Chapter 914 It's That Simple

This is really unbelievable!

In their view, Aurangzeb led an army of one million to conquer the Ming army. How much time has passed, and maybe there has been no war. How could the Ming army appear in the Agra area?

If it is said that the Ming army can bypass Aurangzeb's army, that is impossible!
Millions of troops marching mightily to the east, how could it be possible to circumvent it?

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, it is impossible for the Ming army to appear in the Agra area!

However, how could the military newspaper lie about such a big matter?
Therefore, a group of people headed by Darashuko are all dumbfounded!

The person who reported the letter quickly replied: "It's true. The military uniforms of the Ming army are all red, which is very special. They are all cavalry troops. Now they have surrounded Agra!"

Speaking of this, he thought of something, and immediately added: "As soon as the Ming army arrived, they seemed to persuade them to surrender, and the city was in chaos, but the Ming army began to guard the surrounding area, and we didn't dare to explore any more, so we withdrew! "

After listening to his words, Darashuko's men didn't understand.

"What's going on here? Did this Ming army fall from the sky?"

"It's impossible to defeat the million-strong army! Even if you can defeat the million-strong army of His Highness the Third Prince, it's impossible to come to Agra so quickly, let alone, how can you defeat the million-strong army!"

"We came from the south, and we have never heard of the Ming army, so it is impossible for the Ming army to come from the south!"

"..."

When they were discussing, Dara Shuke, who had been silent all the time, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately thought of something, and immediately clapped his hands and said: "I understand, these Ming troops must come from the north! Father Khan is still here!" When I was there, I was worried that the Ming army would attack from Tibet."

"That's not right!" Hearing this, a general had a different opinion. "Now the north is still covered with snow and the roads are difficult to walk. How can the Ming army come down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?"

Upon hearing this, everyone including Dara Shuko was stunned.

That's right, this question cannot be explained!

So, everyone was dumbfounded again!

But this time, the scene was not silent for a long time. Dara Shuke said: "The Ming army only has 4 or [-] horses, and they are all cavalry. They don't have much food and supplies, but they want to attack Agra. In this battle, we have a chance to make a profit, what do you think?"

As the prince appointed by Shah Jahan, he must never forget the capital city of Agra.If possible, he really didn't want to go to the enemy country.

After hearing his words, everyone's eyes lit up: when two tigers fight, one will be injured!
If the Ming army could not capture Agra, with heavy losses and few supplies, a sudden attack at this time might lead to a great victory.

In this way, for them, it is definitely an opportunity to increase their reputation: look, Aurangzeb led an army of millions to attack the Ming army, but there was no result; A great victory over the Ming army has been achieved!

As long as this news spreads, the local military leaders will inevitably reconsider their position, and the disadvantage against Aurangzeb may be reversed.

Even if this is not the case, but the Ming army took down Agra, with the siege ability of their cavalry, they must have suffered heavy losses.

In this way, it is the best opportunity. Not only can the Ming army be defeated here, but it can also take the opportunity to occupy Agra!

Thinking of this bright prospect, all the generals were overjoyed and praised Darashuko for his wisdom and martial arts.

Hearing their flattery, Dara Shuke was very pleased, so he ordered the whole army to stop retreating westward, and after a full day's rest, they marched again to Agra.

However, in the afternoon, when it was more than a day away from Agra, they received another fast horse report from the scouts ahead.

"what?"

"what?"

"..."

All of a sudden, if eyeballs could fall to the ground in shock, the ground would definitely be full of eyeballs.

All those who heard the news, including Darashuko, had their eyes widened, almost out of their sockets, as if they had heard such incredible news.

Even when I heard Mingjun appeared before, I was not as shocked as this time!
"It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible!" Darashuko waved his hand and shouted decisively, "That's Agra, the capital of the empire, not a cat or a dog. No matter how powerful the Ming army is, it is impossible to attack it so quickly. Come down!"

Hearing this, other generals also echoed.

"That's right, according to the time estimate, it's only about a day or two. The Ming army has taken down Agra? There's not enough time to set up camp!"

"Could it be possible that each of the Ming army was descended from the gods and could fly, so they flew to the city of Agra and used magic to subdue the defenders of Agra?"

"It's not that we haven't tried to attack Agra, and there is no possibility of defeating it at all. How could the Ming army be able to defeat it?"

