The Mughal army, led by Shik, fought a decisive battle with the Ming army. Their combat effectiveness was really poor. Not only Shik was killed, but there were also more than 100,000 casualties.

More than 50,000 people who ran the fastest eventually surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. In this battle, the Mughal Empire lost only its underpants...

But this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that there was a rebellion within them. At the critical moment of the decisive battle with the Ming army, Shah Jahan's third son Aurangzeb took the opportunity to usurp the throne and came to power, putting Shah Jahan under house arrest.

In Shah Jahan's mind, Shik was his successor. Aurangzeb was very dissatisfied. He believed that he was the most capable and Shah Jahan should pass the throne to him.

Shik held a large number of troops, but Aurangzeb had never dared to take action. When Shik led his troops on an expedition, Aurangzeb saw an opportunity.

If he doesn't take action now, after Shik defeats the Ming army, Aurangzeb will have no chance of ascending to power, whether it's prestige or Shah Jahan's trust.

Shah Jahan also knew that his sons were at odds with each other for the throne, and he was always worried that he would have problems a hundred years later.

But he never expected that Aurangzeb would choose to usurp the throne during the decisive battle between the Mughals and the Ming army.

Although Aurangzeb had great abilities, he was cruel by nature. Most of his ministers were opposed to sitting on the throne, which was the main reason why he was unable to ascend the throne.

Shik's cronies all followed their master on the battlefield, and the army in the city were basically Aurangzeb's cronies. Today he suddenly launched a coup, catching everyone off guard.

Under the bloody suppression of Aurangzeb's iron bowl, the ministers could no longer stand out and finally succeeded in seizing the throne.

To be honest, it was unwise for Aurangzeb to usurp the throne at this time. His biggest rival had been killed by the Ming army on the battlefield. The Mughal Empire was finished. What was the point of usurping the throne?

This was mainly related to Aurangzeb's overconfidence and ignorance. He simply did not believe that the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops could conquer the Mughal Empire.

He knew that there were still three colonial countries with military forces along the coast. Could they allow the Ming army to land easily?

When he heard that the Ming army was advancing near Delhi, he thought it was fake news created by Shike in order to control the army. Shike must have an ulterior motive when he led his army out of the city.

All along, he didn't believe anything Shik said, so he didn't believe that the Ming army had reached the vicinity of Delhi.

This guy had just been on the throne for a long time, and 50,000 troops came to the gates of Delhi. Xinge rode in front of the team, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

If the city gates cannot be opened, they will not be able to enter the city. If they are expected to attack the city empty-handed, there is no chance of success.

Xinge looked up at the soldiers on the city, clasped his fists and shouted:

"General on the city, report to the Khan quickly. In order to win the victory of the Mughal Empire, Taiji took the lead and bravely killed the enemy. The Ming army also suffered heavy casualties. However, our army was defeated in the end. The 300,000-strong army suffered heavy casualties. Only the remaining

There are tens of thousands of us..."

The defenders on the city were immediately stunned. They had just taken refuge with Aurangzeb, and the news that Shik had been killed in battle was definitely good news.

But this matter is too troublesome for the Mughal Empire, and the Ming army may soon arrive at the city.

The city guard general reacted and hurriedly ran to report to the Khan:

"Report to the Great Khan that Taigishik was killed in the battle, and the Ming army is advancing into Delhi..."

"It's good to die in battle! If he dies, no one will threaten the Khan's throne..."

Aurangzeb successfully usurped the throne and ordered the emperor and queen to be sent to a secret place to enjoy their old age, but all of Shah Jahan's beautiful concubines were inherited by him.

When the general who defended the city came to report, Aurangzeb was holding Shah Jahan's beloved concubine and making out with her!

Suddenly hearing the news that Shike had died in battle, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Finally, he no longer had to worry about Shike coming to snatch his throne.

Aurangzeb was happy and at the same time, he squeezed his little mother a few more times with his big hands...

"Great Khan, our army suffered a disastrous defeat. There were more than 100,000 casualties in this battle. Only tens of thousands of them escaped and are waiting outside the city. Do you want to let them enter the city?"

"What?"

Aurangzeb was shocked and pushed away the beloved concubine of his father Shah Jahan...

At this time, he felt that the throne he had just seized was a bit of a pain in the ass. He only wanted to seize the throne first, but neglected to find out whether the Ming army's arrival in Delhi was false or true.

Now it seems that Shike's news that the Ming army had reached Delhi was not a lie to his father.

Now he regrets usurping the throne. If the Ming army is really so fierce, what is the point of snatching the throne?

"Let them enter the city and let them go up to the city to help defend the city. Those who disobey will be beheaded on the spot..."

"yes!"

Mo accepted the order and immediately turned around and left.

As soon as Mo Xia left, Aurangzeb hurriedly summoned important Mughal ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Although he felt panicked, he was not desperate. The worst he could do was surrender to help the Ming Dynasty and then help manage the country. When the Ming army withdrew, this place would still be his.

He was used to kneeling and could never stand straight. When he heard that the Ming army was approaching the city, Aurangzeb had already thought of becoming the puppet emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Mughal court, before Aurangzeb opened his mouth, the ministers already knew the news of the defeat.

Prime Minister Temuti stepped forward and bowed:

"Great Khan, I have learned that our army suffered a disastrous defeat. I wonder how the Great Khan plans to deal with the Ming army?"

