This tactic required a lot of luck. Hadn't Alexander's men on the right managed to win – they would not be able to attack the immortals. Not to mention that macedonian left flank was almost destroyed in battle.
Me watching these tactics just incase I'm reincarnated as the general's lazy heir 😂😂
Persian are shown to have so many troops, let they're not using them all in the same time? Plus they sent the first attack down the center just to die.
Mahoraga of the real world
Darius was an AI army. The Cav charged the phalanx… typical AI move
WHY IS IRAN SO STRONG NOW AND GREECE HAS TO BEG EUROPE?😊
IS IT POSSIBLE, THAT A LOT OF THIS WESTERN STORIES ARE LIES?
AND WHY IS THE IRANIAN LANGUAGE THE MOTHER OF EURO-INDIAN LANGUAGE AND NOT GREECE IR MACEDONIAN?
AND WHY IS THE WEST C4YING RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE IRAN CLOSED THE GREAT IRANIAN STREET OF HORMOZ.
BECAUSE OF THE HATERED.😂
High risk high reward
Nice vids brother
داداش تا جایی که میدونم. روم همیشه از ساسانیان شکست میخورد 😅😅
stupid loss for well educated genius commanders
Name of the music?
you gotta explain more in depth man
Pov:lines of battle in the Middle Ages
Surely this relies on the opposition retreating
A big part of it was his troops had to trust he would go relieve them rather than chase Darius.
Why did Darius have such a big line behind him? Woudlnt it be smarter for him to have them more surrounding of him instead of 4 troops in the front and 10 in the back
nah I'd win
I don't see a gap being exploited. I see a frontal assault. And I see cavalry freed up on the right attacking Darius. Am I stupid?
Alexander only won, because his speers were longer than that of his enemy. Their speers were made of two parts for easy carrying, but in battle they were fit together and stuck well out of his phalanx.
Why would red just waste their chariots like that?
Reincarnation 😂
Love the convenience of the left two enemy units on the right flank just disappearing at the right moment in order to give Alexander the units to attack with . And this isnt how the battle went take a look at JFC fullers book
Oh wow, this illustration showed it better than all the ones I've seen before. I understand clearly now the oblique tactic. The oblique tactic was to ensure Darius' cavalry to his right is far enough so that it won't be able to get back to help Darius. Alexander also lured Darius' elite center to engage his phalanx, thus exposing Darius' to Alexander's counter attack. Alexander's target was always Darius' center but he had to lure out the immortals before he could do it. Damn, it's like Alexander is a counter punching boxer, luring Darius to lunge, thus exposing him to a KO punch to the chin after exposing himself to a full attack. Well done Kings and Generals.
Darius was a total moron, he had twice the number of alexander's troops and kept a large amount of them in reserve, instead of telling all of them to just attack alexander at the same time. Nothing here makes any logical sense. No one with half a brain should be this stupid.
How did he know about their formation
Its just strange he throw away the charriot better to flank alexander
Crazy that I accidentally pull this off almost everytime I fight, because I accidentally create a gap and my monkey brain sees an exposed general and charges
Greeks devastated Persian Dominance, Arabs killed and Turks buried forever.
yes there are a fact on table but u are v bad story tellers..
Maybe make a video talking about how horrible Darius was as a General and king instead of fawning over Alex so much.
