What’s absolutely insane is that the actual charge of the Winged Hussars was 3 times LARGER than the Ride of the Rohirim from Return of the King. Theoden led 6,000 horsemen on-screen, while the Winged Hussars led 18,000. If there was one moment in all history I could see in person, it would be that one.
@The one and only the polish king orderd them to attack, i believe he did not take part in the charge Sobieski lead the charge of the 3000 winged hussars.
UPDATE: 3 years since I wrote this comment… Im glad to still see the line is held by brave warriors! May the names be forever carved into the stones of the battlefield! Most Songs: *Get Up and Dance* Sabaton: *Get up, grab the nearest armor and weapon and DEFEND THE LINE!*
Raging stormclouds, fire and steel Death from above, make the enemy kneel Thundering forth, shining armor and wings! Death from above, it's an army of kings! (The chorus with a few tweeks by me)
- charge of 20,000 (3,000 hussars) cavalry at the Battle of Vienna - 4,000 Hussars defeated 40,000 tsarist army in Battle of Klushino They were not numerous but deadly effective. Ottomans believed that the hussar horses were immortal because the wounded did not fall, they just ran on.
On September 12, 1683, the Polish King John III. Sobieski lead the army of holy league to liberate Vienna from the Ottoman siege. He led the largest cavalry attack in history over the sides of the Kahlenberg with around 34.000 riders, including around 14.000 winged Hussars. This attack is also said to have been the model for the attack by the Rohirrim on the Pelennor Fields in "Lord of the Rings" (in the Movie had the Rohirrim "only" 6000 Riders).
no supposing. Tolkien was a historic professor. the siege of vienna is accepted as grounding for this. numbers are to be varied, granted, but the concept..for sure! (even though Erkenbrand of the westfold lead a gathering of mixed infantry and cavalry, he had rounded up as a true captain of the mark, following tremendous losses)
I’m a simple man, I see anything with Sabaton or Tolkien’s works I watch and like. I see the two combined I make a private playlist to watch again and again.
There is a certain level of (maybe unintentional) synchronicity: The Battle on the Fields of the Pellenor *is* based on the Battle of Vienna when the Holy League crushed the Ottoman siege. So there we have a nice little Ouroboros bent unto it's own tail ;). Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
Well similarities are right there: Great city, a capital of an empire under siege - check. Great horde from the east besieging the city - check Horselords come to aid with devastating charge - check
Damn, looking at the battles stats we can count that: 1 hussar means: -4 foes killed, 8 wounded, 16 escaped. 1 *winged* hussar means: -4 foes killed, 8 wounded, 32 escaped. 1 *winged* hussar with *Sabaton* playing at a backstage means: -9999 enemies killed, 9999 wounded, rest of them escaped.
the scariest part about cavalry charge - killed by horse crashing on ur skull instead of the rider sword/spear. that's what make cavalry unit so deadly n so effective in battle. Sobieski n his army indeed had terrain advantage, just like Theoden with his Rohirrim - came down from higher ground n charge into enemies rank.
A cry for help in times when, Saurons waging war again 2 days of siege, outnumbered again Sent a message to the sky beacons lit, stationed so high On Theoden, their hopes rely against the enemy's burning eye Dedication, dedication They're outnumbered 15 to one And the battle's begun Then Rohan's hussars arrived Coming down Pelennor's side Then Rohan's hussars arrived Coming down Pelennor's side As the days are passing by and as the dead are piling high No escape and no salvation Runners to explosive balls laying deep beneath the walls Plant the charges there and watch the Hornburg fear Desperation Desperation It's a desperate race against the mine And a race against time Then Rohan's hussars arrived Coming down Helm's Deep side Then Rohan's hussars arrived Coming down Helm's Deep side Ballistabolts are coming down from the sky Urukhai are you ready to die?

