This being done, he himself crossed over at the head of his chosen men. Some little confusion occurred in the passage, but the troops all got over together, and advanced a short distance on the other side, when a strong force of the enemy came in view. Muhammad Husain Mirza, with 1500 Mughals, all devoted men of his own, came up and fell upon the advanced force under Muhammad Kuli Khan and Tarkhan Diwana. Simultaneously the Habshis and Afghans attacked Wazir Khan, and then the fight grew close and warm. The Emperor perceived some signs of weakness and distress in the advanced force, so he gave the word, and charged the enemy like a fierce tiger. Another body of the royal forces came up and took them in flank. Saif Khan Koka made a rash charge and was killed. Muhammad Husain Mirza and Shah Mirza struggled manfully, but ill-luck attended them, so they turned and fled. The royal troops advanced and cut off some. His Majesty with several of his men drew up and stood fast. Muhammad Husain Mirza had received a wound, and in his haste to make his escape, he put his horse at a thorn hedge, but the animal fell. One of the royal troops, a Turk named Gada 'Ali, who pursued him, threw himself from his horse and made him prisoner. - [Previous: 50.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.50.2.2) - [Next: 50.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.50.2.4) - [Up: 50.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.50.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.50.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.50.2.3) · Pramāṇa
