After any global religion spreads from one place to another, it will always make appropriate changes to adapt to the inherent local culture so that the religion can develop faster.

Specific to the Star and Moon Sect, when they entered the magical continent of India, they also underwent changes that conflicted violently with the original teachings: the Star and Moon Sect in India also has a caste system. Although compared with Hinduism,

The hierarchical boundaries of caste and the rights of each caste are not so absolute, but the saying that followers of Allah are equal brothers is openly denied in the Star and Moon Religion in India.

In the Star and Moon Religion of India, the surname Said is the first-class caste. Its status is similar to that of Brahmin in Hinduism.

Therefore, the reason why Said of Bihar was able to become the governor of this core area in the middle reaches of the Ganges, his surname played a big role.

As a senior nobleman, Said certainly knew about the battle between the empire and the Kingdom of Vijayanagar in the past few years. But he did not go to the battlefield in person: those who resisted Datar on the southern front were Sikhs and Xingyue.

The lower castes in the religion.

Therefore, although he also heard that the weapons of the Vijayanagar Kingdom were very powerful, he had no specific idea of ​​what the powerful weapons were.

But today, he experienced it deeply.

Run away, keep running away, and when your exclusive mount is exhausted, switch to another horse and continue running. Damn Cathayans, I have already been defeated, why are you still chasing after me!

After fleeing for a whole day and half a night on various war horses, he finally escaped into the city of Patna. After entering the city, the Governor flew into the Governor's Mansion without saying a word. The maids and servants who greeted him were

People smelled a foul smell when they were still a few meters away from him.

The Governor is pissed off!

At this time, the Sikh commander who followed him into the city showed his value: after he entered the city, he first ordered the gates in several other directions to be closed, leaving only one gate to accommodate the defeated soldiers. Wait until he was there

When he saw the pursuing Ming soldiers on the city tower, he immediately gave the order to close the city gate.

"Huh, huh~" After gasping for air for a while, his lungs were like broken bellows, Huang Degong finally regained his composure: "fmd, we were almost able to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city. Alas, we fell short."

"Huh~ Commander, that's enough. I've been chasing for a whole day and I've probably captured tens of thousands of prisoners. What else do you want?"

"They are all just chickens and dogs. What else can they do if they are captured but to work as coolies? The key is that our army currently lacks heavy weapons. Facing such a fortified city, if we want to capture it, we will have to pay a price."

After saying this, he looked at Huang Fei, who was silent, and Huang Degong roared: "Commander."

"Please give the order, Commander."

"Gather the troops, and officers and soldiers at all levels return to their bases as soon as possible. Let the three regiments at the back send a battalion over and do their best to capture the prisoners."

"It's an order."

On September 5, 1632, Huang Degong, the first army of the Ming Dynasty Army, had its first head-on confrontation with the army of the Mughal Empire. The entire battle was estimated to have lasted less than twenty minutes, and the rest was close to

15 hours of chasing and arresting. When such news reached the town of Asansol in the rear on September 6, everyone from Liu Zhao to Sun down were shocked and their jaws dropped.

"Hiss, how can such a vulnerable army and such a weak country have such good land?"

"Hey, brother Zhennan, didn't you listen to the professor at the military school before setting off? The Indian continent is basically a closed plate. Except for the gap in the northwest, the rest is surrounded by mountains and oceans. Before navigation technology developed to a certain level, except for

Except for Persia and Afghanistan, no one from other places can launch a military attack on it."

"Haha, we now have the ability to transport large armies from the sea... Well, anyway, this is a good thing. Hey, General?"

While many of the generals below were beaming with joy at Huang Degong's loud voice, Liu Zhaosun, who was sitting in the chief seat, frowned.

"Hey, the advance is too fast." He looked at the map and measured the distance from Calcutta to Patna with his hands: "Our army currently has only 30,000 soldiers capable of fighting, and it temporarily lacks heavy equipment. But now it has

Being stretched into a long snake formation hundreds of miles long, this is extremely dangerous in terms of military science."

"General, so what? The Indian's combat power is so sparse, why should we stretch it out a little more?"

