I love the drummer boy going “What the fuck am I doing here...”
a common refrain in combat zones
Poor little tadpole!
"Join the army, they said. It'll make a man of you, they said... I don't think it's even gonna make me a teenager, at this rate."
It's a nice touch that after the battles done in the next scene you see Hagman making freinds with him.
@@peterclarke7240 😄 Nice one. 👍
That big Frenchman with the axe was based on a real guy. His name was Sous-Lieutenant Legros. He was giant and was nicknamed "The Crusher". Nice detail there.
As soon as I saw that guy, I remembered reading about him in Faces of Battle.
Same with the little Drummer boy. He was the only French soldier to survive inside the breach, because the English spared him (for obvious reasons)
@@pmadden1999 Thanks for that info. I didn't know about the drummer boy.
No problem. I actually didn’t know about The large Frenchman until I saw your comment. I found out about the boy after I look him up
Are the axemen like engineers or sappers
Fun fact: The French sapper who attacked with an axe is based on an actual soldier named Legros, who was huge and wielded an axe when the attacked Hougomont and broke through.
The Redcoat officer he attacked is also based on a real person. A colonel MacDonnell, I believe, he’s in the historical notes of the book.
"They've got a Cave Troll!"
It's "They have a Cave Troll".
its just budget helms deep
Nous avons un troll des cavernes!
@Rob But not more accurate.
Now that's Cave - Trollering.
Love the voltiguers, they're basically Sharpe and his boys but on the other side
@@incognito9292 they still kill just as many
plus garlic
No match for Sharpe and the chosen men of the South Essex.
There's actually a funny scene in the books where a voltigeur comes across Rossendale's dying body. He steals Rossendale's trousers, then uses Rossendale's body to steady his musket so he can aim and fire it. Then Rossendale begs for death, and the voltigeur is like: "I can't do that, that would be rude!" before giving the man an affectionate pat on the shoulder and going back to rejoin his company.
@@Former_Halo_Fan Haha brutal. Poor old John though, Jane was the cause of 90% of his problems with Sharpe
2:58 Kid's reaction like "WTF am I doing here?"
Damn you Sharpe! You killed my best sappeur!
@Godd Howard RIP
"Well, I ain't lettin 'em near any of the King's sentries!"
Got 1000xp for it though
*VIVE L’EMPEREUR* !!! 🇫🇷🦅
Ces anglais avec leurs fusils … ils ne savent se battre au sabre ou à la baïonnette des que l’on parle de duel il faut qu’ils sortent leurs fusils.
2:58, when you lie on your resume but still get the job.
lol i didnt even have to click the timestamp to know what u meant
This attack is actually based on a record of a soldier's journal at Waterloo. In the soldier's journal they describes the courtyard, the attack, including the French breeching the gates and the British managing to close them again and even the little drummer boy. The soldier wrote that he hid the drummer boy in the farm house. Sparing his life.
The age for drummers was quite low since it wasn’t as physically demanding and technically wouldn’t have to fight. They would just have to learn the calls and march to battle
Thats soldiering!
How mount and blade Napoleonic wars felt on minisiege
Still feels that way man
Do you still play
@@rhysnichols8608may the game never die!
@@arturocavendish6859
What’s your name on minisiege?? I haven’t played since last year I’m gonna come back on soon
1:28 - "Shit......"
Underrated moment in Sharpe.
This was the best battle scene in the whole series, and there were a few great ones.
That one french soldier at 3:14 with the ax and beard must have been from normandy; Causes he's swing that ax around shouting like a viking berserker.
French engineers were specified to be big burly bearded bastards by Napoleon. To be terror troops as well as do sapping work.
Yep, it is mandatory to have a long beard if you want to serve in the sappers. These are men who was picked from the Grenadiers, as the rules to serve in Grenadiers you must be a tall man.
