Ottoman Empire 389 calm and composure while his mental balance also. Bayazid had not only lost his temper but Bayazid had the information that Timur had with him 5 hundred thousand selected soldiers. Bayazid was in great haste to avenge the blood of his son and so he took with him as many soldiers as he could and marched to Sivas where his son was buried alive and where his enemy was lying with his troops. Being informed that Bayazid was on way to Sivas with lightening speed, Timur played a trick and left Sivas at a time when he was sure that Bayazid could not change his route and shifted to Ankara and besieged it. When Bayazid arrived in Sivas, the sight of his son's burial ground turned him mad with anger and when he came to know that Timur had shifted to Ankara, which lay in the heart of Asia Minor, he could not put up with the loss of a moment to have his revenge. Had he practiced caution he would have first sent word to the Syrian and Egyptian commanders to make advance towards Timur, and he himself could have made all out efforts to cut all the supply lines of Timur. Moreover, he would have allowed Timur to move towards the western cities even at the cost of their destruction for those cities were thickly inhabited by Turks, the staunch supporters of the Ottoman Empire and could then target Timur on all sides. Thus, Timur could easily be surrounded and caught. But Timur expected no such acute sense of wisdom from Bayazid and he proved perfectly correct. Bayazid, in his fit of burning anger, rushed to Ankara with such a rage and speed that, out of 4 hundred thousand troops he could only arrive with one hundred and twenty thousand at the break neck speed he was traveling at and due to their continuous movement they were completely exhausted. It was a blunder that Bayazid committed and he had to pay dearly for it. At the time when Bayazid reached near Ankara with his extremely tired army, Timur was there with his troops physically fresh and ready to combat his enemy. Besides, Timur had encamped at a place strategically very important and advantageous and he had dug trenches at various spots. Bayazid came and, in order to show disrespect to Timor s military strength, led his troops to a high hilly spot to hunt wild animals. Thus, the exhausted army, instead of taking sometime to rest and regain
390 The History of Islam freshness they were overtaken by more exhaustion. In addition, the soldiers had to go without water with the result that about five thousand soldiers died of thirst and the rest became disillusioned at his whimsical behavior. On his return, Bayazid found that his camp had already been captured by the enemy who had also turned the coarse of the stream that was to provide water for the Turkish soldiers. Now the military acumen of Timur and his strategies had already won the battle. Bayazid was left with no choice but to lead his thirsty and extremely exhausted soldiers against an enemy much superior in number, strength, strategy, spirit and freshness. The Battle of Ankara On Dhul Hijjah 19, 804 A.H. (July 20, 1402 A.C.) battle lines were drawn between Bayazid and Timur and troops from both sides came out to measure swords and the battle came to its logical end by sunset. Bayazid had to combat against five to eight hundred thousand fresh troops of Timur with his one hundred and twenty thousand exhausted and disillusioned soldiers. Besides, as was expected, the Mongol section deserted Bayazid during the fight and the Christian commanders showed weakness and timidity and turned the whole event into a disaster for the Ottomans. However, the principal reason behind this smashing defeat was Bayazid 's shortsightedness and indiscretion. His idiocies and wild zealotry could not bring him anything else. Timur, on the other hand, showed patience, farsightedness, military acumen and strategy of the highest order at every step. However, the backbreaking defeat of Bayazid caused immense and immeasurable loss to the world of Islam and Europe, which could easily have become a Muslim land but because of the defeat of Bayazid slipped into Christian hands. Amir Timur had his battle-line as follows: Prince Mirza Shah Rukh was put as commanding officer of the right wing which had forces commanded by Khalil Sultan-Sulaiman Shah, Rustam Birlas Sonjak Bahadur, Musa, Tawi Bugha, Amir Yadgar etc. Mirza Sultan Husain was heading a strong force to reinforce the right wing.
