"Our army has nearly 30,000 dead and wounded, including more than 2,200 of our Eight Banner disciples!" Dolgon's voice was filled with anger and tyranny.

Other cannon fodder, such as the Indian flag and the Persian flag, will not have the slightest heartache for Dolgon, but the children of the Manchu Eight Banners are different, more than 2,200 people, which is already a big casualty for the sparsely populated Manchurians.

Of course, the cavalry of the Eight Banners alone did not kill so many people, and Dolgon counted the casualties of the Dragon Breaker Army into the Eight Banners, after all, they were all composed of Manchurians.

The Broken Dragon Army and the Mughal flintlock team shot at each other, at first because the flint performance in the hand was not as good as the flint performance of the Mughal flint team, the casualties were much more than the Mughal flint team, and later the Mughal flint team was defeated by the bombardment of the cannon, and among the more than 2,200 people killed and wounded, more than 1,000 were the flint team of the Broken Dragon Army, and the remaining more than 700 people were the cavalry of the Eight Banners.

"Just one Jabalpu city, it actually buried more than 2,000 of my Eight Banner disciples!" I thought that the capture of the Eight Banners of Jabald would result in dozens or more than 100 casualties, but I didn't expect that the number of dead and wounded was dozens of times that of their estimates, how could they endure it.

Not only was Dorgon furious, but the Eight Banners were also furious.

Such emotions undoubtedly influenced the way they conquered the city afterwards.

After the capture of Jabald, a large distance behind is a castle that can be defended, but although these cities can be bypassed and do not have to be breached, after all, they are located in the offensive route of the Qing army, and it is impossible for the Qing army to let go of these cities.

The defenders of these cities are not as determined to defend as Nandru of Jabald, nor do they have as many troops as Jabald, and the most is more than 10,000 troops, and even only one or two thousand, and more than half of them are Qing troops who will surrender as soon as they arrive, or simply abandon the city and flee.

Those who fell in the wind did not feel much trouble, and those who abandoned the city and fled were miserable, and after the Qing army killed them, they were like locusts sweeping by, and the corpses were all over the field.

When the Qing army was about to approach the second important town that had to be conquered, no less than 30,000 innocent Mughal people had already died under the massacre of the Manchu Eight Banners.

The new capital of the Mughals, Vijayawada City, the news of the Qing army's large-scale attack has already come, and the Mughal emperor has already begun to gather troops on a large scale, threatening to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army and defeat the Qing army in a battle.

The Mughal Emperor's confidence came from the 80,000 flint guns aided by the Ming Dynasty, and the Mughal Emperor, who had seen the training of the flint spear team, was extremely confident in the combat effectiveness of the flint spear team, thinking that he would be able to defeat the Qing army with the help of the 80,000 flint spear team.

However, just one day later, when the news came that the city of Jabalpur had been captured by the Qing army, the Mughal emperor was stunned.

"Didn't Jabalpu have an army of 150,000? If it wasn't for the 20,000 flint guns, how could it be captured by the Qing army after only one day! What about Nandru! How Nandru guarded Jabalp! The Mughal emperor yelled angrily.

"Back to Your Majesty, General Nandru has died in Jabald!" The Mughal general, who delivered the message, replied.

"What!" The Mughal emperor was horrified.

He was quite ambitious to mobilize all the heavy troops to go to Jabalpur to fight the Qing army, to defeat the Qing army in one battle, and to recover the capital city of Delhi captured by the Qing army, but now he told her that Jabald was finished, and the 150,000 army was also finished.

This was undoubtedly a very heavy blow, which made the Mughal emperor question whether he could defeat the Qing army by relying on a decisive battle, what if he tried his best to fight the decisive battle again this time? Where else could he escape?

The Mughal emperor was originally timid, and originally thought that the 80,000 flint team would definitely be able to defeat the Qing army, but Jabald's 20,000 flint team relying on Jabald City could only support one day under the attack of the Qing army, and now there are 60,000 flint spears left, how to defeat the Qing army.

For more than a year, although the Mughal Emperor forcibly formed a million troops, the Mughal Emperor never pinned his hopes on these ordinary armies, after all, the last time the Qing army attacked on a large scale, hundreds of thousands of troops were not defeated by the Qing army, and the Qing army at that time was only more than 200,000 people, but this time, the Qing army was nearly 500,000 troops, in addition to witnessing its powerful flint team, he didn't know how to defeat the Qing army and keep his Mughal Empire.

However, now, the flintlock team does not seem to be so powerful in front of the Qing army, and it may not be able to defeat the Qing army, how can his pride and confidence not be seriously hit.

Not only the Mughal emperor, but other Mughal ministers were also worried about how to defeat the Qing army.

The Mughals, from the emperor to the courtiers, were hesitating, unable to make up their minds to fight the Qing army with all their might, fearing another defeat.

Liu Chang stood with a Ming army commander, and the two looked at each other quietly as they watched the performance of the Mughal monarchs and ministers.

The commander of the Ming legion, named Lü Yunzhang, was the highest official of the Ming Dynasty in the Mughal Empire, and had full authority to deal with the Ming Dynasty's strategy against the Mughal Empire.

The Ming Dynasty hoped that the Mughal Empire would not fight a decisive battle with the Qing army all at once, but rely on flint guns and gradual resistance in the city to maximize the degree of the Qing army's attack on the city and destroy the Mughal Empire, and let the Qing army pay enough casualties in the process.

Seeing that the time had come, Lu Yunzhang and Liu Chang stood up together and arched their hands to the Mughal Emperor.

"Your Majesty the Mughal Emperor, in fact, it is not difficult for you to repel the Qing army!" Lu Yunzhang opened his mouth and said.

In a word, it is to see through the shocking sky!

"What! Commander Lu actually has a way to help my Mughal Empire repel the Qing army? The Mughal Emperor's eyes widened suddenly, and he said with great excitement.

Not only the Mughal Emperor, but other Mughal officials also looked at Lu Yunzhang and Liu Chang in shock.

"I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers the last time the Qing army invaded the Mughal on a large scale, why did it stop continuing the offensive in the end?" Lu Yunzhang asked.

The Mughal Emperor thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

The Mughal Empire did not establish an intelligence network, and in addition to the fact that Dolgon blocked the news well, and the Mughal Empire did not specifically investigate, it was not known that the Qing army stopped the offensive because there were no shells.

"Last time, the Qing army ran out of shells and had to divide its troops to garrison the various cities it captured, so its troops were not strong, and finally they had to stop attacking! Presumably Your Majesty also knows that the Qing army's artillery is powerful, and now it has only been more than a year, even if the Qing army produces shells day and night, the number must be limited, if Your Majesty exerts all his strength to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, it will be as the Qing army wishes, so that the Qing army can defeat all your majesty's armies in one battle, and your Majesty will no longer have the ability to resist at that time! However, if His Majesty does not fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, but adopts the strategy of gradual resistance and continuous consumption of the Qing army, the Qing army may not be able to break through multiple fortresses in a row and kill under the city of Vijayawada, and eventually it will run out of shells as it did last time, and the soldiers will be lost too much and have to stop the attack! Lu Yunzhang said.
