841 What is this situation?
Next, the reorganization of the surrendered soldiers of this Mughal infantry army.
The original organization was disrupted, and each soldier under the temporary 100 households was assigned. Although doing so would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness. However, Emperor Chongzhen had never cared about their combat effectiveness.
In addition, each hundred-man team will join a military supervisor, with the best performing in this battle of the 1000 new Mughal soldiers. The reason why the soldiers from the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty were not sent was because the language was not understood by both sides. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen did not want to weaken the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.
This reorganization took only two days, but this time only allowed the basic reorganization to be completed. After all, there were as many as 100,000 people. Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen led his troops to Delhi. During this march, he also gave the infantry a new 100-man team a familiar opportunity.
……………………
While they were marching towards Delhi, there was also an army heading towards Delhi to the east, so they were naturally Dalantai's troops.
The journey westward was unexpectedly smooth. The Mughal Empire's cities would basically only hide in the city. If they found that the city defense was not good, Dalantai would drive away the prisoners captured along the way to attack the city.
The reason for doing this was that he never thought of conquering the city. Therefore, when he first rushed down from the Tibetan Plateau, he did not succeed again except for the first few successes.
But even so, the main purpose of Dalantai's leadership is to create a huge situation. Therefore, even if he can't get off the city, he still has to fight. Anyway, it's not his subordinates. If he consumes the prisoners, he can save a lot of food.
But what he never expected was that on the way he went west, he used prisoners to attack the city, and he actually captured several cities, so that his captives became more and more.
At first he was a little puzzled. After interrogating the prisoners, he learned that the elite troops along the way were all transferred away by Shashujia, the second prince of the Mughal Empire.
After hearing this news, Dalantai was a little worried.
Originally, Shashujia had already drawn the elite troops from the north of the Mughal Empire. He had fought with Shashujia's troops, so he naturally knew very well. Now, Shashujia has transferred all the elite troops from the towns along the way, so there are more troops.
Thinking of this, Dalantai asked the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, "I wonder how many soldiers and horses did Your Majesty bring to lead the troops from the northwest of the Mughal?"
After hearing this, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty thought about it and replied: "When His Majesty set out from the capital, he brought 10,000 cavalry."
"What?" Dalantai was a little stunned when he heard this.
He always thought that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would definitely bring a lot of men. Unexpectedly, when he set out from the capital, he only brought 10,000 cavalry troops?
After coming back to his senses, Dalantai thought for a while and asked again: "Did Your Majesty even draw troops from all over the country?"
"No." After hearing this, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty shook his head and said, "Of all 10,000 of the 10,000 cavalry commanded by His Majesty were mobilized from other places."
"..." Dalantai was speechless. If this was the case, it was obvious that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty could not lead the infantry, otherwise it would not have been possible to enter the northwest of the Mughal Empire so quickly. But if it were a cavalry, if it were a cavalry, it would probably be the Tianshan Mountains to be recruited along the way. Even if it was a magnitude, from the perspective of population and logistics, it would be possible to add another 20,000 at most?
Thirty thousand cavalrymen entered the northwest of the Mughal Empire. With the exhaustion of troops and the capsized city, they created such a great momentum, which forced the Second Prince of Mughal to leave him alone and immediately lead the army back, and even mobilized troops along the way. To achieve this, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty must have fought many major wars. In this way, how much combat power can his troops have?
Dalantai has a deep understanding of this. Every time he fights, even if he wins in the end, he will definitely lose a lot of troops. It is also because of this reason that he did not dare to fight hard battles again, but just pick up soft persimmons to squeeze them.
Thinking of this, Dalantai immediately said to the Ming envoy with great concern: "Now that Shashujia has led the elite army back, and he must have gone to deal with His Majesty. His Majesty must not have many troops. Will there be any problem? What should we do?"
Hearing this, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty just smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor. The gods descend to earth and win every battle. How could they lose! We just need to follow the plan and go west and meet!"
"..." Hearing this, Dalantai couldn't help but look at the envoy of the Ming Dynasty a little foolishly, and he was a little speechless.
You said that the emperor is the true dragon emperor, okay, I believe that every emperor is the true dragon emperor anyway!
However, since ancient times, there have been so many emperors, and that emperor is truly invincible and invincible? Even the greatest Genghis Khan had suffered defeats back then and could not even save his wife! Not to mention, it was just the emperor of the Central Plains dynasty. Even if he had won some battles, he dared to say that he was a victory in every battle?
