Turks and Arabs are famous for this approach and so are the Mongols. No wonder they ruled Persia for centuries.

It's fascinating to see Tulayha, who suffered defeats at the hands of the brilliant Khalid ibn al-Walid use Khalid's own style of warfare against the Persians
Khalid himself was once and enemy of Islam and fought against the prophet.
@@baha3alshamari152
What's more fascinating is that these former enemies of Islam fought for Islam with greater fervour than they did against it.
Such displays of faith and devotion are pretty rare in history.
@@RexGalilae thats because they really beleived in the message of the prophet
Khalid himself destroyed the Muslims in Auhud and nearly wiped out Islam from history, I don’t know how he got this Great War mind and such brilliance despite being cut out from warfare history and experience of other empires due to the deserts of Arabia.
@@zakariaalami1491 Or very likely because they knew they were given a second chance and couldn't expect another one, so they had to be succesful. Moreover it is not impossible that they were so devoted just to show that they are loyal. Ofcourse there also will be those that are strengthen by the message, but to think that is the most common (or even most) case is dangerous in terms of revisionism.
I like how they named their victory over the "king of kings" as the "victory of victories".
No, they named it Victory of victories because the Sassanids after this battle were not able to stop the advance of the Arabs.
@@MrCAlberto123451 but it was actually a parody mocking the “king of kings”
@@MrCAlberto123451 maybe it goes both ways... arabs at that time did love their poetic ironies
@@samnatt248 it wasn't actually, arabs were unfmiliar with it, and later they adopted the king of kings system though
@@MrCAlberto123451 OP never said they called it that because it was a victory over the "king of kings." They just said that they appreciate the parallel. Your comment could have been informative without your need to be "correct" about something that wasn't claimed.
This is the exact soothing that my stressed self preparing for university history course needed. Thank you Kings and Generals.
Same here. I'm doing my thesis work for my MS degree. And this was the needed relaxation
Good Luck to both of you
If you're an undergrad Adam then you really don't need to stress all that much. To say that undergrad history courses are a joke is an understatement. They don't go into detail on anything, just a general overview of major events and personalities. We spent maybe three hours on the entirety of the Roman era, for example, all the way from the beginning of the Republic to the end of the Empire. We never even went over the Muslim-Sassanid conflicts either, just a general overview of Muhammad's beginnings and his eventual conquest of the Arabian peninsula.
@@ericharrison7518 i'm studying a history of capitalism course and we've got comparative analyses of kocka, applebee, slobodian or brook, as well as the construction of the notion of capitalism throughout asia, india, europe and africa, as well as myriad of possible causes of its development. Although normally I find history as a hobby very intuitive and perhaps easy, studying it in this perspective I find really challenging. However, what I find the most difficult on the course is writing a long paper on the selected segment of the topic, on which I'm brooding right now. But I enjoy it very much.

@Matthew Goth loser
Can't help playing an armchair general and wonder why so many generals fell for the same tactic of feint retreat and ambush. Reconnaissance is probably an underrated aspect of war.
They might have done some scouting ahead in front of them and follow the Muslim army but didn't expect them to be in that ridge, since it is considered in their side and the muslims probably sneaked there at night.
Many reasons often different from one instance to the next. Overall though advanced battlefield maneouvers are very difficult and require a well disciplined core of veteran soldiers. We talk about the times it worked because it leads to these stunning victories that reshape history but we don't talk about the thousands of times it failed. A feigned retreat can very quickly turn into a real retreat and looks like one from an observers perspective so many attempts never even get recognized as what they were. Also the general knowledge of tactics and strategy that we enjoy simply didn't exist back then, they relied mostly on the experience of veterans to teach young leaders and the efficacy of this varies wildly. Lastly as you pointed out Reconnaissance was generally underrated. Rome was famously bad at scouting for several centuries as their noble born cavalry felt that scouting missions were beneath their status.
Remember messages and scouting reports had to brought manually back to the commanders and by the time they arrived there was a good chance the enemy had moved again. Communications weren't always anywhere near as fast as they are now.
A feigned retreat proposes a wager to enemy. Put yourself in the shoes of the Persians,they were getting grinded for like ages by the Caliphate. They were on defensive and destabilised. They needed something to turn the tables, something like a decisive victory. See how hard it would to leave alone enemy unscathed which could have been destroyed? Even if you consider the risks of a Feigned retreat,the temptation of the possibility of great victory can overwhelm you .It has happened many times in history a Victory fell short of being decisive because of caution. These are the moments which differentiate a good General from a Great one.
@@gerardb5220 so all the inhabitants of the town are all been executed? For what reason? If they killed civilians indiscriminately in the name of their god, then no one will follow their religion and they wouldn't be able to hold these lands as there will be rebellions everywhere.
You might have missed one great aspect of the victory on the muslim side, its Omar bin al Khattab, one of the greatest leaders of the Islamic history, humble and extremely intelligent powerful leader who conquered Persia and Egypt, and defeated the romans and still live in his old humble house made of mud.
Muslims then took decisions in groups, even prophet Mohammad was ordered in Quraan to take his decisions in groups, small councils includes the most intelligent men of the time, favoriting no one, no family member nor friend.
It's a shame islam is so evil, if only they were able to spread somethign worthwhile.
@@muazthunder Then it's clear that you know nothing about islam. the religion when raping children and prisoners is encouraged, where minorities are persecuted, critics, apostates, homosexuals, adulterers and heretics are murdered.

