Bahman Jadhuyeh: differenze tra le versioni

Quando gli Arabi, sotto il comando di [[Abu ʿUbayd]] organizzarono una spedizione nel [[Sawad]] (634), [[Rostam Farrokhzād]] inviò Bahman Jadhuyeh and [[Galinus]] contro di lui con una forza armata composta dalla possente classe dei [[Wuzurgan]], che poteva contare su [[Elefanti da guerra persiani|elefanti da guerra]] e [[Zhayedan]]. <!--Rostam is known to have to have told Bahman that: "if Jalinus returns to the like of his defeat, then cut off his head."<ref>Pourshariati (2008), p. 217</ref> Bahman, clashed with Arabs at Sawaw and successfully drove the Muslims back to [[Babylon]] west of the Tigris, and then drove them across the Euphrates, and camped at Qoss al-Natef on the east bank. [[Abu Ubaid]] camped across the river, and when he crossed the Euphrates on a floating bridge and attacked Bahman's army. Bahman then caught the Muslims with their backs to the river and inflicted a heavily defeat on them at the [[Battle of the Bridge]]. During the battle the army of Bahman had an advantage: the [[Persian war elephants|elephants]] in his army frightened the [[Arab]]s horses, and which later resulted in the death of [[Abu Ubaid]]. The bridge was then broken by an Arab, and around 4,000 Arabs died by drowning and many others were killed by the Bahman's forces. [[Al-Muthanna ibn Haritha|Al-Muthanna]] managed to flee from the bridge and rally 3,000 Arab survivors, however, some of them fled back to [[Medina]]. Bahman did not pursue the fleeing Arab army.<ref>Richard Nelson Frye, ''The Cambridge History of Iran: The period from the Arab invasion to the Saljuqs'', Cambridge University Press, 1975.
