739 [This is the decisive battle?] (For the leader Tiboshu Wu(1/2)

The Sultanate of Ahmednegal, also known as the Nizam Shahi Dynasty.

It was split from Bahniman, and its founder, Ahmed, was a subordinate of the prime minister who tried hard to reform but was killed by a conspiracy.

Until now, it is only the second generation of sultans.

Chand Bibi's father Burhan Shah was the Sultan of the Shahi Dynasty.

But you would never imagine that during most of his reign, this guy formed an alliance with the Hindu Ananda Kingdom and attacked the surrounding Green Sultanate. And his son was historically the terminator of the Ananda Kingdom.

And single-handedly pushed the coalition forces of the four major sultanates to move south.

In the Deccan Plateau at this time, there is no morality, no order, no integrity, only endless betrayal and chaos!

This phenomenon was caused by Krishna, the great monarch of Ananda, Wang Yuan’s cheap father-in-law.

King Krishna defeated the Sudanese army many times. Since it was difficult to occupy the land of the Green Religion, he liked to put back the Sudanese who lost the war. After the defeat of these Sudans, there were often people in the country who seized power. If they were put back and reset, it would mean civil strife. And the person who took the throne would

, and often have the support of neighboring countries. Once the Sudan is successfully restored, he will turn around and seek revenge from his neighboring countries.

As a result, under the instigation of King Krishna, the sultanate in the Deccan region fell into complete chaos. There were so many betrayals that no one trusted anyone, and the power of a country was often stolen by nobles of other countries.

The Deccan Sultans thus bestowed upon King Krishna the title: Founder of the Foreign Dynasty.

It is a pity that the huge territory that King Krishna conquered was occupied by a ragtag group of Tianzhu Cotton Society after he died of illness. Even his daughter Kong Fu was given to Wang Yuan as a concubine, and his son was even taken over by the Cotton Society.

Raise a fat pig.



The huge river fleet sailed slowly towards Tongzhou City, with thousands of cavalry and more than 40,000 infantry following along the river.

The two coalition forces in the northwest only have such a small number of people.

But its combat effectiveness far exceeded the more than 80,000 four-nation coalition forces defeated by Lu Sheng. Especially their cavalry, which completely inherited the essence of the Bahniman Kingdom, was small but extremely fierce (Bahniman Sultan, has always been called the Bahniman Sultan by the Hindus)

as 'Horse King').

Hussein stood at the bow of the ship and frowned: "Father, I heard that the Ananda Kingdom has changed its king, and the new king is the prime minister of China. Do you really want to fight again this time?"

Burhan Shah was over sixty years old and was a cunning Sultan. He smiled and said: "A foreign prime minister actually became the king of Ananda. How many people do you think will listen to his orders?"

Although the Kingdom of Ahmednegal is also a coastal country, it has never had a colonial port and has never fought wars with the Portuguese and Han armies.

Hussain said: "I don't think there is any need to take risks. Why should we help Bijapur expand its territory?"

"Trading always comes and goes," Burhansha said with a smile. "Your sister (Chande Bibi) is already the princess of Bijapur. Our two countries should support each other."

With fart's support, interests take care of it.

The country of Bijapur relied on doing business with Portugal and the Ming Dynasty. Although it was deprived of several ports to serve as colonial settlements, it still became very wealthy.

The Ahmed Negal country is relatively poor, so they have to go south to grab something. The Heitian River Basin where Tongzhou is located is the most developed agricultural region in the central part of the Indian subcontinent.

Burhan Shah not only was able to plunder goods this time by sending troops, but also got a promise from the Sultan of Bijapur. That is: Ahmed Negal will send troops to neighboring countries in the future. Even if the Neral country is completely annexed, the Bijapur country will also

No interference is allowed. In return, the Bijapur state can also annex neighboring Bidar.

The sultans, son and daughter, want to form an alliance and expand separately!

Seeing the allied forces of the two countries approaching, the refugees outside Tongzhou City were so frightened that they jumped into the river and ran away, hoping to cross the river to seek refuge from Wang Yuan.

The exiled nobles outside the city were reluctant to abandon their belongings. Wang Yuan had already emptied the nearby ships. The nobles' gold and silver treasures could not cross the river, so they could only guard their treasures and huddle together to wait for the war.

The allied forces of the two countries stopped outside the city, and the warships were used to guard against Wang Yuan on the other side of the river.

Old-fashioned mortars were rolled out one after another. This thing has a long history and was a siege weapon that Zhu Yuanzhang liked to use.

Wang Yuan stood on a high platform on the other side of the river and observed the situation with a telescope.

The origin of these Deccan Sultanates is the Delhi Sultanate further north. Their military style inherited a lot of the Delhi Sultanate, and at the same time absorbed some characteristics of Hindu countries.

Perhaps because of the expedition, the two coalition forces did not bring war elephants.

In front are rows of long shield bearers. Those long shields are chest high, and the formation is very defensive. Then there are javelins, spears, swords, shields, bows and arrows and other arms, and even a small number of fire gun soldiers, but fire gun soldiers.

They are all located in the central army and seem to be only used as surprise troops and reserves.

