The Mughal ruler Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodi in the First Battle of Panipat in April 1526. Despite having a smaller army, Babur used coordinated formations, flanking maneuvers, carts, matchlocks, and artillery effectively. Lodi’s forces collapsed after several hours, he was killed, and the victory laid the foundation of Mughal rule in India.
