The tent was swirling white smoke, and there was only one brazier in the tent. The old man in a linen robe cut open the throat of a sheep with a dagger. Blood gushed out, filling half a copper basin. The boy and girl on the side poured something in. When they approached the brazier, a bang exploded, and the smoke was very strange.

Aurangzeb looked at the lingering disgust and asked, "How is it?"

"Everything goes well, and the Lord will protect you." said the old man.

Aurangzebu focused his head and walked out of the tent. Outside the tent, there were hundreds of generals and countless soldiers gathered. In front of them, Aurangzebu, who described the thin Aurangzebu, looked very small, but people looked at him and trusted him, so he was very majestic.

"Attack!" Aurangzeb did not give an extra speech, and ordered the war to be launched in one sentence.

In August of the 16th year of the empire, when the early morning came, the Mughals launched a full-scale attack. The wave of attack was forced to stop in the wide trench. Countless slaves threw the prepared firewood bundles and mud bags into the attack, and wanted to take out the road of attack. The Allies guarding at the fortifications immediately responded. Muskets and light cannons kept firing in the fortifications, and used lead bombs to harvest the lives of slaves. However, this did not hinder the Mughals' attack. Slaves were constantly driven up, and the bodies of dead and injured slaves were thrown into the trench like firewood. Some people who were not yet dead kept wailing inside.

The wide trench blocked the Mughals for ten days. The initial strong attack had no effect in front of firepower. Tens of thousands of slaves did not allow even an army to cross over. The attack through the trench made the numerical advantage of the weak Mughals with weak firepower not play a role, so the aggressive attack stopped that afternoon. In the evening, the slaves used firewood to secretly lay the groundwork with firewood and were busy all night. In the early morning, oil was splashed and burned all the fire. They could only use earth and rocks to re-work. In ten days, several attack channels were set aside.

It was on that morning that day that the Mughals saw four or five round balls rising from the depths of the Allied positions, and there were also portraits of various evil spirits and monsters. One of them was the most stunning, and it was painted into a demon's eyes, which made Mughal keep kneeling at it, causing the attack to be delayed. This was the hot air balloon observation point placed by the imperial army in a deep hot air balloon to observe the enemy's movements.

Obviously, these false paintings would not really cause harm to the Mughals. At least they were considered to be that the eyes of the demon's eyes had never emitted any deadly light. However, the existence of the hot air balloon observation post definitely changed the form of war. After tens of thousands of Mughals rushed through the rattle and entered the frontier position, they found that the entire frontier was covered with barbed wire, horse-rejected horses, caltrops, bamboo sticks and other traps, which forced the attack speed to stop. The observers on the hot air balloon recorded in detail the position of the enemy and passed it to the rocket battalion behind.

The rockets used by the Marines have developed to the third generation, and no longer use clumsy balance rods. Three inclined stable spiral plates have become tail wings. This kind of rocket can have a maximum range of more than ten miles. The black gunpowder loaded inside can destroy all life within a radius of 30 meters. The new rocket has nothing outstanding, and is even worse than the range and power of the second-generation rocket. The only thing it recognizes by the Navy and the Army is that it is cheap. This kind of rocket was originally used to deal with cities, but it is more powerful in the face of crowds densely scattered on the frontier.

So, on this morning, the rockets of the Empire were angry with the Chaoyang of the subcontinent. Fire dragons flew past the cleared fortifications and landed in the crowd. No flames landed on the ground and triggered a strong explosion. Huge roars and sparks splashed everywhere to destroy all obstacles on the position. The wood-made horses and stakes were not yet resisted, let alone the fragile human bodies. The shooting lasted for a moment, and at least tens of thousands of people were directly killed. The Mughal army, which was not within the coverage, was directly frightened and collapsed. Regardless of the spears and scimitars of the supervision team, they fled back. Some people were even scared to jump into the ravine ditch.

Later generations rumored that when a rocket exploded a fire dragon on the front, the Mughal emperor Aurangzebu was so scared that he peed his pants and rode on his horse and was about to escape. However, no one could prove this, but it was certain that it was not until noon after the attack that the emperor appeared in front of the formation, watching the Portuguese mercenaries wrapped in wet cloth and wearing iron-soled boots walking around the front with short spears in their hands, assassinating the bodies and wounded on the ground one by one.

Although the rocket launcher battalion consumed most of its reserves, it also achieved brilliant results, which made the Mughals calm for nearly twenty days. When the war continued twenty days later, Aurangzebu only dared to send small troops to advance, so as not to happen again, with heavy casualties. However, small-scale troops were not enough to open up the situation. Aurangzebu increased its efforts layer by layer and continued to increase its troops. It took a long time to confirm that there would be no second attack. Moreover, from the prisoners, we learned from the mouths that before the rocket was launched, our own troops in the middle must be withdrawn. Aurangzebu thus understood the use of this weapon.

It is precisely because of these that the two sides finally entered a fierce battle, but the war was still not friendly enough for Aurangzeb's army. Hot air balloons always floated in the air during the day, monitoring the little bits and pieces around dozens of miles. No army mobilization could escape their surveillance. As long as the army advanced forward and had not yet caught fire with the enemy, they would have to eat a meal of shells. It was a howitzer unit located in the depths. The head-sized shells fell and exploded, and all life was smashed with debris. An army of ten thousand people often collapsed after eating more than a dozen cannons, and the Mughals didn't even know where the enemy cannon was, and they could not fight back.

