[1373 Kandahar is captured]

Muhammad Yakub Khan was already in a state of semi-madness.

The commander lost control, and the situation below can be imagined, which was originally an army composed of dozens of various leaders, without the unified command of Muhammad Yakub Khan every day, the situation was even more chaotic, and the next day there was a collapse.

The British army and the Indian coercive army continued to attack for more than 20 hours, the British artillery fire was very fierce, and the Indian coercive army was also driven away, and the whole team pressed over, of course, the formation was very scattered, and it could only be barely counted as a square team.

However, with the British artillery and the number of Indian coercion troops, this attack force was still enough to suppress the Afghan indigenous defenders, who had lost their rules.

"Your Majesty, no, the British and Indians have already invaded Kandahar from many places!" Yamrali's eyes were red, and he said to the drunken Muhammad Yakub Khan.

"What did you say?" Muhammad Yakub Khan vigorously opened Yamrali's hand, which was shaking his arm, "What did you say? Get out! Don't bother me to drink, I'm going to drink, wine! ”

"Your Majesty!" Yamlari stomped his feet angrily, but there was no way.

At this time, Kandahar was in chaos, some of the leaders' armies had broken down, or they were taken out of Kandahar by the leaders and broke out, and some of them were still desperately resisting, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the British and Indian coercive forces.

"The British have stormed Kandahar! Surrender or break through, there is no other way! Yamrali said angrily, he was originally looking forward to being able to take refuge in China, but now Yamrali feels that the general trend has gone, and now it seems that it is too late to take refuge, and whether he can escape from Kandahar is a big problem.

Muhammad Yakub Khan ignored Yamrali's shaking of him, and clamored for a drink.

With a bang, a cannonball was dropped outside the residence of Mohammed Yakub Khan, fortunately it was a solid bullet, and the movement was very large, but the power was not great.

However, this earthquake completely woke up Muhammad Yakub Khan and stood up all of a sudden, "What's the matter?" ”

"The British and Indians have invaded Kandahar from many places!" Seeing that Muhammad Yakub Khan had regained some consciousness, Yamrali hurriedly said.

Muhammad Yakub Khan was terrified and looked for his clothes, and his maids came up to help him put them on.

"Quick, break through quickly, escape first." Muhammad Yakub Khan said to Yamrali while asking the maids to dress themselves.

Yamrali sighed, and said in his heart that you made a decision earlier, and you personally led people to hold on yesterday, or personally led people to break through, why did you fall into such an embarrassing situation now? However, the guards were recruited to convey the orders of Muhammad Yakub Khan, and Yamrali did not have the authority to command the army, otherwise the situation would not have turned out like this all at once.

It's too late, the British have already begun to storm the abode of Muhammad Yakub Khan!

Muhammad Yakub Khan personally led hundreds of guards to resist stubbornly, and Muhammad Yakub Khan's personal guards still had a certain combat effectiveness, and they were loyal enough, shields, bows and arrows, and in the winding streets of small houses, they could also delay a British offensive, but this was only a delay in time.

The indigenous army, which was less than 500 people, had to face the regular British army of more than 1,000 people, and this initial small battlefield temporarily formed a confrontation.

Other British and Indian coercive forces are fighting Afghan forces that are still resisting in various parts of the city.

"Surrender quickly and lay down your arms! Otherwise, they will be killed. "The British soldiers shouted while putting their guns down, among them were Indian coercive troops who could speak Afghan, so the Afghan indigenous army could understand it, if it weren't for the personal guards of Muhammad Yakub Khan, they would have surrendered a long time ago, and the two sides were not fighting at the same level at all.

"Surrender the British!" Muhammad Yakub Khan made up his mind.

Yamrali snorted, you surrender at this time, and when you get to the British army, life will definitely not be easy, even the respect of ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that you can't expect it, he is very disappointed in Muhammad Yakub Khan.

"Go and give the order! Do you want me to call them down and call them down? Muhammad Yakub Khan said angrily to Yamlali.

Yamlali simply squatted aside, "After you surrender, your status will definitely not be as good as mine, from now on you don't talk to me with this attitude anymore, you have to go yourself!" ”

Muhammad Yakub Khan looked at Yamrali in shock, for more than ten years, Yamrali has been respectful to him, he didn't expect Yamrali to suddenly become this face? "You!"

Muhammad Yakub Khan angrily drew his sword and tried to kill Yamrali.

Yamlari also stood up and drew his knife: "What do you want to do?" ”

Several of Muhammad Yakub Khan's guards around him were blindsided, and they looked at Muhammad Yakub Khan and Yamrali in shock, and they were at a loss.

"Kill him for me!" Muhammad Yakub Khan said to the guards around him.

Several guards did not move, not far away, a group of Muhammad Yakub Khan's guards were fighting to the death with the British army, but here Muhammad Yakub Khan was turning his face with his closest minister, these guards were already unconscious, standing in place.

"See? This is what happened to the British, you ask the Afghans, who wants to surrender the British? Yamlari said angrily.

Muhammad Yakub Khan shouted, "I will kill you!" With his knife in hand, he rushed towards Yamrali.

Yamlali gritted his teeth and took the lead in stabbing Muhammad Yakub Khan to death! Although Yamrali is a civil official, his body is very strong, and he is by no means comparable to Muhammad Yakub Khan, who is bloated and fat, and drinks every day.

Several of the guards looked at each other, looking at Muhammad Yakub Khan, who was staring at him and falling to the ground with blood flowing from his mouth, and Yamrali, who was pulling the knife out of Muhammad Yakub Khan's body, but still did not move.

Yamrali said to a few people: "Are you going to surrender to the British, or are you going to break out with me?" ”

"Breakout!" Several of the guards replied without thinking.

Yamlali glanced at the scorching battlefield and nodded, "Okay, let's go quickly, ask as many people as you can along the road to stay with us, as many as you can call!" Now I'm on my own! ”

Yamlali, with a few of his guards, as well as some indigenous Afghan soldiers who were nearby, saw that Mohammed Yakub Khan had been killed, and also ran after Yamlali.

Soon, the news spread that Mohammed Yakub Khan had been killed by Yamrali, and the Afghan indigenous army was even more chaotic, but no one surrendered to the British, which also showed the bloody and tenacious side of the Afghans, and there was no internal chaos, they were really not an easy group to defeat.

To be honest, if it were such a small area and such a small population in Huaguo, it would not be able to withstand hundreds of thousands of British troops and Indian coercive troops, and the Chinese would not be able to withstand it for more than a year.

The people around Yamrali gathered more and more, to thousands of people, but the British army and the Indian coercive army around Yamrali's army also gathered more and more, the British front commander-in-chief after hearing that Muhammad Yakub Khan was killed, issued a death order, not allowed to let go of the formed Afghan army, especially not allowed to let go of Yamlali, Muhammad Yakub Khan died, no leader can compare to the appeal of Abdul Rahman Khan, Only Yamrali can continue to fight with the army of a group of indigenous Afghan leaders.

Yamlali desperately led his men to break through from the north, hoping to break out of Kandahar, move closer to the Helmand River, and cross the river to the north of the Helmand River, so that he could be temporarily safe, because the British army and the Indian army were huge, and it would take time to cross the river, and it would provide him with a certain amount of time to reassemble the armies of the various chiefs.

But Yamrali is not a talent to lead the troops, all he can think of is that the encirclement has become more and more dense within the calculations of Abdul Rahman Khan and the British commander, where can Yamlali lead people to rush out so easily? 129
