The trenches were then allotted to the different amirs. The first to Khan-i ’Azam, * * another to Nawab Asaf Khan, another to Mirza Jani Beg of Tatta * A fourth trench he placed in charge of his brethren and adherents, and having well examined it, he gave it into their charge, while he himself proceeded with a chosen force to attend upon the Emperor. It was impossible to dig mines or construct sábáts; so the men in each trench endeavoured to bring the investment as close as possible. At the end of the month, 'Azam Khan and Asaf Khan reported that the garrison kept up a fire from different kinds of guns all night and day, with object and without object, necessary and unnecessary; and that the besiegers endured it with great bravery.
