When he thought of the consequences of Shah Jahan's escape, Odom no longer cared about whether it stunk or not, and hurriedly ran over to take a look.
Just when he ran to the door, he saw Shah Jahan leaning against the wall in the room, his head hanging motionless. The blood flowing from his hands had flowed all over the ground and had solidified.
The most eye-catching thing is that on the wall against Shah Jahan, there are large bloody characters written all over it. Obviously, it was written by Shah Jahan with his own blood: "Killing the king and killing the father will not lead to a good death!"
After seeing the situation clearly, Odom relaxed a little. It's good that he didn't run away.
But after he came to his senses, he became furious again and yelled at the guards angrily, why didn't he take good care of it? Even if Shah Jahan is going to die, it should be arranged and decided by him!
He was furious when suddenly he heard the sound of commotion and the sound of horse hooves. Then, someone shouted in panic: "The Ming army has entered the city, the Ming army has entered the city..."
Upon hearing this, Odom was shocked. How could the Ming army invade so quickly?
He ran a few steps quickly and found a place with a clear view to see the situation. Sure enough, in the distance, a group of Ming cavalry was seen charging in, and they were charging towards this side.
Suddenly, as if he had been stabbed by a needle in the butt, Odom jumped up and ran away in a hurry. At the same time, he ordered his men to burn the building.
He didn't dare to stay here and watch anymore. If he ran too slow and was blocked by the Ming army in the city, he would definitely be doomed, because he was the type to be liquidated.
There was one thing Odom didn't expect. He fled in panic, and of course the guards were also panicked. They were also afraid of being blocked by the Ming army. Hearing the rumble of horses' hooves heading towards them, these guards wanted to escape quickly.
As a result, when it came to the task of burning the building, you pushed me and I pushed you, but in the end they broke up because the Ming cavalry was approaching.
It is strange to say that there are many Mughal cavalry in this Ming cavalry army. They are very familiar with this area. After attacking this area, they did not continue to fight forward, but immediately blocked it. This area was then searched.
When the guards were escaping, the Ming Army cavalry saw them. Therefore, the Ming Army quickly followed the traces to the building, searched it up to the second floor, and then saw the scene in the room.
The Ming army general leading this cavalry army was the new deputy general Li Laiheng. After hearing the news and going upstairs, I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw this scene. I quickly confirmed: "Is this person Shah Jahan?"
Yes, he was ordered by Emperor Chongzhen to rush here to find Shah Jahan.
A Mughal soldier next to him heard what he said and quickly reported: "I have seen him twice before, and it is indeed him. Also, the words above are regicide and regicide." Damn it! You can’t go wrong for sure!”
Hearing this, Li Laiheng looked at the room full of piles of feces and urine. Looking at Shah Jahan's accusations, he couldn't help but scold the vicious Aurangzeb. This was really unbearable.
In fact, in the original history, Aurangzeb gained a reputation as cruel and suspicious after he won the throne of emperor and killed his brothers and forced Shah Jahan into a series of events.
"Watch this place, don't move anything!" Li Laiheng gave the military order, and then led most of the army to continue attacking other places in the city.
……………………
In about an hour or so, Delhi fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty again. The reason why it was so fast was because the Mughal army had no desire to fight to the death.
After Emperor Chongzhen received Li Laiheng's report, he arranged for Mughal soldiers to take turns to watch the fate of Shah Jahan. Later, even the local soldiers of the Ming Dynasty went to see it.
By doing this, everyone will understand clearly that Aurangzeb must die and the Mughal Empire must be destroyed.
Even if the Mughal royal family had a "glorious" tradition, such things as regicide and patricide were condemned by everyone. What's more, without Shah Jahan's identity as the Great Khan, he was just a father. Who could stand to be treated like this by his son?
During the period when Emperor Chongzhen subsequently ordered a rest in Delhi, the morale of the army obviously improved to a higher level, offsetting the decline in morale caused by the exhaustion of continuous marching operations. It even brought about an unexpected change, that is, there was a lot of movement in the army to call for battle and pursue the enemy. Among the soldiers who asked for battle, both those from the Ming Dynasty and those from the Mughals were almost the same, and the proportions of their numbers were basically the same.
It can be seen from this that Aurangzeb's atrocities have aroused public outrage among mankind!
Although Aurangzeb did not expect this, he actually didn't care at this time.
After all, for him, the most important thing at this time was to defeat the Ming army and reorganize the Mughal Empire. It would be best to provoke the Ming army to pursue them. As for reputation, as long as he controls the Mughal Empire, who will dare to make irresponsible remarks about the so-called success or failure of the king?
However, what surprised him was that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not take advantage of the opportunity of victory to pursue him fiercely.
