Both withdrew from the audience-hall of the Khilafat despairing. The Nu-in, Taju \[Tanju\], with 80,000 infidel cavalry, from the side of Aran and Azarbaijan, obtained a bridge \[of boats\] belonging to the Malik of Mausil \[Badr-ud-Din-i-Lulu\], and, in order to command Baghdad, fixed it near to Takrit. The holy-warriors of Takrit sallied out of the town and fortress, and entirely consumed the bridge constructed by the Mughals, and despatched great numbers of the infidels to hell, while a few Musalmans attained martyrdom. The following day, the Mughals repaired the bridge, as has been previously recorded, passed over, and pushed on towards Kufah, Hillah, and T Tart-B, and martyred the people. Malik ’Izz-ud-Din, son of Fath-ud-Din, the Kurd, and Mujahid-ud-Din, the Sar-Dawatf, with 20,000 horse from Baghdad, crossed the Dijlah \[Tigris\], and summoned all the men of Karkh and other towns to aid them, and fought a battle with the infidel army. As the forces of Islam contained a great number of infantry, they stood firm, and received the attack of the infidels, fought valiantly, and forced them back. The army of the infidel Mughals sustained an overthrow, and great numbers of them went to hell. - [Previous: 291.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.2.3) - [Next: 291.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.2.5) - [Up: 291.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.2.4) · Pramāṇa
