"Move the grain and livestock into the city!

Residents enter the city and martial law is declared!

Soldiers who don't have patrol tasks come with me right away! ”

Yathrib, which had only been quiet for two years, or which had been converted to Medina-Nabi, was once again in flames of war.

Here, the Crescent Priests established their first regime here, and thanks to the power of ****, they can not only concentrate enough forces to do the important problems they need to solve, but also allow the majority of the people who believe in the Crescent Religion to maintain a high degree of unity.

However, war can never be avoided, especially among the former Quraish nobles.

The Crescent Religion could not be accepted by them: the primitive belief in polytheism brought many people to the audience, and one of the most important dependents of their wealth was the wealth of these believers.

Without wealth, they would not be able to survive in this desert.

Moreover, they had two wars with the Crescent Priests, but the results were not very good. 、

For the first time, Quraish's caravan was attacked, and then the thousand reinforcements they sent were defeated by them, and Abu Zahr was also killed by them.

If the first time was a fluke, then the second time is not so simple.

The crescent men, high morale, defeated the 3,000 men led by Abu Sufyan, and although the cavalry of Mecca took advantage of their revelry to storm the camp and wound Muhammad, he was demoralized and unable to estimate the number of soldiers in Medina, so he had no choice but to retreat again.

The nobles of the Quraish did not think that repeated defeats would be too damaging to these crescent believers, so it took them two years to mobilize the surrounding tribes, and even hire a mercenary army, totaling more than 10,000 men, to attack Medina.

The Crescent priests of Medina were mobilized at once, but for a short time they could not gather the number they should have, and those who had gone to do business and contact with other tribes had not yet returned.

The Ottomans hurriedly surveyed their surroundings, but the enemy had not yet approached, but the spies had already probed back and forth seven or eight times, and he conservatively estimated that there were at least eight thousand men, and that they were aided by professional light cavalry.

The enemy is coming.

"I've brought one hundred and twenty-six people here, and they're pretty well equipped!

How many of you have on hand now? ”

Abu Bakr gathered together his contingent in the northern part of the city, which was a considerable small force for the whole of Medina. But for the opponent's army of 10,000 people, this is just a drop in the bucket.

"Two thousand and ninety-six, and only a few horses."

"Trouble ......"

How is this battle going to be fought? , the second battle of Wu Houde was already a remnant victory, and the opponent's 3,000 people were already like this, so now, there are about 10,000 enemy battles...

"Quick! Bring in all the livestock! ”

Umar himself brought his slaves and guards into the city, bringing his cattle, sheep and camels, and when he made sure that there was nothing left outside the city, he set a fire and burned all the trees and houses, and then sealed the well with stones, turning the city into an open field.

The city of Medina, which had no walls to hold onto, was in a desperate situation, and the Crescent Priests could almost be said to be surrounded inside the city.

"I have a hundred more people here, but no more than two hundred, and I guess the others are too.

We have a maximum of 3,000 men to command, and they are not very strong elite soldiers, and the only thing that can support us is courage. ”

When he climbed the city wall, his first sentence was an analysis of the situation, and his expression was not very optimistic.

The battle is likely to turn into a long siege, and, when the walls fall, there will be street fighting, and even if the battle can continue, both sides will only be in a lose-lose situation.

"Lord Sadiq, Lord Berkel, Lord Afan, the Prophet invites you to come over."

A herald arrived and delivered the news to the trio, who immediately went down to the city to prepare for a meeting on the defense.

The generals and nobles gathered at the meeting, discussing how to defend themselves against the attacks of their opponents, had made up their minds to fight the enemy to the death in Medina, but the conclusions and methods they had reached were overturned one by one, and it seemed that only blood and corpses could defend the city of the prophets.

"I'm against going out of the city to attack, and now we can organize less than fifty cavalrymen, and at most let them be used as supporting fire brigades. If they leave the city, these cavalrymen will only go to their deaths! ”

'Umar knew very well that this was death, and fifty light cavalry, even if Allah blessed, would never be able to defeat ten thousand. Even if the other side has a thousand cavalry, it is enough for these fifty people to come and go.

But the young man didn't think so, he was a little abrupt among them, but in order to protect the Prophet, he preferred to lie on the Prophet's bed and try to fool the Assassin.

"But that's what you think, we can use that thinking to attack!

Courage will lead us to attack, and at the very least, we should be able to kill hundreds of each other before we die! ”

Ali ibn Abi Talib was forever full of his bravery, but in a sense he lacked strategy and foresight, which it was too difficult for a young man to do.

"Don't risk your brother's life, Ali!

It's not something you can do as a hero! ”

The two argued over the issue, but were eventually stopped by the Prophet, who clarified the situation and dissuaded Ali's somewhat reckless thoughts.

The crowd returned to the subject, but while they were deliberating on what to do, one of the believers stood up.

"Prophet, I have something to say."

"What's your name?"

Abu was not very pleased with the fact that the other man could interrupt while the Prophet was speaking, but out of politeness and his conduct, he did not have an attack.

"Saleman Fars, from Persia, Honorable Lord Sadiq."

"Do you have any ideas for coping?"

"Yes."

There was a lot of talk, but the Prophet calmed them down and asked the new Companion to state his point.

Because everyone has the right to speak.

"My brothers, look over here."

He pointed out the topography of the Medina, where the city is located in a valley and there are not many roads to get around, and the only avenue leads to the south. If the Meccans attacked, they would have penetrated from the south, and of course, they would have attacked from other places, but the main force would have come from the south.

Well, as long as most of the troops stay here and block the enemy's attack, it's fine.

"However, here we do not have walls, we have only a large number of infantry in our hands, and there are no spears."

A brief glance at what he said about Abu made him intrigued, but it was only limited to this, there was no wall to defend it, and it was the only plain pass to enter, where the infantry lined up, only to die.

Besides, there are 10,000 people on the other side.

"So, Lord Sadiq, we can think differently."

"Oh?"

Fars of Persia took out a piece of charcoal and gently drew a long curve over the pass and the surrounding hills.

"Prophet, since we cannot build a city, let us build a ditch.

When we were in Persia, when we were invaded, we would dig a trench to protect us. ”

Everyone immediately discussed that this was indeed a good approach, but whether it was too late.

But this was the safest way to go, and soon the Prophet and the disciples agreed to this opinion, and the soldiers and civilians were mobilized to dig trenches along Medina.

However, it is not only Allah and the people who help them.
