Chapter 1099: Differentiation and Disintegration
In order to make trouble for the British, the Chinese Empire sent him over, and Celestial Shadow felt that he had to do something, even if he was dragged back by the Spaniards, even if this place would be handed over to the Spaniards in the future, Celestial Shadow and the Chinese Empire had to help them command, fight a war, maybe they could win, maybe they couldn't win, Celestial Shadow had already planned, no matter what, always let the British suffer, this Chinese Empire was very happy, and Celestial Shadow was also happy.
But at the same time happy is trouble, because the Spaniards are too ruthless, all the cards in his hand are rotten, there is no good hand, only one or two hundred mercenaries can be called elite, those clan armies in Bengal and the rebel British armies are brave, but they are brave and useless in the face of artillery fire, and they have to rely on dispatch and weapons, and the unorganized troops are a group of rabble.
In the face of such a group of people, Celestial Shadow could only try to gain their trust while installing the Spanish officers and intelligence officers and some Chinese Imperial soldiers brought by himself.
The remaining nearly 10,000 troops were unusable, and in the face of such a force, Sky Shadow could only organize them, and then guard all places, the port here, where Dhaka, and the battlefield seventy kilometers away from the British where they were now confronting the British, various military stations, and some people from small tribes, Sky Shadow directly released them to harass the Indian soldiers of the British who occupied everywhere.
Leading nearly 10,000 troops, Sky Shadow arrived at the main battlefield seventy kilometers away on the third day, where the British had reorganized, as many as 100,000 soldiers and horses had gathered on the battlefield, and it would not be long before they attacked, leaving 1,000 soldiers and horses here to help the 8,000 troops defend here, Sky Shadow took 7,000 troops around the battlefield and drove towards Dhaka, where it had been attacked by 30,000 Indian troops for a few days.
After sweeping the perimeter, the British led 30,000 troops to besiege Dhaka, and the 4,000 troops who stayed there were hard guards for three days, and they were close to collapse, and the Spanish warships went upstream, and they could only hold where they could hold with naval artillery support from the water, but many Bengali people fled there, and if the Spaniards didn't have 700 troops to defend them, even if they were mercenaries, they couldn't give up easily, Hundreds of army troops and a thousand newly recruited troops were sent to where they arrived on battleships, where to support the battle with naval guns, and more than a thousand troops were sent there.
They had drawn the forces of the port, which was not under the command of Celestial.
However, they don't know about Celestial's movements, and someone may tell them, but Celestial Shadow doesn't care, because he has already led the team to the outskirts of Dhaka, hidden in the mountains, and has no artillery, because they don't need to, the artillery is left on the perimeter defense line, where they are needed.
The Indians at the foot of the mountain were like crazy, burning all the villages and towns they could find, and killing almost all the people everywhere, and frantically attacked Dhaka, almost into the city.
While Celestial Shadow waited for them to get tired, the scouts kept reporting the Indians' whereabouts, and the Indians were almost all pouring into the city, and their camp in the rear was empty.
During the night, Celestial Shadow sent 3,000 troops to outflank the Indian camp, attacked where and successfully captured it, the Indians launched a peerless counterattack, and when they were counterattacking, Celestial Shadow took the remaining 4,000 troops to attack from the other side of the battlefield, and defeated them, three days later, completely annihilated them, and rescued the remaining Spanish mercenary troops outside Dhaka, and at this time the Spanish mercenary troops were almost 800 people left.
Armed with the remaining people with captured weapons, as well as newly formed and recruited soldiers, about two thousand people, the main force was still the mercenary troops of the Spaniards, Sky Shadow led them to attack the rear military stations of the Indians, attacking all the way, the British were fighting with the Spaniards on the battlefield, knowing that Dhaka had fallen, 30,000 Indian soldiers and horses and 1,000 mercenaries recruited by the British were defeated, panicked, and hurriedly sent a thousand regular troops, 50,000 soldiers and horses to advance towards Dhaka, trying to recapture Dhaka, But he didn't want to leave where Skyshadow had already left with his troops.
The British left 10,000 men to defend Dhaka, divided their troops into various towns, and sent troops to find the troops of the Celestial Shadow, and on the frontal battlefield, 10,000 Spanish troops held out for four days in the battle of Spanish mercenaries and warriors of various tribes, and then were defeated, 30,000 Indians died and 20,000 soldiers and horses survived, occupied the battlefield, and then the British sent all their regular troops to attack the port.
In the face of the attack of more than 30,000 troops of the British, the Spaniards were overstretched, and had to transfer the regular army on the battleship to deal with it, 2,000 regular troops, plus 500 mercenaries, more than 1,000 tribal warriors, and more than 2,000 defeated troops to defend the port.
