Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 913 The most shocking thing in my life
At noon, the great battle triggered by the night raid finally came to an end.

Outside the city of Bhagalpur, there are all traces of burning, and even the forest in the distance is still burning, but the war is over, and no one is controlling the fire. If you want to burn, just continue to burn.

On the ground after the ashes, there were all corpses, needless to say, they were all soldiers of the Mughal Empire.On the field, there is the smell of barbecue everywhere.

Of course, there are still many corpses, and there are not many traces of fire.

Looking at the corpses on the entire battlefield, about three-fifths of the corpses were actually caused by soldiers of the Mughal Empire trampling each other to death, and more than one-fifth of the corpses were burned to death. The ones below were killed by the Ming army with firearms.This last part accounts for the least proportion.

As the saying goes, fire and water have no mercy.This battle is to show the power of fire.Human beings are really very fragile in front of the flames, and millions of troops can be wiped out in one night!

In the history of China, there were a few night raids combined with fire attacks to achieve great victories, which in turn affected the course of history.For example, the Battle of Wuchao, where Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought decisively, and the joint camp where Lu Xun of the Eastern Wu Dynasty burned Liu Bei, are very important and famous battles.

The Bhagalpur burning camp does not need to be proved by future history. Everyone knows that this is also a war that changed the history of the Mughal Empire.

Among the three emperors of the Mughal Empire, Aurangzeb, the most powerful emperor, assembled almost all the troops in the north, claiming to be as many as one million, and was destroyed in one battle. It is estimated that less than [-] escaped. Without the establishment, it will be very difficult for Aurangzeb to rectify and fight again.

This is not only the difficulty of gathering the army, but also the morale problem when facing the Ming army again!

The Ming army, on the other hand, temporarily lost the ability to continue to attack because of this battle.

It doesn’t mean that the army also lost too much. The fact is just the opposite. The Ming army had almost no losses, but too many prisoners, at least 30 people, and horses scattered everywhere. It’s just to clean up the battlefield and deal with the prisoners. The Ming army in Bagalpur was held back by the problem.

If it is said that all these captives were killed, then the aftermath would be much simpler.However, for Daming, the captives are all free labor, murder?That is making trouble with your own money!

Therefore, in addition to dispersing about [-] cavalry troops, centered on Bagalpur, taking advantage of the victory to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and making forced landings on the surrounding enemies, the other Ming army soldiers are busy with the aftermath of this war.

As for the result of this battle, it naturally spread like wildfire, and the defeated soldiers of the Mughal Empire fled in all directions, bringing the news to all parts of the Mughal Empire.

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

Agra, located in the northwest of the Mughal Empire, is the capital of the Mughal Empire. It is the gateway to the Ganges Plain in the east, the Punjab Plain in the west, and the Malwa Plateau in the south.

When Aurangzeb usurped the throne, a war broke out.However, because of internal support, the scale of the war was actually not large, and it was quickly quelled.However, a large number of people also died, mainly the factions that supported other princes and those who were loyal to Shah Jahan.

In this way, there are only supporters of Aurangzeb left in Agra. Whether it is on the surface or in secret, at least the praise of Aurangzeb can be seen everywhere.

This time, Aurangzeb led an army of one million to conquer the Ming army that invaded the Mughal Empire. For the Mughals here in Agra, it is taken for granted that their emperor will win, and the Ming army must fail.

"His Majesty the Emperor is the most powerful fighter in our Mughals. He had a great reputation in the past. After this battle, it is estimated that his reputation will be spread to the Ming Kingdom, and the kind that can stop the children of the Ming Kingdom from crying!"

"That's not true, the Emperor of Ming may also kneel down and beg for His Majesty's understanding!"

"That's right, our emperor has already destroyed several countries in the south. At that time, he didn't bring many troops, but this time he attacked the Ming army, and there were millions of troops. If he defeated the Ming army and conquered the Ming country, wouldn't that be enough?" Very simple thing!"

"Haha, maybe our emperor sent a shoe over, and the Ming army heard the prestige and surrendered!"

"That's right, they will carefully enshrine His Majesty's shoes, and then humbly welcome His Majesty's arrival!"

"..."

Such remarks are not only everywhere in the streets and alleys of Agra, but even the Agra area is full of such discussions.

At this time, at least here, the Mughals have already recognized that the emperor of the Mughal Empire must be Aurangzeb, not the former prince or the second prince.

