Nuseer Khan replied, that he really had not the means to cope with the King of Guzerat; but that if he chose to apply to the King of the Deccan he would perhaps exert himself in his favour, and Nuseer Khan promised to give him a letter to that monarch on the subject. Ahmud Shah Bahmuny, at the instance of Nuseer Khan, put a small force at the disposal of the Raja to recover his country. When this detachment arrived at Nundoorbar it plundered the district, and the King of Guzerat ordered a force to oppose it. An engagement ensued in consequence, in which the Deccanies were entirely defeated, and many slain. This disaster naturally involved the King of the Deccan in a war with Guzerat; for he conceived it necessary to retrieve the character of his arms. He accordingly deputed a large force to march under the command of the Prince Alla-ood-Deen for that purpose. When this army reached Dowlutabad it was joined by Raja Kanha and Nuseer Khan, and the whole proceeded towards Guzerat. Another battle ensued, and the Deccan troops were again defeated, and Raja Kanha was compelled to take refuge in the Kandeish hills. - [Previous: 233.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.233.8) - [Next: 233.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.233.10) - [Up: 233](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.233) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.233.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.233.9) · Pramāṇa
