My Daming New Empire

Page 710

Because the enemy has not dispersed yet, their cavalry is still not damaged, and they still have enough attack power.

So when they saw the Delhi soldiers fleeing frantically, they did not pursue them.

Soldiers with loaded ammunition are still firing in a deterrent manner, and more soldiers will fill up their muskets that are too late to reload in the future.

When the thick smoke finally dissipated, there were a large number of killed and wounded soldiers around the short hill centered on the soldiers of Ming Dynasty.

They screamed helplessly there, and the only thing waiting for them was death.

At this time, of course, there is no need for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to dispatch. Many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty even slackened down and couldn't stand the tragic scene before them, squatting on the ground and retching.

At this time, two thousand Indian servants came in handy.Armed with long knives and spears, they began to sweep the field.

They can't fight wars, but at this time they turned into gods of death, reaping lives one by one.

The weapons, money, and jewelry of the dead soldiers became their trophies.

But they didn't dare to hide, and piled valuable gold and silver on the hillside in front of Zhang Xin and his generals.

After being inspected by the soldiers of Ming Dynasty, they can take away the outdated weapons, stripped clothes, and put away their shoes. These are their trophies.

And these things, especially weapons, can also bring them a lot of income.

In the past, they were also difficult to carry.But now there were horses, and one by one they happily tied these to the horses.

"Send out secret agents, observe the enemy's whereabouts, choose a new place to settle, sort out and seize. Rescue the wounded."

At this time, without Chang Fuliang's command, Zhang Xin and Mu Xin knew what to do.

One order after another was conveyed, but none of them was to chase the enemy.

The enemy was scattered so quickly, but not many of them died.

A rough observation shows that the other party only lost [-] to [-]% of their troops at most, and chasing rashly in this strange place will only put their soldiers in danger.

Moreover, they want to save more troops than kill the enemy.

The purpose of their conquest of Delhi was not to occupy this place, nor to eliminate the people of Delhi, but to weaken their strength so that they could no longer become a threat to Ming Dynasty's rule here.

As long as their power is disabled, let them know how powerful Daming is, and they no longer become fans of the Timurid Kingdom, they have already achieved their goal.

Of course, it is far more than that. If the other party can directly surrender, that is the best result.

Even if they cannot be completely surrendered and they are allowed to push out of Peshawar City on the Khyber Pass, it will still achieve the strategic goal of Ming Dynasty to attack here.

In this battle, hundreds of Ming soldiers were injured and dozens died.

These were all wounded and killed by the opponent's bow and arrow, and seven of them died at the hands of their own people.

Because a young soldier was too nervous, he didn't throw the grenade out when throwing the bomb, but dropped his hand and landed at his feet.

This grenade took seven lives.

Fortunately, he himself died, otherwise, even if he survived, he would be killed to sacrifice the flag.

The power of the enemy's bows and arrows is limited, as long as they are not shot at vital points, they will die on the spot, and everyone else will be slightly injured.

The doctors accompanying the army treated them nervously, and finally bandaged everyone before dark.

At this time, Xi Zuo chose a hill by the river in the west of their battlefield, and had already set up camp and prepared defenses.

All the wounded were transferred to the new camp, rested overnight, and continued to set off tomorrow.

Although the Delhi people who fled in a hurry did not see the Ming soldiers chasing them, they were scared out of their wits.

They didn't even dare to enter the city of Shahpur, and fled all the way to Delhi.

This also made the people and nobles in Shahpur City panic. Although they were Hindus, they were also afraid that the Ming people would massacre them.

That night, they sent envoys, hoping to exchange money for Daming to let go of Shahpur City.

Zhang Xin and the others had no plans to attack the city. They were all cavalry and had no siege equipment. If they attacked by force, they might not be able to take it down. The number of dead people was unknown.

But he knew that he was not a good bargainer, but sent Qin Chuan, the supervisor.

Only by letting these wealthy eunuchs go out, can the oil be sucked out.

But Qin Chuan happily accepted the task, he didn't go to see the envoy first, he asked the guide about the economic situation here.

When he knew that Jaipur is the center of gemstones in the Indian peninsula, and Shahpur is also the origin of gemstones, his smile became even brighter.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Fu Anzi, King Saifuddin is here."

Huang Yuan raised his head from the document in front of him and asked, "Isn't His Majesty hunting in the outskirts of the city today? Didn't Saifuddin go there?"

"The army has just returned, and His Majesty has hunted down several wolves and a bear, and is preparing to roast the bear meat at night."

Huang Yuan smiled. Although there are bears here in Persia, they are only found in the north. The climate in the south is hot. Even if there are bears, the tribes here probably deliberately caught them and released them.

However, he has no intention of exposing this point, as long as His Majesty is in a happy mood, it is better than anything else.

He got up and went around the office desk, and greeted the door in person.

Saifuddin is the king of Hormos. Although this is only a small country, it has been protected by Ming Dynasty in recent years. Hormos has become a famous trade center in the Middle East and has developed very rapidly.

Saifuddin had always been threatened by the Timur Kingdom, but now that he had the protection of the Ming Navy, he no longer trembled in fear. However, facing the Ming Dynasty, he completely lost his original independence.

Seeing Huang Yuan coming out to greet him in person, he jumped off his horse and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, I'm here to disturb you again."

Huang Yuan bowed and saluted and said: "The monarch comes here in person. Yuan is far away to welcome you. Please forgive me. Please come inside."

Saifuddin hired a scholar from Ming Dynasty to teach him Ming dialect three years ago. Although he speaks with a heavy accent, communication is no longer a problem.

In the reception room, Saifuddin said straight to the point: "Mr. Huang, your country has shipped a large amount of wood from Kochi and built a large number of trebuchets. Can I buy a batch of trebuchets?"

Huang Yuan couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Should the monarch have told His Majesty?"

"Yes, it was His Majesty who asked me to come to you."

Huang Yuan said with a smile: "Now that my Ming Dynasty is about to march north, the catapults will be too few, not too many. My Ming Dynasty is now in the army, and the monarch naturally doesn't have to worry about safety. When my Ming soldiers withdraw, Naturally, not all of these catapults will be shipped back."

Only then did Saifuddin understand, and said with a smile, "I see..."

In Daming, trebuchets had long been replaced by new types of artillery.Not only can the artillery hit farther than the trebuchet, but its lethality is not much less.

But in this place, because there is kerosene everywhere, the power of kerosene bombs is stronger than that of artillery, but the distance is slightly closer.
