Chongzhen Chat Group

Although Shah Jahan led the army back to Delhi, he still got the news of the collapse of the infantry in the rear. And this was actually what he expected. He was quite helpless about this.

Previously, he hid the news and wanted to defeat the Ming army in Dhaka before returning to the army. This was his main concern. I just didn’t expect that I still didn’t achieve my goal in the end.

But at this time, Shah Jahan couldn't control that much. The infantry is mostly composed of untouchables, and if they die, they die. As long as he ensures that Delhi is not lost and defeats the Ming army in the hinterland of the empire, he can gather enough infantry troops.

However, one day, what Shah Jahan did not expect was that the Ming army in Nadaka city far exceeded his expectations. Now, behind his army, there are Ming troops chasing after them from Dhaka.

Sometimes, he wanted to return to the army and kill him, and give a severe lesson to the Ming army who dared to follow him. However, he could only think about this idea. Because the distance between the Ming army and him was at least two days, he couldn't afford to spend so much time turning back to fight the Ming army.

In this way, Shah Jahan led his 30,000 cavalry troops and rushed back to Delhi day and night. And about two days behind him, there was also a Ming cavalry army on the way. One maintains this distance, no longer fast or slow.

However, what Shah Jahan didn't know was that along his marching route, or in the mountains, or in the grass, every few days, there would be spies lying in wait. When Shah Jahan's army passes by, the whereabouts, status and other information of Shah Jahan's army will be reported through the chat group, and even photos will be given.

After continuous forced march, they finally arrived at a location not far from Kanpur in later generations, which was not too far from Delhi. All in all, at least Shah Jahan had traveled more than half the distance. He looked at his troops, they all looked very tired, and felt helpless in his heart. Marching in a hurry was indeed very tiring, including himself.

However, Delhi was being attacked from the north and south by the Ming army and Gushi Khan's army. He was very worried. After thinking about it, he still issued an order to let his troops grit their teeth and hurry on. When they were about to reach Delhi, the whole army would rest and regroup. Have the physical strength to fight the Ming army decisively.

If ordinary people had issued such an inconsiderate decree, the army would probably have stopped working. However, Shah Jahan's prestige was still good. Although his men complained, they generally obeyed his will and continued on their way.

When an army marches, the most difficult part is actually the scouts. They are the eyes and ears of the army. Before the army moves, they must move first. Those who are marching in a hurry must be a hasty march within a hasty march.

In the beginning, they fulfilled their responsibilities conscientiously. However, now everyone is very tired, and no trace of the Ming army has been found. Gradually, they slackened off as their fatigue increased. Just rush along the official road first. If you don't see the Ming army, you will be safe. Moreover, the forward detection distance is getting shorter and shorter.

In the afternoon one day later, when the army passed under a hill, the scouts of the Mughal army suddenly found that the official road ahead was blocked. I quickly went over to check and found that the official road was blocked by huge trees, rocks and the like, and it was impossible to go around because there was a mountain on one side of the road and a river on the other side. If the cavalry army wants to pass, they must move away these things piled up on the official road.

Obviously, this is man-made. The scouts of the Mughal army immediately became nervous and quickly reported back to the army behind them.

Shah Jahan had always been worried. After hearing the news, he was not surprised but overjoyed, which surprised his men. So, Shah Jahan explained to them: "This is obviously because the Ming army wants to prevent us from rushing to Delhi. This means that the Ming army has not captured Delhi yet and is afraid that we will rush back in time. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, his men were all overjoyed. It would be great if Delhi was fine.

Soon, Shah Jahan led the army to the foot of the mountain, and sure enough he saw huge trees and rocks blocking the official road.

Therefore, while Shah Jahan ordered the army to rest, he also sent some manpower to quickly clear the official roads.

Upon hearing this order, his cavalry immediately dismounted and took the time to rest. To be honest, they were really tired.

By evening, the obstacles on the official road were finally cleared. Shah Jahan had Delhi in his mind, so he ordered to leave again. This time, some people began to complain. If a person does something with a lot of energy, he may not feel anything at all. But once you relax, the fatigue will become so serious that no one will want to move again.

