And he stood up and patting him said,''Bhai Ghanhiya, you are great, you have achieved your target, you have crossed the worldly ocean and now have been exempted from further transmigration. In those days, red cross societies did not exist, so Bhai Ghanhiya Ji is clamied to be the pioneer of red cross.

When the generals of the royal army found their soldiers being kiiled in large numbers, they lost the hope of defeating the Sikhs in the open fields. Therefore they made up their minds to besiege and blockade the fort and to cut off supplies. But when the long siege did not bear any fruit the royal army and hill-chiefs were also worried. Then they requested the Guru to evacuate Anandpur Sahib. They also swore on the cow and the Quran.
But the Guru knew the treacherous plans of the hill-men and the Turks. He told the envoys of hill-men and Turks that he would evacuate the fort if the armies first allow the removal of his promises made. Then the Guru asked his men to fill the sacks with old shoes, torn clothes and other rubbish material. The sacks which were covered with beautiful brocade, were loaded on the backs of bullocks which were forced out of the fort at mid-night. Flambeau with long handles were tied to the horns of the bullocks, so that those might be seen from a long distance. When the animals reached near the army, they at once fell upon them to loot(so called) precious property.
But when they touched the foul smelling rubbish, they felt ashamed.
After few days, the Guru vacated the fort and reached Chamkaur. At chamkaur the Guru entrenched the mud-built house. His army consisted of only forty trusted Sikhs, his weapons of offence and defence were those which he and his Sikhs had arranged to bring with them. The Guru asked his eight Sikhs to guard each wall, two were posted to the gate and two were keep at watch. The Guru himself, with his few Sikhs and two sons held the top storey.
At mid night the Mughal army rushed up and surrounded the village. Next morning a part of army advanced to capture the small fort. But when they approached near the fort a valley of bullet and arrows greeted them Then next party advanced, they also met the same fate.
