Yazdegard Abandoned on the Field

From E10.9, Yazdegard Hides in the Mill. It illustrates E10.9.19–30 (to E10.9.33):

E10.9.19
The Shah knew nothing of the ambush set,Nor that Mahwi Suri had spread the net.
E10.9.20
The shouts arose; at dawn a horseman came,And spoke to Yazdegard in Mahwi’s name:
E10.9.21
“Mahwi declares: ‘The Turks are gathered here;What bidding has the Shah for us to hear?
E10.9.22
The Khan and Faghfoor’s captain leads the horde;Its weight is more than earth can bear, my lord.’”
E10.9.23
The Shah in rage donned jowshan, set to ride;The armies now approached from either side.
E10.9.24
He ranged the center, left and right in line,Then all advanced beneath the battle sign.
E10.9.25
Spear in his hand, he held the center ground,While clouds of dust obscured the world around.
E10.9.26
He saw the Turks engage with heated breath,Unsheathed his sword, and moved like marching death.
E10.9.27
He charged, an elephant in wrath and might;Earth surged like Nile beneath him in the fight.
E10.9.28
He charged the Turkish ranks, but none would stayBehind their king to help him in the fray.
E10.9.29
They turned their backs and left their king alone,Ringed round by horsemen, fighting on his own.
E10.9.30
When Mahwi fled, the Shah knew treason’s art,And saw the secret plot in every part.
