Humayun, the emperor of the Mughal Empire, rode a horse through a valley in Burma.

On both sides of the valley, there are rolling hills everywhere. The trees on the ridge are lush and cover the entire field of vision, making the whole world look green.

If there's one thing that impresses people in Myanmar, it's the mountains and forests.

Between the mountains and the woods, the only thing that can be walked is a winding path. This trail is only two meters wide, but it is already the official road of Myanmar.

At this time, the dirt roads were crowded with noble private soldiers from India. Armed with scimitars and muskets on their backs, these soldiers marched slowly in a long line. The 200,000 army is like a swarm of boundless ants, with no head in front and no tail in the back.

The army was followed by a baggage team of more than 100,000 people, making the whole team even more immense.

Humayun walked right in the middle of the huge army.

Having lived in the cooler climates of Afghanistan and Persia for a long time, he was already a little uncomfortable with the hot and humid weather. Wiping the fine sweat on his head, Humayun said: "The mountains and forests of this Myanmar are so dense! ”

The Dutch envoy Weltermann followed Humayun and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, the denser this mountain and woods are, the better it will be for us. Li Zhi is best at firearms, but in the mountains and forests, Li Zhi's firearms cannot be deployed, and the war can only turn into a white-knuckle battle. ”

"Li Zhi only has 100,000 people, while we have 200,000. As long as war turns into a sword fight, victory will definitely belong to us. ”

Humayun had no expression on his face, he was an extremely quiet person. A man like him was not supposed to be a monarch, but his bloodline forced him to become an emperor who constantly demanded from the outside world. Now, he has to fight against Li Zhi, the most powerful in the world.

Humayun, however, thought he was going to win the battle.

Not only because the 200,000 Mughal army was twice as large as the Ming people, but also because the Mughals did not fight alone. Humayun was followed by the Dutch, who had drawn the Ming Jiangbei Army and Tsarist Russia into the war. In Humayun's view, Li Zhi is facing a three-way siege.

According to the intelligence provided by the Dutch, the Jiangbei army gathered 200,000 people, which Li Zhi was unable to stop at all.

What Humayun didn't know was that at this time, both the Russian Cossacks and the Jiangbei Army had been defeated by Li Zhi.

The bad news had reached Batavia, the Dutch. But the Dutch did not relay the news they had just received to Humayun.

The Dutch hoped that no matter what, there was a force that could slow down Li Zhi's expansion, otherwise Li Zhi would be about to fight Java and occupy Batavia for the Dutch.

And just looking at the comparison of forces in Myanmar, Humayun does have the upper hand.

The soldiers and horses brought out by Humayun were not Indians, but the private soldiers of the nobles of various Indian states, mostly Persians and Central Asians who were killed from Central Asia. These soldiers were all professional warriors, and their combat effectiveness was very impressive, and their ability to use swords was not inferior to that of Li Zhi's Japanese samurai.

Compared with the Yizi battalion from which the thieves were born, the combat effectiveness of these Central Asian professional soldiers is probably much higher.

In the dense forests of Southeast Asia, the role of muskets was extremely limited. Shooting at incoming enemies in a dense forest shaded by trees often misses due to the high speed of the target's movement. And once the two armies come into contact, the firearms will be completely useless. In the end, the result of the entanglement of the two armies can only be a white-knuckle melee.

So on a terrain like Myanmar, Humayun is sure of victory.

Welterman said loudly: "Your Majesty, as long as you defeat Li Zhi's 100,000 miscellaneous army, you are the master of India and Burma. ”

"We Dutch will continue to sell weapons to you so that the Mughal Empire can completely unify southern India. Then you will be the greatest conqueror in the world. ”

Hearing Weltman's words, Humayun couldn't help but laugh.

Even a man of his serene character could not help but be drawn to the bright prospects described by Weltmann. After many years of exile in Persia, Humayun thought that he would never return to India in his life, but he did not expect that he would return to Delhi within two years with advanced firearms. Now, he is marching towards Burma, which the Mughal Empire has never conquered.

Humayun said loudly: "Respected Dutch envoy, rest assured, our Mughal Empire will become the strongest fortress in the Indian Ocean, blocking Li Zhi's expansion to the east of India, and will never let Li Zhi take another step forward." ”

Welterman smiled and said, "God bless you, great Mughal emperor. ”

The troops kept moving forward, but they saw a few scouts running in front of them.

The scout passed through the checkpoints and rode directly in front of Humayun. Jumping off their horses, these scouts said to Humayun: "Your Majesty, a hundred miles ahead, the soldiers and horses of the Ming people have taken the initiative to attack us. ”

Humayun asked, "How many people are there in the Ming Kingdom?" ”

"The Ming people used all the soldiers and horses of Burma, probably more than 100,000 people."

Humayun was stunned.

More than 100,000 Ming people did not hide in the city to defend it, but attacked to meet the 200,000 troops of the Mughal Empire? Are the Ming people crazy?

He looked at Welterman.

Welterman thought for a while and said, "Li Zhi's general, Li Laosi, must have gone crazy under tremendous pressure. After five months of recuperation in the mountains of Burma, he finally realized that he had no way to hide, so he simply attacked and died. ”

Hu Mayun thought about it for a long time, and also felt that it was impossible for the Ming people to win.

The Mughal warriors of Central Asia conquered India and would eventually conquer Burma. Li Zhi's 100,000 miscellaneous army is no match at all.

After tomorrow's victory, Humayun was to turn all the Ming and Japanese soldiers into slaves of the Mughal Empire.

He raised his right hand high, pointed to the front and said, "The whole army advances, and strives to fight the battlefield tomorrow and fight the Ming people." ”

"After the victory, the land and population of Burma will be given to the soldiers who participated in the war."

Hearing Humayun's order, the surrounding Mughal generals looked at each other for a while, secretly saying that this was definitely a generous promise.

The heralds rode out and informed every soldier in the army of the Mughal's generous reward.

Hearing the roar of the herald, the soldiers from Central Asia were overjoyed. The most important thing these Indian conquerors craved was land and slaves. As long as they had these things, they could have children and grandchildren in the southern colonies without worrying about food and clothing.

A Mughal emperor who was generous and able to unite all the warriors of Central Asia was a great hero.

They raised their swords and shouted in unison: "Humayun! ”

"Humayun!"

"Humayun!"

The sound of a tsunami echoed back and forth among the mountains of Burma, resonating with deafening.
