"Wasim, another notification has been sent!" A trembling voice sounded: "It's bad news!"
"What bad news?" Wasim's voice also trembled, and his arms were trembling so much that he did not dare to take the notice from the man's hand.
“I don’t know what happened, but the army of the Qin Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty suddenly passed through the mountains of Afghanistan, came to Khyber, and came to the gate of Peshawar. The garrison of Peshawar was not prepared at all. While resisting the Ming army, they sent people for help.
General Naidimu, who was besieging the Tafantingfan army of the Ming Dynasty, immediately led his troops back to rescue. But what he didn't expect was that Ming Dynasty Zhu Shangbing's idea was to lure General Naidimu into leading troops to rescue and take the opportunity to ambush the reinforcements. General Naidimu
He was also a little careless and was ambushed by the Ming army, and all the reinforcements he led were wiped out."
"The reinforcements led by General Nedim were completely wiped out!" Wasim took a breath. Nedim was originally the guard of Peshawar City.
Yi De ordered him to participate in the siege of the Ming army and command 40,000 troops. The reinforcements he led were completely annihilated, which meant that the 40,000 soldiers were annihilated.
This was a huge loss for the Delhi Sultanate. In the past, the total strength of Tianfang believers in the Delhi Sultanate was only more than 200,000. Before sending troops to support Bangladesh, it recruited another 100,000 Tianfang believers as soldiers. But these people are still new recruits, at least within a year.
It can be used to defend the city, but it cannot be dragged out to fight the Ming army in the field. After losing nearly 100,000 soldiers in Bengal, the field troops that the Delhi Sultanate can use are only more than 100,000. The loss of 40,000 is enough to make the Delhi Sultanate unsustainable.
The encirclement of the soldiers of Ting Fan and Ta Fan.
"Zhu Shangbing seems to know very well what is most important in order to win the war. It is not how many cities are captured, but the annihilation of the enemy's army. I remember a proverb from the Ming Dynasty: If you save the land, you will lose everyone, and if you save the people, you will lose the land.
This sentence makes sense. In particular, the Delhi Sultanate still rules many Brahmans. The number of soldiers has decreased. Not only can it no longer be able to maintain the siege of the Tingfantafan army on the front line, but the number of soldiers maintaining order in the rear also has to be reduced.
"It's hard to say what these Brahmins will do. Perhaps some Brahmins or Kshatriyas who were bullied too harshly in the past will incite the lower caste Brahmins to rebel. That would make the situation even more dangerous." After hearing the report, Sarha also
He looked surprised, but couldn't help praising Zhu Shangbing afterwards.
"Which country are you from and what religion do you believe in? How can you praise the enemy!" Wasim suddenly shouted to him loudly.
Salha didn't answer. He knew that Wasim was having trouble accepting the truth for a while, so he wanted to vent, so he just commented a few words and then started to curse. He cherished his life very much and didn't want to lose it like this.
On the way, he kept thinking about how to escape; when he angered Wasim, he was worried that Wasim couldn't help but chop himself.
After a while, he waited for Wasim to calm down and asked the person who sent the report: "Is there any other news?"
"There is no important news. It's just that the morale of the garrison in Peshawar was greatly reduced after seeing the reinforcements being wiped out. The Ming army violently attacked the city again, and the city may be lost soon. Sultan Said is adjusting the deployment of the army.
Continue to resist the invasion of the Ming army. By the way, the troops of the Ming Ta Fan Ting Fan are also mobilizing. It seems that there are fewer troops stationed on the north bank of the Langqin Zangbo River and preparing to cross the river to attack Simla City. Some soldiers are mobilized westward.
, probably to attack the city of Lahore in an east-west attack with the army moving south from Afghanistan. General Said has already prepared to send reinforcements to Lahore," the man answered.
"It should be to attack Lahore." Salha thought for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with Said's actions. He stopped thinking about it and said to Wasim: "Wasim, there is one thing I don't want to do.
I know if Said has thought of it, you can remind him. Just seven or eight days ago, the news from Afghanistan was that Shaharul and Zhu Shangbing were in a stalemate. How could the Ming army suddenly come to India through Afghanistan?
Shaharul's ability to command and fight is not weak, and the terrain of Afghanistan is very suitable for defense, so the Ming army should not defeat him so quickly." Sarha said to Wasim again.
"You mean, Shaharul surrendered to the Ming Kingdom, or became a vassal state to the Ming Kingdom?" Wasim was very surprised: "This is impossible, he has a blood feud with the Ming Kingdom, how could he surrender to the Ming Kingdom or become a vassal state?
A vassal state! And the Ming Kingdom may not believe his sincerity and accept his surrender."
"This is indeed difficult to explain, but apart from this, I really can't think of the reason why Zhu Shangbing could lead the army through Afghanistan so quickly. I think you'd better tell Said this guess." Salha said.
"You are right, you should tell Sultan Sayed. I will write to the Sultan immediately." Wasim couldn't help but said. But he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Aren't you not loyal to the Delhi Sultanate? Moreover, you are not loyal to the Delhi Sultanate."
Because Said was once Timur's general and was somewhat hostile to him, how could he be willing to speak out and help fight the war?" During this period, Wasim had figured out Salha's true thoughts and knew that he preferred the Ming Dynasty and North India.
Both Tianfang believers and the country perished together, so why are they now speaking out to help fight the war?
"Compared with Said, I hate the Ming Dynasty more and I absolutely don't want the Ming Dynasty to occupy India. Now that the coalition forces of the Delhi Sultanate and the Bahmani Sultanate are in a weak position, of course I have to help them. And, can I survive?
It will be decided by Said. I don’t want to die yet, but of course I want him to see my usefulness and not kill me,” Salha said.
"When I just met you, I thought you were such a great general, but I didn't expect you to be such a person who is afraid of death." Wasim accepted the reason, but laughed at him. Salha did not answer.
He just took the notice over again and opened it to read.
Wasim calmed down his emotions, ate the meal cooked by the chef again, and ordered the ship to continue to the city of Delhi.
In the next few days, there were daily reports on the latest developments on the battlefield. Wasim would show it to Salha every day, listen to his opinions, and then write a letter and send someone to deliver it to Delhi as quickly as possible.
.
But there has been no reply from the city of Delhi. Not only the letters sent by Wasim these days, but also the documents he reported before to bring Salha back to Delhi for Said to deal with. There was no reply in Wasim's heart.
He was very uneasy, but he didn't dare to ask. He had also been worried about the situation on the front line, whether the Ming army in Bangladesh had attacked the city of Rajshahi and sent heavy troops northward, etc.
But a few days later, he finally no longer had to be so anxious, because he was about to arrive in Delhi and meet Said.
