The Army of the Indian Moghuls: Its Organization and Administration c24.6

c24.6

Churā Jāt, who was hovering near the army on the west, cut off many followers and penetrated into the camp. But the above-named Rājahs drove him out again. Next the Jāts attacked on the south, whence they carried off some goods and part of the imperial property. Zafar Khān, Muzaffar Khān and Muḥammad Khān, Bangash, once more repelled them. They then made a further attempt on the east side. Here Mīr Mushrif and ʿAlwī Khān, Tarīn, of Lakhnau, met and defeated them. But the uproar was very great, and the camp followers and traders were so frightened, that they jumped into the Jamnah and tried to swim across it, many losing their lives in the attempt. By three o'clock the baggage camp was moved to a safer place, and the confusion continuing, it was again moved still farther off.
