Chapter 645 Nashik's Great Victory

"Can you be sure?" Chen Xie was very surprised. How could this guy dare to be so sure? He was a 200,000 army outside.

"Master, the villain is looking at the banner. In the past morning, the banners sent out were Shah Jahan's elite guards, all the troops that followed him for many years. These troops were very loyal, so they kept fighting to the death. Apart from these troops, the remaining troops were much less combat power. Now, Shah Jahan has at most war elephants and more than 10,000 elite cavalry soldiers, and the other elite troops have been exposed." Shah Yar answered with certainty. Chen Xiexin believed it, but it was still very surprised.

This Shah Jahan came up and invested in elite troops, which was not in common sense. Shouldn’t he go to some garbage troops first as cannon fodder and the main force finally came on? After a little thought, Chen Xie figured it out that Shah Jahan wanted to fight and decide quickly. Otherwise, he couldn’t do this. Since that’s the case, then seize his mentality and continue to defend.

Chen Xie's judgment was correct. Shah Jahan just wanted to fight quickly. The reason was very simple. He had no money. This was a love emperor. In order to build the Taj Mahal, he spent a lot of money. He also had to build a black tomb opposite him and buried himself. He hoped to meet Taj after his death. It can be seen how deeply this person was in love with Taj. During his reign, he was very powerful and spent a lot of money to build the tomb. It was normal for him to have no money.

Having a clear idea in his heart, Chen Xie ordered again to shrink the defense line and give his opponent a hope. Military orders are like mountains, and each unit starts to retreat in an orderly manner and covers alternately. Although it is mainly Japanese, each unit has many veterans as its guide to life. With their assistance, the commander can ensure that there will be no chaos when retreating. Moreover, this time for retreat needs to be mastered. It is also a big test for these Japanese officers and soldiers.

Maybe it was because the battle was too easy. Before dark, all the troops retreated safely and the losses were almost zero. In contrast, Shah Jahan felt distressed. Although he had cleared some of the outer positions during the day, the price was too heavy. The army he could fight most was not more than 40,000, and 30% of them were injured and killed in one day. There was no need to go to the battlefield to watch the tragic situation, and he felt bleeding in his heart when he listened to the report.

What is going on? How could the firearms of the Ming army be sharper than the Portuguese? What to do tomorrow? Should we continue to attack or find a way to make peace with our opponents? The idea of ​​making peace just flashed by, and Shah Jahan made a decision. He stopped attacking tomorrow, and then left the most elite war elephants and musketeers at the most critical moment before using it.

Nashik is not a big city, and the positions outside the city cannot be easily abandoned. After a day of battle, Shah Jahan made adjustments and sent a force to detour the city and cut off the retreat. He did not surround the three ques and one, but was preparing to starve the enemy to death.

Chen Xie had not expected this change and thought Shah Jahan would fight quickly, but he didn't expect that this guy would not attack hard and change his tactics. In this regard, Chen Xie also felt that he took it for granted, and if he had been himself, he would not continue to attack fiercely. Cut off the back and be surrounded by others. This is not an ordinary trouble. The key is that these people in the city will definitely be volatile.

There was no battle the next day. After dark, Chen Xie immediately made adjustments and took the initiative to attack.

Chen Xie was right. There was indeed an undercurrent in the city that night. After all, it was on the territory of others, and most people would not tame it immediately. Shah Yar's new residence was lit in the evening, but fortunately it was discovered in time and did not burn. In the middle of the night, Chen Xie was woken up. He heard that it was this matter, so he sent someone to comfort him. He felt it was not enough. He went to the scene in person and said to a group of panic-in-one Yinjie: "Don't worry, my country's Duke will go to the battle in person tomorrow and defeat Sha Jahan."

Chen Xie did not tell them how to defeat the enemy army ten times that of his own ten times his own. He did not tell them, nor did he worry that the news would be leaked. This was what he told them on purpose, hoping that Shah Jahan would be prepared and take out the most elite army tomorrow. Once any king loses his elite army, his rule will often be shaken. From this point of view, the so-called "Tongzhi Revival" could appear in the middle and late stages of the "My Qing Dynasty". Cixi was really a very awesome woman. How to say it, it was very playful, but she had poor knowledge.

The next morning, various commands echoed throughout the camp. The Second Division of the Xinghai Army (b), as a reserve force, lined up in an orderly manner and left the city in sequence. All the artillery soldiers who had not been used were pulled out.

Shah Jahan was not idle either. He rushed to the front line as soon as he got the news. When he arrived in front, his opponent had already arranged the array. He pressed forward one by one, pressing forward neatly. This was the first time the invading enemy left the annoying fortifications and took the initiative to fight in the field. The number of people continued to be too large, but there were only more than 10,000 people.

