Chapter 430: Defeat and flee

Although Marlborough wanted to withdraw his troops, his actions were not active. Instead, he waited for nearly ten days in Patna before starting to order the entire army to be prepared and then retreat eastward. At this time, Yuzhong's army had set out from Dhaka to the west, advancing straight to attack Ashansol, an important city in northeastern India. As long as Yuzhong occupied the place again, with his troops and deterrence to the local forces, it could completely cut off the connection between the Bangladesh and western India. In other words, even if Yuzhong did not advance after conquering Ashansol, Marlborough would not retreat from Mumbai, as long as he wanted to return to Kolkata, he would have to compete with Yuzhong at the city of Asansol.

However, at this time, the Qing army stationed in Yangbu, the capital of Nepal, began to feel a little excited.

……………………

Yangbu's Qing army was divided into two parts. One part was the Qing army originally stationed in India, which was under the management of the tenth prince Yinzhen; the other part was Orondai, the Nepal garrison minister stationed in Nepal. Originally, Marlborough had 50,000 coalition forces and nearly 20,000 Indian troops heading towards Yangbu, and the two were still worried, fearing that they would not be able to face the other side's forces several times their strength. If Yangbu was lost, it would be equivalent to leaving the door to Tibet. Such a huge responsibility would definitely not be able to bear even as their identities.

However, at this time, the news of Yu Zhong's troops sent from Myanmar came, and then, not long after, the news of Marlborough's withdrawal was also sent to Yangbu.

Under this situation, Oroqdai and I began to think about it.

Yinzhi, I was the tenth son of Kangxi. If these princes talk about their origins, they never compare their fathers, because they are all the same. Therefore, they generally have to compare their biological mother's identity and the power of their family in the court. It is obvious that Yinzhi, among the more than 20 sons of Kangxi, I was almost as noble as the original crown prince Yinreng, because their mothers were both from the family of the ministers left by Shunzhi. They both served as queens... However, this noble origin did not play any role in Yinzhi. Among the many sons in Kangxi, there were almost no mediocre people. However, Yinzhi, I have always been called "Ten Bags".

Yinzhen, am I really a fool? Of course not! Otherwise, he would not have curled up with the eighth prince Yinsi, who was considered noble among the princes. As long as he wanted, he could even establish his own party. With the power of his mother, he could also make trouble in the court like other brothers. However, he did not do so. Because he had self-knowledge. The position in the Qianqing Palace was not something he could sit on, but he was not willing to be lonely, so in the end he decided to choose a hopeful among the brothers to surrender. However, the crown prince Yinreng was too arrogant and had no responsibility.

Yin Gan I thought I looked down on that kind of person. Besides the prince, Yinzhen, the eldest prince, has always been proud of himself. He has become a force and basically does not interfere with other princes. Therefore, he chose to choose. He defected to the eighth prince, who is sleek and righteous. In his opinion, even if the eighth prince could not become the emperor in the end, he could make a prince with their power, and he was a solid prince! Even if this was not possible, could the new emperor still kill his prince, the prince with his huge mother clan? Therefore, he was not afraid of failure at all!

However, I didn't expect that one day Kangxi would actually have a "fairing"!

You should know that this so-called "feudal system" once caused more than half of the 800-year-old Zhou Dynasty to fall into wars between the princes, and also caused the Han Dynasty to bear the pain of the "Rebellion of the Seven Kings", and even caused the "Jingnan Campaign" of the previous generation of the Ming Dynasty to appear in Liao!

However, this is also an opportunity.

The prince was deposed in a plot against the chaos, and the eldest prince Yinzhen went to North America... Instead of staying in Beijing and doing nothing, Kangxi would have to take care of this and that, it would be better to rely on the Qing Dynasty behind him and develop it elsewhere. Maybe he would be an amazing monarch in the future.

