Breakthrough

"The art of concentrating strength at one point, forcing a breakthrough, rolling up and securing the flanks on either side, and then penetrating like lightning, before the enemy has time to react, deep into his rear." 

-        Erwin Rommel's comment on Blitzkrieg, quoted by Gordon Alexander Craig

The pursuit continued for a whole day, the cavalry force of the Mamluks, Khalid and Abraham have chased all the way as a spear head deep in to unfamiliar territory with their infantry counter parts still dragged behind collecting prisoners of war left on the road escorting them back as captives. The Ottomans have already drained all of their stamina and strength, only running burning their body from the desire to live, despite the fact that they have not consumed any food or drank any water for the past whole day. 

During the day the Ottomans cannot stop to have a sip of water, as there are always people behind pushing him and thus, he has to continue running.
