1327 Surrounding Wei is not saving Zhao
If Aurangzeb arrived in Delhi in time and defended Delhi with his intelligence, then when Shah Jahan came back, he would have made great contributions and heir to the throne.
Thinking of this, Aurangzeb became more and more anxious. He even despised the infantry and led the cavalry to run away directly.
The secret spy of the Jinyiwei who was lurking along the way saw Aurangzebu leading the cavalry to speed by, and immediately reported the situation through the chat group. So the Ming army on Goa was dispatched. Since the Mughal Empire's army has arrived, it is not a toilet. How could it be that it can come whenever you want and leave whenever you want?
Not to mention how the Ming army mixed cavalry and infantry troops in Goa ravaged the infantry that was abandoned by Aurangzebu. Just to say, the army led by Shah Jahan in Dhaka, Bangladesh was large and powerful, and the speed of work was fast. He had already attacked the city once, but Shah Jahan had a slight face.
Although the Ming army with his face on the city was as he estimated, it did not increase much, and the Ming army's troops in the city were limited. However, the Ming army's artillery was far beyond his expectations.
Although there were artillery in the Mughal army, he had never seen any artillery that could be farther and accurate than the Ming army's artillery! It was finally built to build a good siege equipment and his elephant army, but before they could capture the city, they were defeated by the Ming army's artillery on the top of the city. Especially after the elephant was injured, it was out of control at all, and even trampled on many of his soldiers to death, causing chaos, resulting in the first siege, which ended in such a flawless end.
Shah Jahan was not an incompetent person. The result of the first battle made him realize that the battle against Dhaka would not be as smooth as expected. The arrogance of the Ming army had a certain amount of capital. The advantages of artillery were of great help to defending the city, which made him very troubled.
After thinking for a while, he immediately ordered the auxiliary soldiers and servants to dig trenches, and approach the city walls from the trenches, which could greatly weaken the power of the artillery.
So, the city of Dhaka immediately became enthusiastic. The Mughal Empire army relied on the large number of people and dug up shirtlessly beyond the range of the cannon. But to be honest, the range of the cannon is long enough, and it will take a long time to dig the moat. Even if the Mughal army can rely on the cover of the night, get closer to the distance before excavating, it will take a lot of time.
Ordinary people may not think so, they will dig it sooner or later. But for Shah Jahan, he was anxious. If the war in Dhaka was delayed for a long time, the more people he brought, the greater the logistics pressure. The most important thing is that the Ming army is firmly in the walls and clears the fields, and they cannot get supplies in the Bangladesh region and must be transported from their own territory. Such wars are really exhausting national strength.
But since we are here, we must knock Dhaka down. Shah Jahan felt ruthless and supervised himself, so the process of digging the trenches was much faster.
On this day, as the trench was about to be dug to the vicinity of the moat, Shah Jahan finally looked a little better. When his subordinates saw it, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they became much more relaxed, and they all started to flatter.
"The Khan is really wise. Just digging a trench with a simple move can easily break the Ming army's artillery. No matter how powerful the Ming army's artillery is, it will be useless. It's so amazing!"
"Nonsense, the Khan is wise and powerful. Who is the opponent of the Khan in the world? Not to mention that it is just Dhaka, the Khan personally fights, you can see that you will soon be able to hit Togo!"
“…”
Hearing these words, Shah Jahan was in a good mood and said lightly: "Don't say more if you want, go back and prepare. Ben Khan gives you more time to prepare, and he will launch a general attack in three days and win the Dhaka!"
Hearing this, the generals below were all happy and said that they must be the first to attack the city. They also said something about close combat, the Ming army was just a slag. It was as if the Ming army had no support for artillery and would definitely not have the power to fight back.
Just when they were happy, suddenly the sound of footsteps came from outside the tent. Shah Jahan's personal guard leader hurried in and reported in panic: "Khan, it's not good. The Ming army landed on the sea. Now it's a quick attack to Delhi. Please return to the rescue as soon as possible!"
"What?" Shah Jahan's faint smile on his face instantly threw it to Java Island, and he couldn't even sit still. He suddenly stood up, leaned forward, and shouted loudly, "What's going on, how is this possible?"
The trusted leader immediately stepped forward quickly and presented an emergency document.
