PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST MY FRIEND PLEASE MARK IT BRO......

The armies of the Delhi Sultanates consisted of four types of soldiers.

1. First were the soldiers that were directly recruited as soldiers in the army of the Sultan.
2. The second category of soldiers was those who were employed on permanent basis by nobles and provincial governors. These soldiers were placed at the service of the Sultan whenever necessary.
3. The third category was those soldiers who were recruited only in times of war on temporary basis and were paid only for that period. 
4. The last category were Muslim soldiers who joined the army as volunteers at times of war against the Hindu kingdoms. These soldiers considered such war to be holy war.

Answer:

In the Delhi Sultanate,

Amirs, Khans, and Maliks were several ranks in the military. The army recruited men from several countries. Elephant corps, cavalry, and infantry made up the army.

Explanation:

• The Sultans served as court of appeals' chief judge, chief lawmaker, and leader of forces.

• Amirs, Khans, and Maliks were several ranks in the military. The army recruited men from several countries.
• Elephant corps, cavalry, and infantry make up the army. Various rudimentary machines, such as manjaniqs and mangos, were used as a form of mechanical artillery.
• Some reforms introduced by Sultans of Delhi were: -
• Under Iltutmish, army recruitment, payment, and management were all centralised

• Balban used two-pronged tactics to defeat the Mongols. First, he traded envoys through the Mongol courts. He also built two defence lines.

• Three classes of soldiers were established by Alauddin Khilji: foot soldiers, soldiers with one horse (ek-aspa), and soldiers with two horses (do-aspa).

• Soldiers were given hereditary land grants by Firoz Shah Tughlaq (the system ruins the army). Ranks become heritable.
