The Stratagem of Peshawar was a campaign of the Durrani empire led by Azim Khan Barakzai against the Nawab of Amb, Mir Nawab Khan Tanoli.

When Mir Nawab and his few soldiers reached Jamrud, Azim Khan attacked Mir Nawab's army by encircling their army.

The army of Mir Nawab was at a positional disadvantage on the battlefield against the guns and cannon of Azim Khan Barakzai.

As result, Mir Nawab Khan Tanoli was killed, resulting in a major loss to the Kingdom of Amb, which was already greatly embattled against the Sikh Empire.
