Visualizing the Scale
"How is that?" Faruq asked after finishing his war strategy.
And as the most senior of the group, Lord Nibraz felt it was his right to comment first.
And he commented positively, saying, "It is a good plan. Pin down the flanks using the camel archers, and then destroy the center using the chariots. Haha, good and simple, I like it. I like it very much."
He found the plan especially attractive because it gave him the chance to use his chariots in the initial charge.
And in that way not only would he get to destroy his son's murderer, but he would also get to demonstrate to these youngsters the virtues of the chariot.
Hence the enthusiasm.
The other nobles too did not have a problem with this plan, and hence soon the final commanders for the battle were chosen.
Naturally, Faruq was chosen to lead the center, consisting of 30,000 infantry.
