The way 4e works the rules only work on the assumption that one of the participants in the action is a PC.
The implication of this is that they tell you nothing about what happens when an NPC fights an NPC, and as such you must either use different rules or wing it.
The 4e edition rule for what happens when minions get in a fist fight is 'what ever you want'.
The corrolary is, 'If you care what happens, then the NPC isn't a minion.'
The corrolary of that is that giving an NPC a name transforms them from a minion into something else, possibly with accompanying loss of level but at least now they have hit points.
