@Marshall Carwood maybe they lacked the numbers to form a viable square. Also they were taken by surprise which does not allow time to form square.
@@michaelswann9227 Most of them did not even have their rifles on them when they were ambushed.
@Marshall Carwood No rifles had bayonet sockets, So Forming Square is useless without bayonets,
Baker rifles were issued with 24 inch sword bayonets, Brown Bess muskets were issued regular socket bayonets
@@paddy1389 but still, baker Rifles cannot shoot when it is equipped with the sword
Sharpe's first real order as a Lieutenant was to tell his men to stand down, so they didn't die needlessly in a heroic, but hopeless action.
I can't believe it took me this long to work out why, of all the rifles, perkins wasn't a chosen man- this is why. The chosen men were sharpe's command, and perkins was only there because they rescued him.
What? Perkins became chosen man after he shot a French officer who was in a fair duel with Sharpe, the Frenchie went dirty and dishonest and Perkins shot him. Then Sharpe gave him the special ribbon thingy and he became chosen man.
@@serene_actual And then Hogan goes up to Perkina and says quietly 'Take my advice Perkins; give it back!" - which I think he does so, thus declining the position of Chosen Man.
The look between Harper and Sharpe when he saves Perkins and gives the boy something to focus on, subtle acting nuance.

@@dolsopolar True
I can't find the scene but I remember Hagman falling down in the mud and Sharpe still being new is dismissing him as too old-to which Hagman states he kept his rifle out of the mud. Sharpe helps pull him up and they start chatting about old wounds that bother them. Great scene showing how the Chosen Men and Sharpe started developing into an inseparable team.
It is this episode but abit later on
I think this is the best episode of the series.

After Waterloo the British were so impressed by the Polish lancers they formed their own regiment. And as part of the uniform the British troopers wore the square topped ‘Chapka’. Watch “ The charge of the light brigade”. Featuring a fatal charge by 600 light cavalry again Russian guns. Made in the mid 60s but still a great film.
Lancers had a better chance at breaking infantry squares than other types of cavalry had, as the lance could outreach fixed bayonets on muskets. Even so, they were unable to break squares at Waterloo - at least one French (or Polish?) lancer hurled his lance, transfixing one of the British soldiers in a square - the lancer's fate is not recorded.
The advantages of lancers were clear even before Waterloo. In one French engagement with Austrians in rainy weather, it was at first stalemate because the Austrian infantry square could not fire as the rain prevented the powder from igniting, but French cavalry were deterred by their bayonets. Then some lancers attacked the Austrians and quickly broke up the square.
@@stevekaczynski3793 I believe Polish lancers also broke a British infantry square in the Peninsular war in Spain, although I forget the details. Out of interest, my father was in the 3rd Carpathian lancers (attached to the British army) in WW2. Although they stuck him in a Sherman !
The history of the British lancers are pretty interesting, as the British army had had lancer regiments throughout the early-mid 1700s but by the late 1700s they had all been converted into light dragoons....It wasn't until after Waterloo that they reintroduced them and as you point out like the Hussar regiments they took on a very distinctive look which was copied from other nations.
@@robplazzman6049- Not sure they broke a square, but at the battle of Albuera in 1811, the Vistula lancers caught a British brigade from the flank unawares and destroyed three of the four regiments.
When the Rifles learned Sharpe is a leader and a killer. That's the look Harper got from the other soldier as the clip wrapped up. I can't remember all their names - it's been ages since I last binged through the whole series.

His nostrils are full of blood after being knocked off his horse by the rock.
French noses are used only for sound effects in coversations and smelling garlic. You can't breathe through them.
Loved Sharpe but the budget was so shit, battle of Waterloo fought by two armies of fifty men.
Sean Bean nails it though. Bastard!
It was quite a high budget series for the 90s. Especially the final episodes.