Like Sun Tzu said, deception is perhaps the strongest tactic of all time:
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” - The Art of War

The Sassanids were grasping their dreams of restoring the Achaemenid Empire until Heraclius rallied the Eastern Romans and restored the pre-war borders. Then everything went downward spiral from there, starting with palace intrigue, civil war and then the Arab invasion. So close to touching the stars but they fell and instead became conquered. Great series K&G, as always awesome material!
@Metallus Zorax Khosrow II was not entirely capable, afterall he was the one that ended up losing to the Romans and basically destroying the empire, he also made some foolish decisions like annexing the lakhmids etc.
they restablished achaemenid borders untill general shahrvaraz betrayed khosrow and joined heraclius because of a fake letter from khosrow
khosrow parviz's greatest mistake was marrying a byzantine woman, later his son from byzantine mother killed him

Umar Al Khattab was such a brilliant administrator and leader that he deserves his own video.
No doubt
Bullshit! You don't know anything about Islam history. There were Muslims and their commanders with their own power, bravery and minds who used to conquer areas and Umar never participated in any of those battles and he was sitting in Arabia. He was the biggest coward in history of Islam and he has scraped from all battles during Prophet Muhammad era. Did you know that you can't find even a weak source to prove that he could kill even one enemy of Islam? The man who conquered and won all battles during Prophet era was Imam Ali Ibn Abitalib who won all battles and never scaped from any battle. Umar and Abubakr hijacked the leadership of Islam from him by a coup.
@@MikaelGymBro As i can see Envyness , jealousy , covetousness , discontent , spite and grudge on your personality and character even if that courageous man was coward why we would use to travel 700miles from Medina to jerusalem & Damascus with a single camel and freed servant and take highly risks without any entourage and security protocol or personal safety guards for various protection and even Lord Ali a.s advises that he should refrain and prevent to led the islamic forces of Qadsiyya when he was in a highly invocation and solicination but he suggest him to stay at medina just because if he got absence from title of caliph the arabs will revolt and rebels betrays against the governance as caliphate collapse but still he used to spend life in simplicity as gandhi says ;
Abu Bakar and Umer a.s used to be the stewards of whole vast undefeatable imperialism and still prefer to live in austerity as he extend that even if someone like Umer born in india , every single issue , disputes and problems will be solved as an representative of romans came to medina and highly shocked after seeing poverty surrounding of capital of world soul supreme power and extremely shocked after seeing Umer ibn al khattab used to sleep on floor as he says ;
"If a men doesn't be able to learn from alliance he absolutely learns greatness from enemies as our ruler made corruptions and are cruel and ruthless still they are in longing to have curators and custodians besides them but then there's you Umer who spread justice but still be not afraid of world" people like you only envy or read greatness with nasty eyes of radicalism and hostile towards those whose superiority are above then starry heavens , poor you bedouin! As you are trying to show your irrelevant negligible "shitis" deism , even the truth has been accepted by the world as he would coward why should the makkah afraid of him and prophet gave him title of ethical and he was the men that islam got highly respect with while he was the only men to openly announce his migrations As he says ; "the one who want his wife to be an widow , his mother and offspring laments come behind the mountain" as the enemies of islam even romans and persian afraid of him
@@addictedtragedy2788
Your two page bullshit comment doesn't deserve to be read.
I say it short:
You say Umar was a brave and a great warrior who did conquer bla bla bla.... But your own books and sources say that he scaped from all battles during Prophet era. If you are son of your father bring even one source from your own book to prove that Umar have killed even one enemy of Islam!

@@gerardb5220 this is the problem with western historians. They love hypothesizing their own opinion than FACTS. Instead of hearing it from the people of the region, they say "vacuum control" "riches" or whatever. Because of their so called degrees that got into their heads rather than saying “they did this because of that” they say “in my opinion” and that’s how the truth is kept hidden or lost.
What about those expeditions into Makuria
@@gerardb5220 and I agree with you. They are not the best ethical examples (and that applies to any conqueror muslim or not). But the fact of the matter is that the Rashindun Caliphate Army had great generals, and they conquered a vast sum of territory in the span of a few years. That on itself is a great feat of Military History, and that's a real fact. That is all I wanted to say.
I'm tired of the stupid conflict some historians have over the Muslim Conquests, just because they dislike the idea of watching the Romans and Sassanian Armies loose to an "inferior" enemy.
They lost, nothing we can do about it, a new Empire came to dominate. That's human history since our civilizations rose. Empires rise, get their golden age and then fall; or are displaced by another empire.

