[1373 Kandahar was captured]
Mohammed Yakub Khan is already in a semi-crazy state.
The coach lost control, and the situation below can be imagined. It was originally an army composed of dozens of leaders from various lines. Without the unified command of Mohammed Yakubkhan every day, the situation became even more chaotic and collapsed the next day.
The British and Indian forces attacked for more than 20 hours in a row. The British artillery fire was very fierce, and the Indian forces were driven away. The entire square team was pressed over. Of course, the formation was very scattered and could only be considered as a square team.
However, with British artillery and the number of Indians threatening to join the army, this attack power is still enough to suppress the indigenous Afghan defenders who have no rules.
"Your Majesty, no, the British and Indians have attacked Kandahar from many places!" Yamlali said with red eyes and said to the drunken Mohammed Yakub Khan.
"What did you say?" Mohammed Yakub Khan opened Yamrali's hand who was shaking his arm hard, "What did you say? Get out! Don't disturb me to drink, I still want to drink, wine!"
"Your Majesty!" Yamrali stomped his feet in anger, but there was no way.
At this time, the internal chaos of Kandahar was in chaos. Some of the leaders' army had collapsed, or were taken out of Kandahar by the leaders to break out, and some were still fighting to the death, threatening to join the army with the British and Indian forces.
"The British have already attacked Kandahar! Either surrender or break through, there is no other way!" Yamlali said angrily. He was originally hoping to surrender to China, but now Yamlali feels that the situation is hopeless. Now it seems that it is too late to surrender. Whether he can escape Kandahar is a big problem.
Mohammed Yakubkhan ignored Yakubkhan, no matter how Yamlali shook him, and only clamored to drink.
With a bang, a shell was dropped outside Mohammed Yakubkhan's residence. Fortunately, it was a solid bullet, which was very dynamic and not very powerful.
However, this shock completely shocked Mohammed Yakub Khan and stood up suddenly, "What's going on?"
"The British and Indians have attacked Kandahar from many places!" Yamlali hurriedly said when Mohammed Yakub Khan recovered some of his consciousness.
Mohammed Yakubkhan was in horror and looked for his clothes everywhere. A maid had already come up to help him wear them.
"Quick, break through quickly, escape first." Mohammed Yakubkhan said to Yamlali while asking the maids to dress him.
Yamrali sighed and thought to himself that you made a decision earlier, and you personally led people to stick to it yesterday, or led people to break through, why do you have to be so embarrassed now? However, he still recruited guards to convey the orders of Mohammed Yakubkhan. Yamrali did not have the power to command the army, otherwise the situation would not have become like this all at once.
It was too late, and the British army had already begun to attack Mohammed Yakubkhan's residence!
Mohammed Yakubkhan personally led hundreds of guards to fight back. Mohammed Yakubkhan's personal guards still had certain combat effectiveness and were loyal enough. Shields, bows and arrows could delay the British offensive on the streets made of twists and turns, but this was just a delay in time.
The indigenous army with less than 500 people had to face a regular British army of thousands. This small battlefield temporarily formed a confrontation.
Other British and Indian troops were threatening to join the army and were fighting the still-resisting Afghan army everywhere in the city.
"Surrender quickly and put down your weapons! Otherwise, you will be killed later." The British soldiers shouted while firing their guns, including Indians threatening to join the army and able to speak Afghanistan language, so the Afghan indigenous troops could understand it. If it weren't for Mohammed Yakubkhan's personal guard, they would have surrendered long ago, and the two sides would not compete at the same level.
"Surrender to the British!" Mohammed Yakub Khan made up his mind.
Yamlali snorted, "You surrender at this time and you will never have a better life when you arrive at the British army. Even the respect of ordinary soldiers is not expected. He is very disappointed with Mohammed Yakub Khan.
"Go and send the order! Tell them all to put down their weapons. Do you want me to go and call me in person?" Mohammed Yakub Khan said to Yamlali angrily.
Yamlali simply squatted aside, "After you surrender, your status will definitely be inferior to me. From now on, don't talk to me with this attitude anymore. You should go to yourself!"
Mohammed Yakub Khan looked at Yamlali in shock. For more than ten years, Yamlali has been respectful to him. He did not expect Yamlali to suddenly become this face? "You!"
Mohammed Yakubkhan angrily pulled out his waist knife to kill Yamrali.
Yamlali also stood up and pulled out his knife: "What do you want to do?"
Several of the personal guards around Mohammed Yakubkhan were confused and looked at Mohammed Yakubkhan and Minister Yamlali in shock, at a loss.
"Kill him for me!" Mohamed Yakubkhan said to the guards beside him.
Several personal guards did not move. Not far away, a group of Mohammed Yakub Khan's personal guards were fighting desperately with the British army. But Mohammed Yakub Khan was turning against his closest minister. These personal guards had lost consciousness and stood there dumbly.
"See it? This is the end of surrendering to the British. Ask the Afghans, who is willing to surrender to the British?" Yamlali said angrily.
Mohamed Yakub Khan shouted, "I'll kill you!" He held up his knife and rushed towards Yamlali.
Yamlali gritted her teeth and stabbed Mohammed Yakub Khan to death with one blow! Although Yamlali is a civil servant, she is very strong and is definitely not bloated or obese. Mohammed Yakub Khan who drinks alcohol every day can compare to it.
Several guards looked at each other, looking at Mohammed Yakub Khan who was staring at his eyes, bleeding from his mouth, and Yamulali who was pulling the knife out of Mohammed Yakub Khan's body, but still did not move.
Yamlali said to several people: "Are you going to surrender to the British army or break through with me?"
"Break through!" Several personal guards replied without thinking.
Yamlali looked at the anxious battlefield and nodded, "Okay, let's go quickly, let's ask people to be with us along the way, and how much can you call! Now you can only rely on yourself!"
Yamlali, with several personal guards and some nearby Afghan indigenous soldiers, saw Mohammed Yakub Khan being killed and ran with Yamlali.
Soon, the news that Mohammed Yakub Khan was killed by Yam Lali spread, and the Afghan indigenous troops became even more chaotic. However, no one surrendered to the British, which also showed the Afghans' bloody, tenacious side, and internal chaos. They were really not a group that was easily defeated.
Even the Emperor of China admired this. To be honest, if it were such a small area of China and such a small population, if it was to fight against hundreds of thousands of British troops and Indians, the Chinese might not be able to stand for more than a year.
The more and more people around Yamlali gathered, and thousands of people came, but the British army and the Indian threatened to join the army in Yamlali also gathered more and more. After hearing that Mohamed Yakub Khan was killed, the British front commander issued a death order, not to let go of the established Afghan army, especially not to let go of Yamlali. Once Mohamed Yakub Khan died, no leader could match the appeal of Abdur Rahman Khan. Only Yamlali could continue to fight with a group of Afghan indigenous leaders.
Yamlali desperately led his men to break out from the north. After rushing out of Kandahar, he moved closer to the Helmand River and crossed the river to the north of the Helmand River, and it would be temporarily safe, because the British army and Indian threatened to join the army. It would take time to cross the river, and it would provide him with a certain amount of time to reassemble the troops of various leaders.
