Bab 202: Mughals invasion of Baloch

Pakistan Sultanate, border of sindh , night of 11th April 1557.

The moon cast a faint glow over the settlement of Jacobabad, where the Mughal banners fluttered in the night breeze. The town, nestled between the Baloch and Sindh regions of the Pakistan Sultanate, was the final outpost before the Mughal forces could march further into the rugged terrain. Tents were spread across the camp, housing 5,000 Mughal soldiers preparing for conquest. In the largest tent, Subedar rank commander, Zahid Khan sitting in cushion with his trusted faujdars, the dim light of a flickering lamp illuminating the battle plans sprawled across the table.

Zahid Khan, being a tall and imposing man looked over the map sitting on cushion. His dark eyes scanned the rugged markings as he addressed his faujdars in calm yet firm voice.
