The assault had now become general along the Mahomedan line, and the two flanks had already fallen back, when the guns in the centre were thus attacked. Chuleby Roomy Khan had provided bags of copper money to load with, should the enemy close; and these proved so destructive, that upwards of five thousand Hindoos were left dead close to the muzzles of the guns, before they retreated. The repulse of this charge seems to have decided the fate of the day: the confusion of the enemy was taken advantage of by Kishwur Khan Lary, an officer of the Beejapoor army attached to the centre, who, charging through the intervals of the guns with five thousand cavalry, pursued the enemy into the centre of Ramraj's line; where, in attempting to make his escape on foot, the Hindoo prince was overtaken by one of the Nizam Shahy elephants, which seized him in his trunk; and on being brought to Hoossein Nizam Shah, Ramraj was beheaded by that monarch's order, and his army fled to Beejanuggur. The details of the remaining events have been already related in the Adil Shahy history; suffice it to say, the country of Beejanuggur fell to the Mahomedan armies, and Hoossein Nizam Shah returned to Ahmudnuggur, where he died, shortly after, of a disorder brought on by excess. He left behind him four sons and four daughters. - [Previous: 99.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.99.2.6) - [Next: 99.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.99.2.8) - [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.99.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.99.2.7) · Pramāṇa
