But he knew that neither he nor his family could afford to offend the future Mughal successors, so he could only swallow his anger.

In desperation, he could only lead 20,000 Indian troops to pursue the place where the Ming army disappeared.

As a Mughal general, Shamohe was certainly familiar with the terrain of India, and he knew that there was a dense forest not far away.

But it won't work if he doesn't chase him. Shike won't let him go easily. This is called going to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain...

Shamer River shouted:

"Warriors, light the torches. There may be an ambush of the Ming army ahead. You must be careful and retreat immediately when you hear the sound of firecrackers..."

The deputy general under his command was puzzled and asked hurriedly:

"General, you know there is an ambush, why do you still pursue it?"

Shamohe shook his head:

"This is an order from the future Mughal king. Do you dare to disobey it? Stop talking and execute the order!"

Shamohe’s words made the Indian soldiers very unhappy:

"Damn it, this is a war, you might lose your life, isn't Shike unhappy, are we all going to die?"

But there is nothing the soldiers can do if they are unhappy. They are the biggest victims of the Indian caste system. They can do nothing but curse in their hearts.

Ancient India was one of the birthplaces of human civilization. It was one of the four ancient countries in the East along with China, Egypt, and Babylon.

However, for thousands of years, the development of Indian society has been relatively slow. This has a certain relationship with the existence of a strict hierarchical system in India - the caste system.

After centuries of military expansion, the Aryans conquered almost all of India.

The Aryans absorbed the advanced culture of the Dravidians, changed from nomadic herding to settled agricultural life, and gradually transitioned to a slave society.

Due to the conquest and enslavement of the Dravidians by the Aryans, as well as the differentiation between rich and poor within the Aryans, a strict hierarchical system was gradually formed in Aryan society, which is the caste system.

Under the caste system, ancient Indians were divided into four castes, Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Sudras.

Brahman is a priestly aristocracy. It mainly controls the divine power to predict fortune and fortune, monopolizes culture and reports on agricultural seasons. It has the highest status in society.

Kshatriyas are the military aristocracy of the Aryans, including officials at all levels below the king, who hold all the power of the country except the divine power.

Vaishyas were ordinary workers in ancient Indian society, that is, the middle and lower class of the Aryans, including farmers, craftsmen and businessmen, who had to pay taxes to the state.

Shudras refer to those free people who lost their land and the conquered Dravidians, who were actually in the status of slaves.

The occupations of each caste are hereditary and do not intermarry with each other to maintain strict boundaries.

Children born to men and women of different castes are regarded as untouchables, or untouchables. Untouchables are not included in the four castes and are the most despised.

There are complicated regulations on food, clothing, housing and transportation for each caste. For example, it is stipulated that people of different castes can no longer stay in the same room, eat at the same table, or drink water from the same well.

People of different castes are strictly prohibited from intermarriage in order to perpetuate caste divisions, otherwise they will be expelled from the caste.

People who are expelled from their castes also become untouchables. Untouchables can only live outside the village, are not allowed to have contact with Brahmins, and can only engage in occupations considered to be the lowest, such as carrying dead bodies and removing feces.

When walking on the road, untouchables must wear special marks and constantly make special sounds or tap certain objects to remind people of higher castes to avoid them in time.

If a Brahmin comes into contact with an untouchable, it is considered bad luck and a purification ceremony must be held after returning.

…

Did the Ming army have an ambush?

Of course there is, otherwise those Ming troops harassing the Indian troops would definitely be in danger. They faced more than 200,000 Indian troops.

No matter what the weapons and equipment of the Indian army are, the more than 200,000 Indian troops are very dangerous to the Ming army squad.

Those in ambush in the woods were all sharpshooters, and the Indian troops held torches in the open. Once within shooting range, the Ming troops could shoot Ah San without any scruples in the dark.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to prevent being attacked by sneak attacks, Shamohe hid among the Indian troops and ordered the guards around him not to light torches to avoid becoming the target of Ming army gunners.

Torches can only illuminate a small area, unlike flashlights which can illuminate a long distance, making the Indian army unable to see clearly their surroundings. They became targets of Ming army gunmen as soon as they approached the woods.

"Bang bang bang..."

…

Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire, and the Indian army in front led hundreds of people. However, the Indian army could not see where the Ming army was, so they could only be beaten passively. The huge Indian army instantly became confused...

"Don't be chaotic, the front team changes to the back team, retreat immediately!"

Seeing the chaos in the team, Shamohe hurriedly ordered the team to retreat.

In this situation, it is impossible to fight. You can't even see the opponent's shadow, and you have to give instructions for retreating if you are attacked.

Ah San is not good at fighting, but his escape skills are pretty good. The front team changes to the back team, and he quickly retreats...

The Ming army hadn't had enough of fighting yet. They all ran away. Seeing Asan and his men escaping, the three thousand soldiers who set up an ambush here felt very disappointed...

Hearing the sound of gunfire outside, Shike knew that Shamohe and the others had been ambushed. After seeing the army return in embarrassment, he for the first time did not blame Shamohe, but went back to sleep.

Looking at Shik's leaving back, Shamohe suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. He really didn't understand why Shah Jahan, the great Mughal Empire, regarded this boy as a treasure.

He was actually asked to take command of such a crucial battle. Wasn't he afraid that the Mughals would not perish quickly enough?

Perhaps Shah Jahan did not believe in the strength of the Ming army at all. He believed that it was impossible for the Ming army to attack Sindel.
