The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

The situation is developing towards the bad side. The enemy riders outside the city did not leave, cruising around the city, obviously in a bad mood.

　　 After a day, the enemy came for reinforcements and thousands of cavalry arrived.

　　 Three days later, the Mumbai defenders became desperate, and the opposing infantry arrived!

　　 This infantry unit is not many. They built barracks, built a long siege around Mumbai, and cleared obstructions outside the city.

　　 The nature of the matter has changed. The other party does not want to take a grab and leave, but wants to capture Mumbai!

　　 There is no navy in the city of Mumbai. There are ships escaping and sending information, but it is not an overnight task to assemble a large army to help. It is very likely that when the reinforcements arrive, the city of Mumbai has already been lost.

　　 One week later, the army gathered from outside the city and surrounded the city of Mumbai.

Under the golden bun representing the Mughal Emperor’s visit, a majestic and majestic old general with white beard and hair and golden armor is riding a greasy, extremely glorious dark horse. He is Imad. Ahmed, the veteran of the army, is also the person most feared by the rebellious tribe army.

　　 This veteran is no small thing. He is a Turkic warrior from Central Asia. The generals of his generation will not die or be deposed. Only he survives and has made contributions on the battlefield in Afghanistan.

　　Afghanistan is an "imperial cemetery", which has revealed its clues since ancient times. The Arab Empire did not take down Afghanistan, and the Tang Empire also stopped in Afghanistan.

To a certain extent, the Mughal Empire that killed Afghanistan was also sadly trapped in a cemetery. They simply couldn't figure out the tribes there. They had been with the Mughal Empire from generation to generation, the emperor of the Mughal Empire. One after another with the tribal liver, they want to conquer them, but there is no prospect of victory.

　　 Or some people say that Afghanistan is certainly a "cemetery", but it is also a "magnet", attracting those empires to join in it, and one after another? !

　　The nature of the empire is to expand. For the Mughal Empire, they found Persia to the north. If Persia is dealt with, it will be bordered by the Ottoman Empire, a brotherly country on the west.

　　Brothers are united, it is profitable to cut money? !

　　It's just a good wish. No matter how stupid the Mughal Emperor is, he knows that now there is Persia, the Ottoman Empire is a brother. If there is no Persia, the Ottoman Empire will show their true colors, marching to the Mughal Empire and annexing the Mughal Empire!

　　 To the east, there is a wealthy eastern country. Unfortunately, the insurmountable Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is like a faithful guard, firmly defending the peace of the Pearl of the Orient.

The land south of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is full of virgin forests and rivers. Don’t expect any army to conquer that area. The people there don’t even have to fight the conquerors. It will take a year or a half. If the conquerors don’t have enough All of the countermeasures are dead!

　　 People will encounter malaria, dysentery, jaundice, and bush wasting disease, or according to the general saying-strange disease, you can't find the cause of the disease, anyway, it kills every minute.

　　 Hey, why are the Chinese able to navigate Southeast Asia in the same environment? They are lucky. It is the people from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian who have adapted to the environment there. If the people from the north of the mainland come directly to the south, they will have no return!

　　When the environment in Southeast Asia improves, the northerners will come to the liver, and they will not die without disease.

　　 Similarly, the Chinese spread along the line of the Indian Ocean. The pioneer troops sent out were also the soldiers of Guangdong and Guangxi, the soldiers of Fujian, and some of the soldiers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Compared with people in other provinces, they were uniquely adaptable.

　　 The expansion of the Mughal Empire, to the south, those three brothers who are good at kneeling and singing conquest will not resist, but the Mughal Empire only leads the Indian subcontinent from a distance and does not take care of it.

　　 Occupying the big cesspit of hundreds of millions of people, it tastes sour and refreshing.

　　 It's a long way. It is against this background that the well-known general who can fight in Afghanistan is really a first-class commander!

Imad Ahmed commanded Ruo Ding and conquered the empire. He was the mainstay of the Mughal Empire. He wanted to suppress many disobedient tribes on the battlefield in Afghanistan. It can only maintain an invincible and undefeated situation. Sadly, once this veteran leaves his position, the Mughal Empire does not know who can top it.

The Chinese occupied some territories in southern India. In this regard, the Mughal Empire did not feel much offense, because the Chinese proposed the "right of inheritance", that is, to inherit the territory of the previously defeated Hong Maofan, and the Mughal Empire even Hong Maofan. I didn't want to mess with them, so I ignored them.

　　 Don't mess with red hair fans?

