When they found themselves suddenly threatened both in front and rear, they were seized with dismay and fled. The Imperial troops achieved a victory, and secured much spoil. They followed in pursuit until they reached a hill near Rampur, in Jharkand, where the enemy made a stand. \* \* Muzaffar Khan made his dispositions in front, and Khwaja Shamsu-d din, as before, got to the rear of the enemy, and attacked bravely. Husain Khan and \* \* several leaders of the enemy having fallen, the rebels fled, and the Imperial troops gained a decisive victory. After returning thanks for their success, they withdrew, and repaired to their respective cantonments. The news of this victory arrested Junaid for a time in his contemplated attack upon Bihar. But a few days afterwards he found the means of reaching Nuzhatabad in that province, and there raised a revolt. The amirs of the province withdrew into Patna, and in their distress again applied to Muzaffar Khan for help. He accordingly moved to their assistance. On his march, he was met by letters from the Emperor, acknowledging and eulogizing his services, and conferring upon him the jagir of Hajipur previously held by Muhammad Kuli Khan Birlas. This stimulated him to further exertions. He effected a junction with the other amirs, and began operations against the insurgents. He erected a bridge by which he passed over the Punpun river. - [Previous: 53.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.53.4) - [Next: 53.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.53.6) - [Up: 53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.53) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.53.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.53.5) · Pramāṇa
