May 1824 CE

Bandula, not wanting to overstretch, stops U Sa from proceeding to Chittagong.

Had Bandula marched on to Chittagong, which unbeknown to him is lightly held, he could have taken it and the way to Calcutta would have been open.

Were the Burmese able to threaten Calcutta, they could have obtained more favorable terms in the peace negotiations later on.
