Shortly after the victory over Charlie, supplies from the base camp finally arrived.

On the same day, Wu Mengfei got another piece of good news, and the news came from Jemalpur.

At that time, Wu Mengfei was inspecting the supply of ammunition in the camp of the 19th Infantry Division.

The camp of the 19th Division was stationed by a small river, and because of the arrival of Wu Mengfei, the soldiers in the camp were concentrated near the camp gate. Thousands of soldiers sat on the ground according to the organization of each unit, and as far as the eye could see, the ground was covered with navy blue uniforms. The soldiers had already received bullets and grenades, and they were listening to Wu Mengfei's teachings.

Wu Mengfei stood in front of the team and chatted wittily as usual. He was dressed in a dark green woolen general's uniform, a pair of long riding boots on his legs, and a circle of golden silk tassels hanging from his shoulders. This commander is as serious as a cold machine when he is practicing and fighting, but when he is on a more relaxed occasion, he talks and laughs freely, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. As usual, Wu Mengfei said, and digressed as he spoke, talking about Wang Xuance's three battles against Tianzhu. The story of Wang Xuance's victory over Tianzhu in the Tang Dynasty of China is vividly told, and the generals below laughed.

"Wang Xuance rode 30 horsemen to the envoy, 8,000 horsemen to break the enemy, and the India that fought only recognized one word, what word, the word "service". Now that you have followed someone from my left to India, you have to give Lao Tzu a male up. Our Chinese ancestors were good men, and the younger generations should not be a bad seed,......。 Wu Mengfei was talking about Xingtou, and a guard came to report, and Laszlo asked to see him.

Laszlo's wrinkled face smiled as brightly as the local sun. Seeing Wu Mengfei, he quickly greeted him and said loudly: "General, great joy!" Exultation! ”

For the Bengali language, Wu Mengfei only knew one or two words, which happened to be the two words that Laszlo spoke. Seeing Laszlo's excited expression, people who didn't know thought that he had married a new daughter-in-law. After Wu Mengfei heard the translator, he knew where the joy came from.

It turned out that the 77th Division of Bai Tangzheng's 27th Army had captured Jemalpur three days earlier.

The person who sent the message back was a Bengali who did not know exactly which squadron* it was. The reason why Wu Mengfei thinks it is the twenty-seventh team. It was this man who told the story of the flag of the army, and said that the color of the flag was a blue black dragon.

Sure enough, two days later, the messenger of the 77th Division of the 27th Army came. This messenger not only brought detailed information about the 77th Division, but also news that the Northern Road Emperor* team led by Wang Dayong had captured Rajshahi. Speaking of which, Wang Dayong was also eager to fight, and even disobeyed the orders of the War Department after capturing Siliguri, just let 10,000 squadrons guard in Darjeeling, and led the Northern Route Army to kill Rajshahi directly. This way, the king bravely rushed and struck. The Gurkha people in the team are also brave and good at fighting, and no one can resist Rajshahi when they kill him. It's just that the ammunition of the soldiers in the two towns under Wang Dayong has already been exhausted, and they carried a big knife with Wang Dayong. Fortunately, the nearby British army had already been transferred by Colonel Charlie of the British Army to fight Wu Mengfei's troops, otherwise Wang Dayong might not be able to defeat Rajshahi.

After getting these latest conditions, Wu Mengfei immediately sent Bai Tangzheng detailed information on his side and invited the 27th Army to jointly attack Dhaka.

When the news was sent, Wu Mengfei began to raise food locally. But in the midst of the local war, food can be bought there.

Laszlo was of great help to this problem, as Laszlo's family had hoarded a large amount of grain and grass on a manor outside the city. Laszlo sent most of them to the army as food. Laszlo also gave ox carts, wagons, and elephants to the army to tow captured British artillery.

With the grain and grass financed by Laszlo and supplies from the base camp, Wu Mengfei decided to continue the attack.

The 26th, 7th, and 8th armies marched towards Dhaka almost simultaneously, and the three armies attacked the city along the way, and no one could stop them.

On May 20, 1841, the Three Route armies converged at a small town called Dongi, 50 kilometers outside Dhaka.

By this time, the British troops stationed in Dhaka had been greatly strengthened, and the British troops withdrawn from the front line had also entered the city of Dhaka. They built a defensive ring along the north bank of the Ganges River with Dhaka as the center.

