How Frederick Barbarossa CRUSHED 40,000 Turks in Just One Day | Battle Of Iconium

The Sultan thought a marching column would be easy prey—then Frederick Barbarossa turned the road to Iconium into a killing ground. At dawn his ~10,000 Germans tightened ranks, screened by crossbowmen and spear blocks, while heavy cavalry formed for the hit. When the Turkish field force pressed in with arrows and swirling horsemen, Barbarossa split the army on the fly: cavalry punched straight through the center to shatter the field army, while infantry and engineers drove on the gates. Banners fell, the line buckled, and the city’s defenders were slammed from front and flank—ladders up, bolts and rams working as the horse crashed past the outer screen. By afternoon the town was taken, the wells and stores seized, and the road east blown open. One day, one ruthless plan: pin with foot, smash with mail and lance, and keep moving. That’s how Barbarossa’s Third Crusade column cut through “40,000 Turks”—breaking the field army outside and taking Iconium before sunset. 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the bell 🔔 so you never miss the craziest secrets of history! medieval history, military history, history, curiosities, rome, greece, egypthistory facts,historical mysteries,ancient history,historical curiosities,history channel,history secrets,historical events, trivia,history trivia,world history,history discoveries,strange history,weird history,forgotten history,mysterious events,ancient civilizations,historical stories,history education,famous mysteries,bizarre history
