Winter in the Bay of Bengal is officially here.

Although it was not the time when the rain was the most, it started to rain lightly in the sky every now and then.

The city of Mangour built by the Truchens is surrounded.

The 30,000 Maratha army came from the north. The Siraj army, which was fighting against Jafa near Budwan, was defeated. Jafa took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing. In the end, Siraj, Dubres fled to Mangur with only a few troops.

Dubres' French army showed their usual style throughout history, and they took the lead in running away, which led to the collapse of the Siraj team.

Finally, the Marathas came from the north, Jafa came from the east, and Klev personally led two brigades to surround the small city of Mangour from the south.

For Klevu, everything was going as he expected.

In his mind, if the Truchens ran back to the boat before the Marathas arrived, he would have no choice but to stay there!

"Did they not take the tens of thousands of troops around them seriously?"

But Klev didn't want so much. His two brigades had two artillery regiments, who could bombard the city of Mangur at a very long distance - of course, before that, he needed the Maratha people, and the Bengals of Jafa's troops first used their flesh and blood to consume a wave of Truchen's ammunition.

Now that time is in his hands, not in the hands of the Truchens, he is sure that he still has a lot of ammunition in Fort William.

What he puzzled most was that the Truqins had already gained a full advantage on water, but did not stop him from using Bengal ships to transport the two brigades to the other side and then successfully arrived in Mangur.

You should know that there is a large river, Rubnarayan River, west of Kolkata, which can also be passed through large ships. The Truchens can block the two rivers with warships as long as they are willing, so that their troops cannot reach Mangur smoothly, and they can only be trapped in Kolkata and cannot move.

But the Truchens didn't do that.

However, although he was a little confused, Claver understood that this was his only chance to turn the world around. If he lost this opportunity, the history of the British Empire East India Company's Bangladesh Province would come to an abrupt end and he would also ascend to the pillar of shame in the history of the empire.

Because he was granted the baron in the previous war, if he lost this battle, not only would the title be deprived, but the entire family would be humiliated, which was unacceptable.

What's more, he is an extremely excellent army general. As long as he has a glimmer of chance, he will try his best.

If he was a Truchener, he should use the advantage of firearms to defeat each enemy in all directions before he arrived. This is their only chance, but they still let it go.

The only doubt is the Mughals. The Truchens' ships had arrived at Bharat along the Ganges before. They did not contact the Marathas, so they had only one contact person.

Mughals.

However, it is true that the Afghans launched a large army into their territory, and it is true that some people have seen that Alam II has withdrawn the army north of Bharat and left only a small number of troops there.

Could it be that the Truchens didn't convince him?

However, he still has to thank Alam II. Without his withdrawal, the Maratha army on the south bank of the Ganges River would not have gone south immediately.

He really couldn't think of any tricks from Truchen.

In addition to Mangur, the siege of Chittagong was also underway. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that Meng Yun came to the legendary Prince Alagan, so the Alagans there used a lot of effort. They arranged 30,000 young and strong people outside Chittagong City to prevent Meng Yun from entering the city.

There are 20,000 Assams as the second line of defense between the city wall and the Arakans, followed by the Bengal defenders in the city and a thousand regular troops of Denmark.

In the view of Anderson, the governor of the Danes, if Meng Yun is allowed to take it down like this, the Danes will go back to Europe as soon as possible and don’t have the dream of colonizing the world.

But he obviously underestimated Meng Yun.

Myanmar has been using firearms in large quantities since the Ming Dynasty. They can also build their own mesh rope guns. With the help of Portugal, they also have many flintlock guns and a large number of artillery guns.

What's more, as a country close to China before, it was a country that was quite influenced by China except Vietnam. They were obviously much stronger in military training, marshalling, and equipment than Siam, Cambodia, Laos and other countries.

Whether it is the Arakans, Assams, or Bangladeshis, the way their army is formed is still very primitive, all relying on their blood courage. The Bangladeshis probably don't even have blood courage.

Therefore, Meng Yun only attacked the outer city for three days and defeated the mob outside the city, and truly achieved "killing more than 10,000 prisoners". The Alagans and Assams scattered outside the city, and defending the prince was no longer as important as their own life.

They ran to the north, and Meng Yun sent cavalry to pursue the city, while leisurely starting the siege. At this time, the Danes' muskets and artillery came in handy. Meng Yun could easily defeat the "army" outside the city, but it was still far from winning Chittagong.

Meng Yun brought 30,000 troops this time, and he did not rush to attack the city, but left only 10,000 people outside the city. The remaining 20,000 people were scattered to the countryside except for pursuing the defeated soldiers.

Burning, killing, looting, is something that the Burmese were doing in Siam at this time. It is said that the Burmese and the Siams still came from the same source, and they still plundered them in large numbers. Naturally, they would not be polite in this unusual Bangladesh.

East Bengal was immediately affected.

It seems that Meng Yun was not all for Prince Alakan. Capturing property and population to enrich his power is probably also an important consideration.

