The military tactics of Alexander the Great (356 BC - 323 BC) show that he was one of the greatest generals in history. During the Battle of Chaeronea (338 BC), won against the Athenian and Theban armies, and the battles of Granicius (334 BC) and of Issos (333 BC), won against the Achaemenid Persian army of Darius III, Alexander employed the so-called "hammer and anvil" tactic. However, in the battle of Gaugamela (331 BC), the Persians possessed an army vastly superior in numbers to the Macedonian army. This tactic of encirclement by rapid shock units was not very feasible. Alexander had to compose and decide on an innovative combat formation for the time; he arranged his units in levels; he pretended to want to encircle the enemy in order to better divide it and thus opened a breach in it

  • Las tácticas militares utilizadas por Alejandro Magno (356-323 a. C.) demuestran que ha sido uno de los más grandes generales de la historia. Durante la batalla de Queronea (338 a. C.), ganada contra los ejércitos ateniense y tebano, y las batallas del Gránico (334 a. C.) y de Issos (333 a. C.), ganadas contra el ejército persa de Darío III, Alejandro empleó la táctica llamada del «martillo y el yunque». Sin embargo, en la batalla de Gaugamela (331 a. C.), los persas poseían un ejército ampliamente superior en efectivos al ejército macedonio. Esta táctica de cerco por las unidades de choque rápidas no era muy factible. Alejandro tuvo que componer y decidir una formación de combate innovadora para la época: dispuso sus unidades en niveles; fingió querer rodear al enemigo para poder dividirlo mejor y así abrió una brecha en sus líneas defensivas.

  • La tactique militaire utilisée par Alexandre le Grand (356-323 av. J.-C.) tend à corroborer l'avis de nombreux historiens selon lequel le roi de Macédoine aurait été l'un des plus grands généraux et stratèges de l'histoire. Au cours des batailles du Granique (334) et d'Issos (333) remportées contre l'armée perse de Darius III, Alexandre emploie la tactique dite du « marteau et de l'enclume ». Mais lors de la bataille de Gaugamèles (331), les Perses possèdent une armée largement supérieure en nombre à l'armée macédonienne. Cette tactique de l'encerclement par des unités rapides et puissantes n'est plus envisageable. Alexandre doit composer et décide d'une formation de combat innovante pour l'époque : ses unités sont disposées en échelons ; elles feignent de vouloir contourner l'ennemi pour mieux le diviser et créer ainsi une brèche dans ses lignes de défense.
