841 What's going on?

Next, it was the reorganization of this Mughal infantry army.

The original establishment was disrupted, and the soldiers under each temporary generation of 100 households were immediately assigned. Although doing so will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness. However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about their combat effectiveness at all.

In addition to this, each hundred-man squad will also be joined by a prison army, which will be filled by the best 1,000 Mughal soldiers of the new army in the war. The reason why the soldiers of the Ming headquarters were not sent was because of the language barrier between the two sides. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen did not want to weaken the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

This reorganization only took two days, but this time can only complete the basic reorganization, after all, there are as many as 100,000 people. Subsequently, Emperor Chongzhen led the army to Delhi. During this march, the infantry was also given the opportunity to get acquainted with the new hundred-man detachment.

………………

At the same time as they marched to Delhi, there was also an army marching towards Delhi to the east of Delhi, and they were naturally the headquarters of Dalantai.

This way to the west was unexpectedly smooth, and the cities of the Mughal Empire would basically only shrink into the city. If the city is not well defended, Dalantai will drive the captives captured along the way to attack the city.

The reason why he did this, he didn't think that he could take the city. Therefore, when he first rushed down from the Tibetan plateau, this method was not successful again, except for the first few successes.

But even so, the main purpose of the army led by Dalantai is to create a huge momentum, so even if you can't beat the city, you have to fight a dozen. Anyway, yes, it's not his men, and if you consume the captives, you can save a lot of food.

But what he never expected was that on his way to the west, he attacked the city with captives, and he captured several cities, so that his prisoners became more and more.

At first, he was a little puzzled, but after interrogating the prisoners, he learned that the elite troops along the way had been taken away by Shashuja, the second prince of the Mughal Empire.

Hearing this news, Dalantai was a little worried.

Originally, that Shashuja had already drawn the elite army from the north of the Mughal Empire, and he had fought with Shashuja's subordinates, so he naturally knew it very well in his heart. Now, Shashuja has taken away all the elites of the towns along the way, and the troops are even more.

Thinking of this, Dalantai asked the Ming envoy: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses Your Majesty brought with him to lead his troops from the northwest of the Mughals?" ”

When the Ming envoy heard this, he thought for a while and replied: "When Your Majesty set off from Beijing, he brought 10,000 cavalry. ”

"What?" When Dalantai heard this, he was a little dumbfounded.

He always thought that the Ming Emperor would take a lot of horses with him. As a result, I didn't expect that when I set off from Beijing, I only brought 10,000 cavalry?

After coming back to his senses, Dalantai thought about it for a while, and then asked again: "Is it that Your Majesty still has troops drawn from all over the country?" ”

"Nope." When the Ming envoy heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Of the 10,000 cavalry troops led by His Majesty, 5,000 were mobilized from other places. ”

"......" Dalantai was speechless for a moment, if this is really the case, from the speed calculation, it is obviously impossible for the Ming Emperor to lead the infantry army, otherwise, it is impossible to enter from the northwest of the Mughal Empire so quickly. But if it is a cavalry, it is estimated that it will be on the other side of the Tianshan Mountains if the cavalry can be recruited along the way. Even if the sky is turned upside down, it is estimated in terms of population and logistics, at most it can add another 20,000, right?

30,000 cavalry troops, from the northwest of the Mughal Empire, with the consumption of troops, the city fell, creating such a big momentum, all forced the second Mughal prince to abandon himself, immediately lead the army back, and even along the way to draw troops, to do this, presumably the Ming Emperor must have fought a lot of big battles, in this way, how much combat power can he have on his side?

For this, Dalantai is deeply experienced. Every time you fight, even if you win in the end, you will definitely lose a lot of troops. It was also for this reason that he didn't dare to fight hard, just picked up soft persimmons and pinched them.

Thinking of this, Dalantai immediately said to the Ming envoy very worriedly: "Now that Shashuja has led the elite army back, he must be going to deal with His Majesty, and His Majesty's troops must not be much, will this be okay, what should we do?" ”

Hearing this, he saw that the Ming envoy just smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, the gods have descended to earth, and they have won all battles, how can they lose!" We just need to follow the plan and go all the way west to meet! ”

"......" Hearing this, Dalantai couldn't help but look at this Ming envoy a little stupidly, and he was a little speechless.

You said that the emperor is the true dragon emperor, well, I believe it, anyway, every emperor is a true dragon emperor!

