Baybars led the vanguard into the valley, feigning retreat to draw the impetuous Kitbuqa deep into the hills. Hidden in the surrounding wooded heights, Qutuz deployed the main army. When the Mongol assault nearly shattered the Mamluk left wing, Sultan Qutuz threw his helmet to the ground, crying out his immortal rally: 'Wa Islamah! O Allah, grant victory to your servant Qutuz against the Tatars!' He charged personally, encircling and destroying the Mongol force.