The thousands of cavalrymen were obviously in an Arabian style. The generals all wore full body chain armor, and their helmets also had chain mail hanging down to protect their necks.

"Boom boom boom!"

Mortar volley.

It did not aim at the city wall, but at the northern exiled nobles outside the city.

The morale of the private soldiers of the exiled nobles was not high, and they were greeted by another round of mortars. Although not many people were killed, there were already signs of collapse.

A noble shouted towards the city: "Send troops to rescue us quickly!"

The defenders in the city turned a deaf ear.

If there were no reinforcements from Wang Yuan on the other side of the river, the defenders in the city would definitely rescue their compatriots. But since there were already elite reinforcements, why should they rescue the exiled nobles?

These private soldiers of the nobles are useless in fighting and are a sheer waste of food.

It is better to let them die and receive the goods left behind after their death. If the exiled nobles did not die, they would be embarrassed to rob them. It would be good for everyone if those guys died.

Wang Yuan had the same idea and asked his enemies to take care of the exiled nobles, so that he could easily immigrate to the north.

After two rounds of shelling, the coalition cavalry suddenly charged.

Two thousand cavalry troops rushed close and fired collectively, and the arrows fell on the private formation of the exiled nobles.

These cavalrymen fired an arrow and left. Two thousand more cavalrymen rushed forward, and they rushed closer than before. They also fired an arrow and turned away.

Finally, the third round of cavalry rushed in, and the entire private army of the exiled nobles collapsed.

The nobles couldn't restrain themselves, so they had no choice but to abandon their belongings and run away. They didn't even care about their wives, children, and family members. They took off their armor and jumped into the river one by one.

The Sudanese coalition cavalry did not lose a single soldier, fired only two rounds of arrows, and charged three times, completely killing the Indian exiled nobles outside the city.

A large number of Sudanese cavalry dismounted and looted the treasures. Although these guys were powerful, their discipline was really tough.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Arrows were immediately fired from the city, aiming at the cavalry who were robbing the goods. After killing dozens of people, the cavalry all left, not daring to rob the goods outside the city.

The two sultans immediately ordered an attack on the city.

But Tongzhou City is located at the intersection of two rivers, surrounded by water on almost three sides, and has only one and a half walls to climb.

After a feint attack, which cost the defenders some arrows, the Sudanese coalition forces withdrew again.

"Boom boom boom!"

More than a dozen old-fashioned mortars aimed at the city gate and fired a salvo. Unfortunately, the aim was too far, and none of the shells missed. Instead, they made several dents in the nearby city wall.

After a futile effort, the coalition soldiers attacked the city again.

The allied warships gradually approached, shooting nobles and refugees who jumped into the river.

Immediately afterwards, the coalition warships circled to the northeast side of the city wall and suddenly dropped more than ten siege ladders.

But it was the dry season at this time, and the city wall at the intersection of the two rivers revealed a large section of tidal flat after the water receded. The defenders had all gone to defend the front, but they didn't expect the enemy to build ladders behind them. They were caught off guard for a while.

"Aren't you going to save me?" Song Ling'er asked nervously.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "There is no rush, but we can make preparations."

Small boats were carried upstream to the river bank one by one by the Han army, and then filled with dead grass branches and poured with cans of kerosene.

Unfortunately, in the dry season, the river flow is not fast, so each boat has to be rowed down.

The coalition soldiers relied on sneak attacks to scale the back city wall. The defenders hurriedly reinforced the place, and both sides were fighting anxiously.

Wang Yuan frowned and said: "Quickly notify Lu Sheng and tell them not to return to Tongzhou and go directly to the northwest to cut off the enemy cavalry's retreat."

Wang Yuan had a huge appetite and wanted to wipe out tens of thousands of enemy troops.

Unfortunately, Lu Sheng's army was too slow to return, and the coalition forces of the two countries attacked the city in advance and attacked the city wall at once. Wang Yuan had to use fire attack ships in advance. Although this move could destroy the opponent's navy, it left behind

There are thousands of enemy cavalry outside the city.

"What is that?" Hussein pointed to the river behind him.

Burhansha looked back and felt his scalp numb. He saw hundreds of small boats carrying flames going down the river, and there were people on the boats paddling frantically.

"Get out of the battleship quickly!" Burhan Shah shouted.

The father and son and their guards hurriedly jumped into the river, swam desperately to the shore, and then ran to join the cavalry troops.

The flames burned so fiercely that the Han soldiers in the rowing boats couldn't hold on, so they jumped into the river one after another, swam and pushed the boats forward. Gradually, the fire became too fierce, and under the smoke and fire, the Han soldiers did not dare to get closer and let them go.

The fire boat drifted slowly downward.

The Sultan of Bijapur, Ibrahim Adil Shah I, was on board a ship directing the siege.

His view of the ship was blocked by the corner of the city wall, so he couldn't see the fire ships coming, and he kept urging the soldiers to attack the city.

"Blow the trumpet!"

"woo woo woo woo!"

A trumpet sounded from Wang Yuan's base camp. Two thousand Han gunmen in Tongzhou City immediately climbed onto the city tower and fired volleys at the enemy attacking the city from the front. The Indian defenders in Tongzhou rushed to rescue the city wall behind and blocked the climbers.
