Chapter 1346 Three months to end the war
The Mughal Empire was surrounded by troops inside and outside Mengyingji City, and the sound of gunfire was endless.
Since the last war, the Mughal Empire has begun a cadre movement, invested in the construction of arsenals, and trained several new troops.
At this time, near Mengyingji, an army of 100,000 Mughal Empire was assembled.
The Mughal Empire gathered heavily, and they built Meng Yingji into a high city and thick walls, which made it difficult for the Mengxi coalition forces to capture.
In 1663 AD, the first month of the thirteenth year of Longwu.
The Governor Kaduoqi was standing at the top of Mengyingji's city and was paying close attention to the movements of the Mengxi coalition forces outside the city.
The Bangladeshi army attacked for many days but failed to break through the Mughal army's defense line. However, as the Western Army arrived in Monyingji, the situation became more and more dangerous.
At this time, Governor Kaduoqi looked at the enemy troops gathered outside the city and turned his head and asked, "Have the investigation team set out?"
"Report to the Lord, they should have arrived at Novab Ganjie!" the subordinate replied.
Kaduoqi breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope the investigation team will find out the truth as soon as possible, and then put pressure on Shahshuja to let them retreat!"
At this time, he looked at the outside of the city where there were not a long military camp, with people scattered, and all kinds of towering heavy equipment.
"Before this, the enemy is very likely to launch an attack. We must defend Meng Yingji and prevent the enemy from breaking through the defense line!" Ka Duo's teeth quaked.
...
Several miles away from the city, Li Dingguo, the general of the Western Kingdom who had just arrived, was observing the defense line of the Mughal army.
The 100,000 Mughal troops were deployed with Mengyingji as the center. The city was tall and strong, and there were also many camps and trenches outside the city.
"Remember, the city is three meters high, with heavy artillery on it, a moat in front of the city, and obstacles such as deer antlers and horse-retardant in front of the river, and landmines may also be buried!" Li Dingguo said casually while observing with a telescope, "The city is facing the Hang River in the north, and there is a camp to the south..."
Around him, the military staff quickly recorded his words and drew sketches so that they could create sand tables after returning to the camp.
At this time, Li Dingguo looked at it for a while, suddenly pulled out his reins, "Go and continue to investigate!"
The staff officer quickly took away the paper and pen, "Master, you will have to meet the enemy if you move forward!"
Li Dingguo didn't care, "I want to take a detour to the back of the city and take a look!"
After speaking, he had already rode a horse and walked away around the formation. The staff officer and others could only urge the horse to follow.
...
In the coalition camp, Zhang Xianzhong was talking to Taal.
"Your Highness, the investigation team has arrived at Novab Ganjie, and our Khan is dealing with him." Tar said anxiously: "The attitude of the big fight is ambiguous now. If the result is not conducive to us, the Khan is worried that the Khan will force us to stop the war, then the previous efforts will be in vain!"
Zhang Xianzhong said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, don't worry, tell you Khan and let him delay for three months! Within three months, the Lone King will fight to Delhi. By then, the countries have not yet reacted, the battle has ended, and the raw rice has been cooked, so Lone will not give the countries the opportunity to mediate."
"Three months?" Taal was a little surprised and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness the Western King should not underestimate the Mughal Empire too much. Aurangzeb has worked hard to govern the country in the past four years and trained the new army. There are more troops than our two families after they joined forces. Don't underestimate him!"
Zhang Xianzhong was full of confidence. Four years ago, he fought with the Mughal army. More than 100,000 people lost as soon as they said they were defeated, and they had no combat power.
Zhang Xianzhong fought for many years and had many troops fighting with him. He felt that in terms of combat power, the army of the Mughal Empire was much worse than Zuo Liangyu and was no match for the Western Army at all.
The Mughal Empire made guns and cannons and trained the new army, but Zhang Xianzhong has not been idle for four years. He purchased a large number of equipment and equipped the Western Army, and the combat power of the Western Army also made a leap forward.
It was precisely because of the large amount of money that Zhang Xianzhong wanted to expand his territory and was eager to recover his costs.
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Prime Minister doesn't have to worry. The Lone King is not proud of the enemy, but contempts his opponent from the perspective of strength! Now you can just hold on to the investigation team. Leave the military affairs to the Lone King!"
Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong was full of confidence, Taal could only say, "Okay, I'll send someone to inform the Khan now and try to delay the investigation team!"
After speaking, Tarr picked up the curtain and went out.
At this time, as soon as Taal left, Li Dingguo, covered in dust, led a few staff members into the tent.
Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
Li Dingguo took photos of the dust and said, "Report to the king, I have found out!"
"Sit down and say!" Zhang Xianzhong pointed to the seat and said to the guards: "Get some food here!"
Li Dingguo sat down and asked the staff to hand over the recorded information to Zhang Xianzhong for review.
At this time, the guards came in with food. Zhang Xianzhong became the King of the West, and he was the leader of the peasant army. He ate whatever the soldiers ate. Li Dingguo was also influenced by it and often shared the joys and sorrows with his soldiers.
Zhang Xianzhong looked at the drawings and said, "It's time to eat, so you can just deal with Dingguo!"
Li Dingguo investigated for a whole morning and was indeed hungry. He picked up his rice bowl, poured a spoonful of broth, and then ate it with pickles and dried fish.
Zhang Xianzhong also drank soup while looking at the pictures. He found that there were text marked on it, and the content was very detailed. Just looking at the information, you can basically understand the defense situation of the Mughal army.
"Dingguo, what do you think?" Zhang Xianzhong put down the drawings and frowned.
After reading the drawings, Zhang Xianzhong found that the defense of the Mughal army was very well organized and couldn't help but frown.
Li Dingguo put down his bowl and wiped his mouth, "Report to the king, according to my observation, the Mughal army has completely transformed into the east in the past four years and has learned a lot of military concepts and tactics of the Qian Dynasty. At least on the surface, there is no flaw in defense deployment, but the specific effect will only be known after the attack!"
Zhang Xianzhong nodded slightly: "Then how do you think you should attack? Should you attack the enemy camp first or break the city directly?"
Zhang Xianzhong was in front of Taal and said that he would hit Delhi within three months. However, after seeing the drawings drawn by Li Dingguo, he was a little worried.
Li Dingguo stood up and saluted, "The king, my opinion is to neither attack the camp nor the city!"
Zhang Xianzhong frowned, "How to defeat the enemy!"
Li Dingguo walked to the map hanging in the tent and pointed to the map and said, "When I was observing the enemy situation, I found that the enemy's city and two camps were standing with the word "City" and it was difficult to attack. However, they concentrated their troops near Meng Yingji, but the rear was defended empty. This formation was top-notch. My opinion was to divide the troops around Meng Yingji, penetrate directly to the enemy's rear, and cut off the enemy's supplies! In this way, at most, Meng Yingji's enemy troops would be destroyed by our army!"
Zhang Xianzhong frowned when he heard the words, "Does it take three months?"
