Two braves chopped very well at one another; on our side, Samad, Ibrāhīm _Sārū's_ younger brother, and on their side, Shāh-suwār, one of the Ḥiṣārī Mughūls. Shāh-suwār struck so that his sword drove through Samad's helm and seated itself well in his head; Samad, spite of his wound, struck so that his sword cut off Shāh-suwār's head a piece of bone as large as the palm of a hand. Shāh-suwār must have worn no helm; they trepanned his head and it healed; there was no one to trepan Samad's and in a few days, he departed simply through the wound.[467] Amazingly unseasonable was this defeat, coming as it did just in the respite from guerilla fighting and just when we had regained the country. One of our great props, Qaṃbar-`alī _Mughūl_ (the Skinner) had gone to his district when Andijān [Sidenote: Fol. 66.] was occupied and therefore was not with us. (_e. Taṃbal attempts to take Andijān._) Having effected so much, Taṃbal, bringing Jahāngīr Mīrzā with him, came to the east of Andijān and dismounted 2 miles off, in the meadow lying in front of the Hill of Pleasure (`Aīsh).[468] Once or twice he advanced in battle-array, past Chihil-dukhterān[469] to the town side of the hill but, as our braves went out arrayed to fight, beyond the gardens and suburbs, he could not advance further and returned to the other side of the hill. On his first coming to those parts, he killed two of the begs he had captured, Mīrīm _Lāgharī_ and Tūqā Beg. For nearly a month he lay round-about without effecting anything; after that he retired, his face set for Aūsh. Aūsh had been given to Ibrāhīm _Sārū_ and his man in it now made it fast. 905 AH. AUG. 8TH. 1499 TO JULY 28TH. 1500 AD.[470] (_a. Bābur's campaign against Aḥmad Taṃbal Mughūl._) Commissaries were sent gallopping off at once, some to call up the horse and foot of the district-armies, others to urge return on Qaṃbar-`alī and whoever else was away in his own district, while energetic people were told off to get together mantelets (_tūra_), shovels, axes and the what-not of war-material and stores for the men already with us. As soon as the horse and foot, called up from the various districts to join the army, and the soldiers and retainers who had been scattered to this and that side on their own affairs, were gathered together, I went out, on Muḥarram 18th. (August 25th.), putting my trust in God, to Ḥāfiẓ Beg's Four-gardens [Sidenote: Fol. 66b.] and there stayed a few days in order to complete our equipment. This done, we formed up in array of right and left, centre and van, horse and foot, and started direct for Aūsh against our foe.
