He therefore marched, on the following day, to a town called Shahnowaz, where finding more grain than sufficient for his whole army, he caused what could not be carried away to be burnt. At this place, the brother of the chief of the Gukkurs, who had attempted to defend the place with 2000 men, lost his life. Teimoor proceeded on the third day from Shahnowaz, and crossing the Beea, entered a rich and plentiful country. The following is an account of the proceedings of the Prince Mirza Peer Mahomed Jehangeer. After having, as has been already mentioned, taken Mooltan, the rains came on, and destroyed so great a part of his cavalry in the field, that he was under the necessity of withdrawing his army into the city of Mooltan. There he was reduced to much distress by the inhabitants of the country, who closely invested the place, and withheld supplies, so that his cavalry, unable to act or to procure forage, diminished daily. Such was the situation of the Prince when his grandfather invaded India. - [Previous: 46.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.46.1.3) - [Next: 46.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.46.1.5) - [Up: 46.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.46.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.46.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.46.1.4) · Pramāṇa
