Chapter 916 The disaster of extinction
"What? The Ming army is chasing you?" Aurangzeb was shocked at first when he heard the news, but then he didn't care. I don't believe it anymore, so what are you using to attack!"

In this battle of Bhagalpur, he was really unwilling to lose, and was burned by the Ming army!
Aurangzeb was suffocating in his heart, thinking that if he fought in an upright manner, with his military command ability, he would never lose like this!
What he never expected was that just as he was thinking about it, the subordinate who reported the letter quickly corrected him: "Your Majesty, it is not the Ming army from Bagalpur, but the Ming army from the west!"

After hearing this, Aurangzeb frowned immediately, and asked suspiciously, "Where did the Ming army come from in the west?"

The Ming army in Bagalpur, even at the speed of flying, it is impossible to bypass Allahabad and appear from the west.

Therefore, for a while, he couldn't turn the corner, and he couldn't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, this seems to be another Ming army, with different banners, and they are all cavalry!"

"What?" Aurangzeb asked in shock, "The other Ming army is all cavalry?"

If this is the case, he can't imagine how difficult the prospect he faces will become!

Therefore, Aurangzeb must verify whether there are other Ming troops in the Mughal Empire!Unable to wait for an answer, he hurried out of the temporary camp and rushed to the top of the city to see the situation.

Along the way, the soldiers of the Mughal Empire knelt down to salute when they saw their emperor coming in a hurry, but Aurangzeburi ignored them and rushed to the city head.

When he reached the top of the city, he saw a huge cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty resting in the distance outside the city.You don't need to distinguish carefully, you can conclude that this army is definitely not the Ming army from Bagalpur!
Because the Ming army over there didn't have that many cavalry at all, not to mention, the cavalry in front of them could even have one man and two horses!

At this time, under the city of Allahabad, there were local troops who quickly hid after seeing the arrival of the Ming army, or local strongmen.Without the consent of Aurangzeb, they were not eligible to enter the city.

When these Mughals saw Aurangzeb appearing on the top of the city, they became agitated and shouted quickly, asking His Majesty the Emperor to let them enter the city.

However, they didn't know that the reason why Aurangzeb didn't let these newly arrived troops enter the city was because the city was also in chaos.With the soldiers who fled back from Aurangzeb, the soldiers who arrived one after another have lost their establishment and are being reorganized.If the newcomers enter the city again, it will easily cause chaos and delay the progress of the reorganization of the army.

At this time, the Ming army had already killed it, and it was even more impossible for Aurangzeb to let these local troops outside the city enter the city, but ordered them to rely on the city wall to defend.

Afterwards, he didn't care about the troops under the city at all, but asked his subordinates, "Where did these Ming troops come from? How come there are so many cavalry?"

However, no one could answer his question.

If it is normal, after the Ming army takes down Agra, the news will be centered on Agra, and it will inevitably spread to all directions.However, Li Yan led the army to march eastward at night and night, and the marching speed exceeded the speed of news dissemination, so there was no news from the west at all.

However, they didn't wonder for long, and saw a group of cavalry from the Ming army in the distance suddenly left the brigade and came towards the city.The two people walking in front were obviously not Ming army uniforms, but Mughal costumes, which were very eye-catching.

After stopping just a stone’s throw away from the city, I heard one of the Mughals holding a trumpet-like thing and yelling at the top of the city: “The Ming army has captured Agra, don’t you! The Crouching Empire is coming to an end, surrender..."

Hearing this call, all the people who heard it were stunned.

The capital was captured by the Ming army?how can that be!

This news is definitely a bolt from the blue!

The Mughals couldn't hear what was said next, and immediately after they realized it, they all questioned the authenticity of the words.

Aurangzeb had a bad premonition in his heart. He felt that the news was true, but he couldn't accept it, and he didn't dare to let his subordinates accept the fact that the capital was lost.

Therefore, he immediately asked his subordinates to announce that the Ming army was only intimidating and a way to undermine morale!

However, before Aurangzeb's words spread throughout the city, a Ming soldier suddenly took out something, put it on a special stick, held it high, and displayed it in front of everyone.

Under the sunlight, that thing can be seen very clearly, especially one point, reflecting the sunlight, is even more dazzling.

