Chapter 746: Delhi Lost

In the South Asian subcontinent, the Mughal Empire of India, the city of Delhi, surrounded the capital by turbaned servants, and the defenders looked at the dense enemy army, their faces pale.

The high-caste feudal lords of the Mughal Empire in India, but besieged by low-caste soldiers.

However, it was not this group of low-caste soldiers who took the initiative to rebel against the feudal lords, they were driven by Timur from the Chagatai Khanate and attacked Delhi!

Timur followed the customs of the locals, wearing a turban, sitting on the wooden tower of a huge iron-clad war elephant, looking up at the walls of the city of Delhi with fierce eyes.

The level of Delhi City, like Chang'an City, surpassed that of the giant city.

If you want to capture Delhi, you can only rely on crowd tactics!

"Capture Delhi and make the nobles of Delhi submit to me!"

Timur pulled out his golden sword, and hundreds of thousands of servant troops were like locusts, attacking the city of Delhi from all directions!

Hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder carried rudimentary ladders and climbed the huge walls of the city of Derry, and the black wave flooded Delhi!

Trebuchets and ballistas on the city walls threw stones and bolts at the cannon fodder, which rolled down the ladder and screamed.

This group of cannon fodder, wielding swords, most of them not even equipped with armor, attacked the city of Delhi at all costs, driven by the Mongol and Turkic cavalry!

However, Timur turned a blind eye, he led the Mongol cavalry, and urged hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder to attack the city with sabers, and the corpses piled up, and later, these cannon fodder even stepped on the corpses of their companions and climbed the city wall!

"Damn, how did the Mongols get to our Delhi!?"

The feudal nobles of Delhi were blocked in the city, and the low-caste soldiers they usually looked down on climbed the walls of Delhi like an ant colony to kill them!

Timur was an outsider, but he was going to replace the nobles of Delhi as the new ruler!

Timur had the ability to drive an army of servants, and he was at home in the populous South Asian subcontinent!

In the South Asian subcontinent, the last thing that is lacking here is population!

Some of the defenders of Derry City were transferred to the Deccan Plateau to participate in the Great War, and at this time there were only more than 100,000 defenders left!

Outside Delhi, there were 500,000 cannon fodder, as well as 100,000 Mongol and Turkic cavalry brought by Timur!

Among the 600,000 troops, the strongest were the Mongols and Turks who attacked the city of Delhi on the orders of Ogedei!

When the Mughal Empire in India thought that the target of Timur's attack was the Kushan Empire, Timur suddenly turned to Delhi and came to the city!

The tragic siege battle lasted for three days, and the corpses under the city of Delhi were piled up more than ten meters, as high as the city wall, and 500,000 cannon fodder, 200,000 died under the city!

More than 100,000 defenders of Delhi, 70,000 killed!

"The defenders of Delhi are exhausted, and our Mongol army, the Seljuk Turkic army, is preparing to attack the city."

Timur waved his hand, and 100,000 Mongolian cavalry and Turkic cavalry dismounted, formed a phalanx, and attacked the city on foot.

"Before the official siege of the city, send envoys into the city of Delhi and demand that they surrender, otherwise the day the city is broken, it will also be the time to slaughter the city!"

Timur's envoys entered the city, and the feudal nobility of Derry could already see the menacing Mongol and Turkic soldiers on the ruined walls.

"The city of Delhi has a population of several million, could it be that Timur slaughtered the city and wanted to kill millions of people?!"

"Timur has a thirst for killing, he is simply a devil from hell, he may really slaughter the city!"

The nobles of Derry were terrified, and under pressure from the Mongol and Turkic armies, their determination to hold on to the city was shaken.

Surrender Timur, you can still keep the glory and wealth, otherwise, if Delhi is captured by Timur's servant army, then the entire city of Delhi will be wiped off the map by Timur!

"This group of guys, dying to the end, still don't open the door and surrender. Let the cowardly Delhi people see the archery skills of our Mongols and Turks! ”

Timur was furious because he had not received a reply from the feudal lords of Delhi, and 100,000 Mongol and Turkic soldiers began to attack the city of Delhi!

The archery skills of the Mongol and Turkic cavalry far surpassed the cannon fodder recruited by Timur in the Mughal Empire in India, and they followed the mountain of corpses piled up in cannon fodder, climbed the city wall, and easily shot the defenders on the wall!

The Delhi feudal lords could no longer withstand such an offensive and soon surrendered to Timur.

If it's a little bit late, then Derry City will have millions of dead people!

Thousands of Delhi feudal lords knelt on the ground, whether Brahmin or Kshatriya, all of them knelt before foreign conquerors.

In the face of absolute power, Brahmins, Kshatriyas, these high-caste nobles, must also submit.

The Mongol cavalry and Turkic cavalry showed off their might, and Timur led an army of hundreds of war elephants into Delhi.

"I need to use the army of Delhi to join forces with Ogedai to destroy the Kushan Empire, but I can't betray Ogedai yet......"

Timur led 100,000 Mongol and Turkic cavalry on Delhi, knowing that the 100,000 cavalry and their generals remained loyal to Ögedei.

100,000 Mongol and Turkic cavalry were his descendants in Delhi.

