AT THE EDGE OF MADNESS
IN A TIME OF SADNESS
AN IMMORTAL SOLDIER FINDS HIS HOME
yeah... great general... awfull person... Hussites were just pillaging and raping bohemian, moravian and polish lands... Jan Žižka himself ordered to burn a church full of adamites (Hussite fraction)... and this is just the tip of a iceberg... and btw, those wagon walls he copied from elsewhere (i think they used it in small scale during the german knigts campaign which battle of grünwald was part of)

All the Total War fans showed up for this comment lol
Jan Žižka was truly the first innovator of the phrase: "If you're fighting fair, then your tactics sucks"
Yeah, he was blind and outnumbered and it still wasn't a fair fight.
Well, this could be the other way around as well. He exploited geography in such a way that in one of the most famous of his battles, his camp was on a hill and strong rain. Crusaders waited until it stopped raining before they attacked with heavy cavalry. But there's a catch. They were in a very low point in the land, basically a swamp, and don't get me started on how bad the terrain must've been after such a heavy rain. They all got stuck in the mud and then, Žižka ordered a counter attack and sent his troops to finish off the knights that didn't drown. A bunch of rebel peasants beating armored knights stuck in mud, drowning, to death with farming equipment. Sounds pretty unfair to me in this sense of a word.
I mean was Czech
As a weak, physically and mentally disabled person, if i ever had to fight in a non-friendly manner (as in not sparing) you know damn well i will do what most consider as "fighting dirty" as well as using the environment to my advantage

Last week i just finished Jan zizka campaign and today this video comes up
One of my favorite campaign so far
I prefer Jadwiga. But tbh all of the Dawn of the Dukes are bops for how they're relatable to eachother
he had effectively pioneered trench warfare along with TANKS (the armored wagons, a more realistic comparison would be chariots with cannons) when rifles were literal shoulder mounted cannons
Such a gorgeous campaign and civ
Small note: The reason why Žižka was able to defeat his opponents while fully blind was that he had multiple assistants describing the exact layout of the terrain, after that he gave out orders on how to proceed.
Another thing that he could have been executed but was given amnesty by the king Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia
Those Assistants were the GOATS
You know you are doing something right when your people not stay loyal to you despite your difficulties, but also assist you the best way they can offer.
In some odd way, his blindness might also have been a key advantage: Instead of using his own eyes (or well, eye), he had *several* pairs. Without any distraction from what his vision (human's most dominant sense), he could possibly focus extremely well on his mental imagery of the land (and it's proven that people who lose eyesight, but aren't born blind, do retain their ability to see mental images). And because his assistants knew they had to be precise, they probably examined the terrain with far more effort than regular scouts or commanders would. And, lastly, there's something mythical about a fully blind commander who continues doing his job (and exceptionally well), which means his soldiers probably saw a quasi-saint in him. That kind of leadership is an exceptional boost to morale, which was a key component of warfare then (even more so than it is currently, and even with modern scales and technoligies, Ukraine aptly demonstrated how invaluable morale is).
He was fully blind only after the Hussite Revolution started. And by that time, Wenceslas IV was already dead.
still fucking badass
Fun fact: Joan of Arc was a contemporary of Zizka, and she called the Hussites a bunch of “heretics”. One of her desires was to fight against the Hussites, after kicking the English away from France.
Lol it could had been one of the coolest crossover in all the history

Žižka when 3rd crusade rolls around: *"I didnt see no bell"*
"see" 😂😂😂😂
This video excluded one of the most well known aspects of Žižka's leadership: The crusaders feared him and his army of villagers with farming gear so much that one time an entire crusader army ran away just hearing Žižka's army sing their song "Ktož sů boží bojovníci" (Whom are the God's warriors) from a distance.
The crusaders were so scared shitless by these wagabonds singing about them being the true warriors of God that they scrambled before even getting a sight of them.
Also, the reason he lost the first eye was because he took an arrow straight to his face, but he didn't let such a small inconvenience stop him from kicking ass
Also also, he sieged casles (including the one he lost his eye at) by catapulting *_literal burning piles of shit over the walls,_* thus making the enemies sick and demoralised. *And it worked like a charm.*
As a Czech, just seeing the thumbnail put a smile on my face, thank you :)

