Battle of Nadiad [2]

Zaid was using the cover of the lush forest to mask his march towards the Fort. He already had the land around the fort surveilled for any hidden tunnels to escape. To his surprise, he was spot on, as he quickly found a tunnel leading into the fort in the forest. 

He was ecstatic by the discovery and told the commander. He was allotted a special unit to lead and sabotage supplies in the Fort. 

Before Omar started marching, Zaid had already split from the army. He made his way to the tunnel in the forest. 

The special unit surveillance the area once again to ensure that they weren't being watched. They then had to wait till the fight began and the Maratha commander was focused on Omar. 

"Let's enter the tunnel." He ordered as he saw the cannons firing on the fortifications.

The horses were tied to the trees. Zaid then wrapped an oilcloth on a stick to create a makeshift torch.
