Chapter 870

Hearing the rapid beating of war drums, when Aurangzeb was thinking about what the Ming army on the city wanted to do, he saw one of his men running over to him angrily and reported: "Sweat profusely, there is thick smoke coming out of the tunnel." smoke, only about [-] escaped from it..."

Hearing this, Aurangzeb immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the tunnel entrance.Sure enough, at this time, although he was far away, he could see thick smoke rising.From this we can see how much smoke there is in the tunnel!

Suddenly, he turned his head to look in the direction of the palace in the city, and he was extremely shocked: Judging from the time when the thick smoke penetrated the entire tunnel, it seems that when he sent elite soldiers to the city, the city had already made these preparations?That is to say, the Ming army already knew the existence of this tunnel?
Thinking of this, Aurangzeb couldn't help being furious.He was basically certain in his heart that the eunuch should have betrayed him a long time ago, otherwise, the Ming army would not have known such a hidden tunnel exit.

Pity that eunuch, he died for him, but he was still suspected, his death was in vain!
At this time, there was another movement in the direction of Delhi, and Aurangzeb quickly turned his head to look.I saw that the city gate, which was pressing tightly, was slowly opening.In the slowly opening city gate hole, there is a bright light reflected.

Aurangzeb narrowed his eyes, and when he was about to see clearly, he saw the light move.When he saw it clearly, he was shocked.

Those who came out of the city were the Ming cavalry, tall horses, burly soldiers, men and horses, covered with armor reflecting light.Just looking at it from a distance, you can know that the armor's defense strength is definitely very strong.

From the moment they left the city gate, the armored heavy cavalry had been slowly picking up speed, and the soldiers were pointing at the Mughal troops who were retreating.

That's right, among the more than 2 cavalry led by Emperor Chongzhen, there were [-] heavy armored cavalry, and these [-] heavy armored cavalry have never been used.Now, it's finally their turn.

The flag of Ming Dynasty was fluttering, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes became more and more urgent. From a sudden look, it looked like several moving iron walls, hitting the retreating enemy faster and faster.

Behind the five hundred heavy armored cavalry, ten thousand light cavalry followed.Divided into two city gates, they filed out, just like two long dragons heading straight for the Mughal army.

In a hurry, those Mughal siege troops who were behind and had no time to escape gathered together in a desperate struggle.

However, what the armored heavy cavalry is for is to charge the battle.After sprinting, there is nothing that flesh and blood can stop.Those Mughal troops who had assembled in a hurry were washed away like paper.

With iron hooves like thunder, they continued to pursue the Mughal siege troops who had fled in the desert.It's like groups of prairie lions chasing their prey.

Seeing this, Aurangzeb couldn't help being frightened out of his wits.

Originally, his army had suffered heavy losses due to the siege of the city, and just when it was about to withdraw to rest, the Ming army actually used armored heavy cavalry as the spearhead to launch a cavalry charge.With such a powerful charge, even if the two armies are facing each other, it is difficult to fight, let alone when they are retreating here.

"Quick, war elephant, where is the war elephant, come on the war elephant!" Aurangzeb shouted as if he was crazy.

At this time, perhaps only the war elephant troops can stop the Ming army, so that he can gather his troops and reorganize the team.

However, the war elephants sent out were dispersed by the "enemies of ten thousand people" dropped on the head of Derry.The war elephants that were not sent out were kept in captivity in the camp behind. After all, who would have thought how many war elephants would be used in a siege battle.

At this moment, Aurangzeb's crouching is of no use at all.The Daming Cavalry Army who left the city in two routes drove away the Mughal soldiers who fled in fear, letting them influence more enemies.On the entire battlefield, there was no resistance at all, only massacres, one-sided massacres!

In the city of Delhi, after the cavalry troops left, they followed the infantry out of the city. Under the advance of the soldiers, those Mughal soldiers who escaped the charge of the cavalry by chance could no longer be spared.

On the other end, Abbas II, like Aurangzeb, is also ordering the withdrawal of troops.He was feeling sorry for the heavy casualties of the siege troops when he heard loud noises coming from the two directions where the Mughal army was in charge.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes that caused the ground to vibrate, and the sound of killing that resounded through the sky, Abbas II felt a little puzzled at first, and then immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to check the situation.At the same time, he accelerated the speed of gathering the army.

In fact, before the people he sent to see the situation came back to report, one of his men came to report: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the Ming army came out of the city to launch a surprise attack, and the Mughal army was defeated!"

"What?" Abbas II was shocked when he heard it, and quickly ordered: "Hurry up, get the army ready for war!"

