A large army of Mughals marched towards the capital of Karnavati. They were well-equipped and ready to fight.
Smoke could be seen in the distance from where the army had been marching. They had plundered and looted all the villages in their path, raped the women, and killed the men. It was a chaotic scene.
They burned down the villages to the ground. It was a grim situation for the Maratha citizens to see the Mughals invading into the borders and killing them. Some civilians tried to fight back and died in the process.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of lives were lost by the hands of the Mughals soldiers.
Askar Khan was dissatisfied. He rode his horse in the frontline of the marching army. His thoughts were lingering on the previous battle with the royal commander of the Marathas, Baldev.
He didn't think of Baldev highly, but he did a lot of damage to the army. Their cannons were made worthless by him.