However, since ancient times, there have been so many emperors, and that emperor is truly invincible? Even the greatest Genghis Khan suffered defeat back then, and he didn't even keep his wife! Not to mention, he is just the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, even if he has won some battles, dare to say that he has won all battles?

They are all people who lead the troops to fight, who does not know the danger of the soldiers, and who can be 100% sure that they can win any war? Not to mention, today's situation is actually not optimistic! Not to mention that there are so many important towns in the northwest of the Mughal Empire, the troops led by Shashuja alone are already very powerful, you Emperor Ming, can you really win?

Thinking like this, Dalantai really wanted to confirm it again and make this specific situation clear. However, when he saw the confident appearance of the Ming envoy in front of him, he thought about it for a moment and forgot it. Again, the answer is the same!

There is no other way, I just hope that the Ming Emperor's side will not meet the main force of Shashujia! Or avoid fighting, and wait for the two sides to join forces, and then think of a way. Or, if there was a lot of trouble on his side, that Shashujia finally had to divide his troops to find him, so that the pressure on the side of the Ming Emperor in the northwest would be lighter.

Thinking of this, Dalantai couldn't help muttering in his heart. Maybe this is the reason why Emperor Daming let his side make a big fanfare, but if he encounters a strong enemy, he still can't fight, so he can only withdraw!

Thinking so, the army still marched westward according to the plan.

Along the way, Dalantai has always been worried.

As a result, as he thought, even though he was getting closer and closer to Delhi, even if he was making a lot of noise, he did not see reinforcements from the Mughal Empire. In other words, the armies of the Mughal Empire should all go to deal with the Ming Emperor!

This time, I'm afraid it's hanging, right?

Dalantai thought so in his heart and wanted to talk to the Ming envoy, but seeing the confident appearance of the Ming envoy, he was speechless: Why is this Ming envoy so devout to their emperor?

He had a hunch that it wasn't very good, so he quietly began to make arrangements.

This is not far from Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, but there is still no reinforcement sent by the Mughal Empire, indicating that the Mughal Empire is dealing with the Ming Emperor's department. Once the war over there is over, it will inevitably come and clean itself up. There are only more than 10,000 horses, and we must be ready to withdraw at any time.

For this reason, Dalantai secretly found one of his most trusted subordinates, Jimuda, who was in charge of the sentry, and said to him in a very stern tone: "Don't look at us as smooth sailing now, in fact, we are likely to wander near the abyss. You let the sentry out, double the distance, and make sure that our army is not ambushed by the enemy, and you can't let the enemy army find out when it comes to you, understand? ”

He was afraid that the victory in front of him would blind his subordinates, so he deliberately elaborated and pointed out where the current crisis was.

Suddenly, Jimuda immediately understood the key to the war in the Mughal country, and hurriedly nodded in response.

From the next day, Jimuda personally led his men to the direction of Delhi to sentry. Because Delhi is the capital of the Mughals, the enemy situation here is the most important.

On this day, according to the information received in advance, and the interrogation of the prisoners, it was known that they were more than a hundred miles away from Delhi. But there were still no reinforcements from the Mughal Empire, which was extremely abnormal. Therefore, Jimuda made a decision and sent his men back to warn Dalantai to be careful, while he himself led the rest of the sentries and simply traveled to Delhi to find out.

During the cautious period, he also took a rest, and watched all his subordinates full of energy and the war horses in high spirits, before leading them forward.

For a distance of more than 100 miles, the cavalry generally takes a day. However, the sentry is equipped with many horses, and if you let go of running, it will naturally not take a day.

But Jimuda didn't do this, and it took a day and a half, leaving the men and horses with physical strength that could be used to escape in case of the unexpected.

In the early afternoon, we arrived around Delhi. This made Jimuda even more cautious, because along the way, he didn't meet anyone, not only the Mughal army, but also ordinary pedestrians, what the hell is this?

Turn around a hill and you will probably see Delhi!

He was thinking this, when suddenly he heard his men come and say, "There seems to be movement!" ”

When Jimuda heard this, he listened attentively, as if there was real movement, coming from a far away. This direction......

Discerning this, he turned to the direction of Delhi and hurriedly said to his men: "Go, there is a situation in Delhi, go and see!" ”

As he finished speaking, he took the lead and drove the horse forward.

All the way by, even if there was the sound of horses' hooves, the faint noise became clearer and clearer.

Turning the mountain, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the distant Delhi was the most eye-catching point. Jimuda and the others saw Delhi City at first sight, the capital of the Mughal Empire.

At this glance, everyone, including Jimuda, these sentinels were all stunned: what was going on?
