Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 845 The Third Prince Is Captured

On the south bank of the Boundary River, Shah Jahan held up his binoculars and scanned it from afar, feeling remorseful.

At this moment, there are only tens of thousands of Ming army cavalry on the other side, more than a hundred thousand!

He really regretted it back then!
If he had listened to what Captain White told him, he would be on his way to Dhaka now, how could he be blocked on the south bank of the boundary river, in a dilemma.

What should we do now?
He really didn't know what to do.

At this moment, he has fewer armored cavalry than others. How can he build a pontoon bridge to cross the river?

He frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly had an idea.

By the way, he still has millions of people under his command.

What kind of city wall is still being attacked at this time, and it is serious to build a pontoon bridge and escape back.

Thinking of this, he decisively ordered: "Order, order Shahshuja, Aurangzeb, and Bakhsh to stop attacking, and lead their troops to gather in the direction of Jiehe immediately.

Remember, all muskets and artillery must be brought. "

He still has millions of troops under his command, more than 2 artillery pieces, and more than [-] muskets. He still doesn't believe that these [-] cavalry can stop him.

At this time, confidence returned to his face.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered loudly: "Back back five miles and set up camp."

As a result, before the camp was set up, the Kuaiqi he sent out ran back like a bereaved dog in panic, ran to his car, and said in a panic: "The sweat is not good, the road to the camp ahead has been blocked. The Ming army is blocked."

Ah!
Shah Jahan was shocked and said: "How many Ming troops are blocking the road?"

You quickly said with horror on your face: "Khan, there are too many Ming troops, densely packed like a wall, you can't count them at all!"

What to do now?
In fact, he still had a way to go at this time, and that was to lead his army to run north quickly, rush into the jungle, and cross the river by detour from the forest in the north.

However, in the jungle to the north, Lu Xiangsheng was not completely unprepared.

At this moment, Luo Sigong was guarding in the jungle with two thousand Jinyiwei scouts and tens of thousands of Southeast Battalion elites.

Although there are not many people under his command, everyone is equipped with muskets, and they have already occupied all the hills. If more than 20 people rushed in, it would not be so easy to break through their defense.

That is to say, if Shah Jahan made a desperate move and led his 20 troops into the jungle in the north, there was still a chance to escape.

This is also the biggest loophole in Lu Xiangsheng's entire plan.

There is no way, it is not so easy to encircle and wipe out more than 170 million people with more than 140 million people.

There are many places for him to use his troops.

For example, the city wall, they have sent more than 120 million soldiers to attack the city wall. If he wants to keep the city wall safe, he has to put all 30 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on it.

There is also Jiehe, which is even more important.

If the direction of Jiehe is to be safe, then more than [-] soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion must be crushed.

As for the Southeast Camp and the Nanyang Camp, their combat effectiveness is not very strong at the moment, and at most they can scare others with their large numbers and well-equipped equipment.

If people really fight their lives, the Southeast Camp and Nanyang Camp alone may not be able to withstand their millions of troops.

Therefore, he could only let the Southeast Camp and Nanyang Camp swarm up along the coastline, first surround the millions of enemy troops attacking the city, and scare them into surrendering.

As for the 20 Black God Army, it's useless to go up alone, and it may not be possible to fight in the jungle. Moreover, they are here to help, so he can't really send people up to let them fight desperately.

Taichang also told him that the Black God Army should not suffer heavy casualties. If the 20 Black God Army soldiers suffered heavy casualties, it would affect the plans of the whole of Africa.

Therefore, he could only keep the Black God Army as a backup.

In this way, the northern jungle can only be handed over to Luo Sigong's [-] Jinyiwei scouts and tens of thousands of Southeast Battalion elites for the time being.

Of course, Luo Sigong and the others don't have to hold on for too long, as long as they light up the beacon, within an hour, he will definitely send someone to help.

Fortunately, there was no wolf smoke coming out of the jungle at this moment, and the Southeast Camp and Nanyang Camp had already surrounded the millions of troops in front of the enemy from the northwest.

Lu Xiangsheng turned the binoculars and glanced around carefully, and then ordered decisively: "Send an order, let Ahara lead people to come forward to persuade him to surrender."

At this moment, Ahara and several officers under his command were not on the city wall. They were following the soldiers of the Southeast Battalion and slowly pressing forward in the west.

As soon as the command flag was waved on the city wall, he knew that it was time for them to appear.

For the sake of the future, I can only fight.

Ahara immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone, come forward and speak to me."

He said this in the dialect of the Mughal Empire, and naturally he was not greeting all the soldiers of the Southeast Battalion.

Soon, he came out with a few officers and thousands of Asanyue with a thicker voice, came to the front of the battle, and shouted at the panicked siege soldiers in the dialect of the Mughal Empire: "Put down your weapons and surrender, Assalam Bagh is really here to save us. After we were captured, we lived a very good life. We can eat every meal and eat meat every meal."

Although those Asan civilian soldiers were a little moved, they didn't dare to surrender immediately. They still subconsciously looked at the high-caste officers above them.

Those high-caste officers are also panicking at the moment!

They got together to discuss a few words and then pushed me out.

