章 95: Treachery of Mangalore [1]

Mangalore, Vijayanagara Empire.

The air was brisk and fresh. The roads and the pastures were dyed in the morning warmth. The armies were passing through the main road to capture the city of Mangalore. Parvathy Nair and Asokan Nair were leading the charge to capture Mangalore.

Their army was combined with significant numbers to take down mainly Anand Jadhav. One of the powerful noble houses in the Imperial factions. The fact that they had to send in two sizable armies spoke of the power of the Jadhav's.

They were equipped with some cannons also procured from the Portuguese due to a deal with the third prince. The cannon carts were pulled by the oxen and heavily guarded in the backline of the army. There was a special team trained for operating the cannon.

The cannons were Culverins specialized for long-range destruction. This definitely gave them an edge against the numbers of the Jadhav's.
