When the country is poor, the army is poor, and this sentence can also be said the other way around. When the country is rich, the army is rich!

When Wu Sangui looted India and could only build fifteen airships. There are more than one hundred and fifty airships in Ao Canghai's hands that can be used for this operation!

The sky was full of huge airships, at the nodes of the road where the Indians retreated. Groups of soldiers of the 1st Ming Army wearing steel helmets parachuted in, and they were able to occupy the nearby high ground and dense forests on both sides of the road two or three hours ahead of the Indian army.

As the retreating Indian troops rushed in droves, what awaited them was machine-gun fire from the vantage heights and countless bullets fired from the Aka 47 rifles.

The Indian army was powerless to fight back, their organization had been broken up, and many people had even abandoned their weapons just to be able to run faster. They were shot like rabbits by the Ming army, and the dead were piled up. Lying on the road, no one cared at all, foxes and wolves came to eat fresh, and later graffiti also joined the ranks of the meal.

When the wild boars came to eat, the leopards and tigers also came out. Of course, the most active eaters are rats. These little things are gnawed on the corpses in broad daylight.

Especially at night, the "click" sound of gnawing pork ribs is terrifying.

The flies laid a large number of eggs on the corpses, and it was not known what kind of flies they were, and after only a day or two, maggots with white flowers appeared on the corpses.

150,000 Indians, they ran wildly. A lot of people ran and ran, sat on the ground and never got up. They are blind and have no mind, and it can even be said that although their bodies are still there, their spirits are dead.

The entire 1st Division received Li Xiao's order, and the prisoners would be handed over to the Zhangxi people for disposal. So, no one was interested in taking prisoners. Generally, it is a matter of raising your hand to shoot a shot, and it is considered luck to be killed. If you can't die, you can only crawl on the ground, and then your body has no strength.

I could only lean against the tree and wait for myself to die. During this time, there may be a wolf, or a fox. If you encounter a bear, you are unlucky. If you encounter a group of hungry rats, you're in bad luck.

If you haven't lost your breath yet, you will clearly feel every bite of the rat gnawing on you. The pain is so powerful that you can even stay awake while your body is unable to move due to excessive blood loss.

At last? You can only die in great pain. The Indians of the Buddhist line will never have anyone to collect their corpses? In the end, they were killed by piles of green-headed flies, white-flowered maggots, and big black ants.

Is the belief in going home so persistent? Indians brave bullets flying from time to time on both sides of the road? Running wildly on the road. Their only thought was to go home, to Mumbai. Never leave your hometown again in this life? Even if you are forced to go out at gunpoint.

Finally, they have come to the way back to Mumbai? Malabar Pass. There is no longer a Ming army in green camouflage uniforms chasing here? But on the front of them, there were many guys wearing blue camouflage.

These men also carried Aka rifles, but not as many general-purpose machine guns as a division. Thirty loaded Aka rifles were enough to deal with the stragglers, and in fact the Indians had no strength to continue fighting the Ming army. Even? They can no longer be called an army.

Bullets coming in rows? The guy who went out to surrender under a white flag was blown to pieces by mortar shells. The Indians are faced with such a dilemma, surrender is death, desperate...... No, fight.

The other party arrived here three days before them and built fortifications? The positions were supported by machine guns. With an acre rifle with up to 30 rounds in the magazine, most of the Indians are out of ammunition? The gun in his hand is basically an ornament. A lot of people have thrown away their guns, and now they have weapons all over them? Only a saber or a dagger.

With these weapons, to fight the Ming army armed to the teeth, you can only die. Put together? No fight!

In the end, the Indians simply gave up? They don't have food? Don't have clean water? There is no replenishment of weapons and ammunition. There is no physical strength to continue marching!

The Ming army did not care about them, and it was the Zhangxi people who followed the Ming army to pursue them. The only thing that is easier to remember than kindness is hatred.

The Indians ran for three days, and the Zhangxi people chased after the Indians' butts for three days.

In the past three days, every time they encountered Indians, the Zhangxi people would cut off their heads without bothering. Then they hung the heads of the Indians on a tree by the side of the road. I don't know what this means, but in short, the roadside from Zhangxi to India is full of heads. It's a road where the smell of fish and blood is mixed together, and it hurts people's brains.

