Bab 151: Siege of Amer Fort Prt-4 (Hammer and anvil)

Kingdom of Amber, Fort of Jaipur, few days back on 12th march 1557.

General Nagpal stood on the southwestern fort's battlement, observed the battle like a hawk. Everything had progressed according to plan: the merging of the southern and western infantry, the clash at the walls, and the subsequent trapping of the cavalry. Yet, despite the seemingly flawless execution, he felt a pang of dissatisfaction.

He regretted the lack of time, which resulted in no clear path for the enemy cavalry to pass through the trenches, leading to a halt in their charge and forcing them to maneuver. He had already anticipated this outcome and had prepared his side of cavalry to charge, thanks to Puran Das's cooperation. The cavalry had been positioned to force the enemy to converge toward the northern direction. However, the main problem was the large enemy infantry positioned behind.
