Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 868 Tunnel Warfare

Emperor Chongzhen's illness, of course, was his intentional rumor.As a result, as he expected, Aurangzeb and Abbas II finally decided to attack Delhi.

Generally speaking, in a siege battle, if there is no reinforcements from outside, the isolated city cannot be defended. This is common sense.

However, if the army in the city is strong enough, what if there is no reinforcement from outside?
At least facing the 25 troops outside, even if they looked overwhelming, the Ming troops in the city were not afraid.

Because the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty believe that as long as the emperor is there, they will be invincible!As a result, the self-confidence they showed affected the Dongwu and Mughal soldiers.In addition, during this period of time, they have been chasing Aurangzeb's army like sheep, which makes them even more confident.

When the coalition forces outside the city arrived, Emperor Chongzhen repeated his old trick, standing his emperor's guard of honor on the top of the city, and asked his subordinates to shout, and called Abbas II to come forward to answer.

This time, it was different from Aurangzeb's time.Abbas II is still very interested in the lunatic emperor of the Ming Dynasty.In addition, Aurangzeb was about to run away at any time, and Abbas II surrounded the Ming army.Therefore, after hearing the message, he also stepped forward, of course, at a safe distance, there is no doubt about it.

"Da Ming and the Persian Empire have no grievances, why did they lead troops to attack me?" On the top of the city, after finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen asked a row of microphones loudly.

After hearing this, Abbas II replied with a sneer: "Isn't it good for you to stay in your own country? You must come here to make people angry! Tell me, who is this to blame?"

"The Mughals dared to attack Daming and kill our Ming people, how could I spare them!" Emperor Chongzhen said sternly after hearing this, "I will give you another chance, before you do anything substantive , retreat immediately. Otherwise, I will lead my troops westward to destroy your nine clans, and Persia will be expelled from now on!"

To Abbas II, these words were extremely arrogant, and he did not believe that the emperor of Ming Dynasty really had this ability.As far as the current level is concerned, it is impossible for him to pass.

Therefore, when he heard it, he laughed and replied immediately: "It seems that you are really an arrogant person, and you can say such big words. Let's go through this level first! If you really have the ability, I will wait for you!" That's right!"

There was a conversation here, and Aurangzeb heard the report, of course he also ran over to gossip. When he heard this, he also laughed and said: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty really deserves to be an arrogant person. I don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, do you think Was Ben Khan really defeated before? It was a false defeat, and he just wanted to welcome you over, so now he is the turtle in the urn, right?"

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard Aurangzeb speak, he immediately shouted: "The bastard who killed the king and the father still has the face to show up, and he would be dirty if he scolded you. Just wait, I will cut you into pieces, as a warning for future generations." !"

When Aurangzeb heard this, he immediately became angry from embarrassment. After all, such a thing is disgraceful.

He didn't curse back, but immediately said to Abbas II: "This dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty is so arrogant, it's useless to talk too much, just take Delhi and use his head as a chamber pot!"

For Abbas II, of course he was also very disgusted with people who killed regicides and patricides. Therefore, in his heart, he also hated Aurangzeb and looked down upon him.But now he is in a state of cooperation, so he nodded and said: "Yes, it is useless to use words and tongues, let's see the truth!"

Speaking of this, Abbas II frowned, and asked again: "You are most familiar with Delhi, how do you think you can do it well?"

Aurangzeb heard this, turned his head to look at the figure of Emperor Chongzhen, sneered, and then turned back to Abbas II and said: "Of course I am familiar with Delhi. Before I withdrew a few days ago, the city has been Ben Khan has destroyed it. The most important thing is that Ben Khan knows that there is a secret way to enter the city!"

Hearing this, Abbas II was surprised at first, then overjoyed, he could not help clapping his hands and said, "Hehe, not bad, not bad, it's so good!"

"So, let's cover the city together from all sides!" Aurangzeb said proudly, "But you have to attack the city with elites, and you have to fight like a real fighter. Only in this way can you attract enough attention from the Ming army. Of course, Ben Khan must try to attack the city as much as possible. This is beyond doubt. When the battle is fierce, Ben Khan sends elites into the city through tunnels, attacking from inside and outside, so Delhi will be destroyed!"

Speaking of this, seeing that Abbas II didn't seem to agree immediately, he quickly added: "All the elite of Ben Khan are sent to the city, and outside the city, I can only trouble you. This is also fair. Yes or no?"

Hearing this, Abbas II was no longer silent, nodded and said: "Okay, then do this!"

Then, the two of them began to discuss the details.

........................