-Thousands of crusaders with heavy armor and cavalry from various European nations

To be fair, The Crusaders had themselves to blame. They extremely underestimated us which led to the fact that we absolutely destroyed SIX crusades in a row.
@@sunwu-kchung5219 I could understand the Crusaders underestimating the Bohemians on the first Crusade, but if they still failed to achieve victory all the way to the 6th one, then they were simply stupid. Like seriously, didn't they learn a single thing from the first 5 Crusades?

JAN HUS!???111!?!!?
Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, had a long and successful reign. The Empire he ruled from Prague expanded, and his subjects lived in peace and prosperity.
When he died, the whole Empire mourned. More than 7,000 people accompanied him on his last procession.
The heir to the throne of the flourishing Empire was Charles' son, Wenceslas IV, whose father had prepared him for this moment all his life. But Wenceslas did not take after his father. He neglected affairs of state for more frivolous pursuits. He even failed to turn up for his own coronation as Emperor, which did little to endear him to the Pope. Wenceslas "the Idle" did not impress the Imperial nobility either.
His difficulties mounted until the nobles, exasperated by the inaction of their ruler, turned for help to his half-brother, King Sigismund of Hungary. Sigismund decided on a radical solution. He kidnapped the King to force him to abdicate, then took advantage of the ensuing disorder to gain greater power for himself. He invaded Bohemia with a massive army and began pillaging the territories of the King's allies.
It is here that my story begins...
*I feel quite hungry.*
Jesus Christ be praised
Henry has come to see us!
KISS. OUR. ARSEEES!
Reminder that the Hussite Rebellion features nudists (Adamites) fighting communists (Taborites) fighting a bunch of normal people who just had very specific opinions about the eucharist (Utraquists). Jan Žižka was originally on the Taborite side before he soured on their lack of discipline and overzealous nature (read: killing prisoners when he told them not to) and switched to the Orebites, a less-radical branch of the Taborites.
Where can i read more about this i need to know everything
Despite not liking Prague, he even took command of it's forces, when their leader Želivský got defeated by the Saxons. The only hussite faction that was not under his command at some point were the adamites, whom he hated and personally oversaw their extermination by the Taborites.

'Armoured Wagons fitted with small cannon and muskets'
Alright, we can now officially agree that this was the first usage of tanks in warfare.
Zizka is one of the greatest generals to ever live. War wagon are OP.
Btw recently an insanely atmospheric RPG called Felvidek was released set close to this period in Slovakia or Nothern Hungary as it was known then. The Hussites are minor antagonists.
Felvidek mentioned let's fucking go
"Je to zberba, husiti. Žizka vraj, než sa stal ich vodcom, tak bol v družine s niekým, koho prezývali hovno"
thats during the Hunady regency , many Hussites were merceneries during that time as the Hussite wars have alread ended
@@MaxJM711dude, i saw a trailer for it like 2 weeks ago and it looks amazing. Definitely gonna play it
Hussites being the bad guys makes me loose all interest tbh
A wagon filled with cannons? Isn't that a tank?
Also, the medieval 2 ost fits perfectly.
Yes,but less mobile but still,its almost tank
Historical Fact (I think):
The Wagons that Jan Zizka used were actually nicknamed by the Imperial Crusader Army as the Panzerkampfwagen.
“The one whom no mortal hand could destroy was extinguished by the finger of god” goes so hard
It is also thanks to him that the word pistol even exists.
Hussites used a musket called píšťala (whistle) and since nobody else could say it properly, they called it pistala.
Yes. Same goes for the word "Robot" and it's meaning. Czech Republic is also the reason United States uses "Dollars" as their currency, as "Dollar" is from the Czech "Tollar".

