Chapter 885: Fierce Battle Jabald (3)
However, when King Abad entered the city with his Persian banner, the Mughal army in the city was not as directly defeated as he thought.
Instead, some Mughal generals, led by them, came up and prepared to engage them.
However, although this was unexpected by the obedient king Abad, Abad was only slightly stunned, and then angrily took the Persian flag under his command and killed it, and the two armies fought together.
Immediately after, other Persian and Indian banners also came in, and even some Manchu banners and servant cavalry crossed the ruins of the collapsed city walls and slaughtered in.
The war horse slammed, and the steel knife swept through the neck of the Mughal soldier, bringing up a wisp of blood.
"Xiuxiuββββ" The bows and arrows of the two sides shoot at each other.
More than 30 war elephants rushed out, rushing back and forth between the Indian and Persian flags of the Qing army.
It's a pity that the combat effectiveness of the war elephants may not be weak, but the war more than a year ago caused the Mughal Empire to lose most of the war elephants, and the war elephants are not able to be trained in just over a year, so there are not many war elephants in the Mughal Empire at present, and Jabald only has these thirty or so.
The number is so small, except that it can cause casualties to the Qing army of up to a few hundred people, it will not be of much effect at all.
Soon, one by one, the elephant was wounded and collapsed.
The rest of the ordinary Mughal army, not to mention compared with the Manchu Eight Banners, is even half a grade worse than the worst Indian flag of the Qing army.
It didn't take long for the Mughal army to begin to retreat, routing deeper into the city.
According to past experience, at this time, as long as the Qing army pursues the victory, it can cause a chain reaction and defeat all the Mughal armies in one fell swoop.
"Kill, ββ-" The generals of the Qing army really thought so, full of eight banners, and the servant cavalry generals did not hesitate to take their cavalry to rush and kill, chasing the defeated Mughal army towards the depths of Jabald City.
Along the way, the Qing cavalry also encountered some Mughal civilians in the city of Jabald, but these civilians were invariably cut down by the passing Qing cavalry.
At the beginning, as expected by the Qing generals, the cavalry passed, and the Mughal army was defeated.
However, as they were about to rush to the center of Jabald, the situation suddenly changed.
A large number of Mughal soldiers armed with muskets rushed out, and from a distance of several tens of meters, the muzzles of their guns were pointed at them, and the trigger was pulled.
"Bang bang bang ββββ" Dense gunfire rang out, and hundreds of lead bullets swept through.
"Ahhββββh
"Bang Bang ββ-" fired again, knocking down more than a dozen Qing cavalry, this time about half of the Manchu Eight Banners and the servant cavalry.
This scene was not only born on this road, but also appeared on other streets, and the Qing cavalry that was pursuing the front suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and at least hundreds of Qing cavalry were knocked down.
Seeing the extremely ferocious and almost invincible cavalry of the Qing army falling to the ground under their own guns, the Mughal soldiers and generals of the flintlock team were excited, it turned out that they could also defeat the Qing army.
"Attack forward!" The general of the Mughal flintlock team excitedly ordered the flint team under his command to advance along the various roads and attack.
"Bang Bang ββββ"
With flint guns in hand, the Mughal flint team gradually advanced, and the oncoming Qing cavalry could not stop their attack at all by relying on flesh and blood, and suffered heavy casualties for a while.
Under such circumstances, not only the Mughal soldiers of the flintlock team, but also the ordinary Mughal army soldiers were also greatly boosted, and they cheered and followed the flint team towards the Qing army.
In order to avoid more heavy casualties, the Qing cavalry began to retreat, avoiding the attack of the Mughal flintlock army.
Soon, the Mughal flint team advanced to where the Qing army's Persian and Indian flags were.
The infantry of the ββ-Persian and Indian flags, which also suffered heavy casualties under the guns of the Mughal flint guns, gradually began to retreat to the rear, and the Qing army even had the momentum of being squeezed out of the city of Jabald.
"Damn! Why did the Mughal army appear so many flints at once! Ao Bai's face was pale.
"Tell the Lord Regent!"
Soon, a Qing army general went to report the strange situation in the city to Dolgon, who was still outside the city.
In fact, there was no need for anyone to report it, and the sudden dense gunfire in the city had made Dolgon realize something in an instant, and his face became gloomy for a moment.
"Flint? There could be no such thing in the Mughal Empire, it was the Ming Dynasty! It must have been Da Ming who intervened! Dorgon roared with a hideous look on his face.
He didn't believe that the Mughal Empire could make flint guns in just over a year, and he had such a large number of them, he couldn't think of any other reason except for the Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Dorgon's mind.
Why did the Ming intervene in it, did he not want the Qing Dynasty to annex the Mughal Empire? Is turning a corner to declare the will of the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty?
Dolgon's fists were bruised, and his face was constantly changing, clearly struggling with something. He pondered whether the Qing Dynasty should continue the war.
At present, the strength of the Qing Dynasty is absolutely incomparable with the Ming Dynasty, if this is really the manifestation of the will of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty does not want the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Mughal Empire, and once the Qing Dynasty insists on destroying the Mughal Empire, it is likely to anger the Ming Dynasty, and the consequences are unimaginable.
However, is it really because of fear of angering the Ming Dynasty that the Qing Dynasty will not be developed?
In this case, how can the Qing Dynasty have any chance to achieve the status of being equal to the Ming Dynasty, and even to the point where it can defeat the Ming Dynasty and regain the ancestral land of Manchuria.
"The Qing Dynasty must be expanded, it must continue to grow stronger, and it must regain its original glory, otherwise there is no difference from destruction!" In the end, Dolgon decided to ignore what the Ming meant, and in any case, the Qing wanted to annex the Mughal Empire to increase its strength.
"Order the Dragonbreaker Army to enter Jabald City!" Dorgon ordered.
In addition to the Dragonbreaker flint team, Dorgon also ordered 400 cannons to be brought into the city and dispersed among the armies to engage the Mughal Empire's flint corps.
The flint team of the Qing army equipped with cannons is a real army of hot weapons, and its combat effectiveness is definitely much more powerful than that of the Mughal flint team that only has flint guns.
"Bang bangββββ not long after, the Qing army broke the dragon army and the Mughal flint gun team to fight together.
Because the flint gun of the Mughal flint team came from the Ming Dynasty, the performance was much stronger than the flint gun owned by the Qing army, and the firing range was farther than the flint gun of the Qing army, so the two armies fired against each other, and the casualties of the Qing army and the dragon army were greater, but the Qing army had a cannon that the Mughal flint team did not have.
