They watched blankly as they began to flee from the right wing. The Tik soldiers who were as brave as lions just now suddenly turned into frightened yellow sheep. They dropped their weapons, turned around and ran back. This collapse only took half a day. It developed into a comprehensive collapse at a young age. The remaining hundreds of thousands of troops spread across the entire eastern Polo plain like a flood. Defeated soldiers scattered everywhere for dozens of miles. Cadmead stood there like a fossil. On the chaotic battlefield, despite the chaotic army leading him to flee in all directions, until he was captured, like a fool, he only murmured one sentence: "For the sake of the mountain, the success will fall short!"

This battle took place on the eastern plain of the Poro Province of the Indian Kingdom. Because a cliff on a nearby hill was made of red sandstone, which looked extremely dazzling, the locals called it the red wall. This flat land is part of the Senger Plain. It is also called the Red Wall Plain, and this battle that rewrote the history of the Indian Kingdom is called the "Red Wall War" by mainland historians. The Battle of Hongbi lasted less than a day, and the specific time should be less than eight hours. However, the fierceness of this battle was the most intense of all the battles since the Northwest Army entered the Senger Plain. The Northwest Army wiped out the main force of the Tik East Front Army in one fell swoop. Of the 30,000 people, plus the vanguard battalion that was annihilated in the early stage and the 30,000 partial divisions that were annihilated in Keshhar, Tik's 200,000-strong eastern front army only had 10,000 people left to guard the rear occupied area, and the rest were destroyed.

The Red Wall War marked a period of history, and also rewrote the history of the two tribes and even the entire Indian nation. It was precisely because of the complete overthrow of the Tik army on the western front that the Tik side, which originally had a huge advantage, lost ground in the northern war. From attack to defense, from prosperity to decline.

On May 2, 698 in the Continental Gregorian Calendar, the Northwest Army on the Middle Line, after defeating the Kashgartik army, marched westwards wildly. On May 3, the Northwest Army on the Middle Line, led by General Bayin Zhuo, moved with lightning speed. The force swept across Danji Province. On May 4, the Northwest Army of the Middle Route, under the guidance of the local garrison, recaptured Jeddah, the capital of Danji Province. On May 6, the Mote cavalry, who had rested for a day, launched another attack. It took only three days to eliminate the small group of Tik troops entrenched in the Amman province. On May 11, the entire Amman province was recovered. The Lord of Nicobar City, the capital, and his garrison, together with the local people, happily held a ceremony to welcome foreign troops into the city for the second time within a month.

Just when the Red Wall War was about to begin, the Tiksi Front Army also had its first battle with the Hyderabad Allied Forces, which was responsible for defense and was mainly composed of the Kingdom's Third Guards Army, in the central part of Wad Province. Field Marshal of the Kingdom's Army Zug personally commanded this battle. The two sides mobilized all their forces for the battle on the central plains of Wad Province. Although the Hyderabad coalition had a certain advantage in cavalry, Tik coach Ram had already anticipated the opponent's rigid tactics.

Field Marshal Zug of the Kingdom still followed tradition and hoped to use his superior mail cavalry to break through the Tik frontal defense line from the front, and then completely defeat the Tik people. Commander Tik was also aware of this. He took advantage of his plan and deployed 30,000 carefully prepared thick-armored infantry as the city's first line of defense. Then he used 80,000 light infantry to form two backup lines of defense, during which he used a large number of mobile transport vehicles to load them. The soil is built into chains as a backing to enhance defense capabilities. On the other hand, Ram used all his resources to place 30,000 light cavalry on the left rear, taking advantage of the slightly higher terrain on the left wing to wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

The war was carried out according to the direction designed by Ram. Although the Hyderabadis had the absolute advantage of 30,000 mail cavalry and 30,000 light armored cavalry, the Tik people were particularly tenacious under the supervision of a large number of war supervisors, and a large number of vehicles filled with dirt Connecting into a chain-shaped defensive belt also brought a lot of trouble to the Hyderabad cavalry. After breaking through the enemy's two lines of defense, the Hyderabad cavalry was at the end of its war effort. The weakness of the Indian cavalry in not being able to fight for a long time was fully exposed. They faced the Tik people. The third line of defense composed of spears seemed hesitant. At this time, Marshal Zug realized that he had made a mistake and wanted to adjust his subordinates. It was already too late to make amends.

Tik coach Ram used all his strength to place 30,000 light cavalry on the infantry group that was attacking the Hyderabadis' right flank. The Tik cavalry, which had gained enough momentum, penetrated deeply into the Hyderabadi infantry like a huge wedge. In the cluster, the unsuspecting Hyderabad infantry front was immediately shaken. In panic, Marshal Zug tried to adjust the direction of the attack, but this only messed up the position. When the huge infantry phalanx changed from moving forward to moving to the right. There was confusion, which was intensified by the fatal blow of the Tiklan cavalry. Chaos quickly turned into chaos. The cavalry group attacking the Tik infantry in the front also lost the opportunity to continue fighting after repeated breakthroughs to no avail. The losses on both sides soon affected the changes in the entire battle situation. When the infantry group in the rear finally collapsed, the front group The cavalry group also joined the fleeing ranks, and there was no longer any suspense in the entire battle.

