"Anusha Khan is so brave. Facing as many as 100,000 Jungar soldiers, he still led the bravest Tianfang Sect warriors to stay behind. They were like an iron wall, blocking the way. The enemies coming in like a tidal wave have gained some life for us Hindus from India, but he himself... wu wu..."
In the palace of Samarkand, Aurangzeb’s bravest general Mircha Rajjai Singh had broken out of the siege and escaped back with 3,000 brave Jaraput warriors - Anusha Khan You guessed it right, there was indeed an ambush outside the Fergana Valley, which was 25,000 Jungar cavalry led by Anukodon himself.
Anukotun had learned that her husband, Sengge, had won the battle in the Samarkand Oasis and was planning to go to the Khwarezm Oasis, so she led her troops outside the Fergana Valley, preparing to take advantage of Anusa Khan's When he returned to Khwarezm, he carried out a tail attack, eating Anusha Khan's "tail" bit by bit.
It is 1,500 miles from the Fergana Valley to the Khwarezm Oasis. Not only does it have to pass through the Hungry Steppe, but it also has to pass through a large sandy land, making it difficult to get supplies along the way. Therefore, Anukotun's 25,000 men did not have to fight a decisive battle at all. They only had to bite the tail of Anusha Khan and pursue them, forcing Anusha Khan's army to constantly abandon their baggage and have no time to search for supplies. They could "chase" Anusha to death. There are tens of thousands of people under Nusa Khan.
But Anusha Khan was smarter than Anuktun imagined. He did not choose to leave the Fergana Valley, but plunged into it. At the same time, Singh was sent to lead 9,000 Rajput cavalry to divert the Jungar ambush, lest these Jungars cause trouble when Anusha Khan occupied the Fergana Basin...
As a result, Singer's men were unlucky!
Originally, Singh was prepared to lead them to happily surrender to the Jungar people - Aurangzeb had already prepared a huge ransom and promised to redeem these loyal warriors to India, so he volunteered to be the rear. But unexpectedly, Anusha Khan didn't give him a chance and kicked him out of the valley first. It was still night when we came out of the valley, and it was dark. Anukdon did not understand the situation and led his troops to pursue them. He did not give the opponent a chance to surrender and just killed them. It was so cruel!
The pursuit lasted until noon of the next day. Anukotun received a military report from Hu Zhongyong and learned that Anusa Khan had entered the Fergana Valley. Then he hurriedly withdrew his troops and Singh finally escaped. After a disaster, he returned to Samarkand in defeat with 3,000 remaining soldiers.
However, although this general is not good at fighting, his acting and storytelling skills are absolutely top-notch, and he killed Anusha Khan forcefully!
Seeing him cry, Princess Nisha, who was sitting next to Aurangzeb in mourning clothes, couldn't help but burst into tears. Aurangzeb also took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears. There were many Uzbek generals in the palace, led by Arif, and everyone was crying and wailing...
After everyone cried for a while, they heard Aurangzeb cough. Everyone immediately stopped crying and looked at the great emperor.
Aurangzeb lamented: "I want to hold the most solemn funeral for Anusha Khan! Bury him next to Emperor Timur, and let him accompany the emperor forever!"
Well, it’s going to be a grand burial!
Moreover, they were buried next to Timur the Great. Anusha Khan was a descendant of the Golden Horde and was a bitter enemy of Timur the Great. Is it appropriate to bury them both together?
No, Anusha Khan is not dead at all. This is "living in mourning". Anusha Khan who is far away in the Fergana Basin will be so angry that he will vomit blood if he knows about this!
However, Anusha Khan could not vomit blood or not, but he could not prevent his funeral from being held... And his funeral was certainly not meaningless. This funeral relieved more than 10,000 Uzbeks who stayed in Samarkand. The warrior's allegiance to Anusha Khan.
