How did Alexander the Great conquer the Persian Empire?
He had the superior tactics like how he cut down the Persian chariots by letting them brake his ranks but then attacking them from all sides so one of the Persians best weapons was practically useless against him. His weapons were also way better like the balista (a giant mounted crossbow). But the main victory was at gautama where he crushed a Persian army of 250000 with his small army of atound 7000. He couldn't go around his enemy and attack from the back since the Persian army was so big that if he wanted to go back it would take two days. so he moved his cavalry to the left. Then the Persians clumsily followed him and created a gap in between their army. Suddenly Allexander destroyed the Persian army from the back and then easily hacked down the rest. Although Darius III escaped, he was murdered by one of his generals.
