DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS.
343
had occupied the road in Godovitch's line of march;
and on his arrival in the territory of Erivan, the
collision of the contending forces took place : but
while Husain Khan Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. was engaged in close
combat with the Russians, the Erivany Kurds, on
hearing the report of the Russian cannon, lost all
courage; and although not one man of their body
had received the smallest hurt, they fled from their
post like the wildest beasts of the desert, and,
traversing the valley of flight, reached their tribes ;
which, in the greatest alarm, striking their house
hold tents, and packing up such of their effects as
were at hand, crossed the Aras. The Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. , after
great exertions, considering the smallness of his
force and the multitude of his opponents, saw no
advantage in continuing the engagement, and re
turned to his entrenchments. On hearing this, the
Prince Viceroy immediately ordered Farraj Allah
Khan, by way of Korash, and Aman Allah Khan,
by way of Nakhshiwan, to his assistance; and he
also appointed Ahmed Khan Mukaddam to guard
the confines of Nakhshiwan. At this time, as the
confines of Karabagh, Ardebil, and Mashkin were
stripped of the Heaven-aided troops, it seemed to
him necessary to order forces to these districts : he
therefore detached Ameer Khan Kajar to Mughan
and the summer cantonments of Karachehdagh, with
troops consisting of infantry and cavalry, supplied
with cannon, zambooraks, and abundance of stores.
The victorious retinue, with a number of the at
tendants attached to the royal stirrup, and the
troops from Ferahan and Guzaz, which had not
perfectly learned the New System, halted at Korash.