　　 The red hair comes from the sea, and when he can beat you, you can't beat him. The victory is slim, and there is no way to laugh. Why do you provoke them? !

　　 But some things cannot be ignored. The Ottoman Empire was attacked by the Chinese and the Holy Land was taken!

　　 The Ottoman Empire sent envoys to Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, and Yan Xie said the monarchs there: "You let the land of God be seized, are you still the people of God?"

　　 These words are too serious. In order to punish those Eastern pagans who dared to offend Tianwei, the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan sent Imad Ahmed to attack Mumbai.

　　 Shah Jahan has a level of knowledge. He increased Imad Ahmed's prestige and allowed him to fight half the emperor's honour!

Imad Ahmed lived up to expectations. He deserves to be a famous general. He is very experienced and veteran. He must first gather the army and attack the Afghan region, so that everyone can take it as true. The southeast country is located in the Delhi area. The spies failed to sound the alarm in time, and when they were found to be wrong, the road to Mumbai had been cut off and the news could not be delivered.

　　 Then he sent Mutu Kalim’s elite cavalry to attack the city of Mumbai. After taking advantage of the opportunity, the army was very fast, and a hundred thousand troops arrived at the city of Mumbai within a week.

This hand alone is beyond the reach of most generals. You must know that the battles in ancient times were troublesome, and logistics supplies were not easy to get, and those military leaders were even more troublesome, but under the command of Imad Ahmed, everything was impossible. problem.

　　 The military leaders surrounded Imad Ahmed, and their previous victories made them full of confidence in him.

　　 Generally, the Mughal army consists of four main parts: light infantry + war elephant + artillery + cavalry.

Among the various services, the Mughal Empire’s cavalry occupies a dominant position. The Shiyi Cavalry, the Fengyi Cavalry and the Imperial Forest Cavalry constitute the Cavalry of the Mughal Army. The first two are the troops provided by the local area, namely the tribal army, and the latter is used Elite fighters supported by the treasury. Most of them originated from Central Asian Turkic warriors and constituted the main force of the Royal Mughal cavalry. Imad Ahmed is the leader of Central Asian Turkic warriors.

He brought 15,000 cavalrymen of the Imperial Forest Army, of which 5,000 were heavy cavalry and 10,000 were light cavalry. Under his guidance, it was not a silver-like wax spearhead but a steel spearhead. Invincible, so the ambitious tribal leader Mutu Kalim can only hold back his ambitions and dare not listen to him.

　　 musket artillery is in the ascendant. Since European firearms were introduced to India at the end of the 15th century, the large-caliber long-tube front boring cannon played an increasingly important role in the Indian battlefield. But artillery is so expensive. It requires a lot of copper and iron to make the barrel. In order to transport it to the battlefield, it also needs a gun mount and sufficient pack animals. In the end, it needs to be equipped with gunpowder and skill for the artillery to be fired and play its role. gunner.

　　The only empire capable of setting up a large military factory to make cannons ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and providing other accessories and personnel for the cannons is the royal family. The Mughal emperor set up a special organization to manage the production and transportation of cannons.

　　 Musketeers were recruited from settled residents in towns and villages. Light infantry who use Turkish-style heavy matchlocks and Portuguese-style regular matchlocks are generally considered effective, and they can provide more powerful firepower than archers.

The effectiveness of the Mughal elephants and the war elephants is quite controversial. The supporters who believe that the war elephants are effective pointed out that the war elephants have the advantages of strong destructive ability and strong deterrence ability. The opponents who hold negative opinions think that the war elephants are not. Function, pointed out that the war elephant has the disadvantages of high maintenance cost, easy to be frightened and trampled on friendly forces to cause confusion.

In any case, the Mughals who had powerful cavalry and defeated the elephants still insisted on developing their own elephant troops. During the heyday of the Mughal empire, the royal family kept more than 1,000 royal elephants, which were used in peacetime. Large-scale performances, transportation of heavy objects, etc., were put on the battlefield during wartime.

　　 A large army besieged the city, but the elephant army with 300 heads and hundreds of heavy artillery are still on the way to Mumbai. Imad Ahmed sent his confidant to urge them to come quickly.

　　 As for light infantry?

　　 are all over the place, the three brothers who grow vigorously like weeds are not the best light infantry, the best cannon fodder?

　　Imad Ahmed ordered the generals to collect the third brother as soon as possible. The more the better, they are ready to use their blood to open the door of heaven and hall!

　　 Three brothers rush forward!
