March 1250 CE

Ships are transported overland and dropped in the Nile (in Bahr al-Mahala) behind the ships of the crusaders cutting the reinforcement line from Damietta and besieging the crusade force of King Louis IX.

The Egyptians use Greek fire and destroy and seize many ships and supply vessels.

Soon, the besieged crusaders are suffering from devastating attacks, famine and disease.

Some crusaders lose faith and desert to the Muslim side.
