Amir Timur's bravery How He Stood in front of Mughal Army of 20,000 Alone? How Timur reached the Mughal army to rescue the abducted girls.
One of the most extensive military empires in the medieval Islamic East was that of Timur,
the fruit of his long years of campaigning and the resultant destruction of many towns and
regions. Into this empire were incorporated, in addition to Transoxania and Khwarazm, the
regions around the Caspian Sea, Iran, Iraq, part of the southern Caucasus, and the territory
of present-day Afghanistan and northern India. The heart of the empire was Transoxania, incorporated after the death of Genghis Khan, and under the terms of the arrangements made by him, into the appanage of Chaghatay.
At the beginning of the fourteenth century, bitter disputes arose between the princes of the other territories of the former Mongol empire and the Chaghatay Khans. in their struggle to increase their power, the Khans sought support not only among the leaders of the Mongol tribes and clans (leaders known as noyans in Mongolian, begs in Turkish), but also among the local feudal landowners and to some extent the urban notables.
Believing two rulers for the inhabited world to be one too many, Timur devoted his own time as ruler to constant and pitiless wars of conquest. The Turco-Mongol military chiefs who were Timur’s mainstay were the chief beneficiaries of the seizures of ever more lands and riches, while the local magnates of Transoxania were also drawn into supporting him by the prospect of the advantages to be gained. No sooner had Timur consolidated his hold on Samarkand than he advanced against the White Horde, which occupied the territory from the region of Yangi-Talas to the borders of Kashghar. The White Horde formed part of the ulus of Jöchi (the eldest son of Chinggis Khan), the other part of which consisted of the Golden Horde. This division stemmed from the way in which the Mongol forces had originally been organized: the Golden Horde manned the right flank, the White Horde the left. As time went by, the White Horde broke away and came under the rule of its own Khans, who were constantly raiding Turkistan and Transoxania
