The History of Mubārak Shāh 7.24

7.24

When they came near the fort of Tabarhindh, on the first day, Púlád met them and conferred with them in the most friendly way; he also sent them provisions, and made them feel at ease. Next day he sallied out of the fort with his men, and made a sudden attack upon them. Malik Yúsuf and Rái Hansu were informed of his treachery, and made their forces ready to meet him. Although the malik's men were all covered with iron, yet they could not stand before the infamous Púlád. At the first onset they were scattered like drops, and he pursued them for a parasang. Then he returned and took possession of their baggage, tents, money, goods, and whatever they had left behind them.
