Breaking News Tatya Tope to the rescue at Betwa River

March 31

betwa battle 1858

We have just heard that Tatya Tope is at the Betwa river, and guess how strong his army is! 20,000 men! and 28 guns!

At least in Jhansi, the end for the British is near now! We are all getting ready to burst out of the fort and start fighting the British.

The siege will not last very long and victory for us is with in hand.

Of course we expected Nana Sahib to help, but we thought he might send a contingent of 4-5,000. But 20,000 men and elephants and horses, and strong guns and fresh supplies is more then what we could have hoped.

Rose’s can not contain and keep the siege on the fort and fight Tatya Tope’s army.

More as the information being available.