This war was the definition of winning the battle, but losing the war for Persians.
very informative. love learning these. I'm inspired throughout the whole playlist featuring the early Islamic expansion, looking forward to exploring more! thank you @kings and Generals.
Umar is a very logical man. Albeit his decisions were sometimes controversial (e.g. Khalid recalled from military duty), it's always based on logic that unstopable military machine like him might have gained fanatic supporters unintentionally (khalid wasn't known as political man unlike Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan) if let loose for too long despite his contributions for Islam. That decision also opening up for another officers to shine. Truly, Islamic government was at its peak military and administration under Umar ibn Khatthab Radiyallahu 'Anhu.
Akhi we love Khalid radiAllahu3anhu but Khalid was only removed not because of hatred or envy as some western orientalist try to portray umar RA but it was because umar wanted to stop the rumors of Muslims wining battle after battle because of Khalid…when victory is only from Allah, but Khalid was just a means Allah used to grant victory to Islam and the muslims( rAnhum ajma3een) that’s the reason why its mentioned in our books of Hadith/fiqh- seerahtul sahaba and kutub Al jihad from mass transmitters. Western academia try’s to portray some sahaba especially umar as bad because a lot of Shia are in those institutions…They have this deep hatred that the blessed companions spread Islam and therefore deviated from the teachings of prophet Muhammad Alayhisalatuwasalam which is complete BS. JazakAllahukhayran just wanted to clarify
Loved the video, ohh and would also greatly anticipate video on intra caliphate politics
Another excellent program!! Thank You 😊 !! Very interesting 🧐
I"m loving this series, great stuff, please do keep it going
The strategy of this battle and every step is just a masterpiece. The 2nd half of it involving the trap could not have been possible without the 1st two failed human waves which made the Persians actually fall for the trap, and unable to consider the possibility Muslims could flip the table around (which they ended up doing). Even on the brink of losing and the odds against em, the Muslims still managed to turn it around at the last second for a decisive victory. No doubt it had a huge psychological effect throughout the persian empire that God was really on the side of the Muslims.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, the amount of work that goes into them must be tremendous. Doing a famous or interesting battle is tough enough, but going through an entire period of history and maintaining quality throughout shows outstanding devotion to your work. It is much appreciated.
Having said that, I do sense sometimes a bit of bias, for example, in the episode about the siege of Damascus 634AD.

kings and generals, this is PRIME top tier content, thank you for this.
Outnumbered, and fighting in the open fields against a better equipped enemy and still crush you're enemy. This is not human, these were people choose by god, agree or disagree. Facts
Just like countless battles in history, `I guess there's over a million battles in history , where the winners were chosen by god.
Was Hannibal a god's chosen? Was Caesar? Was Alexander?
Tactics are the things that matters the most in a battle, not Gods.
@@williammcadoo8685 not like this

I have learned much from your videos, this channel is best history channel that I have ever watched❤
I absolutely love the thumbnail. Great work
Very intensive, it's truly the greatest battle of the Sassanid-Muslim War since al-Qadisiyyah, and also one of the most awesome episode among Kings and Generals' videos.
For each time the Sassanid Persian army was so close to victory, the Arabs always turned the table ! Both sides performed the incredible leadership and prowess in battle.
love the tactics in this video-- unbelievable 'human wave' I must say
Your narration is fantastic, i can listen while driving home and not worry about looking at the phone just listen👍
You refer to Ali as Muhammad's son in law, but don't mention that Uthman himself was also Muhammad's son in law, twice over. He married two of Muhammad's daughters but they are less famous than Fatimah. Apparently Sunnis and Shi'ites disagree on whether Muhammad's other daughters were biologically his, or from Khadija's previous marriage. This may be why Ali is presented as "the son in law" despite not being the only one to hold that distinction.
Technically, all the four caliph is have connection and become family to Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Abu Bakar and Umar is father in law of prophet while Uthman and Ali is the son in law of prophet
Lmaooo shias aren't even considered Muslims by a lot of mainstream sunni muslims, so their opinion doesn't really matter lol.
@@1BASITSHAH Are you saying the Shi'ites opinion doesn't really matter? Their position is not unreasonable. Khadija was a widow and an older woman. It makes sense she would have children from the previous marriage and that she would be too old to have over four children with Muhammad.
@@alvirarahman2690 I'm not saying it's impossible. It's the Shi'ite belief, to my understanding. I'm just saying it's plausible
@Yunus - Jonah 1st of all u got it wrong. She was older and that's agreed upon but The Prophet was 25 whilst Khadijah was around 5 years older, not 15 years older as laymen tend to believe.
Just Watched Omer Series. they covered a lot of these events in it with the characters of these notable general and Caliph Omer's Biography
Where did you find it?
The Sassanid empire was seriously interesting, I’d love some in depth videos about them