This man also knew Ahara, so he stepped forward and asked: "Ahara, you are not lying to us, if we surrender, then why would Asharam Bagh let us go? "

Ahara immediately patted the officers around him, and then explained in Persian: "Look, there are only six of us leading the army, aren't they all here now?

Asharam Bagh has already said that as long as we cooperate well, our identity and status will remain the same in the future. The Ming Empire needs to rule so many untouchables, so it depends on our assistance.

Moreover, Assalam Bagh will not allow us to lead troops to fight on the battlefield in the future. Fighting is the business of the soldiers of the Ming army. We only need to manage the untouchables below.

Of course, Assalam Bagh would not be soft if he refused to surrender.

Surrender, we just changed a sweat, if you don't surrender, your head will be gone, let's think about it carefully. "

Is this still worth considering?
As soon as the officer went back and explained to other high-caste officers, a bunch of high-caste officers here immediately shouted: "Hurry up, put down your weapons and surrender, Assalam Bagh is here to save us, follow Assalam Bagh G, definitely have a good time."

Well, if you say surrender, then surrender.

This time, at least more than [-] ordinary civilian soldiers dropped the shabby weapons in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, Ahara simply walked over with several high-caste officers who had just surrendered, and went directly to the other high-caste officers who led the army to persuade them to surrender.

It was as if a hurricane was blowing on the battlefield. Wherever Ahara went, the ordinary civilian soldiers who surrendered quickly dropped their weapons.

Zhao Ledjiao directly commanded the soldiers of the Southeast Battalion to step forward, divide the surrendered Mughal Empire soldiers into pieces, and let them sit on the ground and wait without tying them up.

In this way, the Mughal Empire infantry surrendered faster.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Well, now we can finally draw out the manpower.

He took a rough look at the speed of Ahara's persuasion, and then he ordered decisively: "The order is that the Black God Army go up to the city wall to change defenses, and all the recruits from the Shenji Battalion quickly go north and enter the jungle to block it."

There was a wave of command flags, and there was a sound of orderly footsteps on the city wall.

The soldiers of the Black God Army lined up and quickly climbed up the city wall, while the recruits of the Shenji Battalion who were originally guarding the city wall ran to the north in an orderly line.

In the north, the ladder used to cross the river by Jin Yiwei's elite scouts has already been paved with wooden planks. Teams of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion quickly slid down from the city wall, crossed the simple wooden bridge, and went straight to the jungle on the other side. .

Now that the overall situation has been decided, it depends on whether Shah Jahan and several leading princes can be caught.

Shah Jahan seems to be unable to catch it for the time being, after all, he still has 20 elites with him.

So what about the leading princes Shahshuja, Aurangzeb and Bakhsh?
Now they were all frightened and ran all the way to the camp of Aurangzeb in the north.

Aurangzeb still left [-] cavalry at any rate, and Shahshuja and Bakhsh each left more than a thousand guard cavalry and several governors under them.

What can they do with this little man?

The three of them hid in the big camp, watching the wave of surrender spreading like a plague, and then at the Ming army's infantry as thick as a city wall behind them and the black mass that was constantly advancing here from the east. The Ming army's infantry all had panic expressions on their faces.

Aurangzeb was better, he was not panicked yet, Shahshuja and Bakhsh turned pale with fright.

How to do?
They seemed to have to flee into the jungle. In the other three directions, one side was the city wall, and the other two sides were densely packed with hundreds of thousands of Ming troops. No matter which direction they rushed, they could not rush through.

Aurangzeb frowned and pondered for a while, and then ordered decisively: "Quick, order everyone to carry ten days' dry food on their backs, and prepare to go into the jungle."

They didn't dare to blatantly hit their horses and run into the jungle, because once the sound of horseshoes sounded, it would definitely attract the attention of the Ming army.

Aurangzeb led more than 2 people, led the horses, and walked quickly towards the jungle under the cover of the tent.

Fortunately, their camp was built on the edge of the jungle, and it was only a few miles away. The speed of the Ming army's surrender should not be as fast as they entered the jungle.

They thought they would be able to escape by entering the jungle, but they didn't know that there were several Jinyiwei scouts on the hills in the jungle staring at them with large binoculars.

With more than [-] troops, even without the support of Shenji Battalion, it is impossible to break through Jinyiwei's defense line.

What's more, at this moment, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have poured into the jungle to support them.

Two Jinyiwei hundreds of households nearby communicated with each other with hand gestures, and quickly settled on a strategy.

Not long after Aurangzeb led his men into the jungle, he came to the valley between the two hills and was about to pass through. Suddenly, there were intensive gunshots from the hills on both sides.

"Papa, papa", there was a sound, and the branches and leaves above their heads fell like snowflakes flying all over the sky.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud shout in the jungle: "Put down your weapons and surrender, or we won't be hitting branches in the next round."

surrender?

Aurangzeb was still hesitating, and an unknown number of soldiers of the Ming army suddenly appeared in the surrounding jungle.

The soldiers of the Ming army were aiming at them with muskets.

If you don't surrender this time, you will really be beaten into a hornet's nest.

They deserved to be unlucky. The hundred thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the north wall had just descended from the wall and poured into the jungle. They were passing by here and were about to rush to the west to support them. They just got in.

The three leading princes were captured inexplicably.
