The moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was just when people were killed and set fire. However, Shaharu led his troops to leave the military camp quietly. However, at the moment he left the camp, Shaharu couldn't help but stop and turned his head to look at the camp behind him, his eyes full of complexity.

Shaharu had many complaints about his father Timur, mainly related to Haril. After all, in his opinion, his father was too confident. Even if Haril was captured, he still wanted to rescue the other party and pass the position of the Khan to him.

However, Shaharu never dreamed that at this critical moment, his father left the opportunity to escape to himself, and after he left, he wrote a suicide note. If Timur unfortunately died in the Ming Dynasty, Shaharu would continue to be his position and command the entire empire.

Thinking of this, Shahru couldn't help but sigh. Although he was very reluctant to leave, he still had to leave. After all, the elites of the empire cannot be lost here. He must lead some people back. Only in this way can the situation within the empire be stabilized and the empire will not collapse.

So in this situation, Shaharu finally turned around and ordered his subordinates to set off with a resolute expression. Tens of thousands of troops also quietly left the barracks under the cover of the night.

Shaharu was not the first group of soldiers leaving the camp. In fact, while Timur asked for peace from the Ming Dynasty in the past few days, he quietly mobilized his troops and let some of them leave the camp while taking advantage of the night. Before Shaharu, nearly 100,000 people had quietly moved out, plus the 30,000 people led by Shaharu, that is, the 130,000 army.

Although this is less than half of Timur's army, as long as the army can escape intact, Shaharu can use them to stabilize the domestic situation. Of course, Timur actually wants to draw more soldiers back, but the Ming army is not a fool. If there are too many people missing for more than 300,000 people, the Ming army will definitely see it.

Shahalu left the camp overnight and walked dozens of miles in one night. Finally, he came to a forest before dawn. During the day, the army rested in the forest because they already knew that the Ming army had hot balloons. This large ball floating in the air could not only attack, but also investigate military information, so they were very careful.

In the next few days, Shaharu also lies out at night and stays in the morning. When he is resting during the day, he will try to choose forests or valleys. When he travels at night, he will be killed by them all when he encounters nomadic tribes to avoid the news.

At the early morning of that day, Shahalu finally came to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. A basin was further ahead. After passing this basin, the road to the Tianshan Mountains was further west. With the steepness of the Tianshan Mountains, as long as they entered the mountains, they would not have to worry about the pursuit of the Ming army.

In front is the entrance of the basin. Most of the 100,000 troops that had withdrawn from the military camp have retreated to the Tianshan Mountains in batches, but there should be some left behind in the basin to guard the basin.

These days, Shaharu and his friends were hiding out at night. They didn't even dare to raise fire when they were resting, and they were worried about exposing their location. So they had to eat dry food these days. Many people had already soaked in their mouths, and even Shaharu couldn't stand it. Now the basin is right in front of them. As long as they get there, they should be able to have a hot meal.

Thinking of this, Shaharu also ordered his subordinates to speed up and want to enter the basin early. After all, it is almost dawn now, and there are not only hot meals in the basin, but also shaded places.

However, just as Shaharu's army was about to enter the basin, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Although it was early morning, so many of them would definitely make a lot of noise when they were moving. The basin was right in front of him, and the people inside should have discovered them long ago.

In other words, people in the basin should send people to greet them, but now they have all reached the entrance of the basin, but the basin is still silent. Not to mention the people who are greeting, there is no sound at all, which makes Shaharu instinctively feel something is wrong.

"Stop!" Shaharu also immediately ordered, and he was careless when he said that. Before he came in, he did not send Tanma to check the situation in the basin. Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed. After all, according to the original plan, the basin is full of its own people, so it should be very safe.

More than 30,000 people were marching at night, and it was not possible for everyone to stop with just one order. Instead, the commander needed to convey the order layer by layer. However, at this moment, a mountain wind blew from the basin, and Shaharu immediately smelled a faint stench. This smell was also very familiar to him, and it was the stench of a corpse after death.

"Retreat!" Shaharu's face immediately changed and he immediately issued a second order. However, the order that stopped had not been conveyed yet, let alone the second order, so the entire army did not react at all.

However, at this moment, I suddenly saw the sky of fire on the hillsides on both sides of the entrance. Then I heard a loud "rumbling ~" sound, which changed everyone's faces. They were so familiar with this sound, it was the artillery of the Ming army.

"How could there be a Ming army here?"

“What happened in the basin?”

“…”

Suddenly, he was attacked by artillery, and Shaharu's subordinates were in chaos. Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

Shaharu was also extremely anxious and kept shouting that he would ask his subordinates to retreat, at least to withdraw from the entrance of the basin, because the terrain here was narrow and there were ambushes of Ming troops on the hillsides on both sides, which was extremely unfavorable to them.

However, Shaharu really overestimated himself and his soldiers' abilities. After all, most of them were exhausted after walking all night. In addition, they thought they could enter the basin and have a good rest, and everyone relaxed, but now they suddenly encountered an attack, which made most people unable to react. Instead, because Shaharu's successive orders caused them to not know which order to listen to, which once again aggravated the original chaos.

The ambushing Ming army did not care about Shaharu's reaction. Under the continuous bombardment of artillery, Shaharu's 30,000 troops were in chaos. Immediately afterwards, muskets and grenades poured down from the hillside. Shaharu's soldiers were also seriously injured. Even Shaharu himself was injured. A bullet hit his right arm, causing the knife in his hand to be thrown away.

In this chaotic situation, Shaharu could not achieve effective command at all. In the end, he could only flee out in a hurry under the protection of his personal guards. As for the others, they could not care about it. However, before Shaharu could escape, a Ming cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking their way.
