Chapter 1328 Besieging Wei Isn't Saving Zhao
If Aurangzeb arrived in Delhi in time and defended Delhi with his ingenuity, then when Shah Jahan came back, he would have made a great contribution, and the heir to the throne would have been determined.

Thinking of this, Aurangzeb became more and more anxious. He even thought the infantry was too slow, so he led the cavalry and ran away.

The secret agents of Jinyiwei who were lurking along the way saw Aurangzeb leading the cavalry galloping past, and immediately reported the situation through the chat group.As a result, the Ming army on the Goa side was dispatched.Now that the troops of the Mughal Empire are here, this is not a toilet. How can they come and leave whenever they want?
Not to mention how the mixed horse and infantry army of the Ming army on the Goa side ravaged the infantry left behind by Aurangzeb.For example, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the army led by Shah Jahan has a large number of people, and the progress of work is fast.

Although the Ming army on the top of the city did not increase much as he estimated, it should be that the Ming army in the city has limited strength.However, the artillery of the Ming army far exceeded his expectations.

Although the Mughal army also had artillery, he had never seen any artillery that could hit farther and more accurately than the artillery of the Ming army!The siege equipment he had finally built, as well as his elephant army, were crushed by the artillery of the Ming army on the top of the city before they could reach the bottom of the city.Especially after the elephant was injured, it was out of control at all, and many of his soldiers were trampled to death, which caused chaos and led to the first siege, which ended without a problem.

Shah Jahan was not incompetent. The result of the first battle made him realize that the attack on Dhaka might not be as smooth as he imagined.The arrogance of the Ming army has a certain capital.The advantage of the artillery is very helpful to the defense of the city, which caused him a great headache.

After thinking for a while, he immediately ordered the auxiliary soldiers and servants to dig trenches and approach the city wall from the trenches, which would greatly weaken the power of the artillery.

As a result, the city of Dhaka immediately became full of enthusiasm.Relying on the large number of people, the Mughal Empire army dug shirtless and was far away from the range of the artillery.But to be honest, the range of the artillery is far enough, and it will take a lot of time to dig to the side of the moat. Even if the Mughal army can rely on the cover of night and get closer to the distance before digging, it still needs to be done. A lot of time.

Ordinary people may not think so, anyway, they will dig it out sooner or later.But for Shah Jahan, he was anxious. If the battle in Dhaka drags on for a long time, the more troops he brings, the greater the logistical pressure will be.The most important thing is that the Ming army was strong and cleared the field, and there was no supply at all in the Bengal area, and it had to be transported from its own territory. This kind of war really consumed the country's strength.

But since it is here, Dhaka must be brought down.Shah Jahan felt ruthless and personally supervised the process of digging the trench much faster.

On this day, seeing that the trench was almost dug near the moat, Shah Jahan finally looked a little better.Seeing him, his subordinates also breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed a lot, and flattered one after another.

"Khan is really wise. Just digging a trench with a simple move can easily break through the artillery of the Ming army. No matter how powerful the artillery of the Ming army is, there is no use for it. It is really amazing!"

"Nonsense, Da Khan is wise and powerful, who in the world is Da Khan's opponent. Don't say it's just Dhaka, Da Khan once conquered himself, you watch it, and he will soon be able to fight Dongwu!"

"..."

Hearing these words, Shah Jahan was also in a good mood, and said lightly: "Stop talking too much, and go back to prepare. Ben Khan will give you more time to prepare. It is scheduled to launch a general attack in three days and take Dhaka!" "

Hearing this, the generals below were all happy, and they all expressed that they must be the first to attack the city.What about melee combat, the Ming army is scum, and so on.It was as if the Ming army had no artillery to rely on, and they definitely had no power to fight back.

Just when they were happy, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the big tent, and the head of Shah Jahan's personal guard hurried in and said in a panic: "Khan, it's not good, there are Ming troops who landed by sea, and now they are rushing to attack." Delhi, please come back as soon as possible!"

"What?" The faint smile on Shah Jahan's face was thrown to Java Island in an instant, and he couldn't even sit still, so he stood up suddenly, leaned forward, and asked sharply, "Why?" matter, how is this possible?"

The trusted leader immediately stepped forward and delivered an urgent document.

