Asaf Khan did not deem it expedient to attempt the reduction of the fortress, as it would have been a difficult undertaking and a cause of delay; so he retired, and encamped near the river Nahnura. Then he advanced to the vicinity of Bijapur, and encamped on the borders of a tank between Nauras-pur and Shahpur. The enemy every day came out of the ditch into the plain, and there was a warm interchange of rockets, arrows, and musketry. But although the enemy kept up also a heavy fire from the fortifications, they were regularly driven back to the shelter of the walls. Asaf Khan used to take every precaution for the safety of the detachments which went out every day to collect fodder, but the army was large and the animals numerous, so this was no easy matter. - [Previous: 22.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.22.1) - [Next: 22.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.22.3) - [Up: 22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.22) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.22.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.22.2) · Pramāṇa
