Ahmad Khān, after his victory over the minister, sent his young son Mahmūd Khān into Oudh to plunder the country and marched in person on Allahābād, where his younger brothers were confined, and besieged the fort. Failing to take it, and learning that the minister had taken the field, he plundered and burnt the city and retired to Farrukhābād carrying with him 4000 women captured at Allahābād.
