845 The Emperor's Practice

The main text of Chongzhen eavesdropping system, Volume 845, the emperor turned the mountain pass. As Jimda expected, he saw that the Mughal capital Delhi in the distance was surrounded by the Ming Dynasty. However, Mughal flag was still flying on the top of Delhi. It seems that this is the case, it should have not started yet.

Finally arrived in time! Da Lantai thought to himself, but found a team of cavalrymen running towards this side, not far away. The one in the lead seemed to be a general.

"This is... this is here to welcome it?" Da Lantai couldn't help but wonder in his heart, how did he know that he would lead the army at this time?

Because of the marching, there were all the soldiers who rushed to Da Lantai. However, the Ming envoy was naturally with him. Of course, he also saw the cavalry coming. After a little closer, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted: "Master Zhou, Master Zhou..."

The Grand Marshal is the title of the general of the Ming army. Dalantai knew this, so he was actually a general who came to greet him, and he couldn't help but feel a little flattered.

Those who came to greet Zhou Yuji, who was one of the generals of the Cavalry Camp, were sent from the palace by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. He naturally knew him. At this time, he had already arrived close to him, and stopped and smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I have met the imperial envoy! Is this the Third Prince? Your Majesty ordered me to come and greet you all!"

After hearing this, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty nodded quickly and introduced them to each other.

Then, without waiting for the people behind, they went to Delhi first. No matter what, since Dalantai had arrived, he naturally had to pay homage to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

"You are finally here, otherwise, there will be no share in Delhi!" Zhou Yuji smiled and turned to the Ming envoy and Dalantai and said.

Among them, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were respected, representing Emperor Chongzhen, so they walked in the middle.

When Dalantai heard this, he turned his head and passed the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, looked at Zhou Yuji, and asked in surprise: "Delhi is about to break through? How many days have he attacked?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yuji shook his head and said with a smile: "I just surrounded me, never attacked me. But the emperor said that the city was broken for only two days."

"..." Da Lantai was speechless when he heard this. For so many days, he just surrounded him and did not attack. Why did the Emperor of Ming Dynasty say that the city was destroyed only in these two days?

He had suspicion, but the envoy of the Ming Dynasty had no suspicion at all. He immediately laughed and said, "It's a good thing that we are marching in a hurry. We are really caught up with this!"

Well, you all trust your emperor so much. If I express a little doubt, it would be disrespect to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of this in my heart, Da Lantai could only smile and agree.

Deep in his heart, of course he didn't believe it. Delhi was the capital of the Mughal Empire after all, and it was one of the most solid cities in the Mughals. If you haven't attacked once, you can guarantee that you can capture it? Xuan!

……………………

About half an hour later, Dalantai arrived at the camp outside Delhi City and was received by Emperor Chongzhen.

After Dalantai greeted him, Emperor Chongzhen cordially condolences Gushikhan's health, and then said to him: "You have done a good job, but you have not lost much of your troops, but you can make a big fuss in the northeast of the Mughal Empire, allowing the troops of Shashujia of Mughal to travel back and forth, and finally created a fighter opportunity for me. Therefore, I specially waited for you to arrive before taking Delhi."

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Although Da Lantai didn't believe it, he immediately responded to Emperor Chongzhen's words without any hesitation.

Emperor Chongzhen then commended the envoy he sent to the Heshuo Special Division, one of the eight people he first cultivated from the Nei Shutang, and appointed him as the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor.

Then he said to the generals below seriously: "If I expected it would be good, Shah Jahan of Mughal would arrive in Delhi within about three to six days. Therefore, you and others are ready to attack the city tonight."

"The last general obeys the order!" After hearing this, many generals immediately clasped their fists and ordered their orders, with a loud voice.

Of course, Da Lantai also included. However, he was very surprised. Because he found that whether he heard what others said or now seeing Emperor Chongzhen with his own eyes, he always felt that Emperor Ming seemed to be very confident in doing things, and he would do whatever he calculated correctly.

Is it really that powerful?

Dalantai was thinking this in his heart, and there was no hurry. Didn’t the Emperor of Ming Dynasty say that the Shah Jahan of Mughal will come soon, and the Ming army will attack the city tonight, so let’s wait and see!

Then, he received the order and went to arrange his subordinates to camp.

Emperor Chongzhen continued to observe the information in the eavesdropping system.

He knew when Shah Jahan would set out from Mumbai. Then, based on the learned situation on the road from Mumbai to Delhi, and based on the maximum speed and optimal speed of the cavalry, he came to the previous announced conclusion.

