In 17 99, the british navy landed an ottoman army at alexandria and easily established a beach head. On july 20, fifth, bonaparte arrived with about seven thousand infantry and a thousand cavalry to counter them. They broke through the first ottoman line before it had a chance to fully form. The french cavalry general joiqui mura, identified a weak point on the ottoman flank,. turned it and charged in behind them. Mira charged so fast that he broke into the tent of the ottomans high command and personally captured the ottomon commander in chief. But mira will live, as we'll see.
