Kingdom of Mewar Vassal states: Mughal Empire Babur's advance towards Delhi and Sanga's expansion towards Agra made war inevitable between the two kings.

After his victory against the Lodi Empire, Babur wanted control of Bayana, which was an important fort to defend Agra against Sanga's advance.

By Babur's order, Ustad Ali Khan was given instructions to cast a monstrous cannon to bombard Bayana and other forts.

The Afghan chieftains, along with Nizam Khan of Bayana, were intimidated by the military power of Rana Sanga and hence chose to accept Babur's overlordship.

An attempt by the garrison to sally forth and fight ended in the rout of the Afghans and several of their officers were killed or wounded.
