Answer:
The sepoys arrived at the gates of the Red Fort early in the morning on 11 May. Through 12 and 13 May, North India remained quiet. It was only after the word spread that Delhi had fallen to the rebels and Bahadur Shah had blessed the rebellion, events moved swiftly. Cantonment after cantonment in the Gangetic valley and some to the west of Delhi rose in mutiny. In the months of May and June, the British had no answer to the actions of the rebels. It was only later that they received reinforcements.
