Only seven months ago, the Arabs captured Damascus, the last important town in Asia, and the Mamluk regime in Egypt has become the only remaining armed force in the Islamic world. I suddenly feel that the whole Islamic world is now standing on the edge of a cliff, and the heavy responsibility of turning the tide falls on my shoulders. Life and death depend on this battle. If it fails, the Islamic regime in this world will cease to exist. Before the battle began, Sultan Hudu (Quts, 1259- 1260) in Mamluk, Egypt, got the news that Xulie Wu had returned to the East. But he didn't know how many Mongolian troops remained in Damascus, so he didn't dare to make a move. At that time, in Syria and Palestine, there were not only Mongols and Muslims, but also Franks who stayed after the Crusade. Kitbuqa tried to maintain the Franco-Mongolian alliance, and he was very inclined to the Christians there, not only because he was a Nestorian believer, but also because he seemed to realize that it was good for both sides of the Franco-Mongolian alliance. Unfortunately, the barons of Aga still regard Mongols as barbarians, and even they prefer Muslims to the rule of these so-called barbarians. Therefore, a military action of the Crusaders showed Kitbuqa's strength in Sudos. Count Julian of Sidon and General John of the Templar Order of Beirut led an army to attack the Mongolian patrol, and Kitbuqa's nephew was killed in the battle. Kitbuqa was furious, led the army to fight back, completely defeated John's templar troops, and then captured Sidon and looted it. In fact, the punishment of being deceived is not worth the loss. It not only broke with the Crusader regime completely, but also exposed too few troops. The alliance between Franks and Mongols, whether open or secret, ended here.

This break emboldened Muslims, because Aleppo, the Sultanate of Ayubid dynasty in Damascus, was conquered, but there were still powerful Muslim troops, Mamluk troops and the monarch of the Sultanate of Egypt. Mamluk is a mercenary, which means slave in Arabic. Since the 9th century, the caliph of the Abbas Empire began to buy slaves from Asia and the Caucasus, and received strict combat training since childhood, becoming the elite force of the caliph. Later, many Arab countries followed suit, Sudan. They formed the Sudanese army of Asoka dynasty in Egypt. 1250, they overthrew the Ashoka dynasty and became the masters of Egypt, and their generals became the sultans of Egypt. Sultan Mamluk, who was in power in Cairo at that time, suddenly realized that the situation was changing in his favor. Xu Liewu and the main force of Mongolia have set off for Persia. Without the assistance of the coastal Franks, it is impossible for Kitbuqa to maintain its defense against the conquered areas with only 20,000 troops at most. Therefore, all thoughts suddenly made up their minds to take this opportunity to fight Kitbuqa. 1On July 26th, 260, Mamluk's vanguard troops left Egypt for Palestine under the command of Baybars, and defeated a small Mongolian army under the command of Baidal in Gaza. Instead of helping the Mongols, the Franks of Aga allowed Mamluk's troops to cross their territory and replenish food and grass at the gates of Aga. According to the History of Duosan Mongolia, there are about 12000 people in Mamluk headquarters of Sudu, and there are also several Syrian Arabs and Turkic barbarians. Finally, the Coalition forces were formed, and the number of Coalition forces was controversial, ranging from 12000 to 30000. Historians generally believe that it is between 30 thousand and 50 thousand. Sudusi's army went to Syria through the Gaza area controlled by the Crusaders.

September 3 1260 Mamluk cavalry and Mongolian cavalry fought in Ain Jaru Plain near Nablus, Palestine today. After decades of invincible, the Mongolian army suffered from the "victory disease", the symptoms of which are arrogance, underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly. The Mongolian army's field capability is well known, and the Xuliewu Western Expedition Army was on a roll all the way, without any defeat. The Arab army was shocked by the Mongolian military strength and unanimously chose to stick to fortified cities and avoid field battles. As a result, the Mongolian army greatly underestimated the field combat capability of the Arab army, especially the Mamluk cavalry. Although Kitbuqa was the number one expert under Xu Liewu, he was blind and confident at the beginning of Ain Jalu Battle. He led his troops into battle in a hurry and took the lead in attacking.