Aurangzeb sighed:

"It's really unlucky. As soon as I took over the throne, the Ming army came to kill me. What do you think we should do? Surrender? Or fight to the death?"

After Shah Jahan came to power, the Mughal Empire quickly entered the most powerful period in history. Later, years of war and constant construction put the Mughal Empire into crisis, but it was far from the point of collapse.

Several veteran generals and ministers, who had followed Shah Jahan in many battles in the north and south, were deeply disappointed when they saw Aurangzeb's bearish appearance.

This coward, Taiji, was considered talented before he took over. How come he turned into a bad guy after he took over?

This sentence almost made the Prime Minister faint. Temuti didn't say anything for a long time. Several veterans said hurriedly:

"Great Khan, we must not surrender. The Mughal Empire is also a powerful empire. The Ming army is just lucky. The empire has a population of tens of millions. How can we easily admit defeat? I am willing to lead my troops to fight to the death with the Ming army and never surrender.

"

"Yes, we must not surrender. There is a firearms camp, 20,000 Mughal royal heavy cavalry, and hundreds of thousands of slaves in the city. Even if the Ming army cannot be wiped out, it is definitely capable of holding Delhi..."

Several Mughal ministers came forward to salute, but they firmly opposed surrender...

The commander of the Mughal royal heavy cavalry also came forward to ask for a fight:

"Great Khan, you have just become the Mughal Khan, do you admit defeat easily? Let me lead the heavy cavalry out of the city to kill the Ming army. They have come from afar. Our army is waiting for work, and we will definitely defeat the Ming army..."

These people are similar to the later generations of Ah San. They always think that they are very powerful and look down on the Ming army at all. Even though the Ming army is about to attack the city, they still feel good about themselves.

Of course, most of the Mughal ministers advocated surrender in their hearts, but when they saw the prime minister and the cavalry leading the battle, they did not dare to speak at all.

Aurangzeb was originally panicked, but now that he was fooled by a few people, he suddenly felt confident to fight the Ming army.

Who doesn't want to be emperor for a few more years, not to mention that he has just succeeded in usurping the throne.

"Very good. You are all loyal ministers of the empire. With your support, the empire will be able to defeat the Ming army. This Khan appointed Temuti as the army commander, with full authority to command the battle against the Ming army. He immediately summoned slaves to the city to defend it. There were also soldiers on the city.

With twenty artillery pieces, we will definitely be able to defend Delhi. If we can defeat the Ming army, I will give you many rewards, so go and prepare!"

After Aurangzeb finished speaking, he waved his hand to several ministers to leave and prepare. He stood up and walked towards the harem.

There are many beauties in Shah Jahan's harem. He has just succeeded in seizing the throne and has not yet had time to enjoy them. Before the Ming army comes to kill them, he must seize the time to take care of them. Once the battle with the Ming army fails, those beauties will never be touched in this life.

arrive!

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

Those ministers who originally advocated surrender had not yet expressed their opinions. The Khan had already left in a hurry. They could only sigh secretly...

As soon as Aurangzeb left, something happened at the city gate. As soon as the soldiers returning from the battlefield entered the city, they attacked the soldiers in the city and shouted slogans of freedom and equality.

"Charge, kill! Fight for equality and freedom..."

This was all deceived by Zhu Chenggong. In fact, even if they defected to the Ming Dynasty, they were still paid slaves of the Ming Dynasty and could never be equal to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The city defenders could not have imagined that all these soldiers had rebelled. As soon as they opened the city gate, they were killed by surprise and soon became accustomed to rout...

These soldiers were all Sun Tzu in front of the Ming army's firearms, but against the defenders who fought with the same cold weapons, they were happy to fight, and they were all extremely brave.

Soon, the defenders near the city gate were killed and fled in all directions. Fortunately, the Ming army had not come up yet, otherwise, they could have followed the Ming confederate army into the Mughal capital.

"Da da da..."

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the ground was shaking. The Ming Xie army hurriedly looked up and saw countless cavalry rushing towards them.

When he saw the cavalry team clearly, the leader of the Ming Alliance Army, Xinge suddenly felt something bad. This was the most powerful heavy cavalry of the Mughals at present.

"No, the Royal Heavy Cavalry is here!"

Thinking of the powerful firearms of the Ming army, a general snorted coldly:

"I'm afraid of him. When Father Ming launches a burst of artillery fire, all of their heavy cavalry will be killed!"

"Yes, brothers, you must hold on. Father Ming's firearms are very powerful and he will come to support us soon. You must stick to the city gate and wait for Father Ming's arrival..."

Under the command of Xinge, the Ming Xie army began to form a formation within the city gate. They were prepared to defend the city gate and wait for the arrival of the Ming army, even if they did not hesitate to fight the heavy cavalry.

However, using cold weapons, they were no match for the Mughal royal heavy cavalry. The formation was quickly broken into pieces, and they could only be chased and hacked to death by the cavalry...

"Brothers, get out quickly!"

If they continued fighting like this, they would be killed by the royal cavalry. Xinge hurriedly ordered the Ming Xie army to retreat.

20,000 heavy cavalry versus 50,000 infantry. If you don't run faster, they will really be killed.

The purpose of working for the Ming army is to survive. If they all die here, there is no point in surrendering.

Under the command of Xinge, the Ming Xiejun turned around and ran out of the city. As soon as they ran out of the city, they saw a large Ming army appearing not far away.
