Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 849 Dare to close the city gate?
On the north bank of the boundary river between the Ming Empire and the Mughal Empire, a million soldiers from the Southeast Battalion and the Nanyang Battalion have already lined up in densely packed square formations, ready to go.

On the sea to the west, the ships of the Daming Navy lined up densely for hundreds of miles.

At this time, the number of armed merchant ships in the Nanyang Navy Fleet has reached more than [-], the number of large fishing boats has reached more than [-], and the number of Spike warships has reached a terrifying [-]. ship.

There are also dreadnoughts, aegis ships, dragon teeth battleships, dragon battleships, etc. Although the number is not many, the combat power can make the anti-Habsburg alliance tremble with fear.

Daming's shipbuilding capacity is already the best in the world. After Taichang issued the war mobilization order, Daming's ship production is even more frighteningly high.

At this moment, the output of Jinling Shipyard and Dongfan Shipyard has doubled, and the output of Wubei City Shipyard has more than doubled.

The three major shipyards are working hard, and they can build more than [-] armed merchant ships, more than [-] large fishing boats, and more than [-] Spike warships in just one month.

There is also the latest type of Flying Dragon battleship, which has already achieved mass production, and the Wubei City Shipyard is doing its best to expand production, which has already reached more than ten ships a month.

If such a huge fleet can be fully suppressed, Da Ming may be able to reach the capital of the Mughal Empire in less than half a month.

It's a pity that the most powerful buildings and gunships, such as dreadnoughts, aegis ships, and dragon teeth battleships, cannot enter the Ganges waterway. Even if they enter, they will not be able to drive to the capital of the Mughal Empire.

Therefore, Taichang could only let Lu Xiangsheng and Yu Zigao go in with the Flying Dragon Warship, armed merchant ships, large fishing boats and Spike Warships.

As a result, the Nanyang Navy not only severely shrunk in combat effectiveness, but also shrunk by more than half in its carrying capacity.

Flying dragon warships, armed merchant ships, large fishing boats, and Spike warships all add up to be able to transport 30 Shenji Battalions and more than a million troops with food, grass, supplies, artillery and ammunition.

As for the soldiers of the Nanyang Camp and the Southeast Camp, they could only walk through them with their feet.

On the Emperor, Taichang turned his binoculars and glanced at the million-strong army on the north bank of the Jiehe River, and couldn't help but sighed slightly: "Oh, the navy's ships are still seriously insufficient."

Lu Xiangsheng, Yu Zigao and others were speechless after hearing the words.

This is seriously insufficient!
You must know that in the Wanli Dynasty, all the sailing ships, warships and small sampans of the Daming Navy added up to less than [-] ships. Now their number of ships not only exceeds [-], but more than [-] ships Two thousand ships were ordered.

As for the [-]-material Spike warship, its combat effectiveness is actually not bad, at least it is much stronger than the original [-]-material Fuchuan battleship.

The serious shortage mentioned by the emperor probably refers to the insufficient number of ships that can enter the inland waterway.

No way, dreadnoughts, aegis ships, and dragon tooth warships can't enter the inland waterway to take risks, and now it can only be like this.

Taichang sighed slightly again, then raised his head and said solemnly: "Jiandou, this time the main emphasis is on speed, if you fail to persuade to surrender, you can do it directly, and you don't need to talk to others."

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

There seems to be nothing left to say about the rest, because they have been preparing for almost a month, everything that needs to be planned has been planned, and everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.

Taichang thought for a while, then decisively waved his hands and said: "Let's go, everyone, I wish you a successful start and take down the capital of the Mughal Empire in one fell swoop."

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After all, a group of generals participating in the attack quickly went down to the top of the Emperor, boarded several Spike warships, and rushed to the Dragon warships under their command.

After a while, the huge fleet started to set off, and the soldiers of the Southeast Camp and Nanyang Camp on the shore also followed suit and pushed northward.

At this time, in Dhaka, the capital of Bengal, the guard Gupata had just received the news that the Ming army had assembled on the north bank of the Jiehe River.

This is the place where Shah Jahan led his army to land, and it is also an important food and grass transshipment base. The defense force is still quite strong. Shah Jahan left a full [-] infantry here.

Gupata is also confident to hold on for such a period of time and wait for reinforcements.

Because Captain White, the instructor of the Anti-Habsburg League, had analyzed it with him.

The Ming army's 10 men guarding the city wall alone blocked their army of more than one million, preventing them from advancing for more than half a year. His 5 men guarding a city would definitely be able to withstand the day when reinforcements came.

Well, Captain White really just wanted him to buy time.

It's no wonder that this small group of people can withstand the onslaught of millions of troops from the Ming Empire.

The problem is, if you can't stand it, you have to. It will take at least two months for their next batch of muskets and artillery to arrive here.

Moreover, Shah Jahan was captured by the Ming army. At this moment, Darashuko probably has no preparations yet.

He has to go to Delhi and let Darashuko raise an army to avenge his father.

If he doesn't stand up here, the Ming army will probably catch up with his ass, and then call an army of shit!

Gupata is foolishly guarding here, waiting for the reinforcements that cannot arrive, but Captain White wants a fast boat similar to a centipede boat, and rushes desperately to Delhi, rushing all the way back to the passing city. People cheer up, let others stand up and wait for reinforcements to come.

He really did his best to let the Mughal Empire consume the strength of the Ming Empire.

The question is, how much time can the cities along the way delay?
Dhaka City is only five hundred miles away from the north bank of the Boundary River. The Nanyang Fleet set off early in the morning, and before it arrived, it felt the vicinity of the port outside Dhaka City.

At this time, Gupata had not yet received the news of the Ming army's expedition.