Both the cities of Kufah and Basrah became well-established and highly important cities for the future of Islam, for it was there that the most skillful of literary scholars gathered and collected knowledge about the Quran and hadiths for the learning of future generations
It had to happen ..arabs wanted to take islam into heartland of iranian culture...Iranians already had better...written religion...they had to make islam bit modern...codified...
@@jagatdave The hell are you talking about lmao?
@@themercifulguard3971 the truth which arabs do not want to hear...peace to Arabia.. peace to iran...but let's accept it...iran is the true leader of Islamic world..so called Persia..
@@jagatdave you are so lost ,
When Prophet Muhammad Saw send invitations to Islam the King of Persian tear the paper and before the emissary return the Prophet got the News from Angel Gibrael and The Prophet cursed him may Allah tear his Empire (just because you tear my paper) and the new got after few days that the nephew of Persian King killed his uncle ( Persian King)
And he said how evil are you you take married women that belong to someone else and throw the Persian King from castle

We appreciate the though!
I watched the ad because this is the best content on CZcams
I woke up, launched CZcams on my phone, saw a new video from my favorite channel, I clicked. The end.
One of the my favorite battles
@@scourgeofgodattila4366 اشهد ان لا اله الا الله واشهد ان محمد رسول الله / oh Turk don’t lie The Persian Empire was completely conquered by the early Muslim Arabs until the Shah's crown was cut to small pieces

Good stuff. Thank you.
So this is the Persian equivalent of Mohacs for Hungary. The point where they can no longer exert their power outward
@@mastermindd so as we just changed religion if you call an Iranian an arab(except the samis) you are a dead person

Sir Muhammad Iqbal wrote: "If you ask me what is the most important event in the history of Islam, I shall say without any hesitation: “The Conquest of Persia.” The battle of Nehawand gave the Arabs not only a beautiful country, but also an ancient civilization; or, more properly, a people who could make a new civilisation with the Semitic and Aryan material. Our Muslim civilisation is a product of the cross-fertilization of the Semitic and the Aryan ideas. It is a child who inherits the softness and refinement of his Aryan mother, and the sterling character of his Semitic father. But for the conquest of Persia, the civilisation of Islam would have been one-sided. The conquest of Persia gave us what the conquest of Greece gave to the Romans."
It's amazing how an evil ideology like islam can turn what was a relatively sophisticated and refined country like ancient persia and turn it into a backwards shithole like iran.
And it set mankind behind
Bs, Arabs had build more then Persian do in 200 years
@@danielbromwich1827 Surly you are an ignorant dumb , when we talk about Islamic civilization we are not talking about political filthy regimes in 20th century & after that are not Islamic but using the costume of islam to role , we are taking about a centuries of golden ages of Islamic Empires were the principles of islam were applied ( justice , freedom of thinking etc ) that established the first universities in the world , hospitals, libraries were in Baghdad , damascus Tunisia morroco, Spain etc are good examples about that , in fact Islamic world during that time was the world center for sciences and philosophies , medicine & mathematics for centuries that after 1492 exported to europe .
While in Europe during that time ( 700-1450 )people where washing them selves once in life according to church instructions , & if a man had a severe headache they were thinking that the evil is living in his head & people were believing that the solar eclipse is caused by monster who ate the sun , while Muslims were precisely calculated the earth circumflex and created Algebraic calculations , and were having a great astronomical and geographical sciences that days .
You laterally need to read more .. dumb .
@@danielbromwich1827 aaaaaand you’re here again with a lot of bias against Islam
Really epic! Thank you
Great video as usual, keep up
I love Islamic history and because I'm passionate about it and intrigued so much i decided to learn Arabicand I did, just 2 years ago i did not understand a word in Arabic and now I'm fluent, Islamic history is full of intriguing stories and enlightenment-eras and historic battles, from the early rashidun caliphate into the umayyad caliphate and the Abbasid caliphate and the big empires and the golden age of islamic sciences in andalusia.
Are you iraqi?
@@Darksoil4555 No
ما هي لغتك الاصلية ؟.

Great video! Anytime we get a video on Iranian history is great! Does K&G do these videos randomly or does he have online polling where people vote on a topic?
I think if are a Patreon.
love this channel
Fascinating - thanks!
It’s interesting that there were so many multi day battles in this war. A rare thing in those days.
Sooo they finally deafted them by using "The Khalid Maneuver"
