Siege of Multan

The Siege of Multan was a crucial military engagement during Alexander the Great's Indian Campaign. This operation took place over several months, as Alexander's forces besieged the city of Multan, which was under the control of the Malli, a local kingdom. The siege was part of Alexander's broader strategy to consolidate his power in the Indian subcontinent and to assert his dominance over the region. The Malli were known for their fierce resistance, and the siege was marked by intense fighting as Alexander sought to breach the city's defenses. The successful capture of Multan not only expanded Alexander's territory but also served as a demonstration of his military prowess and strategic capabilities. The fall of the city was significant in the context of Alexander's campaign, as it allowed him to further establish his influence in the area and paved the way for subsequent military actions against other local rulers.