The background is correct but missing two lines: Original - shining armor and wings, Death from above, It's an army of kings! Suggested: Shining armor, Gondorian Wings, Death from above, The return of the king!
THANK YOU for ending this video with one of my Top 3 favorite Lord of the Rings movie moments! I will NEVER get tired of seeing Eowyn OWN her Destiny!!
I think it makes more sense for the battle for helms deep to be inspired , maybe both, but I think it might just be similar because it is cool and sieges were routinely broken by liberating armies
the battle for osgiliath would be great or helms deep or maybe even the fellowship vs lurz and his uruks at amon hen cause boromir couldnt resist the ring but HELL HE BITE LIKE A SHARK!
The moment you realize that mordors might was broken if not for the arrival of the Eastman. And even then, the damage done to mordors capacity to wage an assault was crippled. It was not gondor that broke the orcs. It was the Horse Lords of Rohan. (Not to disparage the elite of Gondor. But for a ostensibly backwater nation in comparison you would expect Rohan to be able to muster troops enough to break the siege of minas tirith. And theoden said it was less than Half what he'd hoped for. Horse Lords are badass is all im saying. )
-both ottomans and uruk hai used explosives against walls -vienna garrison were outnumbered like the rohan garrison -both rohirrim and winged hussars coming down the mountainside -vienna garrison opened doors and charged to ottomans when winged hussars charged to like theoden aragorn charged when rohirrim arrived -both sultan and saruman sealed the fate of janissaries and uruk hais -after that war saruman lost and turks never able to progress into europe again -gandalf used magic to dazzle urukhais but historically polish metal armor dazzle the janisseries

"expansion" was doomed. Ottomans could barely work with one another let alone push much further into Europe away from their supply lines. most historians agree on that.
the numbers of both armies would have been 3 times bigger now imagine 3000 men on horses like theoden with wings and steel armour charging towards you men that nonetheless have never seen defeat in their lives for generations
Well he went against an entire horde leading the charge and servived the elephant attack, if the only thing that kills you is somone that can't be killed that alone is remarcable.
The best part is that she just wants to defend her home. She's not trying to prove anything or show that she's just as capable as men. She only wants to fight for her people. I respect that. 🫡🫡

I understand you wouldn't want to see theo from the Turks' camp😎
To be fair 6000 spears was less than half of what Theoden expected. With enough time I'm pretty sure he would have muster a force equal or bigger.

So true
With pleasure
get ready!!!!!

I'm no melee fighter but a decent archer. Just need a bit of training
Got the halberd and leather armor all ready.
We remember in September
Was night that Gondor was freed
We made Mordor bleed
*THEN THE ROHIRRIM ARRIVED!!*
The battle of minas tirith was in Marc 😁
i really wish someone would do a LOTR parody of this
Raging stormclouds, fire and steel
Death from above, make the enemy kneel
Thundering forth, shining armor and wings!
Death from above, it's an army of kings!
(The chorus with a few tweeks by me)
Actually, it was March 15th! There's a tiktok account On this day in Middle Earth.
In the movie LoTR this charge was done with about 6,000 Rohirrim participating.
The actual charge of the winged hussars was about 3 times that size.
i believed that there were 3000 winged hussars and about 15000 light calvary from other holy leauge members as well
@@kurokaiman6198 You right but the mass was so terify that 1/4 just run
Into an army of 200k ottomans with cannons muskets and cavalry Jan Sobieski had balls the size of a mountain when he decided to lead that charge
- charge of 20,000 (3,000 hussars) cavalry at the Battle of Vienna
- 4,000 Hussars defeated 40,000 tsarist army in Battle of Klushino
They were not numerous but deadly effective. Ottomans believed that the hussar horses were immortal because the wounded did not fall, they just ran on.
The thing is the change of the rohiram was based off of the battle of Vienna so this needed to happen
On September 12, 1683, the Polish King John III. Sobieski lead the army of holy league to liberate Vienna from the Ottoman siege. He led the largest cavalry attack in history over the sides of the Kahlenberg with around 34.000 riders, including around 14.000 winged Hussars.
This attack is also said to have been the model for the attack by the Rohirrim on the Pelennor Fields in "Lord of the Rings" (in the Movie had the Rohirrim "only" 6000 Riders).
I also think the same cause Tolkien was a WW1 soldier
no supposing. Tolkien was a historic professor. the siege of vienna is accepted as grounding for this. numbers are to be varied, granted, but the concept..for sure!
(even though Erkenbrand of the westfold lead a gathering of mixed infantry and cavalry, he had rounded up as a true captain of the mark, following tremendous losses)
True but Rohan was charging bout 450k orcs
Europe is because of the attack of the husars - otherwise we would all be muslim
There was never 14 thousand hussars at once during siege was 3000 of them and 15000 of the rest of cavalry.
It almost scary how much does the song fit the scenes.
Not really. Tolkien based the Ride of the Rohirrim on the Battle of Vienna. So it makes sense. But I get what ya mean
They just need wings
Helms deep is a copy of that battle. As well