True, Khmelnytsky tried using similar tactics to Žižka's at the battle of Berestechko in 1651 and got obliterated.
@@obrnenydrevokocur9344 Issue with using Žižka's tactics 200 years later lay in advancement and greater usage of field guns, not to mention Muskets piercing wooden wagons. Wagons forts were usable for about 100 years in the European war theathers. Ottoman usage of wagon forts had success against gunpowder underdeveloped states for another 100 years, but also slowly abbandoned them.
I don't think he would. His strenght was defensive warfare. He could withstand the main attack with a few soldiers and then counterattack when the enemy cohesion broke. He also knew when to get away if the situation started to look unfavorable. He wasn't that good in sieges though. Hussites couldn't relieably siege towns so they usually just burned down and plundered everything that was outside the walls and left.

Hi, I am from CZ. Jan Zizka has its own big statue in south CZ. Its placed, where he performed genius victory over 10k knights. The statue is located on small hill, between 3 lakes. He won on that hill using smart strategy: wagons and mud in lakes.
I am travelling there almost each year, as the nature is very beauty there and the statue is awesome. Made from stone and steel, Jan is still there with his beloved weapon (1h mace) in his hands overlooking his most famous victory location over decades...

And another, King Herod and his dynasty would not be a thing were it not for his father Antipater (Not to be confused with one of Alexander's Diadochi, also named Antipater)'s role in influencing the latter part of the Hasmonean Period, and the aforementioned King Herod being married to a daughter of the relative of one of the last Hasmonean rulers.

A pretty funny thing is that when the Husites fought against each other (there was infiting amongst them after Žižka's death about whether they should accept peace and overall how radical they should be), both sides hunkered down with their vagon wall and waited for the other guys to charge them as per their usual strategy, but since neither side attacked, they just ended up looking at each other from afar awkwardly.

You forgot he and his troops defeated an entire army just by singing
Fun fact:
As mentioned, Hussites were innovative in use of gun powder.
One of the best implementation was a medium lenght barrel gun mounted on a very long wooden handle, so that you can rest the barrel on the edge of the wagon.
They were called the flute.

if someone is curious, "Husité" was first who used a lot of guns in middle age and it was called in my language "Píšťala" in english "Whistle" and from it was made a new world as we know today as "Pistole". :) or another one, Robot - from a writer Karel Čapek and was first used in his drama "R.U.R."
It could easily be translated to Polish - 'piszczała' or 'piszczałka'. Means the same thing as in CZ. Yet we still just say 'pistolet' lol
as a czech person myself we all see this man as a hero and recently we made a movie about him and the husite wars
today i still remember being fascinated when we learnd about žižka in school
Ktož jsú boží bojovníci
a zákona jeho,
prostež od boha pomoci
a dúfajte v něho,
že konečně vždycky s ním svítězíte. (continue)
Bro really said "don't need 'em" when he lost his eyes and still won battles nevertheless. Absolute legend.
Bro had to of been save scumming to get the best result
Damn the edit was GOD TIER! Awesome video about our mighty warrior, great job! (Btw, even as a Czech, I DID NOT KNOW that he wanted his skin to become the membrane of a fkin DRUM. Just how chad is that? 😂😎)
Nobody: tanks in 15 century.
Žižka has ruined careers of so many Crusaders while being blind. Bro truly got some flex
I turned myself into a WAR DRUM MORTYYYY!
Fun fact: word pistol comes from czech word píšťala (whistle), which was one of the early fire arms used by hussites.
Armored wagons fitted with small cannons, my man brought fucking tanks to the battlefield when everyone is playing with swords.
Also this voice 2:13 to me sounds like the tutorial narrator from Mount and Blade Fire and Sword.
Don't forget the time the Hussites won against the crusade by just singing "to sú boží bojovníci"
0:35 G'dang, sometimes I forget there was a time where there already were man-at-arms wielding early muskets. Basically knights with guns, it's awesome.
that whole period is so underrated
I asked him to make a Jan Zizka video a few days ago and he actually did.
one minute ago is crazy
i am proud to have this man as a part of my country's history
Truly a history moment of all time
