The battle description in this video is fake and alot exagerated to the Marrocan side, the marrocan army were a precarious tribal army focused on their large numbers to try to fight back the portuguese, search for this battle on youtube there are better videos about it, the Marrocan tribal cavalry were no match for the portuguese elite heavy cavalry and same story on the infantry side
