Did the Persians have a chance to defeat the Scythians in the Black Sea steppes?

The troops of the Persians under the leadership of Darius I hardly had a chance to defeat the Scythians in the Black Sea steppes.
The Scythians were at home and easily navigated the steppes, while the Darius army used mainly the tactics of the main battles.
The Scythians used retreat tactics, leaving behind scorched fields and poisoning sources of drinking water. Small Scythian detachments disturbed the Persian troops with frequent raids, and again retreated into the depths of the steppes.
Pursuing the Scythians, Darius finally exhausted his troops, constantly demanding that the Scythian leaders take the main battle.
According to legend, the Scythians sent gifts to Darius in the form of an arrow, a bird, a frog and a mouse, which meant that if you do not hide in the sky like birds, in swamps, like a frog or a mouse in a hole, then die from our arrows.
The Scythians were ready to take the battle, but Darius, amazed at their courage and courage, decided to retreat. At the crossing over the Danube, the Scythians finally defeated the strong army of the Persians.
As you can see, the Persians had no chance to defeat the inhabitants of the Scythian steppe.
