His army was put to flight, and the men returned in small "parties to Multan. On the 3rd Ramazan, the Shaikh occupied Khairabad, near Multan." On the 25th of Ramazan, Shaikh 'Ali advanced with all his forces against the gates of Multan, to make an assault; but the troops of 'Imadu-l Mulk and the citizens sallied forth to meet him. A fight took place in the gardens, and the assailants were driven back, with the loss of all the provisions they had brought with them. On the 27th Ramazan, they again made an attack in great force. Dismounting his horsemen, in order to push through the gates of the city, 'Imadu-l Mulk fell upon them with his horse and foot, and they, unable to support his attack, retreated. Some were killed, and some succeeded in falling back to the main body. Being thus again defeated, they dared not make any further attack upon the place. When the report of these events reached the ears of the Sultan, he sent Majlis-i 'ali Khan-i 'azam Fath Khan son of Sultan Muzaffar Gujarati, Majlis-i 'ali Zirak Khan, Malik Kalu keeper of the elephants, Khan-i 'azam Islam Khan, Malik Yusuf Sarwaru-l Mulk, Khan-i 'azam Kal Khan, and Rai Hansu Khul Chain Bhatti with a large army, to reinforce Maliku-sh Shark 'Imadu-l Mulk. On the 26th Shawwal, this army arrived in the khitta of Multan, and remained encamped for some days. - [Previous: 7.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.26) - [Next: 7.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.28) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.27) · Pramāṇa
