Upon consultation with his brother, she recommended that he should send all the troops to pay their respects to her, and should give out that the prince, the son of Ahmad Khán, had arrived, in order that the enemy might be distracted, and not entertain the persuasion that they had really killed the commander of their enemy's troops. Accordingly, all the cavalry dismounted, and made their obeisances, while the kettle-drums resounded with loud notes of joy. The Imperialists, notwithstanding their victory, were perplexed, and in the midst of their doubts, were suddenly attacked so furiously by Ahmad Khán's army, that they were put to flight. Ahmad Khán, when he heard of the victory of his army and the salutary aid afforded by that woman, was astounded with joy ; and when he saw her arrive, decked in martial array, he praised her valour and conduct, and bestowed jewels upon her to the value of 10,000 rupees. - [Previous: 2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.2.3) - [Next: 2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.2.5) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.2.4) · Pramāṇa
