Although Abu Aggis admired Haidar, the son of Andijan Burke, he never relaxed his surveillance.

However, Haidar did a good job along the way, from offering advice to seize the city of Margalang to opening the way for the army, which made Abu Ajiz half relieved of him.

On the day of December 15, seeing Haidar, who was on the left flank, once again leading the way towards the first camp of Yarkand, Abu Aggis in the right flank army said to his subordinates with a smile.

"You all say that Haidar is a cowardly man who abandoned his father and brother and fled, or he has other intentions, so that I cannot trust this man.

But see for yourselves now, if Haidar had really surrendered to the Yarkand spies, would he have moved forward so bravely? The weapons of the Yarkand do not have long eyes, and do not avoid Haidar, but only fall on other soldiers.

See what our warriors are doing? The Yarkand spies in your eyes have already fought against the Yarkands, but don't you feel ashamed that our warriors are still so far away from the enemy's stronghold? ”

The generals around Abu Aggis suddenly felt that their faces were hot, and Basang Shah Murad was unconvinced and asked Abu Aggis to fight: "Please give me a chance, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I will definitely open the passage to the city of Andijan before that Andijanite." ”

Abu Agis nodded at the subordinate and said, "You bring 300 guards and 300 arquebusiers forward, and I am here to wait for your good news." ”

Basan Shah Murad said yes loudly, and went with a few friends who knew him well to select the Guards Knights and Arquebusiers. Unlike the armies of the Ferghana Basin, which still used the weapons and armor of the previous century, Abu Agis's Balkh army had learned the power of arquebuses and cannons during their years of fighting against the Safavids.

Bukhara's cavalry was not as brutal as the Turkmen Red Army, so after the establishment of trade relations between the Bukhara Khanate and Russia, the introduction of arquebuses from Russia became a weapon for the Bukhara army against the Safavids.

The 300 arquebusiers were already almost a quarter of the arquebusiers carried by Abu Aggis, so it can be seen that he had almost relieved his suspicions about the ambush of Haidar and Yarkand, and was ready to fight.

After Basang Shah Murad and his men stepped forward, the right flank of the Bukhara army also took on a new look, and accelerated the assault on the outer camps of Yarkand.

The Yarkand people set up three barracks in an area 3-5 miles from Andijan City, and the first outlying barracks were more than 50 meters deep, with only a breastwork wall more than one person high and a trench three meters wide and two meters deep.

To the surprise of Basan Shah Murad, not only were there not many defenders in the first barracks, but they were not equipped with bows and arrows. So he and the dismounted Guards quickly cut a gap in the wooden fence and rushed in with the men.

The guards who escorted Basang Shah Murad into the camp soon noticed that something was wrong, and they shouted beside Basang Shah Murad: "Lord Basan, these are not Yarkands, they are our people..."

Basan Shah Murad stopped and looked at the weeping defenders behind the barracks, and realized that although these defenders were dressed in Yarkand clothing, they were shouting in the language of the Ferghana Basin.

It was also difficult to meet much resistance when they rushed in, and many defenders even dropped their weapons when they saw them enter, but their side was too nervous at that time, and they slashed and killed several defenders who rushed up, so that these people were forced to take up arms and resist.

Basang Shah Murad hurriedly ordered: "Stop, stop, ask who they are and where they come from..."

However, before Basang Shah Murad's words were finished, Ma Shouying, who was guarding the second camp, had already seen the changes that had taken place here. He populated the city of Margalang with these inhabitants not so that they could talk to the enemy.

Therefore, Ma Shouying quickly gave instructions to shoot at the archers and musketeers of the second camp. The second camp was guarded by the Yarkand and the surrendered sergeants of Andijan and Margalang.

Under the watchful eye of the Yarkand people around them, the surrendering troops of Andijan and Margalang did not dare to make any changes, and could only start shooting at the personnel in the first camp. Even if some of the troops did not aim at all, it was extremely difficult to shoot at such a close distance and in a dense crowd.

Some of the surrendered troops who did not want to slaughter civilians and the confrontation of the ** team, or quietly raised the muzzle of their guns a few points, or delayed the time to reload, but those who did so were quickly beheaded by the Yarkand soldiers who supervised the battle on the side.

The barbarism and ferocity of the Yarkand people immediately frightened these surrendering troops, and if they really had the courage, they would have died on the battlefield long ago. Therefore, these surrendered troops quickly became honest, and mechanically loaded ammunition or fired according to the orders of the Yarkand soldiers.

The son of a tribal leader near the city of Bubalkh, Basan Shah Murad wore a suit of armor stripped from the Safavid generals, and a glittering breastplate with a floral pattern inlaid with gold.

