916 defeated
When King Tang and King Fu heard this, they immediately glanced at each other.
Then, King Fu guessed a little worriedly: "Shouldn't it be that we won't be allowed to escape?" Look at what this lonely vassal country has been ruined by you! ”
King Tang was speechless when he heard this, and said with a little grievance: "I don't want to be alone, it's not that the imperial army didn't hold it." Then what Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire are all big powers, and the north and the south attack together, who can resist it? ”
After a pause, he became a little angry again, and said in a hateful voice: "I also lost money and food to send them money, and even sent troops, but even so, I still couldn't stop the enemy, and I spent so much money and food in vain." Never again! ”
When King Fu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to King Tang, nodded and said: "Yes, anyway, we control the military and political power of the vassal country ourselves, and we still have to rely on ourselves for everything!" ”
When King Tang heard this, he had a confidant expression on his face, and then changed the topic and said, "Let's see what King Meng has to say, right?" ”
"Good!" When King Fu heard this, this was the right matter, and he hurriedly agreed, and asked people to bring the envoy of King Meng.
After only a while, the envoy of King Meng arrived, and after seeing the salute, he said sonorously: "Our Royal Highness said that there are only vassal kings who died in battle in the Ming Dynasty, and there are no vassal kings who escaped. Otherwise, how will my Zhu family face the ministers? ”
"......" When King Tang and King Fu heard this, they were a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that King Meng would actually send someone to say this.
When he came to his senses, King Fu was not pleased, and immediately said to the messenger, "The enemy is strong, so I will retreat for the time being." You King Meng said lightly and capability, why didn't he try it himself? ”
"Our Highness has already led the army to rush here, please ask the two princes to pack up their troops and horses, don't let our clan lose face!" King Meng's envoy replied with his head held high.
King Fu was very depressed when he heard this, and when he was about to get annoyed, King Tang took the first step and said: "Okay, okay, I know, reply to you King Meng, and say that you know everything!" ”
As soon as the messenger had gone, he said to King Fu again: "That boy has led his army in the south before, and the battle has been smooth, and he thinks that he is as capable as his father." Why don't we take him as the leader and try a fight. It's best to win, but he can't win, and he won't ride on our heads to show off his might! ”
The emperor's own son, neither of them dared to offend directly.
When King Fu heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he complained a little, and ordered to stop going east.
Two days later, King Meng led his army, about 30,000 horses.
Wearing a full suit of armor and riding a snow-white high-headed horse, that's called a heroic posture! It's just this appearance, and it compares King Tang and King Fu all at once.
His vassal army also looks very good. At least compared with the armies of King Tang and King Fu, it is really very obvious.
King Meng met with the two vassal kings, and in their words and demeanor, as revealed in the news he had sent the messenger to bring them, he looked down on the incompetence of the two of them.
"I think I am a Ming Dynasty, I have won every battle, and I have opened up a territory that I have never had. Who can be an adversary in the world today? King Meng pointed to the west and said, "Since you have found all kinds of excuses to avoid war, then you can fight alone!" When the enemy is defeated, Lone will also play his father together, and he will definitely bring the scum in the Ming army to justice! ”
Hearing these words of his, King Tang and King Fu were red-faced. If it weren't for the fact that King Meng was Emperor Chongzhen's own son, they would definitely fight back. But at this time, after they glanced at each other, they began to talk and encourage King Meng.
King Meng is only in his early twenties, and it is smooth sailing, and he has not experienced setbacks at all. Before going south to fight and conquer cities, there were no decent opponents at all, and even the kind that surrendered when they heard the wind.
Therefore, when he heard that King Tang and King Fu had fled without a fight in the face of the enemy's attack, he was quite angry, so he led his troops to kill them.
So, at the instigation of the Tang King and the Fu King, King Meng took the lead and went west to face the battle, vowing to defend the honor of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, King Meng is not a fool, he walked with King Fu and King Tang and did not let them hide behind.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the place that was originally captured by the Persian Empire's army, King Tang and King Fu became nervous.
"Reporting the ......" did not stop the night and galloped closer, turned over and dismounted, and announced to the three vassal kings, "There is no Persian Empire army ahead, and the news that my subordinates have heard is that they have retreated to the southwest. ”
Hearing this news, King Tang and King Fu were suddenly a little dumbfounded. Could it be, that emperor of the Persian Empire is really a silver spear candle head, and after hearing that this side was counterattacked, he fled?
King Meng was even more excited, just as he had felt when he had attacked the south. So, he immediately gave the order excitedly, and the army pursued.
The Don king disagreed, and he wanted to retake Delhi. And as I said, there is still a war on the Lahore side, and there are Ottoman troops.
When King Meng heard this, he said with great regret: "It's all a group of rice buckets, and if you leave your father, no one will fight?" ”
After saying that, he immediately waved his hand and led the troops to Delhi and then to rescue Lahore.
