Chapter 1047 Surrender(1/2)
The sound of guns and artillery was very loud on the battlefield. The soldiers beside Shik were afraid that the Mughal soldiers would not hear them, so they all shouted loudly along with Shik...
"Those who retreat will have their entire clan destroyed..."
This annihilation of an entire clan is really scary. With just one word from Shike, the Mughal soldiers were so frightened that they stopped running away.
The soldiers all have relatives. Taiji's words can definitely kill their entire clan. In order to prevent their family from being implicated, they can only turn around and charge towards the Ming army...
While attacking the Ming army, the Mughal archers rained arrows from the sky towards the Ming army. However, the distance between the two sides exceeded the range of the bows and arrows. The arrows they shot fell more than thirty steps in front of the Ming army's trenches.
, posing no threat to the Ming army.
The Ming soldiers were all lying in the trenches, and the Mughal firearms battalion's flintlock fire was also unable to harm the Ming soldiers, and they could only be beaten passively.
Nowadays, Ming army soldiers do not wear armor because their firearms are advanced enough and they can kill their opponents outside the range of the enemy's firecrackers.
In the face of musket fire, thick armor is no longer effective, and will also affect the Ming army's ability to move quickly...
Seeing the Mughal cavalry entering the shooting range, Chen De gave an order and waved his hand. The Ming army once again pulled the trigger of the rifle. The Ming god blunderbuss was also shaken rapidly. Facing the Ming army's guns and cannons, the Mughal soldiers almost
Being beaten into a sieve...
Waves of charges followed, and pieces fell one by one. Some Indian troops finally broke through the Ming army's defense line, but were blown to pieces by grenades that were suddenly thrown...
In less than half a day, more than half of the more than 200,000 Mughal soldiers were killed or injured. At this time, no matter how much Shik threatened, the Mughal soldiers had a psychological collapse and hurriedly turned around and fled...
Shike's face turned pale, and he stood on the back of the elephant and yelled at the top of his lungs:
"Don't retreat, let me rush forward..."
"Supervise the battle team and kill the defeated troops..."
No matter how he shouted, the Mughal soldiers seemed not to hear him and just tried to escape.
Seeing the collapse of the Mughal soldiers, Zhang Shuting raised his gun and fired three shots in the air. Fifty thousand Ming army cavalry poured out of the barracks like a tide and quickly attacked the remaining Mughal soldiers.
The Ming cavalrymen all held rifles in their hands. After entering the shooting range, they immediately shot and killed the defeated Mughal soldiers. After firing a round of bullets, they quickly put away their rifles, quickly pulled out two muskets, and pulled the triggers on the remaining Mughal soldiers:
"Bang bang bang..."
The fleeing Mughal infantry blocked the retreating cavalry. The cavalry slapped their horses desperately and rushed directly into the crowd of infantry. The infantry were flying in all directions.
The Ming cavalry quickly pursued and killed them, using up all their pistol bullets. They then drew their sabers and slashed, leaving the defeated Mughal troops with no ability to resist.
Blood splattered and heads flew. This scene was very bloody. The Mughal Empire's troops fled faster. Although they were not as fast as Liu Zeqing, the difference was not big...
"Quickly, protect Taiji and retreat..."
The bloody scene in front of him almost scared Shik to death. He watched the fleeing Mughal soldiers hurriedly escape through a small road under the protection of their personal guards.
But the war elephant under his seat was too obvious and had long been targeted by Ming army snipers. The sniper team leader Li Yang jumped on a war horse and rushed towards Shik...
Shike was so frightened by the momentum of the Ming army that he forgot to change his horse to escape, and desperately urged the war elephant to escape...
How could a war elephant outrun a war horse? The sniper team leader quickly chased him about two hundred meters behind him and raised his gun to shoot without hesitation:
"Bang……"
A bullet quickly rotated into Shike's shoulder. Shike shook his body a few times and almost fell off the war elephant. Seeing that it did not hit the vital point of the opponent's general, Li Yang hurriedly reloaded the bullet and prepared to shoot again.
But I saw Shike suddenly fell off the war elephant%
Maybe this guy deserved it, because the war elephant's hind hooves just stepped on his head, trampling Shik's head to pieces...
Seeing their master being trampled to death by a war elephant, Shik's guards were frightened. They would definitely be executed by the emperor if they returned home. They turned their horses and rushed towards the sniper captain, preparing to use the famous general's head to atone for their sins.
"Bang……"
Li Yang raised his gun and killed the first Shik guard. He quickly turned around and ran away. At the same time, he turned around and shot again, killing another one...
With a rifle facing hundreds of people, Li Yang would not be stupid enough to fight them desperately, running too slow and risking his life...
When they saw that the Ming army had killed their Taiji, they ran away. These people chased him for more than a mile, and Li Yang killed five more of them. At this time, the Ming army was already chasing him.
Seeing a large group of pursuers, they did not dare to pursue any more. They threw down their master's body and galloped away. They would definitely not be able to return to Delhi, so they could only flee...
On the front battlefield, the remaining Mughal soldiers fled desperately. The Ming cavalry chased them and chopped them like melons. The corpses of Mughal soldiers were everywhere along the way.
