Fall of the Mughal Empire v3.c40.s9.5

v3.c40.s9.5

The battle of 28th July was fought in the plain between Tungā and Bidakhā, some two miles south-east of the former place and therefore fourteen miles from the village of Lālsot after which it is wrongly named. The advancing Marathas had their back to the Morel river which they guarded by their recent conquest of Bidakha fort, and their moving camp lay behind that river to the south-east, near Ramgarh. Further to the south-east the long line was held by the troops guarding Mahadji and the light camps of his fighting generals, and last of all by his stationary base camp, two or three miles south of Lalsot village.
