After the death of their chief, his followers fled through a wicket out of the place, which fell into the hands of Moortuza Nizam Shah, with all the districts that had been wrested from him by the army of Ally Adil Shah. Khwaja Meeruk and Peer Khan Isfahany were immediately detached with a large force, in pursuit of Ein-ool-Moolk, one of the Beejapoor officers, who had moved towards Ahmudnuggur for the purpose of plunder; and overtaking him, a desperate action ensued, in which that chief was killed, the second in command, Noor Khan, taken prisoner, and the remains of Ally Adil Shah's army returned to Beejapoor with great difficulty. - [Previous: 92.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4.1) - [Next: 92.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4.3) - [Up: 92.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4.2) · Pramāṇa
