Chapter 67: Decisive Battle of Gandhara (3) Ge Luolu rebelled again
Majid's eyes darkened, "No, after half a year of continuous attack on Kabul, our troops suffered heavy casualties. At this time, the Ghazni people in the south volunteered to participate in the siege, and the Khan agreed."
"Gazni?"
"Yes, no no, no, strictly speaking, it was the Garuo people. The leader of Garuo was a Khan of the Pashtun tribe who had always claimed to be the Garuo people. His name was Inal, and he was known as the descendant of Yehu, the three surnames who had previously dominated the north of China."
"Not long ago, it was because Inale took the lead in surrendering to our Khan, which made the entire Ghazni Pashtun people surrender, but the Khan did not allow them to come and participate in the attack on Kabul"
"This time, because the Herats suffered heavy losses, the Khan agreed. Inale brought 20,000 Ghazni to help the war. Unexpectedly, this guy had already been hooked up with Timur Khan in the city. At that time, because our troops wanted to control the vast area, there were actually only about 40,000 people surrounding Kabul City"
"When Inale appeared, our troops were naturally very excited, and the Khan also announced that he would succeed Ghazni Governor and serve as the deputy Khan of the Khanate, so naturally there was no defense."
"At that time, Inale suggested launching a new round of siege in the early morning of the night, saying that this was the time when the Kabul defenders were exhausted, and the Khan agreed without thinking too much"
"But in the early morning, a large army suddenly came and attacked our army's camp from the north..."
"North?" Harachi understood after he pondered, "Is it the Gilzai people?"
"Yes, it was their leader Sadik Khan who led the Girzai army, with about 20,000 cavalry. Seeing this, the Khan asked Inal not to attack Kabul City, but to assist our army in besieging the Girzai people. Inal pretended to agree, but suddenly counterattacked halfway and attacked the northern camp of our army with the Girzai people."
"The north camp collapsed soon. At this time, Timur Khan in the city personally led 20,000 elite cavalry out of the city to attack the south camp where Da Khan was located. So their number actually reached 60,000, while we only had 40,000 people"
"Due to the collapse of the northern camp, our number of soldiers quickly dropped to 30,000, and 30,000 people to 60,000. Especially the troops of Timur Khan who came out of the city were unstoppable. Our army was defeated. The Khan retreated west under the escort of a few guards. At that time, our troops were stationed in the east and had to retreat east along the mountain road."
"Where are the Truchens? Didn't they station large troops in the area of Mazarish Sharif-Kunduz?"
Majid shook his head, "They did not appear in this battle. Since the Uzbeks led by the Khan were mainly arranged in the east, we wanted to join Adani Khan, but the Peshawars stationed at the Khyber Pass did not allow us to pass..."
"Aren't you all Uzbek?"
"Who said no, but they just didn't allow us to pass. In a fit of anger, we fought hard to attack the mountain pass, and finally took the mountain pass and entered the Mardan Basin. After this battle, and not getting any cheaper near Kabul, everyone was angry and began to rob the Mardan Basin."
"At this time, we learned that Adani Khan was fighting on the oasis plain to the east. Our number was not large. Although we defeated a Uzbek cavalry composed of all the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, the number of people dropped sharply to only two thousand after the battles of the Khyber Pass and the Mardan Basin."
"I thought Adani Khan would receive the news here soon. His men had tens of thousands of elite Uzbek cavalry, so they were not going to stay in the Mardan Basin for too long. Moreover, Inal also chased after him, so we had to run around in all directions"
"So your movie has crossed the Kohart Pass and is ready to run south?"
Majid nodded, "We have a reason to plunder in the Mardan Basin, but my direct troops have not participated in the plunder at all. If Inal hadn't pursued me, I would have wanted to go east to tell the truth to Adani Khan, and ask him to take us in the face of the same clan so that we can fight back against Inal"
Harach asked, "Are you sure you haven't robbed in the Mardan Basin?"
Majid immediately made a sworn act to the sky, "Allah is above, my Majid tribe did not participate in the plunder in the Mardan Basin. Those who carry out the plunder are all other tribes that do not obey the control."
After making the swearing, he looked at Harach again, "Adani and I are both Mahmoud Khan's son-in-law, how could I do such a thing that my relatives are sad and enemies are happy?"
Harach couldn't help but feel chilled and thought to himself: "Adani is Durani's son-in-law. It seems that he is Mahmoud's son-in-law at the same time. The reason why Majid didn't know the identity of our army and confuses him with everything to me was not because he did not rob, but because of Inal's army coming!"
"And what should I do at this time? I believe that the Fourth and Third Highness have received news from the incident in Kabul. What role will our country be playing in it?"
