"Remember to bring that thing with you. It may be useless, but it may also be of great use."

The Expeditionary Force was preparing to go north to fight the Mughal Empire. Wu Yi, the battalion commander who arrived from Malacca, reminded Qin Zuoming again.

"I asked the soldiers to take them with me. It's really not easy to fight in hot places." Qin Zuoming said.

It was already hot and the weather was very hot.

"We soldiers stationed outside the local area are in trouble. Mosquitoes and malaria, where are the best conditions for soldiers stationed in the local area? What's worse is that sometimes we have to enter the jungle, swamp and indigenous warfare. Although the salaries of our 12th Corps are higher than those of other corps, who can understand our pain?" Wu Yi said.

"Haha, it's time for us to set off!" Qin Zuoming was transferred to Bangladesh and had a deep understanding of the humid and hot climate here.

The expeditionary army formed only 3,500 people, divided into three units, Qin Zuoming's Tubang mercenaries, Wu Yi's infantry battalion, and an artillery company. Their opponent was the 70,000 army of the Mughal Emperor.

No matter who it is, it is hard to imagine that a unit of 3,500 people dares to fight and even acts like an expedition!

The most shocking thing was the Mughal emperor who wrote the war letter and a group of princes.

They just symbolize the underground war letters to give the Ganges fleet enough time to enter the Hugli River. They did not expect that the defenders of Kolkata Fort actually took over the war letters, and the Mughal Emperor was about to hold a dignified battle near the village of Plasi!

"What are they thinking? Why are they only 3,000 people, and it is difficult to guard the fortress, and they dare to take the initiative to fight with us?" Shah Jahan invited the second prince and a group of princes and princes to gather next to a parchment map, and always felt that the other party's behavior was difficult to understand.

The defenders' response made them wonder if there was any conspiracy. After all, something abnormal must be true!

They didn't know that 1,500 reinforcements from Malacca City had landed in Kolkata at this time, and they thought that there were only 3,000 defenders in Kolkata Fort at this time. However, even if they knew that the enemy had 1,500 more people, they would not change their surprise. You should know that the main force on their side had 70,000, not to mention that there were 20,000 troops and a large number of civilians to ensure logistics.

No one would be stupid enough to fight in the field with a force of thousands of people with a large number of cavalry!

"What the hell is the East India Company thinking? If I were their commander, I would definitely hold on to the fortress and open up the river, and I would never take such a risk..."

"Their generals are absolutely madmen! They also have to divide their troops to guard the fortress, and how many people can they fight against us?!"

"This may be their trap! When they are not in a desperate situation, they will go out of the city to challenge our 70,000 troops. If they are not sure, it is impossible for normal people to do this!"

The princes and generals said one by one, but they were shocked but could not explain why they faced the challenge.

"Shashujia, you have dealt with the East India Company and have some understanding of them. What do you think?"Shashujia looked at the only princes and princes of the Bangladeshi army who had fought with the East India Company here.

He didn't know that the one who fought with them was not the former East India Company, but the standing army from China!

"I thought that if the other party had no conspiracy, then they were extremely confident in themselves. No, maybe it would be better to describe them as conceit! When we besieged their fortress a few months ago, they attacked our front line under the fog. They were a group of conceited madmen. If we had expected that there would be fog in the morning, we would never have been successfully attacked by them, but would have beaten them all in one place." The second prince Shashujia replied.

"Extremely conceited? Are they really so powerful?" Shah Jahan found that he seemed to underestimate his opponent.

"I think we can send 10,000 cavalry to trample their way after they leave the city, then use infantry to dig trenches, deploy artillery, and trap them to death in Prasi." The second prince is not a playboy. Although he was hollowed out by wine and sex, he was able to release the important deputy king of Bangladesh, and he also had his own abilities and connections. He made a plan.

Shah Jahan looked at the situation on the parchment map with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were filled with gloomy weather.

He took the initiative to propose a battle in the wild with an imperial turret of hundreds of millions of people to a fortress with only 3,000 people on the other side. Now the other side has taken over the war book, but does he want to use a somewhat despicable tactic?

"Our soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, together, have 190,000 civilians, and there are 70,000 soldiers deployed in Plasi alone. There are more than 40,000 cavalry used for field battles and hundreds of elephants. Such troops still need to escape the battle. This is not the demeanor we should have, and it is not a good thing to win!" Shah Jahan considered the gains and losses, and believed that he should achieve a complete victory in the battle with the other party, so that he could attack the confidence of the conquerors on the sea and the many princes and generals who shocked the Mughal Empire!

The most fundamental thing is Shah Jahan believed from the bottom of his heart that his son deliberately exaggerated the enemy's strength and wanted to escape the failure of the Kolkata siege. He simply did not believe that the other party's firearm technology would be more advanced than he did.

"Send a ranger to expand the reconnaissance scope to cover this area. There are many forests, swamps and lakes here, and they need to prevent them from using the terrain to hide their troops. As long as they are careful of what strategy they use, we will never fail in the frontal decisive battle!" Shah Jahan was still cautious and sent a large number of scouts to obtain information on the battlefield.

"If it was a dignified battle, we would never be defeated." The princes and princes were also full of confidence.

Just kidding, if 70,000 people lost to an enemy of less than 5,000 in the battle, this would nail them to the Mughal pillar of shame and they could jump directly into the Ganges!

The 3,500 expeditionary force led by Qin Zuoming, Wu Yi and Chen Bangyan crossed the river and marched northward. It started to rain heavily on the way. The expeditionary force had to march for 7 miles in the heavy rain and then arrived at a forest north of Plasi Village, about 5 miles away from the camp of the Mughal King Division. Here the expeditionary force set up a position.

At 1 a.m. the next day, the heavy rain stopped. The scouts of the Mughal Empire discovered the expeditionary force that suddenly appeared in the woods north of Prasi Village. They couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. If the expedition force took advantage of the heavy rain, they might have been in chaos!