As for dispersing the army, it was even more useless. Facing the musketeers hiding behind the chest wall, the scattered army could not break through. The war lasted for a month and a half and then stopped. It was not that Aurangzebu had no soldiers, but that he was helpless. He attacked head-on and died. The three attacks had lost nearly 40,000 people, of which 15,000 were the army of the Tianfang Sect. Before there was no choice, he could only wait.

When the war reached this point, Lin Junhong was no longer questioned. Although the empire sent fewer soldiers than Marathi and Bijapur, and not even much more than the Portuguese, the rockets and artillery provided by the empire have become the main weapon to kill enemies. No one is willing to let the soldiers' flesh and blood be with the enemy Duizi. The empire with the least troops sent is already the mainstay of this alliance.

"This is the biggest failure since Aurangzeb became emperor. He has never died so many soldiers." Sivaji sat in the banquet hall of the castle and excitedly introduced to Lin Junhong and others that he was the only one among allies who had seen Aurangzeb and naturally knew the enemy the most. After he was defeated, he became a prince of the Mughals and was also under house arrest in Delhi City. It was also something that Shivaji talked about.

Lin Junhong raised his wine glass, toasted Shivaji, and asked, "His Highness Shivaji, in your judgment, will Aurangzeb discuss the truce with us on this?"

"Yes! He will, but that must be fake. Aurangzeb is an extremely cruel and conceited person. Even if he has a truce, he must win, but he will use this method. And what he wants most now is to kill everyone here. Those who he considers to be the enemy will eventually be unable to escape death." Shivaji said.

"Not this time, we have solid fortifications, magical artillery and flying demon eyes, as well as brave soldiers and sufficient supplies. Aurangzebu cannot defeat us." Aldisha II said proudly. He was the happiest at this moment. Being able to watch Aurangzebu's army disappear was really the happiest thing in his life.

Lin Junhong shook his head. Among all his allies, the richest one was naturally Aldisha II. After the artillery troops defeated the Mughals twice, he rewarded each soldier of the empire with one gold coin, and two artillery soldiers. After witnessing the strength of the artillery, he was willing to bear all the costs of purchasing artillery shells, which greatly reduced the military expenditure and did not have to worry about the consumption of artillery shells, because he, the arsenals in Penang and Ceylon, fully powered production of artillery shells and gunpowder, and then transported to Goa and assembled.

Juan is an excellent battlefield commander. In fact, the military commander of every overseas colony is good at fighting fortification defense warfare. This is the foundation of the colonists. Juan, who served in the Americas, Africa and the subcontinent for more than 30 years, has the richest experience. He and Doya are Lin Junhong's most trusted military adviser.

But among all, Lin Junhong still attaches more importance to Shivaji because this man is a hero, with prestige and practical experience. He has been against Mughals throughout his life, and he knows them very well.

Lin Junhong asked for advice and asked: "His Highness Shivaji, what should Aurangzeb do as you see?"

"He would declare peace with us, end the war, and establish a communication channel, and the surface of this channel would only contact you, the supreme commander, and in fact he would send letters to everyone in this banquet hall, even some independent lords and generals, and then promise various terms, territory, title, money and women, and everything you want, he would make us disagree and then collapse.

This is a common method Aurangzeb used and can work many times. We Marathis have suffered losses, but this time it is a little different because we are currently winners and are easily won. The advantaged side will not be so easy to surrender, but we have to be wary of this situation." Shivaji said.

Lin Junhong nodded. The strong castle was often broken from the inside. He knew this truth very well, but he could not control the other lord generals in the alliance. Anyone's rebellion could lead to the failure of this war. However, Lin Junhong was prepared for it because the core positions and materials were in his own hands. Even if all of them were rebelled, he could rely on Goa City and the surrounding core positions to complete the defense work and continue to consume with Aurangzebu. However, at that time, there would be many more imperial soldiers in the meat grinder.

"His Excellency Aldisha, do you think I'm right?" Shivaji looked at Aldisha.

At this time, Aldisha was playing with a howitzer model made of gold. When he heard Shivaji's words, he put down the model and asked Shivaji to repeat it again. His attitude was cynical and unhappy, but Shivaji was a person with outstanding temperament and mind. Faced with this situation, he was not angry at all, but repeated it seriously.

After hearing Shivaji's words, Aldisha II waved his fist and said, "You are right. His Highness Shivaji, there are too many traitors! The most hateful thing in this world is traitors. Every traitor wants to go to hell, and he will live or die!"

Obviously, Aldisha II also suffered from traitors, and Lin Junhong received the information when he inherited the throne. Aldisha II said: "The Mughal Empire is very powerful, they have many soldiers and are very rich, and Aurangzeb is famous. Someone will definitely be bewitched by him and become traitors. We have to guard against this."

Shivaji and Lin Junhong both laughed. Although Aldisha II had all kinds of problems, he still had something to do with him. At least he understood the truth. Shivaji said: "What you said is honored to have a common view with you. I have brought all the relatives of officers above a thousand people who participated in the war to a small town and handed them over to my son for care. Without family members, or the powerful and powerful people who were already in the occupied areas, have already been transferred from the army. This is everything I can think of now.

His Highness Aldisha, is there any better way you can do it?”

Aldisha II shook his head, let alone a better way, he didn't do anything Shivaji said. Now that he thought about it, he was worried and quickly wrote down the matter and said, "His Highness Shivaji, I will follow your example. This is for victory and respect for the hero!"

Shivaji said with honor and then said, "Aurangzeb would do some other things, such as sending elite cavalry across the Zuali River and harassing him."

"That has no effect, because we have troops on the other side of the river, and our supplies and military camps are protected. All they can rob are soil, hahaha." Juan said with a smile.
