ABSTRACT
We, whose wishes were for such a day, after appointing guards for our camp, and invoking the support of an all-powerful Creator, mounted and advanced to the charge. For two complete hours the action raged with violence and a heavy fire of cannon and musketry was maintained. After that, by the aid of the Almighty, our lion-hunting heroes broke the line of the enemy and chased them from the field of battle, dispersing them in every direction.—From Nadir Shah’s own account of the Battle of Karnal.
