Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 866 Tragedy
This battle was actually meaningless at all.

If the difference in strength is too large, the Mughal army is strong enough, and the Ming army will be defeated directly without the help of Abbas II's army.

And if the Ming army is strong enough, why are they acting with the Mughals? Just kill them directly.

But the problem now is that the two armies have certain strengths, and it is undeniable that the gap is not that big.

Therefore, the armies of both sides began to perform.

"Boom boom boom..."

Under the bombardment of the Hongyi cannons of the Ming army, although not many people were killed by the iron bullets, the momentum was scary, and the Mughal army in formation caused commotion.After the Ming army pressed up, the Mughal army began to retreat while fighting.

Da Lantai, who was waiting beside Emperor Chongzhen, saw him and quickly reminded Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the enemy army is afraid that they will be feigned defeat, so be careful!"

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help asking with a smile after hearing this, "How do you say it?"

"Look, Your Majesty!" Dalantai quickly pointed to the front and said, "The Mughal army used bows, arrows and muskets to shoot at their positions. Although the whole army retreated, it was not chaotic and the military order was smooth. This is not a defeat!"

"It makes sense!" Emperor Chongzhen listened, looked at the battle ahead, nodded and said, "Let's see again!"

On the battlefield, the Ming army was approaching and attacking in all directions.Just looking at the surface, it was really attacking like a dragon, as if he really saw that the enemy was about to retreat, so he pursued it.

The rumble of the cavalry was very powerful.

Gunshots were fired one after another, even if they were far away, they were all shooting, and the smoke filled the air, covering half of the battlefield.Just by listening, the feeling is quite intense.

"Your Majesty, be careful of the enemy's counterattack!" Da Lantai couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw this. According to his feeling during the process of driving eastward, the Ming army should not be like this. At this time, although he couldn't figure it out, he still reminded .

Emperor Chongzhen seemed to see the doubt in his brows, so he asked him with a smile: "Do you think that at such a distance, the cavalry has already accelerated to charge, and the musketeers have already fired. This is not like the previous ones." fighting?"

"Your Majesty is wise! I just don't want to understand!" Da Lantai replied quickly after hearing this.

This Ming army, not to mention the elite brought by Emperor Chongzhen himself, even those Mughal soldiers are actually veterans. How could they not know that they made low-level mistakes?
In other words, I have never seen this before, why is it like this now?It's not a new army, so it doesn't make sense to panic when you see a large army!

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the battlefield and saw that the Mughal army had retreated to the Zhumuna River area, so he said to Darantai: "It's actually very simple. The opponent didn't really want to fight, and we didn't really want to kill, so, That's it, everyone is acting!"

"..." Dalantai was speechless. How could this happen?Could it be that his troops knew what happened when he was in the rear army?

Feeling that Emperor Chongzhen was easy to talk to, Da Lantai finally couldn't help asking curiously: "Your Majesty, why is this?"

"Because..." Emperor Chongzhen said, pointing to the Mughal army, and then said, "They just want to fake defeat and attract us to pursue them."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Dalantai who was a little surprised, and said with a slight smile: "And I don't want to deal with them so quickly, I'll just do my tricks, just pretend I've been tricked by him, and pursue them all the way."

"This..." Dalantai was surprised for a moment after hearing this, and then confirmed: "Your Majesty, could there be a trap ahead?"

"Yes!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Abbas II of the Safi Dynasty is personally leading the army and waiting in front, preparing to ambush us!"

When Dalantai heard this, he was startled.Although he had never heard of Abbas II, since the emperor of a dynasty personally led the army, the force would definitely not be small.

When he thought of this, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and silently added a sentence in his heart: Except His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

If the combined military strength of the two countries is definitely much greater than this side.How to fight this battle?
In the art of war, it is necessary to use one's own superior force to fight against weaker enemies, and pay attention to using the strong to bully the weak.

Why does the emperor know that there is an ambush ahead, but he still has to catch up with all his tricks. Could it be that he is sure that he can defeat such a powerful enemy?

Thinking of this, he became a little anxious, and quickly asked: "Your Majesty, are you still chasing him?"

"Hehe, don't worry! The location of their ambush is preset to the west of Delhi, it's still early!" Emperor Chongzhen listened and said with a smile, "Then Aurangzeb didn't expect that I would stop suddenly, and he was not worried about letting that Abbas II led troops deep into Mughal territory."

Speaking of this, he looked into the distance and saw the Mughal army shooting arrows desperately to prevent the Ming army from approaching, and then the army hurriedly withdrew from the floating bridge on the river to the opposite bank.

Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen said: "It's still early to get to Delhi. Along the way, even if I pretend to beat them, I will definitely bite off a piece of their flesh!"

