A army of 1500 marched to take north Iran while in the south another army of 1500 marched. one of the armies was commanded by Muhamad Ibn Abdullah and the other was commanded by Ali khan for both this was the first time such a big operation was happening. They were unexperienced but they had read books about tactics and leading an army and were trained by experienced generals.

## Army one under MIA

Day one

When the caliphates army crossed the borders they met no resistance but when they marched 8km deep. They saw and army of about 1000 soldiers standing in open ground. The enemy cavalry charges at the caliphate army.

"Legion formation, pikemen at the front lines, other soldiers ready pilums" commanded Muhamad ibn Abdullah. The soldiers from ranks and the pikemen take position at the front lines and other soldiers ready their pilums waiting for them to get within rage of 33 meters. They enemy charge consisted of 150 horses from there appearance they looked like light cavalry only wearing leather as armour. The cavalry enters the range 800 pilums are throwen at the same time, phck phck!! was heard when the pilums impacted pricing there weak armor hundreds of the cavalry men died only 30 come out surviving most of them wounded. The horses crash into the wall of pikes killing all the horses. The soldiers from the horses fall down only to be killed by pikemen. only 5 pike men are wounded.

The enemy infantry charges. "prepare shield wall" commands Muhamad Ibn Abdullah. The pikemen move back as soldiers with thick armor and big shields take there places at the front lines. The soldiers once again prepare to throw pilums as well as 350 archers of the caliphate. The enemy was disorganized and was badly equipped to make it much worse this was on open ground. When the infantry came into the archers and pilum range about 1000 missiles(not modern referring to projectiles). The combination of arrows and pilums had deadly effect percing shields and then killing the soldiers behind the shield. The pilums burst open skulls and riped apart limbs as the arrows impaled the enemy. The battle was still not over about 200 enemies were still alive. The sound of cavalry thundering was heard but this time it was the caliphates light cavalry. The cavalry cut through the enemy their curved blades gorging out deep cuts. At the same time the infantry advanced together as a solid block of men. The enemy soldiers couldn't stop them and were killed.

"Takbir Allah Ackbar" shouted the caliphate's soldiers.

The battle was won. with only 8 casualties to the caliphates cavalry due to enemy archers. The Iranians had lost the whole army and 25 were taken prisoners.

"The men are tired we will camp at the hills over there and it is getting dark" says Muhamad

"also treat the prisoners well we don't want to make God our enemy"

"yes sir"

"sir there is a village up ahead" says one of the advisers

"OK prepare the men" says Khan

"yes sir you are welcome to our village" says the scared villager

## Day 2

Both of the armies started their march to take strategic points.

Army one

Objective take: Farm lands of Tabas Masina up north. This will cripple Iranian economy

Army two

objective take: Fortified city of Zabol . This will be used as forward operation bases to further advance into Iranian territory.

### Army one

The moral was high after victory day before. The army had been marching for a few hours to take Tabas Masina a key strategic position and main source of food for the iranians.

Two horse riders galloped towards MIA's (Muhamad bin Abdullah) horse.

"sir and enemy force of 150 soldiers are defending the farm land they have also built a ditch and a woodden wall around the village" says one of the horsemen

"hmm a smart commander. MIA "get the medium ballista's to position on that hill and tell them to load Greek fire rounds, tell them to fire at will" he says to his vice comander while pointing at a small hill.

"yes sir" the vice comander says as he moves to command ballista units.

The ballista's take position on the hill. muscular men lift 20kg heavy round of clay pot filled with Greek fire with a fuse. Once the shells are loaded and fuse lit on fire 5 men load the ballista. They train the ballista on target.

"on my mark fire" shouted the leader of the ballista team.

They rounds zipped away at incredible speeds impacting the wooden walls within seconds at the distance of 500 meters. Each hit their targets on spot the clay shell exploded as the Greek fire was ignited. The first volley was devastating blasting through the walls and burning the soldiers behind it. The caliphate army then surrounded the make shift fort. Not letting the enemy soldiers escape.

"Ok enough infantry ready to push" says MIA

The infantry advances as a wave of water in a clam beach. When they walk over the devastated walls the find burnt corpses everywhere all of them were soldiers. only 20 enemy soldiers remain trying to stay in block formation.

