Anonymous Book of Dede Korkut — Legend VI: The Story of Seghrek…

Six hundred black-clad infidels attacked them there, killing the Oghuz warriors and capturing Eghrek, whom they put in the dungeon of Alinja Castle.
The news crossed the dark mountains and bloody rivers until it reached the country of the strong Oghuz. Grief broke loose in front of Ushun Koia's house. His gooselike daughter took off her white clothing and put on black. Ushun Khoja and his white-faced wife cried: "Son, son!"
Whoever has sides and ribs grows. Ushun Khoja's younger son Seghrek grew to be a brave, gallant and reckless young man.

Anonymous Book of Dede Korkut — Legend VI: The Story of Seghrek…

They picked sixty armed men, and these sixty infidels in armor fell upon the young man suddenly.
A suit of armor is judged by its clanking and a horse by the sound of its hoofs. You know, my khan, that horses hear well. The stallion that the young man had ridden warned him by pulling on its bridle. When the young man saw that a group of horsemen was coming, he sprang up. Repeating his belief in Mohammed — may his name be praised —, he mounted his horse and struck at the black-dressed infidels with his sword until he drove them into the castle.
