The Don Alejo story brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Guy was a man among men that stood up to pure evil and defended what rightly belonged to him and his family. He did not go peacefully, I'm sure it was painful, but it was an end one can only call glorious.
My own great grandfather had a crazy stand "last stand" but wasn't his last. Fighting in WW2 on the Italian front he was the Bren gunner and was shot multiple times in the shoulder, legs and had one ear blown off. His ammo man ran away since his platoon was being overrun but he refused to leave as he was the cover fire that served as their last chance to stand ground and proceeded to load his own machine gun while laying down fire and eventually against all odds they managed to win the battle. When he made it back home he couldn't lift his left arm much at all and had troubles walking but even so took after my grandfather and great grandmother until he died at around 70. Thanks for reading the story of the badass Norman Poitras
Thats sick, props to ur great grandfather for showing braveness infront of death and surviving it while, continuing to take care of your grandfather and great grandmother
"Hard times make strong men, strong men make easy times, easy times make weak men, weak men make hard times. Cycle repeats. Men like your Great Grandfather suffered some hard times, but made easy times for us.
The sick thing about the Viking was that his last stand was recorded by the English (the ones he fought against) so they don’t really have a motive to lie about his heroics
"Even though we ended up winning this battle pretty handily, we still have to give props to this one dude who held that bridge with nothing but an axe and his manhood."
They even admitted to having to use tricks to kill him, no tall tales about how the king himself stepped onto the bridge and killed him with one hand behind his back after taking a dozen arrows to the chest. Like the usual propaganda you'd see.
A part of the original record says "Then an Englishman aimed at him with a javelin, but it availed nothing" Which, implies that he got hit by a Javelin and then carried on murdering (Because if he missed, why not just throw another one?)
Roy Benavidez was called a "dumb Mexican" as a child, for his mixed heritage, his father was a Mexican farmer and his mother was Yaqui, though they lived in DeWitte, Texas. The harassment led to Roy getting into many fights as a child. Some of the things left out of his stand; when the call came from the SOG team for help, Benavidez just jumped onto the helicopter without thinking. All he brought with him was a Bowie knife and a first aid kit. A NVA Regular clubbed Roy in the back of the head and stabbed him with a bayonet. In their struggle, Roy produced his Bowie knife and stabbed his enemy in the head. He used so much force that the knife was stuck and couldn't be removed. So, he left it there. Of his many wounds, it included his intestines hanging out of his body. He fought with one hand holding them in. The team he went in to rescue were given all the medical attention they could, under Benavidez's direction. When asked if he was seriously hurt, Benavidez spat, "Hell, no, "I've been hit so many times I don't give a damn no more." When it came time for extraction, two NVA Regulars charged the helicopter from an angle where the door gunners couldn't bring their M60s to bear. Roy picked up a discarded AK-47 and gunned them both down. In the end, Benavidez did not get the Medal of Honor. Instead he got the lower Distinguished Service Cross. His friends clambered to correct this, Congress declared too much time passed from the event, and that needed eyewitnesses to his actions. In 1980, Benavidez's radioman, Brian O'Conner, vacationing in Australia, saw a news report on TV about Benavidez. O'Conner, severely wounded in the same battle, and thought to have died, wrote a ten-page report about Benavidez's actions and submitted it. With his testimony, the Review Board upgraded the Distinguished Service Cross to the Medal of Honor. In addition to the Pale Blue Ribbon, Benavidez earned in his military career: 5 Purple Hearts Defense Meritorious Service Medal Meritorious Service Medal Army Commendation Medal Army Achievement Medal Good Conduct Medal with two silver loops Army of Occupation Medal National Defense Service Medal with oak leaf cluster Army Overseas Service Medal Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal Vietnam Service Medal with four campaign stars Vietnam Campaign Medal NCO Professional Development Ribbon United Nations Korea Medal Presidential Unit Citation with two oak leaf clusters Meritorious Unit Commendation Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm Republic of Vietnam Civil Actions Medal Unit Commendation Vietnam Parachutist Badge Texas Legislative Medal of Honor Combat Infantry Badge Master Parachutist Badge Army Special Forces Tab Not bad for a "dumb Mexican."

