Two big absences (as a french) : The Battle of Camaron - This is where the mystique surrounding of the french foreign legion came from. 65 legionaires against 3000 mexicans, inflicting 500 casualties to the ennemy until they ran out of ammos, then the 5 last legionaires went into a final bayonet charge. The Knight Bayard - Recognized throughout europe at the epitome of chivalry. His story would deserve a movie, and he died in a rear guard action buying time for his men, standing alone on a bridge against an army of the holy roman empire, and pushing away the first waves, finally being defeated by an arquebus shot. But really, when it comes to this guy, his entire life was a fantasy come true.

The elite Imperial Guard had been thrown into the battle at the last minute to salvage a victory for Napoleon, but despite their bravery they could not break the British centre and were forced to retreat. The setback broke French morale. The surviving Imperial Guardsmen rallied just south of La Haye Sainte for their last stand. Legend has it that when called on to surrender, a French general (either Pierre Cambronne or Claude-Etienne Michel) responded 'La Garde meurt mais ne se rend pas!', which translates to 'The Guard dies, but it does not surrender!'

another honorable mention would be the 3 Brazilian soldiers who held off a much larger German force in ww2 when asked to surrender they refused and fought to the end. Their names were Arlindo Lúcio da Silva, Geraldo Baeta da Cruz, and Geraldo Rodrigues de Souza.

There is one more battle which should be included in the future part. The battle of pavankhind. 300 maratha vs 10,000 adilshahis The battle was fought to by time for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to escape to the fort of Vishalgad. The commander Baji Prabhu Deshpande after fighting for almost 7 hours died after hearing the Canon fire from Vishalgad fort. In the honor of this last stand the horsepass was named Pavankhind (the holy pass).

Just a small correction, Cao Cao was just a warlord at the time of Dian Wei's story. He never proclaimed himself emperor, his son did shortly after his death. Very interesting history, would be cool to see more coverage on that time period.

worth noting many of these are likely seriously embellished, Dian Wei being a prime example (after all the romance of the three kingdoms is itself not historical but is basically the dynasty warriors version of history before Dynasty Warriors stepped it up to an even more absurd level)