But where is the best place to go?...Luzon was taken away by his second son. North America was still a wilderness. Others were interested in going there to open up wasteland. His dignified prince was unwilling to suffer! As for the north... it was snowy and snowy, and he could not see anyone for thousands of miles. He was a lively person. If he went there, he would not be suffocated to death? So, seeing that Kangxi intended to let the ninth prince Yinzhen take charge of India, he immediately started to make trouble. Since the "Eighth Master Party" was about to disperse, of course he had to find a good future for himself. India is India, and the rumors of "prosperity" have been spread in Middle-earth for hundreds of years. Where can I go if I don't go there? How can such a good thing be left to the ninth son alone?

So, he came to India even though he was alive.

But the Westerners didn't let him have a good time, and they actually tried to defeat him in India with the intention of several times his military success...

Although he retreated to Yangbu early, this does not prove that Yinyi I am a "customed and courteous" person. Similarly, compared to Yinyi I, the Nepal garrison Minister Orondee, is a master who cannot suffer. In this world, except for Yu Zhong who has punished him, Tong Guowei has scolded him, and even Kangxi has never spoken to him with a bad voice!

So, when I heard that Yu Zhong finally led his troops to rush over from the Westerners, Oroqdai and I immediately joined forces with Yu Zhong to give the Westerners the idea of ​​attacking each other on both sides... The Qing Dynasty was not as good as military merits. If I could win on the battlefield, I believed that I would definitely be able to beat Yinzhen and eventually squeeze the ninth prince away in India, but Oroqdai had long since wanted to stay in Nepal. Watching others make a fortune in India, but he could only hide in Nepal to watch. This was simply torture. So, he wanted to transfer himself through military merits. Even if he couldn't be a local overlord in India, he could be transferred back to China!

……………………

Yinzhen and Oroqdai are both people who do it at will. After a brief consideration, they handed over Yangbu to Oroqdai's deputy general. Then, they led more than 10,000 troops from Yangbu, passed Birgenje, and quickly drove to Muzaffarpur in northern India. At this time, because they set out late and had been working on the road, Marlborough was less than two hundred miles away from Patna.

Moreover, since the European Union went east along the Ganges River, the coalition forces, the Qing army and Patna almost formed an equilateral triangle. This means that the army of Marlborough, Yinyi and Oroqendai were only more than 200 miles apart.

……………………

"Defeated?"

Asansol connects important transportation hubs in Bangladesh and western India. Yuzhong has just built this place, and is quietly listening to the news that his subordinates are inquiring from elsewhere.

“That’s right.

The Grand Marshal... The Tenth Prince and General Orolongtai underestimated the enemy too much and captured the trick of seducing the enemy by the commander of the Western Kou. They were entangled by the enemy's infantry, and finally the rear was led by the other cavalry. They had to be defeated. Marlborough sent troops to pursue him from behind... Now the whereabouts of the two are unknown, and I heard that there are less than two thousand people around them! Moreover, the road back to Yangbu seems to have been blocked by the people sent by Marlborough!"

In India, both the coalition and the Qing army were outsiders that could be seen at a glance, but this could not stump both sides. Especially since Yu Zhong had been operating here for several years, it was very simple to find some local scouts.

"Where is unknown?...Master General. Please send troops to rescue him immediately!" Although Yinxiang was kept holding his breath, he was helpless. However, after hearing the news of his brother's whereabouts, he had to worry. No matter what, I said, I am still a prince. If something happened, this matter would not be as simple as fighting a war.

"Hmph! When the Westerners first came, I warned them to shrink their troops, defend tightly, and not attack easily. Now they don't listen to their advice and are defeated by others, and they deserve it!

Why should I send troops to rescue me?" Yu Zhong snorted coldly. Yinzhen Orondee's troops and horses are used to defend the passage between India and Tibet. Although the troops are several times less than Marlborough, it is enough to defend Yangbu. But the two guys are eager to make contributions and send troops regardless of the consequences... They are simply bastards. You know, in this land of India, they are all outsiders. More than 10,000 people were defeated. If they cannot gather again in a short time, even if one of these more than 10,000 people is not dead, it will be equivalent to annihilation of the entire army. Because Yu Zhong never believes that those Indians will let them all retreat to Yangbu alive. Those Indians dare not touch the army. Can't even deal with some of the defeated soldiers?

