Chapter 71 Dragon Plan 7: Bengal Storm (10) Chittagong Counterattack

 In the next few days, Truchen and Mughal coalition searched everywhere, killing Maratha, Bangladesh, and the British coalition.

Cluttered in this land area about three hundred miles long and a hundred miles wide, Ma, Meng, and the British Allied Forces had no way to escape, and it was only a matter of time before they were finally found.

Of course, although facing water, the winter in Bangladesh is not cold. Truchen has only nine ships, so it is impossible to protect every section of the river. So you just need to jump into the river and swim to the other side and you can escape.

So, five days later, some major figures such as Klevu and Madhav ran away, but the current Bengal Nawabujafa was caught, Timur handed him over to Siraj, and what awaited him would be cruel punishment.

Even so, the search and pursuit of the Truqin army of two brigades, the five thousand Mughal cavalry, and the large number of surrendered Indian slave soldiers must be the few who can escape in the end.

Klevu swims and escapes back to Fort William in Kolkata.

However, less than one battalion of soldiers came back with him, most of whom were Mumbai, and his elite European cavalry no longer existed.

Thinking back to the beginning, he relied on three battalions of Europeans to defeat the Siraj tribe with an army of 50,000, but after he had three brigades, he was defeated by the Truchens, who were even less than him.

The so-called time is fate, but that's it.

At this time, he had a whole brigade in Dhaka, and there were hundreds of militias composed of Europeans in Fort William. There were also many artillery on the walls of Fort William, and he still had support!

But the reality is cruel. Facing Fort William by the Hugley River, the Truchens erected rows of mortars on the first deck of the battleship, and then began shooting round after round!

Except for a few Indians, most of Fort William are white Europeans. The Truchens have no intention of not harming innocent people. A large number of howitzers rushed to the castle!

Klev surrendered.

....

Time is coming January of the New Year.

The terrifying rainy season in Bangladesh is officially coming.

But this scene was ignored by the Burmese people at the same latitude. They did have muskets in their hands, but they were all mescorers, and they didn't prepare much. Their elite were rattan soldiers wearing shorts and short clothes, covered with rattan armor on the upper body, rattan cards in the left hand, and swords in the right hand!

At this time, a month has passed since the siege of Mangur. Meng Yun has cleaned up the vast countryside between Dhaka and Chittagong, captured a large number of people, robbed a large amount of property and food, and piled them in the camp outside Chittagong.

In fact, it was piled up in the shacks of the Arakans and Assams outside the city.

They returned to Chittagong City and launched a rapid attack as soon as possible!

Compared with the Indians, they were quite well-organized. The elephant pulled the siege car and ran slowly towards the city wall. Due to the heavy rain, the muskets and cannons on the city wall completely lost their function.

"Bang!"

When the first siege car was slammed on the city wall, a team of elite rattan soldiers jumped onto the city wall in the heavy rain.

Faced with the situation of the city being destroyed and people being killed, everyone in the city burst out with strong combat power, but even so, facing the well-trained Burmese people, Chittagong City was also lost on this day.

Burmese people ransacked the city in heavy rain.

At this moment, a fleet arrived here.

Of course, it was Truchen's iron-shelled warship. When they entered Chittagong, they immediately launched bombardment on the Burmese warships that were still parked there and spreading more than ten miles long!

Of course there were Burmese sailors on the ship, but in the face of large warships they had never seen before, their usual tactic of climbing onto the enemy ship to fight the snatch the sidelines was completely invalid.

What's more, most warships were either destroyed by the Truqin warship before they could start, or they were knocked over by the sharp corners of the Truqin warship and sank!

Also, of course, some people want to escape, and their ships can paddle, but they don’t have a chance to face the steam warships.

After one day, all the more than 600 warships brought by Meng Yun were destroyed!

Meng Yun was stunned. Although they could still return to Alakan along the land on the east coast of the Bay of Bengal, the mountains there were steep and the roads were rugged. It was still in the terrifying rainy season. It was not easy to bring a large amount of seizures back there?

At this time, the open space between Chittagong City and the port was covered with Burmese soldiers, all huddled together and cursed at the black warships with long swords.

"Put some iron rain for them"

Seeing this, Deng Quan sneered.

One Bogda, four Batulu, used port positions to target the Burmese people who roared in the heavy rain. A total of eighty ships were loaded with grenade shots with cannons, and then bombarded in the heavy rain.

The iron beads all over the sky fell from the sky!

The fifteen-pound type of Truqindier shotgun can also cause indiscriminate damage to about twenty square meters of ground after explosion. Thirty pounds are fifty square meters, and fifty pounds can form about one hundred square meters of terrifying coverage!

