[2] As the siege continued Akbar placed even bigger cannons and high velocity mortars on the two rocky outcrops facing Ranthambore Fort.

Within weeks the sabats allowed Akbar's men to gain control of areas just underneath the steep slope of Ranthambore Fort.

The Mughals built prefabricated walls to protect their gains around the fort and then placed highly accurate narrow barreled long-cannons that were about 20–25 ft in length.

After being besieged for more than a month Rai Surjan Hada and his Hindu Rajputs eventually surrendered Ranthambore Fort, which was considered to be impregnable.
