I reckon that Alexander the Great never lost a battle.

Maybe Philip II (Philip Augustus) but I'm not sure.

Not entirely untrained since their first encounter. You're also not giving credit to the few nobles that helped him.

He did lose a few for realz IIRC.

Khalid ibn al-Walid

He won like over a 100 battles and was largely responsible for the Islamic conquest of Byzantium and Persia.

It's funny because he actually defeated Muhammad himself in battle at Uhud before later converting to Islam.

It was left to Lewenhaupt and Armfelt who barely got along.
Karl got left with the baggage train away from the battle due to still recovering from a bullet wound to the foot from some time before
