How 600 Horsemen DESTROYED 40,000 Persians | The Battle of Dara

The Persian commander told Belisarius to prepare his bath — he'd be inside the fortress by nightfall. He was wrong. Dead wrong. In 530 AD, 40,000 Sassanid Persian soldiers — including the legendary Immortals, the most feared cavalry force in the ancient world — marched on the Roman fortress city of Dara. Standing between them and total conquest was a 25-year-old Roman general named Belisarius with only 25,000 men, most of them demoralized and outclassed. What happened next was one of the greatest tactical masterclasses in military history. Belisarius dug trenches that turned the open desert into a death trap. He hid 600 Hunnic and Heruli horsemen on the flanks. And when the Persian Immortals smashed through his lines, he sprang the most perfectly-timed cavalry ambush in recorded history — surrounding and annihilating 8,000 elite Persian cavalry.
