September, 1683
The Ottoman empire has by far the strongest military in Europe, nobody before has been able to stop them until a siege of the Austrian city of Vienna.
11,000 defenders held the city against 150,000 Ottomans, food and water was scarce and the Turks were bombarding the walls of the city attempting to break them down, they planted charges under the walls which collapsed a section, leading to a desperate hand to hand battle over the narrow breach
It seemed hopeless for the defenders. A lost battle and outnumbered 15:1
But, after a prayer to God to bless their wings 18,000 Polish and German Knights led by the ridiculously overpowered Polish Winged Hussars charged down into the Ottoman flank. In the largest cavalry charge in history
