After leaving the city of Delhi, the Qing army marched southeast non-stop, aiming to reach the first important town on the way to the new capital of the Mughal Empire, the city of Jabalpur.

From Delhi to the new Mughal capital of Vijayawada on the southeast coast, there are about six important towns that must be conquered, and more than 20 cities that can be bypassed, but are also in the way, and Jabalpur is the first important town that must be conquered.

"Drive!" Some of the Manchurian soldiers hung behind the Persian and Indian infantry marching on foot.

At this time, suddenly an Indian flag soldier suddenly crooked his feet during the march, and after a while, he fell behind to the rear, and even broke away from the large army.

"Da-da——--da

"No ——-" the fallen Indian flag soldier seemed to realize something, shouting in fear.

However, it was too late, and the steel knife of the Eight Banners Cavalry had already slashed through his neck.

"Poof!" Blood splattered and heads rolled off.

The fate of the Indian flag soldier who fell behind scared the other Indian flag soldiers who continued to march in front, and those Indian flag soldiers marched one by one, for fear that they would also fall behind and end up with the Indian flag soldier.

This is how the Manchus have always trained their infantry, and the Han Banner Army was also trained by them in this way. Let the newly built infantry follow behind the horse's butt and keep running, as long as there are those who fall behind, they will be slashed immediately, and at the cost of death, the other infantry will not dare to fall behind.

By running non-stop, it can not only enhance the physical strength of the soldiers, but also enhance their discipline, so that they subconsciously become more and more respectful to the Manchus who can cut them at will, and dare not disobey the orders of the Manchus.

Why the Han Banner Army, which surrendered to the Qing Army, was always stronger in combat than when it was still the Ming Army, was not because of this extremely cruel training method of the Manchus.

Therefore, it is conceivable that even if the combat effectiveness of the Indians is indeed not high, under such cruel training of the Manchus, they will inevitably be stronger than the Mughal Emperor's ** team, which is also composed of Indian untouchables.

On the twentieth day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, after three days of marching, 475,000 troops under the personal command of Dolgon were about to march under the city of Jabalpu.

Jabalpur was the first important town to defend against the Qing army, and 150,000 Mughal troops were stationed in the city.

The Qing army had just begun to attack, and even if the Mughal Empire introduced a large number of war horses with excellent running ability from the Ming Dynasty to deliver the news, it would not take four or five days to reach the Mughal Emperor in the new Mughal capital, Vijayawada City, so it was impossible for the Mughal Emperor to send reinforcements for a while.

The early resistance to the Qing army could only rely on the walls of Jabalpur and the 150,000 Mughal troops in Jabalpur.

The commander of the 150,000 Mughal army in Jabalpur was named Nandru, a close confidant of the Mughal emperor, who had a certain talent and won the trust of the Mughal emperor.

The Qing army was about to enter the city, although Nandru had some talents, but he was still full of fear and anxiety about Dorgon and the Qing army, even if he used his life to serve the Mughal emperor and the will to live and die with the city of Jabalpur, but the confidence in defending the city of Jabalpu was not great.

"General Liu! General Liu! Da Ming must help my Mughal Empire resist the attack of the Qing army! Seeing Liu Chang walk in, Nandru, the commander of the Mughal army in Jabalpur City, hurriedly greeted him.

More than a year ago, the Ming Dynasty launched the aid process for the Mughal Empire, not only selling tens of thousands of flint guns to the Mughal Empire at a high price, but also sending some regular soldiers of the Ming army to train the Mughal army, so that they have the ability to resist the attack of the Qing army, Liu Chang was one of the Ming troops sent.

"General Nandru, I say it again, I'm not a general, please call me Platoon Commander Liu!" Liu Chang said solemnly to Nandru.

'General' in the current Ming Dynasty, at least it is the title of a general above the regiment commander, Liu Chang is just a small platoon commander, and he doesn't deserve the title of 'general', he prefers others to call him Liu Platoon Commander.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Nandru didn't care what Liu Chang liked to be called, he only cared if Liu Chang could help him resist the Qing army's attack and hold the city of Jabalpu until imperial reinforcements arrived.

"Platoon Commander Liu! You must help my Mughal Empire resist the Qing army's attack! After Nandru changed his name, he said to Liu Chang eagerly again.

Liu Chang hurriedly stopped and said: "General Nanderu is wrong, there are only twenty Ming soldiers under my command Liu Chang, and I can help the general train and train soldiers in peacetime, but I can't help the general resist the Qing army, and the task of resisting the Qing army still depends on the general and the 150,000 army under the general's command!" ”

Liu Chang was only ordered to enter the Mughal Empire to help the Mughal Empire train the flint team, and before that, he had already been informed of the ultimate purpose of this mission.

It is just to prevent the Mughal Empire from being destroyed by the Qing army without resistance, so that they can have some resistance in the face of the Qing army, and can achieve the goal of mutual attrition with the Qing army.

In the city of Jabalpur there were 20,000 Liu Chang and 20 regular soldiers of the Ming army training Mughal flint guns.

In other words, it has been more than a year since the training of the 20,000 Mughal flint gun team, but the Mughal flint gun team has not been able to meet Liu Chang's expectations, not that Liu Chang looks down on it, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Mughal army are too low, even if there are flint guns in hand, the strength of being able to swing a few percent of the flint guns is unpredictable.

Even if Nandr taught him all the 20,000 Mughal flint spear teams, Liu Chang would be able to praise the arrival of Mughal reinforcements without daring to pack a ticket.

"However, General Nandru, please rest assured, I, Liu Chang, will do my best to help General Nandru hold Jabalp City no matter what." In the end, in order to increase some confidence in Nandru, Liu Chang still made some promises to Nandru.

"That's it, then thank you Platoon Commander Liu!" Nandru was indeed reassured a little, and his confidence increased a lot.

The Qing army repeatedly invaded the Mughal Empire, and the last time it directly captured the imperial capital Delhi, as well as a large area of the Mughal Empire, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Mughal Empire were defeated by the Qing army, as long as the city attacked by the Qing army, none of them could survive.

Liu Chang's position in the Ming army may not be high, but he has helped Nan Drew train 20,000 Mughal flint guns for more than a year, and Nan Drew sees the performance of the flint gun team, and his strong combat effectiveness makes him excited, which is why he respects Liu Chang so much.

With Yootsune's promise, Nandru is undoubtedly more confident in holding Jabalp.

"General Nandru, the Qing army is already under the city!" A Mughal army general rushed in and reported loudly with a nervous face.

Nandru's face was ugly: "Immediately prepare all the armies in the city, and be sure to defend Jabalp City before reinforcements arrive!" ”

"Platoon Commander Liu, I'll go first!" After Nandru said something to Liu Chang, he also hurried forward to arrange a fight against the Qing army.

Looking at the back of Nandru leaving, the corners of Liu Chang's mouth hooked up a sneer of disdain.

He will naturally do his best, not only him, but all the Ming soldiers who are in the territory of the Mughal Empire and help the Mughal Empire train the flint team will do their best, obey the emperor's will, and try their best to make the Mughal Empire corpses all over the field in order to resist the Qing army!
