Answer 1

Hints the first battle of panipat on $21$ April $1526$ took place between the invading forces of Babur and the Lodi dynasty. It took place in northern India and marked the beginning of the Mughal Empire and the end of the Delhi sultanate. It was one of the earliest gunpowder and field artillery battles in the Indian subcontinent introduced by the Mughals in this battle.

Complete answer:
Background of the first battle of panipat: it is estimated that Babur’s armed forces numbered around $15,000$ men and had between $20 - 24$ field artillery units. Lodi’s armed force was around $30,000 - 40,000$ men.

Battle: Babur secured his right flank against the city of panipat when he dug a tree- covered trench to secure his left. In the center he placed $700$ carts tied with ropes. Between each of the two carts was a chest for his match lock men. When Ibrahim’s army arrived, he found that the approach to Babur’s army was too close. While Ibrahim used his troops to create a closer front, Babur quickly took advantage of the situation to flank Lodi’s forces. Ibrahim Lodi died on the field along with $15,000$ of his troop. Vikramajit, ruler of Gwalior, was killed as well.
