Chapter 1099: Strange Troops
***
Shashuja in Bangladesh and Murad in Gujarat. After Bach became emperor one after another, the once powerful Mughal Dynasty appeared three emperors at the same time, showing a three-legged trend.
Aurangzeb, who was fighting with the Dzungar army in the city of Gernar in the north, was so angry that he almost vomited blood after receiving the news that his brothers had been proclaimed emperor one after another;
Especially after watching his younger brother Murad. After Bach wrote to him, if he believed in Buddhism, he must have been so angry that one Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.
However, the onslaught of the Dzungar army left him no time to clean up the mischievous brother, who, to this day, he still believes, is not the main scourge.
His main opponent should be his second brother Shashuja, and before he led the Northern Expedition, he had already sent his most capable officer, Alain. Yar led an army of 50,000 to attack Bengal Province.
Aurangzeb thinks that as long as he cleans up his second brother Shashuja, the naughty brother in Gujarat will be honest. What he had to do now was to defeat the Dzungar army outside the city of Gernar as best he could, while waiting for Alain. Good news from Yar.
Gernar is located on the right side of the Yamuna River, a flat river, full of greenery, here has been rich since ancient times, and is known as "paradise on earth".
If India is compared with Great Qin, then the Punjab region is equivalent to the Jiangnan of Great Qin.
Qin Mu, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, is no longer in charge of the imperial expedition at every turn, but sits in the Great Qin Palace in Nanjing, but his will is everywhere;
From Japan, to Mobei, to Central Asia, to Europe, to Africa, to India, Qin Mu's will is like the longitude and latitude of the earth, constantly spreading, covering and influencing the world.
The Mughal Dynasty, which had just entered its heyday, because of the person sitting on the Danqi in the Great Qin Palace in Nanjing, because of the influence of his will, the 50,000 troops of the Dzungar Department suddenly entered the Indus Valley and caught the Mughal Dynasty off guard. In a short period of time, it became embattled and crumbling.
The monk had no need to worry about logistics, he had now swept through the two richest provinces of Lahore and Multan, leaving behind an army of 10,000 men to defend it, and with the help of the local Sikhs, the logistics were constantly coming.
Siege warfare was not the strong point of the Dzungar cavalry, but fortunately, he brought 30 thousand pounds of Fran cannons and bombarded the city of Gernard. The cannon roared, and huge projectiles roared and hit the city wall, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth. The yellow dust is flying, which is thrilling.
The city gate tower was ravaged by cannonballs, and collapsed with a bang, crushing many Mughal soldiers underneath, and then there were projectiles that slammed into the city wall, shaking the city wall violently, as if it would collapse at any moment, and people stood on the city wall, almost unsteady.
The lethality of solid bullets against individual soldiers is not very large. The worst thing is its amazing deterrent;
Imagine when a boulder roars at you, once it hits, it will be shattered, facing this thrilling threat. How many people can stand?
Over time, this can be a fatal blow to morale.
Fortunately, the Mughal Empire also had artillery, and Aurangzeb ordered a fierce return fire. Up and down the city, the cannons roared, and they responded to each other. Thick gunpowder smoke filled the wilderness.
Subsequently, Aurangzeb ordered 10,000 men and 10,000 men to be killed from the east and west. The Mughal army was very complex and somewhat dizzying. Among them were elephant soldiers, cavalry, infantry, shields, bows and arrows, swords and spears, and a small number with front-loading muskets.
What is strange is that there are snake charmers in the Mughal army, and there are twenty or thirty people in the army, with poisonous snakes wrapped around their necks and arms, and a bamboo cage around their waists, which are full of poisonous snakes.
It is said that at the beginning of the war, at the beginning of the confrontation between the two armies, these snakes made a sharp whistle from their mouths, and at the same time sprinkled a special medicinal powder on their hands, and then poured out all the poisonous snakes, and the poisonous snakes swam quickly in the grass towards the enemy's army like soldiers who heard orders.
As soon as the enemy's army was thrown into disarray under the attack of poisonous snakes, the cavalry of the elephant soldiers would rush forward and crush the enemy.
In addition to the snake charmers, there is also an even more mysterious unit, which I heard is specially used against cavalry, called the Tiger Bone Force.
