In July of the same year the Koch commander Tipu again led an invading force up the Brahmaputra. He halted on the bank of the river for two months, and was then attacked by the Ahoms and decisively beaten. The Koches gave no further trouble until 1570, when Tipu and one Bhitaruāl brought up an army. An Ahom force was despatched to repel it, and engaged the enemy at the mouth of the Dhansiri. The Koches were defeated, and fled with the loss of many men, boats and cannon.
