Li Dingguo ordered Li Yuanyin, the Bo of Guangchang, and Jin Tongwu, the commander-in-chief, to lead 5,000 troops to garrison Aude Province, and then led more than 20,000 troops to the north.
Along the way, the defenders from various places were invincible. However, the defender of Rohirkander was unconvinced and led 7,000 local troops to block his troops. As soon as the battle began, the Ming army defeated his army like chopping melons and vegetables.
He will seize the land, and then attack the Mughal capital Delhi without any resistance.
Chador, the captain of ten thousand men, was famous for his bravery in the Mughal army. Hearing that the Ming army was coming, he was not afraid and commanded his men to defend the city.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The artillery fire from both sides began, and then a fierce siege began.
Dong Fangce, the uncle of Xuanping, was at the forefront. Ever since he was changed from a noble to a noble due to his involvement in seizing the gate, he was very eager to take responsibility for his crimes.
This time, I will definitely make the first move and restore Spyker! Thinking of this, his heart became hot, and he quickly climbed up the ladder with his hands and feet and went to the city to kill.
"Bang", a stray bullet injured someone, killed him with one shot, and fell from a ladder.
After all, the combat power of the Ming army was much higher than that of the Mughal army, and its number was more than twice that of the Mughal army. Li Dingguo, who was good at fighting, deliberately only attacked the east and south sides, leaving the west and north sides open for the enemy to escape.
As long as there is a way to survive, there will be no desire to fight. After seven days, the defenders collapsed and broke out of the city from the west and north, including the Ten Thousand Captain Chador.
Chador fled to the northwest in panic. Prince Bahedu was in Multan in the northwest, and he would be safe there.
"Bah~bah~bah~"
Suddenly, guns rained down, and ambushes sprang up.
Unfortunately, Chador encountered the sword of Wu Jingbo Guoxi. The sword was very fast and his head was decapitated with one swing. He was so crazy that he shouted to the sky, "You are just a rat, are you dreaming about escaping from Duke Qin's arrangement?"<

The news that the Ming army had captured Delhi, the heart of the Mughal Empire, spread. The Mughal general Namgar who was fighting a fierce battle with the Sikhs in Longgarh, Punjab in the north, was so frightened that he lost his mind.
"General, you must quickly return to Lahore to defend, to avoid being cut off by the Ming army," the general advised.
Namgar nodded and ordered the retreat to Lahore. This city was the old capital of the Mughals and the storage place for the army's food and grass.
When we came to the city, the Mughal military flag was still hanging on the top of the city.
Namgar was relieved. It seemed that the city was still in his own hands, and the army had no worries for the time being. He sent someone to notify the defenders to open the city gate.
As soon as the generals slacked off, the soldiers became disheartened, and some gradually took off their armor and rested.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The cannon sounded, the ambush troops on both wings rushed out, and a Ming army also came out of the city. Li Dingguo had already captured the city, but deliberately hoisted the Mughal flag to lure the enemy.
Namgar was taken aback and had no time to resist, so he was ambushed and killed.
Li Dingguo captured many places in Oudh, Rohirkhand, Delhi, and Lahore. His troops were slightly insufficient, so he gave up Peshawar and Keshimir to the Sikhs. He and the Sikh leaders
Master Sinha met in Peshawar, and the imperial court consecrated Sinha as the consolation envoy to Peshawar, and Banda as the consolation envoy to Keshimil soon arrived.
The alliance with the Sikhs allowed Li Dingguo to receive more than 10,000 Sikh reinforcements. He assembled 30,000 troops to march south to Mulatan and annihilate Prince Bahedu who was fighting a fierce battle with the Rajputs.
The Rajputs are good at riding and shooting. Since the rise of the Safavid dynasty of Persia and wresting most of the Arab Han from the Huangwoer Empire, it has been difficult for the empire to recruit elite Turkic cavalry, so the Rajput cavalry has become
The only source of cavalry turned out to be the opposite!
Even so, Prince Bahedu still defeated the army of Rajput leader Pratap Singh who besieged Mulatan.
Pratap Singh fled back to his country of Mewar with only a thousand remaining soldiers.
Before Prince Bahedu had time to take a breath, he got the bad news that Delhi had been lost and the Ming army was moving south. He was not a reckless person. After hearing the news, he immediately abandoned Multan and went south to Bikaner City, trying to rely on the garrison in Indore.
Chai Singh's troops resisted the Ming army, and sent flying horses to inform Emperor Aurangzeb who was far away in the Deccan. However, although Chai Singh led 30,000 troops, the main force was not in Indore, but in
In the mountains near Ahmedabad, the defeated troops under the command of Shivaji, the leader of the Maratha people, were encircled and suppressed.
The Ming army continued to move south, but Prince Bahedu did not dare to fight and fled south to Ahmedabad again.
Li Dingguo had no time to take care of him, but moved westward, connecting Kashikarpur and Karachi. In Karachi, he also had a fight with the leader of the Rajputs, Pratap Singh, the king of Mewar.
Alliance.
"Mr. Qin, this is my little thought, please accept it." King Pratap Singh offered a generous gift with an extremely humble attitude. The situation was stronger than the people, and the main force of his army was defeated by Mo in Multan.
The Wo'er people were defeated, and now there are only three thousand old and weak soldiers left.
"I appreciate your kindness." Li Dingguo accepted the gift list with a smile, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. It seems that King Meihuaer has lost most of his strength, otherwise why would he be so groveling?
Since he has no strength, there is no need to be polite. The decree of the court arrived soon, and Pratap Singh was only granted the title of Thousand Households. Those with strength, such as Sinha and Banda, were granted the title of comfort envoy, but those without strength were granted the title of comfort envoy.
For example, he only closed a thousand households. This is the true meaning of politics. Not only that, the Ming army also firmly controlled areas such as Multan, Sindh, and Bikaner where the Rajputs were the majority.
Even though Pratap Singh was filled with hatred, there was nothing he could do.
"Duke of Qin, the commander ordered you to rush to Gwalior to join him." In this southern expedition, Duke Yang Huai of Jin was the commander. Originally, the two sides planned to meet in Audh Province. Unexpectedly, when Yang Huai arrived, Li Dingguo was laying down the enemy.
He arrived in Delhi. Not to be outdone, he went west to capture Gwalior and ordered Li Dingguo to join him in Gwalior city.
Military orders were coming, and Li Dingguo was about to go on his way when he suddenly received a letter from his ally Master Sinha asking for help. King Suleiman I of Persia ordered Ahmed, the chief of the Pashtun Abdali people, to be the vanguard and led an army of 70,000 to capture the city.
Kabul Province in the northwest.
Ahmed was a warrior among the Abdali people, and Suleiman I was good at using troops and had a large army. Sinha and Banda could not defeat them, so they had to ask Li Dingguo for help.
Should he obey the order and go to Gwalior City or go north for rescue? If he doesn't go, he will disobey the military order twice; if he goes, the Persians may take the opportunity to seize Delhi. History has given Li Dingguo another multiple-choice question.
"Alas! Delhi is the center of the Mughals. Once there is a mistake, the good situation will collapse. I hope the commander-in-chief will not blame me." Li Dingguo sighed and ordered not to go to Gwalior City, but to go north to Punjab for reinforcements.
Sikh. He picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Yang Huai, explaining in detail the reasons why he did not go to Gwalior.
The Duke of Jin, Yang Huai, was not a petty person. Instead of being angry, he wrote to Li Dingguo to be more careful. Since he could not wait for Li Dingguo to come, he could only deal with the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb alone, so he simply fought with the enemy in the city of Gwalior.
