The Mongol army, pretending a retreat, turned back, encircled the Seljuk army and defeated it.

Eventually, the Seljuk army was left without leaders and most of their soldiers had deserted, without seeing any combat.

Çubuk was a commander in the Seljuk army.

The next day some foraging parties under Bryennios discovered the Seljuk army and were forced to retreat back to Manzikert.

In the Battle of Dorylaeum the main Seljuk Turkish army was defeated.

At this point his advance guard met the Seljuk army which was rapidly approaching Manzikert.

But Chagri preferred to fight and he commanded the Seljuk army.

The Seljuk army was present near the battle, but did not take part.

Despite his numerical superiority, al-Afdal's army was hardly as strong or dangerous as the Seljuk armies that the crusaders had encountered previously.

But with the diversion of resources needed to suppress the revolt, the Seljuk army was severely affected.