Immediately, he made a decision, no matter what, the Mughal army must not be defeated.If that was the case, he would have to bear the decisive battle with the Ming army alone.

At the same time as the decree was issued, he drove the horses and ran over to check the situation.

But before he could go around the city, he heard the people next to him shout again: "Your Majesty, there is something strange happening in the Ming army. The Ming army is leaving the city..."

Hearing this, Abbas II quickly turned his head to look, and sure enough, he found that the two Delhi gates he was facing had been opened, and the Ming army inside was rushing out.

Seeing this situation, Abbas II quickly ordered again to stop the army moving towards the Mughal army and wait for it, so that the Ming army could not take the opportunity to attack.

The continuous movement made the morale of the Persian army, which had been frustrated in the siege, drop a lot invisibly, and the hasty execution of the army seemed a bit chaotic.

Just as the Persian army was adjusting, there was a lot of movement from their side.

Abbas II heard the sound and looked, and saw countless soldiers of the Mughal army, without any organizational system, running towards them with their feet loose.Behind these Mughal fugitives were rows of Ming cavalry, chasing and killing them.

Seeing this scene, how could Abbas II not know what was going to happen next, he was shocked, and quickly ordered that the Mughal fugitives must not be allowed to attack the army formation, and those who dared to attack the army formation should be shot.

However, the Ming cavalry, at this time, were already driven by Qingqi, and they wanted to drive these defeated soldiers to the side of the Persian Empire army. It was intentional, so how could it be so easy to change the trend of fleeing.

Although Abbas II's subordinates continued to warn and even started shooting the Mughal soldiers who fled the fastest, a large number of Mughal soldiers fled to them, driven by the Ming cavalry. past.

In the direction of Delhi, the Daming infantry had also left the city, and after regrouping, they began to move under the cover of the remaining cavalry.Apparently, as soon as the Mughal fugitives broke through the ranks of the Persian Empire troops, they would jump on them.

Seeing this situation, Abbas II couldn't care less about wiping his sweat, and immediately gave orders in succession.

On the top of the city of Delhi, Emperor Chongzhen was watching from the top of the city.

Because he knew that the morale of the Mughal army would not be high under the continuous pursuit of the Ming army.Deep down in his heart, fear of the Ming army will also form.In the case of heavy losses in the siege, and knowing that the army they attacked through the tunnel failed, the morale will be even lower.

At this time, it is absolutely no problem to send cavalry and infantry with armored heavy cavalry as arrows to attack while the Mughal siege troops retreat.

Therefore, he didn't care about that side, and came to look at the Persian Empire, to see if he could defeat the Persian army in one fell swoop.

But this time, Emperor Chongzhen was disappointed.

That Abbas II is obviously the master of ZTE of the Persian Empire, and he still has the ability.Under his command, he retreated slowly, resisting the impact of the Mughal's defeat, and kept the formation stable.

Seeing that there were not many opportunities, Emperor Chongzhen was not annoyed. He just smiled and ordered the army outside the city to sweep away the remnants of the Mughal army and return to the city.

This battle definitely crippled Aurangzeb's army, and it should not pose much of a threat to the Ming army in the future.The rest is to solve the Persian Empire army.

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

At this time, Aurangzeb was really fine. Seeing that it was useless to organize a counterattack, he fled immediately.

In the evening, the Ming army withdrew its troops and returned to the city.It was only at this time that he came out from his hiding place, raised his king's banner, and summoned those fleeing subordinates to gather under his banner.

Until the next morning, Aurangzeb's men failed to exceed the number of tens of thousands.Looking at the corpses scattered all over the city, he knew in his heart that not even half of his subordinates were really dead, and most of them escaped and never came back.

Now, there is another thorny problem waiting for him to solve.After hearing Odom's report, Aurangzeb turned his head to look at the Persian Empire army camp far away from Delhi.If it was before, he would definitely go there by himself.But now, with less than [-] troops left, he lost the confidence and finally sent Odom over.

About half an hour later, Odom finally met Abbas II and felt the change in his attitude. He finally plucked up the courage to make a request.

"What? Ask me for food?" Abbas II said angrily when he heard it, "This is the Mughals, and I am a guest army. It's not like you are already asking for food, but you are still thinking about it?" Ask me for food?"

He knew it would be difficult to get food, but Odom had to bite the bullet and said: "Yesterday's battle, if you hadn't killed so many of our soldiers, we wouldn't have been completely defeated. We couldn't save the camp and were robbed by the Ming army. …”

"Ah..." Abbas II was so grown up, and he had never seen such an unreasonable person. Suddenly, he was so angry that he burst out laughing.

"Hehehe..."