Whether it is Aurangzeb or Abbas II, even if they are killed, they will never expect that Emperor Chongzhen on the top of the city seems to be standing beside them, listening to them discussing the details .Their battle plan has no secrets at all from Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the wiretapping system, and after seeing that they had finished their discussions, Abbas II also confirmed to Aurangzeb: "Is the matter of the Secret Way kept secret enough?"

"Of course!" Aurangzeb said confidently after hearing this, "Only our Mughal Khan knows about this secret passage. The man is dead, and only Ben Khan knows about it."

The person he was talking about was naturally Shah Jahan.In addition, there are actually a few people who know that they are the eunuchs who guard the secret road in the palace.When Aurangzeb captured Shah Jahan and returned to Delhi, those eunuchs offered secret ways and took refuge in Aurangzeb.

After Aurangzeb and Abbas II finished their discussions, the two returned to their respective armies and began to deploy siege deployments.

However, when the two of them arranged for their subordinates, they deviated from the details they had discussed.

For example, Abbas II did not send his elite to attack the city.He is not stupid, the casualties of the siege must be huge, how could he kill his elite.

On Aurangzeb's side, he has indeed selected elites from the secret attack staff.But for those who were attacking the city outside, he told them that it would be fine if there was a lot of thunder and a little rain.When the city is on fire, start attacking the city with all your strength.

When the next day dawned, the army outside the city, after burying pots and making food and eating their stomachs, began to mobilize their troops. The sound of horns, the sound of horseshoes, and the sound of armor colliding were intertwined, and the atmosphere changed. You have to kill Xiao.

This kind of deployment of troops continued until almost noon, when the army outside the city, whether it was the Mughal army or the Safavid army, began to press on the city wall of Delhi, and the seemingly massive siege began.

"Boom boom boom..."

Where the battle took place, the mughal empire was in charge of the east and north sides, and the rumbling artillery sounded first.In other words, only they have heavy artillery with a long range.

After all, Delhi is the capital of the Mughal Empire, so there must be heavy artillery deployed.Since Aurangzeb decided to abandon the city, of course he would not leave the heavy artillery in the city.

On Abbas II's side, even if the nearest city is Lahore, it also has heavy artillery, but it can't pull the heavy artillery to Delhi, which is eight or nine hundred miles away.Not to mention, when Abbas II set off, he thought it was a field ambush, so he didn't need heavy siege artillery.

As for the Ming army, although Emperor Chongzhen had already decided to guard Delhi.However, the Hongyi cannon was too bulky to follow the army in pursuit of the enemy, so it was left to Zhang Huangyan.

In this way, only Aurangzeb is "booming".

However, the artillery of the Mughal army is obviously not very good, and it is comparable to the Ming army before Emperor Chongzhen crossed.The shells were fired either high or low, and the loading speed was extremely slow.

This made the triumphant Aurangzeb very angry. He bullied the city of Delhi that there was no artillery with a long range, and ordered his heavy artillery units to move forward so that they could hit more accurately.

Under the roar of the artillery, the infantry outside the city also began to attack with howls, because there were so many people and the sound was so loud that it almost overwhelmed the roar of the artillery.

However, in fact, most of the infantry rushed closer, and it was long-range units that fired at the Ming army on the top of the city. Not many infantry climbed the city with ladders. After all, this was the heaviest casualty.

In this way, the siege battle on the first day began with great momentum.

Aurangzeb was a little satisfied when he heard that Abbas II was also shouting and killing.But then, he heard the subordinates on the monitoring side running to say that Abbas II's side is the same as this side, focusing on long-range attacks, and before sending troops to climb the city to fight, he couldn't help cursing .

However, he actually knew in his heart that Abbas II must not be an honest man, and he would really act according to the agreement.But one thing is certain, as long as there is chaos in the city, Abbas II will definitely attack the city with all his strength.

Thinking of this in his heart, Aurangzeb looked at the top of the city of Delhi, where there were figures of Ming soldiers everywhere, so he recruited his elite troops and asked his eunuchs to lead them to attack from the tunnel.

However, he would never know that in the square of the imperial palace in the city, Emperor Chongzhen led an army, waiting quietly here.The leading general is Zhou Yuji, a powerful soldier.

In addition, there are piles of wood piles on the open space of the square and the open space of the street, and there are Ming army soldiers guarding each pile of wood.

Emperor Chongzhen saw the beginning of Aurangzeb's tunnel battle through the wiretapping system, so he said to Zhou Yuji: "Here we come, let's start preparing!"

If Da Lantai was here, he would definitely be surprised by Emperor Chongzhen's ability when he saw it with his own eyes.But Zhou Yuji didn't take it seriously, and immediately got the order, and left with some of his men to guard the entrance of the cave.

These holes, of course, were prompted by Emperor Chongzhen when he heard what Aurangzeb said there, and it took him some time to find them.