This tiger bone unit is smaller in number, and it is said that each of them has a special skill, which is to use the resonance of the belly and throat to produce a special vibration sound, similar to the low roar of a tiger.
At the same time, they will also bring real tiger bones, or tiger feces and urine, the enemy war horse hears this low tiger roar, and then smells the smell of the tiger, they will be restless, do not listen to the command, strict words, and even frighten the enemy's war horse to flee the battlefield.
Don't say it, as the Tiger Bone Force approached, the war horses in the Sangha army really began to be restless.
The monk was shocked and had to order the withdrawal of the army.
However, as soon as his order was issued, the whole army could not help but be in an uproar.
Sang'er Letaiji, who was sent by Dzungar Khan Batur to assist the monks, hurriedly found him and persuaded: "Your Royal Highness, do you have other plans?" However, withdrawing the army in this way, without consulting with the army in advance, it is easy to cause the army to be in turmoil. ”
The monk said calmly: "Don't worry about Sang'er Letaiji, what about the chaos of the army?" The enemy has few cavalry, and even if our army is in turmoil, Aurangzeb will not be able to catch up with us. ”
This is true, the tens of thousands of troops of the monks are all cavalry, coming and going, and Aurang Zebu has an army of 90,000, but it is even more difficult to pursue.
In this way, tens of thousands of Dzungar troops were "frightened" by some tiger bones and fled. The 20,000 Mughal troops were overjoyed and chased after them.
When Aurangzeb received the report and hurriedly sent people out of the city to recruit back the 20,000 troops, the monks had already made a quick decision and killed the 20,000 Mughal army.
Fortunately, Aurangzeb was a man with a lot of combat experience, and he sent people to meet him in time, so that the 20,000 Mughal army was not wiped out.
The Sangha has won another great victory, capturing a large number of weapons and supplies, and gaining even more momentum! The monk is even more energetic and cheerful.
A few years ago, Dzungaria also dominated Moxi for a while, defeated Tsarist Russia, defeated the Kazakhs, Brut, and finally destroyed the Yarkand Khanate.
But since encountering the Qin army, Dzungar has been defeated again and again, and there is almost no place for him. Southern Xinjiang is full of wind and sand, barren and bitter cold, and cramped in southern Xinjiang is like an ant at the feet of Daqin, the emperor of Nanjing Daqin Palace can trample Dzungar to death as long as he is unhappy, and the younger brother of the monk, Galdan, is still left in Nanjing as a hostage.
Since entering the Indus Valley, the Punjab region has been densely populated and rich since ancient times; When they get here, they feel like they've arrived in heaven.
More importantly, here the monk felt that he was the master of his own destiny, and suddenly became enlightened, no longer feeling like an ant at the feet of the Great Qin Emperor as he did when he was in Southern Xinjiang.
In particular, compared with the strong Dzungar army, although the Mughal army is said to be strong, the combat effectiveness of the army is not as good as that of the Dzungar iron cavalry, which moves like the wind, and the monks can quickly sweep away the two provinces, which is a good proof.
Therefore, the Sangha had the intention of taking down Delhi, destroying the Mughal dynasty and replacing it.
He found Sang'er Letaiji and said: "Sang'er Letaiji, you can help me write a letter back to my father Khan, just say that great things can be done on the Indian side, let him simply give up southern Xinjiang, concentrate all his strength, and go south to sweep away the Mughal Dynasty." The population here is dense, the products are rich, and it is a hundred times better than the southern Xinjiang, since Daqin supports us to enter India, let's not prevent Daqin from selling a favor and give the southern Xinjiang to Daqin. ”
Sangle Taiji also felt that it was time to attack and seize India, because Aurangzeb had just usurped the throne, the situation was unstable, his two brothers had proclaimed themselves emperor together, and infighting had begun, and this time was indeed the best time for Dzungar to annex the Mughal dynasty in one fell swoop, otherwise it would be difficult to do it once Aurangzeb consolidated his rule.
So, Sangle Taiji agreed to the construction of the monk's personality and immediately wrote an urgent letter to bring it back to Yarkand City. (To be continued......)
