The fall into the hands of the English and he shot him, so he fell dead. When the Arabists saw what had happened to the commander of the train and all the English, they threw down their weapons. The third division knew the end of the struggle. All the Iraqis reached the occupation of the city of Zagazig with their leader, Makfaron. As for the second division, which marched to Cairo on the bank of the canal, it crossed the canal from the direction of Tel el-Kebir and marched stealthily in the form of an attack. They continued like this until they reached the city of Bilbeis at night, so they attacked it at night, with caution and reservation. Then they marched at dawn on the third day, which was the first of Dhu al-Qi'dah. The mud and some of the forts were left behind. They continued their march until they saw the blackness of Cairo at about half past ten in the morning. Their horses' hooves did not touch the ground of Abbasiya until sunset, so they dismounted there, in the worst condition from exhaustion, the heat of the sun, lack of water, and intense movement. The number of those who entered Abbasiya that night was about seven thousand fighters, and about three thousand others marched towards it at night, entering it at about three in the morning. They expelled the Egyptian soldiers who were there, and the prisoners and their soldiers were imprisoned, along with the leaders of the gang, the governors, the notables, and others. Likewise, they freed the prisoners of the rebels. It is said that the commander of the English forces who went to the Citadel of Helmiya by way of the Citadel from the direction of Abbasiya did not capture two of them. The Egyptian soldiers who were guarding Abbasiya were ordered to surrender on the road, but they refused, so he ordered them killed. They obeyed and marched with the English until they entered the Citadel. Their commander welcomed them and ordered them to be brought before the General, and they were released after mercy. There were about four thousand Egyptian soldiers in the Citadel that night. Commander of the armies, Kal-Adl, surrendered without a fight, threw down their weapons, and immediately descended to the English in Cairo. When the Citadel was captured by them, the English commander received the keys to the positions and gates. With him was Muhammad Sultan. The commander of the English armies marched, accompanied by Taggemad Pasha, the head of the country's deputies, and some of the senior Egyptian officers. They hurried to meet them, some government officials who were imprisoned by the Arabs in Cairo. Fawzi Bey, the chief of police of the city, saw them. When the General entered Abbasiya with his army, Ahmed Arabi and all his companions found him. Ahmed Arabi found the armies of Abbasiya demanding strength. He stood up with his request, accompanied by Asmat and Ali Yusuf. This is the one who was at the forefront of Tel el-Kebir.
