With these they did us a good deal of damage. Be it known to the reader that those seven rivers of whose junction I spoke did not touch the sides of the fortress for more than a pistol-shot on the west and two musket-shots on the east, because they flowed between rocks and hills. Thus the enemy gave us trouble enough; nor did we desist from doing our duty with our guns, dismounting his artillery, damaging the towns, and killing a number of men. Several times we made sallies under cover of our artillery, swarming into their trenches, killing and destroying all we found there. Once we captured four field-pieces and a quantity of baggage lying close by them. Thus the traitor Khalilullah Khan, at whose cost the investment was conducted, was forced to send more men against us. Regardless of these reinforcements, the commandant, Primavera, sent off before daybreak some boats with musketeers, who delivered attacks at various points and alarmed the enemy. They went on increasing the investing force until the place was evacuated, as further on I shall relate. - [Previous: 65.34.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.34.5) - [Next: 65.34.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.34.7) - [Up: 65.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.34) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.34.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.34.6) · Pramāṇa
