The Battle of Sobraon (1846), fought on the banks of the River Sutlej during the 1st Sikh War (1845-1846). It was the decisive battle of the campaign and ended in a British victory. The Sikhs occupied an entrenched position and British and Indian troops advanced under intense artillery fire. Engineers eventually blew a breach in the fortifications, and British cavalry and horse artillery pushed through to engage the Sikhs in the centre of their position.
