In this manner the army crossed the Toongbudra, followed closely by the enemy, till at length the King, encamping on a spacious plain, commanded the army to halt, and Krishn Ray also took up a position at no great distance. Mahomed Shah, now conceiving it a fit opportunity to avow his intentions, gave a public audience to satisfy his officers of his welfare, who were before somewhat dispirited, being unacquainted with the stratagem. After this, retiring early, under pretence of weakness, and calling his principal generals into his private apartments, he commanded them to arm their troops, and wait his orders at a certain place, to which about midnight he repaired, and after forming them into various parties, he proceeded to surprise the enemy's camp. - [Previous: 67.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.3.6) - [Next: 67.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.3.8) - [Up: 67.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.3.7) · Pramāṇa