When Aurangzeb saw it, he was shocked and turned pale!
Because that thing is nothing but the crown of the emperor of the Mughal Empire!
Moreover, this crown is very special, it was made by Shah Jahan for his great achievements.

The reason why it is very special is because Shah Jahan got a very large diamond called "Mountain of Light", so he made this crown, and the largest diamond is inlaid in the middle of the crown.

In the original history, this "Mountain of Light" finally fell into the hands of the British in 1849 and became a part of the British crown in later generations, weighing 105.6 carats.

On this plane, Aurangzeb succeeded in usurping the throne, and the crown naturally fell into his hands.However, he immediately led the army again. As a prince who had led the army for a long time, he was used to the life of a soldier. This part of the grand attire was left in the Agra palace by him.

But now, the Ming army has obtained this unique crown, there is only one possibility: the Ming army really defeated Agra and got this crown from the palace!

This conclusion can not only be drawn by Aurangzeb alone.After other people understood this, the voices of doubt from above and below the city slowly disappeared. Everyone looked at the palace that belonged to the glory of the Mughal Empire, and they all fell silent in a daze.

Millions of troops were beaten to pieces, and they were defeated for thousands of miles. When they turned their heads, even the capital of the empire was taken by the Ming army. No matter what news it was, it was an unbearable blow to them!
At this time, the Mughals, including Kui Yi who rushed to the top of the city, all stared blankly at the Ming soldier outside the city holding up the crown to show off his might!
But the two Mughals continued to yell at the top of the city, basically the Mughal Empire is over, and surrendering is the right choice!

Although there are so many people in the upper and lower parts of the city of Allahabad, only these two voices to persuade them to surrender are ringing out, very quiet!

After a long time, Aurangzeb came back to his senses, and immediately shouted out of embarrassment: "Shoot arrows, shoot arrows, let me shoot these smart dogs to death!"

Hearing his will, the guards around him were the first to come to their senses and started shooting arrows one after another.As for the muskets, they were all smoothbore guns, and they couldn't be accurate at all, but they started to shoot one after another out of desperation.

This group of Ming troops immediately retreated, and after retreating far away, they wandered there again, with the intention of humiliating them, don't be too obvious.

But what can they do?

After making a fuss for a while, the Ming army returned to the camp.

With their departure, Allahabad finally stopped.

It was okay when it didn't stop, but when the news stopped, these Mughals went up and down, and immediately remembered the defeat of Bagalpur and the fall of Agra, and their morale was extremely low.

Even if Aurangzeb passed down the decree and repeatedly emphasized that the crown of the Ming army was forged, it would not help!

No one is a fool, the Ming army appeared from the west, and it was an unexpected army, which already meant a lot of things.

The appearance of the crown, combined with other things, as long as you are not a fool, you can actually know what is going on!

When the morale of an army is very low, unpredictable things often happen.

Outside the city of Allahabad, there was a local army camped against the city wall. Under the night, they didn't know what it was, but suddenly there was a commotion.

It must have been a soldier who was probably having a nightmare. He dreamed that the Ming army was attacking the camp, and suddenly he yelled.

When the Mughal soldiers beside him heard the Ming army attacking the camp in their sleep, they immediately exploded and ran away.

As soon as they ran, they ran with the soldiers in the surrounding tents!
Just like that, a camp roar happened!

Under normal circumstances, if a battalion scream occurs, the soldiers on duty will suppress it in time, and it will still be controllable.

However, if the general response is too late and the battalion roar spreads, it will definitely be a disaster for the army.

It is a pity that the soldiers on duty in these local armies were actually terrified. When the camp roar happened, they didn't think it was a camp roar at all, but it was really possible that they were attacked by the Ming army at night.

After all, His Majesty's army of millions was defeated by the Ming army's night attack.

Therefore, when the soldiers on duty saw the chaos, instead of suppressing it, they ran away immediately.As a result, the camp roar expanded rapidly, and eventually the entire camp outside the city was affected.

There were Mughal Empire soldiers running around everywhere, and I don't know how many people died under the stampede.Not to mention, some soldiers drew their swords when they saw others blocking their way to escape.

On the top of the city in Allahabad, the soldiers on duty didn't even think that there was a battalion noise outside the city, but thought that the Ming army really attacked at night again, and the top of the city was also in chaos.Many of the dead and wounded soldiers under the city were the work of the soldiers above the city.
