This further duplicity appears to have thrown them off their guard, and made them trust to the word of a Mughal prince. They returned, and brought out their people; and a great number of the soldiery of Baghdad and other persons, in hopes of saving themselves, came out along with them to Hulaku’s camp. On their arrival there, they were all distributed among the different bands of Sadahs and Dahahs; and, shortly after their return thither, an arrow from the city—for hostilities do not seem to have been suspended during these negotiations—struck a Hindu \[probably a native of Hind, but not necessarily, although possibly, a worshipper of idols, is here meant\] Bitikchi, in the eye, and destroyed it. \[Von Hammer, by some error, turns this upside down, and says that an Indian struck out the eye of one of the principal emirs!\]. As this man was one of Hulaku’s chief officials, he was so enraged that he ordered his troops to the assault, and to strain every nerve to capture the city. - [Previous: 291.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.3.4) - [Next: 291.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.3.6) - [Up: 291.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.3.5) · Pramāṇa
