Turning the mountain pass, as Jimuda expected, he saw Delhi, the Mughal capital in the distance, which had been surrounded by the Ming Dynasty. However, on the head of the city of Delhi, the Mughal flag is still flying, and it should not have started yet.

Finally arrived in time! Dalantai thought to himself, but found that a group of cavalry was galloping towards this side, and it was not far away. The one at the head seems to be still a general.

"It's ...... Is this here to greet you? Dalantai couldn't help but think in surprise, how did he know that his side would lead the army to arrive at this time?

Because it was a hurried march, behind Dalantai, there were all soldiers who came in a hurry. However, the Ming envoy was naturally with him, and of course he also saw the cavalry that came over, and after looking at it a little, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhou Dashuai, Zhou Dashuai......"

Dashuai is the title of the general military position of the Ming army. Dalantai knew this, so he couldn't help but feel a little flattered that a general soldier came to greet him.

The one who came to greet him was Zhou Yuji, who was reappointed as one of the chief soldiers of the hussar battalion, and the Ming envoy was sent from the palace, so he naturally knew him. At this time, he was already approaching, so he stopped his horse and smiled and clenched his fists and said, "I've seen Qincha!" This is His Royal Highness the Third Prince? Your Majesty has commanded me to come and greet you! ”

After hearing this, the Ming envoy nodded hurriedly, and introduced them to each other by the way.

Then, without waiting for the people behind, they went to Delhi first. Anyway, since Dalantai has arrived, he naturally wants to visit the Ming Emperor as soon as possible.

"You're here at last, or you won't have your share in this Delhi!" Zhou Yuji smiled and turned his head to the Ming envoy and Dalantai and said.

Among them, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty is respected, representing Emperor Chongzhen, so he walks in the middle.

Hearing this, Dalantai turned his head and crossed the Ming envoy, looked at Zhou Yuji, and asked in surprise: "Delhi is about to break through?" How many days have you been attacking? ”

Zhou Yuji listened, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's just surrounded, I haven't attacked it." But the emperor said that the city was only broken in these two days. ”

"......" Dalantai was speechless when he heard it. For so many days, they are just besieged but not attacked, so why did Emperor Ming say that the city was only broken in these two days?

He was suspicious, but the Ming envoy was not suspicious at all, and immediately laughed and said: "It's a shame that we rushed to the army, no, we really caught up!" ”

Well, you all trust your emperor so much, if I show a little doubt, it is disrespectful to the Ming Emperor. Thinking so in his heart, Dalantai could only smile and agree.

In the depths of his heart, of course, he didn't believe it. After all, Delhi was the capital of the Mughal Empire and one of the strongest Mughal cities. If you haven't attacked it once, you can guarantee that you can capture it? Suspend!

………………

About half an hour later, Dalantai arrived at the camp outside Delhi and was received by Emperor Chongzhen.

After Dalantai's salute, Emperor Chongzhen cordially congratulated Gushi Khan's health, and then said to him: "Qing has done a good job, the loss of the headquarters is not much, but it can make trouble in the northeast of the Mughal Empire, let the Mughal Shashuja department go back and forth, and finally create a fighter for me." Therefore, I deliberately waited for you to arrive before taking Delhi. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Although Dalantai didn't believe it in his heart, he immediately responded to Emperor Chongzhen's words without a little hesitation.

Emperor Chongzhen then also commended the envoy he sent to the Heshuo Special Department, who was one of the eight people he originally jumped out of the inner study hall to cultivate, and named him the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi.

Then he said to his generals: "If I am right, the Mughal Shah Jahan will be in Delhi in about three to six days." Therefore, the Qing and others prepared to attack the city tonight. ”

"The last general obeys!" When many generals heard this, they immediately clenched their fists and received the order, and their voices were loud.

Among them, of course, it also includes Dalantai. But he was surprised in his heart. Because he found that whether he listened to what others said, or now that he saw Emperor Chongzhen with his own eyes, he always felt that Emperor Daming seemed to be very confident in doing things, and what he calculated was what it was?

Is it really that powerful?

Dalantai thought so in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, didn't the Ming Emperor say, the Mughal Shah Jahan will come soon, and the Ming army will attack the city tonight, so wait and see!

Then he received the order and went to arrange for his men to set up camp.

Emperor Chongzhen, on the other hand, continued to observe the information in the eavesdropping system.

As for Shah Jahan's side, when he will leave from Mumbai, he knows. Then, on the basis of what was known about the road from Mumbai to Delhi, an estimate was made at the top and best speed of the cavalry, and the previously announced conclusions were reached.

As for this Delhi, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen arrived, he chose the Mughal generals who appeared in the city, as well as civil officials or something, anyway, looking at who would have a bigger official position, he scattered a bunch of C-level eavesdropping seeds.

