Chương 149: Siege of Amer Fort Prt-2 (Crumbling of earth)

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

The morning sun gleamed on the soldiers' armor as they stood resolute, ready to march and reduce the fort to dust. Arranged in neat rows under their lords' banners, they waited for orders. Excitement sparkled in their eyes as the fort's gates crumbled under the barrage of cannon fire.

The flags with different banners fluttered in the wind. At first, the militia, trained in the ways of war, stood in quilted leather jackets with proper shields and gear covering their bodies. Behind them, infantry in heavy chain mail armor formed the second ranks. They were divided into spearmen, swordsmen, and archers at the back, which comprised the larger force.

Behind the infantry, the cavalry in neat divisions stood and formed the flanks.

King Karan Singh scanned the broken gates and commented, "They are not coming out. Seems they want to rat from the beginning."
