Its quite easy to be honest

//create a array with every image according to the API https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#inputmediaphoto


$mediaarray[0] = [
    'type' => 'photo',
    'media' => 'https://picsum.photos/200',
];
$mediaarray[1] = [
    'type' => 'photo',
    'media' => 'https://fastly.picsum.photos/id/15/200/200.jpg?hmac=8F3A7g2kO57xRlUcdio-9o4LDz0oEFZrYMldJkHMpVo',
];
$mediaarray[2] = [
    'type' => 'photo',
    'media' => 'https://fastly.picsum.photos/id/433/200/200.jpg?hmac=dBn6DDBngOA94Grm3jfIJNDtv08GorUvB0zMeAw0Jfs',

];
//create the array with the needed data for sendMediaGroup according to the API https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendmediagroup
$data = [
        'chat_id' => $chat_id,
       	'media' => $mediaarray,
];

//send the MediaGroup
return Request::sendMediaGroup($data);

Please have a closer look at the InputMediaPhoto Type: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#inputmediaphoto

You can add a caption to each photo by adding a "caption" key in the array:

$mediaarray[0] = [
    'type' => 'photo',
    'media' => 'https://picsum.photos/200',
    'caption' => 'This is text, that describes the photo',
];
