Bijan Fells Nastihan

From C3.16, Nastihan Is Slain in a Night-Attack. It illustrates C3.16.24–33:

C3.16.24
They raised their gorzes; from the darkened groundA cloud of dust rose up and spread around.
C3.16.25
That dust completely obscured the night skies;Its shadow poured across the Turkish eyes.
C3.16.26
When Bijan saw their ranks concealed in cloud,He called his men and gave command aloud:
C3.16.27
“String bows at once.” The din of battle rose,As every warrior cried against their foes.
C3.16.28
The air turned rust-dark; blood engulfed the plain,A sea of crimson spread among the slain.
C3.16.29
Two-thirds of Turan’s troops lay dead in blood,Beneath the horses’ feet, trod into mud.
C3.16.30
He caught up with Nastihan; overhead,Above his spear, the flag of Viseh spread.
C3.16.31
An arrow flew from Bijan’s mighty bow,And struck the steed beneath his armored foe.
C3.16.32
The wounded horse collapsed in bitter pain;Then Bijan reached his foe upon the plain.
C3.16.33
His gorz struck hard upon the helmeted head,And crushed his brain; there Nastihan lay dead.
