BATTLE of DANDANAQAN

A bow on the arm of the new ruler who entered the city like a jihad among 3,000 armored guards,   There were three arrows on his waist ...   After this magnificent ceremony, Tuğrul entered the city and sat on the throne of Sultan Mesut.   The Seljuk people were saying that we exist now…   

The Origin of the Seljuk Empire

Oguz's Throne   The state's agenda was the activities of the Seljuks, viziers were thinking about what to do.   Sultan Mesut decided that it was time to personally stop this trend.   Otherwise, Khorasan would be out of hand.   He built a large army, including elephants, and passed from Gazne to Herat.   Although the army is said to have exceeded 100,000, it is estimated that the numbers are not that high.  

Seljuks VS Ghaznavid Empire

 But the prepared force is much more crowded than the previous forces sent over the Seljuks.   and it is strong.   Other political focus arising from the shaking of country prestige   He went to work hoping to snatch a piece of Ghaznavids.   One of them was Böri Tigin from Kara-Han.   Sultan Mesut went over him as the first job.   

Kara-Khan threw his troops far beyond the water.   When the rumor that the Seljuks will break the bridges over Ceyhun appears here   In order not to be in a difficult situation, he returned to Belh.   With a diplomatic move, he sent envoys to add Shah Melik to their ranks.   Çağrı Bey was looting and raiding along Ceyhun at the time.   

The Origin of the Seljuk Empire

In fact, those at his disposal slipped so far into Belh, stealing one of the Sultan's elephants, and fled.   Mesut decided to take action with this last incident.   He asked his servants for his gun. He said that it was a job and started the offensive operation…   Cagri Bey, with the unions of other family members, intended to confront the sultan.   

He got up from where he was and came to Ulya-Abad.   Arriving here before his rival, the Sultan stopped at a high place.   Ghaznavids were thought to defeat the enemy, but the opponent resisted more than expected.   The bored monarch asked for his horse when there was no result.   Armed with arms, got off the elephant, got on the horse.   He attacked with 1000 special guards and dispersed the enemy.   

How was Seljuk established?

The Seljuks were drawn to the desert without forcing too much.   The Gaza army did not follow the enemy who escaped because the desert was dangerous.   Although the Battle of Ulya-Abad did not bring any definitive results, it raised the morale of the Sultan.   Tuğrul, Çağrı, İbrahim and Musa gentlemen   As always, he sent his weights and families to the deserts and came to Serahs with the soldiers at his disposal.   

The sofa was assembled and what to do was discussed.   Mesut, the great Turkish Sultan, was coming towards them with tens of thousands of soldiers.   If all the Turkmen were united for a moment, they doubted that they could not stop this attack.   Tuğrul and İbrahim Yınal among the long quarrels,   He came up with the idea of ​​emigrating to the west because he could not rinse before the enemy.   

There were weak local dynasties in the west of Iran.   There could be raids to the Greek land by holding it there.   Çağrı Bey opposed this idea.   According to him, it would be necessary to stay and fight.   If they escaped, Sultan Mesut would catch them and tarumar.   He had also seen his opponent in Ulya-Abad, knowing the opponent's weaknesses and strengths.   The battle council merged on the idea of ​​Çağrı Bey.  

 War would ...   There were very tough collisions between the two sides on the Belh-Serahs road.   The victory was constantly changing hands, but it was Sultan Mesut who won this round in general and entered Serahs in July 1039.   Mesut thought that his opponent had broken his power with this last victory, but the Seljuks were not shaken.   When the Turkmen gentlemen realized that Mesut was strong, they decided not to fight the battle.   

They were going to do a hit-and-run battle, tiring the opponent by running left and right.   It was already wintered soon.   They were the steppe and desert men who endured the troubles.   They were patient in heat and cold.   But Sultan Masud and his army could not be patient.   How long could they endure trouble?   

They would surely get bored.   And so did Gaznians, who were tired of thirst and exhaustion from the hit-and-run;   He offered a ceasefire to the Seljuks.   The truce was something the Seljuks wanted because they wore out the opponent, but they could not beat it.   The agreement made time for both parties to rest and recover.   Parties retreated to refresh their armies and find new allies…

 The two sides did not trust each other. The deal was born still.   The Seljuks had promised to retreat to the north, but they did not obey these words and continued their raids.   This was something that Sultan Mesut was already waiting for.   The renewed Gazne army set off from Herat again in November 1039.

 The army was learned lessons from the past and equipped more lightly,   the number of equestrian troops was increased, thus the army gained maneuverability.   This time the target was Nişabur.   Mesut knew that his opponent's brain was Tuğrul, so he would catch him in a secret operation.  

 In the operation led by the sultan, Tuğrul Bey was saved after a troublesome adventure.   Although he could not take his weight, he went east with his troops.   Mesut, who did not catch Tuğrul, was very upset.   A few days later, he took Nisabur and entered the city.   He said he would spend it here in winter.
