1327 Wei Wei is not to save Zhao

If Aurangzeb arrives in Delhi in time and defends Delhi with his ingenuity, then, when Shah Jahan returns, he will have made a great contribution and the heir to the throne will be ironclad.

Thinking like this, Aurangzeb became more and more anxious, and even disliked the slow pace of the infantry, so he led the cavalry directly away.

The brocade guards who were lurking along the way saw Aurangzeb leading the cavalry speeding by, and immediately reported the situation through the chat group. So, the Ming army on the Goan side was dispatched. Since the army of the Mughal Empire is here, and this is not a toilet, how can it be that they can come and leave when they want?

Not to mention how the mixed army of the Ming army on the Goan side of the horse and foot army ravaged the infantry army left behind by Aurangzeb. Let's just say that on the side of Dhaka, Bangladesh, the army led by Shah Jahan is outnumbered and the progress of the work is fast, and it has already attacked the city once, but the result made Shah Jahan have a gloomy face.

Although the Ming army showing its face on the head of the city, as he estimated, did not increase much, it should be that the Ming army in the city has limited strength. However, the artillery of the Ming army greatly exceeded his expectations.

Although there was also artillery in the Mughal army, he had never seen any artillery that could hit farther and more accurately than the artillery of the Ming army! The siege equipment that he had finally built and his elephant army were crushed by the artillery of the Ming army at the head of the city before they could reach the city. Especially after the elephant was injured, it was not controlled at all, and many of his soldiers were trampled to death, causing chaos, leading to the first siege of the city, which ended without a problem.

Shah Jahan is not an incompetent person, and the result of the first battle made him realize that this time the battle against Dhaka may not be as smooth as he imagined. The arrogance of the Ming army has a certain capital. The advantage of artillery is very helpful for defending the city, which makes him a headache.

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately ordered the auxiliaries and servants to dig a trench, and from the trench close to the city wall, the power of the artillery could be greatly weakened.

So, under the city of Dhaka, it immediately became hot. The Mughal Empire's army, with its large numbers, dug bare-chested just out of the range of artillery. But seriously, the range of the artillery is long enough, and it will take a lot of time to dig to this side of the moat, even if the Mughal army can rely on the cover of night and get closer to dig again, it will take a lot of time.

Ordinary people may not feel like it, anyway, sooner or later they will dig it up. But for Shah Jahan, he is anxious, if the war in Dhaka drags on for a long time, the more men and horses he brings, the greater the pressure on logistics. The most important thing is that the Ming army is strong and clear, and there is no supply in Bengal at all, and it must be transported from its own territory, which is really very consuming of national strength.

But since you're here, you must knock Dhaka down. Shah Jahan was ruthless in his heart and personally supervised the process of digging the trench much faster.

On this day, seeing that the trench was about to be dug near the moat, Shah Jahan finally looked a little better. When his subordinates saw it, they were all relieved, a lot more relaxed, and they all patted their ass.

"The Great Khan is really wise, just digging a trench with a simple move, he can easily break the artillery of the Ming army, so that no matter how powerful the artillery of the Ming army is, there is no place for it, it is really powerful!"

"Nonsense, the Great Khan is wise and powerful, and who is the opponent of the Great Khan in the world. Don't say it's just Dhaka, the Great Khan is a pro-conquest, you look at it well, and you will be able to hit Dongwu soon! ”

“……”

Hearing these words, Shah Jahan was also in a good mood, and said lightly: "Don't say too much, go back and prepare." Ben Khan will give you more time to prepare, and in three days, launch a general attack and take Dhaka! ”

Hearing this, the generals below were all happy, and they all said that they must be the first to attack the city. What do you say about hand-to-hand combat, the Ming army is scum or something like that. It's as if the Ming army has no artillery to rely on, and it will definitely have no strength to fight back.

Just when they were happy, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the big tent, and the leader of Shah Jahan's personal guard hurriedly came in and said in a panic: "Great Khan, it's not good, the Ming army has landed by sea, and now it is about to attack Delhi, please come back as soon as possible!" ”

"What?" The faint smile on Shah Jahan's face was thrown to Java in an instant, and he couldn't even sit still, so he stood up suddenly, leaned forward, and asked sharply, "What's the matter, how is this possible?" ”

The leader of the cronies immediately stepped forward and presented an urgent official document.

