Beveridge) 918.11 - **Language:** English ### [918.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918.11) On his second return to Ḥiṣār Bābur was subjected to great danger by a sudden attack made upon him by the Mughūls where he lay at night in his camp outside the town. Firishta says, but without particulars of their offence, that Bābur had reproached them for their misconduct; the absence of detail connecting the affair with the defeat just sustained, leads to the supposition that their misdeeds were a part of the tyranny over the country-people punished later by \`Ubaidu'l-lāh Khān. Roused from his sleep by the noise of his guards' resistance to the Mughūl attack, Bābur escaped with difficulty and without a single attendant\[1345\] into the fort. The conspirators plundered his camp and withdrew to Qarā-tīgīn. He was in no position to oppose them, left a few men in Ḥiṣār and went to Mīrzā Khān in Qūndūz. After he left, Ḥiṣār endured a desolating famine, a phenomenal snowfall and the ravages of the Mughūls. \`Ubaid Khān avenged Bābur on the horde; hearing of their excesses, he encamped outside the position they had taken up in Wakhsh defended by river, hills and snow, waited till a road thawed, then fell upon them and avenged the year's misery they had inflicted on the Ḥiṣārīs. Ḥaidar says of them that it was their villainy lost Ḥiṣār to Bābur and gained it for the Aūzbeg.\[1346\] - [Previous: 918.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918.10) - [Next: 918.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918.12) - [Up: 918](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918.11) · Pramāṇa
