Битва при Гавгамелах (331 г. до н.э.): 47 000 против 250 000. Дарий бежал — Персия пала

331 BC. Alexander the Great leads 47,000 warriors against a Persian army five times his size. Darius III had chosen the flat steppe specifically for himself—to use chariots and elephants. But Alexander had found a single point where all this might would prove useless. One cavalry charge, and the largest empire of the ancient world was gone.
