The uncle of Ally Adil Shah was killed on this occasion; but the Beejapoories were so successful in the end, as to leave Hoossein Roostoom Khan and two thousand of his men dead on the field of battle. At the approach of the rainy season, the allies returned to the siege of Ahmudnuggur. The army of Ramraj encamped south of the fort, on the bank of the Sena river, when the rain having fallen very heavily in the hills, and the river swelling suddenly during the night, three hundred horses and a vast number of carriage cattle were drowned; besides which, no fewer than twenty officers of rank, and upwards of twenty-five thousand men of all descriptions, were swept away in the torrent. Ramraj, in consequence of this disaster, raised the siege, and moved towards the Carnatic; and Ally Adil Shah, following his example, marched to Nuldroog, to put that fort in a state of defence. When the allies reached the town of Ootgy, Ramraj, under the pretence of foraging, halted, and took that opportunity of plundering some of the Beejapoor and Golconda districts, and eventually obtained from both these princes a cession of territory before he retired to his capital. - [Previous: 99.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.99.2.2) - [Next: 99.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.99.2.4) - [Up: 99.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.99.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.99.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.99.2.3) · Pramāṇa