As for Delhi, when Emperor Chongzhen arrived, he chose the Mughal generals and civil servants who appeared on the city. Anyway, seeing who had a higher official position, he scattered a pile of Class C eavesdropping seeds.

Although he did not attack the city in the past few days, he understood the situation in the city clearly.

It has to be said that Emperor Chongzhen suddenly led the army this time, and turned the infantry brought by Sha Shujia into part of the Ming army, which greatly shocked the defenders in the city. It is not an exaggeration to describe the city as panic all day long.

Don’t look at Delhi as the capital of the Mughal Empire, but when Shahjahan went to war, he had already taken away some of the elites. When Shahja went to war in the northeast, he also took away some of the elites. After returning to the army, he thought about fighting with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, so he took away some more.

After a few moments, there are actually not many troops in Delhi City.

These days, Emperor Chongzhen did not really just surrounded the city and did nothing. Instead, he made the attitude of siegeing the city at any time, and the possibility of siege was adjusted according to the tension of the defenders in the city. It can be said that he had always pulled the nervous string of the defenders in the city tightly.

In addition, when there was nothing wrong, the Mughals were asked to shout in unison to the city, and they would like to deal with the situation after the city was broken. This was the matter of uniting the middle and lower classes to fight against the local tyrants. After much talk, the city spread.

Under the strong pressure of the Ming army outside the city and the nervousness of the powerful people in the city, there have been several tense transitions and forcibly suppressing some soldiers and untouchables who were looking for rebellion.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen was confident that he was attacking Nacheng at night was that the defenders on the southeast corner above the city were sleeping slackly for two consecutive days after midnight.

Today, Dalantai's troops had just arrived in a hurry. In the eyes of the defenders at the city, they must have to rest for a whole day or two before they could attack the city. In other words, the Ming army has not attacked the city, and may be waiting for this army. Then, in a day or two, it is probably the beginning of the dangerous defense battle in Delhi. Since this is the case, we will hurry up and rest now.

This mentality was not only guessed by Emperor Chongzhen, but now he has also been confirmed by eavesdropping the information fed back by many Class C eavesdropping seeds in the system.

So, on the surface, on this day, the Ming army outside the city seemed to have given up threatening the city and welcomed the new army. The trouble was quite big, and then they set up camp and transported supplies, and it seemed that they were having a celebration or something, which was lively.

The defenders on the city were relieved when they saw it.

At around four o'clock in the morning, that is, at four o'clock in the morning, Emperor Chongzhen personally led the Ming soldiers who had selected the night attacks and quietly arrived at the southeast corner of Delhi.

Just like the previous two days, the defenders of this city wall were still very relaxed and almost fell asleep again.

The sunrise time in Delhi is around 6:30 in the morning. It can be said that at four or five in the morning, it is the most sleepy time for people.

After Emperor Chongzhen re-confirmed the situation on the city wall through the eavesdropping system, he personally deployed the details of the city stealing. The main point was to point out the information about where there were people on the city and how many people were there.

After all the explanations were made, he said to the leader Li Laiheng: "In the battle of Delhi, I will give you the first merits, and I will wait for your good news!"

After hearing this, Li Laiheng immediately led his generals to salute, and replied in a low voice but solemnly: "Don't worry, your majesty, the first merit is about to be settled!"

Then, he led his soldiers to act quietly.

Emperor Chongzhen did not leave, but was outside the city, focusing on the eavesdropping system and observing the movements of the Delhi defenders. In case of any situation, he could immediately dispatch troops to support Li Laiheng's troops.

Before, although he seemed very confident and did not take the Delhi defenders into consideration, at the beginning, he was still very serious and did not dare to be careless.

However, others couldn't see it. They just saw that after Emperor Chongzhen began his operation, he sat in the military tent and closed his eyes to rest, and seemed to have no concern at all about the situation outside.

This kind of cultivation in the war is worthy of being the emperor!

The 20,000 cavalry brought by Emperor Chongzhen was the elite of the Ming army. Emperor Chongzhen selected hundreds of elites from these 20,000, and required no night blindness and proficient in cold weapons battles. He was agile and brave, and was not difficult.

When Li Laiheng was still a thief, he knew how to steal the city. Therefore, he was familiar with this action. At the beginning, he was so cautious.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the city gate through his flying claws and arrived at the city gate guards, he could still see the group of Mughal soldiers sleeping soundly. This made him a little embarrassed. Should he start directly or slap him first and then send him back to the west?

While taking action, Li Laiheng had to sigh that the emperor was so amazing that the defenders here could sleep to death! Just as he was thinking about this, he was suddenly shocked. Could it be that the emperor did it and turned into a sleepy bug that made these Mughal soldiers sleep to death?
