Beveridge) 905.2.8 - **Language:** English ### [905.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.905.2.8) Seizing the advantage of a respite till the morrow, the enemy slipped away in the night, and without dismounting on the road, went into Fort Archīān. When a morrow's move against a foe was made, we found no foe; after him we went and, not thinking it well to lay close siege to Archīān, dismounted two miles off (one \_shar\`ī\_) in Ghazna-namangān.\[503\] We were in camp there for 30 or 40 days, Taṃbal being in Fort Archīān. Every now and then a very few would go from our side and come from theirs, fling themselves on one another midway and return. They made one night-attack, rained arrows in on us and retired. As the camp was encircled by a ditch or by branches close-set, and as watch was kept, they could effect no more. - [Previous: 905.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.905.2.7) - [Next: 905.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.905.3.1) - [Up: 905.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.905.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.905.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.905.2.8) · Pramāṇa
