Shortly after, Ibráhím arrived in the pargana of Lakhnor, fifteen kos from Sambal. As Husain Khán was still suffering from the effects of his wound, he was obliged to be carried on a litter, but nevertheless he advanced to Báns Bareillí, in order to force Ibráhím to action, and from Bareillí he made Sambal in one day by a forced march. Ibráhím, alarmed at this exhibition of confidence and courage, thought it better to decline an action, and retreated by way of Amroha, in the environs of Lakhnor, leaving a distance of seven kos between him and his opponent. Had Husain Khán been compelled to fight in his then wounded state, God knows what would have happened! It was one of the Mirzá's mistakes that he did not attack Husain Khán while he was in this weak state. - [Previous: 12.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-elliot.12.3) - [Next: 12.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-elliot.12.5) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-elliot.12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-elliot.12.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-elliot.12.4) · Pramāṇa
