Tulughma
Tulughma was a flanking tactic of Central Asian origin in which mobile cavalry units swept around the enemy's flanks to attack them from the sides and rear. Babur used it at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526. The sultanate's army of approximately 100,000 was destroyed there by Babur's field artillery combined with flanking tulughma tactics.
