The thing no one understands about medieval war vs modern was the change in operations tempo. A medieval soldier would march around for weeks in-between battles which would usually last a day or 2, giving them time to grieve their losses and come to terms with what has happened. Compare that to ww1 where soldiers spent months on the front, never entirely out of combat areas, rarely, if ever, more than a mile from the front.

The one about the PTSD is just completely wrong. PTSD did not really exist back then. Because 99% of a soldier's life was simply marching, foraging, garrisoning and camping. Battles were rare and usually lasted less than a day, whereas a campaign could last many months. Compare this to WW1 and onwards, where you would be in near constant danger and fear for weeks or even months at a time.

Siege of Rosclogher 1588. For 17 days, 9 Spaniards from the Tercio withstood the attack of 1.700 English soldiers, thanks to the boggy terrain and gunfire of the Spanish, and the storm during the 17th day which forced the English to retreat, the English were unable to defeat 9 lonely men. the Battle of Jemmingen 1568 where at one point in the battle, a group of 26 Spaniards defending their position at a bridge defeated 4.000 Dutch troops after fighting for half an hour, or the Sieges of Oran and Mers El-Kèbir 1563, which started with the attack of the 100.000-strong Ottoman force (including Jannissaries) on the Torre de Todos los Santos, defended by barely 200 Spaniards, and the Ottomans were unable to defeat the Spaniards by taking it by assault, just after the cannons tore down the walls/ or ammunition and food run out (depending on the source) the Ottomans took the position, and ended with the defence of the remaining less than 500 Spaniards against more than 90.000 remaining Ottomans, and won. 😐 Take into consideration these are victories against possibly the best armies in the world alongside the Spanish at the time, not some random country with not particularly efficient armies. Oh, and the Battle of Saragarhi, although a valiant last stand, was a defeat after all against the rebel army. I could really name more actions involving outnumbered Spanish troops eventually winning against vastly numerically superior forces, but I believe these ones in particular deserve recognition, because winning against such powerful armies while being outnumbered by a ratio of hundreds is not something that happens regularly.

Bernadotte or as he was known before his empire, Charles XIV John, was Napoleon's marshal and also one of Napoleon's best cavalry general during his time in power. Bernadotte was given Sweden to act as a buffer and client kingdom to Napoleon's France and also as a method to pay back Bernadotte for his efforts at Austerlitz and subsequent Coalition Wars. However, he was then psychoed by the British to betray Napoleon and when Napoleon and the French invaded Pomerania which was part of Sweden's territory at that point of time, Bernadotte flipped and joined the Sixth Coalition together with Russia, Prussia, Britain and Austria to knock Napoleon out of the game.
