Fall of Chindewara
The Fall of Chindewara was a 10-day siege that lasted from 10 January to 20 January 1822 in the city of Chindewara, just 20 kms from Narkaner. It was primarily fought by the Lucio-Galbadian forces led by General Sir. Benedict Humeray and the Auro-Sikh forces under Flórián Székely de Kisbátor.
Kisbátor placed his forces in a strategically advantageous position at Chindewara, hence that it took 10 days before Chindewara fell to Humeray. The turning point came when the Nihhonese Chiyoda Company Regiment under the command of Col. Akina Sumiyoshi navigated to a less-protected part of Kisbátor's defences and delivered a decisive blow on Kisbátor's defences, allowing Humeray to press the attack. The Nihhonese then occupied the northern sector of the city, resulting in some Aurucolians and Sikhs to be trapped inside the city that had not yet fell to the Lucians. Meanwhile, the Galbadian forces under Field Marshal Georg Ludwig Koppel prevented Kisbátor from reinforcing the city in an attempt to regain the initiative and forced him back.
The fall of the city marked an end to Aurucolia's rule in Central Indiae, being that Chindewara was the last Central Indiaen city to fall and the last city to be liberated in the Deaccan Plateau. Chindewara's fall forced Kisbátor to retreat to Bhopal, where he made a stand against Humeray's forces. But for a second time, Bhopal would fall to the Lucians following Chindewara, effectively ending any Aurucolian or Sikh presence in Central Indiae.