"Bullshit! Since you were reminding Mao Wenlong about things in the military academy just now, you should know that the Mughals are a big country with a deep foundation. And according to the information provided by Jin Yiwei, the northeastern Mughal states,

There has been peace and no war all year round, so the combat effectiveness of its soldiers is the weakest. Those armies that have been resisting foreign enemies on the northwest border all year round, and fighting in the southern border and Deccan Plateau countries, their combat effectiveness is definitely much stronger than these armies now. Everyone

, we are fighting deep into the heart of a big country, we must not relax our vigilance just because of a temporary victory. We need to know that arrogant soldiers will be defeated."

"The general's lesson is correct, the general will wait for his orders."

"We will discuss the next move of our army. You can put forward any opinions you have."

"...General, I have some ideas for my humble position."

"Oh? Prince Consort Lu, don't be so reserved, please speak."

"Yes." The dark-skinned Lu Xiangsheng stood out from the crowd: "General, I humbly believe that our army has two things to do immediately. The first is to send a messenger to General Cao in Yangon.

Send a message, asking him to send a certain number of soldiers to supplement our army's combat strength as appropriate. I think this number should not exceed 10,000 at most. Any more will affect the logistics support. In addition, it is necessary to

Find ways to replenish us with enough medicine."

"Well, this land is really good. There is no shortage of food at all. There is really no need to sacrifice precious transportation capacity to transport food in the short term. Oh, Prince Consort Lu, you continue."

"Yes, secondly, I humbly suggest that the general give orders to Commander Huang to lead his troops back here after capturing a certain number of prisoners."

"Huh? What do you mean, even though our army won a great victory, we still won't touch the city of Patna?"

"Yes, General. I think there are three advantages to not taking the city of Patna. Although Patna is the capital of a state, it has high walls. Although the enemy's field combat skills are poor, our army lacks

If you want to capture it with heavy weapons, you still have to pay a certain price. By not capturing this city, our army can reduce unnecessary casualties. This is one of the reasons.

Secondly, it is said that the city has a very large population. If we capture this city, the things we have to face will be very complicated, which will not be conducive for our army to concentrate on fighting.

Thirdly, this city is hundreds of miles farther from the Hooghly River than Asansol Town. At present, because the rainy season has not ended yet and our army's heavy equipment cannot be transported, our army should hold on tight.

Here, relevant preparations will be made for the arrival of General Cao’s main force in the future.”

"...Well, everyone, what do you mean?"

"General, I think what Prince Consort Lu said is right. At this moment, we cannot care about the gains and losses of one city or one place. As the vanguard force, we should stand firm and make relevant arrangements for the arrival of the follow-up troops. In order to

In the end, although the town of Asansol is small and has a small population, it will be convenient for us to re-establish fortifications, and the small population will also make it easier for us to control..."

"What you said makes sense, but..." Liu Zhaosun let out a long sigh: "Originally, according to the Privy Council's plan before departure, our main force should have dealt a major blow to the Mughals within September and attracted their main force.

The troops came closer. Then in October, the Mangui detachment from the northwest came out from the direction of Pangong Lake and went straight into Delhi... If we turn a blind eye to the mere Patna city, it may make the enemy think

Our army is not strong enough and dare not go deep. In this case, I am afraid that we will not be able to attract the enemy's main force to come closer."

"General, if we go to surround the city of Patna but don't have heavy weapons to attack the city, won't it also let the other side see our true and false intentions?"

"That's true, huh? What else does Prince Consort Lu have to say?"

"General, I despise my position and think that it is possible to not only capture the city of Patna but also attract the main force of the Mughals to come over."

"Oh? Is the plan coming out?"

"General, it is better not to show weakness to the enemy. I suggest that we take this matter in two steps. First, let Commander Huang lead his troops to surround the city of Napatna. Do not attack. Use bows and arrows to project letters into the city every day.

The content of the letter might as well be more arrogant. Anyway, it will do whatever it takes to make the enemy angry. Secondly, after besieging the city for a few days, our army took the initiative to retreat. Hey, I hope the enemy is not too stupid and knows to check the camp we left. Then they

It will soon be discovered that our army is short of food and heavy weapons..."
