Aurangzeb was really resourceful!
Not only did one daughter promise two husbands, but before Alim could hold Princess Nisha's hand, he asked Shesta Khan to sell Anusha Khan and Prince Alim in a letter.
If it hadn't been for Princess Nisha's daughter to have two husbands, King Sengge would not have paid any attention to Anusha Khan's troops who crossed the Turkic Mountains... They were crossing the mountains and attacking again, and it was impossible to pull many cannon. The guard city and the stone castle behind Sengge are both bastions, and Khujand City has also been turned into a bastion. The 56,000-strong army was gone in vain. It was a bastion guarded by muskets and artillery. How could it be broken? It can't be!
And Sengge has left enough troops in his lair! If his 60,000 pastoral households are fully mobilized, 100,000 people can be pulled out! Coupled with thousands of personal soldiers, he could mobilize at least a hundred thousand or more people. Now he only brought 33,000 soldiers and horses south, and the rest were guarding their homes. Anukdon, who is stationed at the Stone Castle King City alone, has 30,000 Jungar cavalry ready to attack at any time.
In addition, the letters of Galdan and Bahabandi have reached the hands of Sangha. So Seng Ge already knew that the acting king Zhu Cijiong was leading an army of 30,000 to come to the rescue, and 7,500 of the Young Guards were rushing to the Zhungeer Kingdom day and night...and this elite army was not sent from Yingtian Mansion. Instead, they were transferred from Wu Sangui's army in Shaanxi and could reach the Shibao King City before winter came.
Therefore, there will be no problems in Sengge's rear. Even if Anusha Khan rushes into Fergana, it will not matter - the entrance to Fergana is relatively wide and cannot be sealed by a Khujand city. But what can Anusha do when he enters the valley?
Without Fergana's food, the hundreds of thousands of Sengge's inner circle would not be hungry. The food they have on hand can last at least two to three years!
And it is impossible for Samarkand to sustain that long... As soon as Samarkand is obtained and Aurangzeb gets out, the passage to the Khwarezm Oasis will be opened!
As far as Sengge is concerned, he doesn't feel bad even if he kills all the people in the Fergana Basin, Anusha Khan can destroy them as he pleases!
But can Anusha Khan let Sengge go to the Khwarezm Oasis to kill people?
Therefore, Anusha Khan’s attack was actually unable to mobilize the Sangha!
But if the 27,000-strong army of the Sangha does not leave, Aurangzeb will not be able to leave either... Aurangzeb will take away not only the soldiers, but also a large number of craftsmen, common people and family members of the soldiers. It is said that there are four to five million people!
With so many people walking together, the speed must be very slow. It would be good to travel ten or twenty miles a day. If Sengge's cavalry chases them, is there any way to survive? In the end, it was God's blessing that Aurangzeb himself returned to India alive.
However, he would not end well if he returned to India empty-handed. He had been away from India for such a long time, and the sons and governors who stayed behind had already developed a strong influence!
Of course, if he drags 100,000 Central Asian Tianfang Sect thugs back to India aggressively, then nothing will be a problem. When the time comes, all sons will be filial sons, and governors will all be loyal ministers...
So Aurangzeb could only continue to shamelessly use his daughter to play tricks - that was the woman that Sengge dedicated to the Ming Emperor. If he messed up and Long Yan was furious, how could Sengge still be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty?
This is not just a woman's problem, it is also related to the free trade between Ming Dynasty and Tianzhu, and a large dowry!
"Old fox!" Seng Ge was already scolding, "He is forcing us to fight to the death with Anusha Khan!"
The Pearl Lama shook his head, "Your Majesty, it was not Anusha Khan who snatched Princess Nisha from the emperor, but his son Prince Alim...Shasta Khan's letter said that the prince was captured by Aurangze Bu was appointed governor of Samarkand and has already entered the city of Samarkand, and the princess has also stayed in the city."
"What should we do?" Sengge was really anxious, "A man and a woman live alone in the same city, who knows what will happen?"
Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "So we have to kill Prince Alim!"
"How to kill me?" Seng Ge also gritted his teeth - can you, a pearl, finish the sentence in one go?
"Your Majesty, the poor monk has a plan to get Prince Alim's head!"
...