They are all people who lead the troops to fight. Who doesn’t know that the war is dangerous? Who can be 100% sure to win any war? Not to mention that the current situation is actually very unoptimistic! Not to mention that there are so many important towns in the northwest of the Mughal Empire, the troops led by Shashujia alone are already very powerful. Can you Emperor Ming really win?
Thinking of this, Dalantai wanted to confirm again and explain the specific situation clearly. However, when he saw the Ming envoy in front of him, he immediately thought about it and let it go. Ask again, the answer is the same!
There is no other way, I just hope that the Ming Emperor will not encounter Sha Shujia’s main force! Or avoid fighting and wait until the two sides join forces to think of a solution. Or, if you have a good time, Sha Shujia will eventually have to divide the troops to find him, so that the Ming Emperor in the northwest will be less pressure.
Thinking of this, Da Lantai couldn't help but mutter in his heart. Perhaps this was the reason why the Emperor of Ming Dynasty asked him to make a big fuss, but if he encountered a strong enemy, he still couldn't fight and could only retreat!
Thinking of this, the army still advanced westward as planned.
Along the way, Dalantai has been worried.
As a result, as he thought, even though he was getting closer and closer to Delhi and even if he was having a lot of fun, he did not see reinforcements from the Mughal Empire. In other words, the Mughal Empire's army should have all gone to deal with the Ming Emperor!
I'm afraid this is a lingering situation?
Dalantai thought so in his heart, and wanted to talk to the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. But seeing the envoy of the Ming Dynasty as he was full of confidence, he was speechless: Why is this envoy of the Ming Dynasty so devout to their emperor?
He felt that it was not very good, so he quietly began to make arrangements.
This is not far from Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, but we still haven't encountered reinforcements sent by the Mughal Empire, which means that the Mughal Empire is dealing with the troops of the Ming emperor. Once the war is over there, we will definitely come to deal with it. There are only more than 10,000 people, so we must be prepared to retreat at any time.
For this reason, Dalantai secretly found Jimuda, who was in charge of the sentry detective, and said to him in a very stern tone: "Don't see that we are doing well now, but in fact we are likely to wander around the abyss. You can release the sentry detective and double the distance. Be sure to ensure that our army is not ambushed by the enemy, and you can't let the enemy army find out when they arrive in front of you. Do you understand?"
He was afraid that the victory in front of him would blind his subordinates' eyes, so he gave a detailed explanation and pointed out the current crisis.
Suddenly, Jimda immediately understood the key to the war in the Mughals and nodded quickly.
From the next day, Jimda personally led his men to the Delhi direction. Because Delhi is the capital of Mughals, the enemy situation here is the most important.
On this day, according to the information obtained in advance, and the interrogation of the prisoners knew that they were only more than one hundred miles away from Delhi. However, they still had not encountered reinforcements from the Mughal Empire, which was extremely abnormal. Therefore, Jimda made a decision and sent his subordinates to remind Dalantai to be careful, while he himself led the remaining sentry to Delhi to find out what was going on.
During his cautious period, he took some rest and saw that all his subordinates were full of energy and the war horses were full of energy, so he led them forward.
The cavalry usually takes one day for a distance of more than one hundred miles. However, the whistle detective has multiple horses, so if he runs freely, it will naturally not take one day.
But Jimda did not do this, and it took a day and a half to leave the physical strength of the horse to escape in an unexpected situation.
In the afternoon, he arrived around Delhi. This made Jimda even more cautious, because he had not met anyone along the way, not only the Mughal army, but also the ordinary pedestrians. What the hell is this?
Turning around a hill, you will probably see Delhi!
He was thinking this way, and suddenly, he heard his subordinates come and report, "It seems that there is movement!"
When Jimuda heard this, he listened carefully and seemed to be really moving, coming from a very distant place. In this direction...
Having identified this, he turned to Delhi and quickly said to his subordinates: "Let's go, there is something going on in Delhi, go and have a look!"
While he finished speaking, he took the lead and drove forward one by one.
As we passed, even though there was a sound of horse hooves, the faint noise became clearer and clearer.
Turning over the hill, my eyes suddenly became clear. The distant Delhi was the most eye-catching point. Jimda and others saw the city of Delhi at first sight, the capital of the Mughal Empire.
Chapter completed!
