The Battle of Shahi Tibbi was fought between the Khalsa led by Bhai Jiwan Singh and the Mughal Army led by Governor Wazir Khan.[3][4][5] This battle was fought alongside the Battle of Sarsa.[3][6]
Guru Gobind Singh left Anandpur Sahib after being besieged for over 8 months when he got attacked near the Sarsa river.[3][7] Bhai Udai Singh quickly gathered 50 men in order to defend the Guru crossing the river.[8][9][10] They all fought valiantly until there was one man left.[11][12]
