He saw that the Royal Forest Army general next to him felt something was wrong, and he frowned and felt it. However, he did not look at the men who were sent to the island, but concentrated on identifying abnormalities.
Suddenly, he turned around and looked. Suddenly, his eyes widened with an incredible look on his face.
Behind them, countless Ming troops appeared at some point and were attacking their backs.
It turned out that he was a cavalry general and was sensitive to cavalry actions. However, the roar of cannons, bursts of gunfire, and cheers and shouts of death on the coastline were so noisy that they covered up the sound of the cavalry's hooves. Therefore, he did not react immediately.
At this time, he saw at least two thousand cavalry troops coming from behind. What was even more frightening was that there were tens of thousands of infantry troops charging behind the cavalry troops. He knew that everything was over!
So, like crazy, without even having time to speak, he stepped forward and grabbed Dalashiko's arm, and pulled him to run towards the war horse.
When had Dara Xiko been treated like this before, he was immediately furious. He didn't even care about the generals of the Imperial Forest Army he wanted to win over, and he immediately started to curse.
However, at this time, he had been pulled around and happened to see the scene behind him. Suddenly, he was so frightened that he lost his balance and was immediately bitten by a dog.
But this time, he didn't need anyone to help him. It was as if the ground was full of thorns. He jumped up on his own. He didn't need the general of the Imperial Forest Army to pull him up. He almost rolled and crawled towards the horse.
This abnormality of theirs immediately attracted the attention of the people around them. Soon, more and more people discovered that the Ming army was attacking them behind them. Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.
When did the Ming army appear behind them? Moreover, there are so many Ming troops, where did they come from?
"Kill..." the Ming army shouted in unison, with such power that they immediately became the most dazzling place in this land.
The British colonists were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. The moment Max saw the Ming army, he knew that this battle would be a complete defeat.
Therefore, he didn't care what the fighting would be like on the shore, and immediately ordered his fleet to retreat quickly and withdraw from the battlefield immediately.
The rumble of iron hoofs finally brought the stupid soldiers of the Mughal Empire back to their senses. No one thought of resisting. They immediately dispersed like birds and beasts. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs and ran away with all their lives.
The Mughal soldiers at sea, under the bombardment of the Ming army in Bombay, looked in front and behind, and suddenly became a mess.
Some rafts are still rowing forward as usual, but many rafts have turned around and rowed. At this time, if you attack the enemy, it will be too late to escape. In this way, if you block me, I will block you, and if you are in a hurry, more people will fall into the water.
As for the troops of the Mughal Empire who had already attacked the island, they were all desperate. Some of them continued to rush towards the Ming army in despair, and were then shot to the ground. Others, regardless of whether they could swim, threw away their weapons and rushed into the sea, trying to grab those The raft has left the shore.
Of course, more Mughal soldiers, seeing this desperate situation and knowing that any struggle was in vain, abandoned their helmets and armor, knelt down and surrendered in order to survive.
The red crowd, in the charge of the cavalry for their sharp knives, quickly crashed into the fleeing Mughal Empire army, like extremely sharp scissors, cutting the cloth of the Mughal Empire without any hindrance. open.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the soldiers of the Mughal Empire knelt down and surrendered. Only a few escaped quickly, such as their eldest prince Dara Shiko, who grabbed the war horse and fled westward along the coastline as hard as he could.
Among the charging Ming troops, the Ming soldiers who fell behind had no enemies to kill. They just ran to the coast and the battle was over.
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!" Everywhere along the coast, soldiers and soldiers of the Ming Army were shouting excitedly, raising their arms.
The sound of artillery had stopped. Most of the Ming army soldiers on the island were unaware of the situation. Seeing reinforcements suddenly appearing on the shore and achieving such a great victory, they couldn't help but be extremely excited. They responded to the shore and raised their arms and shouted. : "The Ming Dynasty is victorious!"
The Portuguese, including Phillips, watched the Ming army defeat their opponents so easily, and listened to their very morale-boosting roars. They couldn't help but roar along with them to vent their excitement.
Winning, winning so easily!
At this time, many Ming army warships were seen on the sea east of Bombay. When Li Dingguo saw it, he smiled and ordered his men to clean the warship, while he went to greet the governor.
Phillips, who was following him, still felt quite excited even after experiencing the catharsis of victory. Looking at Li Dingguo's back, he felt that Easterners are really good at fighting!
If we say that his approval when he heard Li Dingguo's plan was mostly polite. But at this time, with the facts before his eyes, he was naturally filled with admiration. At this time, he remembered what Li Dingguo said to him before.
