Editing Battle of Maonda and Mandholi (section)

==Battle==
Jawahar thus attacked and plundered the villages of Jaipur and molested its villagers in revenge while returning from Pushkar. The [[Kachwaha]] army followed and attacked forces of Bharatpur at [[Mandholi]], which was the last station of the Jaipur state and was located near to the frontiers of Bharatpur state. The [[Jaipur State|Jaipur]] artillery had lagged behind, causing their first attack to be repulsed by the Bharatpur army. [[Jat people|Jats]], hoping to escape from the battlefield, entered a narrow pass ahead of them. In the middle of the pass, the Kachwaha cavalry overtook them. Jaipur forces stood firmly against the guns of Bharatpur and finally threw themselves, with swords in hand, onto Jat army. The Jat army fled with the first shock of Jaipur cavalry abandoning their baggage and artillery which was captured by Jaipur forces. With the rest of Singh's army dispersed, the French sepoys of [[Walter Reinhardt Sombre|Samru]] and Madec saved Jawahar Singh and enabled him to retreat into his territory. The royal umbrella of Jawahar Singh was also abandoned in the battlefield along with their baggage and artillery.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Hooja |first=Rima |title=A History of Rajasthan |publisher=Rupa Publication |year=2006 |location=New Delhi |pages=726}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Sarkar |first=Jadunath |title=The Fall of Mughal Empire Vol. 2 |publisher=Orient Black Swan |pages=285}}</ref>
