 | Respond from Persian King To: Omar, Khalifat of Islam Army letter from Yazdgird 3(632 AD - 651 AD) The original copy of this letter from Yazdgird III (632 AD - 651 AD) is in Museum of London, We hope one day we can buy it from British who originally took it from us! It is our patriotic duty to poses this valuable asset. The date in which this letter has been written is after the Battle of Ghadesiyeh. As you know, a natural disaster, a massive sand storm blown on Persian troops & practically blinded them & took their battle vision. the sand storm directly blown on their front & caused the loss of this battle. Later on Muslim Khalif mentioned that Allah sent the massive Sand Storm in Persian Faces, so they lost the battle, Allah was the protector of Muslim against Ajams (what Arabs call Persians). Battle of Ghadesiyeh did not just cost us a great loss due to a natural disaster, yet it also cost us the life of our greatest Persian Hero, Commander in Chief of Persian Army, General Arteshbod "Rostam-e Farokhzad." Tazis killed Rostam in this battle. Rostam & his squad fought until the last drop of their blood & at the end even after he lost his sword, he fought Arabs with bare hand & his shield, Rostam & his selected squad killed as many Tazi as they could, yet finally it was destiny for our hero to die for Iran. Tazi savages rushed & attacked him in all directions & killed that great Persian soul, Ahura Bless his soul, Rostam was the symbol of Persian Empire & Iranian Glory. Battle of al-Qādisiyyah : The first day of Battle ended with Persian advances and the Arab force appeared as though it would succumb to the much larger Sassanid army. In particular, the latter's war elephants terrified the Arab cavalry, and succeeded in creating confusion among the Arab fighters. By the third day of battle, Arab veterans of the Syrian campaign (being conducted nearly simultaneously) arrived on the scene and reinforced the Arab army. In addition, a clever trick -- whereby the Arab horses were decorated in costume -- succeeded in frightening the Persian elephants. When an Arab warrior succeeded in slaying the lead elephant, the rest fled into the rear, trampling numerous Persian fighters. The Arab Muslims continued to advance their attacks during the night (called the "Night of Clangour"). At dawn of the fourth day, a sandstorm broke out -- blowing sand in the Persians' faces. Quickly, the tide turned and the Sassanid centre gave way, particularly with the help of Arab archers. Rostam, who had been commanding his force from that location, killed and beheaded. Arabs announced the deed, displaying Rostam's head before the fighters, Seeing their respected leader's head dangling before them, the Persian fighters lost nerve and begin to flee. Most of the Sassanid fighters lost their lives in this melée, with a small number announcing their conversion to Islam. The Islamic conquest of Persia (633--656) led to the end of the Sassanid Empire and the eventual decline of the Zoroastrian religion in Persia. However, the achievements of the previous Persian civilizations were not lost, but were to a great extent absorbed by the new Islamic polity. Many historians have long offered the idea that Persia, on the verge of the Arab invasion, was a society in decline and decay and thus it embraced the invading Arab armies with open arms. This view is not accepted however. Some authors have for example used mostly Arab sources to illustrate that "contrary to the claims , Iranians in fact fought long and hard against the invading Arabs. This view further more holds that once politically conquered, the Persians began engaging in a culture war of resistance and succeeded in forcing their own ways on the victorious Arabs.[ |
 | The Battle of Gaugamela (Part 1 of 2) One of the most accurate depictions of Ancient Greek/Macedonian war in modern media. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gaugamela The complete battle version from "Alexander Revisited - The Final Cut" With amazing speed, strength, and persistance, Alexander and his Macedonian army of Greeks and Macedonians took much of Asia Minor from the Persian Empire, in the process defeating one of their most celebrated generals, Memnon of Rhodes. After returning from Egypt, where Alexander was declared Pharaoh and son of Zeus-Ammon, Darius, King of Persia, cut Alexander's supply lines at Issus and forced Alexander to battle him there. Darius was defeated, and Alexander's supply lines were never cut by an enemy force again. Darius was not done. He rebuilt his army, swelling its size to between 100,000 to 250,000, and made up of a vast host of infantry, and some of the best and most celebrated cavalry in the world from Bactria, Hyrcania, India, and more. Included were hundreds of Scythed Chariots and a few war elephants from India. The estimates place Alexander's army at anywhere from 40,000 to 60,000 Greeks, Macedonians, and other mercenaries/auxiliaries, made up primarily of Phalangites with the 16-18 foot long sarissa, and heavy cavalry of the Thessalians, Greek allies, and the legendary Hetairoi ("Companion" Cavalry). Alexander let Darius choose the field of battle. Darius picked a field outside of the village of Gaugamela. He meticulously had the field brushed flat for maximum efficiency for his chariots. Every rock was upturned, brushes removed, the sand flattened. Alexander's plan was a madly audacious one, which very nearly failed in the heat of battle. Having massed his cavalry on his extreme right flank at the Battle of Issus, Darius was more cautious this time, and massed much of his cavalry opposite the Macedonian right to stop a major flanking maneuver, as had happened at Issus. As Darius expected, the Macedonian cavalry began to charge far off to the right, as if to flank the Persian army. Darius did not expect for Alexander's cavalry to be hiding light infantry and missile troops in the dust of the horses. While the Macedonian Phalanx held the lines (the left flank under Parmenion being particularly brutalized by the heavy Persian left, and very nearly dissolving under Persian pressure) against the Persian infantry, and the Persian cavalry mass was lured away from the King, Alexander sprung his trap. Darius had inadvertantly parted his lines and exposed himself at an angle which a cavalry charge, if done with enough force and daring, could reach the King himself. The Persian cavalry was ambushed by the light troops and missile troops, combined with the clash by the Macedonian cavalry, and were either defeated or kept in place while Alexander led his Companions straight into the crack of the Persian line. It is said Alexander got so close to Darius, that he hurled his spear at the King and missed by mere inches. The Scythed Chariots were a key element of Darius's army. In a brilliant tactic later used by Scipio Africanus against the elephants of Hannibal Barca at the Battle of Zama, Alexander's troops stepped aside, opening lanes into which the chariots could pass through, and be speared from the flanks. Portrayed in the movie, Darius panicked and fled, throwing his army into disarray. Some accounts have it that Darius attempted to regroup his army, but the army was already broken, and Darius was forced to flee. Before Alexander could pursue Darius, news came from the left flank that Parmenion's infantry were in danger of collapsing. The Persian assault had been heaviest on the left, and Persian cavalry were already trickling past Macedonian lines to loot the Macedonian camp and attempt to rescue Darius's family being kept hostage. Alexander wisely pulled back to assist Parmenion and save his army. Darius was killed some years later by his own generals. Alexander treated his body with great respect and gave him a great funeral. |
