BABUR AND IBRAHIM LADO 1


One group of soldiers had to ride along the sides and attach the Lodi army from the back. The other two groups had to attack the Lodi army from the sides.
Babur used his small army very efficiently. He placed big guns called cannons in a line in front of his army when it faced the Lodi army.
In India, people were not used to such weapons.
Lodi did not know how to fight this attack from all sides. His army was badly hit by the quick and efficient Mughals.
As Babur attacked, many of Lodi's soldiers were killed. The remaining ran away, after being chased by Babur's fast horsemen. A general of Ibrahim's army came to Ibrahim and said, "YOUR Majesty, Your life is precious. If we loss, you can always from another army later and fight."
But Ibrhim Lodi said, "Nom I cannot go away, See there are so many people fighting for me, I cannot leave them." So he fought on.
When Babur was informed about Ibrahim Lodi's death during the battle, he said to his soldiers, "Take me to his dead body."
On seeing Ibrahim Lodi lying dead on the ground, Babur bent down and lifted his head with his hands and said, "He was a brave king. I will give him te funeral befitting a king. I will also make a tomb for him."
Thus ended the rule of Ibrahim Lodi, the last ruler of th Delhi Sultunate.
Babur became the first Mughal Emeror to rule over a part of North Indiaa around Delhi and Agra.
After his victory in the Battle of Panipat, Babur ruled only for four years. He did not spend much time in India. He was a brave and kind ruler.
HIS BODY was very fit and strong. He is said to have swum nearly every big river in India and that too often against the current.

He was so healthy and fit that he could carry two people, one on each shoulder, and run or even climb a slope.