His armor was not only gorgeous and extravagant, but it was also extremely strong in defense, and the five or six arrows that the Yarkand fired at him were all slipped off the armor and did not hurt him at all.

But his good fortune could only end there, perhaps it was his armor that attracted the attention of the enemy, in addition to the bow and arrow that had just been aimed at him, there were two muskets that shot at him, although one projectile hit his companion beside him, but the other projectile hit him in the thigh.

The 32-gram projectile easily tore through the armor of his thigh, and instead of feeling pain, Basang Shah Murad felt as if his body was floating. Maybe it was a second, maybe three seconds, and he fell backwards with a heart-rending cry coming out of his mouth.

The subordinates, who were originally widening the gap and wanted to let the civilians in the camp leave first, suddenly abandoned their work and wanted to rescue Basang Shah Murad. However, the sudden attack caused the civilians in the camp to lose their minds, and they began to fight for the gap cut by the Bukhara army, trying to escape from this bloody hell.

The irrational behavior of these civilians not only hindered the Bukhara army's attack on the second line of strongholds, but also caused several gaps to be blocked, allowing the Yarkand army to use the gaps as a target for key shooting.

When the soldiers on the right flank and the center of the Bukhara army who rushed into the first camp were entangled with their own civilians and were instead shot by the Yarkand army in the second camp, the left flank led by Haidar calmly withdrew from the first barracks.

Because this benevolent brother did not stop at all when he rushed into the first barracks, and almost killed the thousands of civilians in front of him, when the Yarkand army aimed and shot at them from the second barracks, naturally there was no one to compete with them for the retreat channel.

Abu Aggis looked at the unconscious Basang Shah Murad who was carried back by several guards cavalry, and felt like his eyes were dripping blood. The biggest loss of this attack was actually his right flank, and although Haidar on the left flank killed civilians, he and his men retreated.

The Kokand in the Chinese army were the slowest of the three attacking armies because they were too timid, so when they came under fire from the Yarkands, they lost only a small number of men. Only on his side, because of the bravery of the guards cavalry, the forward troops once attacked three quarters of the horses, so when they encountered fire in the entanglement with the civilians, they naturally suffered the greatest losses, and about one-third of the forward troops lost their combat effectiveness.

Looking at the more than 200 lightly and seriously wounded soldiers who were lifted to the side, the enraged Abu Aggis finally drew his sword and ordered the generals: "Shaman replaces Basang to lead the forward, and I am behind Shaman.

Tell the Chinese army and the right flank that the next attack must be fought to the city of Andijan in one breath, and those who dare to retreat halfway will not flinch and enforce military law on the spot.

By the way, tell Haidar that if our army rushes to the enemy's third stronghold, and there are no troops in Andijan to meet them, I will definitely hold his family accountable after the battle..."

After listening to Abu Aggis's order from the herald, Haidar calmly straightened the armor on his body, and then said to the general of Namugan City on the side: "My men need to rest, and the next attack should be led by your Namugan army." ”

The general of Namugan City was obviously frightened by the battle just now, so he objected hesitantly and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince asked us to assist you in the battle, but he didn't say that we should charge for your Andijan people, this is to rescue Andijan City, so naturally you should be..."

Haidar quickly let go of the general who wanted to grab him, watched him fall to the ground, holding his neck with one hand, and pointing at himself with the other as if he wanted to say something, but he could only make a "cooing" sound, and soon lost his strength due to massive blood loss in his neck and waited for death.

Only then did Haidar carefully take out a cotton cloth from his bosom and wipe the dagger off his hand, and said as he wiped it: "His Royal Highness the prince asked us to attack the camp and appointed me as the chief general of the left wing.

His Royal Highness the Prince just issued a military order, and if he dared to cower and not to correct the law on the spot, he jumped out to disobey the military order. Samuk Now that you are the supreme commander of the army in Namugan City, will you accept my orders? ”

Samuk looked at the Andijan people who surrounded him with ill intentions, and immediately replied nervously: "No, I don't dare, I am willing to follow Lord Haidar's orders to attack." ”

Haidar glanced at the other party, looked at the beads of sweat that kept coming out of the forehead of the general of Namugan City, and his face was pale, and then he put the dagger back into his waist and said to him: "Okay, as long as you are willing to obey the military orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, I will naturally not embarrass you."

I will explain this to your Berkholton after the war, but if you are half-hearted on the battlefield, then let's all go to the true God together.

The three hundred cavalry of the Guards handed over to me by His Royal Highness the Prince, I will also give them to you this time, as long as you can fight in front of the third barracks, we will take care of the rest..."
