When 12,000 Mamluks DESTROYED 20,000 Mongols — Ain Jalut (1260)

When 12,000 Mamluks DESTROYED 20,000 Mongols — Ain Jalut (1260) In 1260, at the Spring of Goliath in the Jezreel Valley, the unstoppable Mongol war machine met something it had never faced before: a perfectly executed trap. At the Battle of Battle of Ain Jalut, Sultan Qutuz and his brilliant commander Baybars used the Mongols’ own signature tactic — the feigned retreat — against them. What followed was one of the greatest military reversals in medieval history. For sixty years, the Mongol Empire had crushed everything in its path. Baghdad fell. The Abbasid Caliphate collapsed. Damascus burned. No army had decisively defeated them in open battle. Until Ain Jalut.
