A Journey through the Kingdom of Oude, Volumes I & II

CHAPTER V
47/83

Two guns were mounted on one battery, under the Futtehaesh regiment, and four on another, under the Seobundies.

A crowd of armed peasants attacked the battery with the two guns, drove back the regiment, captured the guns, and fired upon the soldiers as they fled.

They then attacked the battery with the four guns, and the Seobundies fled, taking their guns with them for four miles.

In their flight they had three men killed, and twelve wounded.

Hoseyn Buksh, on hearing this, sent his whole force, under his brother, Allee Buksh, to avenge the insult.
Seodut, thinking he could not prudently hold out any longer, evacuated his fort during the night, and retired, and Hoseyn Buksh took possession of the fort, and recovered his two guns.
