Before such a compact formation, the Holkar cavalry with their Cossack tactics merely hovered round beyond the range of its fire, unable to stop its advance. - [Previous: v4.c48.s5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c48.s5.1) - [Next: v4.c48.s5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c48.s5.3) - [Up: v4.c48.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c48.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c48.s5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c48.s5.2) · Pramāṇa
