	On 6 December, Mughals and hilly kings sent a letter to ] in which they sweared to Quran and cow respectively, that if Guru and his Sikhs vacate the fort of Anandpur, the Mughals and hilly kings would not attack them. They would be given safe passage if they vacate the fort. Under a peace treaty Guru Gobind Singh along with Sikhs left the fort on the night of 6 December 1704. When the Sikhs reached near River Sarsa, they were attacked by a large army of Mughals and hilly kings. The Mughals broke their oaths and attacked Guru's forces. A fiercing battle took place near river sarsa. River Sarsa was flooded very heavily that night. Sikhs reacted with great courage and bravery to this sudden attack. Both the sides faced casualties.