Because the ships of the Daming Navy are so fast, they can't catch up even if they flatter them!

As soon as he received the report and boarded the city wall, the fleet of the Daming Navy had already swarmed up and headed straight for the port pier.

What the hell is going on here?
Gupata looked at the densely packed ships of the Daming Navy that could not be seen at a glance, and his whole body was numb.

Why did the Daming navy fleet rush over so quickly?

How could the hundreds of small boats at the port stand up to such a huge fleet?
Naturally, the small broken ships of the Mughal Empire couldn't stand up to the Spike warships of the Daming Navy. Their warships didn't even have guns, let alone artillery.

The only long-range attack means is to shoot arrows.

Question, do they have a chance to shoot arrows?
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the Spike Battleship were not vegetarians. Once they found someone raised their hand and raised a bow and arrow, they would immediately be rained down by bullets, smashing the person into a sieve in an instant.

After they overturned a few of the Mughal Empire sailors whose brains were flooded, the rest of them were so frightened that they quickly abandoned their boats and ran ashore frantically towards Dhaka.

Only then did Gupata remember that the city gate is not closed yet!
He hastily ordered: "Quick, close the city gate."

At this time, he didn't care whether those sailors had entered the city. Those who managed to enter the city were lucky, but those who didn't could only blame them for running too slowly.

On the Flying Dragon battleship in the distance, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the slowly closing gates of Dhaka City, and couldn't help snorting coldly: "Hmph, they dare to close the gates, it seems that they don't want to live anymore!"

Uh, isn't it normal for people to close the city gates when you come here to attack other people's cities?
Hearing this, Ahara next to him couldn't help asking with a strange face: "Master Lu, do we still have to go to persuade him to surrender?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head slightly and said: "No need, this Dhaka city is a strategically important place, and Shah Jahan will definitely leave his trusted generals to guard it. Even if such people can persuade them to surrender, it will take a lot of time.

We don't have time to ink with them, just fight directly! "

Uh, hit directly?
Can this siege be fought directly?

Don't you need to prepare siege equipment?
This Dhaka city is not small. Logically speaking, an army of 30 would have to build a siege machine for at least ten days to attack such a city, right?
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiangsheng directly ordered: "Gongming, you will lead 5 people to carry a thousand Thor cannons and a thousand rocket launchers up, and put them directly in front of the city wall for about a mile, and prepare to bombard them with ceramic incendiary bombs and rockets. Wall."

When Qin Gongming heard this, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The general will understand."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran to a cabin door, directly boarded a Spike warship connected next to him, and quickly rushed to the ship where his soldiers were on.

Lu Xiangsheng then ordered: "Yi Ming, you lead 5 people to carry [-] Thor cannons up, and line up the artillery array two miles in front of the city wall, and prepare to bombard the city wall with pig iron solid bullets."

When Qin Gongming heard the words, he also hastily cupped his hands and said: "The general will understand."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran to a cabin door, directly boarded a Spike warship connected next to him, and hurried towards the middle of the fleet.

Lu Xiangsheng then ordered: "Da Bi, you lead 5 people to carry the ladder up, and prepare to attack the city wall."

OK!

When Zu Dabi heard this, he cupped his hands excitedly and said, "I will understand."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran to a cabin door, directly boarded a Spike warship connected next to him, and asked his soldiers to prepare the ladder.

At this time, hundreds of Spike warships in front had already occupied the port terminal, and the small broken ships of the Mughal Empire were also dragged aside by them.

Dhaka was originally the transit base of the Mughal Empire. Naturally, a lot of docks were built on the port. Thousands of Spike Battlefields swarmed up. Qin Gongming soon brought 5 people to carry a thousand doors and two hundred catties. The Thor cannon and a thousand rocket launchers landed on the shore.

He just sorted out the formation a little near the pier, then waved and led 5 horses towards the city wall.

Could it be that these Ming soldiers are crazy!
Gupata didn't have a telescope, and he couldn't see clearly what they were carrying from a distance. He only thought that these Ming soldiers rushed up to climb the city wall carrying simple siege equipment!
There are at least 5 horses in the densely packed people, and now there are only a few thousand people on the city wall near the port.

He hastily ordered: "Quickly, gather [-] people who take a rest and come to the city wall immediately."

In the end, as if it was a false alarm, the Ming army did not rush to the city wall, and people far away stopped in their tracks.

At this moment, he also had a rough idea of ​​what they were carrying, which seemed to be cannons and a bunch of strange-shaped shelves.

artillery!

The artillery from this distance can definitely hit the city wall.

Gupata quickly ordered again: "Order, everyone should hide, stay under the arrow stack, and don't show your head."

After finishing speaking, he also shrank behind the arrow stack, and carefully observed through the archery hole.

What is unexpected is that after the artillery was set up neatly, they did not fire.

What exactly does the Ming army want to do?

Immediately afterwards, thousands of Spike warships approached the pier in turn, and another 5 horses swarmed up.

As a result, they parked farther away this time, and they just stood there and started placing things all the way away.

Gupata is inexplicable, what do these Ming soldiers want to do?
Immediately afterwards, thousands of Spike warships approached the pier in turn, and another 5 horses swarmed up.

This time, they started to line up near the pier, and they didn't rush forward at all.

Gupata's scalp was already a little numb.

Now there are more than [-] Ming troops!

He only has a total of 5 horses. Can this Dhaka city still be held?
Perhaps, they put on so many people to scare him, trying to scare him into surrender.

Surrender It is naturally impossible to surrender.

At least, blustering tactics are of no use to them.

Ah San's head is so hard, no matter how many horses you have, you can't scare them, unless you push them to the ground and beat them up, otherwise, they won't believe that you will beat them at all!
