The Democratic Caliphate.

So, as soon as I get enough troops, I too will have a lot of money. I'm planning on raising a private army to take Constantinople by myself.

Good luck with your single city with food shortage. Even though I support your idea!

I would help you, but Al-Zanj is more desperate for help now then you.
 
Indeed I am, but i'll get a lot of money soon, through corruption the silver mine that my workers will build.

It's a long term goal. Right now, I'm trying to improve my city. Because of this goal. I really hope Sanquiv doesn't go through with the switching positions idea.

I would like to propose in the next council that we reform the Shura to make it more efficient. Let us brainstorm in the meantime of what we could do.
 


A herd of Ghulam warriors on horseback treaded across the deserts of Iraq, reaching as far as Anatolia through their knowledge of the mountainous terrain. They brought in all the sounds of war: hooves treading on ground, the banging of drums and the clinging of armour from movement. Many people fled their homes and into the cities to participate in the defence of our nation.

Upon being notified of this large army, the Caliph departed from Makkah to a caravan going to Babil, the capital of Dar al-Iraq. He hoped that there would be some reconciliation.



A messenger from the Seljuks came to the Caliph and stated, "Give the Ummah to the rightful successor of the Messenger, Alp Arslan, or prepare to fight us."

"Have we wronged you in any way? Is there anything that can be done so that we do not resort to fighting each other?"

"Make up your mind by the dawn after tomorrow, or you will meet us in the battlefield."

The Caliph, knowing now that there is no way out of the war, ensured the messenger, "You have done what has been asked of you. You may leave, now."

That dawn, the war officially begun. Huge hordes can be seen from the distance as one looks over the walls of Babil, Ninawa and Anqarah:






Defence of Iraq, Summer Week 1 1069 A.D:

Without the defence of the mountains, the Ghulam warriors had to improvise set up a large expeditionary encampment in the plains between the two major cities in Iraq, after raiding and plundering the people in that region. Confident that the city of Babil would be easy for the picking, an army of horsemen assaulted the city walls, hoping to provoke terror into the hearts of the people.

It turned out to be a major failure for the Seljuks, who underestimated the city's fortifications. They were forced to return, battered and bruised:


Defence of Iraq, Summer Week 2-5 1069 A.D:

That initial assault proved to be devastating to the Seljuk army, so they remained at their encampment to improvise and build the siege necessary to take over the city. However, they were not given the luxury to plan.

Every single hour, a raid was undertaken by the military forces stationed in Iraq, hailing from Arabia, Syria, Egypt and Anatolia. Improvised fortifications were made along the rivers to prevent any trade or resources from being delivered to the encampment, and fast archers on horseback slowly and surely dwindled the morale and the resources of the Seljuks in Iraq.

The Seljuks, realizing that they are limited in options, commenced in one final assault of Babil, which failed miserably:




The invaders became limited in men, and a final assault by foot soldiers eliminated the Seljuk in Iraq for now, and looted the encampment, taking various equipment and battle plans.


Coming soon, the defence of Anadol. Will the province be saved from the mighty horde? In sha Allah:
