>>1009789
I remember seeing this one on /int/ quite often
The real number of casualties on the left is 8, not 1
Robert Monro, once the right hand man of Gustavus Adolphus, Hero of the Siege of Stralsund, great victory of the Battle of Breitenfeld, legendary throughout Europe for his strategic prowess.
He charged his cavalry straight into a pike formation.
He got defeated so hard it ended his career, he got imprisoned in the tower of london, literally got cucked, and had to marry a 75 year old woman just so he could share her cottage.

>ordered the ships actually carrying all the guns and ammunition to head back to Spain
>landed in the part of Ireland under English control
>with no weapons
>lost half his men
>divided his already weakened force into two
>didn't order either force to fortify their position, got rekt by artillery
>Irish had to waste valuable time and manpower coming to rescue them
and if that wasn't enough
>Irish plan to attack the English force at night and basically annihilate them from behind
>del Aguila starts arguing with the Irish commanders, says he should be leading it
>English scouts overhear him
>English camp roused
>attack failed
Serves them right for trusting the Eternal Dago
>>1009498
>What kind of victory do you want, Imperator?

>>1009789
something more insulting about having lost only 1 guy as compared to none.
>>1010140
Imagine being that guy though, you'd feel like an idiot.
I mean I suppose you wouldn't feel anything, but you know what I mean.
>>1009542

>>1009789
>Montfort divided his army into three squadrons, and then led them across the Garonne to meet the Aragonese forces. Peter's ally and brother-in-law, Count Raymond, advised a defensive posture in order to weaken the advancing enemy with bowshot and javelins. Peter rejected this suggestion as unknightly and dishonorable.
>King Peter rode to the front line, forsaking his royal armour for the plain armour of a common soldier. His army was disorderly and confused. When Montfort's first squadron charged the field, the Aragonese cavalry was crushed and Peter himself was unhorsed.
>He cried out, "I am the king!" but was killed regardless. With the realization that their king had been killed, the Aragonese forces broke in panic and fled, pursued by Montfort's Crusaders

>they buy all they had and bring it back to camp
>some infantrymen come over and ask for some
>hussars tell them to fuck off and in a drunken stupor they start making fortifications out of barrels and crates

Romans just invaded Spain after that and did some fancy guerrilla warfare (Fabian strategy, named after Fabius Maximus, the guy who conducted the war for the Romans).