The task of Baybars Legion is to pretend to retreat and lure Mongolian troops into the trap set by Hudus. With a little resistance, 10 thousand Mamluk cavalry retreated into the valley, and the Mongolian army pursued it and rushed into the valley. If Kitbuqa is careful, he should be able to find that the retreating Mamluk cavalry is orderly and doesn't look like being defeated at all. Unfortunately, Kitbuqa, like his Mongolian soldiers, has been carried away by victory, and there is no doubt that he broke into the encirclement of Sudus. Worship bath's army soon returned to this array, so the whole picture of Mamluk's camp was presented to Kitbuqa. 65,438+/kloc-0,000,000 Mamluk cavalry lined up in a six-kilometer-long front, thick in the middle and thin on both sides, in a concave crescent shape, in order to exert the intensive firepower of bows and arrows. All of a sudden, I want to command the overall situation in the central government and worship Bass to command the right wing. The light cavalry deployed in the mountainous areas on both sides also rushed out at this moment, forming a three-sided encirclement of the Mongolian army.

After finding themselves surrounded, the Mongolian army briefly panicked and the servant Syrian army left the battlefield directly. Kitbuqa quickly judged the battlefield situation, and immediately ordered two ten thousand-man teams of Mongolian army, each with one thousand Armenian heavy cavalry as pioneers, to attack the weak and prominent wings of Mamluk camp. Kitbuqa led the team to dive to the left of Mamluk camp. The charged Mongolian army suffered a volley of bows and arrows from the front and side, and suffered heavy losses. Mongolian cavalry showed a high degree of tactical discipline and rushed forward regardless of casualties. The cavalry on the two wings of Mamluk camp saw that Mongolian cavalry risked their lives and rushed up against waves of archery volley. Some Mongolian cavalry still have a few arrows in their bodies, and they are still screaming and rushing forward, and they can't help but be scared. In the blink of an eye, the Mongolian army rushed to the front, and the striker composed of Armenian soldiers wedged into the two wings of Mamluk Camp. The Mongolian light cavalry quickly followed the archery, and the heavy cavalry pulled out the sabre and chopped it left and right. Mamluk cavalry, who were already lacking in confidence, gradually lost their fighting spirit. The right wing under the command of Bath can barely support, while the left wing is facing the Mongolian cavalry headed by Kitbuqa, which is under great pressure and has begun to break up. The wavering of the fighting will of the two-wing cavalry spread to the central government like an infectious disease, and the entire Mamluk camp began to retreat, and the situation was in jeopardy.

Suddenly Deuce looked at his army in despair and was close to collapse. He threw his helmet to the ground and shouted, "For Islam!" , a single horse rushed into the Mongolian army, waving Damascus machetes to cut and kill, invincible, at least a dozen Mongolian cavalry were hacked to death. The heroic act of putting all your eggs in one basket aroused the courage of Mamluk cavalry. They only hesitated for a moment, then rushed up and fought fiercely with Mongolian cavalry with machetes. Facts have proved that Mamluk's army's previous retreat was purely for fear of war. Once they regain their self-confidence, they immediately burst into amazing fighting capacity. 1On September 3rd, 260, Kitbuqa's army was defeated in Ain Jarut near Lin Ze, but he kept the honor of Genghis Khan's flag. Schrade wrote: "Driven by enthusiasm and courage, he rode away, desperately slashing the left and right enemies and giving them a powerful blow. People advised him to retire in vain. He didn't listen to this advice and said,' I would rather die than retire. If anyone can see this brave soldier, tell him that Kitbuqa would rather die than retreat shamefully. I hope Khan will not be too sad because he lost a Mongolian army. Let him think of it this way: let's say that the wives of soldiers are not pregnant for a year, and the mares of their horses are not born for a year. I wish Khan happiness! Raster went on to write: "Although the soldiers left him, he continued to fight with thousands of enemies and was finally captured because of falling off a horse." His hands were tied behind his back and he was taken to Huduxi. Huduxi insulted the conqueror and said, "You have reached many dynasties, and now you are under arrest!" This Nestorianism Mongolian's answer deserves to be recorded in Genghis Khan's epic: "If I die at your hands, I think it's providence, not you. Don't revel in a temporary victory. When the news of my death reaches Xu Liewu Khan, his anger will be like a boiling sea, and the land from Acir occupation (Azerbaijan) to the Egyptian gate will be razed to the ground by Mongolian horseshoes! " He laughed at these Mamluk Sultans who happened to be kings. Murdering their predecessors is their usual way to seize the throne: "I have been a servant of Xulie Uhan all my life, unlike you who murder the monarch!" " Then he was beheaded.