The war in the east is in full swing, and the west is beginning.

After learning that Alam II withdrew his troops, the Marathas had destroyed their ships on the Ganges, and the Marathas could not cross the river to pursue them, so they had to come to attack the Truqins as agreed. This time it was Jipeshwa, who was only twenty-one years old this year, led the team himself.

The 30,000 army, including 5,000 cavalry, 500 elephants, 20,000 slave soldiers, and 5,000 musketeers, all composed of Vaishya, are indeed a force that cannot be underestimated.

However, Timur and others in Mangour City were not in a hurry at all.

During this period, they built ten outer positions outside Mangour City, which were naturally made of straw bags filled with soil. Each position was placed with a battalion, and the remaining brigade stayed in Mangour City.

The distance between each camp is just within the design range of Truchen's new rifle, which can be fought independently and cooperate with each other to surround Mangour City in the middle.

It has been twenty years since Qitad "awakened" from Truchen. After inventing the epoch-making achievements of firing-firing ammunition, they obviously would not only have one grenade, but the grenade shot is another big killer.

At this time, grenade shots also appeared in Europe, but like grenades, there must be a wooden board between the launching medicine and the bullet body, and the ignition method is still the most primitive, with extremely poor reliability, range and accuracy that can only be blessed by God.

The maximum amount of use is solid bullets, and there may be shotguns. If it is on the boat, a chain bullet used to destroy the masts and sails will be used.

But the Truchens have completely given up on solid bullets and have used hair pulling, firing needle firing shells, bullets.

The Marathas did not disappoint Klev. They took the lead in attacking the five battalions on the periphery in the north, and dispatched five thousand people at once. It seemed that each battalion was going to attack with one thousand people.

"Boom..."

The Truchens' grenade shots have begun to be cast.

There are two different points in the dierium shotgun: one is the timing and location of the explosion. They can be used to use light field guns to launch them or placed in broken mortar barrels. The natural triggering methods are different. The Truchens come from afar and the most artillery they carry is mortars, ranging from 30 kilograms to 300 kilograms.

The grenade shots used in mortars are naturally triggered by striker type. As long as the shooting angle is right, it will explode when it flies to a distance of five to twenty meters above the target. The outer layer is thin iron sheet, and the inner layer is dozens to one hundred iron beads, which will appear at that time. The iron beads flying all over the sky will shoot the enemy below.

The grenade is triggered by impact, and there is also a striker-type initiation device between its warhead and ammunition. Because it is very fast and has a huge kinetic energy, it can instantly pass through obstacles and then fire the bullet body behind it. Such a killer is most suitable for use on the wooden shell ship that is now full of eyes.

So, in addition to the drizzle of light rain, there was also a gust of iron rain above the slave soldiers of the Maratha!

The slave soldiers could not withstand it after only a short while. Although they obeyed and obedient, they were also afraid of death. After the two rounds of iron rain, the slave soldiers ran back together. At this time, even the Vaishi generals, the Kshatriya men threatened them was useless.

Klev's telescope obviously cannot capture the iron rain, but he obviously cannot see the misfortune of the Maratan soldiers. In order to encourage the Maratans not to give up, he asked his artillery regiment to attack Mangur!

The Truchens were threatened for the first time.

However, Klev is able to bring cannons here during the rainy season, obviously there will be no heavy cannons with extremely long range and powerful power, and only some small and medium-sized cannons that are convenient to carry.

In this way, the range of artillery is within the control of the Truchens. After withstanding several rounds of bombardment by the British, although the Truchens also suffered some casualties, they also thoroughly understood the position of the British artillery.

The mortar weighing 200 kilograms and 300 kilograms has begun to perform.

After three rounds of test-fire, the mortar began to bombard the entire mortar.

About two hours later, a British artillery regiment was silent. Although the British had already had the idea of ​​aiming and shooting by observing the positions of enemy artillery, they were all based on the premise of using solid bullets. If you want to use primitive grenades, it would be harder to accurately hit the target than climbing to the sky.

The deviations caused by the wooden board in the middle to the ballistic are not something they can control. At this time, the grenades and shotguns are specially used to deal with a large number of cavalry and infantry in dense formations, rather than to name and shoot.

Klaywu was so scared that he did not dare to let another artillery regiment come on, but instead tried his best to urge the Marathas to continue attacking and let the Jafa Ministry launch an attack at the same time.

Since his life and death enemy Siraj was in Mangur, Jafa did not make a fuss this time. He followed Klewu's order and let his slave soldiers attack the three camps, and the result was naturally the same as the Marathas.

Return without success.

Why did tribes from the West cross the Khyber Pass and attack India again and again and again and become the masters of the locals?

It’s not that there are too few Indians, but that their fighting will is too weak, whether it is the Kshatriya on the upper level or the Shudra on the lower level.

Such a weird operation as non-resistance movement can only occur in this country.
