Before they could reach the camp of Mangu Khan, he, with his own forces, and the troops of Batu, fell upon that array, wielded the sword among them, and despatched about ten thousand Mughals of rank and renown, leaders of armies [!], to hell ; and extirpated all who belonged to the army or were dependents of Chaghatae’s sons ; and set his mind at ease.