The millions of people in Delhi, intimidated by Timur's 100,000 cavalry, did not dare to resist.

If he declares his betrayal of Ögedei, 100,000 Mongol and Turkic cavalry may defect, leave Delhi, and return to Ögedai, when the time comes, Timur will not be able to gain a foothold in Delhi.

Unless 100,000 Mongol and Turkic cavalry received Timur's favor and they became the new interest group in Delhi, they would really work for Timur.

On the Eastern Continent, the Mughal Empire of India, whose population is second only to the Han Empire, and the capital city of Delhi was captured by Timur, and the news quickly spread throughout the world, shaking other empires!

During the national war, there will be a severe punishment for being captured in the capital, and after the national war, there is no special punishment, however, even so, the capital of a huge empire is captured by 100,000 foreign cavalry, which is considered an extreme shame!

The Brahmin, the first lord of the Mughal Empire, who was fighting on the Deccan plateau against the Maratha Alliance and other princely kings, turned pale when he learned that the city of Delhi had been conquered by Timur.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of his rear forces, Timur captured Delhi at a very small cost, but almost all the dead and wounded were Delhi soldiers!

Timur's cannon fodder is also a forcible conscription from Delhi!

"Timur, I'm going to kill him!"

The Brahmins hurriedly ceased war with the Maratha alliance and the princes of the various princely states, returned to Delhi, and expelled Timur.

In addition to the Mughal Empire in India, the Western Regions Protectorate was also deeply shocked.

"What are the maharajas of the Mughal Empire in India doing? They were actually conquered by Timur's 100,000 cavalry?! ”

Hoan also thought that Delhi could hold out longer, but the weakness of the Mughal Empire in India was beyond his imagination.

The Mughal Empire in India was also a fragmented empire, with local princes wielding enormous power.

Although Timur used the power of the servant army to consume the defenders of Delhi, this result still shocked Hoan.

He seems to have imagined the Mughal Empire of India too powerful.

The lords of the Mughal Empire in India focused their forces on attacking the Deccan Plateau, leaving Delhi empty.

"It seems that we have to meddle in the affairs of Central Asia, otherwise it will not be good for us in the future to let Ögedai and Timur digest the amazing population and fertile plains of the Mughal Empire in India."

Wokotai played the card, and by surprise, Huo An had to respond.

Apparently fearful of the Han Empire, Ögedei pointed his saber at the South Asian subcontinent.

There are two main huge civilizations in the South Asian subcontinent, the Mughal Empire of India and the Kushan Empire, which are interspersed with local forces such as the Maratha Alliance, with large populations and fertile land.

"If Ögedai wants to annex the Kushan Empire and the Mughal Empire in India, he wants to enslave tens of millions of Turks and hundreds of millions of Mughals in India with a population of several million Mongols, and establish a great empire with a population larger than the Mongol Empire controlled by Temujin."

Huo An saw Wokotai's ambitions.

This ambition is not impossible.

Because the Mughal Empire of India, historically, was originally a Turkic Mongol, that is, a great empire established by the descendants of Timur, ruling the South Asian subcontinent.

Now Timur entered the Mughal Empire in India and began the great conquest.

"Let Gao Xianzhi cross the Green Ridge and attack the Great Wan Kingdom, we must respond."

Huo An was reluctant to send troops to Central Asia when the Han Empire was about to break out in the Northern War, but he could not sit idly by and watch Wokotai dominate Central Asia and South Asia.

His general, Gao Xianzhi, had almost the most powerful mountain marching ability in the Han Empire, and only the army led by Gao Xianzhi could easily cross the Pamirs.

"I will join you in attacking West Asia and containing Ogedei."

Xu Fengnian has been guarding Luntai for a long time, in order to find trouble with Wokotai, and at this time, he stepped forward.

"The two of us are going to use our own strength to open up the situation in West Asia. The unification war of the Han Empire may take several years. ”

"The Western Regions Protectorate has little influence on the Dawan Kingdom, and the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom hold a grudge against the Han Empire's conquest of them, and we can only regard it as a strange civilization and conquer it by force."

Huo An reminded Xu Fengnian.

The Dawan Kingdom belonged to the Central Asian civilization and was actually beyond the scope of the Han Empire, because one of the border lines between the Han Empire and Central Asia was the Green Mountains.

The Dawan Kingdom is located to the west of the Green Ridge, the Han Empire is located to the east of the Green Ridge, and the highest altitude of more than 7,000 meters above sea level is the nightmare of all military generals.

However, Huo An's subordinate Gao Xianzhi had the ability to lead the troops over the Green Ridge.

The harsher the environment, the more the advantages of the marching characteristics come into play.

Xu Fengnian was worried about the imminent outbreak of the Great War in the Han Empire: "If Chu Zimou's war situation is unfavorable, I may have to return to the Central Plains. After all, the family of my Xiliang soldiers is in Xia City. ”

The Han Empire was about to rain and Wokotai tried to conquer South Asia, and the eastern continent was in chaos.

Chu Tian was in order to unify the Han Empire, while Huo An and Xu Fengnian, who were in the Western Regions Protectorate, in order to monitor Central Asia and South Asia, when they found that Ogedai and Timur might pose a threat to the future of the Han Empire, they had to take action.