At this time, Prince Alim did not know that someone was already thinking about his head. He was now staying behind the tall city walls of Samarkand, and would soon marry the most beautiful and richest Princess Nisha in the world. Got it!
Princess Nisha’s annual pocket money is 400,000 rupees! Her dowry must be several million rupees, right?
Alim, the loser prince in the Central Asian desert, is about to win Bai Fumei! With a rich and beautiful dowry and the land of Samarkand, can he still be far away from the true pinnacle of life - becoming the king of the river? It makes me happy just thinking about it...
Just when I was happy, one of his subordinates came to report - Wazir Shesta Khan from Timur's empire asked to see him, saying that he had something great to report!
Overjoyed? Could it be that the Jungar people retreated? Prince Alim thought to himself: If they withdraw their troops, will I be able to marry Princess Nissa? You have to ask that Shesta Khan.
"Your Highness, those Zhungeer people did not retreat completely. They only retreated about 30,000 people, leaving a few thousand people to guard the bastion!"
Shasta Khan's answer disappointed Prince Alim. These Jungar people are not doing things well. They all ran away and you didn't run away all at once. Why are there still thousands of people left behind?
"Your Highness," Shesta Khan continued, "His Majesty Alamgir asked me to ask you if you would like to command your Uzbek warriors to attack together with the warriors of the Timur Empire to attack the Jungar people. The bastion? Princess Nyssa will watch the battle on the south bank of the Zerafshan River... This is a good opportunity for you to show him your bravery!"
"But I heard that this kind of bastion is difficult to attack..."
Shesta Khan smiled and said: "Don't worry, General Khalifa knows how to fight. He has learned the skills of building and siegeing cities from the British... He will not waste the Uzbek warriors by attacking by force. life's."
"That's good!" Prince Alim nodded heavily, "I can dispatch 10,000 Uzbek warriors, is that enough?"
"Enough, enough!" Shasta Khan nodded repeatedly.
Anusha Khan brought a total of 50,000 Uzbek cavalry to Samarkand. About 30,000 of them have already been taken by him to the Fergana Basin, and the remaining 20,000 have now entered Samarkand. Prince Alim was wary of others, so he left 10,000 people to guard the city and only led 10,000 people out of the city.
Aurangzeb mobilized 30,000 Timurid's new army (composed of the Tianfang believers in the river) from the military camp outside the city and handed it over to the command of Shasta Khan. They attacked with Prince Alim and Khalifa. The general's 5,000 Persian red-headed troops will also attack together, for a total of 45,000 troops.
This 45,000-strong army is nominally commanded by Prince Alim, but is actually in charge of General Khalifa, a military expert from Persia.
According to General Khalifa's plan, the fighting army was divided into two parts. Thirty thousand Timur's new army and five thousand Persian red-headed army spread out on the east and west sides of the Jungar Army fortress, digging trenches, building artillery forts, and setting out A very professional siege posture.
Prince Alim will lead his 10,000 Uzbek cavalry to the north of the fortress - if the Dzungars want to break out, the Uzbek warriors will use scimitars and spears to severely teach these barbarians from the east!
"Your Highness, there is a fire in the Zhungeer people's bastion!"
The brave Prince Alim led his 10,000 Uzbek cavalry across the Zerafshan River from a pontoon bridge north of Samarkand. His general Arif pointed to the sky above the Dzhungar Army fortress in the distance. The black smoke shouted to him: "It must be the Zhungeers in the bastion who are burning baggage and food... They are about to break out!"
Prince Alim looked up and saw that it was indeed the case!
Arif said to Alim: "It seems that there are not many Jungar people in the bastion. They are bluffing. Now they see that our army is about to attack the city, so they have to abandon the city and leave!"
"Yes, yes, I think so too!" Prince Alim asked, "Then what should we do?"
Arif suggested: "Prince, if the number of enemies is not large, let's chase them and kill them all. Your Highness the Princess will be very happy!"
"Okay!" Alim laughed, "That's it!"
At this moment, the Uzbek vanguard has sent the cavalry to report - the Jungar people have indeed broken through. They are not many in number, only more than 1,000 people, and each person has several horses. In addition to the soldiers, The horse I was riding on, and the other horses all carried large bags of luggage on their backs! Obviously, these Jungar people did not run away empty-handed, but ran away with treasures stolen from all over the Samarkand Oasis!
