Ramraj, who knew the character of the King, judging that should he refuse his assistance he would make peace with the Mussulman powers, and attempt the recovery of Moodkul and Rachore, marched to join him with fifty thousand horse and a great army of foot. The allies met on the banks of the Krishna, and moved immediately towards Kulliany, which was then besieged by the Nizam Shahy and Kootb Shahy forces. Ibrahim Kootb Shah, according to his usual mode of embracing the strongest party, quitted his ally, and came over suddenly to Ally Adil Shah; upon which Hoossein Nizam Shah, without delay, retreated to Ahmudnuggur. The allies followed him with the utmost expedition to that city, and he did not think it prudent to remain there, but having thrown a reinforcement and supplies into the citadel, retired to the town of Joonere. The three sovereigns laid siege to Ahmudnuggur, and sent detachments on all sides to lay waste the country. The Hindoos of Beejanuggur committed the most outrageous devastations, burning and rasing the buildings, putting up their horses in the mosques, and performing their abominable idolatrous worship in the holy places. - [Previous: 92.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2.2) - [Next: 92.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2.4) - [Up: 92.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2.3) · Pramāṇa
