For the warfare of this era, the most troublesome thing for the army commander is the problem of command in battle. Commanders in the rear can get a better vision of the war, but they can't make fine adjustments to the front of the fighting forces. The commander-in-chief who rushed to the front line was able to boost morale and directly control the soldiers to fight, but he lost the vision of war and could not see the overall battle.

This is where Abu Ajis's troubles lie, when his left flank troops were in trouble, he rushed to the front line of the right flank, and he was busy getting his men to form their formations, and was preparing to attack the last line of Yarkand strongholds.

Haidar's left flank was about 2,000 meters away from his right flank, and with the noise of fighting on the battlefield, Abu Agis and his men did not notice any change in the situation on the battlefield.

It was only when the nearly 1,000 Balkh troops launched the first wave of attacks on the third barracks that the exclamations from the direction of the Chinese army slightly attracted the attention of Abu Ajis. Just as he was about to send someone to observe what was happening in the Chinese army, the herald sent by the officer in charge of the overall situation in the rear found him out of breath.

Abu Aggis was momentarily incredulous at the news brought by the heralds, and couldn't help but confirm again: "You said that the Andijanites attacked the left flank of our army and the troops of the center? So what is Hedar doing? ”

The herald said anxiously, "It was Haidar, the villain, who attacked our army with the Andijanians, and he betrayed you..."

Abu Aggis felt a sudden explosion of thunder in his head, so that he could not hear anything, and the fear that came to him in an instant was like a devil's hand choking his throat, so that he could not say a word.

However, the generals beside him quickly woke him up, "Your Highness, the Kokand people of the Chinese army have collapsed, and they are rushing towards our army, we must quickly withdraw from here, otherwise our army will be completely finished." ”

Abu Aggis looked in the direction of the Chinese army with a pale face, and after dozens of seconds, he gritted his teeth and said: "Let Shaman's troops line up to the west, and those who dare to cross the array will be killed, let them turn around and fight with the Yarkands, and the others will retreat in order..."

Although Abu Aggis did his best to give the most reasonable instructions for battle, it was clear that maintaining order in the retreat was not something that a unit like Balkh's could do.

What's more, the Balkh army had already put out a battle formation before, and the front, middle and rear armies were all moving forward, and now they were suddenly going to turn around and evacuate, and the Balkh army, which did not have a complete organizational structure, suddenly fell into chaos because of inconsistent instructions.

Even a high-ranking commander like Abu Aggis could not grasp the full picture of the battlefield when he was in the front line, let alone the soldiers who had a narrower field of vision.

What's more, in order to prevent the soldiers from losing the will to fight due to the effects of brutal fighting in battle, no strong army will allow soldiers to look left and right during battle, and the Balkh army obviously carried out this military order very well.

As a result, even the front-line combat units failed to understand what had happened to their friendly neighbors, let alone the reserve units behind them. And if you want to evacuate the combat troops at the front, you must first withdraw the troops in the rear and make way for them.

The order given by Abu Agis was finally carried out, and it was about Shaman with 300 guards cavalry and hundreds of ordinary soldiers who reluctantly turned into formation, building a thin line of defense for his companions behind him.

When the situation on the battlefield changed, the soldiers who were originally hiding behind the low wall suddenly mustered up the courage to launch a counterattack, and many Mongolian archers appeared on the wooden wall behind them, which made the originally high morale of the Balkh army suddenly be beaten in a daze.

However, this was not the worst of all, as the Yarkand finally used their artillery against the Krakands as Shaman and his Guards cavalry endured the flank fire and resisted the rout of the Chinese army.

These cannons carried by the Arslan army, although they only have 3 catties and 6 catties of guns, are actually not very powerful. But when it was used at such a moment, it obviously became the last straw that crushed Balkh's army.

By this time, Abu Ajis's orders could no longer reach the ears of his officers, and the troops between the second and third camps had completely lost their command, and everyone was scrambling to flee to the gap.

One Balkh officer later recalled that they were like a group of timid civilians fleeing, and they did not dare to look back at the sounds of fighting and screams coming from behind them. The Balkhs, who were also unmoved in the face of Abbasid the Great, completely lost their courage and their honor at that moment.

When he saw the advance of the cuirassiers behind the rout, Abu Aggis finally gave up saving his army and fled with the cavalry around him.

At this moment, he hated Haidar and the entire city of Andijan. Enraged, Abu Aggis thought angrily as he fled, not to let him meet Haydar again, and not to let him return to Andijan, or he would let Haydar and the people of Andijan know what would happen if he betrayed him.

