Muḥammad \_Dūldāī\_ came from Qanūj to me; the Gūālīār pagans laid siege to that fort; 'Ālam Khān when sent to reinforce it, did not go to Gūālīār but to his own district. Every day bad news came from every side. Desertion of many Hindūstānīs set in; Haibat Khān \_Karg-andāz\_\[2034\] deserted and went to Saṃbal; Ḥasan Khān of Bārī deserted and joined the Pagan. We gave attention to none of them but went straight on with our own affair. (\_v. Bābur advances to fight.\_) The apparatus and appliances, the carts and wheeled tripods being ready, we arrayed in right, left and centre, and marched forward on New Year's Day,\[2035\] Tuesday, the 9th of the second \[Sidenote: Fol. 315b.\] Jumāda (March 13th), having the carts\[2036\] and wheeled tripods moving in front of us, with Ustād \`Alī-qulī and all the matchlock-men ranged behind them in order that these men, being on foot, should not be left behind the array but should advance with it. - [Previous: 933.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.5.2) - [Next: 933.5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.5.4) - [Up: 933.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.5.3) · Pramāṇa
