These men stood their ground like a wall, from which fell such a rain of balls, as appalled the most daring. Nevertheless the enemy was flying. In this state of things Dilir-qhan was wounded by a musket-ball, that pierced both his cheeks, and Assalet-qhan, his brother, was run through by a spear, which made a large wound. Thirty of his bravest men were slain outright, and forty more disabled by their wounds; they all drank with open cheerful countenances, the bitter cup presented them by death, and plunged together in eternity. Forty more were wounded, most of whom followed their heroical Commanders, as few of these recovered of their wounds. But yet, in consequence of this vigorous attack, the enemy had been put into much disorder, and had turned their backs; and the English fire seemed silenced. Rehem-qhan and Ghulam-shah, two principal Commanders on Ram-narain's side, were taken prisoners by some of Cam-car-qhan's and Medar-ed-doula's soldiers. Murly-dur was taken by Cam-car-qhan himself, and became his prisoner. Murad-qhan, the Balluch, and Ahmed-qhan, the Coreishy, escaped by flight; in one word, all that line fled. As soon as the English fire was silenced, and the enemy was seen flying, Cam-car-qhan fell upon Ram-narain, who yet stood his ground with a small number of men. This Governor, unable to stand such an attack, sent to the English Commander to request one-half of his men.
