In the year 1509, [[Shaybani Khan]] proceeded against the [[Kazakhs]]. At that time, although the Khan of the Kazakhs was, [[Baranduk Khan]], yet all the business of government was conducted by [[Kasym Khan|Qasim Khan]] ''Qasim Beg'', son of the late Khan, [[Janybek Khan|Jani Beg Khan]].<ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com.pk/books?id=1pkeWqq7pdgC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=A History of the Moghuls of Central Asia: The Tarikh-i-Rashidi|author=[[Mirza Muhammad Haidar Dughlat]], N.

At that period, the numbers of his army exceeded 20,000.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com.pk/books?id=CHzGvqRbV_IC&source=gbs_navlinks_s|title=The Empire of the Steppes:A History of Central Asia|author=René Grousset|year=1970|publisher=Rutgers University Press|location=|isbn=0813513049|page=|pages=687 |accessdate=2012-11-23}}</ref> In winter time every one stayed in some place where there was fodder for the cattle. In the middle of the winter, [[Shaybani Khan]] was engaged in plundering Kazakh territories, but he soon returned, his object being not to remain too far from his own country. [[Shaybani Khan]] made his last expedition into Kazakh territory, but the strength of his horses and soldiers was quite exhausted; he himself remained in the district of [[Kuk Kashana]], and having detached a force, whose horses had some strength left, sent them forward.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com.pk/books?id=CHzGvqRbV_IC&source=gbs_navlinks_s|title=The Empire of the Steppes:A History of Central Asia|author=René Grousset|year=1970|publisher=Rutgers University Press|location=|isbn=0813513049|page=|pages=687 |accessdate=2012-11-23}}</ref> This party fell in with a few men, whom they despoiled and made prisoners. One day this same party had halted for the sake of feeding their horses, when news came that [[Kasym Khan|Qasim Khan]], ''Qasim Beg'' was close at hand. This news alarmed them. [[Buyun Pir Hasan]], one of [[Kasym Khan|Qasim Khan]]'s Amirs, having heard of the invasion of the [[Uzbeks]], advanced against them with his own army; he spread the report that [[Kasym Khan|Qasim Khan]] was approaching and had let himself be seen in the distance.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com.pk/books?id=CHzGvqRbV_IC&source=gbs_navlinks_s|title=The Empire of the Steppes:A History of Central Asia|author=René Grousset|year=1970|publisher=Rutgers University Press|location=|isbn=0813513049|page=|pages=687 |accessdate=2012-11-23}}</ref> The [[Uzbeks]] being fully persuaded that [[Kasym Khan|Qasim Khan]] was really upon them, abandoned all they had seized, even all they had brought with them and retreated, in the utmost disorder and confusion, to [[Shaybani Khan]], bearing the news of [[Kasym Khan|Qasim Khan]]'s approach. [[Shaybani Khan]] at once ordered them to sound the drum of retreat, without paying attention to anything but getting away.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com.pk/books?id=CHzGvqRbV_IC&source=gbs_navlinks_s|title=The Empire of the Steppes:A History of Central Asia|author=René Grousset|year=1970|publisher=Rutgers University Press|location=|isbn=0813513049|page=|pages=687 |accessdate=2012-11-23}}</ref> The Uzbek army retreated in disorder for the first time in their military career since the advent of [[Shaybani Khan]] and reached Samarkand at the end of the winter. [[Shaybani Khan]] himself went on to [[Greater Khorasan|Khorasan]], where he spent the spring.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com.pk/books?id=CHzGvqRbV_IC&source=gbs_navlinks_s|title=The Empire of the Steppes:A History of Central Asia|author=René Grousset|year=1970|publisher=Rutgers University Press|location=|isbn=0813513049|page=|pages=687 |accessdate=2012-11-23}}</ref>