You hear people say "80's action movies are unrealistic", but then you hear stories of Vito Bertoldo and Roy Benevidez. Nah fam, those movies downplayed how badass someone can be.
@Randomperson-yr3gp yup. Hacksaw Ridge. His story is even more insane, than the movie, btw. Movie was condensed and had to either merge different things into one or just didn't include some. I don't remember, if movie showed, how he had massive rope burns on his hands because he manually lowered dozen wounded soldiers from the cliff they were on in the basket, while being heavily wounded himself. Dude was shot, grenade blew up near him, shredding his foot to pieces, Japanese were intentionally breaking Geneva convention and were targeting medics, so bullets were flying all around him, some into him, and he still saved dozens of people. Some even Japanese, he didn't discriminate in who he was saving. That movie looks like unrealistic fantasy, and if someone doesn't know the real story may even think, he's too idealized, while in reality no, he's made more flawed, than he really was. Movie showed that he had some abuse from his family, while in reality he lived pretty happy life. He was mocked more severaly for his vegetarianism and faith, than what movie shows. Same with his rejection of weapon. It was a serious issue for his officers, because even medics had to carry a sidearm. He didn't want to amd rejected it. So to think thag already unbelievable movie downplayed some of the most unbelievable parts of his story is crazy. It's like in Sabaton's "Great War" song. Yes, war is arguably one of the biggest evils of humanity, but "though men are falling we see heroes rise". And those heroes live more mythical lives than legendary heroes from ancient myths. Btw, Sabaton is great in telling some of those truly unbelievable stories. And to think how many more of those stories were lost to time...
Erm akschually 🤓 They are still unrealistic, because not everyone can be as lucky as the legends shown in the video. In real life, you are far more likely to run into smarter enemies who'll try and expose their troops as little as possible, using LOTS of artillery to either break the will to fight or eliminate any potential badasses like these.

Roy Benavides was originally denied the MoH several times. This was because in the submission they stated that his actions took place in Laos. At the time, the US still denied having done any operations in Laos. Once they changed the report to just say "West of Loc Binh" he was awarded the medal almost immediately.

@@Trazyn_thecollector-rr There's a foe of a thousand swords They've been abandoned by their lords Their fall from grace will pave their path to damnation
Roy Benavides also forgot to grab his gun when he hopped on the helicopter. He realized on the way there and had to pick up an NVA weapon. Dude is the main character
One thing about roy’s story, the mine he stepped on was defective. The top of the mine, instead of fragmenting like a mine normally would, detached as a whole piece and smacked roy straight in the ass. It broke multiple vertebrae and concussed him so badly he for a time lost the ability to perform basic tasks. On top of him pushing himself to walk again. This man walked off a sonic boot to his ass
The fact that you start the video with Don Alejo’s last stand is incredible, it gets over looked because of the circumstances and how recent it was but my god what an incredible last stand from a righteous man
Sgt. Benividez is the kind if man that tells a war story like it happened yesterday and you don't believe a word of it but you put your hand to your chest and sing the anthem. 🦅🇺🇸

Here's another good story: In 1941 a Soviet cook was waiting for his tank platoon to return but then a group of german panzers arrived. All but one tank kept driving and when he saw the tank he grabbed an axe and starting charging toward the tank. When it started firing it's machine gun he dodged the gunfire and lept on the tank were he then threw a tarp on the top of the tank and another over the co drivers vison port and his apron over the drivers port. Then he started chopping the machine gun until it broke. He then shouted in different pitches to decive the germans leading them to surrender. When they got out, he captured them.
10:40 fun fact he tried to kill his master twice before they became friends he had killed 999 samurai’s and planned for his master to be his 1000th (he had it out for them for some reason)
I believe the legend goes that he wanted to prove he himself was a great samurai. The many other Samurai lords had 1000 somethings. Like 1000 horses, 1000 castles, 1000 servants, 1000 wives and so on. So he wanted to have 1000 swords. To do that he dueled many other samurai to take their swords.
One of my favorite last stands in history was Blackbeard's last stand. Dude was a one man army. After boarding an enemy ship (specifically, one disguised as a trading vessel but filled with soldiers), Blackbeard and his men were outnumbered and outgunned. Yet they drew their weapons and threw hands. Blackbeard got in a 1v1 with the commanding officer, and SHATTERED HIS SWORD with a SINGLE STRIKE OF HIS CUTLASS. He was about to land the finishing blow when someone stabbed him from behind. This, of course, only angered Blackbeard. He killed the guy behind him and kept fighting. He suffered *25* wounds, 5 of which were gunshots, before finally keeling over.
let us not forget Ben Salomon he was a soldier during ww2 on the japanese front at the mariana island. long story short he was tending to his patients when a banzai charge happened, he fought off multiple japanese soldiers who were stabbing his patients. he hopped on a machine gun to cover the retreat of everyone in the medical tent. he was found days later with 24 gunshot wounds and mutilated with bayonets stabs. surrounding the machinegun was 98 dead japanese soldiers. edit: spelling, read your comments before posting them everyone.