Hearing that the enemy's planned ambush was so far away, Da Lantai was relieved a lot.But suddenly, he was startled again. Could it be that the emperor had known the enemy's plan a long time ago, so he stopped here suddenly?
Thinking like this, he counted the time, and suddenly, his eyes looked straight at the profile of Emperor Chongzhen, as if he was seeing a god.

………………

In the ensuing battle, as Emperor Chongzhen said, the Mughal army began to retreat to the west, while the Ming army clung to it. Along the way, in order to slow down the attack of the Ming army, Aurangzeb had to send troops who were not direct descendants , All the non-elite troops came out.

Fleeing all the way west, when he fled to Delhi, there were only a few hundred thousand troops left under him.

Odom couldn't help being very surprised to see Aurangzeb in such a mess.In his imagination, His Royal Highness the third prince, no, the Mughal Khan is leading the army and fighting very powerfully!

Without waiting for Odom to speak, Aurangzeb asked in a low voice, "How is that man?"

When Odom heard this, he knew who he was referring to, and said quickly: "Don't worry, Khan, Wei Chen will be under strict supervision personally. There will be no accidents."

Aurangzeb heard this, with a sinister light in his eyes, and whispered: "Ben Khan will deal with the Ming army again outside the city, pretending that he cannot escape westward. When you see this situation, kill him. Then he abandoned the city to keep up. Speaking to the outside world, it means that the army attacked quickly, and he died in the hands of the Ming army."

Odom actually knew that Aurangzeb would kill Shah Jahan sooner or later, so he was not surprised when he heard it at this time, and he nodded in agreement.

After deploying the things he was most concerned about, Aurangzeb immediately turned around and sent an order to his confidants and generals, telling them to take the time to rest, and to play a show later.

………………

There is a building opposite the Taj Mahal, surrounded by soldiers and guards at every step.The same is true in the yard.The door on the second floor has been boarded up, even the windows.

Sunlight penetrated through the gaps and illuminated the room on the second floor.Inside was an old man with disheveled hair and dirty body. The stench could be smelled far away.

At this time, the old man was lying on the window, looking at the Taj Mahal opposite, just looking at it all day long.

It was only when Aurangzeb's army entered the city, with people shouting and neighing, and the noise was endless, that he looked away and listened attentively.But after just a moment, a hint of self-deprecation appeared on his face, and then he continued to look at the Taj Mahal opposite.

This old man is the former king of this empire and the current prisoner, Shah Jahan.

In the original history, Shah Jahan was also under house arrest in this room with a view of the Taj Mahal.During the five years of detention, Shah Jahan was accompanied only by his eldest daughter, Jahanala Begum.According to legend, Shah Jahan was thirsty and wanted to drink water, and Aurangzeb made him drink ink.

At that time, Shah Jahan was overthrown only because he was seriously ill. He was not in good health, so there was no need to worry that Shah Jahan would regain the throne. Aurangzeb treated him like this.

In this plane, Shah Jahan was in good health, so Aurangzeb naturally became more suspicious of him, and it was inevitable to defend him strictly.

When the sun was setting, the guards brought food and passed it through the gap in the window.

If it was the past, Shah Jahan knew that speaking was useless, and after experiencing the initial unwillingness, he also remained silent.However, this time, when he took the rice ball, he suddenly asked: "Is that bastard back? Listening to the movement, it seems that there are a lot of people missing?"

The guard listened, as always, ignored him, and left.

Shah Jahan wasn't angry either, he just leaned against the wall and slid down slowly, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't gobble it up because he was so hungry and panicked like before.

When night fell, Shah Jahan in the dark suddenly became furious, threw the rice ball in his hand to the ground, and then stomped on it with his feet, regardless of whether he stepped on it or not. Shouted: "Die, go to die, trample you to death, trample you to death..."

The soldiers guarding outside did not respond to this movement at all, allowing Shah Jahan to go crazy there.

The next morning, the Ming army arrived.Aurangzeb followed his own plan and went out to fight.

As for Odom, he also hurriedly prepared.The first thing to do is to deal with Shah Jahan. He came to this house in a hurry, checked the doors and windows, etc., and found that there was nothing wrong, so he ordered the door to be opened. It was time to send the old things on the road.

Shah Jahan ate, drank and lazed all in the room, the smell can be imagined.

Odom covered his mouth and nose, hid at the stairs, waited for the soldiers to remove the door, and then went to check on Shah Jahan himself.

But who knows, after hearing the sound of knocking down the door, Odom suddenly heard the exclamation of those soldiers.

When Odom heard this, he was immediately frightened. Could it be that Shah Jahan ran away?
