Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c58.s4.4

v4.c58.s4.4

Leaving Jālnā on the 21st, Wellesley’s army slowly defiled through the narrow passes and broken country and reached Pangri, 10 air-miles northwards on the 22nd. Next morning the march was resumed, and Nālni, 12 miles onwards, was reached at 11 o’clock. Here he learnt that the enemy were not fourteen miles away to the west of Bhokardan and therefore close to Stevenson, as reported by spies before, but only six miles from Nālni, at Assaye, a good deal east of Bhokardan.
