Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 561 The Battle of the Mughal Version of Pine Brocade (Please subscribe!)
Kangxi's eight-banner column looked very neat. Thousands of arquebus soldiers formed dozens of small horizontal teams, and then formed a large column.

All the soldiers wore uniforms of yellow, white, red, blue and other colors, carried luggage, and carried matchlock guns with bayonets on them.

The elite eight-banner line infantry formed a tight team shoulder to shoulder, accompanied by the sound of drums with a strong rhythm, so as to move forward at a walking speed.

The Eight Banners kept pace with the times, imitating Ming Dynasty, and began to use military musicians to command troops.

Looking at the infantry in the Eight Banners line, Aurangzeb began to understand why Aamir Khan suffered a disastrous defeat.

However, Amir Khan was not facing the most elite Eight Banners line infantry at all, but the Junggar musketeers!

Aamir Khan, who followed Aurangzeb to observe the enemy's situation, had cold sweat on his forehead. This group of troops was obviously stronger than the one he encountered at the time, and the rhythm of the Mughal pills.

Aamir Khan thought about the Indian soldiers in his hands. Apart from acrobatics, it seemed that they were not particularly good at it.

He glanced at Aurangzeb, who was still observing the enemy's situation with a Western telescope, and wondered if he should put oil on his feet and run to the south of Tianzhu.

Aurangzeb, who didn't know that his subordinates had already withdrawn, was observing the enemy's cavalry.

Between the infantry columns, there are also a large number of horse-drawn cannons, cavalry wearing cloth face armor or chain mail, and a large number of vehicles loaded with various supplies, rumbling together.

Around the marching team, there are still many scattered light cavalry, while guarding, while moving forward slowly.

The number of cavalry is astonishing, and Aurangzeb can't count them. If these cavalry are on the Ganges plain, they will be absolutely difficult to stop.

But what's interesting is that the direction of Kangxi's army was not Lahore City, but passed through the northwest and north of Lahore City, and then turned to the southeast.

It seems that they are going to bypass the city of Lahore and march directly towards Delhi!
When the Kangxi army advanced in an orderly manner, the scene was so spectacular that the upper Mughals standing on the tower of the Lahore Fort watching were a little nervous and breathless.

Those Mughal nobles who followed the Aurangzeb tyrant to guard the country also began to panic.

Because the number of Kangxi's army was so large that they were surprised. The marching team pulled out a brigade for forty or fifty miles northwest and north of Lahore, and flags of various colors were billowing in the wind.

According to a rough estimate, the strength of this group of elite troops may have exceeded [-]!

These are all the most elite Junggar Eight Banners, Man Eight Banners, and Han Eight Banners, pure lineage troops, not those miscellaneous troops.

In addition to the [-] elite troops advancing, there are two huge camps under construction on both sides of the Ravi River, and the two camps are also connected by pontoon bridges.
Countless infantry were busy there, and large groups of cavalry stood guard outside the two camps.

However, the costumes of these infantrymen and the cavalry guarding around the camp were quite different from those of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers who were marching in.

Most of these soldiers wore all kinds of gaudy turbans, and they were not as serious and solemn as the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers. They also used a variety of weapons. At a glance, they could be identified as rabble from Tianzhu, Afghanistan, Kazakhs, Khiva, and Bukhara.

However, the number of these mobs is also quite large, a large area of ​​chaos, more than the number of regular Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, at least 15 people by visual estimation.

Some of these miscellaneous troops are also driving along the Ravi River from the upstream direction!

"Shameless betrayal!"

Even if the Indian soldiers, Sikhs, and Afghans were burned to ashes, Aurangzeb knew them all. Aurangzeb, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and let out a roar.

The biggest headache belongs to the Sikhs.

The characteristics of the Sikhs are particularly obvious. They will wrap very large and tall headscarves.

Why Aurangzeb is angry is that the Punjab region where Lahore is located is the stronghold of Sikhs.

There are many Sikhs living in the local area, all of whom are aggressive and rebellious from time to time under the planning of their ancestors.

Now that even the Sikhs have followed Kangxi, Lahore is a bit dangerous!

Moreover, this group of people also worked very hard to get many ships, helped Kangxi's army transport a large amount of food, and helped build two or three pontoon bridges across the Ravi River.

Aurangzeb had never seen such a loyal and capable Sikh.

In addition, these traitors from Tianzhu seem to be preparing to take on the task of guarding Lahore, so that Kangxi Khan can lead his Eight Banners army to capture Delhi and even Agra.

Kangxi is such a thief!
Aurangzeb has been fooled!

Aurangzeb imagined that there must be Sikhs and Indian lords along the way to lead Kangxi Khan's army and provide supplies.

And the betrayal of these people made Aurangzeb, the Mughal tyrant guarding the country, fall into a passive position at once!
Although he also concentrated an army of more than 25 people in Lahore, he was surrounded like this and was useless at all.

As long as he can't move, the land east of Lahore will be gone!

what!
Why is this situation a bit like the Battle of Songjin?

The battle of Songjin was because the Ming army valued Jinzhou too much, because defending Jinzhou lost all the strategic situation.

At that time, Huang Taiji learned from the historical failure of attacking Jinzhou in 1627, and changed different tactics to avoid being good at raiding field battles and not being good at attacking fortified cities.

The strategy adopted by Huang Taiji was a long-term siege to force him to surrender.

The fact is that the strategy was completely successful. It not only wiped out the 13 reinforcements led by Hong Chengtaochou, but also forced the Ming army guards in Songshan, Jinzhou, and Xingshan to surrender, destroying the Ningjin defense line that the Ming army had been operating for many years.

Kangxi used Huang Taiji's trick this time.

The situation in Aurangzeb is more dangerous than the Ming army in the Battle of Songjin. As long as the miscellaneous army surrounds Lahore, Kangxi will win.

Because the Indian soldiers under him still seem to be unable to defeat the enemies outside Lahore
How do you look at it, because Kangxi's army, whether it is the direct line of the Eight Banners or the miscellaneous army, has obviously paler skin than the people of Aurangzeb!
In the concept of Tianzhu people, the whiter the skin, the better the fight!
This concept has not changed until the 21st century. The bad guys in Bollywood movies are generally black, and the good guys are fair-skinned and beautiful, naked skin color discrimination.

Kangxi Khan not only has white skins from Afghanistan and Central Asia, but also a small amount of Raksha white skins
It's too white to be invincible!

And Aurangzeb’s family no longer has the supply chain of the Central Asian white master.

These years have been maintained by the troops of Tianfang believers in India and the Rajput princes (there are many Rajput generals, and Mircha who has defected to Kangxi is just one of them).

And although the skin of these people is whiter than that of the people on the Deccan Plateau in the south, it is definitely not as white as the people of Kangxi Khan.

So they asked the Tianzhu people to go out to the city for a decisive battle. I am afraid that they have already bowed their heads psychologically, and they have no certainty that they can win.

In addition, the Eight Banners soldiers of Kangxi Khan looked too neat, which made Aurangzeb feel a little nervous
