Breaking Persia’s Line: Mazar, Walaja, and the Road to Collapse (633 CE)

Описание: The defeat at the Battle of the Chains was not an isolated disaster.
It was the beginning of a cascade.

By Six Hundred Thirty-Three, the Sassanian Empire rushed to contain the damage. New armies were assembled. New commanders were appointed. The goal was simple: halt Khalid ibn al-Walid before Persia’s frontier unraveled.

They failed—repeatedly.

Episode Eight follows the rapid succession of battles that shattered Persian resistance in Iraq: Mazar, Walaja, and the engagements that followed. Each confrontation revealed the same pattern—imperial mass and rigidity collapsing under speed, maneuver, and decisive command.

In this episode, you will explore:
• How Persia attempted to recover after the Battle of the Chains
• The Battle of Mazar and the failure of defensive concentration
• The Battle of Walaja and Khalid’s double-envelopment maneuver
• Why Persian command cohesion collapsed so quickly

This was no longer resistance.
It was disintegration.

With every defeat, Persian morale fractured, supply lines failed, and regional governors lost faith in imperial protection. What had once been a world empire now struggled to hold its own frontier.

📌 Continue to Episode Nine as the Euphrates corridor falls and Iraq slips from Persian control.
