"No, the empire's army was completely defeated..."

On the other side of the river, Bangladesh Governor Qasim was still unbelievable when he saw the collapse of the Mughal army with his own eyes.

Everyone thought that the gunpowder and firearms of the Expeditionary Force were wet by heavy rain, and the cautious Mughal Emperor also sent a light cavalry to test it. It turned out that it was obvious that the Mughal army was deceived by the cunning Expeditionary Force!

55,000 Mughal troops began to flee to the village of Plasi, and the heavy bronze cannons owned by the emperor were destroyed by soldiers of the Expeditionary Force.

Without these powerful big guys, the deterrence of the Mughal Emperor seemed to have been reduced.

The Mughal army that has not yet collapsed on the battlefield is only 15,000 people led by Qasim and the Bangladesh prince!

"Governor General, what should we do if His Majesty the Emperor's army is defeated? Should we cross the river and attack the enemy behind him and cover His Majesty the Emperor's retreat?" The princes and generals of Bengal asked Qasim for instructions.

When the prince who had quarreled with Qasim before saw the emperor's defeat, he actually felt that Qasim had foresight and would not cause trouble at this time. They believed that if Qasim had not delayed the war, their Bangladesh army would have been defeated now.

Qasim's breathing became rapid, and he had to take sides at this time!

If the Mughal Emperor was assisted in retreating, he might be rewarded by the Mughal Emperor after the war. If he became independent at this time, perhaps he could become the king of Bengal...

"Our gunpowder and firearms are all damp, and there is no way to cover His Majesty the Emperor's retreat. It is better for us to save our strength and return to Plassi to meet with His Majesty the Emperor!" said Kasim.

The princes of Bangladesh were also afraid that their troops would suffer heavy losses, so they agreed to Qasim's suggestion, and a 15,000 Bangladeshi army marched towards Plasi.

On the war horse, Qasim called a group of trusted generals and princes, and ordered them: "When we arrive at Plassi later, we will immediately lead our troops to surround Plassi..."

"Governor, you are going to rebel!!" Qasim's confidants were shocked.

They never thought that their immediate superior wanted to betray the emperor and led their troops back to Plasi Village not to meet with the emperor, but to capture the emperor!

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy! His Majesty the Emperor has been defeated, and the East India Company is aggressive. We, Bangladesh, must rely on our own strength to become the king of Bangladesh, only me! If a great thing can be accomplished, each of you is a founding hero, I will give each of you twice the territory now, no, three times!" said Qasim.

"Three times the current territory!" The trusted princes and generals couldn't help but show greedy eyes!

They didn't care about the emperor of the empire, but as the feudal lords of land, they could not resist such temptation!

At 2 pm, the Expeditionary Force launched a full-scale counterattack, and the outcome was decided at 3 o'clock, and there were fleeing Mughal soldiers everywhere.

Not to mention 55,000 people, even 55,000 pigs were captured by Qin Zuoming and others for three days and three nights!

"I didn't expect that bringing tarps really played a big role. Without it, our situation would be very dangerous." Qin Zuoming and others were a little lucky after the outcome was decided.

Heavy rain is undoubtedly a dangerous thing for the firearmed troops. Without firearms, they can only use bayonets to engage in close combat, and they are likely to be forced to withdraw their troops.

"Only trained soldiers can use tarps to protect gunpowder as soon as possible... Next, we will advance towards Plasi Village and completely destroy their fighting spirit. It is expected that the artillery will be able to advance to Plasi Village in one and a half hours." Wu Yi said.

The officers and soldiers of the Expeditionary Force judged that the defeat of the Mughal army could not be reassembled within an hour and a half. It took them six hours to set up positions here from Plasi Village.

Moreover, the Mughal army had lost firearms and some bows and arrows, and the morale was shaken, and the situation was already clear. The Mughal army could only continue to retreat to the hinterland.

The defeated expeditionary force took only a small amount of time to regroup the formation, and the horses dragged their artillery toward the village of Plasi.

The village of Pulasi was full of deserters, and the soldiers could not find the generals, and they were in chaos. These deserters were still nervous, and no one knew when the expeditionary army would chase Pulasi.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, are you okay?!" The Imperial Guard protected Shah Jahan and fled back to Plasi without any harm.

"Call all the princes and make them gather their respective troops again!" Shah Jahan's face was pale at this time. He did not expect that he would be fooled by the other party!

The opponent's firepower was much stronger than he thought. It was not that there were ambushes in the woods, but that their muskets and training made their 1,000 men equivalent to thousands or even tens of thousands of mescorers!

The second prince Sha Shujia luckily saved his life from the chaos, but his guards had no time to stop the bleeding during the escape, and the wound on his right arm made him grin in pain.

"This revenge must be avenged!" Sha Shujia gritted his teeth and was concentrated in the lead bullet. This arm was probably useless. I don't know how much trouble it would cause him in the future.

"The Bangladesh troops are withdrawing!" A prince discovered the Bangladesh army that also retreated to Plasi.

"Let Qasim come to see me!" Emperor Shah Jahan said immediately when he heard that Qasim was back.

There is no chaos at present, only the 15,000 troops of Bangladesh. With this army, it may be possible to gain a foothold in Pulasi Village for the time being, and the outcome is unknown.

Qasim showed up in the east of Plasi village with 15,000 people. Behind him was a group of trusted generals and princes who supported him. As for the princes who opposed him, he had become prisoners under the ranks.

"His Majesty the Emperor ordered you to come and meet! The enemy will soon attack from the north, and an elite force needs to block their attack!" The Imperial Guard Chief found Qasim and said with a mighty attitude.

Qasim looked concerned and asked tentatively: "Can His Majesty the Emperor get in the way?"

The chief guard replied: "With the Lord's blessing, His Majesty the Emperor is safe and sound. However, His Highness, the Second Prince, was injured in the gunshot while leading his troops to fight."

"That's really not great..." Qasim suddenly turned his back and ordered him to "take him down!"

Soon, several long knives were placed on the neck of the guard!

"You are going to rebel!" shouted the chief guard.

"From now on, I, Kasim, are the king of the Bangladesh region, look no less arrogant!" Kasim threw a horse whip on his face, "encircling the village of Plasi!"

The 15,000 Bangladesh army not only did not defend according to the emperor's order, but instead began to flee with the imperial army that fled to Plasi Village, desperately blocking the defeated army. He also threatened that the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan was killed in the chaos. Many princes and princes were unable to distinguish the real situation in the chaos, and even led their people to surrender to Qasim.
