Alim Shaikh Bahádur rode up this passage and charged the infantry of Mirza Aba Bakr, until he came upon a foot-soldier with a shield, who, seeing him come on unchecked, did not attempt to withstand him, but having thrown down his shield in front of the horse of Alim Shaikh Bahádur, ran away. The horse, being terrified at the fall of the shield, reared so badly that Alim Shaikh Bahádur, not able to keep his seat, was thrown. The infantry who were on the other side of the enclosure, now jumped over it and seized Alim Shaikh Bahadur. Meantime, the cavalry of Mirza Abá Bakr charged the Khán's infantry, but these, not deeming it advisable to stand their ground, turned and fled, being followed by those who had come to watch the battle. - [Previous: 82.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.82.2) - [Next: 82.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.82.4) - [Up: 82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.82) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.82.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.82.3) · Pramāṇa
