CHRISTIANS AND SARACENS

Christians and Saracens Game CHRISTIANS AND SARACENS GAME



Saladin's army was facing the Tower of David and the Damascus Gate. His archers continually pelted the ramparts with arrows. Siege engines were rolled up to the walls, but were pushed back each time. For days, skirmishes were fought with little result. On September 26, 1187 Saladin moved his camp to a different part of the city, on the Mount of Olives where there was no major gate from which the crusaders could counter-attack. The walls were constantly pounded by the siege engines, catapults, mangonels, petraries, Greek fire, crossbows, and arrows. A portion of the wall was mined, and it collapsed on September 29. The crusaders were unable to push Saladin's troops back from the breach, but at the same time the Saracens could not gain entrance to the city. The Saracens far outnumbered the crusaders, and soon there were only a few dozen men capable of bearing arms and defending the wall.
