For this reason, and also owing to the jealousy and the disputes of Sultān Murād and the Khān Khānān, the siege progressed but slowly. Ikhlās Khān marched from Daulatābād with 10,000 horse to relieve the city, but was defeated at Paithan, on the Godāvarī. Āhang Khān then marched from the southern frontier with 7,000 horse, accompanied by Prince ‘Alī and his son, Prince Murtazā, but was so stoutly opposed by the Khān Khānān’s troops that he and the younger prince led no more than 400 horsemen into the city, after cutting their way through the enemy. The rest of his force, with the aged Prince ‘Alī, fled back to the frontier.
