v3.c43.5

The *A. N.* says that in the evening of 23rd January, "Buzurg Ummed Khan, on hearing of the first naval victory, ordered Farhad Khan not to wait for jungle-cutting and road-making, but to hasten and join the *nawwara*. He himself advanced quickly. Next day (i.e., the 24th) Farhad Khan arrived at the bank of the Karnafuli. The following day (i.e., the 25th) Buzurg Ummed Khan reached the foot of the fort of Chatgaon with the rest of the army, and the imperial forces by land and sea invested the fort,...and gained possession of it on the 2nd day of the siege, i.e., the 26th" (pp. 951—952).