The Zhangxi people did not mean to abuse the Indians, and there was no torture and killing as Li Xiao believed. They appeared very peaceful, let the Indians stand in a row, and then cut off their heads one by one. It's really one by one, tirelessly chopping, no one is fooling, and no one is doing more work.

The Indians behaved quite cooperatively, they showed good discipline. One by one, they lined up, the one in front cut off their heads, and the one in the back followed. The beheading scene was orderly, some people cried and some laughed, and some people shouted loudly before they died, but no one cut the line.

While the Indians cut off their heads, the Ming army watched with guns on the side. They are not ready to interfere, this is the right given to them by the marshal, and the Ming army respects their rights.

It's just that they are more curious, and generally this kind of killing of 10,000 people should not dig a huge pit. Then just throw people into the pit and bury them, which seems to be more efficient and trouble-free.

For Mao to be so tireless, he had to cut off the head of every prisoner of war. In terms of efficiency, this is a very, very time-consuming exercise.

However, since the people of Zhangxi are willing to cut it, let them cut it well. It's good to be a spectator, and it would be even better if you could burn or bury the body.

The Malabar Pass was already stinking, and the 1st Marine Division had to be temporarily withdrawn to participate in the siege of Mumbai.

While the Zhangxi people were slashing and slaughtering at the Malabar Pass, the city was still trying its best to eliminate the participating Indian troops.

The last group of troops to rush into the city of Zhangxi were the Gurkhas, who had been trained and trained by Wu Sangui. These people are very determined to fight, and they will not surrender even when they know that they are under siege.

These guys are hiding in the rubble, or in private houses. Constantly firing cold shots outside, because they are elite, most of them carry more than 200 rounds of bullets.

The first division, which was in charge of purging, has paid a great price these days.

There is no one left on the street, and now the only one who can swagger down the street is the rat. As long as it's human, no matter which side you are, as long as it's a humanoid creature, you're bound to be shot head-on.

There was no way, the Ming army took out a new weapon, a bazooka.

This is a type of ammunition fired by a rocket booster, and because the warhead in front of the push tube is larger than the caliber, the explosion is amazing.

Discover where there is a point of fire and bombard it directly with a bazooka. Even if it doesn't kill you, the earthquake can shake you half. However, the Gurkha were very combat-ready, and soon the bazookas were useless. Because of these guys, start shooting a shot to change places.

By the time you hit the bazooka, the person would have already run away or hide in a place where the bazooka couldn't blow up, and when you passed, come out and shoot again.

The casualties of the bazooka shooters gradually increased, and Ao Canghai was also holding back the fire in his heart. More than 100,000 Indian soldiers have been repulsed, but Zhangxi City has not been cleared yet, which is a fucking slap in the face of the first division.

Soon something even less virtuous was used, and it was the size of a watermelon. It is mainly used to deal with Indians who are hiding in houses or in ruins.

The explosives bag blew a small hole in the wall, and the watermelon-sized thing was stuffed inside. Before the man could run far, he heard a dull sound. The flames that burst out of the hole in the wall were a meter away.

No one needs to look inside anymore, even if it's a fluke that it wasn't burned to death. The intense burning will also deplete the oxygen in the house for a period of time, and people will be suffocated to death. Even if you're in the basement, it doesn't make the slightest difference.

The trebuchet was re-prepared, and the main feature of this thing was that the firing sound was very small. Where there are snipers on the ruins, a shell is fired over. When it falls on the ruins, it will explode and burn, and the flames that fly out will burn if it touches anything, even on stones.

If you put a little bit on your body, you're out of luck. The fire will be like maggots on tarsal bones, and it will not stop until it is finished. Many people can't bear this kind of pain, and they shoot themselves and understand life.

If there is one word to describe the Gurkhas, it is miserable. It was so miserable that people were burned to a black stick, and sometimes even the bones were burned, and they couldn't even recognize who was who.

