Chapter 372: Surprise attack?
.........
Half a month later, Ning Quan's two armies arrived at the city of Delhi.
At this time in Delhi, the city gates were closed, and the soldiers on the city walls were worried and demoralized. They did not dare to go out of the city to fight, and could only hide inside the city and tremble.
The eldest prince was even more worried because he was left behind to die.
The emperor had never liked him, and after he led his army to a disastrous defeat, he disliked him even more, so he sent him to guard Delhi.
Looking at the dense and countless Daqian army in the distance, the eldest prince's heart sank.
After the two armies of Ning Quan arrived, they launched a fierce attack early the next morning without any further ado.
The defenders of Delhi were basically new recruits with no combat experience at all, and the city was almost breached on the first day of the attack.
Seeing this, Ning Quan used mortars without saying a word the next day to blow down the walls of Delhi and enter the city.
By evening, Delhi had fallen.
The eldest prince and 300,000 defenders surrendered.
Delhi, the thousand-year-old capital of the Mughal Empire, fell into the hands of Daqian.
When the news reached Hyderabad, His Majesty the Mughal Emperor was almost devastated.
He originally thought that relying on Delhi's strong city defense, he could at least withstand Daqian's attack for a while. As a result, Delhi was lost in two days.
This was a huge blow.
What made him even more terrified was that Hyderabad was not necessarily safe now.
Because another Daqian army was heading towards Hyderabad,
This army was none other than the Daqian army that had landed in Mumbai earlier.
At this time, the army was less than two hundred miles away from Hyderabad city.
Although this army is small in number, it only has 30,000 people.
But the total number of defenders in Hyderabad was only 30,000.
Although the defenses of Hyderabad were strong, the Daqian army was much more powerful than the Mughal army.
Therefore, His Majesty the Mughal Emperor was worried.
Two hundred miles northwest of Hyderabad.
Gao Xiang was leading the army to march quickly.
Since Gao Xiang took over the Mumbai war, he immediately organized troops to attack from all sides, specifically targeting the weak points of the Mughal army.
In just one month, Gao Xiang had destroyed nearly fifty Mughal counties, greatly disrupting the transportation of grain in the south of the Mughal Empire.
The Mughal Empire then sent the fourth prince to lead the army to attack
As a result, he was killed by Gao Xiang, the army under the Fourth Prince was defeated, and the Fourth Prince was captured.
At this time, Gao Xiang learned that the Mughal emperor had moved the capital to Hyderabad.
Gao Xiang felt that this was definitely an opportunity. If the city of Hyderabad was captured, the Mughal Empire would be completely finished.
Therefore, Gao Xiang immediately led his troops to attack Hyderabad.
At the same time, Gao Xiang also reported the news to Ning Quan and asked Ning Quan to send reinforcements as soon as possible to help him capture Hyderabad.
……
In Delhi City, Ning Quan was also overjoyed after receiving Gao Xiang's report.
Unexpectedly, Gao Xiang was so fast, it was completely unexpected.
Since Gao Xiang has taken action, Ning Quan must follow suit.
Ning Quan then ordered the mobilization of 100,000 cavalry and rushed to Hyderabad.
At the same time, Ning Quan set off first.
That evening, Ning Quan and Gao Xiang met up.
"I will see your Majesty at last."
Gao Xiang knelt down quickly.
"No gift!"
"You did an excellent job this time, and I am very pleased."
Ning Quan helped Gao Xiang up and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kind words." Gao Xiang said modestly.
"Haha, you're welcome!"
"How about it? Are you sure you can take over Raba in Hai?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak rashly. I can only say that I will do my best. After all, the defense of Hyderabad is strong. Although the garrison is small, they are all imperial guards and their combat effectiveness is not weak."
"Yes! I understand."
"What if I can open the city gate for you?" Ning Quan suddenly asked.
"Ah? Your Majesty, what did you say?"
"I said, I will open the city gate for you." Ning Quan said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it would be great if the city gates could be opened. I guarantee that Hyderabad will be taken in one fell swoop."
"But what does Your Majesty intend to do?"
When Gao Xiang heard this, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, I have my own way." Ning Quan said confidently.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
At night, the city of Hyderabad was silent.
The city walls were filled with densely packed defenders.
Outside the city is the Daqian military camp.
After three days of forced march, the Daqian army arrived in the afternoon and set up camp.
The defenders in the city are also prepared to deal with emergencies.
"Your Majesty, how are you going to open the city gates? Are you going to bombard them with artillery fire?"
Gao Xiang asked in the camp.
"No." Ning Quan shook his head.
"Then..." Gao Xiang was a little confused.
"You'll know the details later, so get ready now."
"When you see the main gate open, launch an attack immediately." Ning Quan ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Gao Xiang accepted the order.
Everything was ready. Ning Quan took out the three-wheeled motorcycle from the space, sat on it, and immediately took off into the air.
In less than a few minutes, Ning Quan drove a three-wheeled motorcycle into Hyderabad city.
Ning Quan found a safe place near the main gate and slowly landed.
This is the backyard of a mansion, less than 300 meters away from the city gate.
At this time, the entire backyard was empty.
Ning Quan looked around and then waved.
In an instant, a thousand fully armed soldiers appeared around him.
These are system soldiers. We had kept 4,000 of them but they were useless.
Now is the time to use them.
Ning Quan planned to directly seize the city gate and occupy Hyderabad as quickly as possible.
"charge!"
Following Ning Quan's order.
Suddenly, a thousand fully armed soldiers rushed towards the city gate.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
As soon as the soldiers appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the guards, who started shouting.
But the distance of three hundred meters was reached in the blink of an eye.
The defenders fell in a pool of blood before they had time to resist, and Ning Quan easily captured the city gate.
Afterwards, Ning Quan ordered the soldiers to open the city gates and raise fire as a signal.
Outside the city, Gao Xiang was already getting impatient.
Seeing that the city gate was indeed open, Gao Xiang immediately led his army towards the city gate without saying a word.
At the city gate, although the defenders quickly organized their forces to launch a counterattack, they were blocked by a thousand soldiers.
No matter how hard the defenders tried, they could hardly advance even a single step.
Gao Xiang led his army into the city so easily.
And after that, there was a fierce fight.
The battle between the two sides was extremely brutal.
But the final winner was still the Daqian army.
Under the personal supervision of Ning Quan and Gao Xiang, the Daqian soldiers swept through the city like a hot knife through butter.
It took only half a day to capture the city and capture the Mughal emperor, royal family members and ministers.
