Battle of Hydaspes (326 BC) history...let's know..

The great ruler Alexander, also known as Sikandar, attacked the Hydaspes river, which is currently known as the Jhelum river, in 326 BCE in order to conquer the world. This battle is known as the Battle of Hydaspes. It is believed that Alexander was so powerful that it was not easy to defeat him, but Alexander had to face defeat in this war. Alexander's dream of becoming the world conqueror did not come true in the Hydaspes war, but this battle remained the fourth and last battle of Alexander.

In fact, after the death of his father, Alexander ascended the throne of macedonia in Greece. At that time, Alexander won over the Persian Empire and slowly started trying to spread his wings in northern India. In order to conquer the world, he also wanted to establish his authority over India. In the same sequence, he also sent a message to king Porus to kneel down and lay down his arms, but the courageous Porus rejected that message. Alexander felt very insulted by this and he prepared a complete plan to attack Porus.

When Porus came to know that Alexander had crossed the river to attack him, he also proceeded to attack with his army. Porus placed his cavalry on the bank of the river, kept the infantry in the middle and elephants in front. Alexander deployed his heavy infantry in a phalanx in the center, himself led the cavalry on the right wing, and sent the cavalry of the left wing under Coenus on a wide, outward ride behind a hill. Alexander had landed in the field with about 50,000 soldiers at that time, and Porus had only 20,000 soldiers standing in front of him, but the 200 war elephants of king Porus of Paurava defeated Alexander's army on the very first day of the war. In this war, not only did the world conqueror Alexander lose, but he also entered into a treaty with king Porus. After this war, Alexander also helped Porus to conquer many kingdoms.
