When the Qing army quickly retreated to the edge of the river, they gathered densely, and the Qing army mixed with the war elephants was instantly fewer, and the Qing army artillery on the other side immediately opened fire.

"Boom Boom"

Hundreds of shells exploded in the midst of the herd of war elephants.

Some war elephants were hit directly in the body, and even if the elephant was large, it could not withstand the power of the shell.

With a bang, a war elephant was blown off its back by a cannonball, and it was immediately blown up to the flesh and blood, half of the elephant's body was rotten, and the surrounding area was full of broken elephant meat, and the remaining half of the elephant's corpse also fell to the ground after flying two meters, which was really miserable.

There were also those that were not directly hit by the shells, but the shells exploded at a very close distance, and not only a large number of shrapnel was inserted into the elephant's body, but the entire huge elephant body was also swept away by the blazing waves of the shells.

In just one round of shelling, at least 10 war elephants were killed on the spot, and many more were injured.

This scene is too terrifying, although the war elephants are fierce and powerful, but they are also smart and timid, especially when they see their companions being directly hit by cannonballs, half of their bodies turned into minced flesh, and their eyes show human fear.

Cannonballs continue to explode in the herd, and elephants continue to fall to the ground.

In less than thirty breaths of bombardment, the Mughal war elephant herd reacted as expected, and all turned their heads, gave up continuing to attack the Qing army, and fled backwards, no matter how much the Mughal soldiers controlled the elephant did not obey the war elephant's orders.

The collapse of the war elephant herd and the flight backwards not only caused many Mughal soldiers behind to be accidentally injured, but also caused the Mughal army behind to rout with them.

The Mughal army was like that, as soon as the war elephants were defeated, they were also very close to the rout.

"Kill" Ao Bai roared, I don't know when he rode a war horse again, and rode the horse with a steel knife again to lead the Qing soldiers to kill.

"Kill" Seeing the defeat of the war elephant herd, the morale of the Qing army was like a rainbow, even if the Qing army that crossed the river was only more than 1,000 people, they dared to chase after the more than 90,000 Mughal troops and rushed away.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the more than 90,000 Mughal troops were so defeated that they could no longer continue to prevent the Qing army from flowing across the river.

More and more Qing troops crossed the river, fought to the other side, and joined in the pursuit of the Mughal rout.

On the other side, watching the Mughal army rout like this, Dolgon smiled disdainfully.

"Order, speed up the crossing of the river, and take the opportunity to penetrate deep into the territory of the Mughal Empire!" Dorgon ordered.

Immediately, the Qing army crossed the river more intensively, and in just two hours, 220,000 Qing troops all crossed the river.

The cavalry of the Qing army with war horses were only a little wet with their legs and feet, while the soldiers of the Persian flag of pure infantry were soaked all over, although the temperature was still very cold at this time, but the entire territory of the Mughal Empire was in a subtropical temperature, so it would not be cold anywhere, and the morale of the Qing army was not affected at all.

The defeat of more than 90,000 Mughal troops guarding the river, and the vanguard of 50,000 Qing cavalry, under the leadership of Aobai, pursued the defeated Mughal army into the depths of the Mughal Empire.

Unlike the previous three times, this time Dolgon was no longer just taking a few dozen cities and then returning captive, but was ready to take possession of the Mughal Empire.

The pressure brought by the Ming Dynasty is too great, if it is just an ordinary plunder, although it can also improve the strength of the Qing Dynasty, it will not improve too much after all, but if it can completely conquer the territory of the Mughal Empire, it will be different.

The Mughal Empire had a population of 90 million and was very wealthy.

Only by destroying the Mughal Empire, completely occupying the entire Mughal territory, and obtaining the population and wealth of the Mughal Empire, can Dolgon have some confidence to resist the Ming attack in the future, so it is said that Dolgon is aiming to destroy the country this time. As for whether a mere 220,000 Qing troops could destroy the entire Mughal Empire at once, it is unknown.

In the twelfth year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, on the twenty-second day of the first month.

Nearly 220,000 Qing troops, under the leadership of Dolgon, crossed the river, connected nine Mughal cities, and on the 22nd, attacked the northeastern city of the Mughal Empire, Genganaghar.

It was the first major town on the road to Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire.

Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, is located in the upper reaches of the Ganges Plain, with an open terrain that is not dangerous to defend. There are three major towns that can be relied on in front of Delhi, and in addition to the city of Genganagle, there are also two large cities, Syrsa and Haryana.

Once all three cities were captured by the Qing army, the Qing army could enter the Ganges Plain and go straight to the city of Delhi.

Capturing Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, and capturing the Mughal Emperor was Dorgon's goal this time.

When the Mughal emperor learned that the Qing army had broken through the city of Genganagar, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly convened the Mughal Empire's high-level to discuss how to resist the Qing army.

"Your Majesty, all troops must be dispatched immediately to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, and only by defeating the Qing army can the empire be saved!" A minister proposed the main battle road.

"Your Majesty, the Qing army is like a ferocious tiger wolf, it is too risky to dispatch a large army for a decisive battle, you can negotiate peace with the Qing army, and see how you can make the Qing army take the initiative to retreat!" There are ministers of the main war, and naturally there are ministers of the main peace.

"This" the Mughal Emperor looked at the minister who was in peace, which clearly indicated that the Mughal Emperor was more inclined to negotiate peace.

After all, the minister was right, the Qing army was like a ferocious tiger wolf, the first three invasions had been fully manifested, and it was too risky to send all the armies to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, once defeated, the empire would not be able to prevent the Qing army from coming to the city of Delhi, and the empire would not be protected.

"Then let's negotiate peace, as long as the Qing army is willing to retreat, they will give as much as they want!" The Mughal emperor finally compromised.

"Your Majesty!" The minister of the main battle was startled, his eyes widened, and he wanted to persuade again.

However, since the Mughal Emperor had already spoken the words of peace, he would not change any more, and raised his hand to stop the ministers who were in charge of the war from continuing.

On the same day, the Mughal Emperor sent an envoy to the front line of the war with the Qing army to negotiate with the Qing army.

The Mughal Empire sued for peace, and when negotiating, it was natural to hope that the Qing army could suspend the offensive first and give the Mughal Empire some hope.

However, since Dorgon was here for the destruction of the Mughal Empire, how could he agree to suspend the offensive.

Dolgon warmly entertained the Mughal envoys, and although he pretended to negotiate with the Mughal envoys, he did not order the Qing army to stop the offensive as the Mughal Empire requested, but continued to order the Qing army to attack the second important city on the road to Delhi, the city of Sylsa.
