The bloodbath continued for the rest of the night, and it wasn't until dawn that the sound of gunfire stopped. But once the golden glow of the morning sun fell on the citadel, the sight that revealed itself to the world was gruesome and horrifying.
Dismembered corpses were everywhere, and body parts and burnt flesh made the whole citadel look like a hell on Earth. And not only that, a literal stream of blood flowed down the hill, forming a puddle that only grew bigger with time, as if it were spring water joining the river.
Within the span of four to five hours, nearly 15,000 Europeans were slaughtered without mercy, and one of the largest hills, a superior geographic asset, fell into the control of the Bharatiya troops relatively intact.
