Chapitre 207: War Of Ahom Part: 6

Ahom Kingdom, Saraighat town, Guwahati city, Northern battlefront.

The war horn has been blown, signifying the commencement of the war. But this time, unlike the numerous attempts made by the Mughals before, which ended in failure, this attempt is going to be the last one, as it is decided to be the final battle that decides the fate of this war. Near the town of Saraighat, on the Brahmaputra River, a defensive blockade has been formed by the Ahom ships and some floating barriers. The flow of water is calmer than usual today, making it more conducive to today's battle. Also, since the river is flowing downstream from where the blockade is placed, the Mughal ships could never quickly advance upstream.

Each of the Ahom ships carried 20-kilogram calibre cannons imported from the Dakshin Bhartiya Empire.
