262 DYNASTY OF THE KAJAIIS.
night, he performed a march ol twenty-two para-
sangs : but Abd-ur-rahmin Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. , at the dawn of
day, receiving notice of this forced march, left his
family and children behind; and taking with him his
friends and allies, drew them out in order ol battle;
having first sent a person, with all haste, to apprise
Farraj Allah Khan and Aman Allah Khan of the
frauds and plots of his implacable foes. On hear
ing this intelligence, they immediately set out with
a part of the ever-victorious troops, although the
rear-guard was still far behind. The nobles arrived
on the field of battle just at the moment when Abd-
ur -rahmin was defeated, and on the point of flight
and ruin. Farraj Allah Khan, and the other chief
tains, on witnessing this posture of affairs, drew
their rapidly-striking swords, and charged the sol
diers of Suleiman Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. . The martial weapons ol
these noble Khans were found in every part of the
tumult of the varied contest; the heads of cham
pions, smitten off by the curved blade of the cres
cent-shaped faulchion, were rolling over the plain,
like so many balls ; the blood -shedding sword, an
the gore-dripping spear, became, in the warriors
hands, as veins of the ruby or branches of the
coral. For one hour and a half, horse and foot
intermingled, and maintained the combat: at
last, through the holy influence of the King o
Valour (Aly), and the energetic power of the c i-
mate -conquering sovereign's horoscope, the Bagda
army was defeated: nearly 3000 persons were
slain ; and Suleiman Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. , and 2000 or 3000 men,
were taken prisoners. Abd-ur-rahmin Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. ^as
