As the capital of the Mughal Empire in India, Delhi has always been one of the largest cities in India, and of course, after India became a British colony, Kolkata developed rapidly, replacing Delhi as the political and cultural center of India. After India became a protectorate of the Chinese Empire, Kolkata became a direct dependency of the Indian Emperor Long Yufei, which made Kolkata grow faster and is now the largest city in India. However, Delhi's position in the central and western regions of India is still very important.

Immediately after the fall of Delhi, the rebels declared the restoration of the Mughal Empire, and a royal lineage was put on the throne. But now, the rebel army suffered a crushing defeat, and the Chinese* army and the Indian Turkish army were closing in on Delhi, and the shape of Delhi was precarious. In such a situation, Buckard. Khan led part of the rebel army to abandon Delhi and move into south-central India to seek other development, which made the atmosphere in Delhi even more tense.

Now, the only supreme leader of the rebels in Delhi is the Queen of Chhansi. She was originally the wife of the prince of Jhansi, but after the death of the prince of Jhansi, because she had no children, the queen of Jhansi became the regent of Jhansi as the guardian of the queen, that is, she became the queen of Jhansi. However, with the support of the Chinese Empire, Chhansi was destroyed by other princely states, and the queen of Chhanxi became a declining aristocrat who lost her territory. Not only did she hold a grudge against other Indian princes, but she also hated the Chinese Empire. This time she organized an uprising in order to reclaim her own territory. Originally, the uprising was very smooth, which gave him hope. But now, the shape shì suddenly became very unfavorable for the Indian rebels.

"From now on. Delhi went into a state of emergency combat readiness, with all the armies on the defensive. We need to rely on the strong walls of Delhi to defend ourselves. Rest assured, we still have more than one million troops. Food and weapons and equipment are also sufficient, and if the Chinese want to take Delhi, it is simply impossible. As long as they let them lose their troops under Delhi, those Chinese will choose to give up. When the time comes, they will recognize our status. It's a big deal to pay some more price, and we will be able to keep the current benefits! Queen Jhansi said to everyone.

Originally, Queen Chhansi, like other rebel leaders, wanted to completely drive the Chinese out of India. However, one after another came the news of failure. She felt tremendous pressure, and also felt the gap between the rebel army and the Chinese* army. With these rebel armies alone, it is almost impossible to fight against the Chinese* army. Therefore, to make the Chinese* army realize that they are not easy to deal with, and finally have to admit the existence of the rebel army, this became the purpose of the queen of Zhanxi. However, in order to do this, it is first necessary to resist the attack of the Chinese* army. Otherwise. A qiē will be empty talk. If the Chinese* army captures Delhi, it will be impossible to do so.

While the rebels were rearming for battle, the Chinese* army and the Indian Turkish army marched towards Delhi from both east and west. On 9 July, the Imperial* army and the Indian Turkish army surrounded Delhi. With the victory of the Imperial Army. More and more Indian princely lords regained their power and territory, and they organized large numbers of Turkish armies to assist the Imperial Army in quelling rebellions. So, at the time of the siege of Delhi. The total strength of the Imperial Army was just over 300,000. However, the strength of the Indian Turkish army that participated in the war. It has skyrocketed to more than a million. The counterinsurgency army is no worse than the rebel army in Delhi in terms of strength. There is a world of difference in the weaponry and combat effectiveness of the two sides, and the rebel army does not have an advantage at all. The only thing they could rely on was probably the tall walls of Delhi. However, there is a day when the strong defense will be breached. It is undoubtedly wishful thinking to rely on a strong defense to confront the Imperial Army.

On 11 July, the Imperial Army concentrated thousands of artillery pieces on Delhi. At this moment, there were not many inhabitants in the city, almost all of them were officers and soldiers of the rebel army. Therefore, when the Imperial artillery shelled, they did not have to think about whether they would harm civilians at all. In fact, even if there were civilians in Delhi, the Imperial Army and the Indian Turkish Army would not care. In India, life is so cheap that no one cares about it.

The fire of thousands of cannons was spectacular, and the entire city walls of Delhi and some areas of the city were enveloped in artillery fire. Cannonballs exploded on the city walls, and a cloud of sand and rocks appeared, one after another. The houses in the city were even more ablaze. Although the walls of Delhi seem to be strong. However, Delhi is an old city after all. Under heavy shelling by Imperial artillery, the city's defenses were almost destroyed. The rebels in the city also suffered heavy losses under the shelling.