0:28 Outsiders take the Cartel problem as similar if not the same as the Gang problem, when its not. The Cartels are part of the organized crime, little armies on their own right, military gear [imported by illegal US dealers], military structure and some even with rodumentary tanks. Los Zetas were some of THE FIRST to become militarized, like in the photo shown, the Cartels, specially the big ones like the CDS (Cartel de Sinaloa [Cartel of Sinaloa]) and CJNG (Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion [New Generation of the Cartel of Jalisco]) are not to be taken as a gang problem, but as a great threat to national security and a massive part of the war on drugs.
the current corruption in mexico is what people think the mob was but forreal and even deadlier. however they are closer to gangs as far as understanding the loyalty that keeps them operating . crime is bred under the same conditions, desperate people, who have mouths to feed, which eventually becomes greed. the systems of corruption can be connected back to spaniards decimating the population and those who survived, inter bred, forced to assimilate, or were corrupt leaders or people who would give goods or intel to colonizers. it’s an ugly system
I don’t think anyone is making honest comparisons, Americas “gang” problem hasn’t been a real thing since the Italian Americans ran organized crime. Gang activity in the US and Mexico is a joke and nobody is concerned with them killing themselves on the streets compared to cartels that cause actual problems and hurt innocent people
los zetas were a Mexican military unit trained by the US special forces before being hired as hit men and eventually becoming a cartel of their own. So some of these cartels are not only militarized, but trained by the best military in the hemisphere. Over time, they’ve broken down and mostly operate as smaller groups these days.
Benkei was actually nuts, he was traveling trying to defeat 1000 men and get their swords. He had 999 swords and his 1000th opponent was Yoshitsune who managed to defeat Benkei, which made him mad for a rematch, which he lost again, then swore loyalty.
FOR THE GRACE, FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD, IN THE NAME OF HIS GLORY, FOR THE FAITH, FOR THE WAY OF THE SOUL, COME AND TELL THEIR STORY AGAIN! let's unite sabaton fans! Whose with me?!
Roy Benavides is a legend and hero not only was he badass but he also stood up to the VA when they tried to pull some bs and the fact that fort liberty is not called fort Benavides insane
0:01 there's a short film about this last stand. The cartel ran away outside of Don Alejo's rifles and used grenade launchers. He died from the grenade shrapnel.
The Viking of the Stamford bridge was supposedly a Berserker, meaning it was very likely that not only was he fighting an army by himself, he also probably did so with no armor and only bear pelts as clothing.