In the big tent, all the people from the Mughal Empire were stunned. The main force was outside, but the Ming army suddenly appeared in the hinterland of the empire. Isn’t it equivalent to a knife being directly inserted into the heart of the heart!
Shah Jahan tore it apart a few times and looked at it. A sharp-eyed person saw that Shah Jahan's hand holding the letter was slightly trembling, as if he had the disease that the old man often had. Seeing this, these sharp-eyed people felt something wrong in their hearts. Even the wise Shah Jahan was afraid of being like this. Wouldn't that mean that there were many Ming troops attacking the hinterland of the empire and Delhi was about to be lost?
Shah Jahan finished reading it once, and seemed to be watching it again the second time, but he didn't say anything anyway. His appearance made everyone worried. If Delhi loses, his family and wealth will be there. What should I do?
They were anxious, and a few of them were even ready to move, with the worry and anxiousness on their faces, as if they were trying to persuade Shah Jahan to go back quickly.
But at this moment, Shah Jahan's face suddenly returned to normal, and even showed no care. He tore the letter paper in his hand casually, and said while tearing it up: "I really scared Ben Han. It turned out that it was only two or three thousand Ming troops. It was ridiculous that he wanted to transfer the army back with just this little force!"
The letter paper in his hand had been torn into pieces and was still tearing it down, but Shah Jahan's eyes swept over everyone below and said coldly: "The Ming army uses this move, which means they are worried that Dhaka will be captured by our army and want our army to return to aid immediately. If they really withdraw their troops immediately, they will be hit by their plan! It's just two or three thousand Ming troops. I don't know that they can't defeat Delhi, and maybe they will be defeated by the local army."
At this time, the letter paper in his hand was torn to pieces, but he did not throw it away, but instead held it tightly in his hand and announced loudly: "Transfer the will of Ben Khan, and will launch a general attack on Dhaka early tomorrow morning. The first to climb to the city will be rewarded with great rewards and will never break his promise!"
When a careful person heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong. Didn’t Dahan say that he should be more prepared and was scheduled to attack again in three days? Why did he mean that he would have to attack early in the morning? Not to mention that the trench was not dug in place, the preparation time was not enough! Could it be... Is Dahan afraid that Delhi would be missing?
Although a few people guessed that this was the case, they did not dare to break the paper. If the sweat was furious, they could not bear the anger of the sweat. After these people left the camp, they found that the messenger who came to report the news was gone, and they felt even more wrong. But there was no way, they could only prepare with great concern, hoping that there would be fewer casualties tomorrow morning and that they could return to the rescue early after collecting the Daka.
The next morning, but just when the sun rose, the Mughal army had already had a meal, arrayed outside the range of artillery fire, and was about to enter the trench to launch an attack on Dhaka.
In addition to having two panda eyes, Shah Jahan looked as usual, riding a tall horse in front of the formation to inspect the army.
This general attack must be successful. Only by taking Dhaka in one fell swoop can you lead the troops back to the rescue. Otherwise, the 100,000 troops brought out will suffer heavy losses in panic. After all, the families of this elite army are basically from Delhi or nearby. More than 10,000 Ming troops landed on the sea to attack Delhi, which was really unexpected. With Delhi's current strength, it is probably difficult to last for a long time.
Shah Jahan thought this in his heart and couldn't help but feel very bitter. If he had known this, the army would have set out later. In this way, the Ming army would have passed by the sea and could have made him come and go!
After thinking for a while, Shah Jahan looked up at the location of the sun and felt that he could not delay any more, so he planned to make a few sentences to boost morale and eliminate the blow caused by the first siege.
Inhaling in his chest, Shah Jahan was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. When Shah Jahan was about to start speaking, no one dared to discuss it privately, and the scene was still very quiet. Because of this, the sound of horse hooves coming from was particularly clear and attracted everyone's attention, including Shah Jahan.
I saw a cavalry coming from afar, carrying a flag, showing that he was a 100,000 urgent messenger. When I saw this, it would be fine if the soldiers below didn't know about it. The civil servants and generals were shocked. They were actually a 100,000 urgent messenger. That was probably news about the Ming army in the hinterland of the empire, and it was definitely not good news!