The first TV series/movie that Sean Bean has survived till the end.
Karma has been balancing things out since then...
Sean Bean was saying "oh my god" because the people who were skirmishers don't know how to fight against Calvary
I think they did but they were caught in the open and didn't have time to form up (the guy who said "rifles to me" presumably tried to get them to form up but it was far too late) and it seemed half of them at least were trying to disperse and seek cover. Either way they were fucked, skirmish infantry caught out by cavalry in the open like that at such close range was disastrous, the one time i know it happened during the rl napaleonic wars, which the 95th (the green jackets here) witnessed was that of a fellow light infantry regiment suffering it. They got wiped out completely, an experience that stayed with the 95th soldiers so much that years later at waterloo, when the 95th were on the receiving end of a cavalry charge, many veteran 95th soldiers turned and fled expecting it to be a similar massacre. Fortunately for those that stayed though they bunched up in time into a square and were able to repel the french cavalry with minimal casualties somehow.

Imagine getting ambushed by a bunch of French dudes wearing Chef Hats.
Im surprised British riflemen in open field with no support not winning against lancers?!?!? This is Sharpe right? They usually make the Brits super OP in this show. =P
They make Sharpe OP, but the brits in general about as competent as a wet glove.
for the longest time i thought the guy saying "young Perkins, sir" 2:40 was Jimmy McNulty in The Wire.
Sharpe and his men are probably round delayers in blood and iron.
WAIT I ACCIDENTALLY SAID SHARPE THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!
Lmao yes
It must have taken a lot of soul searching by Sharpe and his men not to open fire to try and save their comrades but then they would probably all have been killed
That's what it seemed. Near certain death and still lose? No, live and fight another day.
I have this sense that in real cavalry battles, horses got intentionally stabbed a whole lot more than they can/will show on TV.
This one didn't make sense. They were up on ground completely inaccessible to the french cavalry and could have been firing multiple volleys while they enemy would have had to dismount and climbed the rocks on foot under fire and without any way to answer their fire.
From this movie I learnd that Frenches always fight open, and weren't hide in bushes concealing for a rat ambush :)
French Calvary and Polish Hussar were excellent~♡
How cuddly they are ♡♡
Sharpe and his bros are excellenter
Dude, did ya'll see Sharpe just fucking throw a knife from long range into a dude's neck? That was impressive.
so we have rifles / muskets and do not use them just run around in circles
They deserve to die. No guard on duty, Rifles not ready. Poor leadership.

This scene really shows that cavalry is a force to be reckoned with for centuries of warfare. Only after the widepread introduction and use of machine gun in early 20th century that made the cavalry warfare finally became obsolete, deadly and futile.
And this, boys and girls, is why they stood in lines
Lmaoooooo 😂
Reloading took ages, standing in formation (square was the best, due to horses fear of clumped masses of people) and bayonets as semi-spears was absolutely vital to avoid fate like this, but riflemen actually had sabres, not rifles with bayonets and most importantly they were absolutely caught out camping. Absolutely hopeless to defend.
I'm always surprised Sharpe didn't have his chosen men fire. With their 3 rounds per minute rate of fire, and being in a place inaccessible to cavalry, they might have turned the rout into a successful defense.
Plot requirement, I guess.
It's all over in about 80 seconds, Sharpe know's everyone else is dead and risking his men's lives isn't worth the small amount of casualties they could inflict.
3 rounds per minute is what he expects from his musket carrying troops. His redcoats. Hard to do with a rifle. It’s why Napoleon refused to issue rifles. Too slow to load despite EVERY other army having some form of rifleman.
He taught them how to fire 4 rounds a minute against cavalry
It's because of his orders from Wellington, that one of the three officers MUST make contact with Rothschild. The other two officers are being slaughtered in the valley below, and regardless of whether the Chosen Men enter the battle by shooting the Frog leaders, the British officers are almost certain to be killed before it's over. Even if they defeat the Frogs. A hard decision by Sharpe, but the correct one, given his orders.
@@worlore1651 When using muskets, not rifles.
An English movie where Sharpe does not win ? Must be a cut.Also, Sharpe and his squad are out of reach of cavalry on steep rocks, they are Rifles, the only ones able to shoot with accuracy at 400m, and they do not provide fire support to their unit ? French cavalry does not seem so numerous.
The problem here is that - *_by the look of it_* - the french "ambush" consists of just about two dozen *horsemen* & Sharpe & his five *riflemen* are positioned at a rather safe spot. They could - *_so it seems_* - make a difference with little risk to themselves.
Major Dunnett poised to stab a downed French cavalryman with the company pennant before being killed?
That’s soldiering.
how does a rifle regiment not fire a single shot in that engagement at all !?!?!?! they literally turned to hand to hand combat immediately instead of fixing bayonets or firing considering most of them are suppose to be decent shots so why use the rifles as clubs. like sharpes men were about to fire so that tells me there whole regiment had loaded rifles or could have at least fixed a couple bayonets instead of turning to swords

the reality was different:
ua-cam.com/video/N0pGkXgPqTs/v-deo.html
There were only 215 Polish lancers at Waterloo, and 5 were killed. Surprisingly low losses resulted from the iron discipline of Poles and excellent training
The last battle won by a French army on its own.
Jeez, it’s almost like they had a budget and could only do what they could with what they were working with.