According to the conservative estimate of 20 square meters, this time it covers it, causing dense damage to crowded people within 1,500 square meters!

After a round of grenade shots, another round of howitzer bombing!

At this time, the Burmese soldiers on the shore finally thought of escaping back to the city to take refuge, but there was only one city gate in Linhe, so they squeezed into a group at the city gate.

"Boom..."

The grenade shotgun was exerted again. As a large number of Burmese soldiers were crowded near the city gate, a large area was sparse after one round of bombardment!

In the past month, Meng Yun's army has not been damaged, but it has only lost about 5,000 people in total, but on this day they have lost nearly 5,000 people!

Meng Yun was frightened, so he quickly ordered the city gate to close and prepare to rely on the city wall to defend.

The Bengal walls were obviously not as strong as those of the British, and the wars in the area have not stopped over the years and there is no time to repair them.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Truqin battleship replaced with armor-piercing grenades!

After ten rounds of bombardment, a city wall on the river fell down!

The Truqins have no sympathy for the people in the city, whether they are Burmese or Bengali.

The cannon raised its firing angle, and a large number of grenades began to fly over the city again!

At this time, the city walls near the river in Chittagong City were only two hundred meters away from the river bank, and the Danish Governor's Mansion in the city were only three miles away from the river bank, all within the range of Truchen heavy howitzer.

The bombardment continued until dark.

At this time, half of Chittagong City had become a ruin.

Meng Yun is dead.

Not long ago he was watching the Truchens ravaging his ships on the city wall. When shells flew over, he realized something was wrong and ran to the city. When he had just walked into the former Governor's Mansion, a shell hit the roof and a collapsed beam hit his head.

Although he did not die at that time, he died of excessive blood loss not long after.

The heavy rain, and the Burmese people dared not run to the wilderness. When they saw the shells at the farthest point, they could only hit the Governor's Mansion, they all hurried in the northern half of the castle and shivered.

The next morning, the heavy rain finally stopped.

The Truqin soldiers from two brigades collapsed from the ruins.

After a day and night of bombardment, the morale of the Burmese people was greatly reduced, but facing the Truchen people rushing towards them with rifles, they did not surrender like the British, but jumped out one by one, holding rattan cards, holding long swords and shouting at the Truchen soldiers.

The Truchen soldier had bayonets on the rifle at this time, and there were three bullets inside.

While shooting with rifles, they threw grenades from time to time, which was a piercing knot for the Burmese soldiers who rushed up.

In this way, it took them another whole day to completely take down Chittagong City!

Of course, the Burmese people also had cavalry, but in the most difficult situation that Chittagong has ever encountered, the war horses obviously would not obey the command of their masters, and they fled in all directions. By dawn, the Burmese people only gathered a small number of war horses.

They also came by boat, obviously it was impossible to carry too many war horses. Moreover, the war horses of the Burmese are all unique ponies in Southeast Asia, and they cannot be compared with the Truchens' Truchens' Truchens' and the newly included Mawari horses.

They wanted to rush out from other city gates to fight against the Truchen cavalry, but they were obviously not good enough to face a whole regiment of Truchen cavalry.

The Burmese eventually surrendered.

During the Truchens' siege, they lost about 15,000 people, and in the end they surrendered less than 4,000 people. A total of 30,000 troops followed Meng Yun, and obviously a small number of people escaped.

....

Three days later.

Fort William.

Sitting in the provincial governor's office in Klev, Timur and others were quietly listening to Suha's report.

"Your Highness, everyone, Meng Yun did find Prince Alagan and killed him on the spot. Before that, he slaughtered all the surrendered young and strong men, and later slaughtered more than 100,000 people in Chittagong City"

"When they were rampant in the countryside, they killed hundreds of thousands of people and caught a large number of young women, about 50,000. Except for the Arakans and Assams, they were all Bengali people with good looks and light skin"

"About 200,000 stones of ground rice were transported to Chittagong by Bangladesh Shudra, and now they are piled in the warehouse on the dock"

"There are also gold, gems and jewelry worth about two million taels of silver and gold and silver coins"

"But they did not kill the Alashans and Assams who were proficient in water, because their naval organization was somewhat similar to the Ottoman navy, and they used a large number of slave paddlers, and together there were about 10,000 people."

"In addition, due to Klev's surrender, Spencer, another general who guarded Dhaka City, also surrendered. The city was taken over by Alam II. After receiving this news, the Assam king Lakschmi, who was far away in Maimensin, also arrived there and swore to be allegiance to Alam II"

"Did he know that the main credit of this battle is our Truchen?"

"Of course I know it. On the way, many Assamese people ran to Maimensin and defected to him. It is impossible not to know it."

"Yeah, I'll set out right away"

"Where to go?"