With the help of white phosphorus incendiary bombs, the clean-up of the Gurkha was much more efficient. However, how many Zhangxi people were injured by mistake in this is not within the scope of consideration of the first division. To fight, what you want is to destroy the enemy and save yourself. Ensuring the safety of the lives of the people of Zhangxi has never been the task of the Liao army.

Queen Zhangxi watched her relatively intact city turn into a ruined city. These are the fortunes that Zhangxi people have been operating for many years, but now she can only watch all this happen, and she can only watch her people cry bitterly in the ruins.

Because, now it is a person named Ao Canghai who has the final say. This guy can only be described in two words, and that is arrogant and rude.

For him, Queen Zhangxi is a passable-looking woman. Not even much interest in getting some sleep! That's all!

On the contrary, it was Queen Zhangxi who had to empty the treasury to deal with this Ao Divisional Commander. At first, I asked for meat, eggs, and vegetables, which was quite acceptable. After all, to help yourself in the war, you should also eat and drink.

But now, this guy has started to ask for money. Say that the military budget is insufficient, and borrow some from yourself.

Oh my God! Can these guys be called borrowed? There was a team of fierce Ming soldiers standing at the door, and the muzzle of the black hole was directly aimed at Queen Zhangxi, asking Queen Zhangxi to make a thousand taels of gold as the military expenses of the Liao army.

One thousand taels of gold! Wu Sangui didn't dare to ask for it so ruthlessly, it was really the front door that sent away the wolf, and the back door brought in the tiger. Da Ming has a lot of appetite compared to Wu Sangui. Perhaps, the Ming people are so greedy. Wu Sangui is also a Ming person, everyone knows this.

In order to gather 1,000 taels of gold, Queen Zhangxi donated all her jewelry. No way, Ao Ye said. If he can't get it together, he will get it himself. How much to take when the time comes, it can only depend on his mood.

During the war, the rich and powerful people of Zhangxi who fled into the inner city now regret it very much. Knowing that the Ming people were coming and fighting the autumn wind, they had already escaped from Zhangxi City early in the morning. Although it is said that you may encounter bandits, or you may encounter Indians under Wu Sangui.

There will still be a way to live, but now that it has fallen into the hands of the Ming people, it is really no way to live. The Ming people don't want to die, just money. They don't care how Queen Zhangxi persecuted these rich and noble families, they just ask Queen Zhangxi for money.

In Ao Ye's words, he can't even get together a little gold, and he is still the queen of birds' eggs.

Queen Zhangxi was about to collapse, but unfortunately he couldn't help it. I can only order the soldiers to search the houses of the rich and noble one by one. She knew that after this time, her reputation in the noble circle would be stinky.

The chaos lasted for a week, and Queen Zhangxi handed over the gold. Ao Ye also shouted loudly and left with his own soldiers. In fact, they also had to go, and hundreds of thousands of Indian routs had their heads cut off by the army led by Tiepu Sultan.

Bombay is now as weak as a shy girl, and the 1st Division must rush out of Bombay as soon as possible to fight the Battle of Bombay. Li Hao said very clearly, this is likely to be the last battle of the Ming Dynasty's expansion in a hundred years. From then on, Daming will not continue to expand.

In other words, Ao Ye's battle is almost over.

This is good news for many people, they have finally survived the expansion period of the Ming Dynasty, and they can live. But for a militant like Ao Ye, it was simply shocking news.

There were quite a number of troops participating in the Battle of Mumbai, including Ao Canghai's 1st Division, Yuan Chonghuan's 2nd Division, Li Dingguo's 1st Marine Division, plus miscellaneous auxiliary units.

This time, Li Xiao dispatched more than 200,000 people to participate in the siege of Mumbai, and the momentum was not much greater than the previous one. This time, it's a knife to kill chickens. In one fell swoop, India's most high-tech and industrialized Mumbai was destroyed.

Li Xiao does not want to conquer the Indians now, he only wants to dismember the Indians. Moreover, if Li Xiao wants to attack the country with the best scientific and technological development, no one can be more advanced than the Ming Dynasty, unless he is tired of being crooked.

Around Mumbai, the army soon gathered. On the sea, more than 30 ironclad ships surrounded the waters of Mumbai.
