832 Dreaming
"What?" As soon as Shashuja heard the messenger's message, he was immediately shocked and said, "The Ming army has captured Kashmir and is besieging Lahore? ”
He can't be blamed for being so shocked, because the generals around him are basically all like this.
As he spoke, Sha Shujia hurriedly took the emergency report and looked at it.
This is an urgent report from the Delhi side, asking him to urgently return to rescue Lahore, and by the way, ensure that Delhi is safe.
"Your Highness, quickly lead the troops back to help!" The messenger knelt there and pleaded, "It is the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom who personally leads the army, and if you go back late, Lahore will be lost, and Delhi will be in danger!" ”
This is another very heavy news, which almost stunned everyone who heard this.
The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom would appear in the northwest of the empire? Is this crazy?
At this time, Sha Shujia had already finished reading the emergency report, and hurriedly raised his head, stared at the messenger and asked, "How many soldiers and horses did the Emperor of Ming bring with him?" 100,000, or 200,000? Why can't I say clearly? ”
"Your Highness, time is urgent, and we haven't verified how many soldiers and horses the Ming Emperor has for the time being!" The messenger hurriedly explained, "But the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom drove a personal expedition and said that he was going to destroy our Mughal Empire, and the soldiers and horses brought by it will definitely not be less." ”
After a pause, he immediately added: "The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom has tens of thousands of cavalry alone. Moreover, Kashmir was captured in a very short period of time, and now only the capital is left there. But even so, as long as an army is sent out, it will inevitably be destroyed by the Ming army, and the situation is critical. If Lahore is lost, and Delhi is in danger again, the Great Khan will be furious! ”
Needless to say, Shashuja himself knows it. Not to mention Delhi, even if Lahore is captured, it is not something he can afford. Thinking that he had transferred all the elite troops over there, in case it was captured by the Ming army, he would wait for Shah Jahan to come back......
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw the troops, quickly, withdraw the troops!" ”
When the generals around him heard this, they followed the order. However, one of the generals also reminded: "Your Highness, what about those enemies? ”
Hearing this, Shashuja couldn't help but glance up at the enemy camp in front of him. At this time, he was very anxious, how good would it be if he had already destroyed these enemies?
However, now it has not been extinguished, but he can't care about it, he just said: "It's okay, let the local army deal with it first, and it's important to return to Lahore." ”
Speaking of this, I remembered that the Ming Emperor was personally driving the expedition in Lahore, and the troops would definitely not be less, so I felt that it was not safe, so I ordered again: "By the way, along the way, we must draw as many troops as possible, otherwise if the troops are not enough, we will go in vain." If it is enough, save Lahore and win the ......"
When he said this, Sha Shujia's eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole spirit suddenly lifted up, and he raised his voice and said: "If we win the Ming army and arrest the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, do you say, is this a great merit?" ”
As soon as they heard this, these generals under him immediately came back to their senses. Suddenly, all of them had their eyes lit up.
That's right, if you can catch the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, this is a great achievement!
The Ming Emperor led the army in the northwest of the empire, even if he was an emperor, it was impossible to have many soldiers and horses. On the Empire's side, however, it is a local war, where it can levy as many troops and civilians as possible and mobilize as many resources as possible. So, hehe......
The more I think about it, the more cost-effective it is to return to Lahore! The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to fly to Lahore immediately, defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop, trample the Ming emperor under his feet, and then repay Shah Jahan!
Suddenly, the hearts of these generals of the Mughal Empire became hot one by one, and their eyes were full of longing.
Shashuja himself is too, at this time, he has recovered from the initial shock, remembering that he led the army, and he can kill the enemy in front of him only with defensive power, but no ability to fight back. It can be seen that his ability to lead troops is still very strong. What if the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is caught?
If you have this credit, whether it is Darashik or Aurangzeb, who can compete with him for the throne?
Thinking like this, Shashuja was so anxious that he hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw, quickly withdraw......"
………………
In the large camp opposite them, Dalantai, the son of Gushi Khan, was not in a good mood. But this can't be blamed on him, no matter who is insulted by the enemy's various provocations and insults, but can't fight, who can be in a good mood?
What's more, it was not his intention to stick to the fight. If, according to his wishes, after defeating the Mughal Empire and attracting so many enemy troops, he would immediately retreat to the plateau. As soon as the enemy army leaves, they will attack again, which is the safest way to fight.
However, the Ming envoy did not agree, and he must continue to make trouble in the Mughal Empire, so that when such a situation appeared, Dalantai was of course uncomfortable in his heart.
But he couldn't help it if he was uncomfortable, because Gushi Khan had a strict order, so that he must listen to the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't make his own opinions.
