The '''Battle of Parwan''' was fought between [[sultan]] [[Mingburnu|Jelal ad-Din Mingburnu]] of the [[Khwarezmid Empire]] and the [[Mongols]]. The sixty thousand men of the sultan were badly equipped and tired but after a battle that lasted a day, the sultan was able to overcome his enemies. This was one of the few times the Mongols were decisively defeated, but it brought the full rage of Ghenghis Khan himself after [[Mingburnu|Jelal ad-Din Mingburnu]]who simply did not have the resources left to fight another, larger, army, under the Great Khan himself, who had never been defeated in battle since his youth. After having won, Mingburnu headed for India to seek refuge together with his army of some fifty thousand men and several thousand refugees. However, he was caught, and defeated by [[Chinggis Khan]] at the [[Battle of Indus]]. |

For his performance, he was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Movie, Miniseries or Special - Supporting Young Actor.<ref name="imdbawards">{{cite web | title=IMDB | work=IMDB Awards for Zac Efron | url=http://imdb.com/name/nm1374980/awards | accessdate=March 13 | accessyear=2006}}</ref> |
|||
In [[2006]], Efron starred in the [[Disney Channel]] original movie ''[[High School Musical]]'' as Troy Bolton alongside actresses [[Vanessa Anne Hudgens]] and [[Ashley Tisdale]] and actor [[Lucas Grabeel]]. This role helped Efron gain recognition among teenage audiences as both an actor and a successful singer. Combined with his simultaneous appearances on ''The Suite Life'' and ''NCIS'', Efron placed as high as #4 on the [[The Internet Movie Database|IMDBPro's]] STARMeter for the week of [[January 29]], 2006.<ref name="imdbpro">{{cite web | title=IMDB Pro | work=IMDB Prop StarMeter | url=http://pro.imdb.com/name/nm1374980/graph-data | accessdate=March 13 | accessyear=2006}}</ref> |

Efron became the first artist to debut with two charted songs in the same week on the February 4, 2006 [[Billboard Hot 100]], with the songs, ''[[Get'cha Head In the Game]]'' (a solo) and ''[[Breaking Free]]'', a duet with [[Vanessa Anne Hudgens]], from ''[[High School Musical]]''. On the following week, Efron had five simultaneous song credits, all from ''High School Musical'', including, once more, ''Get'cha Head in the Game'', and three duets with Hudgens, ''[[Breaking Free]]'' (which made the fastest climb in the history of the Billboard charts, from #86 to #4 between the two weeks), ''[[Start of Something New]]'' and ''[[What I've Been Looking For]]'', as well as ''[[We're all in this Together]]'', which was credited to the ''[[High School Musical]]'' cast. |
|||
Efron's singing talents were disputed when it was revealed that [[Andrew Seeley]]'s voice was blended with Efron's voice on the soundtrack. Efron has also commented on the irony of his playing a top basketball player in "High School Musical", as he himself had been bad at the sport throughout his life.<ref name="basketball">{{cite web | title=SanLuisObispo.com | work=Watch local teen actor tonight on Disney Channel’s “High School Musical” | url=http://www.sanluisobispo.com/mld/sanluisobispo/14059747.htm | accessdate=March 13 | accessyear=2006}}</ref> |
