Khan-i 'alam, who commanded the advance, held his ground, and was killed. The Altamsh division was next defeated and driven back upon the centre, which in its turn was in great difficulty. Khan-khanan did all in his power, but could not restrain his men. At this time, Gujar Khan attacked and wounded Khan-khanan, and as the latter had no sword, he returned Gujar Khan's cuts with slashes of his whip. In this conjuncture Khan-khanan's horse took fright; and although his rider was anxious to stop him and rally the fugitives, he could not restrain him. The Afghans pursued Khan-khanan for half a kos, when Kiya Khan Gang attacked the Afghans, and showered arrows upon them. The Afghans were exhausted by their long ride, and could not move. Then Khan-khanan got his horse under control, and rallying his men, led them back to the field. They discharged showers of arrows, and by the guidance of fate, an arrow struck Gujar Khan, and brought him down. When the Afghans saw their leader fall, they turned their backs and fled; but many of them were cut down in their flight. Raja Todar Mal, Lashkar Khan, and others who were upon the right, now charged the left of the enemy. Shaham Khan and others, who were on the left, also attacked their opponents of the right, defeated them, and drove them back upon Daud. - [Previous: 55.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.55.3) - [Next: 55.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.55.5) - [Up: 55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.55) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.55.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.55.4) · Pramāṇa
