Defeating Darius III of Persia, 331BCE  Darius made sure that this battleground favored his army and its tactics particularly the use of his feared scythe-wheeled chariots.  Persian army of possibly 200,000 faced off against Alexander's 35,000.  Alexander immediately sized up the Persian's tactical advantage and countered by ordering his cavalry to shift to the right hoping to move his enemy away from its flat field.  Darius took the bait ordering his troops to follow.  Soon the Persians found themselves on rough, rock-strewn terrain.  Seeing the thinning Persian line, Alexander led the charge that crashed through to the Persian rear.  As at the battle of Issus, Darius fled, leaving the field and victory to Alexander  Darius was forced to flee, abandoning is mother, wife and children to Alexander
