Immediately afterwards , Ibrahim sent 5000 soldiers to the plains of Argos in order to seize Nafplion . When Ibrahim ' s forces reached the mills of Lerna on June 24 , Captain Makrygiannis and Mavromichalis organized a resistance force containing 350 Greek soldiers ( Walter Alison Phillips places the number at 250 ) . Prince Demetrios Ypsilantis and several philhellenes volunteered in the defense of the garrison . Protecting Lerna was vital since the mills contained large quantities of grain that supplied food to Nafplion . The mills of Lerna were surrounded by a stone wall that was flanked by a deep pond and a marsh . Moreover , the garrison was supported by two gunboats that were anchored a short distance ( or " musket - shot distance " ) from the shore . Unfortunately , the Greeks did not repair a small break in the stone wall . As a result , a small contingent of Arabs exploited this weakness in the defensive structure and attempted to create an entrance by increasing the size of the break . When the Arabs forced themselves through the break , they were prevented from regrouping once they entered the courtyard . Thirteen Arabs were killed by a charge of Greeks and philhellenes led by Makrygiannis . Ultimately , the remaining Arabs in the overall contingent were forced to flee .

Despite the constant reinforcements he received , Ibrahim was aware of the fact that the Greeks were prepared to staunchly defend the Lerna Mills and he eventually retreated to the plains of Argos . From there , Ibrahim took his army to Tripolitsa on June 29 , 1825 .