The Ming Dynasty navy, which came from the waterway, had easily defeated the Mughal navy. Although Shamohe had strength, he was an army general. He was completely crushed by the Ming army on the water. Dozens of warships were destroyed by the Ming army.
The explosive bombs were sent to the bottom of the water, and Shamohe was also captured alive by the Ming army.
After defeating the Mughal navy, Zhu Chenggong led 3,000 marines to land and happened to see the remnants of the Mughal soldiers who had escaped.
Zhu Chenggong immediately ordered the marines to form a formation to block the retreat of the remaining Mughal soldiers.
There were pursuers, and now the way back was blocked again. The remaining Mughal soldiers, who wanted to escape, saw that there were not many Ming troops blocking the way, so they rushed over immediately.
Although they were defeated troops, there were tens of thousands of them after all. How could thousands of Ming troops stop them...
"shot!"
Seeing the defeated Mughal troops rushing forward, Zhu Chenggong gave an order, and three thousand Ming troops raised their guns and fired volleys at the remaining Mughal troops. More than two thousand people in front were shot, and hundreds of them were killed.
"shot!"
"Bang bang bang..."
The Marines were the best of the best. Facing the remaining Mughal soldiers who were several times their size, they fired their guns quickly and unhurriedly, with almost no miss, and easily blocked the remaining Mughal soldiers.
The Ming cavalry and infantry quickly caught up and quickly surrounded the remaining defeated Mughals.
Seeing that they were surrounded by the Ming army, the remaining Mughal soldiers did not resist and hurriedly threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
Seeing that tens of thousands of Mughal soldiers had all surrendered, Zhang Shuting and Zhu Chenggong looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Shuting:
"Captain, your Majesty is so wise!"
Zhu Chenggong smiled:
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that in such a big country, the soldiers would have no resistance. No wonder it has been conquered by foreigners..."
When the Ming army went on an expedition, Emperor Shenwu explained that despite the tens of millions of Mughals, they were the most easily conquered nation. A 150,000 Ming army could easily conquer the Indian subcontinent.
Now it seems that the situation is similar to what Emperor Shenwu said. The 300,000 Mughal army came in a fierce manner, but was easily defeated by the Ming army.
Zhang Shuting said to the deputy general beside him:
"Let their leader come out and answer!"
"Here!"
The deputy general shouted loudly to the remaining Mughal soldiers who were kneeling in the circle surrounded by the Ming army:
"Listen, Mughal soldiers, and officers from more than a hundred households, come forward and gather immediately. Anyone who resists the order will be killed without mercy!"
The Mughal soldiers kneeling on the ground made a commotion. After a while, more than a hundred people walked out. They tremblingly came to Zhang Shuting's horse and knelt down:
"Meet General Ming!"
Zhang Shuting nodded and said:
"Keep your head up!"
These little Mughal leaders immediately raised their heads obediently.
The three commanders Zhang Shuting, Zhu Chenggong, and Li Shouting rode their horses around them and found that the eyes of these people were filled with fear and surrender, without any sign of anger.
These people have become accustomed to being ruled by outsiders, are relatively easy to domesticate, and have little resistance.
As long as someone attacks this place, they can basically conquer them. Some very weak ethnic groups can invade and rule them, such as the Da Yueshi...
Zhang Shuting didn't know how to lecture him for a while, so he smiled at Zhu Chenggong and said:
"Master Guo, please say a few words!"
Zhu Chenggong knew what Zhang Shuting meant, and he was not polite. He hugged Zhang Shuting with a smile, then looked at these Mughal generals and said:
"I am the Duke of the Min Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that the people of the Mughal Kingdom are the lowest class of people and are all living in dire straits. Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty decided to come to save you.
After the Ming Dynasty overthrows the Mughal Empire, it will abolish the caste system here and divide the land for you. Then everyone will be equal.
Of course, all this depends on your performance. I hope you will help the Ming Dynasty overthrow the Mughal Kingdom, otherwise you will all die, and even your family will be wiped out..."
Zhu Chenggong's words made Zhang Shuting give him a thumbs up. Not only did he want to destroy his country, but he also asked Mughal soldiers to promote the Ming Dynasty...
Zhu Chenggong's words also made Mughal soldiers feel disturbed.
They have basically heard of Zhu Chenggong's name. The most powerful force in the Ming Dynasty is the navy, which has beaten Westerners to pieces.
They also heard that the overseas natives of the Ming Dynasty lived very well. As long as they worked hard and did not oppose the rule of the Ming Dynasty, they could all live a good life. Their lives now are far better than during the colonial rule.
As low-level untouchables in the Indian subcontinent, they lived in darkness under the rule of the Mughals, and they all longed to live and work in peace and contentment like the people of the Ming Dynasty.
If it is true, as the Duke of the Ming Dynasty said, that everyone will be equal after the Ming Dynasty, high-caste people will no longer be able to dominate them, and they will be willing to sacrifice their lives for the Ming Dynasty...
These ordinary officers hesitated for a moment and hurriedly kowtowed on the ground:
"Thank you to the Ming Dynasty for saving us. We are willing to follow the Ming army to overthrow the Mughal Empire. We lower castes want to turn over and become human beings. Please ask the Ming Dynasty General to help us..."
…
This nation is really despicable. As long as you give them some benefits, they will follow you without hesitation, no matter who you are...
To be continued...
