Fall of the Mughal Empire v3.c34.s10.9

v3.c34.s10.9

It was reported that in this battle the Marathas had lost 17 sardars slain and 12 wounded, and three thousand men had fallen on the two sides together. But it was decisive. Though the imperialists manned the trenches and exchanged a distant fire with the enemy for a few days after it, they no longer ventured out into the open. The Pindharis set fire to Patparganj and Jaisinghpura. Madec, when sitting on the edge of his trenches among the ruins of Old Delhi, was wounded by a bullet in the thigh. All his equipment and property had been lost and his force terribly cut up in the battle of the 17th.*
