TheTrue story of Fort Ruhtaas

This is the true story of the conquest of the fort Rutaas that has never been read on internet before. Every one knows that Fort Rutaas was captured by Sher Shah Suri, an afghan conqueror from Hindu Raja Hari Krishan Rai and presently it is in the city of Jhelum, Pakistan. But how he did so is worth reading. Sher Khan (Sher Shah Suri) made a plan to capture the fascinating fort by trickery rather than battle (because the fort could not be captured by the war) .He sent precious gifts with his note to Raja (An owner of fort) that if he could kept his and his soldier’s families in his absence (as he was going to conquer Bengal) by his loquacious messengers .Moreover If he couldn’t return safely from the battleground then the families would be safe at Raja’s place, as he didn't trust in the Mughal. Out of his greed, raja accepted an offer and allowed Sher khan to send his family.
Antique palanquins
What Sher khan did was very attention-grabbing and intelligent? He sent his 500 soldiers in doli’s/ antique palanquin, two in each palanquin disguised as servant. The first two doli’s were packed with an old women and bisexuals so Raja didn’t check the rest. Khan’s combatant after clearing Raja’s soldiers inside the fort opened the gate from where Khan entered and conquered an elegant fort. Conclusion a wise man is powerful than warrior. Do write your perspective about the story in Comments section???