In the big tent, there was no sound, and all the people of the Mughal Empire were dumbfounded.The main force was outside, but the Ming army suddenly appeared in the hinterland of the empire. Wouldn't it mean that a knife was directly inserted into the heart!

Shah Jahan tore it apart a few times and read it. Those with sharp eyes saw that Shah Jahan's hand holding the letter was slightly trembling, as if suffering from the kind of disease that old people often have.Seeing this, these sharp-eyed people felt something bad in their hearts. Even the wise Shah Jahan was afraid of this. Doesn't that mean that many Ming troops attacked the hinterland of the empire, and Delhi was about to fall?
Shah Jahan finished watching it once, and seemed to be watching it a second time, but he didn't speak anyway.His appearance made everyone worry. If there is something wrong with Derry, his family and wealth are all there, so what should he do?

They were in a hurry, and even a few of them were ready to move. The worry and urgency on their faces seemed to indicate that they wanted to persuade Shah Jahan to go back quickly.

But at this moment, Shah Jahan's face suddenly returned to normal, and he even showed a look of indifference. He tore up the letter paper in his hand, and said while tearing: "It really surprised Ben Khan, it turned out that it was just There are only two or three thousand Ming troops, and it is ridiculous to want to send the army back with just this little force!"

The letter paper in his hand has been torn into pieces and is still being torn, but Shah Jahan glanced at everyone below, and said coldly: "The Ming army used this trick, which shows that they are worried that Dhaka will be attacked by our army." Come on, I want our army to return to help immediately. If we really withdraw our troops immediately, we have fallen into their plan! It’s only two or three thousand Ming troops. Forgive them for not being able to defeat Delhi. Maybe they will be defeated by all local armies. .”

At this time, the letter paper in his hand had been torn to pieces, but instead of throwing it away, he held it tightly in his hand and announced loudly: "By Ben Khan's order, launch a general attack on Dhaka early tomorrow morning." , the first one to climb to the top of the city will be rewarded heavily by this Khan, and he will never break his promise!"

Careful people immediately felt something was wrong when they heard it.Just before, didn't Da Khan say that he should be well prepared, and the general attack was scheduled to be three days later?Why did it say that there will be a general attack early in the morning, not to mention that the trenches have not been dug in place, even the preparation time is not enough!Could it be... Could it be that the Great Khan was afraid of losing Delhi?
Although a few people guessed that this was the case, they dared not pierce the layer of paper. In case the Khan got angry, they couldn't bear the anger of the Khan.After these people left the camp, they found that the envoy who came to report the news had disappeared, and they felt even worse.But there is no other way, the only thing to do is to prepare with a heavy heart, hoping that there will be fewer casualties tomorrow morning, and that we can return to aid early after we take down Dhaka.

Early the next morning, when the sun was just rising, the Mughal army had already eaten, arrayed outside the range of the artillery, and prepared to enter the trench to attack Dhaka.

Except for his two panda eyes, Shah Jahan looked as usual, riding a tall horse to review the army in front of the battle.

This attack must be successful.Only by taking Dhaka in one fell swoop can he lead the army back to help, otherwise the 1 troops brought out may suffer heavy losses in panic.After all, the families of this elite army are basically in or near Delhi. More than [-] Ming troops landed from the sea to attack Delhi, which was really unexpected. With the current strength of Delhi, it may be difficult to last for a long time.

Shah Jahan thought so in his heart, and couldn't help feeling very bitter.If he had known this earlier, the army should have set off later, so that the Ming army could pass by the sea and never return!

After thinking for a while, Shah Jahan looked up at the position of the sun, and felt that he could not delay any longer, so he planned to make some calculations to boost morale and eliminate the blow caused by the first siege.

Breathing in his chest, Shah Jahan was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes.When Shah Jahan was about to start speaking, no one dared to discuss privately, and the scene was still very quiet.Because of this, the sound of the horse's hooves was extremely clear, and it also attracted everyone's attention, including Shah Jahan.

I saw a horse galloping from a distance, carrying a flag, showing that he was an urgent messenger.Looking at it, it was fine that the soldiers below didn’t know about it, but those civil servants and military generals felt a thump in their hearts. They turned out to be urgent messengers. Nine times out of ten, it was news about the Ming army in the hinterland of the empire, and it was definitely not good news!
Shah Jahan was also very worried. He knew how many Ming troops had invaded the hinterland of the empire, but no matter what, the war was imminent.Since I have decided to take Dhaka first and then return to the division, I have to persist until the end of this battle.

