Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 905
Aurangzeb did not live in the city, but in the large tent of the Chinese army set up outside the city.According to his own meaning, it means sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

But needless to say, his Chinese military tent is naturally the most luxurious.

As soon as he arrived in Asansol, he held the first military meeting, and there were as many as a hundred generals present at the meeting.Of course, the governor of the Netherlands, Kui Yi, is also listed, but unlike other generals, he is given a chair to sit on.

A huge map of Bagalpur hung there, and Shasta Khan, Aurangzeb's confidant, was introducing the military situation.

I just heard him say loudly: "According to the information obtained, the Ming army in Bagalpur has a maximum of 8 people, of which [-] are navy troops, and there are as many as [-] warships docked on the Ganges River. Two hundred of them are warships."

"The city wall of Bhagalpur is not high. The Ming army did not reinforce and heighten the city defenses. However, they built parapets around the city wall, dug trenches, and placed barbed wire everywhere. If the cavalry charge directly, they will suffer heavy losses! "

"Now that our army has surrounded Bhagalpur, His Majesty ordered that this Ming army must not be allowed to escape. Therefore, we must first burn down the warships of the Ming army, so that they have no chance to escape back to Dhaka along the Ganges by boat! "

"On land, after the heavy artillery arrives, pull them to the shore and bombard Bagalpur, blast away all the barbed wire fences and female walls arranged by the Ming army, and then bombard the city walls of Bagalpur to make a way for the army to attack!"

"On the Ganges, the small boats solicited this time were all piled with firewood, and the large boats carried the soldiers of the water war. First set fire to the boats, and burn down a large number of Ming warships docked at the water gate of Bagalpur. Then the sailors covered up and killed them, completely annihilating the Ming navy and cutting off their escape route!"

"Afterwards, Lu Lu launched another attack to ensure that the current Ming army will be wiped out in one battle!"

After Shasta Khan explained the offensive tactics arranged by Aurangzeb, he dropped his hands and stepped aside, and everyone turned to look at their emperor.

Holding the hilt of his sword, Aurangzeb walked to the map in a majestic manner, and asked loudly, "Who has anything to add to my tactics?"

It has to be said that, at least in the conventional sense, the tactics he arranged are very targeted.There are as many as a hundred of his generals who are discussing, but no one has any other suggestions, they just echo one by one, saying something like His Majesty's wisdom.

Even Kui Yi next to him felt that this style of play was the best, let the Ming army also taste the aggrievedness of their Dutch back then!

Hehe, on land, there are countless troops that surround Bhagalpur three layers in and three layers out. If the Ming army wants to break through the encirclement, they just stand still and let the Ming army kill them, and they will probably be exhausted to death!
On the Ganges, the ships collected by the Mughal Empire were absolutely useless in naval battles, but they were the best for setting fires.

Back then, in the Naval Battle of Liaoluo Bay between the Netherlands and the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong also bullied them with too many ships, and set fire to the Dutch warships, causing heavy losses to the Dutch warships.Now setting fire on the Ganges is definitely better than setting fire on the sea!
After the Ming navy was destroyed, heavy artillery was also deployed on both sides of the Ganges. Even if the downstream Ming army wanted to reinforce, it would definitely not be easy. Not to mention, facing so many Mughal Empire troops, Ming If the army just reinforces a little bit of troops, what's the use?And the Ming army wants to reinforce more troops, this place is very far away from the Ming country, even if they want to reinforce more, it may be impossible!

In this battle, maybe only the Dutch artillery is needed to fight, and it will be stable!
He was thinking, on Aurangzeb's side, seeing that there was no one to add, he spoke loudly with complacency, and began to name and deploy specific combat matters in response to the combat plan just now.

When the generals heard his roll call, they immediately stood up to receive combat missions.In just a short while, a large group of people stood up.

Obviously, Aurangzeb's battle against Bagalpur had actually been planned for a long time before the combat missions were deployed so smoothly.

After the deployment was completed, Aurangzeb turned serious and shouted: "This battle must be decided in one battle. Otherwise, millions of troops will eat horses and eat horses, which will consume too much money and food. If I find out that I am too timid to kill I will kill them!"

He had already planned that after destroying the Ming army in front of him in one go, he would start to divide his troops to destroy his two older brothers, and then he would lead the troops to continue the attack and destroy the Ming army in Dhaka along the way. Good to get these things done before the rainy season arrives.

Facing his strict order, hundreds of generals in the Chinese army's tent responded with a loud roar. The momentum was so loud that it spread far and wide, and many people outside the Chinese army's tent heard the sound and looked over.

In the next two days, the army began to prepare for the battle according to Aurangzeb's intentions.

