The army King Porus had elephants as part of its centre. It was an army of infantry and cavalry, with the elephants as the equivalent of today's tanks.

The elephants were held by the pikes of the Macedonian phalanx, and separated so that they could not break the whole Macedonian line. Some were turned back on their own troops and broke them up, some passed through the Macedonian line and were dealt with in the rear.