Previously, this army was worried that Delhi would be lost, so they all suppressed their energy and hurried on. But now listening to Shah Jahan's analysis, the Ming army definitely did not capture Delhi. They were afraid of being attacked from both sides, so they played tricks to try to slow down the speed of the army's reinforcements and buy themselves time.

On the other hand, they are safe now. He had rested again, and seeing that it was getting dark, he still had to rush on, and was he going to let others live?

They dare not violate it openly, but they can do things that are violated openly and covertly.

After Shah Jahan's decree was issued, his men became slow and began to work hard. As a result, by the time the army moved out again, it was dark.

Shah Jahan actually understood the little thoughts of his men, because he was also very tired. So, he had no choice but to order a rest.

After hearing this decree, the entire Mughal army was very happy and could finally have a good rest. So, they immediately set up camp and just wanted to have a good sleep.

After a simple meal, the entire camp immediately began to grunt one after another, making the soldiers on duty particularly envious. If it is normal, it is the most annoying thing when someone snores. But at this time, they felt that the snoring sound was very magical, arousing their desire to have a good sleep.

In the groggy state, suddenly, there was movement outside the camp. Suddenly, they were excited and listened carefully. It seemed that someone was coming to steal the camp. Suddenly, they became excited, Ming army?

Rockets suddenly appeared. Although there were not many, they soared into the sky from the darkness and flew towards the camp. They frightened the soldiers on duty so much that they immediately issued a warning.

Immediately, the Mughal army was in chaos. Thanks to Shah Jahan's skillful management of the army, this was an army that the Mughal Empire was used to fighting. Therefore, although it was in chaos, it did not blow up the camp and quickly prepared to meet the enemy.

However, after they started struggling, they found that there were no enemies! They immediately understood that this should be harassment by a small group of Ming army troops, preventing them from having a good rest. Suddenly, everyone started yelling curses.

However, Shah Jahan was actually happy, which made his men feel depressed when they saw it. Everyone can't sleep, can't rest, sweat profusely, are you still happy?

Shah Jahan knew what they were thinking, so he smiled and said to them: "Everyone, the more the Ming army harassed us at all costs, the more the Khan knew that their attack on Delhi would not go smoothly. This reason is very simple. , don’t you all understand?”

When his men heard this, they suddenly realized that it was a good thing to be harassed by a small group of Ming soldiers on this night of love!

"The Great Khan is wise. If the Great Khan hadn't pointed it out, even the generals would have been kept in the dark!"

"Xiaguan read so many military books in vain, but he didn't expect this. Thanks to Dahan's wake-up call, Xianguan is relieved!"

"..."

After all the flattery, everyone was tired. In addition to being more vigilant, they all went to sleep again.

Half an hour later, the camp became quiet again.

However, there was no surprise. The Ming army began to harass the camp again. This time, in addition to rockets shooting at the camp, there seemed to be rapid sounds of horse hooves rushing toward the camp. Suddenly, the soldiers who were in the groggy rotation were frightened again. There is no other way. In this case, we can only send a warning, otherwise if something happens, the consequences will be disastrous.

When the Mughal army was tormented again and found that it was still just harassment, some people became angry. It's so late at night, why don't you let people sleep? Are all the soldiers on duty blind? Can't they tell the difference between harassment and attack? They made a fuss again and again, tossing the whole army, and no one could sleep. How could they go on the road tomorrow?

The resentment was so high that even Shah Jahan was dissatisfied. If you have been working as a Khan for a long time, you will naturally be pampered and pampered for a long time. He had gritted his teeth before and was equally exhausted. Having come to a conclusion in his mind, he was also very dissatisfied with the soldiers on duty. Therefore, an edict was issued to rebuke and strictly ordered to distinguish between harassment and real attack before taking corresponding measures.

After a long period of tossing, the camp became quiet again.

I don’t know how long it took, but when the grunts started to sound again, the Ming army came to harass them again. This time, whether it was rockets or the sound of horse hooves, the soldiers on duty cursed in their hearts while carefully distinguishing, not daring to be the first. Time warning.

