In fact, it does.

The commander of the Mughal army, who was outside the east gate, learned about the situation in the city, and learned that the city was now occupied by the Qing army, and the army of more than 100,000 was buried like this, and he collapsed in an instant, his face full of remorse.

"Rubbish! Rubbish! The Mughal commander yelled angrily.

He scolded the ordinary Mughal soldiers who were untouchables, and as an absolute high caste with blood ties to the royal family, the Mughal army commander undoubtedly looked down on his own Mughal soldiers, all of whom were untouchables.

In fact, the commander of the Mughal army didn't want to think about it, he looked down on the untouchables and disliked the low combat effectiveness of the untouchables, but the untouched people ate and waited for death, and the idea of looking forward to the next life was passed down from generation to generation, if it weren't for the fact that these untouchables had been like this for thousands of years, how could this land with nearly 100 million people come to rule by their Mughal royal family.

To say that the ethnic group of the Mughal royal family, in fact, is not even half of the number of Manchurians, and it was only because the untouchables, the main ethnic group of India, did not want to resist and had low combat effectiveness.

"The city of Haryana has been lost, and it is impossible to rely on the city, so it seems that there will be another decisive battle outside the city." The commander of the Mughal army gritted his teeth and said.

At present, counting the more than 40,000 soldiers who escaped from the city, there are nearly 300,000 Mughal soldiers under his command, of which 30,000 are the most elite army composed of their Mughal direct clans, the Mo Wang Army, 3,000 war elephants have not lost much, and there are more than 2,800 heads, the most elite force is lost, even if there are 150,000 less troops than the original, it is not impossible to win against the Shangqing army.

But no matter what, this decisive battle is about the rise and fall of the Mughal Empire, as some of the high castes of royal blood, the Mughal army commanders will never allow the Mughal Empire to be destroyed, and they will continue to rule the Mughal Empire and continue to enslave the untouchables here.

At all costs, the big battle must be won!

Immediately, the commander of the Mughal army ordered the army to retreat five miles and set up a decisive battle with the Qing army on the Ganges Plain.

Inside the city, after the Qing army occupied Haryana City, it was even more morale-boosting, because everyone knew that behind Haryana City was the Ganges Plain, which could reach directly under the imperial capital of the Mughal Empire.

"Newspaper"

"Qiqi Regent, the Mughal army is in a decisive battle outside the city!" A Qing army general came to Dolgon and said.

"Oh?" Dolgon's eyes flashed, and he said, "Then fight them!" ”

His Qing army was dominated by cavalry such as the Manchu Eight Banners and servant cavalry, and the flat plain with a wide field of vision happened to have the greatest combat effectiveness of the cavalry, so being able to fight the remaining Mughal army on the flat and open Ganges Plain was just in their favor, and they couldn't ask for it.

Now that the three important towns have been captured by the Qing Dynasty, as long as the nearly 300,000 Mughal troops outside the city are dealt with, they will be able to directly attack the capital of the Mughal Empire.

If the original Mughal army had 450,000 troops, and Dolgon was only sure that he could win, now that the Mughal army has less than 150,000, Dolgon's victory has reached 10 percent!

Immediately, the Qing army took nearly 70,000 Manchu Eight Banners as the first and slowly left the city. This was followed by two hundred and eighty cannons pulled by the soldiers of the artillery battalion and a part of the Persian flag soldiers, with the Persian flag and the servant cavalry at the end.

The Qing army had a total of more than 110,000 cavalry, 70,000 Persian banners, and a total of nearly 190,000 troops.

The Mughal army only retreated five miles, and seemed to know the power of the Qing army's artillery, and it was impossible to wait for the Qing army to deploy before the decisive battle.

When the Qing army had just left the city, and the Manchu Eight Banners at the front came to a distance of less than 400 meters from the Mughal army, the Mughal army rushed up first.

The commander of the Mughal army mobilized more than 2,800 war elephants to participate in the battle at the beginning.

Because it is well known that war elephants are afraid of artillery, the Qing army's artillery is too fierce, once the Qing army's artillery is placed and begins to bombard, the herd of more than 2,800 war elephants is too variable, and it is likely to be useless.

