Chapter 33: Bloody Indus (6) Gandhara Project

Toure said: "At this point, I should also tell my father's plan"

"According to information from the Intelligence Bureau, since the Indus River rushed out of the mountains, it has been more than 6,000 miles, and the places it passes are all large plains. It was originally a place where all industries are prosperous"

"But in the past hundred years, the Persians, Afghans, and Turks in the west have been continuously invaded and robbed in the east. After the founding of the Mughal Empire in the west, it has continued to cross the Khyber Pass to attack, and this place has become a place of battles"

"Especially the entry of Nadirsha of the Persian Empire and Dulanissha of the Afghan Empire caused serious damage to the place. The population was not ten or two, and a large number of people fled to the Himalayas and the desert"

"If the Afghan Empire hadn't been divided, this would have been their territory long ago"

"It is reported that there is probably less than one million people here, which is truly deserted and deserted, including the population returning from the mountains and the desert."

"At present, our country has taken over the Bukhara Khanate, which is adjacent to Mazar Sharif and Kunduz provinces in the north of the Afghan Empire."

"The leader of Mazarish Sharif was a Bukhara nobleman who fled there from the Bukhara Khanate. He was named Rasim, who called himself Rasim Khan. After our country took Bukhara, this person accommodated a large number of nobles and households who escaped across the Amu River, and was preparing to use it as a base to counterattack Bukhara at any time"

"This creates conditions for our country to enter Afghanistan"

"After a large number of Uzbeks crossed south, Rasim Khan's strength increased greatly, and he fought east and west, and successively won Kunduz, Talukan, Andhuy and other places, becoming a great warlord in the northern part of the Afghan Empire"

"Mazarisha Sharif-Kunduz are all north of the Hindu Kush Mountain, and to the south, close to the Pamir Plateau, the Kunduz River Basin is the sphere of influence of the northern branch of the Pashtun people. The tribe is descended from the Gilzai people, and the leader is Sadik Khan"

"And the north and south of the Hindu Kush Mountain, with Bamian as the center, is the sphere of influence of the Hazara people, which is actually the descendants of the Mongols. The Hindu Kush Mountain is called Hazara Mountain by them"

"In order to combat the Uzbeks who kept crossing the Amu River and raiding our country, our country contacted Hazara and Girzai people in advance"

"Basically, attack Mazarri Sharif with the Hazara people, defeat Rasim Khan, and make the Hazara people a Khanate north of the Hindu Kush Mountain"

"At the same time, we promised Sadik Khan, the leader of the Girzai people, that our country would attack Kabul with him and make him the next Shah of the Afghan Empire"

"Your Majesty has asked my fourth brother Ashina to bring a mountain division to Termez on the north bank of the Amu River. Now it has mostly entered the area south of the Amu River."

"For our country, we will naturally not be interested in the land in Afghanistan, but there is no reason not to take down the Indus River Basin, which is vast and sparsely populated but much richer."

"This time I came, taking Hyderabad was only the first step, capturing Kabul, and meeting with my fourth brother there is the purpose of the first stage"

"At the same time, my father-in-law, the Mughal Emperor, Alam II, would attack from Delhi from east to west to restrain the Sikhs who occupied the entire Punjab"

"The ultimate goal is that our country will obtain the Punjab state west of the Laval River, the Mughal Empire will obtain the east part, and Sadik Khan will obtain the Peshawar area, and our country will establish alliances with the Hazara Khanate and the Kharu Khanate, so that the passage from Central Asia to the Indian Ocean can be opened"

"Before, the Governor General of Hexian Town in my country had vigorously promoted the preparations for the restoration of the famous Buddhist holy land in the Indochina Peninsula. At that time, it was known as the Sixteen Kingdoms of Buddha Light. In the area from Peshawar to Punjab, most countries on the Indochina Peninsula believed in Buddhism and knew this."

"The so-called Western Buddha world is where Governor Asalai has vigorously recruited households to Gandhara in Hexian Town. Due to the wars in Myanmar, Siam and Laos in the past 30 years, the people have suffered greatly, and the recruitment work has been progressing smoothly."

"However, before they can migrate here on a large scale, they must open this channel"

"If you want to stabilize in the Indus River Basin, you must stabilize the Pashtuns, Balochs, and especially the latter. After all, the former has established a regime, and most of the people have followed the greetings of the people, but the Balochs are different. For hundreds of years, they have been famous for their looting in the Beiluzhi Plateau and the Arabian Sea."

"Therefore, it would be great if we could take advantage of the opportunity to siege Tanobra and beat them all in one place. If not, we should also eliminate Mir Ali Khan's troops"

"This place is a plateau with ravines and we are outsiders, obviously we cannot find the hidden enemies one by one, and our food and grass are about to be sold out. Since that's the case, we should just attack Mir Ali Khan with all our strength"

"I took out the royal flag and attacked on the scale of a brigade. The Huriji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji

"Dalawater is surrounded by mountains in the north and south, and there are only open valleys on both sides of the east and west. I blocked the road for Mir Ali's fleeing west, Huriji cut off the passage of his retreat, and then launched a rapid attack to wipe out all of them in one fell swoop!"