Inside the big tent, there was silence, and all the people of the Mughal Empire were dumbfounded. The main forces are outside, but the Ming army suddenly appeared in the hinterland of the empire, wouldn't it be equivalent to a knife directly inserted into the heart!

Shah Jahan tore it open and looked at it after a few clicks, and some sharp-eyed people saw that Shah Jahan's hand holding the letter paper trembled slightly, as if he had the kind of disease that old people often have. Seeing this, these sharp-eyed people felt bad in their hearts, even the wise Shah Jahan was afraid of being like this, didn't that mean that there were many Ming troops attacking the hinterland of the empire, and Delhi was about to be lost?

Shah Jahan finished reading it once, and seemed to be watching it a second time, but he didn't speak anyway. His appearance made everyone worried, if Delhi loses, then his family and wealth are there, so what can he do?

They were in a hurry, and even a few of them were about to move, and the worry on their faces seemed to be trying to persuade Shah Jahan to go back quickly.

But at this moment, Shah Jahan's face suddenly returned to normal, and even showed a little indifference, he tore the letter in his hand casually, and said while tearing it: "It really scared Ben Khan, it turned out that it was only two or three thousand Ming troops, and it was ridiculous to want to transfer the army back with this little force!" ”

The letter paper in his hand had been torn to shreds and continued to be torn, but Shah Jahan's gaze swept over everyone below, and he said coldly: "The Ming army made this move, which means that they are worried that Dhaka will be captured by our army, and they want our army to return to help immediately." If you really withdraw immediately, you will have fallen into their ploy! There are only two or three thousand Ming troops, and they will not be able to defeat Delhi, and it is uncertain that they will be defeated by the local armies. ”

At this time, the letter in his hand was torn to the point that it could no longer be broken, but he did not throw it away, but squeezed it tightly in his hand, and announced loudly: "Spread Ben Khan's will, early tomorrow morning, launch a general attack on Dhaka, the first to climb the city, Ben Khan will be rewarded, and will never break his word!" ”

When someone with a careful heart heard this, they immediately felt that something was wrong. Didn't the Great Khan just say that he should be well prepared and set to attack again in three days? Why did you say that you will have to attack early tomorrow morning, not to mention that the trench has not been dug in place, even if the preparation time is not enough! Don't...... Could it be that the Great Khan was afraid that Delhi would lose?

Although a few people guessed that this was the case, they did not dare to pierce this layer of paper, in case the Great Khan was angry, they could not bear the wrath of the Great Khan. When these men came out of the camp, they found that the messenger who had come to tell the news was gone, and they felt even more uncomfortable. But there is no way, I can only prepare with a heavy heart, hoping that there will be fewer casualties tomorrow morning, and I can return to help as soon as possible after calling the card.

Early the next morning, but by the time the sun had just risen, the Mughal army had already eaten and was arrayed out of artillery range, ready to enter the trenches and attack Dhaka.

Except for his two panda-eyed eyes, Shah Jahan looked as usual, riding a tall horse to inspect the army in front of the battle.

This general offensive must be successful. Only by taking Dhaka in one fell swoop can he lead the army back to help, otherwise the 100,000 troops brought out will probably suffer heavy losses under panic. After all, the families of this elite army are basically from Delhi or nearby. The landing of more than 10,000 Ming troops from the sea to attack Delhi was really unexpected, and with Delhi's current strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold out for long.

Shah Jahan thought so in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel very bitter. If he had known that this was the case, the army should have set off later, so that the Ming army would have passed by sea, and he would have no return!

After thinking for a while, Shah Jahan looked up at the position of the sun and felt that he could not delay any longer, so he planned to do a few calculations to boost morale and neutralize the blow caused by the first siege.

Inhaling in his chest, Shah Jahan was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. When Shah Jahan was about to start speaking, everyone did not dare to talk privately, and the scene was still very quiet. Because of this, the sound of horses' hooves came from this hurry was exceptionally clear, and it also attracted everyone's attention, including Shah Jahan.

I saw a gallop in the distance, carrying a banner on his back, showing that he was a messenger of 100,000 urgency. Looking at this, it is okay if the soldiers below don't know it, and those civil and military generals are stunned in their hearts, they are 100,000 urgent messengers, and nine times out of ten are news about the Ming army in the hinterland of the empire, and it is definitely not good news!

Shah Jahan was also very worried in his heart, he knew how many Ming troops had invaded the hinterland of the empire, but, no matter what, now that the war was about to break out, it could be said that the arrow was ready to be sent out. Since he has decided to take Dhaka first and then return to his division, he must hold on until the end of this battle.

