DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS. 349
head by a musket-ball, fell down senseless on
the spot; and the soldiers of his division, seeing
their commander fall, were quite dispirited by his
loss. The golden-winged Simurgh of day now
longed to retire to her western abode ; and the
Prince Viceroy, having collected his cavalry and
infantry, withdrew from the field of battle under
the shadow of his victorious standard, and com-
menced his retreat from the seat of contest in per
fect order. As it was the prince's secret plan to
obtain a decided victory and evident superiority at
the termination of the contest, he, at the moment
of retreat, along with his ever-victorious guards, the
divisions of Chehar Duly and Khajewand, having
drawn the sword of triumph, charged the Russians
scattered about in the vicinity of the lofty moun
tain, and many heads of Russian chiefs ornamented
their spears. As the cannoneers of the train had
only made their first essay, they were not of course
as perfect as the Russians; therefore the prince,
placing himself at the head of the artillery, main
tained the firing, and excited the gunners to keep
U P an incessant fire; and when the heads of the
Russians rolled like balls over the plain, he then
raised the standard of return *.
* The whole account of this battle, if battle it may be called, is
s0 absurd, contradictory, and bombastic, that I can make nothing 1
: but the prince's " secret plan," I suspect, if examined closely,
Wo uldtum out to be, that the Persians, in their retreat, fell in with
ome straggling Russians, put them to death, and carried off their
ea(ls on spears, as a proof of " decided victory " and evident supe-
r Wity.
