At the end of that time, they had erected and armed two batteries, which at daylight opened upon the walls which formed the flanks of the clear space behind the breach.

Although suffering heavily from the fire of the besieged, and losing many men, these batteries kept up their fire unceasingly, night and day, until great gaps had been made in the walls, and Charlie was obliged to withdraw his troops from them, behind the line of barricades.
During this time the fire of the batteries in front had been unceasing, and had destroyed most of the houses which formed the connecting line between the barricades.

Each night, however, the besieged worked to repair damages, and to fill up the gaps thus formed with piles of stones and beams, so that, by the end of the fourth day after the repulse of the first assault, a line of barricades stretched across the line of defence.
The enemy, this time, prepared to attack by daylight, and early in the morning the whole army of the nizam marched to the assault.

Heedless of the fire of the castle, they formed up in a long line of heavy masses, along the slope.

One huge column moved forward against the main breach, two advanced obliquely towards the great gaps in the walls on either side.