King Fu wanted to go to Delhi to see, after all, this was the former capital of the Mughal Empire, and it must be better than him.
And just like that, the army marched towards Delhi.
Along the way, there were scattered soldiers of the Persian Empire, some thieves and bandits, and so on. But everyone who stood in the way of the great army was pushed over.
This time the battle was extremely easy. made many generals start to pat King Meng's ass. Even the generals on the side of King Tang and King Fu wanted to pat King Meng's ass when they saw that their vassal kings didn't see it.
There is no other reason, seeing that King Meng is more wise and martial than their vassal king, and most importantly, King Meng is the son of the current Emperor Ming.
The journey went very smoothly, and on this day, when it was almost time to reach Agra, the situation changed abruptly.
None of them thought of it, so they didn't know what was going on, and all of a sudden, Persian troops sprang up all over the mountains and fields, and they were taken by surprise.
King Meng hurriedly commanded the battle, but he was suddenly attacked, the military orders were not conveyed smoothly, and the troops of Tang Wang and Fu Wang fled quickly. In less than an hour, the armies of the three vassal states collapsed.
On the hill in the distance, Abbas II was here, sneering at the battlefield in front of him, and said to himself: "I am only afraid of the Ming Emperor alone, as for the rest, hehe, a cat and a dog, I still think I am a tiger!" ”
Originally, he hurriedly retreated, but the Hou army told him that the Ming army counterattacked and chased after him.
At first, Abbas II didn't want to pay attention to it, and it was important for him to flee first. As a result, unexpectedly, news came from the rear army one after another, saying that the Ming army behind them had committed a taboo on the march and had been chasing after them.
The shadow that was hunted down by Emperor Chongzhen before was the lingering dream demon of Abbas II. However, it is only limited to Emperor Chongzhen. Even because of this, it is very unpleasant to be chased like this. Eventually, Abbas II changed his mind and decided to pack up the Ming army behind him.
He wants to tell people that not everyone can touch his ass of Abbas II!
Nothing came as expected, the rapid march turned north and ambushed on the road to Delhi, and the raid was really successful against the rabble behind them.
According to the original plan, Abbas II had always been worried that Emperor Chongzhen would bite him, so he planned to win this battle, and after teaching them a hard lesson, he hurriedly continued to retreat west.
Unexpectedly, the captives captured by his subordinates got the news and immediately reported it to him.
"What?" Hearing this, Abbas II was a little incredulous, and immediately confirmed, "You said that there is a son of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom in the army?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's true!" His subordinates also replied in surprise, "It's their King Meng, who was originally on the Bengal side." But he was brave and brave, so he led the army to come. ”
Confirming the news, Abbas II immediately thought nervously. Weighing in his heart, even if the Ming Emperor came, the Ottoman army in Lahore would definitely be able to delay him for some days. Then, there will be another fight for Delhi, and it will take a few days. Calculate carefully, you should still have time.
Thinking of this, he ordered to immediately pursue and kill the defeated and fleeing Ming army, and within two days, he must hunt down those defeated troops and capture the son of the Ming emperor alive.
For the Persian army, Emperor Chongzhen was a mountain pressing on their hearts. In this way, the weight of Emperor Chongzhen's son is a bit heavy. After Abbas II gave the order, all of them were as if they had been beaten with blood.
NND, I can't beat you, can't I beat your son?
At this moment, the armies of the three major feudal states were unlucky.
Originally, I thought that the Persian Empire army would withdraw its troops, and they could breathe a sigh of relief. The three vassal kings fled, met each other, and were about to complain about each other when the Persian army appeared. So, if you didn't say anything, hurry up and run.
Run in front, chase behind, non-stop. Later, King Fu, who was riding in the car, was frightened, and if he sat down again, he would be caught, so he hurriedly changed his horse and fled.
However, King Fu is fat, he is usually pampered, and he has never ridden a war horse. This time, I was a little dumbfounded.
What to do, are you going to die here?
Faced with this situation, King Tang and King Meng also had no idea. Seeing that the pursuers of the Persian Empire are getting closer and closer, do you really want to throw King Fu here and die for the country?
King Fu cried, crying and complaining about King Meng, what kind of hero he was doing, now it's okay, I'm going to kill him!
At this time, King Meng completely lost his previous vigor, tasted the first setback on the road of life, and became silent. No matter what King Fu says, losing a battle is always an ironclad fact.
On the plain in the distance, there were traces of the Persian cavalry, looking for a way to cross the river.
"Run, run as far as you can." King Tang sighed and said to King Fu, "When the Persian Empire bypasses the river and chases, it will be too late!" ”
King Meng was still very unwilling in his heart, if the Persian Empire army dared to fight in an upright manner, he would not necessarily lose. It's just that I'm still running for my life now, and I don't have a chance!
With this in mind, he took one last look at the enemy on the other side of the river, and then prepared to continue his eastward retreat. But at this moment, he seemed to have fallen into the method of fixation, and he was stupid.
