On his accession he was acknowledged by many chiefs and princes; but some of his generals taking offence, went off with the greater part of his Toorky horse, the flower of his army. These, connecting themselves with other malecontents in the districts, advanced with a great force towards Dehly, where they were opposed by Altmish, and defeated. Their chief, Furokh, was slain in the field, and the rest were so closely pursued, that in a short time they were all either killed or taken, which established Altmish on the throne. - [Previous: 27.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.27.3) - [Next: 27.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.27.5) - [Up: 27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.27) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.27.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.27.4) · Pramāṇa
