[3][4] The Mongol forces encountered the Muslims at Homs, near the tomb of the Arab commander, Khalid ibn al-Walid.

The Mongols formed eight formations with a force of 1,000 men at front, while the rest arranged behind it.

The Muslims were divided into three groups: the center led by Al-Ashraf, the right under Al-Mansur, and the left under the Emirs of Aleppo.

[5] Little is known about the battle, although Muslim sources state that fog and heat strained the Mongols.

In the end, the Muslim coalition emerged victorious in the battle, and the Bedouin leader, Zamil bin Ali, attacked the Mongols from the rear, contributing to the Mongol defeat.