Looking at the huge herd of war elephants rushing towards him, Dolgon frowned, but he did not hesitate, and pointed forward with his sword.

"Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, meet the battle elephant herd!"

"Kill" Nearly 70,000 Manchu Eight Banner Iron Horsemen all rushed out to meet the war elephant herd of the Mughal army.

Naturally, Dolgon was not preparing for the Manchurian Eight Banners to defeat the huge herd of war elephants of the Mughal army, but only to let them stall for time and wait for the artillery to be ready.

Dorgon also saw the intention of the Mughal commander to crush his army with war elephants before his cannons were ready.

The distance of less than 400 meters is not far at all under the hedge between the war horse and the war elephant.

Soon, the Manchurian Eight Banners collided with the Mughal army's herd of war elephants.

Of course, the war horse cannot compare to the huge body of the war elephant.

As soon as "Ah" collided, many war horses full of eight banners were knocked away, and the power of the war elephant herd was instantly revealed.

However, although the war elephants are powerful, they are also known for their ferocity and fearlessness of death.

Many cavalrymen of the Eight Banners did not care about their own deaths at all, and while colliding with the war elephant, they desperately swung their knives and slashed at the nose of the war elephant.

The nose is one of the weaknesses of the war elephant, although before the war the Mughal army will install a layer of iron armor on the tail of the war elephant's nose to protect the war elephant's nose, but the middle part and the upper part do not have iron armor, the steel knife is easy to cut off the war elephant's neck from these two places, and the full eight banners cavalry riding a war horse, from the height, can also cut the middle and upper part of the war elephant's nose.

The noses of no less than thirty war elephants were cut off by the cavalry of the Eight Banners in an instant, and of course, the Eight Banners also paid for the lives of dozens of people at that moment.

The war elephant with the nose cut off was ramming around, not only injuring other cavalrymen of the Eight Banners, but also hitting other war elephants, in short, the battlefield was in chaos.

In the face of the war elephant herd, it is impossible for the Manchurian Eight Banners to form any cavalry formation, and they are all scattered to fight with the war elephant herd.

In general, the Manchurian Eight Banners have an absolute advantage after all, even if the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the war elephants is several times that of ordinary cavalry, but in the face of so many fierce Manchu Eight Banners, it is impossible to really have any advantages.

"Chongah" took advantage of the battle elephant herd and the Manchurian Eight Banners to fight, and nearly 300,000 Mughal troops also rushed over.

Of course, in order to avoid being accidentally injured by war elephants, nearly 300,000 Mughal troops came around from both sides of the war elephant herd and the war elephants full of eight banners, with about 150,000 on one side.

"Kill" The Qing army servants, cavalry and Persian flags also met from both sides.

Soon, the servant cavalry and the Persian banner also fought the Mughal army on both sides.

Less than 50,000 servant cavalry on one side faced nearly 150,000 Mughal troops, and the same 70,000 Persian banners on the other side faced nearly 150,000 Mughal troops. On one side was three times the size of the servant cavalry, and on the other side was more than twice as large as the Persian flag.

Although the Mughal army has an absolute advantage in numbers, the combat effectiveness of the Mughal army is not high, and it is impossible to defeat the Qing army on both sides for a while.

Dolgon's face was calm, but the commander of the Mughal army suddenly smiled coldly and looked to the right, where was the direction of the Persian flag of the Qing army.

Suddenly, the 70,000 Persian flag, which was originally fighting with nearly 150,000 Mughal troops, suddenly changed, and was defeated by a well-equipped Mughal army with a full set of heavy armor, the number of which was about 30,000, which was the exclusive Mowang army of the Mughal royal clan.

It turned out that the commander of the Mughal army hid the 30,000 Mowang army on one side at the beginning, which was taken by surprise.

I have to say that the commander of the Mughal army succeeded, the Qing army was indeed defenseless, and the 70,000 Qing army Persian flags facing the battle on the right side were defeated and retreated, and it was not enough to stop them at all, seeing that the Mohist army continued to cut through the defense of the Persian flag, once they broke through, they would directly kill the Qing army's artillery camp and destroy the Qing army's artillery.

