Chapter 353: Annihilation of the Mughal Army

"Then what should we do next? Should we continue the attack?" Harguta asked.

"Mandalay's walls are too high, and a forced attack would cause huge losses. To reduce the losses, we must build siege equipment."

"Order the craftsmen in the camp to immediately build ladders and catapults."

"Yes!"

Harguta immediately went down to make arrangements.

Soon, the military craftsmen took action.

They went to the nearby mountains and forests, cut down trees, and used them to make ladders.

After five days, hundreds of ladders and more than ten catapults were built.

"Pass the order down, smash it hard!"

Aragorn gave the order.

Suddenly, more than ten catapults launched a massive bombardment on the city of Mandalay.

Rumble!

Huge rocks kept falling from the sky, smashing into the city of Mandalay, stirring up countless smoke and dust.

The entire city was shaking violently, and some soldiers were unable to dodge and were directly hit.

The city wall was also hit by several huge stones, causing some damage.

However, the walls of Mandalay are very strong.

This level of damage has little impact.

"Order the soldiers to disperse and not gather together."

Seeing this, Yue Fei gave orders decisively.

If you want to smash it, then go ahead and do it. The longer you delay, the better it is for you.

"Yes!"

Soon, the soldiers evacuated immediately and stayed away from the catapults.

"Aim your trebuchets at the city walls! I want to see how long they can hold out!"

Aragorn, unaware that he was getting closer to death, snorted coldly and gave the order again.

shhhhhh!

Huge rocks continued to fly and hit the city wall.

Bang bang bang!

For a moment, the area outside Mandalay was filled with smoke, debris was flying everywhere, and the city was in a mess.

But the city of Mandalay is as stable as a rock.

After a whole day of bombing, the city wall still stood firm, only slightly damaged.

"Continue the bombing tomorrow. I don't believe the city walls won't fall down." Aragorn gritted his teeth.

Can the city wall be blown down?

Of course.

But it takes time.

It would take at least ten days or half a month to build such a strong city wall.

But does he have the chance?

Obviously not.

Time passed slowly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

After ten days of heavy bombardment, Aragorn finally saw the light.

The front wall of Mandalay is covered with dense cracks and seems like it will collapse with a slight touch.

"Hahaha, the capture of Mandalay is just around the corner."

"Order to prepare. Once the wall collapses, attack immediately."

Aragorn couldn't help but get excited.

What he didn't know was.

At this moment, Ning Quan's army had arrived behind him, less than twenty miles away from him.

He no longer has a chance.

......

As night fell, Ning Quan led his army and quietly approached the Mughal camp.

At the same time, Yue Fei in the city had already made preparations and was quietly waiting for the moment to attack.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, the earth shook and shouts came into my ears.

The originally peaceful night suddenly erupted into deafening shouts and cries of killing.

"Attack!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yue Fei immediately gave orders.

He then opened the city gate and led the army to rush quickly towards the enemy camp.

At this time, Ning Quan's cavalry had already rushed into the Mughal camp and was quickly taking the lives of the enemy.

Because they were completely unprepared, the Mughal army was unable to withstand Ning Quan's army. In an instant, they suffered heavy casualties and were completely defeated.

"Damn it! It's the Daqian Empire's cavalry! Where did they come from?"

"Quick, organize a counterattack, we must hold on!"

Aragorn roared.

He looked at the murderous cavalry in front of him in disbelief, having never expected that a Daqian army would appear behind him.

And why didn't the scouts discover the enemy's whereabouts?

Little did he know that the scouts he sent out had already been killed by the Daqian scouts.

Ning Quan is the best at sneak attacks, so why wouldn't he kill the scout first?

"kill!"

On the battlefield, Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba killed everyone in their path and were invincible.

With just two people, they were able to terrify the enemy and leave them with no power to resist at all.

Under the leadership of the two of them, the army defeated the enemy with overwhelming force.

At this time, Yue Fei also led a large army to join the battlefield.

Under attack from both sides, the Mughal army led by Aragon collapsed completely.

For a moment, corpses were everywhere and blood was flowing everywhere.

In just one hour, Aragorn and his army were completely destroyed.

Aragorn also died in the chaos.

In this battle, Ning Quan wiped out 400,000 elite troops of the Mughal Empire in one fell swoop, which is definitely a cause for celebration.

Without 400,000 elite soldiers, the Mughal Empire would inevitably suffer a great loss of strength.

This laid a solid foundation for the subsequent attack on the Mughal Empire.

..........

"Your Majesty, we won!"

Yue Fei rode his horse galloping to Ning Quan's side and said happily.

"Yeah, we won!"

Ning Quan nodded and smiled.

They won this battle without a doubt.

"Let's go into the city and discuss how to attack the Mughals."

Soon, everyone returned to Mandalay City.

After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion and sitting down, Ning Quan called everyone together to discuss the matter.

"We won this battle very easily, with almost no losses to our army."

"In that case, we can attack the Mughals as soon as possible without any rest."

"General Bai Qi of Beiting is facing tremendous pressure. The war here must be resolved as soon as possible."

Ning Quan spoke.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem in attacking the Mughals immediately."

"General Yue and I can split our forces into two groups. This will speed up the process, but there's one thing we must do. The follow-up troops must keep up."

"Otherwise, I and others will have to divide our forces to garrison the occupied territories, causing the army's strength to dwindle."

Li Jing reminded.

"Well, General Li is right. Don't worry, Generals. Reinforcements will surely follow."

"Three hundred thousand reinforcements will arrive in half a month at most. I also plan to transfer Prime Minister Zhangsun to Mandalay to be in charge of the rear and provide you with all support."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Yue Fei, Li Jing and others clasped their fists and said.

"Speaking of offensive matters, I have an idea. I want to open up a third front to speed up the offensive."

"The third front?"

"I wonder what Your Majesty plans to do?" Yue Fei asked in confusion.

"We have a ready-made navy fleet now, so why not use it?"

Ning Quan said slowly.

"Your Majesty, do you mean a sea landing?"

"This is a good idea. It is indeed easier to surprise the enemy and win by landing at sea than by land because the enemy will never expect it." Yue Fei agreed.

"Your Majesty, which direction do you plan to land from?" Li Jing said after a moment of hesitation.

"The specific direction and location will be decided by you. You can land wherever you think is suitable." Ning Quan waved his hand, indicating that they can make their own choice.
