During the battle it happened that Tirant came upon the King of
Tremicen, and gave him such a blow to the head with his sword,
that he knocked the king to the ground. And if it had not been
for the king's good helmet, he would have been dead. Tirant went
on ahead, and the Moors picked up their king and lay him over a
horse, taking him quickly back to the city.
When the battle had gone on for a long while, the Moors could not
stand up against the Christians, and they had to turn and flee.
When Tirant saw the Moors running away, he cried:
"The time has come, good knights, the day is ours! Kill them
all!"
They rushed after the Moors who were trying to take refuge inside
the city. But with all their efforts, the Moors could not avoid
the deaths of more than forty thousand of their men that day.
With the battle won, Tirant immediately had a galley armed in the
port of One, and he entrusted a knight named Espercius as its
captain. This man was a native of Tremicen, and a good
Christian.
