Chapter 847
Turning around the mountain pass, just as Jimuda expected, he saw that the Mughal capital Delhi in the distance had been surrounded by Daming.However, the Mughal flag is still flying above the city of Delhi. From the look of it, the fighting should not have started yet.

Finally arrived in time!Da Lantai thought in his heart, but found that a cavalry army was galloping towards this side, and it was not far away.The first one seems to be a general.

"This... is this here to welcome you?" Da Lantai couldn't help thinking in amazement, how did he know that his side would lead the army to arrive at this time?
Because it was a hasty march, there were still soldiers rushing behind Da Lantai.But the envoy of Ming Dynasty was with him naturally, and of course he also saw the cavalry coming over. After taking a closer look, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly shouted: "Marshal Zhou, Marshal Zhou..."

Marshal is the title of the general of the Ming Army.Dalantai knew this, so he couldn't help but feel a little flattered that a commander-in-chief came to greet him.

The one who came to greet him was Zhou Yuji, who had been appointed as one of the chief soldiers of the Hussar Battalion. The Ming envoy was sent from the palace, so he naturally knew him.At this time, he had already come to the front, he reined in his horse and cupped his fists with a smile and said: "I have seen the imperial envoy! This is His Highness the Third Prince? Your Majesty ordered me to come and greet you all!"

The envoy of Daming heard this, nodded quickly, and introduced them to each other by the way.

Then, without waiting for the people behind, they went to Delhi first.No matter what, since Da Lantai had already arrived, he naturally wanted to meet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty immediately.

"You are finally here, otherwise, you would not have your share in Delhi!" Zhou Yuji smiled and turned to the envoy of Ming Dynasty and Dalan Tai.

Among them, the envoy of Ming Dynasty is the most respected, representing Emperor Chongzhen, so he walks in the middle.

Da Lantai heard that, turned his head past the envoy of Ming Dynasty, looked at Zhou Yuji, and asked in surprise: "Derry is about to be breached? How many days has it been?"

Zhou Yuji shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It was only surrounded, not attacked. But the emperor said that the city will only be broken in these two days."

"..." Dalantai was speechless when he heard this.After so many days, they just besieged and did not attack, so why did the Emperor Ming say that the city was only broken in these two days?
He had doubts, but the envoy of Ming Dynasty had no doubts at all, and immediately laughed and said: "It's fortunate that we marched here in a hurry, no, we really caught up!"

Well, you all trust your emperor so much, if I show a little bit of doubt, it would be disrespectful to Emperor Ming.Thinking of this in his heart, Dalantai could only agree with him with a smile.

Deep down in his heart, of course, he didn't quite believe it.After all, Delhi was the capital of the Mughal Empire and one of the strongest cities of the Mughals.If you haven't attacked once, can you guarantee that you can attack it?hanging!
………………

About half an hour later, Da Lantai arrived at the camp outside the city of Delhi, where he was received by Emperor Chongzhen.

After Da Lantai saw the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen cordially expressed condolences to Gushi Khan's health, and then said to him: "You have done a good job. The loss of the troops in the headquarters is not much, but it can make a big fuss in the northeast of the Mughal Empire. Let Mo Wo'er's Shashuja's troops ran back and forth, and finally created a fighting opportunity for me. Therefore, I deliberately waited for you to arrive before taking Delhi."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Da Lantai didn't believe it, but immediately responded to Emperor Chongzhen's words without any hesitation.

Emperor Chongzhen then also commended the emissary he sent to the Heshuo Special Department. He was one of the eight people he trained from the Neishutang at the beginning, and named him the eunuch of the Rites and Bingbi.

Afterwards, he said seriously to the generals below: "If my predictions are correct, Shah Jahan of the Mughals will arrive in Delhi in about three to six days. Therefore, you are preparing to attack the city tonight." .”

"The last general obeys orders!" After hearing this, many generals clasped their fists and received the order with loud voices.

Among them, of course, Darante was also included.But he was surprised in his heart.Because he found that no matter what he heard from others or seeing Emperor Chongzhen with his own eyes, he always felt that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty seemed to be very confident in doing things, and what was right was what he counted?
Really so powerful?

Da Lantai thought so in his heart, but he was not in a hurry. Didn't the Emperor Ming say that Shah Jahan of the Mughals would come soon, and the Ming army would attack the city tonight, so just wait and see!
Afterwards, he accepted the order and went to arrange the camp for his subordinates.

