CLASH ! L'autre Jeu d'Histoire
- Les Armées de l'Inde -
Liste M29b : Sultans musulmans de l'Inde (1220 à 1526 ap JC)
(Inde du Nord)
Histoire
A partir des années 1220, les armées musulmanes des anciens généraux Ghourides commencent
à s'indianiser peu à peu, justifiant l'établissement de nouvelles listes. Les massacres d'Hindous
et de Bouddhistes ralentissent et un statu quo se met en place dans les divers sultanats du sous-continent.
Armée
LaUnlike Hindu armies, cavalry were regarded as the main arm. Muslim cavalry used a long light lance and Turkish
bow.
Elephants had a fighting crew in a Howdah and were supported by escort infantry. In the Zafar-Náma by Sharaf-ud-dín
‘Ali Yazdi there is the following description "The enemy's
great reliance was on his enormous war elephants, 120 in number. They were covered with armour, and on their backs
was a kind of litter or cage, in which crossbowmen and
discus-throwers were concealed. Sharp poisoned points were fastened firmly to their tusks. Rocket-men (takhsh-afgan)
and grenade-throwers (ra'd-andáz) marched by their sides."
The Rathors were a Hindu Rajput clan who although semi-independent had to provide contingents of cavalry.
Gunpowder skirmishers include "grenade" throwers (ra'd-andaz), firework throwers (atash-baz) and those
using hand-held rockets (taksh-andaz).
