Knowing nothing about the main Islamic forces hidden behind the hillocks, Kitbuqa cast a glance at the army forefront which was visible to him, and found it very small in comparison with his forces. However, it was well-arranged and looked awesome. Kitbuqa then wanted to settle the battle in favor of him from the first moment. For this reason, he wanted to enter the valley with all his army and all the forces to fight the Muslim army forefront.

That was indeed what King Al-Muthaffar Qutuz, May Allaah Have mercy upon him, planned for. Kitbuqa, the Tatar leader, gave the start signal to his forces.
The horrendous groups of the Tatars swarmed, while making their fearful cries, upon the Muslim army forefront.
Great multitudes of horsemen started to cover the land towards the Islamic forces.

On the other side, Baybars, the experienced leader, was standing in wonderful poise; and the Muslim heroes of his forces were standing in firmness, and Allaah, the Almighty, had bestowed on them tranquility and reassurance, as if they were not seeing the Tatar troops.
When the groups of the Tatars became very close, Baybars gave the start signal to his soldiers, who rushed, very bravely, towards the Tatar army. We should not forget that the Islamic army forefront was very small in number compared with the Tatar army.
