Chapter 1098: Complete Defeat, Formation of a New Situation

在密集的火炮攻势下，战象的铠甲被击碎，被冲击得血肉横飞，骨骼绷断。
One elephant fell down screaming in agony, and the others nearby were knocked down.
Soon, nearly a hundred war elephants were hit.
Panic began to spread, as the elephants no longer obeyed the commands of their handlers and instead fled in terror.
In the midst of the army, they trampled on infantry soldiers one by one, knocking down groups of cavalry.
No matter how the commanders ordered, they no longer obeyed.
明军的火炮还在继续，一颗颗炮弹要么砸在大象身上，要么砸在步兵或者骑兵身上。
明军这边的步兵师虽说在莫卧儿的火炮攻击下，也损失不小，甚至有几个团崩溃了。
但整体上却在往前推移，配合还在狂冲的骑兵，明显压制住了莫卧儿大军。
崇祯用望远镜慢慢扫过战场，右路的战场也开始了，只不过规模很小，并不影响大局。
The Mughal defeat is already certain.
But this is only the beginning, the forthcoming slaughter is the main course.
It is necessary to quickly destroy the Mughal's vitality, break their backbone, and then dismember the entire South Continent.
The South Continent is in a stage of power division, which is best for the Ming Dynasty.
India is suitable for farming and has a vast consumer population base.
It also has excellent harbors.
All these achievements far exceed the investment made in this war.
Chongzhen sat back down, took a sip of tea, and said, "Spread the order, light cavalry to launch a flanking attack on the enemy general."
“父皇，我要去！”
崇祯犹豫了一下，说道：“你小心一点。”
Zhu Yanlin was pleasantly surprised and immediately followed Yan Yingyuan out of the city gate.
"Princess, I will arrange special people to protect you."
"You don't need to disrupt the rhythm for my sake."
Zhu Yanlin dressed in military attire, mounted his horse with a quick flip.
As Princess His Highness joined the expedition, people became excited one after another.
This light cavalry of about 8,000 men quickly detours and completely avoids the battlefield, heading towards the rear of Shah Jahan Khan.
The Mughal army's major defeat has become inevitable, and now a sense of collapse dominates the battlefield.
A vast number of routed soldiers stretched as far as the eye could see, with even more discarding their helmets and armor to flee.
"We have been defeated, flee quickly!"
"The Emperor has also fled, we have been abandoned!"
"I surrender, please don't kill me!"
“……”
Zhu Yanlin saw a group of soldiers dressed in bright and fancy uniforms but with a panicked expression as he crossed the jungle ahead.
She quickly caught up with them and intercepted the path of the horsemen.
After a brief battle, the horsemen were defeated and surrendered to the Ming cavalry.
However, Shah Jahan is not among them.
Under interrogation, it was revealed that Shah Jahan had taken another route with his men.
Immediately, Zhu Yanlin split his forces into two and pursued.
In the evening, Chongzhen took a short rest in the palace in Delhi city. When he woke up, he received a victorious report from Hong Chengchou.
到第二天傍晚，杀敌的总人数才呈报上来，一共杀敌179879人。
几乎杀了一大半。
鲜血汇聚成河，漂浮起人头和软甲。
The entire battlefield is like a human hell.
At night, the Ming army started to burn the corpses on a large scale to prevent the spread of disease.
Chongzhen started to worry because Zhu Yanlin had not returned.
That night, Chongzhen stayed awake all night, dispatching a large number of troops and horses to search for something.
He regretted letting Zhu Yanlin go out, and he began to feel extremely anxious.
On the morning of the third day, just when Chongzhen was impatient, Zhu Yanlin returned.
@@"Father Emperor!"
@Chongzhen immediately stepped forward and hugged his daughter:"If you didn't come back, I would have gone crazy!"
“父皇，让您担忧了。”
“没事，回来就好，回来就好，有没有受伤？”
“没事，儿臣没有受伤，父皇，抓住了，儿臣抓住了沙贾汗。”
"Whether we catch him or not doesn't matter, it's best if you can come back."
"Father, you don't have to worry about me. I've grown up, I have my own judgment, my own ideas." Zhu Yanlin took Chongzhen's hand and started walking out, showing great excitement. "Father, come with me and see for yourself. It's your child who will personally capture Shah Jahan."
崇祯感觉朱彦霖跟自己年轻的时候简直一模一样。
充满了对未知世界的好奇，充满了活力，充满了不服输的冲击。
还充满了对事物的征服欲望！
He did not know if this was a good thing.
When he arrived outside the palace, at the entrance, Chongzhen saw Shah Jahan, the dominant ruler of South Asia, who was bound.
There was still a hint of arrogance on his face, but there was also a noticeable sense of decadence after facing setbacks.
崇祯看着沙贾汗，沙贾汗看着崇祯。
The translator said in Mongolian, "Before you stands the ruler of the world, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
沙贾汗一听到这个身份，整个惊呆住了。
他到现在才知道，明军居然是明朝皇帝亲征。
This is something he would never have expected.
"Why?" he looked at Chongzhen puzzled.
Why?
"Mughal Empire is so far away from Ming Dynasty, why did you go through the trouble of launching such a large-scale war?"
Have you eaten until you're full?
Chongzhen laughed and said, "I sent an envoy over."
Shajahan suddenly remembered that he had met a Ming envoy last year.
Back then, he had even mocked the Ming envoy in the presence of his ministers.
At that time, the Ros delegation was also present.
"Is it because I did not treat your envoy with respect?"
"Not only did you not treat my envoy with respect, but one of my envoys also died here!"
"In addition, the Russians are attempting to invade our western territories. They are enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Not only have you harmed our ambassador, but you also intend to join forces with the Russians?"
"No, no, no, I did not ally with the Russians."
"No, you do!"
“I don't have!"
“朕说你有你就有！”
"You!" Shajahan is after all the Emperor of the Mughal Empire and used to being domineering. His words carry immense weight, and everyone around him agrees with him.
However, now he has encountered an emperor from a more powerful country, and he has also experienced what it means to be deterred.
But Shah Jahan does not believe that Chongzhen would launch such a large-scale war solely because of emissaries.
"I don't believe you because of the envoy's reasons. Are you trying to open up our trade?"
"Is it still important to you now?"
"If that's the case, I am willing to compromise and fully accept your trade. Let's achieve a peaceful resolution." I understand your proposal and willingness to compromise. Let's continue working towards resolving our differences and fostering a mutually beneficial trade relationship.
Chongzhen looked at him as if he were an idiot and said, "I will consider your proposal."
“不过你得先以你的名义，对方发一份公告。”
“什么公告？”
"Surrender announcement."
Shah Khan said, "Listen to me, the current situation is more complicated than you think. Defeating me does not mean you can win. The Persians are watching closely, they must have taken action."
