00:00How do you capture a massive fortress without a single soldier laying a hand on its walls?
00:04The legendary general Amru bin Ash didn't need a million swords.
00:08He brought a storm to his enemy's mind.
00:11Standing before the mighty gates of a Roman fortress in Egypt, his army was vastly outnumbered.
00:16But every night, Amru commanded his men to light thousands of torches and shout battle cries that shook the very
00:22ground.
00:22Behind the stone walls, fear began to fester.
00:25The defenders, seeing the endless sea of lights and hearing the deafening roars, imagined an unstoppable phantom army gathering in
00:32the dark.
00:33Their courage crumbled.
00:34When the fortress finally surrendered, the defenders were stunned.
00:38The terrifying horde they had imagined was just a small, determined band of soldiers.
00:43Amru bin Ash proved a timeless lesson.
00:45A sword can be dodged, but a mind shattered by fear cannot fight back.
