With 12000 Turkish cavalry, Khilji advanced to attack Assam and Tibet from Devkot (West Bengal). He appointed a local chief from Himalyan frontier, converted to Ijlam, to serve as guide. After 10 days, Khilji’s army reached at the outskirt of Kamrupa.
King Prithu of Kamrupa, now Assam, was aware of Khilji’s invading forces. King Prithu first, followed “Scorched Earth Policy” which meant to destroy all the possible resources, useful for enemies. It involves food resources, agriculture lands, water resources etc.
The purpose of the policy was to starve and dehydrate the enemy soldiers.
After Khilji crossed Begamati river to enter Kamrupa,he ordered his troops to raid villages in Kamrupa.Alert King Prithu’s army launched a lethal attack along with other tribal communities on Khilji armies.

Combined forces of tribals & Prithu’s army not only stopped Khilji’s armies, but wreaked havoc on them. As supply line was disconnected, Khilji’s troops were exhausted and thirsty. Next day,Prithu’s bigger armies scared Khilji so much that his wounded men decided to retreat.
In this attack of prathu only 100 out of 12,000 were remained from the side of bakhtiar remaining 11,900 were ki lled by the great army of prathu.
Unfortunately bakhtiar too survived
But this was his unfortunate At last he was assassinated by his own general Ali Mardan in 1206.
