Devaraya II's southern campaigns

Timeline

1. 1423Vijayanagara · KarnatakaBahmani sultan Ahmad Shah I Wali led an army to besiege Vijayanagara. The crown prince Devaraya II commanded the defense under his father, Vira Vijaya Bukka Raya, and successfully held the capital. Though the empire was badly damaged in this campaign, it established Devaraya II's prestige in the army and laid the groundwork for the subsequent counteroffensive.
2. 1425–1426Raichur–Tungabhadra doab · Deccan PlateauAfter the siege, Devaraya II led his army in a counteroffensive in the northern Deccan, fighting back and forth with the Bahmani Sultanate in the Raichur doab region. According to later historians, his military operations bore fruit, and around 1426 the Bahmani court was forced to move its capital from Gulbarga to Bidar, temporarily securing the empire's northern frontier.
3. 1427–1432Condavidu · CondaviduDevaraya II campaigned eastward against the Gajapati kingdom of Odisha, defeating Banudeva IV at Condavidu around 1427 and repelling a Reddi invasion of Condavidu. By about 1432, the small Reddi states along the Andhra coast had submitted one after another, and the empire's northeastern frontier advanced to the Krishna River, completing the eastward expansion of this phase.