"Master... Since the Western Corps has defeated the Tenth Brother, Orolongtai and the others will definitely advance and attack Yangbu. But now Yangbu is short of troops. If you don't send troops to force the Western Corps to retreat, if Yangbu is captured by him, then the gate of Tibet will be opened. No one can afford this responsibility!" Seeing Yu Zhong's angry look, he also expressed his unwillingness to send troops to rescue Orolongtai and I, Yinxiang hurriedly knelt down and begged. Although he had little deep feelings for Yinbu, he saw that his brother was in danger and did not save him. He could not do such a thing and did not dare to do it.

"Yangbu's troops are insufficient, and there is Tibet behind them. Not to mention whether the Westerners can beat Nepal, even if they have fought... Humph, if they dare to invade Tibet, they will definitely be wiped out. India is far away from Middle-earth, and the distance is too far. Even if the court sends troops, it will be limited in number. But if they go to fight Tibet, it will be like putting themselves in the fist of the court and being beaten! Since Marlborough is a famous European general, he will not be confused about this principle, and he will never dare to take this risk." Yu Zhongleng said.

"Even if the Westerners dare not invade Tibet, General Manager, we can't watch the Tenth Prince and Orolongtai lose so much! If there is a problem, the court will ask about it in the future and we will be a serious crime!" The veteran Yang Tianzong didn't seem to be a false aura when he saw Yu Zhong, for fear that the other party would be angry and ignored the consequences, so he couldn't help but persuade him.

"Hmph, of course I don't dare to watch the two of them go without caring about it... But, what should I do? Send troops? Where can I find them? India is so big, and we have just conquered various forces in Bangladesh. Going forward, those local kings are following the Westerners to rebel against the court, and there are Westerners in the army there, so they won't be scared by us so easily. At that time, if one is not good, maybe even we will fall into it. Who should I explain to at that time? Ah?" Yu Zhong asked.

"Master, have you been a little scared when you saw the Westerners easily defeating Brother Ten and others?" The Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen suddenly sneered.

"That's right. I'm afraid...why, can't it be?" Yu Zhong asked with a glaring look.

"You..." No one would admit in public that he was afraid of anyone, especially men. It was even more impossible for him to lead tens of thousands of generals like Yu Zhong. Therefore, as long as Yu Zhong said that he was not afraid, Yinzhen could immediately continue to rush and never give up without forcing Yu Zhong to send troops. However, he did not expect that Yu Zhong would actually dare to admit in public that he was afraid, and suddenly, he lost his words.

"I only know how to rush everything, but I don't know how to use my brain at all!" Looking at Yinzhen's angry face, Yu Zhong scolded again: "What is threat? Do you understand? What is the use of sending troops at this time? The more I sending troops at this time, the more I will make things more chaotic!"

"Then what should we do? Dashen, we can't sit here and wait, right?" Song Ai asked.

"What's wrong with waiting? I'm here, so others dare not ignore it! The Tenth Prince and Orondee have some soldiers and horses, and they must be elite. As long as these people don't disperse, the small Indians will definitely not do anything to them. As for those who have some power, they dare not risk being eliminated by us to deal with them! Therefore, the more calm we are, the less life-threatening the Tenth Prince and the others are!" Yu Zhong looked at Yinxiang and Yinzhen coldly, and continued.

"But if..." Yinxiang said carefully. Yu Zhong's scolding made him feel uncomfortable. However, the one in danger was his brother!

"What if? Heng, why don't they think about it when they send troops? Since I can't say that I can't send troops, I won't send troops! No one of the generals can leave Ashansol without stepping away! Those who dare to disobey orders will be killed!" After Yu Zhong said coldly, he turned around and walked out. The generals looked at his back, but did not dare to chase him and continue to plead for mercy. Yu Zhong never easily said harsh words. Since he said this now, it would be useless to discuss it.

...

"Master General! There is a military newspaper coming from behind!" As soon as Yu Zhong walked out of the house, he was blocked by a soldier.

"Rear Military Report? What's the matter?" Yu Zhong asked.

"Master General... Jingzhou General Song Zhu sent an envoy to report that 30,000 reinforcements from Huguang have arrived in Avier and will arrive in Dhaka soon!"
