(November 2023)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> All the Portuguese outposts around the major fort at Baçaim had been taken. Their supply routes from the north and south had been blocked, and with the English manning the seas, even that route was unreliable. Chimaji Appa arrived at Bhadrapur near Baçaim in February 1739. According to a Portuguese account, his forces numbered 40,000 <a href="/wiki/Infantry" title="Infantry">infantry</a>, 25,000 <a href="/wiki/Cavalry" title="Cavalry">cavalry</a>, and around 4,000 soldiers trained in laying mines. Furthermore, he had 5,000 camels and 50 elephants. More joined from Salsette in the following days, increasing the total Maratha troops amassed to take Baçaim to close to 100,000. The Portuguese, alarmed at this threat, decided to vacate Bandra, Versova and <a href="/wiki/Dongri" title="Dongri">Dongri</a> so as to better defend Baçaim. As per orders of the Portuguese Viceroy, the <a href="/wiki/Pedro_Mascarenhas,_1st_Count_of_Sandomil" title="Pedro Mascarenhas, 1st Count of Sandomil">Count of Sandomil</a>, only Baçaim, Damão, <a href="/wiki/Diu,_India" title="Diu, India">Diu</a> and Karanja (<a href="/wiki/Uran" title="Uran">Uran</a>) were to be defended. These were duly fortified. In March 1739, Manaji Angre attacked Uran and captured it from the Portuguese. This was followed by easy Maratha victories at Bandra, Versova and <a href="/wiki/Dharavi" title="Dharavi">Dharavi</a> which the Portuguese garrison had vacated. Manaji Angre joined Chimaji Appa at Vasai after this. Thus by April 1739, the noose around Baçaim had further tightened. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Malhar_Rao_Holker._Coloured_lithograph._Wellcome_V0045041.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Malhar_Rao_Holker._Coloured_lithograph._Wellcome_V0045041.jpg/250px-Malhar_Rao_Holker._Coloured_lithograph._Wellcome_V0045041.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="323" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Malhar_Rao_Holker._Coloured_lithograph._Wellcome_V0045041.jpg/330px-Malhar_Rao_Holker._Coloured_lithograph._Wellcome_V0045041.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Malhar_Rao_Holker._Coloured_lithograph._Wellcome_V0045041.jpg/500px-Malhar_Rao_Holker._Coloured_lithograph._Wellcome_V0045041.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2232" data-file-height="3276" /></a><figcaption>Malhar Rao Holkar I</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Chimaji_Appa_Peshwa.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Chimaji_Appa_Peshwa.jpg/220px-Chimaji_Appa_Peshwa.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Chimaji_Appa_Peshwa.jpg/330px-Chimaji_Appa_Peshwa.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Chimaji_Appa_Peshwa.jpg/440px-Chimaji_Appa_Peshwa.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="768" /></a><figcaption>A painting of Chimaji Ballal Peshwa near Parvati temple in Pune</figcaption></figure> <p>Within the fort, the towers of <a href="/wiki/Fort_Vasai" title="Fort Vasai">São Sebastião</a> and Nossa Senhora dos Remedios faced the Marathas at Bhadrapur. The barracks and everything else were inside, with the main gate facing the <a href="/wiki/Vasai_Creek" title="Vasai Creek">Vasai Creek</a>. Appa began the siege on 1 May 1739 by laying 10 mines next to the walls near the tower of Remedios. Maratha soldiers charged into the breach caused by exploding four of them. Almost immediately, they came under fire from Portuguese guns and muskets. Appa, <a href="/wiki/Malhar_Rao_Holkar" title="Malhar Rao Holkar">Malhar Rao Holkar</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ranoji_Scindia" title="Ranoji Scindia">Ranoji Shinde</a> and Manaji Angre goaded their contingents to scale the walls throughout the day. Next day, on 2 May, the towers of São Sebastião and Remedios were repeatedly attacked. More mines were set off during the day, causing large breaches in the walls between the two towers. Around 4,000 Maratha soldiers tried to enter the fort, but the Portuguese opposition was fierce. They also managed to defend the two towers by lighting firewood. On 3 May, the tower of São Sebastião was demolished by a Maratha mine. Maratha armies could now easily march into the fort, without the fear of being fired upon from the tower. The encirclement and defeat of the Portuguese was complete. Appa decided to settle the war at this point by sending an envoy to the Portuguese. In his letter, he warned them that the entire garrison would be slaughtered and the fort levelled if the war continued. The Portuguese commander in charge of the fort duly surrendered on 16 May 1739.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
