In 1857 the revolt of flames when Kanpur arrived and there the troops Nana Sahib lead in establishing freedom in the Peshwa and declared its leader Kanpur Tope. Nana Saheb appointed Tatya Tope as his military advisor. When the British army under the command of Brigadier General Havelock attacked Kanpur from the Allahabad side, Tatya devoted his life to the security of Kanpur, but on July 16 1857 He was defeated and had to leave Kanpur. Soon Tatya Tope reorganized his forces and reached Bithoor, twelve miles north of Kanpur. From here he started looking for an opportunity to attack Kanpur. Meanwhile, Havelock suddenly attacked Bithoor. Although Tatya was defeated in the battle of Bithur, the Indian soldiers under his command displayed such bravery that even the British commander had to be praised. Tatya was an unmatched general. Not getting distracted by the defeat, he reached the area of Rao Saheb Scindia from Bithur. There he was successful in joining the famous army unit named Gwalior Contingent. From there he reached Kalpi with a large army. In November 1857 he attacked Kanpur. Under the command of Major General Vindal, the British army stationed for the security of Kanpur, fled, but this victory was short-lived. Sir Colin Campbell, the General Commander of the British Army, defeated Tatya on 6 December. So Tatya Tope went to Khari and captured the city there. In Khari, he got many guns and three lakh rupees which were necessary for the army. Meanwhile, March 22Sir Hughes besieged Jhansi. In such critical times, Tatya Tope reached out to the aid of Rani Lakshmi Bai with around soldiers. The British army was surrounded by Tatya Tope and Rani's army. Ultimately the queen won. Rani and Tatya Tope then reached Kalpi. In this war Tatya Tope once again had to face defeat against Huroz. The battles of Kanpur Charkhari , Jhansi and Konch were in the hands of Tatya Tope. They were unfortunately defeated at other places except Charkhari. Tatya Tope was a very capable general. After the defeat of Koch it did not take them long to understand that if no new and vigorous steps were taken, the freedom fighters would be defeated. So Tatya left the responsibility of protecting Kalpi on the Rani of Jhansi and her other allies and they themselves went to Gwalior in disguise. While Huroz was celebrating the conquest of Kalpi, Tatya achieved such a remarkable success that Huroz was taken by surprise. Tatyas counter-attack was unbelievable. Maharaja Jayaji Rao Scindiahad joined the army and captured the famous fort of Gwalior. The Rani of Jhansi, Tatya and Rao Saheb playing the cover of victory entered Gwalior and declared Nana Sahib as Peshwa.
