As the army left Bostra for home, Baldwin III refused to escape himself with the Cross, leaving the army in mortal peril, showing his character. The hardships of this journey were doubled, as there was now no hope of success. Mu'in al-Din Anar summoned Nur al-Din to help him attack them. Orders were given to carry all Christian dead and wounded with them, puzzling the Turks as to why, for all their efforts, no corpses were found. The enemy then burned bushes upwind of Baldwin's army. As the smoke and flame approached, the people begged Robert, bishop of Nazareth, for help: he raised the Cross and prayed, and at once the wind blew back towards the enemy. But as enemy attacks continued, Latin leaders realised that the army's endurance was at an end. Baldwin was persuaded to seek a truce from Anar at almost any price, provided the army escaped. He sent as envoy a Turkish speaker suspected of treachery on a previous mission. He claimed innocence, swearing that if guilty of the charges he should perish by a Turkish sword without returning; he condemned himself to death, for he was soon killed. Four Arab chieftains were prominent among the enemy, at first safe from retaliation becuse the Latins were absolutely forbidden from breaking ranks. But a Turk in the service of Altuntash knew no French and was ignorant of the rules. He rushed forward in grave danger, killed one of the chieftains and returned safely, breaking the enemy line on that side. The whole army wondered who he was: when they found he was a foreigner, they could praise him without punishing him. Baldwin refused an invitation from Anar to a meal at the dangerous defile of Cavea Roob, and from there the army was led by a mysterious guide, who reduced the journey time. They were soon home, able to rest. Baldwin restored the Cross to Jerusalem amid great joy
