At the end of May, Mir Jumlah sent Farhad Khan with a picked force to fetch supplies from the fleet at Lakhau. But he lacked boats; and after wading through mud and ditches to a point between Trimohani and Gajpur, his further progress was rendered impossible by floods. He tried to return, but found that the Ahoms had blocked the road. For a week he was besieged. A relieving force failed to reach him, but when his position seemed utterly hopeless he managed to seize some Ahom boats and defeat his enemies in a surprise attack, after which he reached Trimohani without further molestation.
