章 225: Battle of Kashmir Part - 8

A Few Moments Earlier, Near the Western Gate of Hari Parbat Fort

Rudra, being the supreme commander of northern imperial corps, led the siege on the fort's western gate. Under his command, the army had surrounded the fort on three sides, establishing light barricades and tents in preparation for a long siege.

Soon, Faujdar Harish Pal returned with 2,000 forces, leaving behind a thousand in the base camp for the safety of civilians, with the remaining few patrolling the city that lay to the north of the fort.

From him, he received the report of 400 cavalry and 300 infantry dead in the process. It was heartbreaking news, but one must be ready to face the brutalities of war.

Rudra ordered Harish to take command of the eastern and southern positions, while he would oversee the western front and reinforce the southern half.
