Hearing the rapid sound of war drums, Aurangzeb was thinking about what the Ming army at the head of the city wanted to do, when he saw one of his men running up to him in a rage and praying to him: "Great Khan, smoke has come out of the tunnel, and only about twenty ...... have escaped from it."

Hearing this, Aurangzeb immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the entrance to the tunnel. Sure enough, at this time, although he was far away, he could see smoke rising. It can be seen from this that there is a lot of smoke in the tunnel!

Suddenly, he turned his head to look in the direction of the palace in the city, and his heart was extremely shocked: judging from the time when the smoke penetrated the entire tunnel, it seemed that when he sent his elite troops to the city, the city had already made these preparations? This means that the Ming army has long known about the existence of this tunnel?

Thinking so, Aurangzeb couldn't help but be furious. He was basically sure in his heart that it should have been that eunuch who had betrayed him a long time ago, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Ming army to know such a hidden tunnel exit.

Pity that eunuch, die for him, but he is still suspected, he died in vain!

At this time, there was movement in the direction of Delhi again, and Aurangzeb hurriedly turned his head to look. I saw that the city gate, which was originally close, was slowly opening. In the slowly opening of the city gate, a bright light was reflected.

Aurangzeb's eyes narrowed, and just as he was about to see clearly, he saw the light move. When he saw it clearly, he was shocked.

I saw that those who went out of the city were the Ming cavalry, tall war horses, burly soldiers, people and horses, wearing armor and reflecting the light. Just by looking at it from a distance, you can see that the defensive strength of that armor is definitely very powerful.

From the moment they left the city gate, the ironclad heavy cavalry was already slowly picking up speed, and the soldiers were pointing at the Mughal troops who were retreating.

That's right, among the more than 20,000 cavalry troops led by Emperor Chongzhen, there are 500 heavy-armored iron cavalry, and these 500 heavy-armored iron cavalry have never come in handy. Now, it's finally their turn.

The Ming banner fluttered, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent, and suddenly it looked like several moving iron walls, crashing into the evacuating enemy faster and faster.

Behind the five hundred heavily armored iron horsemen, there were ten thousand light horsemen to follow. Divided into two city gates, the fish rushed out, like two long dragons rushing straight to the Mughal army.

In a hurry, the Mughal siege troops, who were lagging behind and had no time to escape, hurriedly gathered and wanted to die and struggle.

However, what the ironclad heavy cavalry is for, it is used to charge into battle. After sprinting, it is simply not something that flesh and blood can stop. The hastily assembled Mughal army was washed away like papier-mâché.

Iron hooves like thunder, continue to pursue the Mughal siege troops who fled into the desert. It's like a herd of steppe lions, chasing their prey.

Seeing this, Aurangzeb couldn't help but be frightened.

Originally, his army suffered heavy losses because of the siege of the city, and just when he was withdrawn to rest, the Ming army actually used the iron-armored heavy cavalry as the spearhead and launched a cavalry charge. With such a powerful charge, it is not easy to fight even against the two armies, let alone at this moment of withdrawal.

"Quick, war elephant, war elephant, war elephant!" Aurangzeb cried out as if he had gone mad.

At this time, perhaps only the war elephant troops could stop the Ming army, so that he could gather his troops and reorganize the team.

However, the war elephants sent out were dispersed by the "10,000 enemies" left on the head of Delhi. The war elephants that were not sent out were all kept in captivity in the camp behind, after all, in siege warfare, who would have thought how many war elephants would be used.

At this point, Aurangzeb's cramming is of no use at all. The Ming cavalry, which went out of the city in two ways, drove the Mughal soldiers who fled in fear and let them influence more enemies. On the entire battlefield, there was no resistance at all, there was only slaughter, a one-sided slaughter!

In the city of Delhi, after the cavalry went out, they followed the infantry out of the city, and under the advance of the troops, those Mughal soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the cavalry charge were no longer spared.

At the other end, Abbas II, like Aurangzeb, ordered the withdrawal of troops. He was distressed that the siege troops had suffered heavy casualties when he heard loud noises coming from the two directions where the Mughal army was responsible.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves that caused the ground to shake, and hearing the shouts of killing that resounded through the heavens and the earth, Abbas II first felt a little inexplicable, and then immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to check the situation. At the same time, he quickened the pace of gathering troops.

In fact, before he could send someone to see the situation to come back to report, one of his subordinates came to tell him first: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Ming army went out of the city to raid, and the Mughal army was defeated!" ”

"What?" When Abbas II heard this, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, prepare for battle!" ”

At the first moment, he made a decision that no matter what, the Mughal army must not be defeated. If that's the case, he will have to bear the decisive battle with the Ming army.

