Ismail sent against them two battalions from the brigade of Hemraj \[Bakhshi\], which was confronting De Boigne. On seeing this untimely movement, D.B. ascribed it to panic among the enemy, and made a sudden assault, and routed the paltans, seizing their 25 guns. . . . Jivā Bakhshi with 20,000 cavalry delivered a charge and fell in a tumultu us body on the Mirzā. The Rajputs came to the defence of Ismail and fought well, but De Boigne showered so many shot that many of them were slain. . . . At last it came to hand to hand fighting. The chief sardar of the Rathors was slain and this in the end became the cause of the Rajput defeat. - [Previous: v4.c44.s2.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c44.s2.54) - [Next: v4.c44.s2.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c44.s2.56) - [Up: v4.c44.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c44.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c44.s2.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c44.s2.55) · Pramāṇa
