Conquest of Egypt - Battle of Alexandria - Amr bin Al-Aas
The Muslims, led by Amr ibn al-Aas, succeeded in controlling the fortress of Babylon and annexed all the lands east of the Nile River...
But despite the peace treaty with Al-Muqawqis...
Heraclius refused to surrender and was determined to fight the Muslims until his last breath...
Amr ibn al-Aas had no choice but to do so.
He only continued to advance to the fort of Alexandria to fight the Romans... but something unexpected happened...
and he was besieged with only 3 men inside one of the forts of Alexandria...
so what happened? How did the shrewd Arabs act in that situation?