Aurangzeb was puzzled: Did the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty not want to destroy himself, but wanted to give himself a chance to breathe, reorganize his army, and fight again? Logically speaking, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not a man who knew how to fight. He shouldn't make such a mistake, right? The best countermeasure is to eliminate yourself in one go, so that the Ming army will be at ease, right?
Under normal circumstances, Aurangzeb would be happiest if he had the opportunity to regroup his troops and fight again. However, the key thing is that he now wants to lead the Ming army to the preset ambush point and kill the Ming army together with Abbas II! If the Ming army doesn't pursue them, and they are almost there, is it possible that all their previous efforts will be wasted?
He was just one step away, but he ended up stuck here. Thinking about how much effort he had put in and how many troops he had lost in order to lure the Ming army to march westward, the result was that the Ming army stopped pursuing them at the last stretch and hid in Delhi. If you keep still, are you trying to piss people off?
Fortunately, Aurangzeb was young, strong, and in good health. In addition, this situation was not sudden, but a process of mental preparation. Otherwise, he might have been so angry that he vomited blood.
Sometimes, he didn't expect that the Ming emperor knew that he and Abbas II were uniting to ambush the Ming army.
But if this is really the case, the Ming Emperor definitely doesn't know where to ambush, because only a few people know the ambush point. It is absolutely impossible for these people to tell the Ming Emperor, and they don't have the chance.
Then, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not have been pursuing him fiercely. He would definitely have some scruples. There was no reason for him to suddenly stop after arriving in Delhi! Aurangzeb really couldn’t figure it out!
……………………
Abbas II also received a report from Tan Ma that Aurangzeb's army had appeared west of Delhi. According to the plan, they were almost led to the ambush location. Abbas II was already waiting anxiously. After all, he was thinking about the eager wolf of the Ottoman Empire, so he immediately entered an ambush state, waiting for Aurangzeb to lure the Ming army over.
As a result, he also waited on the left and did not wait for Aurangzeb to advance westward; while waiting on the right, he still did not wait for Aurangzeb to advance westward. OK?
Abbas II was a little confused, so he sent someone to ask Aurangzeb about the situation. After getting the reply, he suddenly became a little stupid. Was there something wrong with the Ming emperor's mind? Why not take advantage of the opportunity of a great victory to destroy Aurangzeb in one go? Why should we keep him alive so that he can grow stronger and counterattack again?
I really can’t understand it! Abbas II could not understand the Ming Emperor. Although he had also thought about whether the opportunity between him and Aurangzeb would be known to the Ming Emperor?
However, no matter how he thought, this was not possible. Judging from the information reported by Aurangzeb, there is no sign to prove this. So what's going on?
If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not come, would he lead the army back? Or should we work with Aurangzeb to think of a way and take this opportunity to deal with the mad emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
To be honest, Abbas II was a little hesitant.
His reaction was somewhat guessed by Aurangzeb. The situation has developed to this point, and Aurangzeb definitely does not want Abbas II to turn around and go back. With his current strength, he may not be a match for the Ming army.
When he was thinking about what to do, he suddenly received a message from Tan Ma, explaining that the emperor seemed to be acclimatized or something, and was ill.
Upon hearing this news, Aurangzeb suddenly realized. No wonder, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was obviously a good fighter, how could he not know the principle of destroying his opponent in one go? It turned out that he was sick and could not pursue him!
As soon as his eyes rolled, Aurangzeb had an idea. He immediately sent Odom to see Abbas II, inform him of the illness of the Ming Emperor, and asked the two armies to besiege Delhi and capture the Ming Emperor's troops. Annihilation in Delhi!
Aurangzeb also asked Odom to emphasize that this was a God-given opportunity that would prevent the Ming emperor from escaping and solve the Ming threat once and for all.
Abbas II still agreed with this. The main reason why he finally chose to cooperate with Aurangzeb was because he was afraid of the madman-like Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It would be the best if we could deal with the Ming Emperor.
It is foreseeable that as long as the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom dies here, there will be civil strife in the Ming Kingdom. It will be difficult to say whether the new emperor who succeeds will still have this ability and whether he will have the courage to go on an expedition. From this perspective, it really means that there will be a battle.
As long as they solve this problem and lead the army back, the Safi Dynasty will open up so many territories and acquire many prosperous areas, and its national power will surely flourish. In the days to come, it will definitely be the overlord of the Middle East!
Thinking of these, Abbas II finally decided to agree to Aurangzeb's proposal, lead the army eastward, join forces with Aurangzeb's troops, and attack Delhi.
In early November of the 26th year of Chongzhen, the coalition forces of the Persian Empire and the Mughal Empire, totaling about 250,000 troops, besieged Delhi, which was occupied by about 100,000 Ming troops.
The decisive battle that determines who will dominate the South Asian subcontinent has begun.
