208 War Of Ahom Part: 7 (END)

Ahom Kingdom, Northern battle zone, Guwahati.

The Mughal army that invaded Guwahati had just suffered a complete defeat. Bodies were scattered everywhere in the city, which had undergone major destruction. Corpses lay buried under rubble and debris of fallen buildings. As soon as the battle ended, the counting of casualties began, along with taking custody of the prisoners of war.

Lachit Borphukan observed all this with a complicated expression. His face did not reflect happiness or contentment. According to common sense, Lachit should be happy as his plan worked out nearly perfectly, but judging by his expression, it didn't seem like that of a person who led to a huge victory.

Observing the general's demeanour, Neerab decided to question him, "General, what happened? Didn't we win the war?"
