Chapter 1062: Encircling and Annihilating the British Army (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Akbar, I'm curious to know how you have the audacity to stage a coup d'état, it's not your character. Tens of thousands of British troops led by General Ross were marching towards Kabul. Once he arrives in Kabul, you're done! "Dost. Muhammad Khan asked. In his impression, Prince Akbar was a very cautious person, and he should not do such a risky thing.

"British? By the time they arrived in Kabul, it would be their end! When the time comes, the Chinese * army will get rid of them! Prince Akbar said disdainfully. Although Britain is powerful, it is far from being able to cope with the Afghan royal palace. However, with the support of the Chinese Empire, he naturally did not have to fear the British.

"Chinese? Are you colluding with the Chinese? Did the Chinese give you the ambition to stage a coup d'état? "Dost. Muhammad Khan asked in a deep voice. If that's the case, then you'll be able to figure it out.

"Father, I warned you a long time ago that your foreign policy is a failure. The Kingdom of Afghanistan is too weak for us to be an enemy of the Chinese Empire. Only by relying on the Chinese Empire can we develop and become strong. The Chinese Empire has promised to support me in destroying the Kingdom of Persia when I become the emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. If you have the chance, you will even support me as a caliph! You will soon see that the mighty kingdom of Afghanistan was born under my rule! I will bring happiness to all Afghans. "Prince Akbar was incredibly convinced of his choice.

"No, Akbar, you're playing with the tiger. The greed of the Chinese. The whole world knows it. They will eventually swallow the whole of Afghanistan and you will become a sinner in Afghanistan! "Dost. Muhammad Khan roared angrily.

Prince Akbar shook his head: "The kingdom of Afghanistan is too barren. The Chinese will not look at the Kingdom of Afghanistan. All they need is an agent of the Muslim world. I'm more than willing to act as a proxy for that. In this case, it will also be very beneficial to the Kingdom of Afghanistan! ”

Prince Akbar knows deeply that a small country like Afghanistan cannot confront a big country, and if it wants to develop better, it must rely on a big country. The Chinese Empire, on the other hand, is the only reliance of the Kingdom of Afghanistan.

Of course, Prince Akbar also knew that if he wanted the Chinese Empire to continue to support him, then. He had to show his role. Otherwise, why would the Chinese Empire support him? As long as he is a lackey of the Chinese Empire, then his throne will be secured.

Dost. Muhammad Khan saw that Prince Akbar had made up his mind, so he had to say no more. He knew that it was too late to say anything, and there was no way to change Prince Akbar's mind.

"Well, Akbar, since you have to. I can't stop that. However, I hope that after you become the emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, you will be kind to Sher. Ali. You are brothers, after all! "Dost. Muhammad Khan said.

"Haha! Father. You can't be so naïve, right? Shea. When did Ali think of me as his eldest brother, he had always been bent on taking the throne that belonged to me. And I, now succeeded. I will never let this threat continue. Prince Akbar laughed, but. The murderous intent on his face was unreservedly revealed.

"No, big brother. You can't kill me. Father, you help me intercede, I don't want to die. "Shel. Prince Ali howled in fright.

"Your Royal Highness, time is running out! Let's do it! The British were soon to Kabul. When the time comes, you will need to hold the British back for a while! Colonel Niu Zhiyang walked in.

"Yes, General Niu!" Prince Akbar was as obedient as a dog.

Dost. Muhammad Khan stared at Colonel Niu Zhiyang, his eyes full of anger, in his opinion, if it were not for these damned Chinese who provoked and inspired Prince Akbar's ambitions, how could Prince Akbar do such a thing as a coup d'état?

"Damn Chinese, Allah will not let you go!" Dost. Muhammad Khan roared angrily.

A hint of disgust flashed in Prince Akbar's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a group of wolf-like soldiers rushed forward and took Dost. Muhammad Khan and Sher. Prince Ali was arrested.

Dost. Muhammad Khan was the father of Prince Akbar, and although he staged a coup d'état, he was not yet to the point where he had to kill his father. So, Dost. Muhammad Khan was placed under house arrest. And Schelle. Prince Ali was directly executed. And it wasn't just him who was put to death, Schel. Prince Ali's wife and children, as well as his loyal ministers and generals, were all put to death.

The coup d'état was inherently bloody. Prince Akbar staged a coup d'état, so naturally he would not leave himself a threat anymore.