Sure enough, in the end, after the Ming army saw that there was no harassment effect, they stopped, which made all the soldiers on duty relieved. They could all imagine that this time, if they were to give a direct warning, it would probably not be as simple as a rebuke.

I'm so lucky to have escaped a disaster!

After a few twists and turns, time flies by.

When the sky in the east showed a trace of fish belly white, and it was about to dawn, the soldiers on duty could not open their eyes. These people came on duty in the middle of the night. I didn't get a good rest in the first half of the night because I was so busy. During the handover, I heard the laid-off soldiers impart their experience, so I was a little numb to the movements outside the camp.

However, this time, there were no rockets, only the faint sound of horse hooves, like thunder from the sky, slowly rolling in from far to near.

In the drowsiness of sleep, these soldiers on duty, who were used to fighting at any rate, finally woke up: Oh no, a large number of cavalry are coming!

Sure enough, with the light of dawn, in front of the official road, a sea of ​​red, like a huge wave, came overwhelmingly. Looking at the heavy armored cavalry at the front and the particularly attractive charging formation under the light, the soldiers on duty were so frightened that they peed their pants and quickly issued a warning.

However, this is the time when people are most sleepy. And because of the previous setbacks, most people's reactions were much slower. By the time they started to react, the Ming cavalry had already rushed into the camp.

"Great Khan, run quickly, the Ming army has broken through the camp!"

Shah Jahan was dragged out of bed by the guards. There was nothing he could do, the Khan was so sleepy that his gentle calls were of no use. Besides, the Ming army has already invaded, and they can't escape if they don't run away, so there are so many things to worry about.

Shah Jahan thought he was dreaming, but when he woke up a little, he suddenly woke up when he heard the sounds of fighting, the sound of horse hooves, and the cry for father and mother coming from outside. Suddenly, his legs went weak, and he knew it was over.

When he was carried out of the camp by his men to escape, he found that the entire camp was on fire, and the Ming army cavalry was going back and forth, slaughtering his men wantonly. As far as he could see, he couldn't see any decent resistance at all.

The most elite army of the Mughal Empire was finished like this! Shah Jahan understood that it was his own carelessness that caused such consequences. My heart was bleeding, and I was extremely regretful, but there was no regret medicine to take. In order to save my life, I had no choice but to escape first.

In fact, he was not the only one. When the Ming army rushed into the camp, everyone with a little bit of discernment knew that the situation was over and had no intention of resisting. They all tried to escape!

This Ming army was under Deng Kruu's command. All of this was planned in advance. What is important is to surround the point and call for reinforcements. In this way, the greatest victory can be achieved at the least cost.

To be honest, in the eyes of Ming Dynasty, Delhi is not important, what is important is the elite led by Shah Jahan. As long as this elite group is annihilated, the Mughal Empire will be finished. Therefore, under the coordination and communication of chat group tools, the Ming army first laid out such a strategy.

While the Ming army was reaping the fruits of the war, they sent people to pursue them. Don't take it too easy when chasing down defeated troops. In fact, they were really not in a hurry. They were just behind the defeated troops, taking down the lagging troops first and driving them away without giving them a chance to rest.

When it was daylight, Shah Jahan, who was fleeing at the front, breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had escaped the pursuit of the Ming army.

Suddenly Shah Jahan burst out laughing.

After a huge defeat, he could still laugh. The men around him couldn't help but look at each other, wondering if the Great Khan had lost his mind and gone crazy?

Seeing their looks, Shah Jahan did not pay attention. Instead, he explained with a smile: "Do you think, if the Ming army followed and chased us, could we escape? However, the Ming army was still careless in the end, and it would be a great victory. We were so proud that we escaped. Such an opponent of the Ming army gave us a chance to regroup. I believe we can defeat them. Should we laugh at such a thing?"

After hearing this, his men thought about it, and it seemed to make sense. However, they felt vaguely uneasy because Shah Jahan seemed to be inconsistent these few times!

Sure enough, they were right. While they were still taking a breath, they saw another blaze of red approaching in front of them. The leading general, who was still a one-eyed man, was like a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep. The leader rushed towards them.
