Aurangzeb thought that it would be a good idea to capture an easy fort like Ramsej right at the beginning so as to increase the morale of his troops.

But all 600 Marathas on the fort worked for a full night and rebuilt the entire broken section of the wall, much to the despair and awe of the Mughals.

Such fierce resistance made the Mughal soldiers believe that the Marathas on the fort knew black magic.

Shivaji and his son Sambhaji had a policy of keeping enough ammunition even on the forts having no cannons or guns.

Coupled with the ammunition already present on the fort, these wooden cannons started inflicting heavy losses on the Mughal Army.

Bahadur Khan Kokaltash was distraught and found that Marathas were receiving secret supplies from the nearby forts.

Seeing this situation, Maratha King Sambhaji acted quickly by sending his sardars Rupaji Bhosale and Manaji More with an 8,000 strong army and supplies.

Bahadur Khan Kokaltash was also unable to siege the fort, finally, he burnt the wooden platform and left the battle.

However, many of the Marathas escaped capture or death by using a rope which had been set by Rupaji Bhosale from the back-windows of the fort.
