On his fifth invasion of the decaying Mughal Empire, Afghan General Ahmad Shah Durrani was met near Lahore by Sikhs attempting alone to resist his advance. Afghan General Jahan Khan was defeated and wounded in a sharp check, but as Maratha General Sabaji fled from the Punjab, the Sikhs allowed the invaders to advance towards Delhi and victory in early 1761 at Panipat.
