By 1314, Bruce commands virtually all of Scotland and is poised to capture Stirling Castle, one of few remaining English strong points in Scotland. Edward II of England leads an army north to relieve the Stirling garrison, but is blocked by Bruce’s army along the Bannock Burn. The heavy cavalry of the English vanguard attempt to outflank the Scots but are repulsed; the repulse of their knights and defeat of a famed English knight in a duel against Bruce demoralize the English in the first day of combat. Bruce decides to attack the next day when he learns Edward is bivouacking his army on soggy ground, hemmed in between the Bannock Burn and Pelstream rivers, both at high tide.. The horses that were gathered to create the Union cavalry forces were small and not raised for fast and heavy riding. . The Union .

The Pauravan Empire fields an army that is more than a match for the Macedonians.. . October 1, 331 BC. Strategic Context. In his quest to conquer the Persian Empire, Alexander the Great defeats Darius III in battle twice, at the River Granicus in 334 BC and Issus the following year. After neutralizing the Persian navy by capturing its ports along the Mediterranean coast, Alexander forces Darius to fight another battle, this time on the plain of Gaugamela. The night before battle, Darius keeps his army awake in expectation of a surprise night attack while Alexander gives his army much-needed rest. Not surprisingly, Alexander is able to march his army to the Persian left wing at dawn before Darius can respond.. . April 21, 1526. Strategic Context. Babur, descendant of both Tamerlane and Genghis Khan, attempts to assert his manifest authority by seizing Samarkand, but fails in the end and settles in the Kabul valley. In 1514, he realizes that there are too many mighty factions fighting for supremacy to the west and begins to look east. Babur builds up his strength and invades northwestern India in 1525 at the expense of the Delhi Sultanate, ruled by the increasingly unpopular Ibrahim Lodi dynasty. Ibrahim leads an army from Delhi and finds Babur’s Mughal army occupying a firm defensive position near the town of Panipat in 1526. For a week, the two armies wait for the other to launch an attack. Babur eventually orders a night raid which fails in disorder. However, the Mughals’ poor performance convinces Ibrahim to attack the next day.. . September, 52 BC. Strategic Context. Julius Caesar considers Gaul secure until it revolts under the leadership of Vercingetorix, an Arverni chieftain. Vercingetorix does not rely on an impulsive, barbarian offensive strategy as Caesar expects. Instead, the Gauls do not allow a decisive battle to take place for fear it will be a decisive defeat, and fight a partisan war by retreating and destroying everything behind them. Caesar grows impatient, especially after the failed assault against the fortress of Gergovia and the inconclusive skirmish at the Vingeanne. Vercingetorix retires to Alesia and Caesar follows; it appears Vercingetorix, pressured by his allies, is finally giving battle. . . June 28, 1709. Strategic Context. Charles XII of Sweden easily defeats the Russians at the Battle of Narva in 1700 at the outset of the Great Northern War, which involves all northern European powers at some point. Charles thus expects a quick victory when he invades Russia in winter 1707. However, he fails to bring Peter the Great’s revitalized army to a decisive battle in 1708. Rather than withdraw from the Smolensk river gate to a firm winter base, Charles opts to march south into the Ukraine to join with Mazeppa’s Cossacks who promise supplies and a 30,000 cavalry contingent. However, Peter learns of and then crushes the Cossack revolt, stranding Charles’ army in the Ukraine, now even further from his base in Poland and goal of Moscow. Charles advances east in 1709 and besieges Poltava as Peter concentrates his massive army along the Vorskla River. On June 17, Charles is struck by a bullet in the leg and is no longer able to walk. When Peter learns of this, he shifts his camp from the relatively safe Petrovka ford closer to the Swedish army; he fortifies his camp and begins building a system of redoubts in the hopes of an advantageous general engagement. Despite his injury, Charles resolves to attack, passing tactical command to Karl Rehnskjold.. [?], 530. Strategic Context. After a long period of peace, the Byzantine and Sassanid Empires fight a war 502-506, followed by a twenty-year truce. In 526, tensions rise between the two Empires and fighting begins to escalate. After a successful Byzantine raid into Sassanid Armenia in 529, Firuz leads a Sassanid army into Mesopotamia to capture the Byzantine fortress of Daras. Belisarius constructs a wide ditch and leads the Byzantine defenders outside Daras’ walls to do battle. He then sends a message to Firuz suggesting a short armistice to hold negotiations. Firuz interprets these two actions as a sign of weakness and resolves to attack.. July 28, 1402. Strategic Context. The clash between the Timurid and Ottoman Empires is not surprising in the early 1400s. Tamerlane’s Timurids conquer Syria and Iraq while Bayezid I’s Ottomans conquer eastern Anatolia. When Tamerlane invades eastern Anatolia in early summer 1402, Bayezid breaks off his siege of Byzantine Constantinople and marches east to face him. Along the way, he abandons a strong position at Ankara only for the Timurid army to vanish. Tamerlane completely evades Bayezid to only to reappear behind the Ottoman army at Ankara. Bayezid marches his exhausted army west to meet the Timurid invaders. Tamerlane diverts the Cubuk Creek and destroys all the wells around Ankara while he awaits his opponent; the Ottomans arrive at Ankara to find deceivingly sufficient fresh water.. . December 5, 1757.
