The Bábís are reinforced and the enemy flee
As the small party of fourteen Bábís from the fort were combatting the army, suddenly other Bábís from outside the fort arrived to aid them. They came not just from the town of Nayríz but also from the neighboring villages. To the reinforcement of the Bábí men in battle was added an uprising from the roof-tops of the Bábí houses in Nayríz. This was the voices of the Bábí women of Nayríz who now rushed to their roof-tops and screamed out the cry of “Alláh-u-Akbar” and cheered their young and old men in the field of battle. The uproar caused by the Bábí women of Nayríz was such that it filled the hearts of the encamped soldiers with fear.42_ACT12
The scene at the camp of the enemy was chaotic. Abandoning their positions, the soldiers fled. The enemy encampment in front of the Fort was now desolate and forsaken.
