Jiang Chuan Yingmin slowly recounted the tragic battle scene when he was fighting in India. Modern warfare is really different from the war of the cold weapon era. Sometimes you don't even see the shadow of the enemy army, and you get shot by their skirmishers.

　　When the two sides entered the fighting distance, there were shotgun shots constantly firing. One shot came over and it was a fan. The person who laughed in the morning, heard a loud noise, and lost a leg or even a life.

　　Perhaps, the samurai is already behind the times...

　　 "If it's okay to recruit people as soldiers, if you use soldiers as soldiers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with in the future." Jiangchuan Yingmin shook his head and said such a big truth.

　　The scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger. I used to think about the battle of more than two million people in the Crimea Peninsula. I'm afraid it might be a little fake. After a trip to India, I know that tens of thousands of people are just waiting for the battle. It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of insurgents near Delhi, and there are no fewer than hundreds of thousands of insurgents everywhere.

　　 After the shogunate encounters such a big war, will it still rely on the samurai alone? Those who only rely on the Miao word for a sword? After two or three battles are fought, the loss of this personnel may not be able to make up for it.

　　 At this time, they had replaced the recruits of the mission team who had gone to India. They were being driven by Viscount Canning and Alcock to go to Delhi, the capital of the Mughal dynasty of India, to participate in a brutal siege.

　　 Of course, in fact, it was not only the mission team being driven up, but the other British troops were also the same. It may be added here that the Sikhs in Punjab did not participate in the uprising. The Hindu and Little White Hat leaders who led the uprising all wanted to restore the old feudal order and rule.

　　 Under the rule of these two sects, Sikhism was suppressed in the third class and fourth class, and even the golden temple of the sacred place of Sikhism was repeatedly destroyed by the leaders of the little white hat sect. The most recent reconstruction of the Golden Temple was more than 20 years ago.

Therefore, the Sikhs think it is better to be under the rule of the British. At least under the rule of the British, Sikhism, Hinduism and Little White Hat are the same. British colonists treat the three equally, or treat them all. As a "subject", ha ha.

　　 So the plan of Viscount Canning was realized. The British army from Persia successfully passed through Afghanistan and Punjab, and threatened the west of Delhi. In addition, a large number of Sikh infantry also participated in the British siege and counterattack of Delhi. It is said that their strength exceeds six regiments.

　　 Viscount Canning, who commanded the Gurkha infantry and the transfer team, after conquering Kanpur, sent troops to respond to the British army from Mumbai and joined the siege of Delhi.

　　 Under the scorching sun, Delhi, the center city of the Indian rebels, fell under siege.

　　 The commander-in-chief of defending the city and the commander of the insurrection army, Bahd Khan, was still calm and began to command the tens of thousands of insurgents remaining in the city against the encircling British army.

　　 He has already detected it, and the total strength of the British army is only 15,000, and they are also divided between the east and the west. The British army to the west consisted of British veterans and Sikh infantry who had withdrawn from the Crimean Peninsula, while the British army to the east consisted of Gurkha infantry and Japanese mercenaries. Comparing the two, it is natural that the British army in the east is more vulnerable.

　　Bahd Khan did not defend the city wall, and took the initiative to go out of the city to meet the British army. Although the Gurkha Infantry Regiment and the Transition Team are not top-notch infantry, at least they are all troops trained by the British army, and Viscount Canning also carried more than 30 cannons as firepower to siege the city.

　　Since the rebels are out of the city, the artillery will fire the rebels first. The native soldiers in the rebel army were barely able to lead the artillery attack, and those civilians who temporarily joined the rebellion did not have this ability.

　　 The earthwork who commanded the transfer team looked at the flaws, and with Alcock's consent, launched an attack on the rebels who were out of the city. If you fight civilians with a regular army, or fight in the wild with no barricades concealed, the outcome is obvious.

　　The rebel army was defeated and returned to the city!

　　 Originally thinking of the British teams that could enter the city smoothly, they suddenly entered the city, only to realize that they were wrong, a big mistake. Bakhd Khan was not discouraged by his temporary failure, and he actually commanded the rebel army to start street fighting.

　　 Then the cruel strangulation began, and the lives of the soldiers on both sides, like the declining grass on the wasteland after autumn, were harvested by death's sickle in patches. With every breath, soldiers died in battle, perhaps the rebel army, or the British army.

　　 Alas, at such a critical moment, Muhammad Shah, who was championed by the insurgents as emperor, had a tendency to surrender, and his son Mirza Mohar secretly hooked up with the British. After obtaining false assurances from the British, he commanded some soldiers and stepped aside.

　　Street fighting lasted for six days, the insurgents failed...

　　The British army that entered the city immediately began mass murder and destruction. In order to warn the people of India, the British quickly arrested the emperor and shot and killed his sons Mirza Mohal, Mirza Hazl Sultan and grandson Mirza Abu Bakr~www.mtlnovel .com~ This caused all the immediate heirs of the Mughal dynasty to die, and the Mughal dynasty became extinct.

　　 It's not hard to imagine the bad things behind, and the destruction of Delhi cannot be stopped. But to the surprise of Viscount Canning, who commanded the British attack, the British army lost a full 5,000 men in this cruel siege.

　　Although most of the dead are not native British soldiers, the loss rate is really terrifying. The three-year-old Tufang who commanded the offensive was no longer surprised, but fear and worry.

　　 After the battle, the new recruits of the training team who followed him across the ocean from Yokohama died directly more than 500, most of them were killed in street fighting. Many people don't even know how they died, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

　　 He brought only three thousand people, and now more than five hundred are dead, and there are almost that number of wounded. Only one thousand nine hundred are left who can carry guns normally. What a war, this is simply sending the lives of soldiers into the abyss of death.

　　 The shocked Tufang was three years old, and he immediately planned to write a military newspaper to report the details of the Delhi siege to the shogunate. Not to mention that the British did not regard the hired mission team as human beings, and desperately drove the soldiers of the mission team to attack the city.

　　 Just talking about the intensity of this war is beyond imagination. If you continue to fight such a tough battle, even if you recruit a total of 6,000 people this time, I am afraid it will not be enough to fill this pit of the dead.

　　 I hope that the old and middle-aged people in Edo can come up with some countermeasures. There is no good way to deal with this situation when he is three years old.