At the same time as the order was given, he drove the war horse and hurriedly ran over to check the situation.

But before he could go around the city, he heard people around him shouting: "Your Majesty, there is a change in the Ming army, and the Ming army is going to leave the city......"

Hearing this, Abbas II hurriedly turned his head to look, and sure enough, he found that the two Delhi gates he was facing had been opened, and the Ming army inside was rushing out.

Seeing this situation, Abbas II hurriedly issued another order, telling the troops moving towards the Mughal army to stop and be ready to attack, so that the Ming army could not take the opportunity to sneak attack.

The continuous movement made the morale of the Persian army, which had been frustrated in the siege, invisibly depressed a lot, and the hasty execution of the army also seemed a little chaotic.

Just as the Persian army was adjusting, there was a very big movement from their flank.

When Abbas II heard this, he saw countless Mughal soldiers, without any formation, fleeing to them. Behind these Mughal fugitives were rows of Ming cavalry, chasing them.

Seeing this scene, how could Abbas II not know what was going to happen next, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ordered that the Mughal escapees must not be allowed to storm the military formation, and those who dared to attack the military formation would be shot and killed.

However, the Ming cavalry, at this time, was already driving away with light cavalry, and it was to drive these defeated soldiers to the side of the Persian Imperial army.

Although Abbas II's men continued to warn and even began to shoot the Mughal soldiers who fled the fastest, a large number of Mughal soldiers still fled to their side driven by the Ming cavalry.

In the direction of Delhi, the Ming infantry army had also left the city, and after regrouping, it began to move under the cover of the remaining cavalry. Obviously, as soon as the Mughal escapees broke through the ranks of the Persian army, they would pounce.

Seeing this, Abbas II could no longer care about wiping his sweat, and immediately ordered successive commands.

At the head of Delhi City, Emperor Chongzhen was watching from the top of the city here.

Because he knew that the morale of the Mughal army, which had been continuously pursued by the Ming army, would not be high. Deep down, a fear of the Ming army will also be formed. In the case of heavy siege losses, and knowing that the army they attacked through the tunnels had failed, morale would be even lower.

At this time, there was absolutely no problem in sending the cavalry and infantry army with ironclad heavy cavalry as arrows, and launching an attack while the Mughal siege troops were retreating.

Therefore, he didn't care about that side, and came to look at the Persian Empire's side to see if he could defeat the Persian army in one fell swoop.

But this time, it still disappointed Emperor Chongzhen.

That Abbas II, apparently as the master of the Persian Empire, still has the ability. Under his command, he slowly retreated, barely withstanding the impact of the Mughal defeat and holding the formation out of chaos.

Seeing that there was not much opportunity, Emperor Chongzhen was not annoyed, but just smiled and gave an order, allowing the army outside the city to return to the city after sweeping away the remnants of the Mughal army.

This battle definitely crippled Aurangzeb's army, and it should not pose much threat to the Ming army in the future. All that's left is to deal with the Persian Empire's army.

……………………

At this time, Aurangzeb was indeed fine, and after seeing that it was useless to organize a counterattack, he fled as soon as possible.

In the evening, the Ming army collected its troops and returned to the city. It was only then that he came out of hiding, raised his royal banner, and gathered his fleeing men under his banner.

Until the next morning, Aurangzeb's men did not exceed 10,000 in the end. Looking at the corpses scattered all over the city, he knew in his heart that not even half of the men who were really dead, and even more of them did not return after escaping.

Now, there is a thorny problem waiting for him to solve. Upon hearing Odom's message, Aurangzeb turned his head to look at the Persian army camp far away from Delhi. If it had been before, he would definitely have gone on his own. But now, he only had less than 10,000 troops left, so he didn't have the confidence to do so, and finally sent Odom over.

After about half an hour, Odom finally met Abbas II, and felt the change in attitude on the other side, and he finally mustered up the courage to make a request.

"What? Ask me for food? When Abbas II heard this, he immediately said angrily, "This is the Mughals, I am a guest army, unlike you who have already asked for food, you still want to ask me for food?" ”

knew that it would be difficult to get food, but Odom also had to bite the bullet and say: "In yesterday's battle, if you hadn't killed so many of our soldiers, we wouldn't have been defeated, and we couldn't keep the camp and were robbed by the Ming army......

"Ah...... "Abbas II has grown so big, and he has never seen such an unreasonable person, and suddenly he laughed out loud in anger.

"Hehehe......"