Thinking of this, Shah Jahan made up his mind.With a cold face, he first glanced at the civil servants and generals who followed him, and then watched the messenger gallop in front of him. Before the messenger could speak, he took the first step and shouted: "Isn't it that the Ming army is going to attack Delhi? Ben Khan has already found out, there is no need to report any more, just go down and rest!"

As soon as his personal guard heard this, he immediately stepped forward, ready to "help" the messenger to leave.

But who knows, the messenger refused to leave, but reported loudly: "The Great Khan, not only the Ming army, but also Gushi Khan in Tibet, also led a large army to attack Delhi, and now he is attacking from north to south with the Ming army. , Please return to the aid immediately, otherwise Delhi will be lost!"

As soon as the anxious shout came out, everyone was stunned, even Shah Jahan was no exception.

The Ming army's attack on Delhi has already made him extremely worried.However, in order not to let this mission fail, in order to cut off future troubles in Bangladesh, and in order to avoid problems that may be encountered when withdrawing troops, Shah Jahan acted as an actor for a while and concealed the news.

But who knows, the seriousness of the matter far exceeded his expectations.No matter how many calculations he made, it was impossible for Gushi Khan to come down from Tibet to attack Delhi at this time.Moreover, according to this report, Gushi Khan was still in the same group as the Ming army.The left-behind army in Delhi had already found it difficult to persist in the attack of the Ming army.Coupled with Gushhan's stabbing in the back, Delhi was basically in danger.

Derry was the capital of the Empire, his home, and the home of all his men.If the lair is taken away, the empire is likely to fall apart.This consequence was unbearable for Shah Jahan.

Although the battle to attack Dhaka is imminent, it must be withdrawn.After all, the preparations for Dhaka's attack were a bit hasty, and Shah Jahan was actually not sure whether he could win the battle.Moreover, the Ming army and Gushi Khan cooperated so well that they attacked Delhi when the army was on the march, which gave him an intuition that the Ming army had premeditated plans.

In this case, the city of Dhaka must have been prepared for the attack with its own army, and the possibility of being able to take it down at once is even lower.

Thinking of this, Shah Jahan was also decisive, and immediately issued an order to return to the army immediately, rescue Delhi immediately, and defeat the Ming army and Gushi Khan who attacked Delhi.

Above the city of Dhaka, through binoculars, Min Hongxue and others saw Shah Jahan’s actions in their eyes, and said with regret: “It seems that the news has come, it’s a pity, let the Mughal army attack again One city, consume more troops, and it will be much easier to turn around."

Hearing what Min Hongxue said, Ma Xianglin put down the binoculars, and immediately replied loudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Ge. With their morale at this time, they are rushing back to rescue, and they will follow behind. They will definitely kill them and regret that they dare not attack." !"

Zhang Fengyi heard it from the side, and couldn't help but glanced at her husband, and then followed her husband's words: "My husband's meaning, everything is under the orders of the old man, no matter how elite the Mughal army is, my husband is confident to defeat them!"

After hearing this, Min Hongxue smiled and said, "I still know about General Ma's bravery. After Shah Jahan leads the cavalry to leave and Jin Yiwei's spies pass the news back, General Ma can act."

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he was very happy, and immediately responded loudly with his hands clasped in his fists: "The last general obeys orders!"

Shah Jahan wanted to rescue Delhi, so it was naturally impossible to lead the army back slowly.Therefore, after he left with the cavalry, Ma Xianglin led the cavalry to harass and attack the panic-stricken Mughal Empire infantry, and Zhang Fengyi led the infantry to catch up after being confirmed by Jin Yiwei's spies.

This was an unequal battle. Before Zhang Fengyi's infantry could catch up, after being harassed by Ma Xianglin's cavalry for a day, among the infantry of the Mughal Empire, first the peasants collapsed and fled, and then the auxiliary soldiers. Finally the whole army broke up.

For this, Ma Xianglin was very annoyed, he felt that he held back all his energy, took a good look at the opponent's flaws, and when he was about to punch him, the opponent fell down by himself.

Dhaka's Min Hongxue Wenbao couldn't help but stroked his beard and smiled, and then he said to himself: "Next, let's look at the second step of encircling Wei!"