Thinking so, Shah Jahan made up his mind. Seeing that he had a cold face, he first swept the civil and military generals who were following him, and then watched the messenger gallop in front of him, and without waiting for the messenger to speak, he took the lead and shouted: "Isn't it that the Ming army is going to attack Delhi, this matter, Ben Khan already knows about it, there is no need to report it again, you go down and rest!" ”

As soon as his guards heard this, they immediately stepped forward and prepared to "support" the messenger to leave.

But who knows, the messenger refused to leave, but loudly announced: "The Great Khan, not only the Ming army, but also the Gushi Khan of Tibet, also led the army to attack Delhi, and now the Ming army is attacking from the north to the south, Delhi is in danger, please ask the Great Khan to hurry back to help, otherwise Delhi will not be protected!" ”

As soon as the anxious shout came out, everyone was stunned, even Shah Jahan was no exception.

The Ming army's attack on Delhi had already worried him. However, in order not to make this trip useless, in order to cut off the troubles on the Bengal side, and in order to avoid the problems that may be encountered when withdrawing troops, Shah Jahan became an actor and concealed the news.

But who knows, the seriousness of the matter is far beyond his expectations. Even if he calculated, it was impossible to calculate that Gushi Khan would come down from Tibet to fight Delhi at this time. And listening to this message, Gushi Khan is still in a group with the Ming army. The remaining army in Delhi was already difficult to hold on to the Ming army's attack. Coupled with Gushi Khan's stab in the back, Delhi is basically not protected.

Delhi was the capital of the Empire, his lair, and the home of all his men. If the lair is ended, the empire is likely to fall apart. This consequence is unbearable for Shah Jahan.

Although the battle against Dhaka is imminent, it must be withdrawn. After all, the preparations for Dhaka's offensive were a bit hasty, and Shah Jahan was actually not sure whether he could fight in one fight. Moreover, the Ming army cooperated so well with Gushi Khan, attacking Delhi when the army was on the march, which gave him another intuition that the Ming army was premeditated.

In this case, this Dhaka city must have been prepared to lead a large army to attack, and the possibility of being able to take it at one time is even lower.

Thinking so, Shah Jahan was also decisive, and immediately issued an order, immediately returned to the division, immediately rescued Delhi, and defeated the Ming army and Gushi Khan who attacked Delhi.

At the head of Dhaka City, through the telescope, Min Hongxue and others saw Shah Jahan and their actions, and said with great regret: "It seems that the news has come over, it's a pity, let the Mughal army attack the city again, consume more troops, and it will be much easier to turn back." ”

Hearing Min Hongxue say this, Ma Xianglin put down the binoculars and immediately replied loudly: "Elder Ge rest assured, with their morale at this time, they are in a hurry to rush back to the rescue, and the end will follow after them, and they will definitely be able to kill them so that they regret not daring to attack!" ”

Zhang Fengyi heard it on the side, and couldn't help but glance at her husband, and then picked up her husband's words and said: "What my husband means, everything is subject to the orders of the elder pavilion, even if the Mughal army is elite, my husband has the confidence to defeat them!" ”

Min Hongxue listened to it and said with a smile: "General Ma's bravery, the old man still knows." After Shah Jahan led the cavalry to break away and the Jinyi Guards sent the news back, General Ma was ready to act. ”

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he was very happy, and immediately clenched his fists and responded loudly: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

Shah Jahan wanted to rescue Delhi, so it was naturally impossible to lead the army back slowly. Therefore, after he left with the cavalry, after the confirmation of the Jinyi Wei secret agent, Ma Xianglin led the cavalry to harass and attack the panicked Mughal Empire infantry army, while Zhang Fengyi led the infantry to catch up.

This was an unequal battle, before Zhang Fengyi's infantry army caught up, after being harassed by Ma Xianglin's cavalry for a day, the Mughal Empire's infantry army, first the people collapsed and fled, then the auxiliary soldiers, and finally the whole army collapsed.

In this regard, Ma Xianglin was very annoyed, he felt that he was holding back a lot of strength, looked at the opponent's flaws, and was about to punch over, but the opponent fell by himself.

When Min Hongxue heard the news, he couldn't help but brush his beard and smile, and then he said to himself: "Next, it's up to the second step of Wei Wei!" ”
