 In February 1662, Mir Jumla laid siege to Simalugarh and after the severe hand-to-hand fight, the Ahoms abandoned the fort and took to flight.The Ahom forces at Samdhara on the opposite bank, being unnerved by the fall of Simalugarh, left their charge without any opposition worth the name.After this brilliant success, Mir Jumla entered the Ahom capital Garhgaon on 17 March 1662.
