Chapter 1410 Retreat overnight
On the night of the eighth day of November, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the magpies fly south, and the Allied positions are extremely quiet.
At this time, in the large tent of Kaduoqi, a group of nobles gathered and were conducting their last conspiracy.
"Aurangzeb has given us an order. In the middle of the night, when the coalition forces are asleep, they will retreat quietly." Kaduoqi said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, everyone will know what to do!"
"Clearly, burn the camp to create chaos, and then seize the floating bridge!" Mohabi said.
Everyone in the tent showed a cruel look on their faces, and Kaduoqi said in a deep voice: "Aurangzebu died, and the Allies were defeated, which is better than us, we were defeated!"
"The governor is right. We don't need to save lives for the Turks." Everyone agreed.
~~~~~~~
At this time, just as Kaduoqi and others were plotting, Aurangzebu had already put on the armor of ordinary soldiers, turned over his horse, and led the guards to quietly leave the camp and headed straight for the floating bridge.
It was still early before the agreed time, but Aurangzebu had already led his troops to escape to the floating bridge.
"Khan, wasn't it the agreed midnight?" A general asked before departure.
Aurangzeb remained silent and explained after getting on the horse: "Hundreds of thousands of people are on the east bank. Even if there is no enemy restraint, it will take several days to cross the river! How can it be that easy to retreat?"
When the people around him heard the words, they immediately reacted, accelerated their pace, and then followed him silently.
The Allied forces and the coalition forces confronted each other, and the closest places between the two sides were only a few hundred steps apart.
With such a close distance, hundreds of thousands of troops could not break through under the eyes of the coalition forces, and only a small part of them could escape.
Aurangzebu urged his war horses and led 30,000 guards to snatch out of the camp and headed straight to the Wei River.
However, he had just run out of the camp with his troops, and a team of men came to chase him behind him!
Although there is moonlight in the sky, it is difficult to see which person it is far away.
At this time, the coalition forces had not yet moved, so they could only be the army of the Allied Powers.
Aurangzeb immediately realized that someone was rushing forward like him.
This made Aurangzebu frown and became anxious. There were only a few floating bridges, and suddenly there was one more team, which would definitely cause chaos.
If the coalition forces noticed this, it would be over.
The coalition's hot air balloons observed the situation of the Allies during the day, so Aurangzeb dared not build a pontoon bridge before retreating, so as not to notice the coalition forces and launch a general attack.
If the coalition forces discovered that the Allies had built a new pontoon bridge, they would definitely know that they were going to retreat and it would not be possible to let them retreat calmly.
Therefore, Aurangzeb could only quietly leave the camp at night, taking advantage of the opportunity that the coalition forces could not observe, but he did not expect that before the agreed time had arrived, other people came to the pontoon bridge.
So many people flocked to the floating bridge. When the Allied troops of the battalions saw someone running, they would inevitably be in chaos in an instant and rushed to the floating bridge. When the coalition forces found out the movement, they would definitely launch a large-scale attack.
Aurangzeb could no longer imagine what happened next.
At this time, Aurangzebu did not dare to stay at all. He hurriedly waved the whip. The soldiers behind him were also very proud and did not dare to take a breath, and followed him to run wildly towards the floating bridge.
~~~~~~~
After discussing with everyone, Ka Duoqi ordered everyone to go back and prepare, and immediately after the time came.
At this time, everyone had just stood up and was about to leave the tent. An officer broke in, "Governor! The Khan ran away, and the British ran away!"
"What?" Ka Duoqi suddenly stood up and said in surprise: "Isn't it time yet?"
Everyone looked at each other and turned their eyes to Ka Duoqi, "What should I do now?"
Kaduoqi's face was gloomy and he said annoyed: "It seems that Aurangzeb escaped early. We can't wait any longer, and we must not let the credit run away."
Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "Everyone acted separately, set fire to the camp, and send a signal to the coalition forces. I will lead my troops to capture the floating bridge immediately!"
With a command, everyone rushed out of the tent and went back to mobilize troops.
Soon, several military camps exploded at the same time. Soldiers holding muskets in one hand and torches in the other set fires everywhere in the camp, and shouted loudly, "The Khan ran away, and the Allies were defeated."
In a moment, several camps of the Allied Army ignited fires at the same time, reflecting the sky red, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
~~~~~~~
In the coalition base camp, Gao Huan received information from Kadoqi during the day, saying that the Allied forces were going to retreat quietly tonight.
He and the staff members stayed in the command post and did not sleep, discussing the battle in the middle of the night.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Yan suddenly came in and said anxiously: "There is a situation in the Allied State Camp!"
When Gao Huan heard the words, he picked up the helmet on the table and led a group of people out. He saw the sky in the west being reddened by flames, and a huge fire ignited in the direction of the enemy camp.
"Your Majesty, the time for the Allied Army to retreat is advanced." Zhang Huangyan made a judgment immediately.
Upon hearing this, Gao Huan took the telescope and shouted loudly, "The artillery array was sent to bombard the enemy, and the infantry was ready to launch a fierce attack!"
The artillery of the coalition forces had already approved the enemy's frontier positions. Gao Huan's military orders and thousands of artillery fired roars at the same time, pouring shells into the enemy's positions.
The soldiers of the Qian army, wearing military uniforms, holding muskets and erecting bayonets, then began to launch a surging attack on the enemy's positions in a dense formation.
The shells exploded on the Allied Army's positions, and the guards were blown up to hide in the trench and shivered, while the Qian army had already rushed up with local tanks.
At this time, the camp fired together. When the Allies heard the coalition forces launched an attack, Aurangzeb and the British and French troops had already fled, and the camp was in chaos.
The Mughal army, which rebels and surrenders, set fire and shouted, which shocked the soldiers of the battalions to be extremely frightened. The troops of the Allied countries ran out of the camp and rushed towards the floating bridge.
At this time, Aurangzebu heard the noise behind him and couldn't help but hold the reins of the horse. When he looked back, he saw the camp's fires soaring into the sky, and the roar of the coalition cannons caused the sky to flash in the east, and the light flashed.
A large number of Allied troops ran out of the camp behind them, and the camp behind them was in a state of fire!
Aurangzeb's heart was beating wildly, and he quickly roared loudly, "Hurry up, speed up!"
At that moment, he only urged the war horse to run wildly, and the soldiers behind him also rushed to the bridge.
"Cross the bridge!" The coalition forces had already launched an attack, and Aurangzeb stopped the war horses at the bridge and urged them to rush to the soldiers.
"Cross the bridge! Cross the bridge! Hurry!" The Mughal officer's shouts resounded throughout the night, and a large number of soldiers crowded up on the bridge. Under the trampling of thousands of people, they stepped on the pontoon bridge and trembled continuously.
Aurangzeb knew that the retreat plan was over, and now he only hopes to withdraw as many troops as possible.
From time to time, he looked back and looked towards the camp, looking at the sky above the camp, the firelight reflected the red sky, and heard the roar of coalition artillery, knowing that the defense line would not last long.
"Your Majesty, go!" The officers around him surrounded Aurangzeb. "As soon as the riots arrived, they could not cross the river."