By the time the sun rose, Kabul had already changed owners. Prince Akbar announced that Emir Dost. Muhammad Khan thought that the health of the body was no longer able to perform the duties of the emir. Therefore, it was up to him to serve as the emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. The vast majority of the troops who were disarmed during the coup also surrendered. Only a very small number of die-hard loyalists were executed.

After seizing the rule of Khambul, Prince Akbar, as he should now call him, ordered a state of emergency throughout Kabul. The army began to build fortifications outside and inside Kabul, preparing to defend against the oncoming British* army. Buy time for the arrival of Chinese * troops in Kabul.

After the defeat in the battle north of the Hindu Kush, the British, Indian and Afghan armies, the beaten wolf Bèi, fled. The total strength of the army reached 250,000 troops, and the number of annihilated by the Chinese* army was as high as 150,000. Of these, the vast majority surrendered to the Chinese* army, and only a handful were killed on the battlefield.

As the commander of this army, General Ross, a general of the British Army, led tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated army to shuttle through the Hindu Kush Mountains. Originally, he thought that by crossing the Hindu Kush directly, he could get to Kbul before the Chinese* army arrived at Kbul. In this case, whether it is to continue to hold on to Khambuur or to retreat to India, it can be arranged calmly. However, Lieutenant General Rus did not expect that the mountain road of the Hindu Kush was so difficult to cross, and it was even more difficult to cross the Hindu Kush. Quite a few Britons were left behind, or fell straight into the cliff and lost their lives. More importantly, it delays a lot of time. Lieutenant General Ross vaguely felt that the decision to cross the Hindu Kush might have been a mistake from beginning to end.

Three infantry corps of the 7th Army of the Chinese Army are bypassing the Hindu Kush Mountains and rushing to Kabul. After Akbar Khan seized control of the Afghan royal palace, most of the cities and tribes in the kingdom of Afghanistan chose to pledge their allegiance to him. As a result, the advance of the Chinese* army will hardly encounter any obstacles. Although the Chinese army traveled farther, the transportation conditions were much better. This allowed the advance of the Chinese* army to exceed the fleeing British troops.

"Speed up, and once we get to Kabul, we'll be able to stop the British. When the time comes, after eating these British, the entire kingdom of Afghanistan will be ours. According to the information we have received, the British defense line in western India is very empty, and we can even fight all the way from the Kingdom of Afghanistan to Delhi! Lieutenant General Zhou Hao, commander of the 7th Army of the Imperial Army, said.

"Yes, Commander. Although the soldiers are tired, everyone is very energetic! After destroying the British army in Afghanistan, it will be much easier for us to attack India! Lieutenant General Zheng Benqing, chief of staff of the 7th Army, was also full of smiles. The MIA actually plotted against Prince Akbar of the Afghan royal palace and successfully staged a coup d'état. Then, the chances of them winning the war are undoubtedly much greater.

The 7th Army of the Imperial Army, with more than 100,000 people in three infantry armies, rushed all the way to Kabul. The other two infantry corps also plunged headlong into the Hindu Kush and pursued the British* army from behind.

On the morning of September 21, 1854, the tired and hungry British* army arrived in Kabul after burrowing out of the Hindu Kush. They were completely dumbfounded. They were faced with a strong defensive line, and the flag of the Chinese Army had been raised in Kabul.

"Hell, what's going on? Could it be that those Chinese actually ran ahead of us? Lieutenant General Ross was dumbfounded.

"General, what should we do now? Kabul has fallen into the hands of the Chinese. A major general officer asked.

Lieutenant General Ross didn't know what to do, and in order to speed up the escape, the army led by Lieutenant General Ross not only lost all the heavy equipment, but also most of the supplies, leaving only enough dry food for them to get out of the Hindu Kush. However, they underestimated the difficulty of the mountain road, which made them spend an extra two days in the Hindu Kush. And this made all the dry food of the British* army consumed, and even many people were still hungry.

Originally, Lieutenant General Russ also told everyone that as long as they arrived in Kabul, there would be enough food, wine and meat, and everyone would be able to eat a full meal. However, now it is such a result, which undoubtedly knocks the British from the clouds to the bottom!

There was an interception in front, and there were pursuers in the back, plus there was no food and grass. The situation of the British* army is undoubtedly extremely bad. In such a situation, let alone fighting, it would be good not to starve to death.

The 7th Army of the Imperial Army, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation and surrounded the British troops, preparing to annihilate them in one fell swoop. (To be continued......)
