VI Forty thousand, not counting the servants. Some news writers said that these Turkish armies, despite their numbers, lacked certain military qualities such as combat experience, good order, obedience, and other qualities necessary for victory and triumph over the enemy. Military positions were given to undeserving individuals from the artisan class who had no character. Therefore, Hafiz Pasha was in constant anxiety and perpetual distress, expecting defeat at any moment of the day. When the sun set that day, the herald of Prince Ibrahim announced, and his soldiers lined up. He addressed them, saying: "You know, brave soldiers, the honor and glory you have achieved so far. All that remains is for you to crown these deeds with a perfect conclusion. Know that you will achieve this only by sacrificing your lives for the honor of the homeland, and by your death, its life. It is better for us to die for the life of the homeland than to live for its humiliation and misery. God Almighty is around us, not against us, and He is our sufficiency and the best protector." At that, a group of officers shouted: "God, God! There is no power nor strength except in God." They spent that night. Hafiz Pasha had seen that complete victory lay in a surprise night attack on the Egyptians. He ordered Ismail Pasha, one of the senior officers, to take a group of artillerymen at midnight and descend upon the left flank of the Egyptians. When they were close to them, they were to open fire on them with cannons and subject them to intense fire. The narrator said that the Egyptians did not realize until the Turkish forces had surrounded them from all sides and their banners were raised over the tents of Prince Ibrahim and the Frenchman Sulayman Pasha. They woke up in terror and were almost torn to pieces. They called out for a general mobilization, and they rallied to defend themselves and fought until dawn. They defeated the Sultan's armies, repelled them, and killed a number of them. When morning came, Prince Ibrahim surveyed the positions of the Sultan's armies and saw that they were on a high ground surrounded by ravines like natural trenches. The positions of the Egyptian armies that day were extremely precarious, exposed to the enemy's cannon fire. This matter greatly troubled him, especially since he had seen the movements of the Sultan's armies and the foreign officers with them, which astonished and frightened him. He ordered the Frenchman Sulayman Pasha to arrange the ranks and secure the positions. He called for the army to be ready for battle and prepared for the charge and engagement. Some of them showed a degree of disobedience, so he hastened to lead them to the battlefield. The battle ensued between the two sides, the sounds of cannons rose, ranks clashed with ranks, swords met swords, and the earth trembled from the horror of that difficult day. The Turks stood with astonishing steadfastness and inflicted severe damage on the Egyptians, driving them back and conquering them. A group of them fled across the land, and their defeat was almost complete. There was back and forth, thrusting and parrying, until they managed to achieve victory near Nisibis. The Turkish troops scattered in disarray, and Hafiz Pasha fled to the city of Urfa. The Egyptians seized the supplies, livestock, many tents, and pack animals in the Turkish camp, and captured about fifteen thousand Turks. Prince Ibrahim found in his tent...
