Babajee and D'hurmarow at length discovered one, about ten miles from the camp. Having crossed which, they attacked the enemy's infantry on the opposite bank. The passage was well defended ; but as the King's detachment was soon after supported by the main army, the Reddywars fled, and sought protection in the hills and woods. The royalists pursued them to the mouth of a narrow pass which the enemy had stockaded and blocked up with stones and trees, behind which they had placed guns and musketeers. This work was gallantly stormed and taken, although not without considerable loss on both sides. At length the Reddywars sent a deputation to court, and the King's armies were recalled. Adil Khan Bungy returned to Golconda, and Meer Zein-ool-Abideen to his government of Cossimcota, where some disturbances had arisen during his absence. - [Previous: 120.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.3.7) - [Next: 120.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.4.1) - [Up: 120.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.3.8) · Pramāṇa
