command of Fritz Klingenberg, fought garrison troops and captured the entire city of Belgrade and its thousands of troops by pretending to be an entire army. Certain battles also involved the use of defences or topographical features to get an advantage. At Agincourt, the English benefited from a position where their flanks and rear were protected by woods, and the ground in front of them was muddy from rain. This drove the oncoming french horse onto prepared wooden stake defences, and meant the French could not use their advantage of numbers Famous military victories against the odds Agincourt Another battle often noted for being a victory against all odds was The Battle of Agincourt (1415) saw a depleted English army, led by Henry V and composed of 5,000 to 8,000 longbowmen, achieve victory over a superior French army of 15,000 to 30,000 cavalry and heavy infantry, the English being outnumbered, possibly by as much as 5 to 1. The English achieved this unexpected victory through a combination of better tactics, favorable terrain, and the missile superiority of the longbow. Henry V personally led his troops into battle and participated in hand-to-hand combat. The English adopted a defensive stance, erecting wooden fortifications and raining down arrows on the advancing French army. When the English archers ran out of arrows, they dropped their bows and using hatchets, swords, and the mallets they had used to drive their wooden stakes in, counterattacked the now shaken, fatigued, and wounded French men-at-arms massed in front of them. The French forces had sustained heavy losses, and were bogged down in the mud and encumbered in their heavy plate armor. The counter-attack from the English was a decisive blow, and the rest of the French army, having witnessed the slaughter, fled the field of battle. Henry V's victory at Agincourt, against a numerically superior French army, crippled France and started a new period in the war during which Henry V married the French princess Catherine, and their son, Henry, was made heir to the throne of France as well as of England. The battle saw the death of between 6000 and 9000 French troops, with comparatively few English losses. The battle is a good example of a victory against the odds, where an outnumbered army used superior tactics, weapons and topography to defeat a much larger army Battle of Longewala This battle saw 2000 Pakistani soldiers and