Sky Shadow led his soldiers and horses through nearly 700 kilometers of no man's land, detoured to the rear of the British, leaving 2,000 troops to block the road, cut off the supply and communication lines of the British, and then appeared in the rear of the British soldiers and horses who were attacking the port.
More than 7,000 troops broke through the three British blocking lines in succession, compressed the British to an area of more than ten kilometers around the port, and then divided 4,000 troops to attract the attention of the British, 3,000 troops with captured artillery, and suddenly attacked the British camp in the middle of the night.
Celestial Shadow pursued them for two days, and finally defeated the British army in a swamp, capturing more than 2,000 British regular troops and more than 8,000 Indian soldiers and horses.
Without the command of the British, the Indians could not defend the line, and in less than a week, more than 10,000 Indians surrendered, more than 3,000 Indians fled, and 4,500 Indians were killed.
The Spanish army was also consumed by more than 2,000 troops, the mercenary troops lost less than 300 men, the regular army lost more than 1,000 men, and the Spanish forces were reduced to less than 3,000 troops, and half were wounded.
After reorganizing the soldiers and horses, Tianying returned to Dhaka with 12,000 troops, almost marching all the way, nearly 50,000 Indian soldiers and horses on the way, and more than 1,000 British regular troops were either defeated, captured, or surrendered, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, more than 12,000 troops scattered the British soldiers and horses on land, killed, and captured, and it took about half a month to clean up the British offensive forces scattered in Bengal.
Captured more than 2,100 British regular troops, killed more than 900 people, scattered more than 800 people, captured 43,000 Indians, killed 31,000 soldiers and horses, and scattered more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, the indigenous tribes of the entire Bengal region bravely killed and wounded 23,000 people, captured more than 4,000 people, scattered more than 20,000 people, and killed 110,000 civilians, the Indians and the British almost cleaned up most of the population of Bengal, killed all the scattered tribal populations, and almost solved all the indigenous populations of Bengal for the Chinese Empire.
Spain also did not give in, organized mercenaries and large tribes to start revenge, those tribes and natives who turned against the British and Indians immediately when they came suffered a disaster, a revenge that did not need to be more cruel by the British and Indians took a month and a half to end, and 90% of the Bengali tribes perished, these are the indigenous Indians, the original dynasties of the Bengal region, and the descendants of the Han people who immigrated here, as well as the remnants of the Duge rebels, and some tribes that were originally enemies were also avenged against each other and perished.
Sky Shadow sat in the governor's palace in the port, he knew what the Spaniards were doing, but he never stopped it, this kind of thing for the Spaniards and those tribes to do, it was much better than the Huaxia Empire to do it, anyway, the Huaxia Empire would have to clean up at that time, and now the Huaxia Empire has no place to use troops, and there is no need to organize cannon fodder to fight with the enemy, or let the other party kill each other, the Huaxia Empire has reformed itself.
The Spaniards were furious, their warships lost five thousand-ton warships, which were attacked by the British at sea, and lost fifteen captured merchant ships and three hundred tons of warships, and when they went up the river to help Dhaka, they were wounded and destroyed by the artillery fire of the British ambush on land, and the three hundred men lost by their regular army died in this way, the sailors died more than five hundred, and the mercenaries of more than seventeen hundred were almost completely annihilated, and more than five hundred remained.
The regular army had lost more than 1,000 casualties on the battlefield and in the defense of Dhaka and the port, and now it can only use more than 1,700 people, and even if those wounded are healed, his 5,000 regular army can only use more than 2,300 people, which means that they have lost more than half of the troops they brought from the West this time, and also a tenth of the sailors.
The Spaniards were furious, their regular army and mercenaries organized, and then took those tribes to find trouble with the Indians and rebels and betrayed tribes in Bengal, a few people died or were wounded every day, and it took a month and a half to basically clear up, the Spaniards still had the intention of expanding the war, but they didn't need the Shadow of the Sky, the regular army of the British was almost all wiped out, and there were not many British troops left in the hands of the British governor, and the Indians who remained were probably afraid, and it was impossible to be drafted in large numbers to fight them.
So they marched to New Delhi, and although they were attacked by stragglers on the way, they conquered a number of areas.
It caused a lot of trouble and panic to the British rule in this area, many Indians dragged their families and moved to the British-controlled areas, almost all the Indian tribes and princes within a few hundred miles around Bengal ran away, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who could not escape, and the Spaniards ignored these, burning, killing and looting the past, almost creating a no-man's land.
On land, thanks to the help of the Celestial Shadow, the Spaniards came back from defeat and gained the upper hand and the initiative, and the British again sent men to negotiate reconciliation and the ransom of the captives.
