20,000 Medieval Soldiers. 1 Bridge. Total Annihilation.

Описание: 20,000 English soldiers marched to crush a Scottish rebellion. They never made it across the bridge.

This is the true story of the Battle of Stirling Bridge - September 11th, 1297. Where William Wallace turned a narrow wooden bridge into the most devastating trap in medieval history.

No Hollywood dramatization. No exaggeration. Just the raw tactical genius that destroyed England's finest army in less than an hour.

🗡️ WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
• How Wallace studied the bridge for weeks before the battle
• Why England's heavy cavalry became their greatest weakness
• The exact moment Surrey realized his army was trapped
• What really happened to the 5,000 soldiers who couldn't escape
• Why this single battle changed the course of British history

This isn't just another history documentary. This is the battle that proved terrain, timing, and intelligence can defeat any enemy - no matter how powerful.