"That's right, it only took a day or two to take down Agra. Let alone forty to fifty thousand troops, even if it doubles that number, that's impossible!"

"..."

Listening to their questioning, the messenger added cautiously: "The Ming army seems to have captured Agra at night."

Hearing this, people immediately started to spray him.

"What's wrong with the night attack? Can the night attack be defeated?"

"Ignorant child, do you know how many soldiers there are on the top of the city? How many people can participate in the night attack? If there are too many people, they will be discovered before they get close; if there are few people, even if they can attack the top of the city, they will be shot down The speed of the reinforcements on the top of the city and outside the city is simply not the same!"

"..."

The scout didn't speak. In fact, even he himself could clearly see the flag of the Ming Dynasty flying above the city, but he still couldn't understand why the Ming army could defeat Agra?
After a while of noise, the scene became quiet again.

Although the people present, including Dara Shuke, really didn't want to believe that the Ming army took down Agra in just a day or two, but they also understood that it was impossible for scouts to deal with such a big thing. lying.

In the end, Darashuko and his generals decided to see it with their own eyes, otherwise it would be unbelievable!

So, they left the army and hurried away alone, taking a look at Agra from afar.

Sure enough, the flag of the Ming army was flying above the city of Agra, and there were groups of Ming army outside the city, who seemed to be executing some people.

Seeing this scene, the group of them were speechless for a long time.It wasn't until a group of Ming soldiers Yebushou seemed to find them that they left in fright.Afterwards, Darashuko was as fast as he could go, as far as he was, and fled far away, never daring to stay in the Agra area again.

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

They guessed right, this Ming army really came from Tibet.Led by Li Yan, governor of Qinghai-Tibet, the cavalry under his command totaled 5000 people.If it weren't for the fact that the hidden troops could not be too many, in fact, more troops could be mobilized.

According to the agreement with the expeditionary force, Li Yan led the army to raid the capital of the Mughal Empire.

As the saying goes, if you don't have three points, how dare you go to Liangshan!The Ming army came from afar, and the first battle was to conquer the enemy's capital, so how could they be unprepared.

On the first day of his arrival in Agra, Li Yan carefully observed the city defense of Agra, and based on the collected information, he knew that Aurangzeb was leading an army of one million to the east to fight the expeditionary army. , Li Yan decided to attack the city that night.

The most important point in night battles and sieges is not whether you can attack the top of the city, but whether you can hold it after attacking the top of the city, so that more follow-up troops can reach the top of the city and finally defeat the enemy.

Generally speaking, in this kind of war, the siege will definitely not be able to defeat the defenders, unless the defenders are all asleep and the city is really stolen.

However, as the capital of a country, the guarding force is sufficient, and it will not be so sloppy that it cannot be discovered by enemies outside the city.

Therefore, once the stolen city is discovered, basically the defenders can immediately reinforce them, annihilate or drive the enemy who stole the city back to the city with superior forces.

After all, compared to the defenders and the siege side, the reinforcements from the defenders are definitely the fastest!
However, this night raid by the Ming army was different from ordinary night raids.

This is not to say that the soldiers of the Ming army who stole the city were all Zhao Yun-style generals who could outnumber a hundred, but they benefited from the new weapons of the Ming army.

Unconscionable cannons and grenades are the most convenient for stealing cities.

The soldiers of the Mughal Empire had never seen, or in other words, never heard of such a firearm.After discovering that the Ming army had stolen the city, they charged in groups, only to be knocked down one by one by grenades.

As more and more soldiers of the Ming army marched to the top of the city, after the unconscionable cannons were also moved to the top of the city, the ability to drop explosives from a long distance made the soldiers of the Mughal Empire cry and howl.

Originally, the soldiers of the Mughal Empire were already panicked by the sudden appearance of the Ming army in Agra. They didn't know what happened to their emperor leading an army of millions, but now they are surrounded by new weapons that they have never seen before. Unprecedented power appeared in front of their eyes. Under the black light and blind fire, how many soldiers could continue to fight forward and follow up like robots.

In addition, the Ming army timed it well, and after controlling a large section of the city wall, when the city gate was opened, the sky brightened, and the Shenwei rifle began to fire.

Not to mention that the elite army in Agra was taken away by Aurangzeb, even if they remained in the city and were bombarded by the Ming army, if they dared to resist, they would only die.

It was such a situation that the incredible battle of Darashuko and others ended within a day or two.
