When the
Moors saw his body on the ground, they struggled to pick it up.
This was the King of Lower India who had spoken so boastfully.
When the other king saw his brother dead, he fought desperately.
The other kings were told of his death, the King of Bogia in
particular, for he had brought them together. Then they raised
camp and set up their tents at the foot of the mountain.
The Christians, seeing how many men they had and that Tirant was
wounded and in great pain, decided to leave during the night.
The following morning the Moors prepared to give battle, but they
found no one. They followed the Christians' tracks and came to
the city where they had taken refuge.
Tirant had Lord Agramunt take his men out and do battle with
them, and many men died on both sides. Then the Christians
retreated back into the city while the Moors pounded on the gates
with their lances.
The following day Lord Agramunt led his men into battle, and many
died on both sides, and again they retreated into the city.
