Mahmood Shah Shurky, having recruited his army, took the field again for the purpose of reducing some refractory zemindars in the district of Chunar, which place he sacked, and from thence he proceeded into the province of Orissa, which he also reduced; and having destroyed the temples and collected large sums of money, returned to Joonpoor. In the year 856, Mahmood Shah besieged the city of Dehly; but Bheilole Lody returning from Depalpoor, whither he had proceeded for the purpose of conquest, Mahmood Shah was compelled to retire, as he discovered that Duria Khan Lody, who had formerly deserted the King of Dehly and joined him, was now prepared to abandon him also. The retreat, however, was delayed till the last moment, which enabled Bheilole Lody to pursue the King of Joonpoor so closely, as to intercept and destroy his baggages on which occasion Futteh Khan Hirvy, who commanded the Shurky rear-guard, was killed, and seven war-elephants were taken. - [Previous: 283.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.283.2) - [Next: 283.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.283.4) - [Up: 283](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.283) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.283.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.283.3) · Pramāṇa