Is there a lot of ten thousand people? It's really a lot. When ten thousand people stand together, they all see heads. But on this battlefield, Shah Jahan saw two arrows. As Shah Jahan's opponent, Chen Xie personally led the team to the battle, stood in the middle of the team, holding a telescope to observe the reaction of the opponent. He was surrounded by Guard Huanran, and Shah Yar, the Indian traitor, was also brought, and some things needed his explanation.

Shah Jahan, who was not willing to be outdone, immediately revealed all his family's assets, such as war elephants, muskets, cavalry, and elite infantry who had retreated before. Judging from the comparison of troops, the front was about 10 to 1. Shah Jahan had to ensure the pressure on both wings, and the enemies on the position also came out. One hundred thousand troops were enough in his opinion.

"Kill!" He raised the battle, Shah Jahan couldn't wait to give an order. He thought that his strategy had been successful and forced the enemy to leave the city to take the initiative to fight. This idea was correct, but he never thought about whether the head-on decisive battle could win. This question had never been thought about. Chen Xie had indeed miscalculated it. The original plan was to consume it and launched a counterattack. Now he had to fight in advance. He was still very unhappy about it and underestimated the Third Brother. The problem was that Chen Xie knew that he would continue to underestimate the Third Brother, otherwise the army with Japanese as the main force would not come to India.

The two brigades pressed forward with two arrows. With such unrestrained fighting style, Shah Jahan almost vomited blood without anger. He immediately sent his most elite cavalry to fight the enemy on the left wing, and the right wing used the combination of war elephants and musketeers as arrows to assist with elite infantry. The shouts of Mughal soldiers on the battlefield were shocking, and Sharyar, who was following Chen Xie, had been pretending to be calm. There were really fewer people, and he had no idea when he left the solid fortifications to fight in the field.

This is a battle destined to make Shah Jahan vomit blood. When the most elite cavalry launched an attack, the opponents lined up in an orderly manner and no longer moved forward, but fought with a platoon. When the cavalry advanced forward, and there were no less than a thousand steps away, the opponent taught him a lesson with rockets, what is modern warfare?

The cavalry of rockets had never seen rockets. When more than a thousand rockets were washed, the situation could be imagined. They immediately became a mess, and the first attack turned into a chaos. They continued to stubbornly attack. The artillery once again taught Jia Han's cavalry. The battle on the other side was exactly the same. After the war elephant was disturbed, they ran wildly and directly disrupted their formation. Xing Haijun's neat formation continued to press forward, rockets, shells, and gun volleys. This combination was promoted layer by layer.

Shah Jahan had strong troops, but the process of this battle was like a wave hitting a rock. Under Chen Xie's command, an infantry division was firmly formed, as firm as two sharp knives, stabbing the opponent's ribs. Shah Jahan could only continue to join the troops and try to stop the opponent's advance, but no unit could last for too long, at most one or two hours, and be defeated.

The morning battle was barely maintained. Before dark, Shah Jahan unexpectedly found that he could not hold on. It was not that the troops were all exhausted, but that no unit had the courage to continue fighting. This battle was praised by later Indian historians as the "light of civilization" to illuminate the dark imperial sky, bringing freedom and light to the Indian people.

OK, this is the result of brainwashing. Don't take it seriously.

The situation on the battlefield was that when Chen Xie put a brigade of the First Division as a reserve team into the battle, the direction of the entire battle was determined. Before dark, the army of the 200,000 Mughal Empire collapsed, abandoned 30,000 corpses and fled north overnight.

After being defeated on the front, everything from left to right or cut off the rear became meaningless. The troops of various Mughal Empire fled overnight, and generals from all walks of life ran back to their starting points. It was no surprise for Chen Xie to win the "Nasik Victory". Just as the British and French coalition forces defeated "My Qing" at Baliqiao, it was a truth, but what happened next surprised Chen Xie.

Sweeping the battlefield is naturally the favorite thing Japanese soldiers like. They searched for valuable things first, then handed over the records, and followed the company as a unit to distribute 30% of them to everyone's heads. After the huge battle, Chen Xie did not rush forward, but waited for subsequent transportation supplies. After three days of rest and preparing to head to Delhi, Schalyar brought news that Chen Xie absolutely unexpectedly.

"Master, Aurangzebu launched a mutiny, put Shah Jahan under house arrest, sent envoys to demand peace talks with the master."

This was really unexpected, it was really too unexpected. Looking at Shahryaer kneeling on the ground, Chen Xie was really mixed with emotion. The wheel of history really had huge inertia. But sometimes it was delayed, and sometimes it was advanced. Moving forward was inevitable? Think about it carefully, it took me so long to change the trajectory of the wheel of history. It was only a few days in India. How could it shake the progress of history? (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
