The campaign opened in May 1790. The main army under Gopāl Bhāu as commander-in-chief, supported by Jivā Dādā Bakhshi and Col. De Boigne, marched into the Rewāri district, by way of Hodal, Palwal and Pataudi. Another division, led by Ambāji Inglé, advanced through Alwar and effected a junction with Gopāl Bhāu. Holkar sent a contingent of about 4,000 horse and Ali Bahādur another thousand. Najaf Quli Khan was won over by the restoration of his jāgirs lately usurped by Ismail Beg, and he joined with a small body of about 2,000 cavalry; so also did a small contingent of the Macheri Rajah.
