To the east of the Brahmaputra River, on the road south from Sirajganj, a very large army with endless lines of sight was heading south.
This army does not seem to be very elite, the queues are not very neat, the coats worn by the soldiers are also different, and the soldiers do not have the bravery of soldiers who have experienced battles for a long time. No matter from which point of view, this seems
They are not a strong army.
But if you can raise your gaze and look down like an eagle that can soar thousands of feet in the sky, you will find that although the formation of this army is not scattered during the march, it seems that it can change to attack or defense at any time.
; At the same time, they marched extremely fast, as if they had endless physical strength.
"General Sheng, why are the soldiers so alert? If you let them relax, the marching speed can be faster. The most important thing in this battle is the speed of the soldiers. If they are discovered by the enemy, they may not be able to achieve what General Lan told me to do.
Errand. This is the first time I have fought in such a battle, and I cannot fail." On a large carriage in the march, a man wearing light armor said. The man was not old, and from his appearance he looked about
He is just old enough to grow a beard, but if you notice the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, you would guess that he is in his mid-thirties.
"Your Highness, think about defeat before winning." The man he called General Sheng didn't say much, he just said this.
"Your Highness, what General Sheng said is that you must not make any mistakes. Even if the Indians find out that you are leading the army south now, they will not be able to gather enough troops to stop you. However, your safety is the most important thing, so it is better to be cautious."
Another person said.
"You haven't given up on your plan to let General Sheng or Mu Ang lead the troops to attack Babuna City, while Gu stays behind and waits for news! But Gu must personally lead the troops to attack Babuna City! This is the first time that Min Fan has sent troops to participate like this.
How can I be in the rear during the battle?" the man in light armor said again.
This person is of course Min Wang Zhu, the deputy general of the right army who attacked Bengal or India. He was appointed as the deputy general of the right army nearly a year ago. At the beginning of this year, he should lead troops to attack Bengal and complete his first battle in India.
However, some minor incidents occurred during his journey south, causing him to be a few days late. However, within these few days, the situation changed dramatically. The original plan was terminated, and Zhu Ye led his troops to withdraw to the middle reaches of the Brahmaputra River.
He even personally returned to the domain to coordinate the re-mobilization of troops. A few months later, as Lan Zhen sent someone to inform him that he was going to restart the war, he once again led his troops south into Bengal, and this time he had many more soldiers under his command.
"Your Highness, I believe that commanding from the center is more important than charging into the battle. Since launching the attack again, General Lan has not left Gaoping City, but has only been sitting in command." The man he called General Sheng said again.
"How can Gu be compared with General Lan during battlefield expeditions? Therefore, Gu still has to go to the front line in person. Even if he doesn't personally command the soldiers, he still needs to let the soldiers know that Gu is behind them." Zhu said again.
Someone tried to persuade him again, but General Sheng didn't speak. Seeing this, Zhu could only sigh helplessly. "Why did the general sent by Mu Sheng to command the guard choose him? Well, actually, I can understand why."
I picked him, but I still felt frustrated. When the officials sent this general named Sheng Yong to Yunnan as a general, did they expect that sooner or later they would attack India, so they sent him in advance to wait for the command of Yunnan to support Gu?
Guard?'
But in fact, half of Zhu's ideas were wrong. There was no such thing as the three-year Jingnan War in this world. Although Sheng Yong became a commander with his own ability, he was still unknown in the Ming Dynasty, except for the one who had been with him
No one who had worked with him knew him. But by chance, Yun carefully looked at the transfer list of the commander of the Wei army and found him, so he decided to promote him. But at that time, the battle between Yiwu and Ming Dynasty was over, and Ming Dynasty had nothing to do.
During the war, Yun thought about it and felt that the southwest area had always been the most unstable, so he was transferred to Yunnan and asked to be promoted in the future if he made meritorious service.
However, he worked in Yunnan for three years. Although he also wiped out some tribes who dared to resist the Ming Dynasty, the accumulated merits were still not enough for promotion. At this time, the scale of the Indian War expanded in advance, and Zhu Xiangyun requested the deployment of Yunnan's garrison to support him, and he agreed.
Mu Sheng sent two guards. Mu Sheng picked them around and felt that Sheng Yong was cautious and suitable to assist the adventurous Zhu, so he asked him to lead the two guards south and put them under Zhu's command.
"That's it. Tonight, the army arrived at the camping site, and Gu stayed behind and sent an order to Mu Ang, who will take command for Gu and capture the city of Babna." After a while, Zhu sighed and said.
"Your Highness is wise." Sheng Yong said immediately. The man next to him also became happy and immediately jumped out of the carriage to deliver the order.
"What's so wise and unwise?" Zhu said with a hint of annoyance: "If I didn't think that everything you did was out of sincerity, how could I have listened to you? It's just a pity that I missed a good opportunity to do so in isolation.
The Buddhists lurking in Bengal sent a message that with General Lan commanding the army and cooperating, they will surely be able to capture the city of Babuna."
"Your Highness, I have always believed that you cannot trust anyone." Sheng Yong replied: "Although Buddhists are extremely suppressed in India, they may not be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and they may not be able to do the meticulous work of Tianfang believers."
"But the fact that there are not many troops in Babna City has been confirmed by others. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has more troops than the Tianfang Cult's coalition. General Lan commanded the army to approach the middle reaches of the Ganges and Dhaka City, and the Tianfang Cult could not protect themselves.
, how can they provoke the right army? If those Buddhists are really careful, they should tell Gu that although the Tianfang believers have not many troops stationed in cities such as Babna, they are elite soldiers and must not go south easily. We have sent
Although my careful work can detect the number of people and horses, I cannot detect whether they are elite soldiers." Zhu said again.
"I don't know how to explain this matter." Sheng Yong said calmly.
When Zhu heard this, he was about to say something more, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. He stopped talking and motioned to others not to make any noise. He listened for a while and suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop!"
"Your Highness, what happened?" the guard on horseback following the carriage asked.
"There are no birds chirping! There are no birds chirping in the forest beside the road!" At this time, Sheng Yong also reacted and said loudly.
The guards were shocked when they heard this and wanted to order the army to stop marching. But at this moment, countless arrows with shining silver light were shot at the soldiers from the forest on both sides of the road!
