The massive Roman field army blocks the only crossing of the Orontes River, leading to the brutal, claustrophobic Battle of the Iron Bridge. Witness how Supreme Commander Abu Ubaidah, the fierce shock-commander Dirar, and the undefeated Sword of Allah, Khalid ibn al-Walid, violently dismantle the last imperial defenses. Following the fall of the grand capital of Antioch and the securing of the Anatolian borders at Marash, a terrifying new threat emerges from the east. A massive coalition of Jaziran tribes launches a surprise invasion, trapping the Muslim high command at Emesa. Discover the brilliant grand strategy deployed by Caliph Umer to crush the invasion and secure the province once and for all. The military chessboard is cleared, but the spiritual heart of the world, Jerusalem, awaits. 📺 WATCH SEASON 2 PREVIOUS EPISODES: S2E1 - S2E7 (Compilation): [   • Khalid ibn al-Walid Epic Conquest of Roman...  ] S2E8 - S2E15 (Compilation): [   • How Khalid ibn al-Walid Defeated the Easte...  ] S2E16 (The Battle of Yarmouk - Mega Episode): [   • Battle of Yarmouk - When Rome Send Everyth...  ] S2E17 (Aftermath of Yarmouk): [   • How Khalid ibn al-Walid Destroyed the Last...  ] 📺 WATCH SEASON 1 (The Iraq Campaign): [   • Khalid ibn al-Walid Iraq Campaign (All Bat...  ] #KhalidIbnAlWalid #BattleOfHazir #SiegeOfAleppo #HistoricWarLens #IslamicHistory #RomanEmpire #RashidunCaliphate #SyrianCampaign #AncientHistory #MilitaryStrategy #historymarche Primary Historical Sources: 1) History of the Prophets and Kings (Tarikh al-Tabari) by Al-Tabari 2) Book of the Conquests of Lands (Futuh al-Buldan) by Al-Baladhuri 3) The Islamic Conquest of Syria (Futuh al-Sham) attributed to Al-Waqidi 4) Sirat Rasul Allah by Ibn Ishaq (specifically his transmission of casualty figures) Modern Historical & Tactical Analysis: 1) The Sword of Allah: Khalid bin al-Waleed, His Life and Campaigns by A.I.
