Wolves and Sheeps

"It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep be."

-        Publius Vergilius Maro, Virgil

In the long wait the cavalries, especially the Mamluks, being eager for battle they grew increasingly impatient appealing to the admiral again and again seeking approval to have a pre emptive strike hitting the seemingly poorly defended Ottoman encampments with fire, just like how they treated them a week ago. 

But being extremely cautious as always Antonius told them that according to his understanding on the Ottomans and the war tactics of their chieftain Candarli Halil, he will not leave a hole for his enemies to exploit to easily. The Ottomans must be using there seemingly weakly defended camps as a bait to lure the enemy calvaries out, and there must be an ambush near by that will try to eliminate them before they are even able to touch the fences of the Ottoman encampments.