At the same time as the funeral was being held, the bad news came that the Zhungar army had conquered the Khwarezm Oasis - of course it was a fiction. In fact, King Sengge had just arrived at the Bukhara Oasis at this time, and even the Amu Darya River Not even here yet!
But the Uzbeks in Samarkand didn't know this. They all thought that their hometown was being ravaged by the Dzhungars. Inevitably, they burst into tears again, and many people ran to ask Aurangzeb for a fight.
Aurangzeb was also unequivocal, patting his chest and promising to make the decision for the Uzbeks!
But just before Aurangzeb sent troops to Khwarezm, another piece of bad news came. The food reserves in the city of Samarkand had bottomed out!
There's going to be no food to eat! what should I do?
In the palace of Samarkand, Aurangzeb frowned and said nothing. And his Wazir Shesta Khan was talking about the food shortage in Samarkand in the saddest tone.
"The entire oasis is experiencing a food shortage. The food in Samarkand is not enough to eat, so we have to buy it from Fergana, but the trade routes for buying food have long been cut off. What's worse is that there are still a large number of refugees and troops concentrated there. In Samarkand, this greatly aggravated the shortage of food supply. But the biggest crisis was caused by the evil Dzungar devils. They destroyed at least half of the wheat fields in the oasis, reducing the grain output by more than half, and the food transported into Samarkand was The food supply in Markhan City has been reduced by more than 90%! If there is no solution to the food shortage problem, hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death this winter! And the army will also lose combat effectiveness due to hunger..."
Aurangzeb asked: "Can I buy food? I have rupees and silver coins. I have as much as I want!"
Rich people!
The Uzbek generals present all showed greedy eyes.
"You can't buy it!" Shesta Khan shook his head, "This is not India, there isn't that much surplus food!"
"Then, what should we do?" Aurangzeb asked anxiously.
"We have to give up Samarkand!" Shesta Khan said, "Your Majesty Alamgir, we can retreat to Termez and Kunduz first. There is still some food there to help us survive the difficult winter. , wait until next spring, when the mountain roads in Afghanistan are passable, we will go to Kabul, and then we can return to Punjab, which is rich in food!"
Of course he was talking about a long-established plan to evacuate the river and conquer Afghanistan!
Aurangzeb's trip to Samarkand has been a success...at least it can bring hundreds of thousands of people back to India, including more than 10,000 Uzbek cavalry from the Khwarezm Oasis!
With their help, the Afghan warlords are vulnerable!
So on the way back to India, Aurangzeb planned to occupy Afghanistan.
In this way, he can not only get more than 100,000 elite soldiers from the river, but also recruit warriors from Afghanistan. With the warriors of Transoxiana and Afghanistan, where are the states of India, large and small, still rivals for the great Majesty Alamgir?
Aurangzeb's acting skills were also top-notch. He had clearly planned to leave, but he had an iron face and said, "Shasta Khan, I have announced that I will avenge Anusha Khan. Now I am withdrawing my troops because of lack of food. I am not breaking my promise." Yet?"
"This is not a broken promise!" Shesta Khan said sternly, "The temporary retreat is to launch a larger-scale attack in the future. If we don't withdraw to India, we will starve to death in the Samarkand Oasis. And there is nothing we can do about the dead. To avenge Anusha Khan, I believe Anusha Khan in heaven doesn’t want us all to starve to death in Samarkand, right?”
"Yes, Wazir is right!" Arif, the late Prince Alim's general, took the lead in echoing, "Your Majesty Alamgir, we should withdraw to India first, and then look for opportunities to counterattack in the river!"
"Yeah, let's go back to India first!"
"There is no point in starving to death in Samarkand. It will only make the Dzungars proud!"
"We'd better evacuate!"
"Please lead us to India!"
"Your Majesty Alamgir, we will follow you to the death!"
Sure enough, no one wanted to starve to death in Samarkand, and Aurangzeb was also the most generous monarch that this group of pauper generals from the Khwarezm oasis had ever seen...
