Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c44.s2.60

v4.c44.s2.60

No victory could be more complete. All the property guns and arms of the confederates left in the field or in their camps were captured. Next morning De Boigne went with some guns to the gate of Patan city and threatened bombardment; the Rajah Sampat Singh was powerless to resist. The city surrendered, and of the common soldiers nearly 2,000 cavalry and 10,000 sepoys grounded arms and were sent away with only the dress they stood in. De Boigne next laid siege to the fort of Patan, which capitulated in the course of six hours, and all the vast enemy property deposited in these two places fell into the hands of the victors.