However, Dolgon's face was still calm and unflustered.

I saw Dolgon make a gesture, and after a while, the horn of the Qing army suddenly sounded and spread throughout the battlefield.

After a while, the Manchu Eight Banners, which were originally fighting with the elephants, suddenly separated 20,000 cavalry and came out to meet the Mo Wang army on the right who was preparing to cut through the Persian flag for defense.

Originally, there was no need for nearly 70,000 full eight banners to meet the battle with less than 3,000 war elephants, but now it is naturally easy to divide 20,000.

The Mo army may be different from the ordinary Mughal army and stronger than the ordinary Mughal army, but they also have no upper hand in front of the Manchu Eight Banners, which are known as the first cavalry in the world.

As soon as King Mo's army cut through the defense of the Persian banner, it was killed head-on by 20,000 Manchu Eight Banners, and the way was blocked again.

Seeing such a situation, in the rear of the Mughal army, the face of the commander of the Mughal army suddenly became ugly.

However, this is not over, only to see the horn of the Qing army sounding again.

The Manchu Eight Banners, who were still fighting between the central war elephants and the Mughal war elephants, suddenly rode their horses and galloped in all directions, breaking away from contact with the war elephant herd.

The degree of the war horse was originally more than twice that of the war elephant, and the war elephant herd could only watch the cavalry of the Eight Banners leave the battlefield, and it was impossible to catch up for a while.

When the Manchu Eight Banners in the central battlefield were completely separated from the war elephants, the artillery of the Qing army opened fire.

"Boom, boom, boom" 280 shells were dumped in the herd of war elephants in the central battlefield.

All of a sudden, the people who blew up this huge herd of war elephants turned over on their backs, and there was a big chaos.

The Qing artillery originally followed behind the Manchu Eight Banners, so after a while of the battle, the Qing artillery was also lined up and prepared.

War elephants have a natural fear of cannonballs.

Under the deliberate bombardment of the Qing artillery, the explosions in the direction of the Qing army's artillery were particularly intensive, but the explosions on the other three sides were less, and the war elephants were very smart, and they immediately knew the choice.

Only under the second round of the Qing army's running and bombardment, the herd of war elephants was routed and fled to the left, right and rear.

The herds of war elephants fleeing to the left and right suddenly crashed into the Mughal army on both sides, and the military formations of nearly 300,000 Mughal troops on both sides were thrown into chaos.

Among the Mughal army, there were originally more than 40,000 people who escaped from the city, they were afraid of being bombed in the city, and they could not resist the sound of the Qing army's artillery.

The fighter plane appeared, and a cold glint flashed in Dorgon's eyes.

At this time, it was obvious that there was no longer a need for artillery to continue to bombard the dense Mughal army, and now a fatal blow was the main thing.

Once again, Dorgon seized this rare opportunity and once again ordered his soldiers to blow their horns.

"Woo woo woo"

The characteristic instruction sound of the Qing army's horn sounded.

The Manchu Eight Banners, which had been scattered and out of contact with the war elephant herd, came back and slaughtered them all at once into the Mughal soldiers on both sides and slashed hard.

At the moment, the Mughal army, which was not high in combat effectiveness and had a rout situation, really evolved into a rout in an instant.

A part of the Mughal soldiers took the lead, and more Mughal soldiers followed.

With a bang, the entire Mughal army of nearly 300,000 was completely routed under the attack of the Qing army.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the mountains were full of Mughal soldiers who fled in all directions.

"Kill" The Qing army took the opportunity to pursue and kill, which added to the rout of the Mughal soldiers.

"Ah, rubbish, a bunch of useless rubbish!" In the rear, the commander of the Mughal army had a sweet throat and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, but he held it back and flushed his face.

He really didn't expect that he would be defeated with an army of 450,000 troops.

If he had abandoned Haryana City earlier and fought a decisive battle with the Qing army outside the city, then not only would he have 150,000 more troops, but the soldiers would not have watched the Qing army bombard Haryana City for a long time and forcibly occupy Haryana City and their morale would have been greatly damaged.

