Babar introduces Field Guns at Panipat, 1526 (litho)
8660979 Babar introduces Field Guns at Panipat, 1526 (litho) by Dudley, Robert Ambrose (1867-1951); Private Collection; (add.info.: Babar introduces Field Guns at Panipat, 1526. The great Mughal prince, Babar, on invading India was met at Panipat not far from Delhi by Ibrahim Lodi, who, like Porus ages before him, relied on his elephants. Babar utterly routed him by the same tactics as those of Alexander, helped by seven hundred field guns, then a novelty. It took some time for the Indian chiefs to grasp the change, and the tactics were repeated at Kachwaha in 1527 and Ghaghra in 1529, and enabled Babar to found the Mughal Empire.
