Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox military conflict The Battle of Dandanaqan (Шаблон:Lang-fa) was fought in 1040 between the Seljuq Turkmens and the Ghaznavid Empire near the city of Merv (now in Turkmenistan).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The battle ended with a decisive Seljuq victory, which subsequently brought down the Ghaznavid domination in Greater Khorasan.Шаблон:Sfn

Background

Forced out of Transoxiana in 1034 by the Karakhanids, the Seljuks settled in Khwarazm under the advocacy of the Ghaznavid governor Harun.Шаблон:Sfn His murder in 1035, forced them to flee through the Kara Kum desert towards Merv, but they switched instead to Nasa on the edges of Khurasan.Шаблон:Sfn Hearing of this threat, Ghaznavid sultan Ma'sud I sent Iltughdi with a large army to Nasa.Шаблон:Sfn Initially successful having driven off the Seljuk forces, the Ghaznavid army began squabbling over the spoils.Шаблон:Sfn The Seljuk, led by Chaghri, returned and fell upon the disorganized Ghaznavids and defeated them.Шаблон:Sfn As a result, Ma'sud entitled the Seljuk to three cities in Khurasan, Dihistan, Nasa, and Farawa.Шаблон:Sfn After conducting raids as far as Balkh, all of Khurasan fell to the Seljuk Turks.Шаблон:Sfn

Battle

During the march of Mas'ud's army to Sarakhs, the Seljuq raiders harassed the Ghaznavid army with hit-and-run tactics. Swift and mobile Turkmens were better fit to fight battles in the steppes and deserts than was the conservative heavily-laden army of Ghaznavid Turks. Seljuq Turkmens also destroyed the Ghaznavids' supply lines and so cut them off the nearby water wells. This seriously reduced the discipline and the morale of the Ghaznavid army.

On May 23, 1040, around 16,000 Seljuk soldiers engaged in battle against a starving and demoralised Ghaznavid army in Dandanaqan and defeated them near the city of Merv destroying a large part of the Ghazanavid forces.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
