Background

After conquest of Aleppo, Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah sent Malik to southern Turkey to capture Azaz. As soon as Malik bin Ashtar rejoined the army after capturing Azaz, Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah marched westwards to capture Antioch. The army moved via Harim and approached Antioch from the east. Some 12 miles from the city, at Mahruba, where a bridge of iron spanned the River Orontes (now known as Nahur-ul-Asi), the Muslims came up against a powerful Byzantine army - the defenders of Antioch.

The battle

The detail tactics of this battle are not recorded, nor the exact strength of the Byzantine army but it is recorded that with the exception of Ajnadein and Yarmuk, the Roman casualties here are believed to have been the highest in the Syrian Campaign in the Battle of Yarmouk 70,000 Byzantine soldiers died where as in Battle of Ajnadayn 50,000 Byzantine soldiers died from these records it can be estimated that the army size in the Battle of Iron bridge may be between 40,000-50,000 and the casualties may be about 20,000-30,000 because the Byzantine army was soundly thrashed by Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, Khalid ibn Walid who was commanding the cavalry again played a prominent role with his Mobile Guard Cavalry. The remnants of the Roman army went fleeing in disorder to the city. The Muslims moved up and laid siege to Antioch, but not many days had passed before the greatest city of Syria, the capital of the Asian Zone of the Eastern Roman Empire, surrendered to the Muslims. Abu Ubaidah entered Antioch on October 30, 637 (the 5th of Shawwal, 16 Hijri). The defeated Roman soldiers were allowed to depart in peace.

Khalid took his Mobile Guard on a raid eastwards up to the Euphrates in the vicinity of Munbij, but found little opposition. In early January, 638, he rejoined Abu Ubaidah at Aleppo.