"Huslen guessed well. I guess Hunis's troops were hiding somewhere. Once they got their news, the Dunduke Brigade would immediately launch an attack on them."

"As for Kandahar, due to the major changes in the situation in northern Afghanistan, the Girzai people took an aggressive attitude, and the Shah position became the target of public criticism. Kandahar Governor Ibn will not abandon the Shah position and run to the south to disturb the situation. The two largest parts of the East Baloch people are Hunis and Mir Ali"

"Once these two parts are annihilated, the situation in the Indus River Basin can be stable for at least twenty years"

"As for the Mughal Empire, they wished our country would stand in the west, because in the past fifty years they had been repeatedly cleaned by enemies from the west, and the entire Ganges plain was in a depression"

"Don't worry about them growing bigger. European power has entered there in large numbers, let alone, I am still the son-in-law of the country in any case."

"And the Maratha Alliance in the middle, since it is an alliance, it is a state, since the Mughal strength has been expelled and their Brahman tradition has been restored, and it is best to keep its slaves and wealth closed and stabilize its slaves and wealth"

"If they join forces to attack our country, they will also face the attacks of the Mughal Empire on the north side of the Ganges Plain, the Bangladesh Governor's Gandhara in the east side of the Gandhara in the west. In addition to rushing into the deep mountains of the plateau, they will jump into the sea."

....

Tanobra is only more than ten miles away from Dalavot. That night, Toure and a brigade arrived quickly to the west with a marching speed!

The distance was so close that Mir Ali obviously knew what they were doing. When he learned that only one brigade of Toure came, he immediately called the people who were busy sleeping and prepared to fight Toure to the death here.

Mir Ali was not panicked. At this time, he had already received news that Hunis's troops were close to each other. Once Toure was launched, it was the time when Hunis' troops started!

However, Toure's actions exceeded Mir Ali's expectations. After the Toure Brigade arrived here, it did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, it built two low walls with straw bags to fill soil at the exit of the river valley to the west of Mir Ali camp.

One to the east and the other to the west!

"Is this going to trap us to death? Haha, it depends on whoever is trapped to death"

However, Mill Ali was only happy for a while and then he received news that Truqin's army arrived in the east!

Of course, the Huriji brigade arrived. After arriving, he asked a regiment to ride on horseback and the remaining two regiments were as usual, and two low walls were built to the east of the valley!

If Mir Ali attacked regardless of the losses as soon as the two Truqin troops arrived, he might have a glimmer of hope, but he always thought that Hunis would come out from nearby at this time, so he sent only a few cavalry to harass the Truqins, allowing the Truqins to easily complete the construction of the low wall!

As an army that came by boat, Toure could not carry heavy cannons, or a combination of short-barrel cannons and mortars. After having breakfast in the camp between two low walls, he immediately launched an attack on the enemy with a mortar!

Although the mortar can only hit the edge of Mir Ali camp, the rumbling sound of artillery fire obviously messed up their originally calm mind again.

As mentioned earlier, even within the Mir Ali tribe, it is composed of small tribes. Since they are small tribes, they have different demands and may act independently when facing danger.

So the camp became chaotic. Although it was not enough to kill each other, there were obviously quarrels, noisy, and tensions. Seeing this, Mill Ali knew that if he did not attack again, he would start attacking each other before the enemy formally attacked him.

He divided the army into two parts, one led by him personally, attacking the Toure tribe to the west, and the remaining one attacking the Huriyak tribe to the east.

This is exactly what Tourei thinks.

When the overwhelming Balochi light cavalry swarmed, they were greeted by a continuous storm of ammunition!

The battle lasted for half a day. By this time, Mir Ali's troops lost at least half!

But at this time, the Hunis tribe finally appeared!

He also brought 10,000 tribal cavalry, a group of 5,000 troops headed south along the Hubu River and sneaked to Dalavot near Dalavot. The remaining 5,000 people went east out of the Indus River Plain and approached Dalavot from the east of Huriji!

If the Truqin army had not built two low walls before, facing the impact of 20,000 tribal cavalry, even if it was just a cold weapon army, it would be enough for them to drink a pot, but with the blockage of two low walls, they could rely on the low wall to shoot calmly.

Later British people with flintlock rifles withdrew the attack of the Balochs, let alone the Truchens with new rifles?

Half a day later, there were only two or three thousand troops left in the Mir Ali tribe. Hunis outside also suffered heavy losses, with only about three thousand people left on both sides. This was unbearable to Hunis. They abandoned Mir Ali and left.

At this time, as dusk approached, and it was a time of panic. The troops in the east rushed to the Indus Plain regardless of their own efforts, while the troops in the west fled to the Hubu River.

In the barren wasteland, the so-called roads are mostly along valleys or river valleys. Only such places will not be in danger of water shortage.

So, the direction of their escape was very clear.

Before neither of the two men escaped, they were ambushed by another Truqin army!

This is naturally Dunduke's voyage.
