This disposition being made, he came out of the groves, and ordered Bulend-qhan to wheel round, and to penetrate into the intrenchment by that part that closed with the city wall; by which manoeuvre he would fall on the enemy's rear. He followed himself, and he attacked the intrenchment in front, but at the other extremity of the same, where commanded Radja Sunder-sing, Radja Kyret-chund, and the other Gentoo officers. Bulend-qhan having advanced by the horse-market, and a part of Djaafer-qhan's garden, turned the intrenchment, and fell upon Nassyr-aaly-qhan, and his son, Seyd-aaly, as well as upon Mirza Ramazani, son-in-law to Murtezevi-qhan, all of whom were stationed at that part. On the first onset, Nassyr-aaly-qhan was wounded with a sabre, and fell dead; and he was instantly followed by Seyd-aaly, and Mirza-Ramazani; and Naher-qhan-mevati being wounded, fled for his life; and thus Bolend-qhan got within the intrenchment. Those that defended it, took fright and fled; and his Afghans finding tents and shops, full of effects, fell a plundering without minding anything else. Meanwhile, Mustapha-qhan having on his side turned the intrenchment, attacked and carried it at once, making a great slaughter of its defenders. Ghazi-qhan the Babozeian, and Sunder-sing's son-in-law, with their troops, were there put to the sword; everything was in confusion instantly.
