Bab 224: Defend the Capital [6]

*BOOM* 

*BOOM*

The long passage exploded into a sea of flames. The walls were painted red as the fort shook under the tremor of the explosions. The flames rose high and wide, clutching onto the dead bodies of the Mughals soldiers.

All the soldiers that entered the passage were torn apart due to the explosion. The passage walls were the canvas of the Mughal's intestines and organs. The surviving soldiers were burnt to a crisp from the rising flames due to the oil in the passage.

Shield and armor didn't matter as the flames melted it and the soldiers screamed in agony as molten iron seeped into their bodies, killing them slowly and painfully. 

The debris from the passage flew out from both sides of the passage. The Portcullis blocked the ones near the Marathas but unfortunately for the Mughals, soldiers in the front were struck by the debris and some died while others were gravely injured.
