The clever trick that Mingzhu Lama presented to Seng Ge is actually a very old-fashioned method. It has been used many times in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" alone!
It's nothing more than spreading a large amount of wealth on the road to attract pursuers to snatch it. When their team is scattered and difficult to command, ambushes will appear everywhere and catch you by surprise.
Even if Prince Alim and General Arif have not watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they also know that good things thrown on the battlefield cannot be picked up casually - similar tactics have also appeared in the endless wars in the Hezhong area !
But the problem is that the Uzbek warriors in the Khiva Khanate are a little poor and crazy!
The Khiva Khanate did not have any good territory. It only had the Khwarazm Oasis, which was a bit richer. Later, it also acquired the Bukhara Oasis. However, the long-term struggle with the Bukhara Khanate and the Turkmen tribes made the number of Khiva Khanate warriors expand a bit too much. How could the Khwarezm Oasis and Bukhara Oasis support 50,000 to 60,000 Uzbek cavalry?
Therefore, Anusha Khan's army had to rely on loot to cover expenses, otherwise he would not have gone all the way to Samarkand with his elite soldiers to help Aurangzeb - Aurangzeb was a good man The customer gave him silver rupees of high quality, and he was willing to pay a large sum of money in advance!
However, no matter how generous Aurangzeb was, the Uzbek cavalry at the bottom could not catch a few, so how could they not pick up the belongings scattered on the ground?
If you don’t pick it up now and let others pick it up later, isn’t their hard work in vain?
So the troops commanded by King Alim and General Arif immediately became confused when they saw the baggage scattered everywhere. Almost everyone stopped chasing, dismounted and picked up their belongings. In order to grab more things, they even He started fighting with his own people.
Of course the prince and general leading the army knew something was wrong, but at this time the battlefield was already in chaos.
"No one is allowed to pick up things, stay in formation!"
"This is a pagan trick... you fools!"
"Damn it, there must be an ambush!"
"Reorganize your formation...get ready to fight!"
Alim and Arif shouted loudly, but how could the Uzbek warriors, blinded by the wealth everywhere, listen to him? If Anusha Khan was here, he might be able to rely on his personal soldiers to keep the situation under control. However, Prince Alim does not have many reliable soldiers, and he does not have as high a prestige as his father.
So no matter how much he roared, few people obeyed, and his army was still in chaos.
At this moment, the Jungar ambush came out from all directions!
The place where Sengge set up his ambush is located in the north of the Samarkand Oasis, close to the bastion south of the Jizzak Pass. The surrounding area is densely populated, and there are many abandoned villages where soldiers can hide. Moreover, this area has long been under the control of Sengge. Under the firm control of the Ge army, there was no Junger cavalry to burn wheat.
The wheat fields are now overripe but have not yet been harvested, which is convenient for hiding people and horses. There is also a medium-sized forest nearby with 6 6-pound cannons placed in it, and they are also ambushing and killing. It started roaring when it came out.
Six 6-pound cannons are nothing on the European battlefield, but they are scary here in Hezhong. Due to the inconvenient transportation in the Hezhong area, "big guys" like 6-pound cannons are not popular in the area, but small-caliber cannons are used. Camel artillery is the main artillery firepower, and the Uzbek cavalry from the Khwarezm Oasis is no exception. So now when the cannon fired, the already chaotic Uzbek cavalry became even more panicked. When they saw the Jungar cavalry coming out like a tide, many guys who had picked up the treasure took advantage of the chaos and ran away - they were all already You've gotten rich, why don't you run away quickly! Are you still waiting for the Zhungeer people to cut off your head?
The tragic situation of a crushing defeat suddenly appeared around Prince Alim. The broad battlefield was filled with Jungar cavalry attacking in a company. The cannonballs fired by the Jungar people kept falling on the chaotic mess. Among the Uzbek cavalry of the regiment, although they did not cause much damage, the loud noise and the bounce of the artillery shells still consumed their last bit of fighting will. The Uzbek cavalry were like an ant nest meeting water. When they saw the groups of Jungar cavalry rushing towards them, they rolled back.
Seeing the army collapse before his eyes, Prince Alim made another fatal mistake - he was unwilling to admit defeat cleanly and flee with everyone. Because he knew very well that he lost a battle that he shouldn't lose and couldn't afford to lose!
The princess of the Timurid Empire would not marry a coward prince who ran away from the battlefield, and His Majesty Alamgir would not hand over the Samarkand Oasis to a fool who couldn't fight, and his father would also suffer because of him He was furious after losing thousands of Uzbek warriors in vain... His brothers would take advantage of his fall from grace to kill him!
So when his men were fleeing, Prince Alim actually mustered up the courage and shouted to his confidant General Ali: "Arif, follow me, let's charge together and fight the Jungar people! True God Will protect us! Arif...Arif?"
Arif has run away! Just when his master was stupid, he ran away and took away more than half of Prince Alim's soldiers. Now there are only dozens of unresponsive guys still following this prince who was at the peak of his life not long ago. around.
Alim also thought of escaping, but it was too late. The Jungar people did not attack from one direction, but attacked from the front and both sides of Alim at the same time, and also arranged an outflanking team. The prince hesitated for a moment and was already trapped in a tight siege. By this time, it was too late for him to run away, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and resist desperately.
Because he and his soldiers had particularly beautiful armor and particularly tall horses, they were particularly eye-catching on the battlefield, and soon attracted groups of Jungar cavalry to attack them.
At this time, Prince Alim knew that the Zhungeers not only knew how to use black guns, but also launched group charges!
They rode in a group of hundreds, each holding a spear. When charging, they charged forward like a wall, advancing without retreating. After charging for a while, they did not fight, but flew away, regrouped the whole team, and then charged again.
However, for Prince Alim and his soldiers, it is completely unnecessary to charge again, because after being charged by the first wave of Jungar cavalry, Prince Alim became a polished prince. He only escaped death with the Turkmen BMW under his crotch, running aimlessly on the chaotic battlefield. He didn't know how long he had been running away, but his back was suddenly hit hard by something unknown, and then he felt a sharp pain, accompanied by a feeling of being breathless, and all his strength disappeared without a trace. He couldn't control the horse anymore, his whole body lay limply on the horse's back, and his consciousness was quickly lost.
Dying? Prince Alim finally thought: Princess Nissa will definitely shed tears for me. Her tears are my only gain...
...
"Woooooooo..."
Princess Nisha really cried, howled loudly, and fell into the arms of her father Aurangzeb in front of the Uzbek soldiers.
It’s heartbreaking to watch!
The Uzbek cavalry who ran as fast as rabbits five days ago are now in tears. Together with the 10,000 Uzbeks who stayed in Samarkand, they gathered in front of the Timur Monastery to pay tribute to Prince Alim who died heroically. Have a solemn funeral.
The Jungar people found the body of Prince Alim on the battlefield, and sent the captured Uzbeks to carry the body back to Samarkand. At the same time, they also sent back a message from the Sengge - King Senghe will send a letter to Bukhara and Khwarezm went in and destroyed the Khiva Khanate's lair!
In order to comfort the hearts of the Uzbek warriors who were defeated and about to lose their homeland, Aurangzeb and Princess Nisha held a grand funeral for the prince, and also prepared a bag full of silver rupees for each Uzbek warrior... ..
