One of the main reasons why the rebels of 1857 in Delhi failed to defeat the British outside the city walls despite launching fierce attacks was ?
The rebel attacks on the British were disorganised
The rebel attacks on the British were disorganised option is correct.
Contemporary and modern accounts — including those of Sir John Kaye and, more recently, Mahmood Farooqui’s translation of the Mutiny Papers — describe the sepoy sorties from Delhi against Britain’s siege force on the Ridge as brave but uncoordinated. Different regiments launched piecemeal attacks without a unified command, common battle plan, or effective artillery support, while Bahadur Shah Zafar’s court council and Bakht Khan struggled for control.
The Emperor did in fact lend nominal leadership, the city populace supplied the rebels (albeit reluctantly, see the previous question), and the British on the Ridge were repeatedly outnumbered until reinforcements arrived in September 1857; the decisive weakness was operational disorganisation, which allowed the smaller British force to hold and eventually storm the city.
