On the north bank of the Indian River, the city of Quetta.

This is one of the important passages connecting the Braha Gobi steppe, which was originally an important town of the Mughal Empire, and as long as you go north from Quetta City, you can enter the Braha steppe unimpeded.

Although the Ming army occupied the Braha steppe and advanced all the way to the west, because India was not the core of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming army never set its sights on this direction.

And this is the opportunity for the Kihar to rule India.

Long before the Ming army began a full-scale attack on the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon sent one of his right-hand men, Jihar, to secretly lead India.

India's area of more than 3 million square kilometers is the richest and most populous place in the Qing Dynasty, accounting for more than half of the total population of the Qing Dynasty, and because of the caste system, Indians are very well managed, and almost no matter how exploited they are, they will not resist.

When India was completely conquered by the Qing army 20 years ago, it had a population of 37 million.

However, the Qing army waged a ten-year war with the Ottoman Empire at that time, and every year a large number of young and strong Indians were sent to participate in the war, so that the Indian population not only did not increase for ten years, but fell to 36 million.

After the annexation of the Ottoman Empire, the Qing Dynasty faced the threat of the Ming Dynasty again, and had to continue to draw more Indian populations to frantically form an army, as well as engage in labor to produce guns and ammunition, etc., which once again made the Indian population not grow for nearly ten years and continued to decline.

Today, India's population is about 34 million, excluding those who are fighting in Baghdad and providing logistical support in the rear.

Of course, there are still a lot, and there are still a lot of young people.

After obeying Dorgon's orders and leading India, Jihar continued to recruit young Indians to form a new Indian Banner Army, and now, Zihar has 250,000 newly formed Indian Banner Qing Army in his hands.

And the 250,000 newly formed Indian Banner Qing Army and the 3,000 Manchu Eight Banners originally brought by Jihar are definitely a force that does not seem weak in terms of quantity.

The Ming army has been in Baghdad for the third day, and with the strength of the Ming army, I don't know what the situation is on the regent's side now. Zihar frowned, extremely worried.

According to Dolgon's original instructions, he would lead the newly formed 250,000 new Indian Banner Army and the 3,000 Manchu Eight Banners around him out of Quetta to the north of the Braha Gobi Steppe when the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were decisive in Baghdad, and cut off the supply line of the Ming army through the Braha Gobi Steppe to Baghdad at all costs.

The Ming army attacked Baghdad and the Qing Dynasty for the final decisive battle, and the Ming army's supplies had to pass through the Braha steppe, and the Braha steppe was so wide that the Ming army could not take care of the entire supply line even if it left tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

In fact, his purpose is not much, as long as he destroys a batch of supplies for the Ming army, and then blocks the Ming army from transporting supplies from the Braha grassland for more than two days, it should be able to affect the morale of the Ming army on the front line, and with the majesty and strategy of the regent, he will be able to seize the fighter and defeat the Ming army!

Zihar sighed secretly, India's backhand was set in advance by Dolgon before the Ming army attacked the Qing Dynasty, and at that time I didn't know how strong the Ming army was, but Murkala, Yazd, and Isfahan were all defeated in three battles, and it was an extremely fast rout, and the strength of the Ming army was completely beyond the original expectations, and the success rate of this strategy was not much.

Since the start of the war, the strength of the Ming army has gradually made Jihar a little weak, but fortunately, the news heard from the Braha grassland has made Jihar overjoyed.

The Ming army is arrogant! There were only 8,000 Ming cavalry deployed in the Bulha grassland, and some of the 8,000 Ming troops had to patrol all parts of the grassland, but the Ming army that really guarded the supplies passing through the Bulha grassland was actually only 5,000 cavalry!

5,000 Ming cavalry! No matter how he thought about it, Jihar felt that the forces under his command could defeat the 'meagrely' 5,000 cavalry of the Ming army, and destroy the supplies transported to the front line to the main force of the Ming army.

Perhaps the combat effectiveness of the 250,000 Indian Banner New Army under his command is very low and cannot be trusted, but he still has 3,000 Eight Banners by his side, which is his confidence.

Jihar is very confident, but unfortunately what he doesn't know is that even if the Manchu Eight Banners in his hands are not credible in the face of the Ming army, in Shah Luzhen, 40,000 Manchu Eight Banners besieged the 7,000 Ming army, but suffered a heavy defeat, and finally lost more than 10,000, and the backbone of the Manchu Eight Banners was almost broken by the first battle.

"Kill!"

With 250,000 Indian flags and 3,000 Manchu Eight flags, Zihar left Quetta and went straight to the Buraha steppe in the north.

Today, the Ming Dynasty has a batch of supplies to pass through the Braha steppe, and then through Persia, to the Baghdad front, this is the opportunity for Zihar!

-------------------------

What Zihar didn't know was that not long after he entered the Braha steppe with 250,000 Indian flags and 3,000 Manchu Eight flags, the Ming army already knew the news.

"Didi---Dididi------" radio transmission, and the intelligence was quickly hit.

"India's Qing army has finally been dispatched, just looking for death!" Chang Shunhou, commander of the Seventh Army, who was personally escorting a batch of supplies, looked at the telegram and was not at all surprised by the sudden rush out of India with a Qing army of more than 200,000 people, but was very happy.

In fact, although the main direction of attack of the Ming Dynasty is not in India, and there is no idea of sending a large army to attack India at the same time, it does not mean that there are no spies of the Ming army in the Indian direction.

With the radio as an intelligence 'big killer', the intelligence system of the Ming Dynasty is really pervasive, no matter how tightly the Manchu Qing Dynasty blocked the news, the intelligence personnel of the Ming Dynasty always have a way to convey the news through the radio.

Therefore, India's Qing army has naturally been under the surveillance of the Ming Dynasty, of course, India's Qing army is almost all ordinary Indian flags, in the eyes of the Ming army, but the general chickens and dogs, even if it is three thousand full eight banners, it is no longer in the eyes of the Ming army. If they don't take the initiative to leave India, the Ming Dynasty will not look at India until they completely defeat Dolgon and destroy the Manchus.

And at this moment, since Jihar, the Indian flag Qing army, took the initiative to come out and want to 'make trouble', Chang Shunhou has only one way to deal with it, that is, let none of them think about returning to India.

As the commander of the Seventh Army, he was in charge of logistics and could not go to the front line to participate in the war.

Now that a Qing army from India has come to the door on its own, and there are still quite a few of them, finally his Seventh Army has a battle to fight.

"Order, five hundred iron cavalry escort supplies first, and the rest of the people, join me to meet the Indian Qing army looking for death!" Chang Shun then ordered.

Immediately, the Ming army guarding the supplies was divided into two parts, one part of 500 people continued to deliver supplies in the direction of Persia and Baghdad, and 4,500 people all the way to meet the Qing army such as Jihar.
