Fall of the Mughal Empire v1.c14.s2.27

v1.c14.s2.27

With less than two hundred troopers, the wazir and Muhammad Ali Khan, both wounded, fell back on Marhara, 22 miles west of the field of battle, and next morning set out for Delhi with some appearance of order and formation among his followers. Much of his property was plundered by his own Mughal troops and the rest by the villagers around. When the victorious right wing of the Oudh army returned from their distant chase of Rustam Khan Afridi's division, they found the battle lost beyond hope of retrieval and their master nowhere to be seen. So, they retreated westwards.