Je suis tombé par hasard sur la vidéo. 👍
Ça fait, depuis la série Jean-Roch Coignet, qu'il n'y a plus rien!
Alors qu'il y a moyen avec toute l'Histoire, batailles, expéditions, aventures,...traités dans des livres par des historiens, des milliers de scénarios sont possibles à réaliser!

Et n'oublions pas, l'armée de Wellington au Portugal, en Espagne ou å Waterloo, financée par les Rothschilds!
@@bo2web C'est l'empire qui les a motives mais dont le revers de la medaille a ete leur talon d'Achille. Cet attachement aveugle a leur pays les a empeches d'apprecier leurs colonies. Ils ont gagnes de nombreuses batailles parce que leur troupes sont tres loyales et disciplinees mais ils ont presque toujours perdu en politique a cause du detachement et dedain qu'ils ressentaient envers les indigenes des pays qu'ils colonisaient ne se sentant jamais chez eux. Aucune assimilation a Dieu ne plaise, il n'y a que l'Angleterre qui compte meme si on s'ancre dans une nouvelle terre. Les francais sont plus aventuries, moins dependants. Tout d'abord ils ne donnent pas de noms de villes francaises dans leurs colonies pour se retrouves un peu chez eux., ils n'eprouvent pas ce besoin de se sentir attaches du nombril a la mere patrie et ils construisent toute une infrastructure pour les gens des pays qu'ils occupent. Ils traitent plus facilement avec les autres. Tres differents. Les francais prennent mais ils apportent beaucoup, les anglais prennent. A peu d'exceptions, la France a garde avec tout le reste du monde d'excellentes relations. Cela n'a pas ete le cas de l'Angleterre pendant des siecles. Les choses ont change mais uniquement grace au temps et aux dernieres generations plus ouvertes d'esprit.
Un exemple de la pensee differente des deux pays. Dans cette video, bien que ce ne soit qu'un film, Sharpe essaye de proteger l'un des siens et les deux cavaliers francais le relachent. Pour les remercier, au lieu de leur donner le champ libre, il les tues. Il est normal que les Anglais se plaignaient au pres des francais avec un refrain qui a peu change que les francais se battaient pour l'argent et qu'eux se battaient pour "l'honneur". Il est donc aussi parfaitement normal que Surcouf reponde que "chacun se bat pour ce qui lui manque". Deux peuples tres differents. Les anglais ont rarement ete magnanimes, par contre le long de l'histoire les francais l'ont souvent demontre avec largesse. Il faut voir les choses avec du recul. Nul peuple n'est parfait mais les differences restent toujours prononcees.
wow, some of those sequences were dangerous!
If you take a look at the white four angels cavaliers hats. You will see that this soldiers were Poles who has fight on the French side apart of the officer cause obviously he was French

What were they doing camped in level open field where they would be at a disadvantage against cavalry? First rule of War is to take advantage of the terrain around you and access your strengths and weakness and that of your enemy.

