The Rashidun Caliphate army under Khalid defeats the Persians and their Arab Christian allies at the Battle of Walaja in May 633; the Persian army is at least three times the size of the Muslim force.
Next, at the Battle of Ullais, Khalid’s forces defeat an entire Persian army (seventy thousand men) near the river Euphrates.
Khalid now besieges the fortress city of Hira, the regional capital city of lower Mesopotamia, with fifteen thousand men.
After a brief fight, the citizens surrender and bring gifts to Khalid.