Then he said: "The situation is unknown. I will camp in Kohart tonight. In this way, your troops are small, so you will be stationed within our army."
He was going to use the telegraph machine to figure out the real situation before making plans. In order to prevent the Inale troops from attacking, he asked his subordinates to lay a low wall near the camp.
That night, after contacting him via telegram, he roughly figured out the whole story.
When he arrived here, he could directly contact Asina in the north of Afghanistan and Toure in Multan in the south.
Sure enough, Asina in the north sent him instructions first and his part.
"The battle of Kabul happened suddenly, and we just got the news. Since your troops have approached the Mardan Basin, immediately repel the Inal tribe and guard the Khyber Pass"
After all, Harach was directly under the jurisdiction of Toure, so he had to continue waiting for his news. However, he waited for the news of Toure for a night, but instead waited for Inal's army!
Inale also came in person!
It seems that he is preparing to kill Majid's troops, or is he preparing to go south from here to block Adani's retreat.

Unlike most Afghans, Inale does not have a thick turban, but they all have long hair. The ends of the hair are braided, then wrapped around the head, and then wrapped a layer of turban on the outside. One end of the turban is placed on the chest, and the braid also reveals the turban.
Judging from its appearance, although it is also a high nose and deep shape, it is still more like oriental people than the Pashtuns. It is a type between Hazara and Pashtuns.
But the weapons in their hands were still bows, arrows, sabers, and a few people held spears and bones, which obviously retained some of the previous habits of the Geluo people.
Their number exceeded 10,000 people, and they were running around the low wall made by the Truchens, probably observing the situation inside.
Harachi thought to himself: "Since Inale has rebelled against Mahmoud and has come here again, it is obvious that Timur Khan has given him the position of Governor of Peshawar, but if he wants to keep this place firmly, he must take Adani, and Majid will not take it in his eyes at all."
"However, if the Adani army knew the news within their jurisdiction, they could enter from the mountains east of Rawalpindi, and they did not have to enter from the Indus River Basin. If I were Inal, it would be better to directly enter the first zone of Rawalpin and take up the castle there first"
"Why do you still have to come to the Kohart Basin?"
"There is only one reason, that is, the Adani army has successfully escaped the entanglement of the Sikhs, or that they finally abandoned the things they had plundered in the Lahore area and went north along the Indus River!"
"Inale got the news to stop Adani near the pass where the Indus River flowed into the Great Plains!"
"But why did His Highness Toure not give me instructions? By the way, it was probably because of Adani's sudden departure, the Sikhs near Lahore did not suffer fatal losses, and the Sikhs had no reason to surrender to the power of our army immediately"
"From the perspective of His Highness Toure, if my army enters the Mardan Basin, it can only defend the Khyber Pass, but cannot take down the entire basin. He obviously got the news of the Battle of Kabul. For our country, it is serious to let the Gloro people rage in the Mardan Basin and make the local population significantly reduce."
"But Ashina gave me this order again, which was contrary to his thoughts. This is why he has not given me a new order."
"But nowadays, our army has been surrounded by Inale's army, and it is impossible not to fight a war with him. If Inale is weakened, then it will encourage Adani. However, wouldn't it be better if the third prince sent another army to follow Adani north at this time?"
"No, no, no, the third prince's intention was to make Adani fight with Inale, but unfortunately, my chess piece was involved in their fight at the wrong time..."
At this moment, Inale may have seen the Yuezhi Bey Mountain Eagle Banner in the Haraqi Camp, and had his cavalry dismounted and carried a large shield to attack.
"Well, if we want to completely capture the Mardan Basin, our army will eventually fight a war that is enough to intimidate the tribes..."
Just as he ordered the soldiers to prepare for combat, he received another telegram.
This telegram was actually transferred through the telegram relay station every 500 miles from the Truqin Empire. The telegram was issued by Qitade himself!
"Stop holding the troops"
Harachi couldn't help but feel a little crying.
"Your Majesty obviously wants Adani and Inale to join forces so that our country can reap profits, but now..."
He suddenly thought of something, "Adani abandoned the women and property he had finally robbed and retreated in a hurry. How could the Sikhs not chase after him? However, there were not many Sikh cavalry and they would definitely not be able to catch up with Adani, but they could directly enter the first person in Rawalpin from the west."
"At that time, in order to retaliate against the burning, killing and looting of the Uzbeks in Punjab, they will also burning, killing and looting in the first area of Rawalpin"
He quickly called the guards, "Immediately replace the eagle flag of Yuejibishan and replace the military flag of the Truqin Empire!"
Sure enough, when his camp fired a new flag, Inal's attack immediately stopped, and Majid in the camp was also stunned.
He asked someone to call Majid.
