Battle of Chausa - Humayun Vs. Sher Shah 25 June, 1539

CHAUSA WAR

Humayun's strongest enemy was Lion Khan. After the victory in Bengal, Humayun was restless and rested. Seeing the rest of Humayun in Bengal, Sher Khan took control over Chunar, Banaras, Jaunpur, Kannauj, Patna, etc. respectively. These incidents have disturbed Humayun. Humayun's army was weak from the outbreak of malaria, so Humayun left a small troop of the army and traveled to Agra.

Seeing the return of Humayun, Sher Khan, aka Sher Shah, decided to encompass Humayun on the way. Humayun made many mistakes in the return. At first, he divided his army into two parts. A section of the army was sent to attack Munger (Bihar) under Dilawar Khan. Humayun himself proceeded with the second army of the army. Humayun's military advisers had advised that he reached Jaunpur, running from the northern edge of the Ganges and crossing the Ganges and attacking Sher Shah / Sher Khan, but he did not listen to those people.

He crossed the Gangetic and walked from the southern route to the Grand Trunk Road. This route was under the control of the Lion Khan. On the banks of the Karmanasa River, Uttar Pradesh, a place called Chausa was found to be of Sher Shah. So he did not cross the Sher Shah to attack, but he was also negligent here. He immediately started to attack Lion Khan, but here too he was careless. He did not immediately attack Sher Shah. He was wasting time on the banks of River Ganga for three months.

 Lion Khan, in the meanwhile, kept her engaged in peace and kept her in peace and kept preparing herself. Actually, he was waiting for rain.

Sher Shah's Diplomacy

As the rain started, Sher Khan planned to invade. Humayun's camp was in a low place between the Ganges and the river Karmanasa. So rainwater was filled with it The artillery of the Mughals had failed and the disorder was in the army.
