In this conjuncture, Jehangeer Makry resolved to accomplish by stratagem what he thought would be doubtful in fair battle: he therefore held out promises and advantages to the Raja of Rajoory, to induce him to join the King’s troops. The intrigue succeeded: Futteh Khan was compelled to retreat to the south, but he attacked and overran the district of Jummoo; and collecting more soldiers, returned to Kashmeer a third time. At this period, the King and Jehangeer Makry recalled the Syud exiles. After their arrival an action took place between the King’s army and that of Futteh Khan, in which both sides displayed great courage, but the pretender was defeated. He was, however, soon again in the field; and having attacked the royalists, gave them a total overthrow. The King, on this occasion, was left without a single attendant; and his general, Jehangeer Makry, being severely wounded, sought safety in flight. Mahomed, thus abandoned even by his servants, was seized by the zemindars of Kashmeer, on his return to the capital, and delivered into the hands of Futteh Khan, after a reign of nearly eleven years. - [Previous: 336.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.336.1.5) - [Next: 336.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.336.1.7) - [Up: 336.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.336.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.336.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.336.1.6) · Pramāṇa