At this time, the Imperial Coalition gathered an army of 136,000 men in Dongji. The British army gathered 150,000 troops throughout the Dhaka area, and these troops were not all in the city, they had 100,000 men scattered on both flanks of the city of Dhaka.

Bai Tangzheng, as the highest-ranking general in the squadron, naturally became the commander of this coalition army.

The day of the confluence of the armies. Bai Tangzheng immediately convened a military meeting. As an army. There is a lot of work to be done in order to achieve the unified action of hundreds of thousands of troops. Bai Tangzheng arranged these tasks one by one at the meeting.

Faced with the shortage of food, Bai Tangzheng sent a team of cavalry to the rear to escort supplies. While sending locals to the vicinity to buy, Bai Tangzheng decided to attack as soon as possible.

The commander of the British garrison in Dhaka was Kwok Fu, a native Englishman, born in Ireland, who fought in the wars against Napoleon from the Duke of Wellington in Portugal and Spain from 1809. In 1815 he was knighted for merit. In 1830 he was promoted to major general. In 1837, he was stationed in India and served as the commander of the British Army. Facing the endless Imperial Coalition military camp outside the city, he was stunned. The previous defeats had left a huge shadow in the minds of the British army, and now in the face of this powerful army, he felt inexplicably helpless in his heart.

Now that this group of Chinese had occupied Malacca and Singapore and then arrived under the city of Dhaka, Kwok Fucha was worried about the situation of the war and had a passion for her majesty Queen Victoria.

At the same time that the three armies converged outside the city of Dhaka, the main force of the Emperor reached Kumila.

Kumira is a tiny town 100 kilometres east of Dhaka. It was noon when the main force of the Imperial coalition arrived, the weather was humid and hot, the walls of the town had collapsed due to the monsoon, and the British fled in a hurry before the coalition arrived. The surrounding Bengalis were panicked by the army, and they all took refuge in their houses. Sneaking in from the crack in the earthen wall.

Under the worried gaze of the Bengalis, the Chinese soldiers were busy in an orderly manner. They set up camp outside the town. While sending people to search the town.

This army was the main force of the coalition led by Shao Wen himself, and he led a group of coalition officers to walk on a somewhat rugged hillside, a high ground outside the city. The general's guards searched the vicinity of the high ground, and after confirming that it was safe, they put the neighborhood on guard. After a little effort, the officers rode up to the heights.

Li Xiucheng, a young officer in the ranks, respectfully reported to Shao Wen: "Commander, General Nushan of Burma has come to report that he has recovered the land occupied by the British in Burma. We are now on our way to Kumira, and it will take about five days to arrive. ”

Shao Wen nodded slightly and asked, "Has General Huang sent a letter?" ”

"Back to the commander, General Huang has now conquered most of the towns east of Kumira according to the orders of the coalition command, and after receiving the messenger from the general, General Huang sent an infantry division to capture Chittagong, and the rest of the people are rushing to Kumira to join the general."

"Have you got in touch with Wu Mengfei?"

"The troops left behind in Kohima reported that General Wu and General Bai had been contacted, and General Wang also led his troops into the Ganges Plain."

2 km outside of Dhaka.

The timber and brick fort was one of the military strongholds that Guo Fucha had placed outside the city, and it was one of more than a dozen forts outside the city. The British soldiers leaned out half of the top of the fort, and a red line appeared on the whole fort, and these soldiers watched cautiously at the black and oppressive squadron not far away. The two sides confronted each other outside Dhaka.

From the early morning of May 21, the Ganges Plain was filled with gunfire and gunsmoke. The battle between China and Britain began in Dhaka. The British artillery captured by the Coalition along the way has now become the main weapon of the Coalition in destroying British fortifications. Judging from the direction of the attack of the Medium * team, their first goal was to uproot the British stronghold outside the city. At this moment, these strongholds were under heavy shelling, and at the same time, the artillery of the British troops returning fire continued to fire from the fortress.

Except for the artillery fire, the infantry on both sides had not yet started a decisive battle. And the artillery attack was also limited to the battlefield on the left. Relative to the entire battle of Dhaka, too many places on the kilometer-long front remained quiet
