The Nāṣirī Generations 284.1.5

284.1.5

Next morning early Batu passed over and attacked the Bulan in person. By what means he crossed with his army, whether by a bridge or otherwise, is not stated, but it must have been a hazardous proceeding. Repeated charges were made upon the enemy, but they, being so strong in point of numbers, did not move from their position; and Shaiban greatly distinguished himself, in such wise that his prowess called forth praises from both sides. The force which, under Boroldae, had passed over during the night, now attacked the enemy in the rear. The Mughal troops penetrated into their camp, and began cutting the ropes of the tents. They made towards the tent of Kalar, their Badshah [Bela IV., king of Hungary of European writers?], and cut the ropes with their swords, and overturned it. Seeing this, his soldiers lost heart, and the main body of the Mughal army under Batu, having pushed forward at the same time, the Bulan gave way and took to flight. The Mughals pursued, and made such slaughter among them “as cannot be computed.”
