Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c56.s17.4

v4.c56.s17.4

As the British cavalry came up, the enemy opened a heavy fire which revealed the exact extent of his lines. Lake clung to his position in front of the enemy and called up his infantry and guns from the camp two miles in the rear. They took an hour to arrive, and during this enforced halt the British cavalry suffered heavy losses in men and horses. Lake’s own horse was shot under him.
