[QUOTE="ashdoc, post: 149989, member: 15932"] [B]maratha expedition to panipat [/B] the news of dattaji's death fell like a thunderbolt on the marathas when it reached pune , the capital. immediately , great preparations were made for war. the peshwa's cousin , sadashivraobhau was selected as commander ,for recently he had won a splendid victory over the nizam at udgir.raghoba was neglected ,as his expedition to punjab had brought only debt to the peshwa , and had proved to be financialy unprofitable. sadashivrao bhau ,popularly known as bhau , as he will be called in this narrative ,was a great believer in the european style warfare using long range muskets ( rifles ) handled by well-drilled and disciplined infantry troops.he had defeated the nizam using these troops , under a great commander , ibrahim khan gardi. so the core of the army ,as well as the most well paid part of it ,was 9,000 gardis , as they were known . along with them were 200 heavy cannon ,which were useful to destroy heavy fortifications very quickly .bhau had a lot of expectations from his 200 cannons.but this style of warfare , though effective , went completely against the maratha style of mobile warfare on horses , and many marathas were completely unused to it.this fact was to have grave implications for the war. but the peshwa accepted bhau's decision , and added to it a vast retinue of servants , dancing girls ,wives of soldiers , camp -followers totalling more than 2,00,000 people ,thus totally changing the maratha style of making war with only light cavalry . this was to have disastrous results in the coming conflict. this army now aped mughal splendour ,with its vast array of splendid tents ,magnificiently caparisoned elephants and horses, well-dressed troops . to the 9,000 disciplined gardis ,were added 22,000 of the peshwa's own troops ,the famed huzrat horsemen ,the very flower of the maratha army.as the army moved north , to it was added the various sardars troops , and the fighting men totalled 85,000 men. scindias of gwalior ,holkars of indore , gaikwads of baroda all added lustre to the names of the galaxy of generals who accompanied the expedition. the total number of men ,women ,servants etc numbered 3 lakh people. considering the vast numbers ,the army moved slowly , and by the time it reached across the chambal river,it had taken more than two months to cross , and the rainy season was at hand .
