The turning point of the battle occurred when the Scythed chariots led by Archelaus dived into Nicomedes army.
The sarissa-wielding phalanxes were vital in every early battle, including the pivotal battle of Gaugamela where the Persian king's scythe chariots were utterly destroyed by the phalanx, supported by the combined use of companion cavalry and peltasts (javelineers).
