Mughal Babur defeats Afghans and Bengals at the Battle of Gogra in 1529.
The War of Ghaghra, fought in 1529, was a pivotal battle in the Mughal Empire's conquest of India. It was fought after the first Battle of Panipat in 1526 and the Battle of Khanwa in 1527. The battle was fought between Mughal forces led by Babur and the Sultanate of Bengal led by Sultan Nusrat Shah. Babur was now joined by Sultan Junaid Birlas of Jaunpur, who led a force of around 20,000 troops. The main body of the army, led by Askari, was ordered to march down the river to pull the enemy out of the camp. They were supposed to divert the Bengali army's attention long enough for a division led by Babur and Muhammad Zaman to move the artillery and musketmen over the river.
