Note: In AH 982 (1574 CE), Emperor Akbar personally led a campaign against Daud Shah Karrani, who had taken refuge in Patna. Akbar's general, Munim Khan, initially launched an offensive in Bihar, prompting Daud to deploy his commanders to defend the city. The turning point came when Akbar captured the fort at Hajipur, cutting off vital supplies to Daud's forces. This strategic move broke the enemy's morale, forcing their retreat to Bengal and leading to the Mughal capture of Patna.
