When the Sultan heard of Ilak Khan crossing the Jihun with 50,000 men or more, he went in haste from Tukhiristan to Balkh, and remained there in order to anticipate Ilak Khan, who wished to obtain supplies from that province. The Sultan advanced ready for action with an army composed of Turks, Indians, Khiljis, Afghans, and Ghaznivides.
