@user7155572465845: Gaugamela, part 2. Darius finally unleashed his scythed chariots, the weapon he had levelled an entire plain for. Alexander's infantry did the opposite of what you would expect: they opened gaps in their own lines and let the chariots run straight through, while javelin men picked off the drivers. Meanwhile the Persian line stretched to follow Alexander's sideways march, and a gap opened in the middle. That was the moment he had been waiting for. Alexander turned his Companion cavalry into that gap and rode straight for Darius himself. Darius fled, his army collapsed, and the Persian Empire never recovered. Would you have charged, or held the line?