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

He knew when Shah Jahan's side would depart from Bombay.Then based on the learned conditions on the road from Bombay to Delhi, an estimate was made based on the highest and best speed of the cavalry, and the previously announced conclusion was reached.

As for Delhi, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen arrived, he chose the Mughal generals who appeared on the top of the city, as well as civil servants and so on. Anyway, he saw who would have a higher official position, so he scattered a bunch of C-level wiretapping seeds. .

In the past few days, although he did not attack the city, he had a clear understanding of the situation in the city.

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

Don't look at Delhi as the capital of the Mughal Empire, but when Shah Jahan set off on the expedition, he had already taken away part of the elite.When Shashuja went to the Northeast, he also took some elites with him.After returning to the teacher, I thought about fighting the Emperor Daming, so I took some more.

After going back and forth like this, the strength of the troops in Delhi is actually not much.

These days, Emperor Chongzhen didn't really just besiege the city and then do nothing.Instead, make the gesture of attacking the city at any time, and the possibility of attacking the city is adjusted according to the tension of the defenders in the city.It can be said that he has been pulling the tense string of the defenders in the city tightly.

In addition, when nothing happened, they also asked the Mughals to shout in unison into the city, shouting about what to do after the city was broken.Just this matter of uniting the middle and lower classes to fight against the local tyrants has been talked about so much that it has spread in the city.

Under the strong pressure of the Ming army outside the city, and under the tension of the dignitaries in the city, there have been several tension transitions to forcibly suppress some soldiers and untouchables who seemed to want to rebel.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen was confident that he would attack Nacheng at night was because the defenders at the southeast corner of the city head had slept lazily for two consecutive days after midnight.

Da Lantai's troops had just rushed to the city today. From the perspective of the defenders at the top of the city, they must rest for a whole day or two before attacking the city.In other words, the Ming army has not attacked the city, and it may be waiting for this army.Then in a day or two, it is estimated that the dangerous defense of Delhi will begin.In this case, take the time to rest now.

Emperor Chongzhen not only guessed this kind of mentality, but now, he has also confirmed it through the information fed back by the numerous C-level wiretapping seeds in the wiretapping system.

So, on the surface, on this day, the Ming army outside the city seemed to have given up threatening the city, and they all went to welcome the new army, and there was a lot of trouble, and then they camped and brought supplies, and it seemed that there was a celebration party What, it was fun to watch.

The defenders on the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it.

At around [-]:[-] in the morning, that is, at [-] o'clock in the morning, Emperor Chongzhen personally led the Ming soldiers who had been selected for the night attack to the southeast corner of Delhi quietly.

Just like the previous two days, the defenders on this part of the city wall were still very lax, almost falling asleep again.

The sunrise time in Delhi is around 06:30 in the morning. It can be said that people are most sleepy at four or five o'clock in the morning.

After Emperor Chongzhen reconfirmed the situation on the city wall through the wiretapping system, he personally deployed the details of stealing the city.The main point is to point out where there are people on the top of the city and how many people there are.

After explaining everything, he said to the leader Li Laiheng: "In the battle of Delhi, the first victory will be given to Qing, and I will be waiting for your good news!"

After hearing this, Li Laiheng immediately led his generals to pay a military salute, and replied in a low voice but solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the first achievement will be finalized!"

Then, he led his soldiers into action quietly.

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

In the past, although he seemed very confident, as if he didn't take the Derry defenders seriously, but at the beginning, he was very serious and didn't dare to be careless.

But others couldn't see it, they just saw that after the operation started, Emperor Chongzhen sat in the military tent with his eyes closed and rested, as if he didn't care about the outside situation at all.

This self-cultivation during the battle is worthy of the emperor!

The original [-] cavalry troops brought by Emperor Chongzhen were the elite of the Ming army.Emperor Chongzhen then selected a few hundred elites from the [-], requiring no night blindness, proficient in cold weapon warfare, quick hands, brave and brave, and it was not difficult.

Li Laiheng knew how to steal a city when he was a thief, so this operation was very familiar.In the beginning, he was so cautious.

Unexpectedly, when he went up to the top of the city with his flying claws and got to the side of the defenders at the top of the city, he could still see the group of Mughal soldiers still soundly asleep.This made him a little embarrassed, should we attack him directly or wake him up first before sending him home?
While doing it, Li Laiheng couldn't help but feel that the emperor is so powerful that the defenders here are so sleepy!Just thinking about this, he was suddenly startled again. Could it be that the emperor turned into sleepy bugs to make these Mughal soldiers fall into a deep sleep?