In the past, there was a harbor east of Bombay, suitable for sending troops ashore. Li Dingguo's blow to Dalashiko was the surprise attack launched ashore from here. This matter was reported to Yan Yingyuan after the war.
So Yan Yingyuan followed the same example. When he led the army over, he sent the infantry ashore. When he heard the rumble of artillery in Bombay, he knew that the war had begun, and the attention of the Mughal Empire's army must be Also at sea. Thus, there was the scene of the great victory just now.
After the meeting, the two sides talked, and Phillips listened on the side. The actual situation was such that he was full of praise for the cooperation of Yan Yingyuan and Li Dingguo.
In this battle, the Ming army did not suffer much losses, but the invading Mughal Empire army was almost completely wiped out. It can be said that all the Ming and Portuguese coalition forces were very satisfied. If there is anyone who is dissatisfied, it is certainly Zheng Chenggong, the navy chief.
He was very sorry that the British fleet withdrew from the battlefield as soon as possible, otherwise, his navy would have been useful.
The results of the battle were quickly calculated, and it was found that there were approximately more than 6,000 enemy prisoners. In addition, the enemy's grain and supplies were all captured by the Ming army before they could be destroyed in time.
The seven islands in Bombay were not enough to accommodate the Ming army who came for reinforcements. After Yan Yingyuan checked the terrain, he decided to build fortifications on land. With the sea as his back, he could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.
The top brass of the Ming army understood that the Mughal Empire would definitely not be willing to fail and would definitely make a comeback. Moreover, after the strength of the Ming army was exposed, if the enemy were to come, they would definitely attack with a large army. Soon there will definitely be another battle here.
Therefore, the Ming army ordered the prisoners to work harder and build fortifications as soon as possible. The captured rafts were also used as pontoons. If the number was not enough, they would continue to be built. If the shore could not be defended in the end, there would be a pontoon bridge to retreat, and the speed would be very fast.
……………………
While Yan Yingyuan was stepping up preparations for war, in Lhasa, Tibet, Gushi Khan was worshiping Buddha devoutly. There were hurried footsteps outside the hall. However, he stopped at the door of the hall and did not dare to make any more noise to disturb Gushi Khan. here.
After a long time, Gushi Khan finished paying homage to the Buddha and slowly walked out of the palace door. He found his son Dalantai waiting there with a look of surprise on his face. So, he asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
"Huifu Khan, the Ming Emperor's envoy has arrived!" Dalantai replied immediately and respectfully.
When Gushihan heard this, his calm face showed an expression of surprise. You know, Gushi Khan has gone through countless ups and downs and worshiped Buddha devoutly. It can be said that his mentality is already very good. There are very few people who can make him show a surprised expression, and Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty must be the most likely one.
During his long trip to the capital, he had dealt with Emperor Chongzhen, and it could be said that he was very surprised. No matter in every aspect, he had a feeling that Emperor Chongzhen was definitely not what he should be in this world!
Because Emperor Chongzhen's ability has exceeded his knowledge. Whether it was his ability to lead troops in battle or his profound knowledge, etc., he was really shocked.
Shortly after returning to Tibet, he heard that Emperor Chongzhen personally led the army to quell the Jungar rebellion. Regarding Emperor Chongzhen's kindness to the Oirat tribe, he was willing to let go of the Jungar tribe for the safety of the herdsmen held hostage by the Jungar tribe in the Oirat tribe, which moved Gushi Khan very much. Such a Han emperor is really unheard of!
Therefore, at this time, when he heard that Emperor Chongzhen's envoy had arrived, he immediately quickened his pace and hurried to greet him. This surprised Dalantai who was following him. He didn't expect that his father, who was always calm, would be so anxious.
Gushi Khan also had some guesses about the purpose of Emperor Chongzhen's envoy. After receiving the order, as expected, he guessed it.
Without any excuse, Gushi Khan ordered his son Dalantai to immediately lead troops to attack the Mughal Empire in front of the Ming envoy. All actions are subject to the arrangements of the Ming envoy.
Many years ago, Emperor Chongzhen asked him to prepare an elite force at the border of the Mughal Empire. Unexpectedly, this day it would finally be used.
Did the Mughal Empire ever think that the Ming Emperor would have foresight to lay out this chess piece a few years ago? If they knew, would they still take the initiative to attack Dong Wu and provoke Daming?
The strength of the Ming army was well known even in Tibet, especially the war on the Tianshan Mountains, which made people here have a very favorable impression of the Ming Dynasty. Dalantai now had the opportunity to fight side by side with the Ming army. To be honest, he was very excited. He immediately rushed to the border with the Ming envoy to take over the army that had been prepared, and then launched an attack on the Mughal Empire.
Even as they set off, Dara Shikoh had fled back to Delhi.
