Chapter 390: The Fall of the Mughal Empire III
Even if the firepower of the Ming army completely suppressed the firepower of the Mughal army, the attack on this fortress still suffered heavy losses, this kind of strong Western-style and Arabic-style fortress, the outer trench is more than ten zhang wide, more than one zhang deep, the inside of the trench is a slope, it is a large angle slope, it is difficult to climb. When the troops climbed the inclined embankment, they would be subjected to crossfire from prismatic and triangular fortresses such as triangular forts, hollow forts, and solid forts, and there were almost no dead spots to dodge.
Fortunately, Shang Zhixiao did not care about the casualties of the Turks at all, and ordered the captured Turkic people to attack the castle where the Mughal army was entrenched at any cost.
Groups of Turkic people carried improvised moats and bridges to settle the castle, and were immediately hit by fire from various fortresses, with gunfire, artillery and explosions mixed together, and in front of the trenches there were layers of Turkic corpses, and the trenches were also filled with corpses. The soldiers of the Second Western Expeditionary Army behind them were all a group of former Green Battalion and Han Eight Banner soldiers, these scum didn't think about any national unity and freedom of religious belief at all, they brandished leather whips, and drove the Turkic people to carry sandbags to fill the trenches.
The Turks who arrived at the edge of the trench had just picked up the sandbags and were about to throw the sandbags into the trench, and were immediately hit by cross-fire from above the castle, all kinds of bullets sprayed out from the shooting holes, and dense shells were also fired from the forts on both sides, and the shells fired from both wings formed a cross-fire, hitting the people and the strong crowd, all of which were directly pierced, and a shell could often take away more than ten lives before it stopped bouncing.
Not only were large numbers of Turkic people killed under the castle, but even the original Green Battalion soldiers and Han Eight Banner soldiers of the Second Western Expeditionary Army also suffered serious casualties, and shells and bullets continued to fall in the formation of the original Green Battalion and Han Eight Banner soldiers, causing great losses. A soldier of the Eight Banners of the former Han Dynasty was wielding a knife to drive the Turks to fill the trenches, and when he saw several Turks retreating, he waved his knife and cut down several Turks in a row, at this moment, suddenly a cannonball whistled and smashed a Turkic man in front of him, and the cannonball hit the soldier of the Second Western Expeditionary Army of the Eight Banners of the former Han Dynasty straight, and the huge energy of the cannonball smashed the soldier and turned into a blood mist flying in the air.
Seeing that the corpses were piled higher and higher, but the trench was not even filled, Shang Zhixiao was so sad that his hair turned white. Not only the Turkic people suffered heavy losses, but Shang Zhixiao's own survival of the original Guangdong Green Camp and the Guangdong Han Eight Banners also suffered heavy losses, and even some of the original Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners also suffered heavy losses in this battle.
The Mongols and Manchurian soldiers in the Second Western Expeditionary Army were also very brave in battle, they carried guns to the fortress and suppressed the fire on the shooting hole, but the Mughal soldiers hid behind the shooting hole and shot condescendingly, causing huge losses to the original Guangdong Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, and the original Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners who were responsible for the task of suppressing the fire suffered heavy casualties under the castle.
The Mughal army fought very stubbornly, although the castle had been bombed to pieces, and many bastions and triangular forts had been blown into ruins, but the Mughal soldiers bravely climbed up the ruins, endured the overwhelming shells, and bravely fired with muskets at the Turks attacking below.
On the ruins of the castle, there are many bloody Indian corpses, but these Indian soldiers are like chicken blood, fearless of death, desperate resistance.
"Second prince, you can't fight like this, if you continue to fight, the brothers are all done, what will we do to compete with the eldest prince at that time?" A Mongolian general tried hard to persuade Shang Zhixiao in front of him.
At this time, someone offered a plan: "Didn't they Turks believe in some true god of their hearts?" We can take advantage of this and let the Turks go and blow up the castle. ”
"Brilliant plan! Hinduism and the Celestial Sect were mortal enemies, telling them that all Hindus were devils and should be sent to hell of fire! And the Turks who died in battle could enter heaven. Shang Zhixiao laughed.
About half an hour later, the Ming army launched another attack, and the first in front were either Turkic or Proto-H cultists, these fanatics brainwashed by the true god, before they set out, they shouted: "Kill all the infidels!" Believe in God and go to heaven! For those who do not believe in the true God, we will send them to hell according to the will of the true God! ”
What is Heaven? It is a paradise with milk and honey flowing in the river, and there are seventy-two virgins in heaven (women are waiting for those who believe in the true God, as long as they can send the heathen to the fire hell from which they will never recover, and the warriors who believe in the true God can ascend to heaven.
Celestial religion advocates equality between people, while Hinduism divides people into five classes, in addition to the first four ranks, there are the lowest, high-caste people if they are touched by their shadow, they have to go back to bathe, pray to eliminate the untouchables of the disaster, and in the South Asian subcontinent, almost all the Celestial believers are more evil than the untouchables in the eyes of the Hindus, and these alone make the Celestials unbearable.
"But there are many Indians who share our beliefs." This was raised.
But they were immediately refuted by others: "Although they believe in the true God as much as we do, they are willing to die for a group of wicked infidels, they are heretics, a group of heretics who have sold their souls to the devil, and they are worse than the infidels!" They deserve hell more than pagans. ”
Some people even frantically created something called a bomb vest, which has more than a dozen pockets, each pocket is full of bombs, as long as the pull of the fire rope hanging around the neck, it can cause a violent explosion. Because the bomb vest requires special mines (mercury to detonate the high explosives, those high explosives with stable performance will not explode even if they are directly hit by the bullet, or if the open flame is denied, so it is very safe, and it is almost impossible for a meat bullet to be hit and trigger a violent self-explosion and kill a piece of your own meat bomb.
The Ming attack was launched again, and after the heavy shelling, groups of Turks and H-Christians shouted the slogan "Long live the true god" and launched a suicide attack on the castle without fear of death.
Piles of Celestial Cultists fell under the fortress and in the trenches, and more people poured up. Eventually, two Celestial Cultists climbed up the trench, shouting the slogan "Long live the true god", and pulled their bomb vests under the fortress, and with a loud crack of the sky, one of the fortresses collapsed.
"Kill!" The Ming army behind shouted and rushed through the trench and poured into the city.
This battle made Shang Zhixiao feel shocked: "Such a group of people have been brainwashed, if those survivors brainwash other Tianfang cultists after the war, then our Ming Dynasty will not face a human bomb attack that comes out of nowhere every day?" I am afraid that this incident will leave a serious aftermath. ”
Li Guangdi laughed: "Don't worry, it's a big deal to send these brainwashed Celestial Sectarians to Europe, and let them brainwash other Celestial Cultists in Europe, so that they won't harm us." ”
