The army heading north snowballed and grew larger as it marched toward the Delhi region.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin has been holding back the speed of the march...... He was a little surprised by the Delhi Sultan's reflex ability, so far, the other party has not even organized a large-scale blockade!

He would rather understand the other party's behavior as if they had been holding back their big moves, rather than think that the other party was a big fool and reacted extremely slowly!

The scouts of the Marbury army he sent could reconnoiter as far as fifty kilometers ahead...... But so far, the opposing side has still not organized an effective blocking line.

It wasn't until a Brahmin high caste came to him personally to report to him the situation in the northern regions that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hehe...... It turned out that the nobles of the Sultan of Delhi were already in a hurry.

The Marines led by Major Du and Marbury's army had already made a fuss around the Delhi area!

They rampaged through the Tianzhu River Valley, as if they had entered a no-man's land.

Earlier, shortly after the Delhi Sultan had sent a large army south, riots began again in some remote places...... Although the scale is not large, there are many places where the riots took place.

This is actually the norm, since the establishment of the Delhi Sultan, such things have happened every year, but this year there are more places...... In order to subjugate the southern regions, they did levy some extra taxes.

The nobles of the Delhi Sultan didn't care at first, and the solution to the riots was simple, just send the regular army to suppress it.

Sure enough, the peasants' troubles did not make a climate, and some important areas were quickly pacified.

However, it was not long before the Sultan of Delhi and many of the nobles encountered something that had not happened in thousands of years.

First, they did not expect that the enemy in the southern region would counterattack, and they actually entered the Tianzhu River from the sea and landed directly on the riverbank!

Second, they didn't expect that the elite army they sent would be defeated, and almost all of them would be wiped out!

The point is that the army of the Marbury Kingdom will still counterattack from the south to the north!

There has never been an attack from the southern region to the northern region in the Tianzhu region...... The Sultan of Delhi has always focused on defending the north.

In fact, Chairman Wu Dapeng dared to expand the scale of the war not because of self-confidence, but because he had long fully understood the innate characteristics of the Indian plate.

Surrounded by high mountains, the Indian Tectonic Plate was originally a difficult place for foreign peoples to enter.

To the east of the entire plate is the Rakhine Mountains, with an average altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and the Burmese and Dai ethnic groups on the other side of the mountains are not particularly aggressive ethnic groups, and pose little threat to the Indian plate.

As for the Himalayas in the north, which reaches a length of 2,400 kilometers and an average altitude of more than 7,000 meters, and north of the mountains is the Tibetan Plateau, which poses no threat.

The Hindu Kush Mountains in the northwest, with an average altitude of about 5,000 meters, are also insurmountable mountains as a continuation of the Himalayas and raised after the collision of continents.

To the west is the Suleymani Mountains, which average more than 3,000 meters above sea level in the north and around 1,500 meters in the south.

On the surface, foreign peoples can cross the Suleiman Mountains into the Indus Valley, but in fact, the Suleiman Mountains are more than 400 kilometers wide from east to west, and although the altitude in the south is low, there are many desert areas in the mountains, which are almost no man's land, so the southern part of the Suleiman Mountains is also impassable.

The only entrance to the Indian plate is in the valleys of the Hindu Kush and Suleymannes!

That valley forms the Kabul Valley...... The Kabul River is a tributary of the Indus River, which travels eastward to the Indus Valley.

The Kabul River valley is only about 600 meters wide at the narrowest point of the Khyber Mountains, including the river, so it is called the Khyber Pass.

The cliffs on both sides are impassable without the help of pontoon bridges and other tools.

If a certain ethnic group of the Indian plate could build a fortress on the Khyber Pass, it would be a place where no one could open it, similar to the Hangu Pass of the Qin State during the Warring States Period.

Just as Su Qin commented on Hangu Pass and Guanzhong: "Li Zedong goes out of Hangu, and if it is unfavorable, it enters the Guanzhong, and this king's land is also." ”

This is also used in the Khyber Pass, when the Indus Valley and the Ganges Valley are strong, they can go out of the Khyber Pass to attack West Asia, Iran and Central Asia Turkmenistan, even if the internal depression can still hold the Khyber Pass, to ensure that the outside world cannot invade.

If according to the practice of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, not only will the Khyber Pass be built, but also the Great Wall will be built on both sides, and the Great Wall will be crossed to control part of the mountainous area, then it is the safest way.

Chairman Wu Dapeng plans to build the Khyber Pass Fortress as soon as he conquers the northern part of India...... In this way, he can integrate the resources of the whole of India with peace of mind.

But the strange thing is that no nation has ever built a fortress here on the Indian plate, nor has any nation built the Great Wall, and the Indian plate has been invaded by foreign nations several times in history, and the land is entered from the Khyber Pass!

The Aryans, Persians, Macedonians, Gazidas, and Turks all crossed the Khyber Pass one after another to rule the Indus Valley!

Delhi is located on the upper reaches of the Ganges River, close to the Indus Valley, and the Turkic Delhi Sultanate apparently wanted to unify the two river basins.

But this place is also the place that President Wu Dapeng has his eye on.

If the Sultan of Delhi does not invade the country of Maburi first, President Wu Dapeng may be relieved to develop for a while, waiting for a better opportunity to drive out the Sultan nobles of Delhi...... In his eyes, those guys will only destroy, not build.

However, the other party made the first move, such a good opportunity, even if he is not fully prepared, he will beat Delhi Sultan!

Chairman Wu Dapeng believes that even if the army of the Federal Empire is defeated, it will be able to retreat in its entirety!

Caught in the ocean of the people's war?

That's nonsense...... The Sultans of Delhi had a bad reputation, but they met a people who would always resign themselves to their fate if they were not forced to do so.

Beat them up severely, and the Delhi Sultan, who was powerful in appearance, was suddenly exposed!

This is one of the reasons why everyone should be afraid of the idea of twenty years.

The people who were oppressed by the Sultan of Delhi saw nothing more than that...... President Wu Dapeng will not believe that they will accept their fate!

This is the basic common sense of human nature......

The Sultan of Delhi had to deal with the growing peasant unrest on the one hand, and the enemy who was far more terrible than them, coming from the sea and from the river...... What's more, there's the Marbury army that is advancing north, and they're the ones who have defeated an army of 80,000!

The whole city of Derry was thrown into chaos, and the heralds kept running in and out...... The entire military town in the north was also in chaos, and they did not expect that the real danger would come from the sea, from the south!

Major Du didn't look like he had a team of less than 3,000 men, but after he landed at the mouth of the river somewhere on the western coast of the north, it was like a sharp sword stabbing directly into the weak underbelly of the Delhi Sultan!

His troops met little resistance in the western part of the Delhi area.

And the two-masted sea vessels he brought with him could explore slowly in the river...... Due to the suddenness of the incident, the Imperial Navy did not have time to figure out the hydrological situation of the entire Tianzhu River...... President Wu Dapeng also did not provide them with any information.

Chairman Wu Dapeng could only apologize at that time, the Indus River is one of the rivers in the world that changes every year, and he could not find clear hydrological data...... They can only be told to make the most of the river resources there...... Fortunately, at this time, the shipbuilding capacity of the Tianzhu region was extremely low, and even river boats could not be compared with the Federal Empire at all, and the shipbuilding technology of the Great Song Dynasty could throw them a few streets away.
