Chapter 1385 The Furious Mughal Emperor
Chapter 1385 The Furious Mughal Emperor
The siege of the Calcutta bastion by the Maharajah army of Bengal lasted for two months, and there were heavy casualties in front of this bastion relying on the river.
The Tubang army used siege equipment, dug tunnels, artillery bombardment and other methods to launch a strong attack on it. However, in the past two months, they have not made any progress except for leaving more than 4000 corpses!
The design of the bastion with almost no dead ends allows the Tubang army to be attacked from the front and back. Although the bronze artillery with six wheels they use looks scary, it is more of a bluffing backward thing. The low and thick bastion Walls cannot deal devastating damage.There is also a buffer wall in front of the bastion, so that the artillery of the Tubang army cannot hit the real city wall due to the shooting angle at a long distance, and once it gets close, it will be hit by the artillery on the bastion.
The Tubang army, which lacked systematic operations, was massacred by the artillery and muskets on the bastion as they approached the bastion even when digging trenches.
Even if they approached the bastion by digging trenches, they may not be able to produce enough explosives to blow up the bastion.
The second prince Shashujia's angry jumping feet did not help. Maintaining food for 40000 troops put a huge burden on the local villages and towns. Many villagers and even the feudal lords complained.
"Your Highness, since the start of the war, we have lost more than 6000 troops. We can no longer afford such a loss."
The Bengal princes complained bitterly when the second prince urged them to attack the bastion again, and no one wanted to continue to launch a strong attack.
During the two-month siege, they were unable to cut off the food for the bastion, and the casualties of the defenders in the bastion were not large, but they lost one-seventh of their troops.
One out of seven people died in battle!In the classical army, such a casualty ratio can already shake the morale of the army, and the army has no fighting spirit from top to bottom.
"Kasim, how many people do you have?" Shashuja once again looked at the Governor of Bangladesh, Kasim.
Kasim's face was pale. Thinking of being dominated by the defenders in the bastion during the fortified battle, he couldn't help but trembled: "Your Highness, of the 10000 troops brought by your subordinates, there are now less than 7000 left."
The other princes cast sympathetic eyes one after another. In order to cater to the second prince's order, the losses of his subordinates accounted for more than half of the total losses of the entire Tubang army.In the future, the prestige of the governor is expected to decline in the Bengal province, while other princes will have more say. It is hard to say whether he can firmly manage the domineering princes and feudal cavalry in Bengal.
"Lead the army to attack again. If you still can't conquer the opponent's bastion after ten days, then this is God's will. We will temporarily retreat to various places." Shashuja said the conditions with difficulty.
"Of order." The governor of Bangladesh promised, but in fact he scolded the second prince for 3000 generations in his heart. Why should he, the governor, go up to deliver the head?His troops sacrificed more than [-] people!
In the Mughal Empire, where strength was paramount, there was no army in his hands. As the governor of the Bengal province, how could he control the princes and nobles in the province?
At that time, the Mughal Emperor might blame him for the rebellion in Bengal.
The governor of Bangladesh didn't take the ten-day deadline given by Shashuja seriously. He just led the army to launch a symbolic attack with a lot of thunder and rain, and the loss within ten days was less than 100.
Shashuja was supervising the battle when Kasim was attacking. He saw that Kasim was perfunctory to him, but now the Bangladeshi army is generally filled with negative sentiments, and it is not easy for him to blame Kasim. , any prince in a position like Kasim does not want to waste his troops in vain.
The reason why the Tubang army wants to raise 40000 people, at least half of them are farmers and slaves with little combat effectiveness, is to appear large and to strengthen their momentum.
However, the Tubang army, which has lost 6000 people, is declining and exhausted in front of the bastion. They have lost their fighting spirit...
"Retreat!" Although he was very unwilling, Shashuja could no longer drive the governor and princes to attack the city. The elite cavalry he brought from the capital of the empire was unwilling to engage in a fierce siege, so he had to issue an order to retreat. .
The remaining 34000 troops retreated slowly under the cover of heavy cavalry, leaving behind a messy camp.
"As early as ten days ago, their siege became weak, and I knew they would withdraw their troops soon. As expected, they lost their courage. If there was a dragoon, I would definitely lead my troops to pursue them." Qin Zuoming saw the prince of Bengal. It is regrettable that the army retreated.
"We will continue to collect food and recruit more mercenaries while they are away... This siege is just the beginning. If they are not completely subdued, the East India Company will not be able to trade here." Chen Bangyan worried.
Now that the Nanyang Fleet has cleaned up the coast of South Asia, the family dominates, and the Calcutta fortress has clashed head-on with the Bengal province and the second prince of the Mughal Empire, severely hitting the face of the Mughal Empire. The Mughal Empire will definitely not Let it go.
If the emperor of the Mughal Empire ordered the target, the East India Company would not be able to contact Indian merchants, and would not be able to trade raw materials and finished products.
"What you said is very reasonable. Maybe their emperor is furious at this time and wants to form an army to attack us. I don't know if it will affect our factory in Surat. If I knew it, let them escape Surat first. We’ll go back when we manage to bring the Mughal Empire to its knees.” The directors of the East India Company shared the same concern.
The East India Company and the Mughal Empire are tearing their faces apart. They don't care about this loss, and they are temporarily fighting against each other for greater profit space in the future!
Their worries were also correct. The siege of the Calcutta Fort by the Bengal princes' army lasted for more than 2 months, and ended with more than 6000 casualties in the prince's army. This incident shocked the flourishing Mughal Empire at this time!
In Agra, the capital of the Mughal Empire, Shah Jahan, the emperor of the Mughal Empire on the Peacock Throne, was extremely furious when he heard the officials report the fiasco of the Calcutta siege!
At this time, the Mughal Empire defeated the Persians in the northwest and destroyed several small countries in the Deccan Plateau. It was just like the sky, but the siege of Calcutta woke him up from his dream of unifying the South Asian continent and competing in Central Asia. furious.
"Take back the privileges given to the British East India Company, expel all the Chinese, British, Portuguese, Dutch, etc. on the territory of the empire, and let them go back wherever they came from! Let Aurangzeb lead his troops to surround Surat, I will personally lead an expedition to Bengal!" Shah Jahan was furious and ordered to drive away all the flies that came from the sea.
