with a small army, and at the Gardaneh Baghan which is about 12 miles from
the town, and where there is only a narrow path to pass through, he had his men
counted and found that his horsemen only numbered 740. He decided then
to remain where he was, and divided his men amongst his seven sons keeping only
40 horsemen for himself. He then ordered Khan Ahmad Khan, his eldest son
to act as vanguard. ’
Allah Guli Khan on his side sent a thousand Zengeneh and Kurds of
his followers, as vanguard, one farsakh in advance of his camp. During the night

on his pursuers and put them to flight. Allah Guli Khan was slain and beheaded
All the enemy’s zambureks, camp, and baggage fell into the hands of Khusrau
Khan. Muhammad Rashid Beg, Nassir Khan Kuliai and many others were taken
prisoners. Muhammad Bashid Beg was forgiven and liberally treated by the Vali.
