Fall of the Mughal Empire v3.c33.s3.10

v3.c33.s3.10

The battle raged thus, irregularly but with intense fury till an hour before midnight. The Jāts, fighting without any plan or mutual concert, acknowledged defeat only after Nawal Singh himself had fled away from the field.∗ His soldiers rushed back in disorder, breaking Madec’s square in the wild sweep of their flight. That French captain with only 5 or 6 horsemen escaped to safety through the Maratha ranks under cover of darkness.
