    Amazing! You need to do a sequel to this that describes the life of Abd al Rahman I - who had to escape Damascus as his family was slaughtered by the Abbasids. He had to run for his life. He swam across the Euphrates, crossed Africa, took refugee with the Berbers, and escaped all the way to Spain to establish the Umayyad Emirate.

He instead let the infantry engage then exploited a gap that formed and charged with the cavalry. More often than not, a head on charge by the cavalry into infantry at the onset of battle is just a fool's venture. Better to hold them in reserve for the critical moment or use them to engage against opposing cavalry.

No one just yolo charges head on into enemy infantry with calvary without purpose, I don't know why you would imagine anyone being that simple to begin with. Calvary can have many roles, and harrasing the enemy lines before infantry engages is pretty standard practice. I am addressing a misconception that many people have, that calvary vs spears work in the same way irl as they do in total war games.

      We see a lot of famous battles where this doesn't work out but a lot of the time, a big cavalry charge will get the enemy to flee and end the battle pretty early. It's similar to "Why do armies use Elephants when it always seem to go against them in famous battles?" Obviously they worked before so commanders kept using them, unaware their adversaries have come up with a counter.

    The Umayyads charging their cavalry straight into spearmen from the front? Wasn't this strategy demonstrated to be a bad idea since the bronze age? I know it's easy to criticize people but people from the past but honestly, since when has that ever worked?

    • @MDP1702
      @MDP1702 4 года назад +162

      It mostly worked during medieval time with charging heavy cavalry into the enermy breaking them. The shock value was most important. If the enemies didn't break and routed, the cavalry didn't really have an advantage, but if the line broke under the charge, as often happened with a heavy cavalry charge in (european) medieval times, you would limit your own casualties by a lot and have the chance to destroy your enemy nearly completely.
      Considering this and Marwan's trust in his great cavalry advantage, a frontal cavalry charge isn't that weird. What is weird is that it didn't immediately got supported by infantry following the charge and that no cavalry was kept back to protect the flanks or outflank the enemy.
      Honestly this actually should have been an "easy" battle to win if the accounts of numbers we have now are correct. The Umayyad infantry didn't even engage before fleeing.

    • @theblackswordsman9951
      @theblackswordsman9951 4 года назад +44

      Depends on the spearmen. Effective long pikes and halberds weren't in wide use as anti-cavalry yet especially not in the Islamic world at this point. Phalanx units had been replaced by mass cavalry and mixed infantry for a long time. A cavalry charge of that size could ruin an army from the fear alone. He said they had to train to counter this effectively. Without that training i doubt they would have lasted the initial charge.

      Those ain't your lightly armored cavalrymen whose job is to harass skirmishers. Those are heavily armored cataphracts, the tanks of the antiquity/medieval period, with the horses armored so heavily that most spears cannot easily pierce their shell. The sheer weight hitting the receiving troops is usually more than enough to completely break unit cohesion and force a rout as everyone panics from the horses in their midst.
