Sikandar led an army of 90,000 and met the Mughals at Sirhind.[citation needed] On 22 June 1555 they met in battle. Humayun and Bairam Khan carried out a daring raid in a rainstorm like Sher Shah Suri had done at the Battle of Chausa to defeat Humayun. Sikandar was defeated by the Mughal Army and was compelled to retreat to the Sivalik Hills in northeastern Punjab.
