At midnight news came that the Uzbeg were advancing in full force; the commanders announced this simultaneously to the whole army, and up to daybreak every man was busy getting his arms ready \[for action\]. About sunrise . . . . our pickets came in and reported that the Uzbeg army was approaching. Thereupon the Emperor mounted his horse and rode to the top of some rising ground. He saw that there was only one road by which the enemy could advance; on the left hand of the elevation \[on which he stood\] there was another hill, and between the two there was a deep ravine, through which, also, only one road led. When the enemy had deployed on the level plain, they saw that it would be no easy task to ascend \[the first mentioned\] hill. Timur Sultán and some of the other Sultans, with about 10,000 men, detached themselves from the rest of the army and began to mount the other hill. Against these the Emperor sent Mirza Khan with a detachment of brave warriors. At this moment his eye fell upon a body of men, and he asked who they were. When \[my father\] had left Kabul, there were nearly 3000 of his hereditary retainers, \[who had come from Khorasan to Kunduz with the Moghuls\]. - [Previous: 135.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.135.1) - [Next: 135.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.135.3) - [Up: 135](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.135) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.135.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.135.2) · Pramāṇa
