[QUOTE="ashdoc, post: 149995, member: 15932"] [B]battle of panipat , phase two [/B] the afghan troops were ready back in their positions by afternoon . on their right , they saw that the gardi troops were alone without cavalry escort. immediately the gardi troops were charged by the afghans in full force. normally ,the cavalry troops of damaji gaikwad and vitthal shivdev would have easily repulsed this charge . but we have already seen that they had foolishly expended themselves by attacking the musket carrying afghans ,and thereby getting slaughtered. normally a musket carrying infantry needs some cavalry to protect it in case of cavalry assault from opposite direction , after they have expended their musket ammunition. the gardis were close to finishing their musket ammunition now , and needed cavalry protection to protect them from assault by the afghans. but the cavalry protecting them was already destroyed by its own foolish assault , and they were left to fend for themselves. they fought as best as they could , but they were slaughtered to a man .......but not ibrahim khan gardi , whose dream of dying a true general's death along with his soldiers was not accomplished .........he was captured by the afghans. but it must be remembered that they and their gallant commander had honoured themselves on the battlefield by taking on a numerically superior force ,and nearly decimating it .....only maratha cavalry's foolishness had prevented then from grasping complete victory ,at least on its side of the front. now for events on the right of the marathas ---- while all this action had been going on , the maratha right wing , and the afghan left wing in front of it were silent . by merely remaining opposite each other , they had contained each other , and prevented the opposite side from going into action. here malhar-rao holkar had deliberately taken position , so as to be opposite najib khan rohilla , who was his secret friend . both had agreed not to attack each other . furthermore , at a prearrainged signal , malhar-rao left his position ,and escaped from the battlefield . najib did not attack him . thus malhar-rao made it to safety by his cunning methods , and went back home . about 1500 maratha troops made it to safety with him. his departure suddenly exposed the flank of the scindia troops who were to his immediate left , and now they were attacked from the side rather than from the front ,where they had expected malhar-rao's troops to be defending positions , and were caught by surprise. they were immediately cut to pieces by the afghans , and jankoji scindia himself had to run to safety towards the center with the remainder of his troops. thus the maratha left wing was defeated , and the right wing was turned towards the center. the action now moved towards the maratha center as the afghans attacked from all sides.
