March 1544: In 1544, the Toungoo Kingdom, led by King Tabinshwehti, successfully captured the city of Pagan after the Confederation armies were forced to retreat following the fall of Salin. This military occupation marked a significant turning point in the ongoing conflict for control of the region.
April 1545: Sithu Kyawhtin II returned with a 7000-strong army (2000 horses, 15 elephants). Though his army was outnumbered more than two-to-one, Sithu Kyawhtin I chose to make a stand. But Salin's defenses were breached on the second day. Inside the city, Sithu Kyawhtin I fought atop his war elephant, and even engaged Sithu Kyawhtin II, who was also on his war elephant. In the end, Toungoo troops won the battle.
