Chandragupta conquered Magadha by attacking their borders and slowly weakening the outer reaches of the city first.

Chandragupta conquered Magadha by attacking their borders and slowly weakening the outer reaches of the city first. This strategy allowed him to gradually weaken the defense of Magadha and gain control over its surrounding territories. By strategically targeting the outskirts of the city, he was able to weaken the Magadha forces and disrupt their communication and supply lines. This gradual approach also allowed Chandragupta to gather resources and gain support from local rulers and populations. As a result, when he finally attacked the city itself, Magadha was already significantly weakened, making it easier for Chandragupta to conquer it.