In the past few days, although he did not attack the city, he had a clear understanding of the situation in the city.

I have to say that Emperor Chongzhen suddenly led the army to kill this time, and he also turned the infantry brought by Sha Shujia into a part of the Ming army, which greatly shocked the defenders in the city. It is not an exaggeration to describe the city as panicked all day long.

Don't look at Delhi as the capital of the Mughal Empire, however, when Shah Jahan set out on the expedition, he had already taken some of the elite with him. When Shashuja went to the northeast, he also took some of the elite with him. After returning to the division, he thought about a decisive battle with the Ming Emperor, so he took some more.

After going back and forth like this, the number of troops in Delhi City is really not much.

These days, it's not true that Emperor Chongzhen just besieged the city and then did nothing. Instead, they make the gesture that they can attack the city at any time, and the possibility of this siege is adjusted according to the tension of the defenders in the city. It can be said that he has been pulling the tense strings of the defenders of the city all the time.

In addition, when there was nothing to do, he also asked those Mughals to shout in unison in the city, shouting about the disposal after the city was broken. It is the matter of uniting the middle and lower classes to fight local tyrants, and it has been said a lot, and it has spread in the city.

Under the strong pressure of the Ming army outside the city, as well as the tension of the powerful people in the city, there have been several tense transitions and forcibly suppressed some soldiers and untouchables who looked like they wanted to rebel.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen was sure to say that the night attack on Nacheng was that the defenders on the southeast corner of the city had slept laxly for two consecutive days after midnight.

Today, Dalantai's troops have just arrived in a hurry, and in the eyes of the defenders at the head of the city, they must have to rest for a day or two before attacking the city. In other words, the Ming army has not been attacking the city, and it may be waiting for this army. Then, in a day or two, it is estimated that the beginning of the dangerous defense of Delhi. In that case, it's time to take a break.

This mentality, Emperor Chongzhen not only guessed, but now, he has also confirmed the information fed back by the numerous C-level eavesdropping seeds in the eavesdropping system.

So, on the surface, on this day, the Ming army outside the city seemed to have given up threatening the city, and they all went to welcome the new army, and the trouble was relatively big, and then they camped and transported supplies over, as if they were still holding a celebration or something, and it was lively to watch.

When the defenders at the head of the city saw it, they were all relieved.

At about four o'clock in the morning, that is, at four o'clock in the morning, Emperor Chongzhen personally led the Ming soldiers who were selected for a night attack and quietly came to the southeast corner of Delhi.

As in the previous two days, the defenders of this part of the wall were still very lax, and they almost fell asleep again.

The sunrise time in Delhi is around half past six in the morning, so to speak, four or five o'clock in the morning is the most sleepy time for people.

After Emperor Chongzhen reconfirmed the situation on the city wall through the eavesdropping system, he personally deployed the details of stealing the city. It mainly points out where there are people in the city and how many people there are.

After explaining everything, he said to Li Laiheng, who was in the lead: "As soon as Delhi fights, the first merit will be given to Qing and others, and I will wait for your good news!" ”

When Li Laiheng heard this, he immediately led his generals to salute a military salute, and replied in a low but solemn voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the first merit, the end will be decided!" ”

Then, he led his soldiers to act quietly.

Emperor Chongzhen did not leave, but was just outside the city, focusing on the eavesdropping system, observing the movements of the defenders of Delhi. In case of any situation, he can immediately dispatch troops to deal with Li Laiheng's troops.

Before, although he seemed very confident, as if he didn't look at the defenders of Delhi, but at the beginning, he was still very serious and didn't dare to be careless.

However, others couldn't see it, they just saw that after Emperor Chongzhen's action began, he sat in the military tent and closed his eyes to recuperate, as if he didn't care about the situation outside at all.

This cultivation during the war is worthy of the emperor!

The 20,000 cavalry troops brought by Emperor Chongzhen were the elite of the Ming army. Emperor Chongzhen selected a few hundred elites from these 20,000, requiring no night blindness and proficient in the battle of cold weapons, all of whom were agile and brave, and it was not a difficult task.

When Li Laiheng was still a thief, he knew how to steal the city, so this operation was very familiar. At first, he called him a cautious.

Unexpectedly, when he went up to the city through the flying claws, and when he reached the defenders of the city, he could still see this group of Mughal soldiers still sleeping soundly. This made him a little embarrassed, should he just start or wake him up first and then send him back to the West?

At the same time, Li Laiheng had to sigh, the emperor was so powerful, he even counted the defenders here sleeping to death! Just thinking about this, he was suddenly shocked, could it be the emperor's practice that he conjured up a sleepy insect to make these Mughal soldiers sleep soundly, right?