In Switzerland there was also an epic last stand (according to legend) by a Swiss soldier called Arnold von Winkelried. In 1386, the Swiss fought a battle against the Austrians (Battle of Sempach) but could not break through the lines. Von Winkelried decided to open up the Austrian line, charging toward the Austrians by himself and grabbing their lances, impaling himself and taking some down when his body fell to the ground. This opened a small gap, which allowed the Swiss to successfully break up the Austrian line and eventually win the battle.
@ the Austrians outnumbered the Swiss. About 4:1 ((the Austrians had about 4k men (1.5k knight, about the same amount as the entire Swiss army). They lost cause the Swiss had the better position and because the Austrian knights had to dismount, effectively rendering them pretty useless.
@ Is rhat why the Swiss were long considered the best soldiers in Europe? They defeated Austria in every war they fought with each other (decisively). The Swiss invented a weapon for exactly the purpose to deal with knights, so even on horse they could defeat them. So come again with “the Austrians were better soldiers” 😂
The Fat Electrician has a great video on Roy. He was so focused on pulling his men to safety he pulled two of the enemies bodies onto the helicopter. The story around his Medal of Honor is interesting too
9:21 imagine one of those 40 guys who died survived and played a huge role in the battle of Hastings that lead to an English victory imagine how life would've been different now and the English we speak right now wouldn't have been a thing🙂
Great video. In terms of actual people, these are some of the best examples for sure, but in terms of larger scale battles, it's really hard to think of many good ones. I mean, the 300 Spartans is always a perfect example, but definitely overdone. So I will take a moment to waffle about a battle that To me, is the finest example of ''the last stand of a battle that decides the fate between life and complete annihilation'' - Battle of Sardarabad, between Armenia and the Ottoman Empire, in 1918. The details and background are extremely complicated and messy, as this is the Caucasus we're talking about, but basically, Russia had collapsed, Caucasus states regained independence as of the Brest-Litovsk treaty, and the Ottoman Empire was going absolute ham on the young Caucasian nations, which included Armenia, which the Ottomans aimed to erase from the face of earth (as dictated by the Armenian genocide). The nation was practically encircled and the Ottomans were at the doorstep of the capital. Here, the last remaining, outnumbered 10-35 Armenian soldiers, heavily backed by the civilians fleeing the genocide, orchestrated a last ditch effort to save the nation, near the village of Sardarabad. It was practically all or nothing, had the Ottomans won the battle, there would be nothing between them and Yerevan. Whilst initially on the losing end, they managed to retaliate, inflict heavy losses and drive the bastards back as far as the occupied city of Alexandropol. At the end of the battle and the subsequent ones like the battle of Karakilisa, the morale of the far larger and more powerful Ottoman Empire had been so utterly annihilated, that they decided to negotiate peace with the people they wanted to exterminate for good. Really fascinating battle that literally nobody knows about, it's a pity, really.
The 88mm was the main armament of the Tiger-1, BRO WAS GETTING SHELLED BY MULTIPLE TIGER TANKS. DUDE IS AN ABSOLUTE UNIT ON THE FIELD 5:57 Edit: Roy Benavidez, after sustaining a bullet wound to the abdomen and a bayonet wound. His guts literally spilled out of his abdomen.
0:01 Literally same thing happened to a great uncle of mine in Tamaulipas, but instead of them asking, they just killed all his animals (dozens of horses, cattle, goats, etc etc), blew up parts of his property and now keep him in custody :D at least he’s… alive?
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
10:17 Nagikiba does not exist. You are probably refering to Nagakiba, the proper name given to the elden ring nodachi wielded by Yura. But given that your drawing is depicting a polearm and that he's defending a narrow position (a bridge) I'm guessing the actual weapon you are talking about is a naginata.

Netflix has a series called medal of honour. They tell the citation which is the official government document. Good series.
Roy Benavides was originally denied the MoH several times. This was because in the submission they stated that his actions took place in Laos. At the time, the US still denied having done any operations in Laos. Once they changed the report to just say "West of Loc Binh" he was awarded the medal almost immediately.
This is perfect depiction of human adrenaline. It quite literally ignores every pain and everything else just to keep you alive.

Every time i hear "Last stand" i think about the 189 Swiss soldiers that defended the popes retreat in 1527 as they sing about in "The Last Stand" from Sabaton
In the heart of holy see
In the home of Christianity
The seat of power is in danger
@@Trazyn_thecollector-rr There's a foe of a thousand swords

i think of both last stand and shiroyama
I think of Sparta from Sabaton tbh

Then the 189
In the service of heaven
They're protecting the holy line
It was 1527
Roy Benavides also forgot to grab his gun when he hopped on the helicopter. He realized on the way there and had to pick up an NVA weapon. Dude is the main character
One thing about roy’s story, the mine he stepped on was defective. The top of the mine, instead of fragmenting like a mine normally would, detached as a whole piece and smacked roy straight in the ass. It broke multiple vertebrae and concussed him so badly he for a time lost the ability to perform basic tasks. On top of him pushing himself to walk again. This man walked off a sonic boot to his ass
Hardest kick in the ass ever.
The fact that you start the video with Don Alejo’s last stand is incredible, it gets over looked because of the circumstances and how recent it was but my god what an incredible last stand from a righteous man
Nah bro... "Veto was hacking fr"
Dude has God's plan on his side... And he is an absolute Legend
And he lived

