Rostam Unhorses Afrasiab; Houman Strikes

From B10.9, Afrasiab Flees before Rostam. It illustrates B10.9.16–27:

B10.9.16
When Rostam saw the dark advancing flag,He sprang, a lion loosed upon a stag;
B10.9.17
He gave swift Rakhsh the rein and drove him hard,And charged through every rank without regard.
B10.9.18
He closed with Afrasiab in the fight,Blood streamed like water from his arrow’s bite.
B10.9.19
An arrow with a willow-leaf point flew,And pierced his helmet’s crown as it drove through.
B10.9.20
His spear drove hard against the hero’s chest,And pierced the leather binding at his vest,
B10.9.21
But Babr-e Bayan turned the spear away;Then Rostam roared and drove into the fray.
B10.9.22
He drove his spear into the charger’s flank;The wounded horse beneath the thrust then sank.
B10.9.23
It crashed to earth beneath the fatal blow,And hurled Afrasiab from the saddle low.
B10.9.24
He reached to seize him by the belt and stayHis road of war before he fled away;
B10.9.25
But Houman saw and raised his gorz on high,Then charged at Rostam with a battle cry.
B10.9.26
He struck the hero’s shoulder with the blow,Both armies roared as iron thundered low.
B10.9.27
Then Rostam wheeled to see who dealt the stroke;His hold on Afrasiab at once broke.