But for the nobles of Andijan, Abu Aggis's anger was nothing short of unwarranted. It's not that they don't want to go out of the city to meet the Bukhara army who has rescued them, it's just that they can't get out of the city.

After the convergence of the northern and southern armies of the Yarkands, the strength of the army was twice as large as that of the Bukhara army that came to the rescue. While the Yarkand army and part of Arslan's army resisted the attack of the Bukharan army, Arslan also took a lot of men and horses to monitor the movements in the city of Andijan with the Kyrgyz.

Babur had tried to take the remaining cavalry of Andijan out of the city in order to help the army that had come to the rescue, but his men and horses were quickly beaten back by Arslan, and if Babur had not judged correctly, their troops would have been blocked by the Mongols.

In such a situation, Andijan naturally did not dare to send troops to take risks, so it could only put its hopes on the Bukhara army that came to the rescue, hoping that this army could successfully tear through the Yarkand camp and reach the city.

The camp built by the Yarkand people is about 3 to 5 miles away from the city wall, and the Andijan nobles who stand on the city wall to watch the battle are naturally unable to see clearly with the naked eye, and it is not good enough to develop the glass manufacturing industry in the Ming Dynasty, and the low-magnification monocular is no longer a rare thing.

As an important town on the Silk Road, the nobles of Andijan almost always kept a few telescopes of ten to twelve times for their own amusement. Therefore, standing on the city wall, they can clearly observe the situation on the battlefield.

It's just that the Andijan nobles saw the arrangement behind the Yarkand camp, and they couldn't give any hint to the Bukhara army outside the city, so they could only watch the Bukharan army fall into the trap of the Yarkands.

Seeing that the Bukhara army was in a rout on all fronts, the Andijan nobles, who originally had a glimmer of hope, were all dead, and they realized that it was impossible for Andijan to have any more reinforcements in a short period of time.

And even if reinforcements come to relieve the siege, it may not be a good thing for them. They had just seen clearly in the telescope that the main reason for the rout of the reinforcements was that someone attacked the left flank of the reinforcements under the banner of Andijan.

If the defeated reinforcement generals put this account on the Andijan people, thinking that they had conspired with the Yarkand to set this trap, who should they go to?

A group of Andijan nobles stood on the city wall in a daze until the sun set in the west, and when the Yarkand people took the captured captives to go around the city to boast of their military exploits, Andijan Berksafi said in a loud voice: "Go back, go back first, and talk about something tomorrow." ”

Everyone heard the frustration in Saifei's words, and several minor nobles watched Saifei staggering towards the city, and couldn't help shouting at him: "Lord Burke, we have done our best to be loyal to the Khan, you should think more about the future of the Andijan people, do you really want the whole city to die with you?" ”

Babur, who was carrying his father down, was very angry, and was about to turn back and reprimand, but his arm was firmly grasped by his father, "Don't say anything, go back with me first." ”

Saifi's stern voice stunned Babur, and then suppressed the anger in his heart and returned to the mansion with his father. Not long after returning to the mansion, Saifei straightened up and said to his son: "You prepare, go out of the city tonight to contact the Mongols, and say that we Andijanites are willing to surrender to them." ”

Babur was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but shout with some excitement: "Father, we are not yet at the end of the mountain, it is winter.

Even if they thwart our reinforcements for a while, they can't be defeated every time. After all, this is still the Bukhara Khanate, and I don't believe that the Khan can abandon us. ”

Sai Fei glanced back at his son, and then said expressionlessly: "Of course, King Khan will not abandon Andijan City, but he can completely abandon our family.

Don't you know who will lead the team to the rescue today? That was the banner of Prince Abu Aggis, the next crown prince of Bukhara.

This battle is the biggest stain on Prince Abu Aggis, and every time he thinks about this defeat in the future, our family will become a thorn in his side. Do you think you can reach the jealousy of a crown prince?

I don't want to put the fate of my family on the sanity of a prince. Go down and prepare, remember, we are going to surrender to the Mongols, not the Yarkand Khanate, and I hope you don't let me down again..."

Under his father's fierce gaze, Babur finally reluctantly agreed. Although he himself felt that it would be more appropriate for him to surrender even if he wanted to surrender, he should surrender to the Yarkand people who believed in the same religion, but at this moment, he obviously did not have the courage to resist his father, so he retreated quietly.