As soon as he said "Don Alejo" I knew this was going to be a banger. 🤘🏻

Without even watching a second of the video, mind you I haven’t seen this channel before, I have already subscribed and am so ready to watch this video and hopefully more, I have faith already
the samuri on a bridge, his story is actually so much more interesting than made out to be here. trust me, go watch the video just about him
Yea Benkei was like 6 foot 7 and won 999 duels dudes crazy
I just realised that white beards death in onepiece was based of this
I think this video was summires but I could be wrong
Yeah dude turns out every history here it's more interesting than what he told
@Samuel-ll2kr obviously not but that’s the story
Here's another good story: In 1941 a Soviet cook was waiting for his tank platoon to return but then a group of german panzers arrived. All but one tank kept driving and when he saw the tank he grabbed an axe and starting charging toward the tank. When it started firing it's machine gun he dodged the gunfire and lept on the tank were he then threw a tarp on the top of the tank and another over the co drivers vison port and his apron over the drivers port. Then he started chopping the machine gun until it broke. He then shouted in different pitches to decive the germans leading them to surrender. When they got out, he captured them.
10:40 fun fact he tried to kill his master twice before they became friends he had killed 999 samurai’s and planned for his master to be his 1000th (he had it out for them for some reason)
i think the reason for it was something like that samurai was also in a group but his now master killed them all so the samurai had it out
I believe the legend goes that he wanted to prove he himself was a great samurai.
The many other Samurai lords had 1000 somethings. Like 1000 horses, 1000 castles, 1000 servants, 1000 wives and so on. So he wanted to have 1000 swords. To do that he dueled many other samurai to take their swords.
@Samuel-ll2kr buddy just look it up
@Samuel-ll2krI mean .. do you have a source for that? Seems like you just made that up
That’s some goku and vegeta type stuff
One of my favorite last stands in history was Blackbeard's last stand. Dude was a one man army.
After boarding an enemy ship (specifically, one disguised as a trading vessel but filled with soldiers), Blackbeard and his men were outnumbered and outgunned. Yet they drew their weapons and threw hands. Blackbeard got in a 1v1 with the commanding officer, and SHATTERED HIS SWORD with a SINGLE STRIKE OF HIS CUTLASS. He was about to land the finishing blow when someone stabbed him from behind.
This, of course, only angered Blackbeard. He killed the guy behind him and kept fighting. He suffered *25* wounds, 5 of which were gunshots, before finally keeling over.
Roy “big balls” benavidez. Dude had pure venom pumping through his veins I swear. Fuckin pitbull
Hell yeah! Roy "big balls" Benavidez was an absolute beast! Dude was running on pure venom! A true pitbull! 💪😤 His story in the video was insane.
If anyone wants to get a full breakdown about Roy Benavidez, instead of the simplified version, The Fat Electrician made a great video about him

let us not forget Ben Salomon
he was a soldier during ww2 on the japanese front at the mariana island.
long story short he was tending to his patients when a banzai charge happened, he fought off multiple japanese soldiers who were stabbing his patients. he hopped on a machine gun to cover the retreat of everyone in the medical tent. he was found days later with 24 gunshot wounds and mutilated with bayonets stabs. surrounding the machinegun was 98 dead japanese soldiers.
edit: spelling, read your comments before posting them everyone.
May he be remembered...
yea i was wondering why he wasn’t included
@@romeoramirez4980he is mentioned in other videos regarding “one man armies” so I think he wasn’t included to prevent accusations of copying videos

Listening to Vito's story I heard in my head Optimus Prime saying "You'll never stop at one! I'll take you all on!" Whilst the forest battle theme plays.
Roy really went "Fuck you I'm not died."

0:28 Outsiders take the Cartel problem as similar if not the same as the Gang problem, when its not. The Cartels are part of the organized crime, little armies on their own right, military gear [imported by illegal US dealers], military structure and some even with rodumentary tanks. Los Zetas were some of THE FIRST to become militarized, like in the photo shown, the Cartels, specially the big ones like the CDS (Cartel de Sinaloa [Cartel of Sinaloa]) and CJNG (Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion [New Generation of the Cartel of Jalisco]) are not to be taken as a gang problem, but as a great threat to national security and a massive part of the war on drugs.
Let's not kid ourselves, the Cartels were funded by the US government. This has been going on for decades.
the current corruption in mexico is what people think the mob was but forreal and even deadlier. however they are closer to gangs as far as understanding the loyalty that keeps them operating . crime is bred under the same conditions, desperate people, who have mouths to feed, which eventually becomes greed. the systems of corruption can be connected back to spaniards decimating the population and those who survived, inter bred, forced to assimilate, or were corrupt leaders or people who would give goods or intel to colonizers. it’s an ugly system
I don’t think anyone is making honest comparisons, Americas “gang” problem hasn’t been a real thing since the Italian Americans ran organized crime. Gang activity in the US and Mexico is a joke and nobody is concerned with them killing themselves on the streets compared to cartels that cause actual problems and hurt innocent people
Good explanation
los zetas were a Mexican military unit trained by the US special forces before being hired as hit men and eventually becoming a cartel of their own. So some of these cartels are not only militarized, but trained by the best military in the hemisphere. Over time, they’ve broken down and mostly operate as smaller groups these days.

