At this moment, the Afghans fell to plundering and pillaging the tents of Zainu-d-din's troops who had retreated. Seeing Mustafa Khan now left with a small force, Zainu-d-din Ahmad Khan formed a van-guard of artillerymen and Bhallah musketeers and commenced an assault. The shells of guns and bullets of muskets now commenced showering like hail. Most of Mustafa Khan's comrades tasted the bitter potion of death; whilst one bullet, hitting Mustafa Khan on the socket, blinded one of his eyes. Then Zainu-d-din's other troops who had retreated to the citadel also rushed out, attacked the Afghans, and put them to the sword. Mustafa Khan on being defeated retreated to Jagdishpur. Becoming victorious and triumphant, Zainu-d-din Khan struck up the band of victory, made his State entry into the Fort, and next engaged on chasing the enemy. Mustafa Khan now sent a message to Raghoji Bhoslah, and asked for help.
