Sher Khān now assembled all his forces in the neighbourhood of Rohtās and awaited an opportunity of attacking Humāyūn as he attempted to extricate his demoralised army from Bengal. The pretext was that Humāyūn, who had promised him the kingdom of Bengal, had broken faith with him and taken the kingdom for himself. At the battle of Chausa on 26 June, 1539, Humāyūn was completely defeated and fled to Āgra.
