After which, Dawood Khan marched to oppose the Mogul army. A severe engagement took place in crossing the Soane near the village of Moonere, where that river and the Suroo fall into the Ganges. Dawood Khan was defeated, and a hundred of his boats fell into the hands of Moonyim Khan, who, having crossed the Soane, marched on to Patna, to which place Dawood Khan fled for protection. Moonyim Khan immediately invested the place, and was subsequently joined by Akbur Padshah; upon whose approach Dawood Khan fled to Bengal, and the forts of Patna and Hajypoor fell to the Mogul army. On this occasion, four hundred elephants, the property of Dawood Khan, came into Akbur’s possession. Moonyim Khan followed up the fugitive as far as Gurhy, from whence Dawood Khan fled to Orissa, whither he was also pursued by a small field-detachment of the Mogul army, which was defeated by Jooneid Khan, Dawood Khan’s son. This detachment was pursued by Moonyim Khan, who was opposed by Dawood Khan in person, when a severe battle took place, wherein the latter was defeated, and retired to a fort on the borders of Cattack. Here he was also attacked; and finding escape impracticable, he marched out to oppose the Moguls. - [Previous: 275.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.275.1) - [Next: 275.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.275.3) - [Up: 275](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.275) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.275.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.275.2) · Pramāṇa