All the soldiers of the Mughal Empire were very relaxed.They didn't even set up camp, because in their view, the army of one million came, the Ming army didn't even have 10 people, and the city wall of Bagalpur was not high enough. This battle was definitely stable.

It depends on the first battle, and then you have to go to other places to fight, so just make do with camping.

These soldiers of the Mughal Empire looked at the flag of Ming Dynasty fluttering above the city in the distance, and they talked very easily one by one.

"You said, did the people of the Ming Dynasty have been frightened into stupidity? Our million-strong army came here, and they didn't even know how to escape?"

"It should be that those officials dare not run away, right? It is said that the emperor of Ming Dynasty is a murderer without blinking an eye. If he dares to escape back, he will definitely be killed!"

"Then they won't die if they stay here, isn't it still a dead word?"

"You can surrender! Your Majesty may spare their lives!"

"That can't be done. If they surrendered, where did we get the credit? This battle is sure, so it would be a pity not to take the opportunity to get some credit?"

"That's right, it's best if these Ming troops don't surrender. But then again, there are not even 10 people in this city, and there aren't enough heads!"

"..."

The Mughal Empire was a military empire. From the court to the local government, they were basically military aristocrats, and their desire for military merit was absolutely great.

At this time, all the Mughal Empire troops were dreaming, thinking that they could easily destroy the Ming army in Bagalpur and share some military merits.He even felt that his military achievements might not be enough, so he was rushing to attack the Ming army.

As the military conference in Aurangzeb ended, the troops who had received the mission were like a festival up and down, full of joy, singing and dancing.And those who didn't receive the task, or were just doing odd jobs, all of them were depressed, as if their parents were dead.

Two days later, after the Mughal Empire army finished their battle preparations, they saw densely packed boats lined up in the upper reaches of the Ganges River, filling the river surface, and the number of arson boats alone reached as many as two hundred.

These arson boats are full of inflammable materials.In addition to the hot weather here, it is foreseeable that as long as these arsonist ships collide with the warships of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely ignite the warships of the Ming Dynasty.

Aurangzeb was very satisfied with this, and his only worry was that the Ming warships would escape.If it is said that the warships of the Ming Dynasty fled downstream one after another after the arsonist ship was ignited, they could theoretically escape until the arsonist ship was burned, and then return to engage in water battles.

In order to prevent this from happening, under the personal inspection of Aurangzeb, the deployment of the arson ship was carried out in secret, making the navy of the Ming Dynasty think that this is the warship that will fight with the navy of the Ming Dynasty .

In addition, he also sent an army of [-] long-range weapons to go around to the downstream side to ambush them quietly, instead of letting the troops responsible for sniping the reinforcements of the Ming army downstream to intercept them.It must be ensured that the Ming army in Bhagalpur is the turtle in the urn. First solve the warships of the Ming Dynasty, and then take Bhagalpur.

Aurangzeb received a report from his subordinates, saying that everything was ready, and he waited for His Majesty the Emperor to order an attack.

Therefore, Aurangzeb found a high place on the earth mountain with a good view, and took Kuiyi and others to watch the upcoming exciting battle.

The entire Mughal Empire army was dispatched, and the army was also ready to attack the city.

Aurangzeb's plan was to allow the infantry to see how to destroy the warships of the Ming Dynasty, so as to boost morale, and then fight for a battle to defeat Galpur.

On the top of the city, the Ming army is also waiting seriously.

Looking at the posture of the Mughal Empire army, any fool can see that they are going to start a water battle first.

Regarding this, Mu Tianbo and the others just observed the situation with binoculars, and did not intend to panic at all.

Yang Zhan, the commander of the navy, was even in the mood, and said cheerfully: "It's all an old-fashioned way of fighting, and thanks to the troops of the Mughal Empire, the entire army was dispatched to watch the battle. Don't turn around and hit them hard. Morale, you dare not come to fight!"

"Yeah, they are still hiding it. Who doesn't know this kind of tactics, they must attack first!" Another general under Zheng Zhibao said, "Our ships were worse than the Dutch warships back then. Blocked them in the bay with arson boats."

Listening to their conversation, He Yilong joined in the fun and said: "Don't, don't say that. If they are really defeated and dare not attack, our army will be nothing!"

Hearing his words, the generals of the Ming Army laughed out loud, and their voices could be heard far away.

Among the soldiers of the Ming army on the head of Bhagalpur, some soldiers who hadn't participated in the battle for a long time, heard their laughter, and their mood suddenly became lighter.

After waiting for a while, they finally heard the sound of horns from the Mughal Empire army, and their attack officially began.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the Ganges River, and they saw the ships of the Mughal Empire divided into two waves, each with hundreds of ships, heading towards the downstream Ming army warships.

With just a little effort, the surface of the Ganges River is full of boats.In this case, there is no way for Ming warships to hide.
