Chapter 917

Although the Ottoman army outside Lahore, including their servants, numbered more than [-], in terms of quantity, it was not much different from the Ming army.

However, in this situation, the Ottoman army was panicked, and more guesses were that their prime minister had already been wiped out. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for so many Ming troops to appear here, and even the Ming emperor had come.

Therefore, with the cooperation from inside and outside the Ming army, there were also rumors that Emperor Chongzhen was cheating or inside the enemy camp.In the end, some people in the Ottoman Empire army could not bear the pressure and escaped secretly that night.In the afternoon of the next day, under attack from inside and outside the Ming army, the entire army collapsed!
Almost the entire army of Wu Sangui's troops in Lahore was mobilized.There are tens of thousands of cavalry serving, basically hundreds of thousands of Ottoman troops, only a fraction of the number escaped.Of the remaining soldiers, less than 1 were killed, and the whole army surrendered.In fact, they couldn't escape the four-legged pursuit even if they wanted to escape.

When the two armies joined forces, the Ming army in Lahore was very excited. When they saw the reinforcements, they rushed to hug, not only people, but also horse legs.

The most difficult battle finally had a good result!
And Wu Sangui himself brought his generals directly to the place where the imperial flag was, and he knelt down on one knee excitedly, shouting from the bottom of his heart: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live! !"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't put on airs. Seeing them coming to pay respects, he got off his horse, went to help Wu Sangui and the others with a smile, and said, "Zhuqing has worked hard, I'm here!"

It's just such a simple sentence, I don't know why, Wu Sangui and the others have tears in their eyes, Your Majesty, it's so kind of you to come!

After some simple inquiries, Wu Sangui finally saw Li Laiheng next to him, and said happily, "You're fine, that's great!"

Although he couldn't see the battle under Li Laiheng's troops, there is no doubt that Li Laiheng's contribution was to the Ottoman army's separation from Lahore.Therefore, when Wu Sangui saw Li Laiheng at this time, he felt very kind!
"The commander-in-chief is fine, so I'm relieved!" Li Laiheng approached with a smile, and saluted Wu Sangui.

Emperor Chongzhen heard it from the side, and said with a smile: "Uncle Gangzhen led his Seventh Battalion of Steel to contain the enemy and relieve the pressure on Qing. I am very pleased. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty should Is such that!"

Hearing this, two question marks immediately popped up in Wu Sangui's mind: Who is Uncle Gangzhen?What is Steel Seventh Battalion?
But with his knowledge, he guessed it immediately.Li Laiheng was made an earl?His subordinates have individual numbers?this……

After being dazed for a while, he came back to his senses, and immediately congratulated Li Laiheng, his envy was beyond words.If you want to know that this can be done, you should have let Li Laiheng guard the city in the first place, and went to the periphery to support it yourself!
However, if this is really the case, it is not certain how this war will be fought!
Not to mention that Wu Sangui is not as good at guerrilla warfare as Li Laiheng, but in terms of his tenacity, he is probably not as strong as Li Laiheng.Not to mention that at the end, he saw that the fight could not go on, so he led his subordinates and ran away.If this is really the case, he might become the first general to be killed since Emperor Chongzhen led the army himself.

Of course, there are no absolutes. After all, it didn't happen, so what will happen can only be a mystery.

On Emperor Chongzhen's side, he immediately inspected the soldiers of the Ming army defending Lahore.Then, on the very next day, he led the army eastward.

On the Lahore side, Emperor Chongzhen still let Wu Sangui stay, and escorted the captives of the Ottoman Empire to do hard work, repair the farmland and water conservancy destroyed by them, open up wasteland and farm, build roads, etc.

If these captives are not put to good use, and if Lahore is not well managed, I will be sorry for the perseverance of the Ming soldiers here.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen himself did not stay in Lahore for a few more days was because he had "pretended" a class-A bugging seed on the emperor of the Persian Empire, Abbas II, and knew that the man was now showing off his might and bullying King Fu.

In addition, there are scouts from the Persian Empire in Lahore, who are watching the Ottoman Empire's attack on Lahore.Those scouting horses who fled will definitely rush to report at the fastest speed.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had to rush there earlier.

………………

That's right, at this time, Abbas II felt better after laying down a large territory with Delhi as the center.He believed that with the troops he left in the country and the important cities and towns, the Ming General Li Dingguo would definitely be unable to gnaw them away.However, on the side of the Ming Dynasty, he took down all the richest places, which is more or less a compensation.

