Mir Jumla now resumed the offensive.* On 10th November, a flotilla left Garhgaon under Abul Hasan, made its way up the Dilli river from its mouth and took the Baduli Phukan’s trenches in the extreme rear, routing the Ahoms after an obstinate fight. But the enemy’s lines at that place were 20 miles from Garhgaon. So, on the 16th Mir Jumla himself set out to drive the enemy off and hunt the Rajah out of Namrup. After taking the Baduli Phukan’s entrenchments north-east of Garhgaon, he arrived at the Dihing on 20th November, and then by way of Solaguri at Tipam, on the other side of the river (18th December). This was destined to be the farthest point of his advance.