The Battle of Ward announced the complete collapse of the last Royal Army with the ability to resist. Unfortunately, it was slightly later than the Battle of Red Wall. The difference of one day was enough to determine many things. If the Battle of Ward had taken place in Red Wall, Before the Battle of the Wall, perhaps this blow was enough to completely crush the spiritual will of the Hyderabadis who were already on the verge of despair. The Tik people could accept the surrender request of the Hyderabadis without any suspense and easily obtain the central power. It is a pity that the Red Wall The news of the war reached Fort Motulag first, and all the shadows of defeat were completely washed away by this great victory achieved by the Tanghe people. The Hyderabadi people, who had been preparing to surrender, suddenly regained their confidence, and The unfavorable news coming from the Ward front was completely overwhelmed by the news of the victory of Keshhar on the center line and the annihilation of the Tik reserve army on the southern line. The Tik people had completely lost the opportunity to politically force the Hyderabadis to surrender.

At the same time, after learning that the Tanghe army had achieved a decisive victory, the Yakuan army, which had already entered the Central Province and Degu Province, quickly retreated and stayed in the two western provinces it had occupied. , no longer willing to cross the border even half a step, the envoy sent to discuss with the Tik people how to carve up the Hyderabadi territory was urgently recalled halfway, and everything needed to be done again.

On May 4, 698 in the Continental Gregorian Calendar, after the provinces of Kashhar and Mengjia were declared to be the protectorate of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate of the Tanghe Empire, Calais Province was also declared to be the protectorate of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate. At this point, the three northeastern provinces of the Indian Kingdom were declared to have become the protectorate of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, and a formal invitation was issued to ask the Northwest Army to help quell the slave and untouchable uprising forces that were everywhere.

The news of the Red Wall War was like a sap in the head. Coach Tik, who was still immersed in the joy of victory and looking forward to a bright future, was hit with stars in his eyes. Ram could not accept such a cruel reality. While sending elite detectives to find out the detailed information, Lamu also cautiously gave up the pace of marching north and reduced his troops. The news returned from Tanma confirmed this tragic result. The Tik army, which was still joyful, was suddenly shrouded in gloom and mist. When Keshhar was defeated by the Tanghe people, When the army recovered, Ram had calmed down to face this harsh reality, and the attack on the reserve army from the south made Ram feel anxious.

The loss of Keshhar directly threatened the security of Saichin Province behind him. Our troops are not as mobile as the Tanghe people. If we don't make a decisive decision, I am afraid that all the more than 100,000 troops in our hands will be abandoned. Got off. Without any explanation or entanglement, Ram ordered all the troops to drop everything that could be discarded. The hundreds of thousands of Tik troops who had achieved a complete victory in the Battle of Ward strode southward as if they had lost the battle. , rushed from Wad Province to Saichin Province in one breath, and went straight south without even entering the capital of Saichin Province, and retreated to their own territory before establishing a foothold. At this time, the Tubu cavalry led by Jeb had already raided the entire Lahore Province and returned to the Panja territory in a swaggering manner.

At this point, the civil war in the entire Indian Kingdom has come to an end, leaving only the raging rebel army still engaged in a desperate struggle with the re-confident Hyderabad local army.

On May 12, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Cui Wenxiu, who came to Nicobar City, the capital of Amman Province, to inspect military affairs, as the plenipotentiary military representative of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate of the Tanghe Empire stationed in the Central Continent, inspected the two largest circulations in the Indean Kingdom. The major newspapers "Northern Daily" and "Yagra" issued statements demanding that slaves and civilians who participated in riots and massacres must unconditionally lay down their arms and surrender to the local government or the army. The local government and the army are not allowed to prosecute those who participated in the riots and massacres before court investigation and trial. The slaves and poor people who voluntarily surrendered during the riot took any violent measures, and on behalf of the Hyderabadi allies, they warned those people and forces who still have illusions that they must withdraw from the land and wealth that do not belong to them in the shortest possible time, otherwise all the consequences will be The other party is responsible.

This conversation was published on the front page of the "Northern Daily" and "Agra" the next day, and it also caused a sensation in the entire Indian Kingdom. Especially the last sentence that seemed to refer to it was extremely meaningful. Not only did it include all those who participated in the riots and obtained ill-gotten gains, but it also vaguely referred to the Tik and Yakuan people who had seized huge wealth from the people of Hyderabad.

This conversation was regarded as the beginning of Northwest China's involvement in the affairs of the entire Indian Kingdom, and was also regarded as Li Wufeng's first step into the vast Central Continent's struggle for hegemony. Although the Western Regions and the Eastern Tengger Grassland belong to the Central Continent geographically, from a cultural and historical perspective, they have a deeper relationship with the Eastern Continent, especially the Tanghe Empire, while Northern Luzon and the Pangzhe Territory The influence in the future is far from being compared with that of the entire Indian Kingdom. Entering the territory of Northern Luzon and the Pancha people can only be a prelude, and the actual step of entering the hinterland of the Senge Plain shows Li Wufeng's intention to set foot in the Central Continent. Ambition and ambition.