The queen of Chhansi was furious and ordered the city's artillery to counterattack. Although, the rebels also had a lot of artillery in their hands, hundreds of them. However, they were able to find not many people who could manipulate artillery, and less than a hundred guns fought back. As soon as the artillery counterattacked, it was immediately spotted by observation balloons in the air, and the Imperial artillery was immediately commanded to suppress them. In just ten minutes, the artillery of the Indian rebel army was devastated, the artillery was destroyed, and the artillery was also killed and wounded......

This result made Queen Zhanxi very helpless, and she deeply realized the gap between the rebel army and the Chinese* army. Now she regretted it a little, maybe she had listened to Buckard. Khan's Jianyì, abandoning Delhi and moving into south-central India, was right. But now, Delhi is surrounded by Chinese* troops and Indian Turkish troops, and even if they want to evacuate, it is impossible.

Although the Chinese* army carried out heavy artillery bombardment, it did not immediately attack. This shelling only made the Indian rebels realize the strength of the Imperial Army. It was also a huge blow to the morale of the Indian rebels. Of course, if you want to attack now, I am afraid that it will cause some unnecessary casualties to the Imperial Army. In addition, Handrao of the Princely State of Vadodara asked the commander of the 11th Army of the Imperial Army, General Chen Yuan, that he could contact a high-ranking officer of the rebel army in Delhi and could rebel against the officer, asking him to open the gates of the city and let the Imperial Army and the Indian Turkish army enter the city. In this case, the casualties of the Imperial Army and the Indian Turkish Army would undoubtedly be much lower.

Admiral Chen Yuan adopted Handrao's proposal. That night, Handrao immediately sent someone to secretly infiltrate Delhi and make relevant preparations. The fierce shelling of thousands of artillery pieces of the Imperial Army during the day gave a great shock to the Indian rebels. Many of the rebels realized that under the heavy shelling of the Imperial Army, the city of Derry would probably not be able to hold it. Therefore, some people who are more careful have begun to secretly look for a way out. The person sent by Handrao happened to hit it off with the other party.

It was agreed that the gates of Delhi would be opened on the night of July 12 and the Imperial cavalry would be allowed to enter the city.

During the day on 12 July, the Imperial Army once again launched a heavy artillery bombardment of Delhi with thousands of guns. Tens of thousands of shells entered the city, reducing the small half of Delhi to rubble, further demoralizing the rebels. At the same time, more and more generals of the rebel army realized that it should be impossible to hold Delhi.

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, the gates of Delhi were opened. The Imperial cavalry, which had already been prepared, took the opportunity to storm the city of Delhi. Subsequently, a large number of Indian Turkish troops also entered the city and began to attack the rebels in the city.

"Dada! Dada! "The sound of horses' hooves gathered together, as if it were thundering, and in the silence of the night, it was heard far, far away. The whole city of Derry was awakened.

"Her Majesty the Queen, something is wrong, the Chinese cavalry has entered the city and is wantonly slashing the rebel army!" A rebel officer said to the queen of Zhanxi with a panicked face.

"What? How so? Queen Jhansi was dumbfounded. I didn't expect the Chinese cavalry to suddenly enter the city.

"Someone opened the city gate and let the Chinese into the city. Her Majesty the Queen, we have no other way, hurry up and break through the chaos! ”

"Breakout? How can it be? The Chinese and Indian Turkish troops have surrounded the whole of Delhi, and we cannot escape. Order the ministries to fight to the end with the Chinese! "Queen Jhansi gave up the unrealistic idea of breaking through and gave the order to fight to the death.

"Poof!"

The saber slashed hard, and an Indian rebel soldier was directly split in half. The Imperial cavalry galloped through the streets of Delhi as if they were in a no-man's land, killing the Indian rebels one after another.

More than 100,000 cavalry entered the city and wantonly rushed and killed, and the rebel army was crushed in a light way. The Indian Turkish army that entered the city also began to pick up the bargain and launched an attack on the rebel army that had no power to resist. In the face of the attack of the Imperial Army and the Indian Turkish Army, a large number of rebel troops surrendered one after another. Many of them, even if they surrendered, were killed. The red-eyed Indian Turkish army won't care so much.

Queen Jhansi led her own guards in a bloody battle with the Imperial cavalry near the palace. Although her guards were not numerous, they were all elite, and the Imperial cavalry paid a great price.

However, the situation was reversed by a steady stream of reinforcements from the Imperial cavalry, followed by the use of mortars and heavy machine guns. In the fierce battle, Queen Chhansi was shot several times, fell off her horse, and was trampled to death by her horse, becoming the first leader of the Indian rebel army to die.

After a night of fierce fighting, Delhi was captured, and the main force of the Indian rebels was wiped out in the battle. (To be continued......)