After the Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire defeated the Ming army and captured Lahore, the Persian Empire would get a large piece of fertile land according to whoever defeated it.At that time, it would be the best to bring the victory back to the country and destroy that hateful general.

Now that the Ottoman army has not made any progress, Abbas II did not want to rob Lahore with them, so he set his sights on the Ming territory in the east.In the end, he led an army of [-] to attack.

To his delight, the Ming army here was vulnerable again.His army was so powerful that it drove the vassal of the Ming Dynasty to flee eastward, even his capital Gwalior was gone.

Regarding this, Abbas II was very happy. It turned out that the army of the Ming Dynasty was able to fight with only a few troops.This time, Ming Guo must be taught a harsh lesson.

Really, if I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have surrendered to the Ottoman Empire!
However, when Abbas II led the army to less than a hundred miles away from Gwalior, the capital of Fuguo, his scouts in Lahore caught up with him.

"What, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty led the army to kill Lahore?" Abbas II was so surprised that the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, his eyes widened, and he confirmed in horror, "Are you sure it is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not What princes or something?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty led at least [-] cavalry troops to kill him." The detective immediately replied panting, "When the villain saw the appearance of the emperor's leading troops, he knew that the Ottoman army must It's over, so I rushed to report it as soon as possible, and I ask your majesty to make a decision early."

After confirming the news, Abbas II was dumbfounded.

Back in the day, he thought that joining forces with Aurangzeb would definitely kill the Ming army and reap a lot of benefits.Unexpectedly, in the battle of Delhi, the Ming emperor easily wiped out Aurangzeb's troops. If he hadn't worked hard and dealt with it calmly, he would have been defeated by the city of Delhi with Aurangzeb.

However, although he escaped under the city of Delhi, with his strength not less than that of the Ming army, he was led by the Ming emperor on the way to retreat, hanging like a lingering ghost.To be honest, about this matter, even after Abbas II fled back to his country, he would still wake up from nightmares.

Therefore, if Abbas II were asked to name the enemy he was least willing to face and feared most at this time, it would definitely be Emperor Chongzhen without a doubt.

At this time, hearing that Emperor Chongzhen appeared with the army appearing like a ghost again, how could Abbas II have the courage to continue attacking the Ming Kingdom, even if the capital of Fuguo was not far in front of him, even if the Ming army in front of him was vulnerable, He couldn't care less.

After regaining his senses, he immediately asked about the specific situation of Tanma, and after making a calculation in his mind, he immediately ordered to return to the teacher.

His return to the division was not to return to Delhi, and he didn't even want the trophies hoarded in Delhi before.Because he knew that if he hurried back to Delhi, in terms of distance, it would be about the same distance as Lahore to Delhi.

Abbas II did not believe how long the Ottoman army in Lahore could hold back the Ming emperor!After all, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty came from the north and appeared in the rear of the Ottoman army, which means that it is very likely that the northern army of the Ottoman Empire has already been wiped out by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

If he hadn't fought against the Ming emperor, he might not have believed that with the power of the Ottoman Prime Minister Koprulu, he would be defeated by the Ming army.

But at this time, he has absolutely no doubts.If you don't escape at this time, you won't have the good luck of last time, and you can escape back to your country.

At this moment, he didn't even have time to regret it, so he led his men and hurried back to the country.

………………

On the side of King Fu, at this time, while fleeing eastward, he was complaining to King Tang who was driving in the same car: "Didn't you say that you are going to be brave and rectify your troops and horses to expand the territory? How can you say that you just run away?" You even brought in the Persian army, causing Gu to withdraw with you! Look, it’s such a blessed country, and Gu didn’t enjoy it for many days before he was ruined by you!”

Hearing this, Tang Wang was also depressed, and he said bitterly: "I can't blame you, it's all because the imperial army is useless, especially that Li Dingguo, who left the Persian army alone, and I will go to the book to impeach him later. !"

Although he is already a vassal prince with military and political power, he has no binding force on the commander-in-chief directly under the imperial court, let alone punish him.The only thing that can be done is to hope that Emperor Chongzhen will uphold justice.

After hearing this, King Fu said angrily: "Okay, I will report to the emperor and make Li Dingguo pay the price."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something, and added: "Let's talk to King Meng, and he will definitely follow us to impeach him. Haha, if our weight is not enough, the emperor's own son will impeach him, look. Will Li Dingguo die or not?"

Zhu Cizhao, who was named King of Meng, became a vassal of Meng.His weight must be different from Tang Wang and Fu Wang.At this point, at least the two of them think so.

While they were talking, they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside, and then someone reported from outside the carriage: "Your Highness, King Meng's messenger has arrived."
