From this camp also Shahzada Muhammad Humayun Mirza, together with Khwaja Kalan Beg and other notable Amirs, were despatched against Hamid Khan the Khas-i-Khail (Chief of Cavalry) of Sultan Ibrahim, who was advancing at the head of a force from Hisar Firoza to give them battle. They proceeded by forced marches, and a severe engagement took place. Hamid Khan was defeated, many of his men being either killed or taken prisoners. The sarkar of Hisar Firoza with a revenue of two crores, was given as a reward to the Shahzada, and Babar Padishah encamped on the bank of the Jamna, two marches from Shahabad, and detailed Khwaja Muhammad Sultan Mirza, and Sultan Junaid Mirza Barlas to oppose Da'ud Khan and a body of Amirs of the army of Sultan Ibrahim, who had crossed the Jamna with five or six thousand cavalry. Accordingly they also crossed the Jamna and gave the Afghans a second drubbing, killing them and taking them prisoners, while the remnant of the sword took refuge in the camp of Sultan Ibrahim. Marching thence, having drawn up his right and left wings and centre, King Babar reviewed them in person. Eight hundred gun carriages had been prepared in one day. Ustad 'Ali Quli the Artillerist, acting upon my orders, had followed the custom of the Turkish artillery, and bound together the gun carriages with chains and raw hide thongs, twisting them into the form of a whiplash.
