Chapter 579 Long live my emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty!
Author: Linjiangjun
On June 1, 1690, the leading troops of the Ming and Qing Dynasties arrived in Delhi almost at the same time.
Kangxi sent Prince Kang to have a brief meeting with Wang Xianwu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty.
The two sides agreed that one would attack from the west and the other from the east. The one who entered the city first would have the right to distribute the spoils.
And the two sides signed a one-year non-aggression pact.
Originally, Prince Kang argued for a longer signing, but Wang Xianwu did not back down.
Just as the ministers were quarreling, another person came to report with sweat profusely.
"The armies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are getting closer to us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall suddenly became silent. Everyone immediately stopped discussing, with a look of horror on their faces.
Fortunately, their cavalry has arrived, and it will not be that easy to retreat.
"All Mughals, regardless of age or sex, take up arms. We are here to break the myth that the Ming Dynasty is invincible!"
"The Mughal Empire has no retreat. All we can do is fight them to the end!"
The new emperor Bahadur suddenly stood up.
He didn't want to leave here, he didn't want to leave this luxurious palace, he didn't want to lose the huge wealth of the Mughals, and he didn't want to lose the countless beauties in his harem.
Give it a try. If you win, you will continue to be the emperor. If you lose, you will die.
To be honest, he would rather not be the emperor than succeed to the throne amid internal and external troubles.
He is now even more uncomfortable than Chongzhen.
When Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, at least the country was intact, and he only had Delhi left.
It feels a bit like Constantine XI, except for the castle.
As the new emperor's order was issued, the entire city of Delhi reluctantly began to get busy.
In order to fight this defensive battle, Bahadur hurried to the tall city wall.
He came to the east wall where the pressure was greatest, which was the direction of the Ming army's attack.
He picked up the telescope in his hand and saw a powerful cavalry force coming to the gates of Delhi like a torrent of steel in the open field.
They were not in a hurry to attack the city, but instead surrounded the east city wall.
Although there were only 5,000 National Defense Force cavalry, the momentum they displayed was like that of a million-strong army.
Overall, he was very confident and did not take the Mughal army in the city seriously at all.
"This is just their vanguard. There are only a few thousand in number. Let's fight and kill all these cavalry!"
Inheriting Aurangzeb's military acumen, Bahadur knew that if he didn't fight at this time, he would have to wait for death.
Delhi still has its last 20,000 heavy cavalry, and the opponent only has 5,000.
What's more, they are Turks and Mongolians, and Afghanistan is a nomadic people. How can they be afraid of these Ming people in a cavalry battle?
Bahadur has read the battle reports from the previous battlefields on the Eastern Front. The Ming Dynasty's strength lies in its weapons. All kinds of strange weapons are very powerful.
There was no mention of the Ming Dynasty's cavalry in the battle report, so there must have been no highlights.
Besides, cavalry is just that.
After confirming that only five thousand Ming cavalry surrounded the east city of Delhi, Bahadur Shah I gritted his teeth and decisively ordered an attack out of the city.
After a while, the city gate slowly opened, and the cavalry of the Delhi Sultanate surged out like a flood and launched an attack on the 5,000 Ning Kingdom cavalry who had just arrived.
"whole team!"
When Wang Xianwu saw the Mughal cavalry rushing out, he immediately laughed.
Sure enough, they came out. In order to prevent these people from escaping, Wang Xianwu's 5,000 National Defense Army cavalry first surrounded Delhi.
Because the Ming Dynasty has a small number of people, it is very likely that the opponent will send cavalry to start a duel between cavalry.
Wang Xianwu was not afraid of this, and the Ming cavalry were not vegetarians either.
This is an army with various concepts and wonder buffs. Whether it is riding skills, war horses, physical fitness, or tactics, they are far ahead of the Mughals.
Wang Xianwu knew clearly that as long as all the cavalry in Delhi were killed, these Mughal nobles would not be able to leave even if there was no cavalry cover.
Following Wang Xianwu's order, the five thousand cavalry under his command quickly gathered together, and soon formed neat formations, like squares. It was obvious that these were the most well-trained cavalry in the National Defense Forces.
"Raise the knife!"
Wang Xianwu slowly raised the fine steel saber in his hand.
Behind him, five thousand cavalrymen moved in unison like one person, and their sabers instantly lit up, stabbing the Mughals in the sunlight and unable to open their eyes.
"All charges!"
Five thousand heavy cavalrymen of the National Defense Force began to charge amidst the heavy sound of trumpets.
Each of them was wearing steel armor, carrying a long sword, and their momentum was like a rainbow.
Wang Xianwu raised his sword high and shouted loudly: "Long live our emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
The officers in front immediately shouted: "Long live our emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
The sound gradually became contagious, and others began to chant along with it.
Soon, the whole army began to chant.
When everyone started shouting, the blood in their bodies was already boiling.
All the fear and anxiety in my mind disappeared.
At this moment, the five thousand heavy cavalry of the National Defense Force seemed to have transformed into one whole body.
The voice seemed to be roared by a giant, echoing across the vast wilderness, as if it was about to shake away the white clouds in the sky and shatter the earth beneath our feet!
Steel begins to burn!
Soon, the torrent of burning steel began to roll forward.
It wasn't very fast at first, but I kept the pace.
Then, the speed accelerated in this rhythm.
faster and faster!
Anyone within a ten-mile radius could feel the earth shaking.
They will face the Mughal heavy cavalry head-on.
The Mughal cavalry on the other side had just filed out of the city gate, and they had not yet had time to organize their formation.
In the eyes of the Mughal cavalry, the Ming cavalry dared to rush over when there were only 5,000 cavalrymen. They were really looking for death!
He had 20,000 men, but since the other party was not afraid at all, he took the initiative to attack him. This made the Mughal heavy cavalry angry: "Kill all these infidels!"
Both sides have their own elite cavalry.
Although the Mughals only had Delhi left, each of them was a battlefield soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles, and they were not downcast.
They also have honor in their hearts. As the bodyguards of the Mughal emperor, they have their pride.
"kill!"
The Mughal Royal Heavy Cavalry Corps burst out with amazing fighting spirit.
The two sides collided head-on like two huge steel waves outside the east city of Delhi.
What splashed up was not water waves, but minced meat.
Human flesh and blood was torn and twisted in the forest of swords, swords and steel barriers, and every life was killed and withered.
Everyone can be decent, but the body of the deceased cannot be intact.
It was even crushed into balls of minced meat and mixed with other minced meat.
The entire battlefield turned into a huge meat grinder!
Of course, the Ming army's steel armor was of much higher quality than the Mughal cavalry's, and the formations were concentrated and not chaotic. These were advantages.
After the head-on collision, the Ming army clearly had a greater advantage.
It was a crushing situation right from the start.
What will be the result?
