18th century warfare in Central Asia

As it says on the tin, what was warfare like with the steppe people? Did they still have mounted archers or use carbines more? Until repeaters were developed, I've read that archery was still effective, as seen by the Native American plains tribes. And was the Jezail musket used before the Anglo-Afghan wars? I've read contradictory histories on the weapon.

If anyone can help, thanks.:)
