Chapter 221: Battle of Kashmir Part -4

Kashmir , outskirts of Sri Nagar , evening of April 25, 1557

The Battle for Kohala Pass turned out to be a major turning point for the Bhargavian forces. That short hill became the gateway to the surrounding mountain walls within the valley.

The reason General Rudra was delayed in reaching the battlefield was due to the need to maintain the supply chains that were vital in this harsh weather. As a result, he had to rely on the limited weapons provided by Prince Aditya to be used in the battlefield, which turned out very favorably for his side.

After crossing over, they swiftly took over the town of Muzaffarabad and set it up as their first line of outposts. The town had already been abandoned by Ladakhi forces, and the civilian populace fully supported the new rule, as changing realms had little effect on them as long as they were fed and protected.
