The Muhammadans now united their forces and, three weeks later, made an attack from three different directions on the Ahom army, which had entrenched itself at Bārepaita. The Ahoms ran short of ammunition and sustained a crushing defeat; a very large number were killed, including several of the leaders, and many others were made prisoners and were subsequently put to death. The pursuit continued as long as daylight lasted. The scattered remnant fled to Srighāt, where Pratāp Singh was encamped with the fleet and the heavy baggage.
