Chapter 1425 The heroic queen
As the capital of the Mughal Empire in India, Delhi has always been one of the largest cities in India. Of course, after India became a British colony, Kolkata developed rapidly, replacing Delhi as the political, economic and cultural center of India. ¥f After India became the protector of the Chinese Empire, Kolkata became the direct territorial territory of the Indian Emperor Long Yufei, making Kolkata develop faster and now has become the largest city in India. However, in the central and western regions of India, Delhi's status is still very important.
After the rebels captured Delhi, they immediately announced the restoration of the Mughal Empire, and a royal side of the royal family was pushed to the throne. But now, the rebels suffered a crushing defeat, and the Chinese army and the Indian territory approached Delhi, and the situation in Delhi was in danger. Under such circumstances, Bachde Khan led a part of the rebels to abandon Delhi and moved into central and southern India to seek development, which made the atmosphere in Delhi even more tense.
Now, the only leader of the rebel army in Delhi is the only one of the highest leaders of the rebel army. She was originally the wife of the prince of Zhanxi. However, after the death of the prince of Zhanxi, because she had no children, the queen of Zhanxi became the regent of Zhanxi as a guardian, and was then the queen of Zhanxi. However, with the support of the Chinese Empire, Zhanxi was destroyed by other national states, and the queen of Zhanxi also became a declining nobleman who lost her territory. She not only held a grudge against other Indian territories, but also hated the Chinese Empire. This time she organized the uprising to regain her own territory. Originally, the uprising was very smooth and gave him hope. But now, the situation suddenly became very unfavorable for the Indian rebel army.
"From now on, Delhi enters an emergency combat readiness state, and all the troops maintain defense. We need to rely on Delhi's solid city walls to defend. Don't worry, our current troops are still more than one million. We have sufficient food and weapons and equipment. It is impossible for the Chinese to capture Delhi. As long as they are allowed to lose troops and generals under Delhi, the Chinese will choose to give up. At that time, they will recognize our status. At worst, we can pay some more and we can protect all the benefits we are now!" Queen Zhanxi said to everyone.
Originally, Queen Zhanxi, like other leaders of the rebel army, also hoped to completely drive the Chinese people away from India. However, the news of failures that came one after another made her feel the huge pressure and the gap between the rebel army and the Chinese army. It would be almost impossible for these rebel armies to fight against the Chinese army alone. Therefore, it would be impossible for the Chinese army to realize that they were difficult to deal with, and finally had to admit the existence of the rebel army, which became the purpose of Queen Zhanxi. However, to do all this, you must first resist the attack of the Chinese army. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk. If the Chinese army captured Delhi, then nothing would be possible.
While the rebels were preparing for war, the Chinese army and the Indian territory army marched towards Delhi from both east and west. On July 9, the Imperial army and the Indian territory army surrounded Delhi. With the victory of the Imperial Army, more and more Indian territory rulers restored their power and territory, and they organized a large number of Turkish troops to assist the Imperial Army in quelling the rebellion. Therefore, when surrounding Delhi, the total strength of the Imperial Army was only more than 300,000. However, India, which participated in the war, had a total force of the Imperial Army.
The troops of the Turkish army have soared to more than one million. The troops that suppressed the rebels are no less powerful than the rebels in Delhi City. The weapons, equipment and combat power of the two sides are even more different, and the rebels do not have the advantage at all. The only thing they can rely on is probably the tall city wall of Delhi. However, on the strong defense, there will be a day when it is broken. It is undoubtedly a delusion to rely on the strong defense to confront the Imperial Army.
On July 11, the Imperial Army concentrated thousands of cannons to bombard Delhi. At this moment, there were no more residents in the city, almost all of them were officers and soldiers of the rebel army. Therefore, when the Imperial Artillery was bombarded, it did not have to care whether it would hurt civilians. In fact, even if there were civilians in Delhi, the Imperial Army and the Indian territory army would not care about it. In India, life is very cheap and no one would care about it.
Thousands of cannons opened violently, and the scene was very spectacular. The entire city wall of Delhi and some areas in the city were shrouded in artillery fire. The shells exploded on the city wall, and a piece of flying sand and stones appeared one after another on the city wall. The houses in the city even ignited a raging fire. Although the city walls of Delhi seemed very strong, Delhi was an old city after all. Under the fierce shelling of the imperial artillery, the defense of Delhi was almost destroyed. The rebels in the city also suffered heavy losses under the shelling.