After all, Aurangzeb not only occupied the capital, but also possessed the most powerful army, and its own advantage is to lead the army to fight and conquer disobedience!
In the Mughal Empire, it has always been the tradition that whoever wins with his fist is the emperor.

In such an atmosphere, Darashuko, who detoured from the south and tried to steal the city, suffered a lot.

Originally, he thought that he was the crown prince appointed by Shah Jahan, the legitimate heir to the throne.Then Aurangzeb can't compare with him at all, and even killed Shah Jahan. If he can lead his troops to Agra, and Aurangzeb is not there, Agra will definitely open the door to welcome him This real emperor!
As a result, what he never expected was that the local government was very against him. It was normal for him to stay behind closed doors, and some soldiers even tried to attack him.

This made him very angry, but his subordinates persuaded him, saying that the local military leaders did not know the general situation, let alone, as long as Agra was taken down, it would be what the people wanted by then, and Darashuko would still Be the true emperor of the Mughal Empire!

Therefore, Darashuko no longer struggled, and prepared to win Agra first.In any case, Agra is the capital of the Mughal Empire, where princes and ministers, rich and powerful families are all here.Whoever controls Agra will have enormous political capital.

However, in the end, he was still disappointed, or rather, angry.

He really didn't expect that when he managed to get to Agra, Agra not only stayed behind closed doors, but even took advantage of his unpreparedness and attacked him. What a contempt!

After such a toss, Darashuko's team is less than [-].

On the city of Agra, all the princes and ministers laughed at Dara Shuke.

"I advise His Highness to surrender as soon as possible. Maybe His Majesty can miss your brother and forgive you!"

"When His Majesty the Emperor returns triumphantly, where will you escape?"

"The whole world is the territory of His Majesty the Emperor. Whoever dares to disobey when millions of troops arrive, I advise you to surrender obediently, so as not to suffer!"

"..."

Darashuko trembled when he heard it. Many of those people on the top of the city used to be on his side. The comparison between the flattering and threatening faces in front of him back then is really a great irony!

However, for this situation, Darashuko has nothing to do.

His army was actually exhausted and its morale was low.Originally thought that reaching Agra was the end point, and there would be a chance for correction, but I didn't expect to hit an iron wall.Under the threat of the defenders at the top of the city, many soldiers were shaken.

Can following the eldest prince really have a future?

Under such circumstances, among Darashuko's generals, some of the smarter generals immediately realized that the situation was not good, and quickly advised them: "Your Majesty, the traitor of Aurangzeb is too powerful, unless he We have lost the battle, otherwise we may not be able to influence the people of Agra to submit to His Majesty!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Aurangzeb led an army of one million to conquer the Ming army of less than one hundred thousand. With his ability to fight in battle, he would definitely not lose. This means that in the Mughal Empire, in fact, Darashuko actually has no place to stand.

After trying to understand this, Dara Shuko finally had a long talk, and then realized something was wrong, so he cheered up and said to his subordinates: "The only way to go now is to go to Persia. But everyone Don't worry, Aurangzeb's cruelty and evil will definitely not be tolerated by the gods. We will definitely be able to kill him back in a short time. When that day comes, I, Darashuko, swear here that I will definitely share the glory and wealth with you all. !"

Compared with Aurangzeb, Darashuko is indeed more tolerant in terms of religion, and it is the same. Even if his current situation is very bad, he will eventually be followed.

Hearing his words at this time, can be regarded as barely comforting.

Therefore, Dara Shuke's team stopped thinking about it and began to collect food and grass as much as possible around Agra to prepare supplies for the far away Persia.

Needless to say, this collection of grain and grass will definitely not be amicable and negotiated.Even because they refused to accept Darashuko here, no matter whether they really refused or they were just afraid of Aurangzeb, Darashuko would not be kind to them.

In this way, the Mughals in the Agra area suffered another catastrophe.

Under the military disaster, there is basically no objection to who is suffering.

After looting in the Agra area, Darashuko led the army westward.

However, he never imagined that after he had only left Agra for two days, he would receive a report from the broken army by flying horse.

Upon hearing this, Darashuko was stunned.He was even more shocked than when he heard the news of Shah Jahan's death.

It can even be said that this news is the most incredible that he has heard in his life!
After a long time, he came back to his senses.The same is true of the generals around him.

Darashuko asked loudly in a very shocked tone: "Are you really sure that the army that appeared outside Agra is the army of the Ming Dynasty and not others?"