@@fistinyourface7053 if i remember correctly tolkien did base this on the siege of vienna
Actually the defenders had an even chance against the attackers it normally takes a 10 to 1 for their to be a even fight in a siege
*Rohan: saves itself from annihilation (At Helms-Deep); then saves the rest of middle earth (Minis-Tirith).*
Damn, looking at the battles stats we can count that:
1 hussar means:
-4 foes killed, 8 wounded, 16 escaped.
1 *winged* hussar means:
-4 foes killed, 8 wounded, 32 escaped.
1 *winged* hussar with *Sabaton* playing at a backstage means:
-9999 enemies killed, 9999 wounded, rest of them escaped.
00:27
Notice the trolls are beating along in perfect sync
All about the details to make it great. 😊👍
3:10 THAT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE
It's still two mumaks
I can imagine the Hussars chanting DEATH!!!!! Before their charge to hype up
why would they? by that point there was pretty much no chance theyd lose. Rohan charged, knowing it was hopeless and theyd get slaughtered.
My eyes can not take this much epic
the scariest part about cavalry charge - killed by horse crashing on ur skull instead of the rider sword/spear. that's what make cavalry unit so deadly n so effective in battle. Sobieski n his army indeed had terrain advantage, just like Theoden with his Rohirrim - came down from higher ground n charge into enemies rank.
Do attack of the dead men with Return of the king
rohirrim is basically the same thing as winged hussars
A cry for help in times when,
Saurons waging war again
2 days of siege, outnumbered again
Sent a message to the sky
beacons lit, stationed so high
On Theoden, their hopes rely
against the enemy's burning eye
Dedication, dedication
They're outnumbered 15 to one
And the battle's begun
Then Rohan's hussars arrived
Coming down Pelennor's side
Then Rohan's hussars arrived
Coming down Pelennor's side
As the days are passing by
and as the dead are piling high
No escape and no salvation
Runners to explosive balls
laying deep beneath the walls
Plant the charges there and watch the Hornburg fear
Desperation Desperation
It's a desperate race against the mine
And a race against time
Then Rohan's hussars arrived
Coming down Helm's Deep side
Then Rohan's hussars arrived
Coming down Helm's Deep side
Ballistabolts are coming down from the sky
Urukhai are you ready to die?
We will seek our vengeance eye for an eye
You'll be stopped upon the steps of our gate
On this field you're only facing our hate
But back home the dark lord's sealing your fate
We remember In September
That's the night Arda was freed
We made the enemy bleed!
Storm clouds, fire and steel
Death from above make their enemy kneel
Insane,dude
I sang it all just like this. Amazing.
Wrong lyrics
The background is correct but missing two lines:

Wouldve fit that scene from LOTR:TTT near the end, they literally were coming down from the mountainside.
Yeah Battle of Helms Deep where they literally came down from the Mountainside was better
Not just me who thought these match perfectly? Okay good
Bit ironic that one refrain starts when the haradrim arrive. I like
What is with the sound cutting out? Very cool, thank you.
The song "through the fire and flames" would in my opinion be perfect for lotr.
Then the Rohirrim arrived!
And that's how you do it boys. You give the enemy what they would give you, if they had the Polish.
I'm kinda thinking that the battle of Helm's Deep would've been more fitting with this song, because Gandalf and Eomer were literally charging down the mountain side