Therefore, for the repeated provocations of the enemy, he can only be invisible, and he will not go out of the tent of the Chinese army. Anyway, these enemies on the opposite side did not have the courage to attack the big battalion.
For this, he actually knows that it should be that the other party thinks that he will win, so he doesn't want to lose too much, just like a cat is teasing him before eating a mouse.
But this time, it was a big surprise to him.
A soldier flew to him and said that the enemy had withdrawn.
"What's the situation?" When Dalantai heard this, he hurriedly left the Chinese military tent and went to the camp gate to check the enemy's movements.
Sure enough, as reported, the enemy had withdrawn to the camp, not to mention, and even returned to the camp, and was still shouting at the man neighing, as if he was going to pull out the camp and leave?
This time, Dalantai couldn't understand it.
He is not a brainless and inexperienced person, after all, he is a person who defeated Qinghai-Tibet with Gushi Khan, and he can be said to have rich experience in warfare. If he is not reliable, Gushi Khan will not let him lead the army.
However, from his experience, he couldn't guess what the hell the enemy on the other side was doing.
Looking at them in such a hurry, it seems that the incident happened suddenly, and there is something urgent to hurry to go.
But what can they be in a hurry?
According to what he knew, the Ming army was in a stalemate with the forces of the Mughal Empire in two places, Bengal and Bombay. Both of these places are very far from here, and it is unlikely that things in these two places have affected this place.
Also, on the Bengal side, it was Aurangzeb, who was famous for fighting in the Mughal Empire, led the army, even if he couldn't defeat the Ming army, he wouldn't make the enemy in front of him so panicked and leave, right?
As for Mumbai, there is Shah Jahan leading the army, and the Ming army is far away from the mainland, so there must not be many troops, so it is even more unlikely that Shah Jahan lost the battle, so he wants to go to the rescue here, right?
Dalantai thought about it, but he couldn't understand what was going on with the enemy on the other side?
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, could it be that the other side felt that his camp was strong, so he thought of another way, wanting to attract himself out and beat himself?
Dalantai was thinking about it, but he saw that the messenger of the Great Ming also hurried to his side, and after watching the enemy's movements as well, he saw that his face showed great joy.
"What do you mean? Isn't it because the enemy is leaving? When Dalantai saw it, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "What if it's a fraud and a fake, what if you kill the horse pistol?" ”
He was thinking like this, but when he saw that the Great Ming Envoy seemed to confirm and confirmed, he suddenly turned his head and spoke to him.
When the translator on the side heard this, he was obviously stunned, showing an incredible expression. This made Dalantai a little curious, what was the situation and what did he say?
At this time, I saw that the Ming envoy was very excited to urge the translator, so that the translator came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to Dalantai: "The Ming envoy said that the enemy is so panicked and wants to leave, it must be the emperor leading the troops!" ”
Dalantai was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked a little puzzled: "Emperor, which emperor?" Father Khan? ”
When he said this, he suddenly came back to his senses, the emperor that the Ming envoy said was definitely not his father Khan, but the emperor of their Ming Empire!
As soon as he thought of this, he was immediately stupid: The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is here? It can't be, right?
He was being surprised, and the Ming envoy said to him again: "Before I came, the emperor explained that if the enemy retreats in a hurry, then nine times out of ten the emperor has led the army to attack the surrounding area of Delhi and threaten the Mughal capital. Therefore, our army must cooperate to fight westward, and finally attack from both sides, destroy the mobile forces of the Mughals, and turn the enemy's heart position upside down. ”
Speaking of this, he remembered something, and added: "It is also because of this that our army's side cannot retreat to Tibet, and we must always attract the enemy's main force here." ”
Before, I couldn't say that. However, after deducing the situation from the enemy in front of him, the Ming envoy said with confidence.
He said this, so that Dalantai couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and it was too unexpected for him to have such a thing.
When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly asked for specific details.
So, the Ming envoy told him about the things handed over to him by Emperor Chongzhen, probably saying that the emperor would send troops from the Tianshan Mountains, detour to the northwest of the Mughal Empire, and surprise attack there......
After listening, Dalantai understood the entire deployment of the Ming Emperor, for this reason, he also felt a little incredible, attacking the Mughal Empire on all sides, and the various armies were 108,000 miles apart, how did this make the army of the Mughal Empire move with the Ming Emperor want?
What if Shah Jahan didn't go to Mumbai, what if this side was already defeated? Why was the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom so bold as to dare to enter the northwest of the Mughal Empire alone?
Now, judging from the enemy's hasty retreat, Emperor Ming's combat intention has really been realized!
Thinking of this, he remembered the great exploits of the Ming Emperor again, and suddenly, his eyes lit up!
