The Journey For Glory

Battle Of Tayma

Imran's POV

I can see Zayn on his horse far away leading his cavalry he was looking a bit nervous but he was confident as the enemy approaches we heard a horn the enemy army suddenly stopped then a man with noble armour came in front of our lines and announced

" I'm the Governor of Sinai khasrov I shall challenge any Muslim to fight me in a duel before the battle it's was common culture in past so I challenge you" he announced with a deep voice with anger in his voice

Suddenly I heard a familiar voice from  very far as the voice became clear I saw Zayn on his horse

" Khasrov I respect you and I acknowledge the fact that you have the knowledge of duel I shall speak out in front of my army to see if anybody is here who can fight you" he told khusrov with a smile

" Brave Muslims who wants to take first kill I want to award it to you anybody want to kill a Egyptian" he asked before us with a smirk and there were lots of hands in air asking permission to go and fight

" Me Imran of Delhi I will kill him" I asked the permission with a smile

"Very good then fight" Zayn said and then he returned to his unit

I came forward somehow I had a feeling that he is going to charge at me on foot Idk from where this feeling came but I think because of the speech of  Zayn khusrov became angry and then he charged at me

I dodged his sword grabbed his leg from left and stabbed my sword in his neck my sword got through his neck he was dead I heard the noises of alhamdulillah coming from my back I took a deep breath then raised my sword in the air yes I won the duel it was such an amazing feeling

Then we heard the horns once again this time it was the enemy cavalry they were charging toward us I ran back in my lines

Our men were encouraged by the victory which I gained

I was looking as the enemy came toward us I can hear the repeated name of Allah coming from all around me the soldiers were reciting almighty's name we can see the sand which was loosened waiting desperately for the enemy to get stuck in it

The plan was when the enemy is stuck in the sand will advance our spears and start stabbing luckily our spears were long not the ordinary one like the phalanx one and that was an advantage against cavalry but for enemy's infantry we had our swordsmen which were going to flank and attack the stucked enemy from behind.

"The enemy they are coming with full speed be calm and hold your spears with strength" I shouted

Zayn's POV

"I never thought enemy would be this dumb they were straight charging at our spears" I thought in my head

"Is something wrong my lord" one of my companions asked with worry in his eyes

"Nah I'm waiting for them to fall for our trick" I told him

I saw from far away the enemy were trapped in the sand I ordered the horn and soon spears started to move forward I ordered second horn and then we saw the arrows of our archers started to rain down on the stucked enemy and then the third horn ordering wali and swordsmen to go behind the stucked enemy and attack from behind

And then it was my turn

I waved my sword and shouted "forward!!!!!! Towards the archers"

And we slowly started to move our horse and then gained speed after 30 seconds we were at our full speed

"Charge!!!!!" I told my men then we clashed with enemy archers and the fighting was fierce I felt someone at my back then I turned back with sword in full swing and his throat was on the sands with blood coming out of his neck like water from a fountain.
We fought we fought till the archers were running I heard a voice

"Sir sir  lord wali has sent words they need support the enemy infantry is holding we need to go" a messenger from wali speeched Infront of me he gained attention from all the soldiers

"I said very well let's go" I told them they all were exhausted but they had smirks and they all shouted
"Let's do it once more my lord"

"Come on then charge!" I shouted with a smirk

Imran's POV

we were holding the enemy while the swordsmen were attacking them from behind but there number was so much it felt like this is never gonna end then we heard the noise of horses

"It's him it's lord Zayn he defeated the archers" someone shouted

Hearing this filled an energy in all of us we had the sudden adrenaline and our attacking speed was doubled I killed two of them with single blow in the chest 

"Our leader he is dead run for your life" a enemy shouted then all of them started running

Our victory was clear soon the enemy was on their run

"Don't chase them let them run for their life" Zayn shouted from his horseback

We obeyed his orders

And then we marched into the city of Tayma the Egyptians they already had a population in Tayma measuring around 10,000 to 20,000 civilians Tayma was well built it seemed like Egyptian came out of their nuclear camps before us

It was night we all were enjoying the night the sky was clear everybody telling their story of bravery in the battle and some of them remembering the ones who fell in the battle

" They are 9594 of them the enemy dead body and our casualties are 800" the counting team stated

"By this we can say that the enemy has lost their will to fight they probably not gonna attack any soon" Zayn said with a serious face

"We will stay here until we get reinforcement from the capital I want 3000 more men because there will be more enemies there is a possibility that we may end up fighting the Byzantines or the Iranians" Zayn said with anger

"Then I will send words to capital requesting reinforcement" Alman said while writing the letter for reinforcement

"Very well until then we will wait in Tayma" Zayn said we all nodded our heads