"surrender have you not seen how hopeless this is" says MIA as he gallops in the front of the army.

"you will kill all of the villagers and us if we surrender" says one of the enemy soldiers

"No i wont no villager will be hurt and if you surrender you wont be killed" replies MIA

The soldiers looked at each other as the was happening a burning tree was about to fall on a child. MIA galloped as fast as possible moving the child away from the falling tree. He then places the child on the ground.

The enemy soldier look up to the caliph and say "we surrender" as they drop their weapons.

The battle was over and no non combatants were hurt. 130 enemy soldiers dead. No caliphate soldier lost or injured.

After the battle

MIA's tent

"This is going too slowly we have already taken out main Iranian armies i am dividing the army in five armies each with 300 men" say MIA

"sir wont that make us venerable" say vice commander

"it will make us less venerable since they wont be able to flank us" replies MIA

"yes sir" says the vise commander.

"i want one of the army to move to Gazik the second to move to Razeh the third to move to forg the 4th Eshk and the 5 th to move to lanu but let the mean reast for now"

### Army 2

A rider gallops towards the caliphate camp.

As he gets close few soldiers from the caliphate stop the rider but after they realize he is a messenger from 1st army they let him through. Ali is siting in his tent with his commanders planning his next attack when a messenger wearing black armor and barged in.

"sir i am a messenger from Muhamad Ibn Abdullah. He orders you to split up your army into 5 and take Zahak khamak Lurgbagh Adimi. He said if this is successful the main farming Provence will fall with most of the Iranian economy with in a few days they will surrender or starve" say the messanger

"i was just thinking about doing that tell him his orders will be carried out" replies Ali

The messenger walks out.

"Sulam will lead the first army osman the second army hasseb the third army Jack the forth army and ill lead they 5th army gentlemen i need these lands captured today" orders Ali

That day 5 armies of 300 men left the village to take their respective objectives.

At 0700pm nearly all objectives were taken except Adimi the most important objective.

The caliphates army was in full formation they were outnumbered 4 to 1 but the enemy was untrained and disorganized so they should be fine. The enemy soldier charge at the caliphate soldiers. The caliphate soldiers throw pilums but the enemy were in too great numbers. The Iranians crashed into caliphate shield( just imagine the movie 300). The shield wall held strong it was worth it to bring heavy infantry. The Talwar's rip through the leather body armor since it was made to go through plate armor it didn't have much trouble going through soft lether armor. The battle lasted a 5 whole hours while the enemy army was defeated caliphate suffered the biggest casualty count of up to 85 soldiers. The objective was taken.

### Arabian sea battle

In Arabian sea a fleet of 15 ships sail towards pasabander a big port city it has been suspected that Arabian tribes were supporting the Iranians with weapons and food. As they reach closer an enemy fleet of 25 ships meet them. The enemy ships were fast corvettes. The caliphate navy waits for them to enter their range. The enemy gets in range. About 80 clay shells filled with Greek fire 20 of the ships just got obliteraterated. The other ships still kept charging. The scorpians and plybolus fired Fire darts at them setting them on fire. The iranians burning jumped into water. After destroying the enemy fleet the bombarded the port with all types of weapons burning it to ground 3 more ports to go.

## Day 3

The caliphate army was marching relentlessly taking cities quickly because Iranians fought the caliphate on open land nearly all of their army was destroyed. The Iranians had Withdrawered all forces to Tehran the only well fortified city. This was good for the caliphate they can have the moral upper ground telling Iranians that there leaders abandoned them and left them to starve. This caused many villages and cities to surrender to the caliphate. Nearly 3 provinces surrendered in one the. Due to the cause that Iranians had started a war with the only caliphate in the world and that the Iranians were Muslims many off them joined the caliphate. due to this the caliphate was busy finding well educated Iranians to become governors.

The caliphates army was moving towards theran but that will take them time.

Persian gulf

The caliphate navy was about to engage the other port city they had take out the defending iranian fleet with only 2 casualties since this time they wernt repeating getting close they started using bows. In front of the caliphate navy stood the port of Bander. They shelled it for good one hour after completely burning it down they moved to the other port.

### Day 5 siege of Tehran has begun.

After Tehran is taken the caliphate will capture entire iran.

## Day 8