Salut à tous, Français et Britanniques est ce une série ou un film? avec lord Starck en plus, je ne connaissais pas...
First up I love Sharpe but the French Surprise attack is a lame bit of BS. In the actual army on all sides they had pickets. The name came from picket fence which was a system where the sentries were spread out in sight of each other and usually in twos. To gain surprise you had to kill 2 sentries and do it so the next pickets on either side did not see it. However in addition you would have a lookout. That would be a further out position on a high point with a view of the surrounding approach points.
That is why these kill the sentry looking the other way and get a total surprise things are only on movies and TV. Surprisingly professional armies learned something from thousands of years of war. However script writes and authors need easy ways to set up a story. Pity they just don't think a bit harder and have something plausible instead of ruining good stories with BS like this. Also there is always a response party fully armed loaded and ready to fight under the command of the duty officer at the center of the camp prepared to respond to the pickets warning. Otherwise why have a warning if there is no way to respond to it?
Now I am not nitpicking this is glaring mistake city and I have enjoyed the Sharpe stuff for having quite a lot of basic military realism mixed with its fantasy element. It is just lazy on the pat of the writer or director.
I do not know the number of men they are supposed to represent. Just from the scene - should they make your picket from pairs plus overwatch plus response team there hardly would be any men left.
At the same time - I do not it would be possible to bring such a body of cavalry so close without notice unless specially prepared. Hooves and metal-metal clang would be heard long before.
Are you saying you don't believe some commanders didn't always set a proper watch?
Isn't the point that the captain didn't set his watch properly?
@@mungo7136 Yep. I thought the same but did not add that.
@@iii-ei5cv There were standing orders for watch keeping and it was something you just did .
I feel like Sharpe made a tactical mistake here. He had high ground and superior position with accurate rifles. He could have taken out at least half the calvary and the regiment probably could have stand a chance.
he did it on purpose to make himself and his men hidden from the enemy, that's why he told the rest of the Chosen Men to hold their fire
Frenchies knows always better things about war....
+Mm... wyglądali jak polscy ułani... They look like a polish cavalery.
Polish uhlans beat them!Napoleon always said when French couldn't beat enemy give me My Poles Guard and Polish many times destroyed enemies like battle of Somosierra or anothers battles but very sad is NAPoleon betrayed Polish soldiers in the end (his end)but some polish uhlans left with him to his death.
I don't get it....why didn't they support...they are snipers or not.
Maybe the ambush would have been disturbed... with concentrated fire the horsemen could have been confused

@@pauldonvito8270 Yep. I think Sharpe is pretty good usually. You make a good point. If people are interested though another issue here were the saber cuts killing guys outright which was not true. Survival from saber cuts was quite high and you usually had a bleeding issue which if not resolved might get you. So soldiers could and did often fight on with saber cuts as they were shallow bleeding wounds. They could be sewn up. Stabs were often fatal although if the wound was not into the lung or heart or spine you could still operate but you would die later from the deep wound which could not be treated. But as you say here the defeat of the riflemen was part of the story line. Saber armed cavalry were very good at pursuing broken infantry but not very good at wiping out a unit of infantry. This is not a complaint just an observation.

Why don't the company survived? Can anyone explain about cavalry charge?
Envelope hats and yellow-blue uniforms had Polish troops. They were excellent cavalry and very ruthless. It is wrong to attribute the cavalry power to the cuirass of the French Cuirassiers. Lanciers were the real strength. The horse's impetus focused on the lance's grotto. They pierced the enemy through them. That's why fighting with Poles was so terrible and they were practicing hunting for wild boars. Also tearing out pegs from tents. The English-scorning Poles were painfully convinced of this in Malaga. Lance is an ancient weapon of Polish cavalry. She came to them from the east. For Poles it was art and mastered it to perfection. Then the cavalry of all armies fought with the lance. Especially Mexico. They had good foot. The Vistula Guard is a legend to this day and the Espania of Polish Uhlan called hellish riders. Poles in the Napoleon Army are not a very convenient topic for Espania and Englishmen. They pretend that they do not know what's going on. It is a pity that they know how to investigate what Poles know and tell lies. This fact, Poles this time hate enemy and England. They invazion Sarmatian Poland and slave. England colaboration Russia and Prusia. Poles dont keep prisoners. They units fear enemy. I'm Polish. My ancestor killed the English like a lance like a saber, a cross technique at the Battle of Fureingola. I have his saber to this day. Hanging on the wall is a family souvenir. He always said that the English were mean pigs without honor and partitioners in white gloves. I think he was right. Who financed the ISIS weapon as not the English pseudo government. This is just one of the crimes of this vile nation. A nation of hybrids and subhumans. The same is what the Russians say about the English during the Crimean War. Poles, Russians, Iran and Turkey certainly unites one. Zoological hatred of this vile nation without the honor and criminal whore of Europe, called England. The Arabs should make a nuclear attack on London. They will not do it, because English and criminal pigs finance the ISIS weapon.
