How King Baldwin’s 500 Knights CRUSHED 25000 Islamic Invaders in One Day | Battle Of Ramla

Dawn on the coastal plain near Ramla: dust on the horizon, drums from the road to Ascalon, and a wall of spears rolling toward the kingdom’s heart. King Baldwin I doesn’t wait behind walls—he splits about five hundred armored knights into hard-hitting squadrons and rides straight for the command banners. Lances drop, hooves bite, and the first wedge slams through the Fatimid front before it can finish forming. The second wave hits the flank, the third rips into the rear—standards reel, messengers vanish in the crush, and a bigger army starts fighting three different battles at once.

The field turns into a loop of shock and regroup: charge, break, wheel, charge again. Egyptian infantry bunch around their officers, cavalry tries to counter, but Baldwin’s squadrons keep punching into gaps, peeling units off the main body and trampling the nerve centers that hold an army together. In the orchards and shallow wadis around Ramla, the line finally buckles—shield walls open, mounted pursuers carve through fugitives, and the road back toward Ascalon clogs with abandoned gear and bodies.

By sunset, Ramla still stands, the King’s banner is unshaken, and a force that came to erase a kingdom is in flight. One day. 500 knights. An enemy counted in the tens of thousands learning that shock, timing, and a fearless charge can flip the numbers on their head.
