Chapter 1414 The demise of the Mughals
After the Allies were defeated, all forces in India were too busy to take care of themselves. The British and French rushed back to the colony, and Radashuko also fled back to Sindh, and no one helped Aurangzeb to guard Delhi.
At this time, facing the attack of the coalition forces and the rebellion of the princes in China, the huge Mughal Empire collapsed instantly.
The Mughal Empire, which was conquered by force, was also defeated by encountering powerful force.
The powerful Ganchao used more powerful force to make this empire, which was at its peak, be defeated and destroyed in one battle.
When the coalition forces appeared outside Delhi, the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb hurriedly evacuated. The Turkic Mongolian nobles in the city also hurriedly left, but most of the Delhi people remained in the city.
After Kolkata defeated the main force of the Allies, Gao Huan immediately divided his troops into three groups.
First, the coalition's naval fleet boldly bypassed the southern tip of India and entered the Arabian Sea to prevent Britain and France from evacuating India.
Secondly, Zhang Xianzhong led the Western Front Corps to march towards Delhi, and finally Li Pingyuan led his army south to collect land in southern India.
Because the main forces of the Allies were lost, and in this area of India, they were domesticated by Brahmin doctrines for thousands of years, all ethnic groups were deprived of the genes of resistance.
Here, as long as those Brahmin priests and great landlords and nobles do not cause trouble, ordinary people will hardly resist.
The two armies made great progress and did not encounter any resistance along the way. Once the captured nobles were released, they surrendered with the people of the state.
At this time, Li Dingguo, as the vanguard of the Western Route Army, chased the Allied troops all the way and arrived at the city of Delhi in less than half a month.
As a great country that has been established for a hundred years, the Mughal Empire's capital Delhi is one of the top ten cities in the world today, with a population of more than one million.
In the eastern suburbs of Delhi, tens of thousands of coalition soldiers marched all over the field, with soldiers carrying muskets in front and war horses dragging the cannon behind.
The coalition forces are full of murderous intent and daunting.
Zhang Xianzhong led a team of cavalry to a hill outside the city, stopped his horse, and pointed at the city in the distance with a horse whip, "King, we are in Delhi again."
Looking at the city of Delhi in the distance, the Western soldiers couldn't help but sigh that they had fought fiercely here, but their fierce attack was blocked by the Mughal army and eventually defeated them.
More than two years ago, the scene of the Western Army retreating from Delhi was still vivid in my mind. Zhang Xianzhong picked up the telescope and looked at it, thinking: "Can the Allies still block their army this time? I'm afraid they have already run away!"
Zhang Xianzhong had a little tired face and his eyes were covered with blood, but he still gave out a sharp look.
Gao Huan promised to grant Delhi to Zhang Xianzhong, so he rushed forward without stopping and rushed to the city of Delhi in half a month to see his fiefdom.
At this time, in the circular lens of the telescope, the first thing that caught my eye was a large area of low shanty town, and then the towering Delhi City.
"King, attack or recruit?" Li Dingguo asked.
Zhang Xianzhong looked at it for a while before putting down his telescope and said, "The Allied Army on the West Road has fled. Gu predicted that there is not much force in Delhi City. Gu sees there is no need to fight, so he should recruit him to help! It is best if they surrender, and they will not surrender and conquer them."
After the main force of Kolkata's Allies was defeated, more than 100,000 Allies on the Western Front immediately retreated from the front line when they heard the news. However, they did not expect that the coalition forces advanced rapidly and caught up with them every two days.
The Allied Army, which had no fighting spirit, was rushed by the coalition forces, and more than 100,000 people scattered into animals.
In Delhi City now, the army should not exceed 30,000, or even fewer.
Zhang Xianzhong went westward, and the cities along the way were all falling, and Delhi probably wouldn't have any resistance.
In addition, Zhang Xianzhong also has a selfish intention. Since Gao Huan conferred Delhi to him, he naturally did not want to destroy Delhi.
Among the coalition forces, not only the Western Army, but also the troops of Vietnam, Siam, Zhen La and other countries. Once the war begins, they will definitely take advantage of the troubled waters and rob Delhi.
Now Zhang Xianzhong has already been under Wu Amon. He not only knows how to fight and kill, but also understands the need to build an economy. After a few years of war, the Delhi area has been defeated, and the large slums outside the city are the best proof.
Zhang Xianzhong did not want another siege to destroy his future capital.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong said again: "Put the artillery and shoot a few shots into the city so that the remaining enemies in the city will know that if they don't surrender, they will have a dead end."
When Li Dingguo heard the order, he quickly ordered: "Go and send orders to the artillery array, fire artillery into the city, and then ask Ka Duoqi to send people to persuade the people in the city to surrender!"
After the military order was conveyed, the artillery regiment of the coalition forces quickly built artillery formations in the suburbs.
With such a large target in Delhi City, the gun regiment almost didn't need to aim, and directly adjusted the gun to the maximum elevation angle. It was a round of rapid fire towards Delhi City.
"Boom boom boom" shells fell into the city, and loud bangs continued, and black smoke rose in the city.
Explosions occurred on the streets in Delhi City, overturning the crowded crowds, and they were killed.
The artillery bombardment of the coalition forces caused the already panic city to riot immediately. The nobles of the Mughal Empire rushed to flee, and the crowds filled the streets.
There are two types of nobles in Mughals, one is the foreign Mongolians and the other is the local Brahmin nobles.
Most of the people who run now are Turkic Mongols. They have no foundation here. Just like the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the Mughal Empire was over, they lost their protection. After the city was destroyed, they would definitely become the targets of liquidation.
Therefore, they crowded out of the city and retreated to the west in the fire of artillery.
Another group of indigenous nobles in India were mostly high-ranking Brahmins, with influence and a large number of believers in the local area.
After these people decided that the coalition forces occupied Delhi, they were already useful, and the coalition forces had to cooperate with them, so they chose to stay.
However, what they didn't know was that Gao Huan had promised to grant Delhi to Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong's rule logic in Delhi is completely different from the logic of the Qian Dynasty supporting the regime and carrying out proxy rule.
At this time, there were only more than 10,000 troops left in Delhi City. When Aurangzeb left, a large number of Mughal troops also left, and the remaining troops could not resist the coalition's attack at all.
The Mughal nobles who remained in the city saw the coalition troops approaching the city and then attacking Delhi, and immediately frightened them out of the sky!
At this time, there was a group of people coming out of Delhi City. They were not wearing armor or weapons, but came to the Western Army array with the internationally universal white flag.
Soon, the officers on the front line sent soldiers to send him to Zhang Xianzhong.
