Hikten carefully led the war horse and slowly stepped on the pedals of the deck barge to the shore, at this time the banks of the Yamuna River were very lively, the voices of people were boiling, and the war horses neighed.

"A row, all gather here, move a little faster, hurry up, ......"

The platoon commander's loud voice came from a distance, and Hikten hurriedly led the war horse and trotted to the platoon assembly point, and before he could stand firmly, he heard the platoon commander shouting at him: "Hikten, you are in charge of the whole team, I want to go to the camp for a meeting...... By the way, you will lead the people to bring back the supplies in the platoon in a moment. ”

After the platoon commander finished speaking, he stepped on the war horse and left, and it was the first time for Hikten to sort out the queue, and he was inevitably nervous. But at this time, he couldn't care less, and came to the front of the queue with his scalp, shouting: "Look to the right...... Looking ahead......"

Although I don't know how many times I've practiced in private, I still don't have much confidence when I shout it now. Fortunately, although these soldiers and ruffians try their best to make fun of him, the big guys still give him face at this time.

When he sorted out the queue and saw that everyone was quite supportive of his work, the original tension calmed down a lot. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Squad leader, you and the first squad will follow me to get supplies......

The supplies received by the troops in Calcutta have been exhausted in the past few days, and the largest consumption of the troops' materials is the concentrate fodder of the war horses, followed by the field rations of the officers and men. Each war horse is equipped with two large backpacks behind it, and the most is the feed of the war horse.

The field supplies of the Far Eastern Army are all modular packaging and have a complete field logistics supply system. Including field food, war horse feed, drinking water, first-aid kits, medicines, ammunition and other materials, can be distributed to all grassroots units as soon as possible.

After a while, the company commander and platoon commander they returned, bringing orders from the battalion headquarters. The officers and men of the cavalry division all mounted their horses and left the banks of the Yamuna River to patrol the area near the city of Agra in battalions.

Qiao Haipeng, Lin Hua and others, under the leadership of the commander and political commissar of the Northern Army, came to the temporary command post by the river. Everyone gathered in front of the map, and Qiao Haipeng said in a deep voice: "The current situation is not bad, according to the news from the Ministry of Intelligence and the air boat unit. The Mughal Emperor Rajahan and the royal family did not evacuate, but chose to retreat into the Agra Fort, hehe...... It seems that they did not yet understand the situation on the battlefield, and they were quite confident in the defense of Fort Agra.

Now let the troops land as soon as possible, and after the landing of the troops, they will begin to besiege the city of Agra and the fort of Agra, and it is imperative that the attack on the fort of Agra be launched early tomorrow morning according to the predetermined plan. We are trying to break through Agra Fort in the shortest possible time. Capture alive Rajahan is extremely a direct bloodline of the Mughal royal family. As long as the Mughal emperor is eliminated, the Indian campaign is half the battle. ”

Everyone listened to Qiao Haipeng's words, and they all responded loudly. Then they left the headquarters of the Northern Army one after another to direct the troops to make the final preparations before the siege. Because of the relatively large size of the Northern Army, if you want to deploy your troops and launch an attack early tomorrow morning, the time is still very tight.

Raja Khan, along with the royal family and numerous ministers of the empire, was standing on the walls of the Agra Citadel, holding binoculars and observing the Far Eastern Army along the Yamuna River. Facing a large number of river deck barges that almost covered the surface of the river. Rajahan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

He did not expect that the Far Eastern Army's surprise attack on Agra's army would be on such a large scale. The number of people should be tens of thousands, and at first glance it is an elite army. The distance from the coast of Bengal to Agra is more than 1,000 kilometers, and the supply of so many troops is an astronomical amount.

Moreover, the Far East Army also invested a large number of troops in the Indus Valley, the coastal areas of the south and Bengal, and the Far East Company not only had a strong navy, but also a strong army. The Far East gang looked mild. I didn't expect that once they showed their fangs, they would really be a behemoth.

They knew very well that the officers and soldiers of the Far East gathered along the banks of the Yamuna River were definitely the best of the best, even the elite of the Persian Muslims he had seen before. Nor can it be compared with these people under the city.

An old minister in charge of the imperial military next to him hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, just in case, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Far Eastern Army is not firmly established, you can lead the elite royal guards to break through, and it will be too late if you don't leave......"

After listening to the old minister's words, the others also persuaded one after another, and they all advocated that Raja Khan should take advantage of this opportunity to lead his army to break through, at least the empire still had a large number of troops loyal to Rajahan in the north, and it was indeed too risky for him to hold on to Agra Fort.

Rajahan shook his head with a wry smile, and then said with a smile: "Agra Fort has such a strong city defense, we can defend the city, I really want to see how the Far East can break Agra Fort." The governors of all parts of the empire are mobilizing on a large scale, and they will soon be brought in reinforcements, and as long as we hold the fort of Agra, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose in the end. ”

When everyone heard Rajahan say this, they all stopped persuading and went to arrange the city defense. Rajahan glanced at the departing crowd, then turned to look at the Far Eastern Army that was landing along the Yamuna River in the distance, and a smile appeared on his face.

He sat on the throne of the Mughal Empire in 1628, and in order to compete for Afghanistan, he led troops to fight against the Persian Safavid Empire all the year round.

Although the empire was extremely passive due to the surprise attack of the Far East, he firmly believed that as long as he withstood the onslaught of the early Far East, once the Mughal Empire army survived, it would still be able to repel the Far East in the end.

Because the Far Eastern Army crossed the sea and went on an expedition, the troops were already insufficient, and the Far East actually divided the troops into three routes, and the more than 100,000 troops could be said to be massive in the materials needed by the army every day, and the Far Eastern Army was so nonsense that it would be good to be able to hold on to the offensive for a few days.

Even if the Far East raided all the way along the Ganges River to the city of Agra, it would be a fool's dream to easily conquer Agra Fort with tens of thousands of elites from the Far East alone. If the Far East can't be attacked for a long time, when the elite iron cavalry of the empire arrives from all over the country, these tens of thousands of elites in the Far East will only end up.

In fact, Rajahan's idea is not wrong, at least according to the war model of this era, it is absolutely nonsense for the Far Eastern Army to be arranged like this. Tens of thousands of elites raided along the Ganges River all the way to Agra City, which seemed to be a clever move, but in fact, it was also a taboo for soldiers.

Tens of thousands of Far Eastern troops went thousands of miles deep alone, without logistical support, and once they were consumed under the city of Agra, they would inevitably fall into an extremely dangerous situation. It's easy to get in then, but it's hard to get out. (To be continued.) )