Queen Zhanxi was furious and ordered the artillery in the city to counterattack. Although there were a lot of artillery in the hands of the rebels, hundreds of them. However, not many people could find that they could manipulate artillery, and less than a hundred artillery counterattacked. As soon as these artillery counterattacked, they were immediately discovered by observation balloons in the air, and then commanded the imperial artillery to suppress it. In just over a dozen minutes, the artillery of the Indian rebels suffered a devastating blow, the artillery was destroyed, and the artillery was bombed and killed and injured.
This result made Queen Zhanxi very helpless. She deeply realized the gap between the rebel army and the Chinese army. Now she regretted it a little. Perhaps it was correct to follow the advice of Bachde Khan, give up Delhi and move into the central and southern India. But now, Delhi has been surrounded by the Chinese army and the Indian territory. Even if she wanted to evacuate, it would be impossible.
Although the Chinese army carried out fierce shelling, it did not launch an attack immediately. This shelling only made the Indian uprising army realize the strength of the Imperial Army. It was also a huge blow to the morale of the Indian uprising army. Of course, if an attack was to be launched now, it would probably cause some unnecessary casualties to the Imperial Army. In addition, Handrao of the Varodar Territory State suggested to General Chen Yuan, commander of the Imperial Army's 11th Army, that he could contact a senior officer of the rebel army in Delhi, and could instigate the officer, let him open the city gate, and let the Imperial Army and the Indian Land Army enter the city. In this way, the casualties of the Imperial Army and the Indian Land Army will undoubtedly be reduced a lot.
General Chen Yuan adopted Handrao's suggestion. That night, Handrao immediately sent someone to sneak into Delhi secretly and make relevant preparations. During the day, the fierce shelling of thousands of artillery by the Imperial Army shocked the Indian rebels. Many rebels realized that under the fierce shelling of the Imperial Army, Delhi City probably could not be defended. Therefore, some people with more thoughts have begun to secretly find a way out. The people sent by Handrao hit it off with the other side.
The two sides agreed to open the city gate in Delhi on the evening of July 12 and let the imperial cavalry enter the city.
During the day on July 12, the Imperial Army once again used thousands of artillery pieces to launch violent shelling at Delhi. Tens of thousands of shells shot into Delhi, blowing half of Delhi into ruins, further hitting the morale of the rebels. At the same time, more and more generals of the rebels realized that it would be impossible to defend Delhi.
At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, the city gate of Delhi was opened. The imperial cavalry that had been prepared had taken the opportunity to attack the city of Delhi. Subsequently, a large number of Indian territory troops also entered the city and began to attack the rebels in the city.
"Da da! Da da!" The sound of horse hooves gathered together, as if thundering. On the quiet night, it was very far away. The entire city of Delhi was awakened.
"Her Majesty, something is wrong. The Chinese cavalry has entered the city and are slashing the rebels!" An uprising officer told Queen Zhanxi with a panic look on his face.
"What? Why is this happening?" Queen Zhanxi was stunned. Unexpectedly, the Chinese cavalry would suddenly enter the city.
"Someone opened the city gate and let the Chinese enter the city. Her Majesty the Queen, we have no other way, hurry up and break through the chaos!"
"Breakthrough? How is it possible? The Chinese and Indian Turkish troops have surrounded the entire Delhi, and we can no longer escape. Order all troops to fight the Chinese to the end!" Queen Zhanxi gave up the unrealistic idea of breaking through and issued an order to fight to the end.
"Puchi!"
The sabre was slashed down fiercely, and an Indian uprising soldier was directly split into two halves. The imperial cavalry galloped on the streets in Delhi, as if they were entering a no-man's land, and the Indian uprising soldiers they killed were defeated step by step.
More than 100,000 cavalry entered the city and rushed torture the rebels easily. The Indian Territory Army that entered the city also began to get a bargain and launched an attack on those rebels who had no power to resist. Faced with the attacks of the Imperial Army and the Indian Territory Army, a large number of rebels threw away their weapons and surrendered. Many of them, even if they surrendered, were killed. The red-eyed Indian Territory Army would not care about so many.
Queen Zhanxi led her guards to fight with the Imperial Cavalry near the palace. Although her guards were not large, they were all elite, which cost the Imperial Cavalry a considerable price.
However, reinforcements from the Imperial Cavalry arrived continuously, and then used weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns. The situation suddenly reversed. During the fierce battle, Queen Zhanxi was hit by several bullets, fell off her horse, and died by the horse, becoming the first leader of the Indian rebel army to be killed.
After a night of fierce battle, Delhi was captured, and the main force of the Indian uprising army was eliminated in this battle. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
