Failing to obtain help from outside, the Chutiyas made no effort to recover their lost territory until 1520, when they attacked the Ahom fort at Mungkhrāng. The Ahom commander was killed in a sortie and the garrison fled; and for a time the Chutiyas once more ruled this tract of country. For some reason, not disclosed in the Buranjis, two years elapsed before Suhungmung equipped a fresh expedition. The Chutiyas were then engaged and defeated near the mouth of the Sessa river; and not only was the lost territory recovered, but a further advance was made to the mouth of the Tiphāo river, where a fort was erected.
