Chapter 206: Fall of Baloch Part-4

Baloch region, Macch town outside of Bolan pass , morning of 12th April 1557.

The morning light cast long shadows over the plains as the Mughal army trudged forward. The battle at Dhadar had drained them, and the thick smoke from the fires had clouded their retreat, slowing them down.

Every step forward felt heavy as they struggled to regroup and move towards their next objective, that is the Machh town. Faujdar Amin glanced over at Farhan, who was marching at the head of his column with dark and brooding expression.

Amin, sensing the frustration in Farhan's mood, quipped, "You seem even more annoyed than usual. Didn't expect them to set the forest on fire, did you?"

Farhan, not even bothering to look back, scoffed. "We're late, Amin. What's done is done. No point dwelling on it."
