Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 575 Aurangzeb's Burning Platform
The decisive battle between the Mughal Empire and the Ming Empire on the Ganges Plain actually did not proceed in the way both sides thought, and many unexpected things happened.

The two most populous empires on earth, each assembled their own troops to fight on open terrain, is also a very eye-catching thing. Hearing that Ming and Mughal started a war, many military observers from Europe went to India, this is the best opportunity to understand the real military strength of Ming Dynasty and measure the development of modern military tactics and theories.

The "reckless advance" of the Ming army exposed its logistics supply line to the Mughal army. Aurangzeb led his army to fight back and intercepted the rear of the Ming army, realizing his combat purpose of taking the rear route.In order to avoid losses, Ming's supply convoy has suspended the delivery of military supplies to friendly forces in the west. This has resulted in about 5 troops of the Fan Army and about 12 people of the 6th Army, with a total of 11 troops of the Ming Dynasty, in a state of low security.

However, the Ming army is used to dealing with supply issues in advance, so the weapons, ammunition and rations of the 11 troops are actually enough for them to last for more than two weeks.

However, the first point that the Mughal Empire did not take into account was that the Ming Dynasty had realized the use of a huge fleet of transport planes to directly transport a large amount of supplies to the front line.The Daming Yun-3 large transport aircraft can transport 12 tons of cargo, and Daming has invested a total of more than 70 Yun-3 large transport aircraft on the Indian battlefield this time.

The cost of using transport planes to transport goods is actually not much higher than that of land transportation with extremely poor road conditions, and it is not affected by the Mughal army at all. The Mughal army is completely incapable of intercepting air targets at this time.

Therefore, Ming's supplies were not particularly affected by the actions of the Mughal army.

The second thing that the Mughal army did not expect was that after discovering the traces of the Mughal army, the Ming army moved very quickly. Bai Mingxiu immediately mobilized most of the 12th Army, the main force of the Ming army, and the Indian model brigade. After the maneuver, the join forces with the follow-up Fan army troops have been realized, and the follow-up Fan army troops have also continuously mobilized their troops forward, which formed a squeeze on the Mughal army.

Aurangzeb now had a headache, and he frowned as he looked at the sand table in front of him.

"The current plan must be to prevent the two armies of the Ming army from joining forces. If they join forces, they may have more troops than our army, and the advantage in equipment will be greater. Now we must eat one arm first, and then try to fight the other arm. Make rounds and look for opportunities to win." After all, Aurangzeb is a talented and bold emperor. If his opponent is not Ming, maybe he will be very promising. During his reign, the territory of the Mughal Empire reached its peak. , but like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was also the beginning of the Mughal Empire's turn from prosperity to decline.

His adviser suggested to Aurangzeb: "Your Majesty, the Ming army is strong, especially its local army. All the latest and most powerful equipment are given priority to their local army. And this time the Ming army is even more powerful." An entire army group was mobilized to fight in India, and they were obviously the elite among them. Judging from the situation, the Ming army's local army, which lacked supplies, was actually more difficult. The longer they were delayed, the more obvious their combat level would decline, and The Bengal vassal army is just a group of servants who vassalized the Ming Dynasty. Their strength is limited. As long as Your Majesty can lead the army to defeat it, you can still get their weapons and equipment and collect most of the Ming army's supplies. At this time, you can return to attack the Ming Dynasty. The local army can naturally win in one battle."

After hearing this, Aurangzeb felt that the counselor's views were very pertinent and reasonable, and was deeply satisfied, so he rewarded him.

Walking out of his military tent, Aurangzeb came to an execution ground. At this time, his expression had become extremely gloomy.

"Have those traitors been brought together?" Aurangzeb asked an officer.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the nobles and officials who took refuge in the Ming army have been captured by us."

The execution ground was filled with thousands of people no matter what, almost everyone was crying and crying towards Aurangzeb.

"Your Majesty, I just have to. If you don't make false claims with the Ming army, your whole family will be killed by them." A local Hindu prince cried to Aurangzeb.

Aurangzeb said with a cold face, "It doesn't matter. If the Ming army doesn't kill your whole family, Gu will kill your whole family. Gu hates you heretics who don't know how to be loyal and ethical. Without the influence of God, You really can’t be trusted, well, this time, you will be completely burned to death to purify your crimes.”

"Don't, don't!" These local nobles cried loudly, but they were all bound by various chains, like a group of animals waiting to be slaughtered.

Aurangzeb ordered people to set up fire stakes one by one, with fuel such as hay and dead wood underneath. The fierce Mughal soldiers directly put these Hindu princes and nobles on the fire stake like stacked arhats, so that Each stake can execute more people.This scene is very similar to the trains of later generations in India, with people everywhere and all kinds of stoppers hanging.

"Burn them!"

When Aurangzeb's order came down, flames began to burn under each of the stakes, and all the executed people let out howls of pain, which were extremely pleasing to Aurangzeb's ears.

"Damn heretics, it is blasphemy to keep you alive!" Aurangzeb has always hated these non-religious princes. The entire empire began to fall apart.

The smell of barbecue began to permeate, and the scorched human corpse was dripping oil in the flames. Aurangzeb thought: "The emperor from the Ming Dynasty and his soldiers are also a group of heretics without gods. If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is tied up On the burning platform, watching him burn in the raging fire, what kind of joyful thing would it be, hahahahaha!"

After burning the princes and nobles who betrayed him, Aurangzeb was in a good mood and his self-confidence was also improved. It seemed that he had really done something that was very beneficial to his physical and mental health.

"The whole army is preparing to move east. We must defeat the Bengal vassal army before the Ming Dynasty's native army comes back. I want to use the corpses of thousands of Bengal soldiers as a gift to the Ming Dynasty emperor to let him Knowing that the Mughal Empire cannot be defeated, let him swallow the bitter pill of defeat!"

The 16 Mughal army began to march under the leadership of Aurangzeb, with great hopes of victory, and their movements have been clearly seen by the Ming reconnaissance plane hovering at an altitude of several thousand meters .
