Mahmud is not content with holding Qandahar.
He had already launched an expedition against Kerman in 1719 and in 1721 he besieged the city again.
Failing in this attempt and in another siege on Yazd, in early 1722, Mahmud had turned his attention to the shah's capital Isfahan.
Rather than biding his time within the city and resisting a siege in which the small Afghan army is unlikely to succeed, Sultan Husayn marches out to meet Mahmud's force at Golnabad.
Here, on March 8, the Persian royal army is thoroughly routed and flees back to Isfahan in disarray.