Shah Jahan was also very worried. He knew how many Ming troops had invaded the empire's hinterland. However, no matter what, the war was about to break out, and it could be said that the arrow was on the string and he had to fire it. Since he had decided to take the Daka first and then return to the army, he had to persist until the battle was over.
Thinking of this, Shah Jahan made up his mind. He saw that he had a cold face, first swept the civil servants and generals who were following him, and then watched the messenger rush to the front. Without waiting for the messenger to speak, he shouted first: "Isn't it just that the Ming army is going to attack Delhi. I already know this. There is no need to report it again. You can go and rest!"
When his subordinates heard this, they immediately stepped forward and prepared to "support" the messenger to leave.
But who knew that the messenger refused to leave, but instead reported loudly: "The Khan, not only the Ming army, but also the Gushi Khan from Tibet, also led a large army to attack Delhi. Now he is attacking the Ming army from north to south. Delhi is in danger. Please return to the rescue quickly, otherwise Delhi will not be protected!"
As soon as the anxious shout came out, everyone was stunned, even Shah Jahan was no exception.
The Ming army's attack on Delhi had already made him very worried. However, in order not to fail to make the army in this time, to cut off the troubles in Bangladesh, and to avoid possible problems when withdrawing troops, Shah Jahan became an actor and concealed the news.
But who knew that the severity of the matter was far beyond his expectations. Even if he had calculated it, it would have been impossible for Gushikhan to come down from Tibet to attack Delhi at this time. And after this report, Gushikhan was in the same group as the Ming army. It was already difficult for Delhi to persist in the attack of the Ming army. In addition, Gushikhan stabbed him like this in the back, Delhi was basically unsafe.
Delhi is the capital of the empire, his old nest, and the place where everyone under his command settles. If the old nest is taken down, the empire may fall apart. This consequence is unbearable for Shah Jahan.
Although the battle to attack Dhaka was on the string, it had to be withdrawn. After all, the preparations for Dhaka's attack were a little hasty, and Shah Jahan was actually not sure whether he could fight in one battle. Moreover, the Ming army and Gushi Khan cooperated so well that he attacked Delhi when the army was on the expedition, which gave him a sense that the Ming army had planned.
Since this is the case, Dhaka City must have been prepared to lead a large army to attack, and the possibility of being able to capture it at one time is even lower.
Thinking of this, Shah Jahan was also decisive and immediately issued an order to return to the army immediately, rescue Delhi immediately, and defeat the Ming army and Gushikhan who were sneak attacking Delhi.
On the top of Dhaka city, Min Hongxue and others saw Shah Jahan and his friends' actions through the telescope, and said regretfully: "It seems that the news has been spread. It's a pity. Let the Mughal army attack the city again, consume more troops, and look back much easier."
Hearing Min Hongxue say this, Ma Xianglin put down his telescope and immediately replied loudly: "Don't worry, with their morale at this time, they are eager to rush back to rescue. The last general follows and chases them. They will definitely kill them so much that they regret not daring to attack!"
Zhang Fengyi heard it from the side and couldn't help but glance at her husband, then followed her husband's words and said: "My husband means everything. According to the orders of the elders, even if the Mughal army is elite, my husband will have the confidence to defeat them!"
After hearing this, Min Hongxue smiled and said, "I still know General Ma's courage. After Shah Jahan led the cavalry and the secret spies of the Jinyiwei sent the news back, General Ma could take action."
When Ma Xianglin heard this, he was very happy and immediately clasped his fists and replied loudly: "I will obey the order!"
When Shah Jahan wanted to rescue Delhi, it was naturally impossible for him to lead the army slowly back. Therefore, after he left with the cavalry, after confirmation by the secret spies of the Jinyiwei, Ma Xianglin led the cavalry and began to harass and attack the panic Mughal Empire infantry, while Zhang Fengyi led the infantry to chase after him.
This was an unequal war. Before Zhang Fengyi's infantry caught up, after being harassed by Ma Xianglin's cavalry for a day, the civilians in the Mughal Empire first collapsed and fled, followed by auxiliary soldiers, and finally the entire army collapsed.
Ma Xianglin was very annoyed about this, and felt that he had some energy. He had seen his opponent's flaws and was about to punch him, but the opponent fell down by himself.