Bro was 77 and still defended his house better than a 25 year old probably would
Benkei was actually nuts, he was traveling trying to defeat 1000 men and get their swords. He had 999 swords and his 1000th opponent was Yoshitsune who managed to defeat Benkei, which made him mad for a rematch, which he lost again, then swore loyalty.

The Viking of the Stamford bridge was supposedly a Berserker, meaning it was very likely that not only was he fighting an army by himself, he also probably did so with no armor and only bear pelts as clothing.

In Switzerland there was also an epic last stand (according to legend) by a Swiss soldier called Arnold von Winkelried. In 1386, the Swiss fought a battle against the Austrians (Battle of Sempach) but could not break through the lines. Von Winkelried decided to open up the Austrian line, charging toward the Austrians by himself and grabbing their lances, impaling himself and taking some down when his body fell to the ground. This opened a small gap, which allowed the Swiss to successfully break up the Austrian line and eventually win the battle.
austria only lost that battle because they were outnumbered by the swiss
@ the Austrians outnumbered the Swiss. About 4:1 ((the Austrians had about 4k men (1.5k knight, about the same amount as the entire Swiss army). They lost cause the Swiss had the better position and because the Austrian knights had to dismount, effectively rendering them pretty useless.
@@Swissswoosher yea austrian soldiers were much better than swiss soldiers otherwise
@ Is rhat why the Swiss were long considered the best soldiers in Europe? They defeated Austria in every war they fought with each other (decisively).
The Swiss invented a weapon for exactly the purpose to deal with knights, so even on horse they could defeat them. So come again with “the Austrians were better soldiers” 😂
I am suprised how straight forward this video is, amazing

As soon as u have any kind of last stand ur automatically a main character
Amazing video, really cheered me up. Thanks for the amazing video. Keep up the great work and take breaks when ya need to
Imagine all the other badass last stands we never heard of because all the witnesses didn’t get to live to tell the tale.
Great video. In terms of actual people, these are some of the best examples for sure, but in terms of larger scale battles, it's really hard to think of many good ones. I mean, the 300 Spartans is always a perfect example, but definitely overdone. So I will take a moment to waffle about a battle that To me, is the finest example of ''the last stand of a battle that decides the fate between life and complete annihilation'' - Battle of Sardarabad, between Armenia and the Ottoman Empire, in 1918. The details and background are extremely complicated and messy, as this is the Caucasus we're talking about, but basically, Russia had collapsed, Caucasus states regained independence as of the Brest-Litovsk treaty, and the Ottoman Empire was going absolute ham on the young Caucasian nations, which included Armenia, which the Ottomans aimed to erase from the face of earth (as dictated by the Armenian genocide). The nation was practically encircled and the Ottomans were at the doorstep of the capital. Here, the last remaining, outnumbered 10-35 Armenian soldiers, heavily backed by the civilians fleeing the genocide, orchestrated a last ditch effort to save the nation, near the village of Sardarabad. It was practically all or nothing, had the Ottomans won the battle, there would be nothing between them and Yerevan. Whilst initially on the losing end, they managed to retaliate, inflict heavy losses and drive the bastards back as far as the occupied city of Alexandropol. At the end of the battle and the subsequent ones like the battle of Karakilisa, the morale of the far larger and more powerful Ottoman Empire had been so utterly annihilated, that they decided to negotiate peace with the people they wanted to exterminate for good. Really fascinating battle that literally nobody knows about, it's a pity, really.
Crazy

10:17 Nagikiba does not exist. You are probably refering to Nagakiba, the proper name given to the elden ring nodachi wielded by Yura. But given that your drawing is depicting a polearm and that he's defending a narrow position (a bridge) I'm guessing the actual weapon you are talking about is a naginata.
