, these people made a series of requests, including exclusive chefs, accommodation environments, and enough servants. A captured Indian Zhu officer shouted the name of Commander Albion.

"Sherlock, I think you should meet old friends. We have a lot to talk about. Hey, boy, don't touch me with your dirty hands. I'm a nobleman, and you're just a dirty soldier, five miles away, I can smell the stinking of you. I'll pay the ransom, now I'm your most honorable guest, plus your commander-in-chief's best-relationship classmate, so be kind to me."

It was not until a long time later that Zhao Guanhou learned the truth about the war in India. After the rebellion, although Tianzhu elected a king, the king could not implement effective rule. The nations and the priests within India were hostile to each other, and there were many conflicts between princes and nobles. The huge army was actually a multi-headed monster and could not tolerate each other. Some nobles, including the princess, were pessimistic about the war and hoped to surrender decently on the basis of restoring some of their old rights and interests, and were unwilling to hate the Albion people too deeply.

The incompetent generals, internal struggles and demolition, coupled with shortage of military pay and national hatred, the chief officers of the troops did not know how to command large corps to fight, and the soldiers fought on their own, and their combat effectiveness did not match the number of people. In particular, they had always lacked the training of hand-to-hand combat, and they immediately realized their true colors when they faced the bayonet.

But for the Albion people at this time, they were not aware of these changes, especially for the surrounded governor, who had already been completely desperate to look at the boundless army outside. A loaded pistol was kept at hand and ready to commit suicide at any time. The Lu army was an angel for him and the besieged Albion residents in the city.

The Governor's Office organized a grand welcome ball. The beautiful Albi's noble lady and socialite took the arms of the Lu army soldiers and danced. Looking at the popular Lu army officer, no one cared about the gloomy commander-in-chief Ross.

"We must give them more tasks, and we pay them, not to seduce the pure Albion girl and show off at the dance. We still have several cities surrounded by rebels. These yellow-skinned monkeys must do their best to rescue Albion gentlemen from the chaos. In addition, the queen also needs her own warriors to show their courage. If you send the Dalimaru down, the soldiers of Albion must make their own contributions in the next battle."
