Your question on why Mihai fell for the feigned retreat trap reminded me of how Kitbuqa fell for a similar trap in the battle of Ain Jalut. No wonder that Kitbuqa was more renowned than Mihai and had better well-known exploits… Perhaps it's over confidence as well as underestimating the enemies is the probable reason (I don't see any better explanation). It's not bravery nor recklessness. It's sheer arrogance and over-confidence gained from consecutive victories. And this is what makes the difference between such commanders and the ones whose stories and excellence gain eternal fame… Like Khaled Ibn Al-Waleed RA (ironically, Khaled translates to Immortal, Perennial and Eternal)
Is it just me or is the music freaking boppin’ in this one?? Like the intro track is incredible
Is that the dune music that we can ear in the backgrounds at some moment or am I having a stroke ?
I am very very impressed with Basta here. In pre-modern times it is very very rare for an army to get surprised by a hillside ambush, forced to turn and flee, and then suddenly stop the rout and reorganize itself, to even execute a double envelopment on the pursuing enemy.
The nomads do it, but it's easier for nomads since they are mostly mounted, the pursuers' cavalry can get easily separated from infantry and get picked off first. Here Basta is also fleeing with infantry, and this makes it more impressive.