Perhaps there was also the reason why the commander of the Qing army was eloquent and did not let go of any fighters, but in short, they lost the battle.

The commander of the Mughal army was so sad that he suddenly drew his sword and put it across his neck.

"Poof!" Blood was splattered, corpses fell to the ground, and the commander of the Mughal army actually killed himself in despair, but he still had a little courage.

There is no suspense in the next war, the Mo Wang army may have some combat effectiveness, but unfortunately the ordinary Mughal army has collapsed, and they can only fail in the face of the attack of the absolute superiority of the Qing army, after being killed more than 20,000 people, nearly 10,000 people surrendered to the Qing army.

And those ordinary Mughal soldiers, under the pursuit of more than 100,000 cavalry of the Qing army, in this vast and flat Ganges Plain, it is also difficult to escape the pursuit.

In addition to those who were cut and killed, about 200,000 Mughal soldiers were captured by the Qing army, counting the more than 100,000 Mughal soldiers captured in Haryana City, after the battle of Haryana City, the Qing army captured no less than 300,000 Mughal troops, as well as more than 1,000 war elephants, and the battle was quite fruitful.

The main thing was that the Qing army completely opened the road to Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire.

Without hesitation, Dolgon only left 40,000 Qing troops to stay in Haryana City to guard the captured Mughal soldiers, and then led the remaining 100,000 Qing troops to Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire.

As the Qing army approached Delhi, it was obviously difficult for the capital of the Mughal Empire to withstand the Qing army's attack, and it seemed that the end of the huge Mughal Empire was imminent, however, it was not that simple.

When the Qing army was less than 100 miles away from the capital of the Mughal Empire, one of the Qing cavalry that had first gone to Delhi to find out the news returned.

"Newspaper"

"Qi Qi Regent, the Mughal Emperor abandoned the capital and fled, and he didn't know where to go, Delhi is already an empty city!"

"What! The Mughal emperor fled? Dorgon roared, his face contorted.

As soon as the battle was won, he sent a cavalry to Delhi as fast as he could, just to prevent the Mughal emperor from escaping.

The speed of the war horse should be faster than the news of the defeat of the Mughal army, and the Mughal emperor should not have known the news that his army had been completely defeated, why did he flee so quickly.

If the Mughal emperor cannot be captured, even if he occupies the capital of the Mughal Empire, he will not be able to destroy the Mughal Empire, no wonder Dolgon is angry.

What Dolgon didn't know was that the news of the total defeat of the Mughal army might not have reached Delhi, but the news of the fall of Haryana had reached first.

The Mughal emperor was a typical timid, and the city of Haryana was the last barrier of Delhi, even if his hundreds of thousands of troops had not yet been defeated, but in his eyes, the fall of the city of Haryana had already indicated that Delhi was very unsafe.

There is no doubt that the Qing army is coming for the destruction of the empire, how can he still stay in Delhi, which is facing the Qing army.

It was under this mentality, coupled with the instigation of the equally fearful Mughal ministers, that the Mughal emperor abandoned the capital of Delhi and fled elsewhere before the news of the defeat of the Mughal army came.

"The cavalry will follow this king first and go to the city of Delhi!" Dorgon couldn't wait, he wanted to feel Derry as quickly as possible.

Immediately, the cavalry of the Qing army and the Persian banner had already separated from the artillery camp and went to Delhi first.

About an hour later, Dolgon led the Qing cavalry into the city of Delhi, and sure enough, the Mughal royal family and many of the high castes had fled first, leaving only a huge number of untouchables and other lower castes.

Although it was easy to occupy Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, Dolgon's face was not good-looking.

In general, although Dolgon captured Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, and a large area of territory in the northeast of the Mughal Empire, he could not completely destroy the Mughal Empire, and the war between the Manchus and the Mughal Empire would continue for some time to come.

About half a month later, the news of the capture of the capital of the Mughal Empire by the Qing army reached the city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty.

The stakes were very high, and Li Yan entered the palace as soon as possible to meet Zhu Cijiao.
