The battle against Odo of Aquitaine leading the Franks is about to start, they are already prepared to wipe the Berbers out of existence so the Abd ar Rahman must hurry and build up his cavalry as soon as possible, if they take too long, the French forces will become too numerous and hard to break as their armor and firepower is one of the toughest in Europe. The Frankish cities are divided in two, and the two crossings of the river are blocked by the Frankish army with two fortified outposts, the Frankish army depends mostly of the well fortified city of Bordeaux at the West for support & supplies and the Aquitanian villages near the center of the region for additional resources, if these locations are raided, the Frankish army will be in trouble as their forces will be weakened and they will have no where to escape, but the Berbers must be aware that the French will rather die than surrender and that can be a dangerous factor for the Berbers. The first task will be to raid the Frankish Aquitanian villages around the countryside as they are sending important resources and supplies to the city of Bordeaux and the Frankish army, the villages are guarded by an army of French Paladins which must be avoided at all costs as the Berbers aren't ready yet to take on the heavily armored Frankish cavalry. Once the Frankish villages are destroyed their people will run away back to Bordeaux where they will be besieged and conquered all together, the battle could become impossible to win if the Berbers take the defensive side for too long, the French have huge stockpiles of resources saved in their towns so they won't stop sending troops to counter-attack the Berbers. After and if the battle is won, the next objective will be the French city of Tours which is guarded by a statesman called Charles Martel or "Charles the Hammer", he should not be a big deal for the Berbers...
