The oath breakers attacked them, of a sudden, with swords, arrows and guns. 

I had, perforce to join battle with thy hosts,

And I too fought with the muskets and arrows as best as I could.

I had the oppurtunity to do Darshan of Chamkaur Sahib recently on my trip to India. It's really a humbling experience. There are two Gurdwaray. One where the Sahibzhaaday's achieved Shaheedi and one where Guru Gobind Singh Jee was watching it happen.
