the  plan was  to  use  syrians  against  them, shamasdin was  their  pawn, the  war  was  begun, both  sides  faced  each  other, the  battle  began, but  the  syrian  forces  and  the  christian alies  ran  away  towards  salahaldin for  shelter, who  declared  them their  deadliest  enemy, eight thousand  of  them were  killed  on the  field  and  the  rest  were  captured