Although his uniform is incorrect, being as he was a Sous-Lieutenant, the mans name is Legros, which literally translates as "the large" and his nickname was "the smasher", he'd been a pioneer sergeant in the Grande Armee, but retired after Napoleons abdication in 1814, and was promoted on re-joining the colours in the hundred days in 1815. Much as is shown here, he managed to batter down the gates and with about 30 men enter the courtyard, Colonel MacDonald, who was the commander of the 2nd Coldstreams, led a number of officers, around the Frenchmen, and closed the gate from behind them, before turning on them, all 30 of them were wiped out, supposedly Legros had multiple shot and stab wounds, showing he didn't go easily, and as is shown here, only the drummer boy survived.
Now that's soldiering.
I got really impressed by that french sapper
edited:also am I the one who keeps seeing the same french officer dying like 4 times
Because the French usually don't do anything in the series
Yes. He was my best sappeur!
Like the "end of level boss" music that came in when Macduff goes for him.
That the big dude in the blood covered apron with the axe? Was kind of hoping he didnt get killed - theres a story to be told about that guy.
daverage47 I think he is based on the officer who led the attack a lieutenant Legros who did wield an axe during the attack and after the closing of the gates was killed along with all of his remaining men with the exception of a single drummer boy.
the french sapper with the axe, thats epic .
Finding the biggest, beardiest most Axe-wielding frog you can and taking him out in hand to hand combat.
Now that's Soldiering.
It could also be a reference to how he killed the Sultans bodyguard.
He'd be the biggest point of attackers morale. Get him down and rest will.loss hope.
....Harper got down the barn ladder and out the door bloody quick at 2:37 considering he had been standing next to Sharpe only seconds before!
I thought that exact thing too. Then remembered that these videos are butchered, so it probably made sense on the show proper.
There’s a few moments like that specifically with Harper in Sharpe’s Waterloo
Teleporting around the battlefield to get a better view of the tactical situation? Now _that's_ soldiering!
Also the drummer boy vanishing in the wide shot, and all subsequent shots, after his close up. But it happens. They didn't exactly have the budget of movies today, nor the need for the same level of continuity-keeping between shots. In probably half of the videos on youtube have some noticeable detail wrong between cuts.
He covered that distance in 11 seconds, Sharpe does it a moment later in 2 seconds!
1:54 this reminds me of Holdfast when ppl camp on the roofs only to be picked off by cannons or rockets. Good times. lol
Yeah lmao
Apparently this happened. Frenchie with an axe bust in the door at Hougoumont. Fortunately the Brits and allies closed the door again and wiped out the intruders. I see Sharpe dispatched the axe man. Now that's soldiering
I know what's coming and I both want to see it, and never see it again.
harris and Hagman :(
I kind of hope he forgets that clip. Not sure I'll be able to watch it and not cry.
3:29 - Someone stop that supersized Gimli!
Noone can stop Gimli. Not an Orc, not an Uruk, and definitely not a redcoat. (Except for Sharpe he can kill him).
I'm not sure the French Sapper was named Gimli, but he would certainly have done Durin proud with that axe, surrounded by enemies. BTW, that scene with the sapper is drawn from an actual event.
@@paulpeterson4216 can you send a link please
@@juancarlosdegoya2757 I am sorry that I can not. I do recall reading the story, probably in a David Chandler book. He is one of, if not the, leading historian of the Napoleonic Wars.
Gimli was killed by Boromir.
This is probably one of the few scenes where we see a rifleman actually use a sword bayonet as it’s namesake.
By far the best CQB battle I've ever seen.
Plenty of soldiering here! Nice to see Hagman and Harris got their stripes - well deserved. Harris gave that guy a beautiful wallop with his rifle butt at 4.19. Right in the chops!
2:58
Me as a kid when your with a bunch of adults not knowing what to do or what is going on.
Edit: also the kid at 3:24 when the adults starts screaming at each other
*Imma just protect my iPad*
oh hi dumangs
Sharpe's always welcome when it comes up in my recommendations. Wish they had shown the scene when they save the drummer boy though. Great bit of showing mercy in the heat of battle that.
Before this scene Witherspoon came over to ask Sharpe what time it was, and so he did, but also told Witherspoon they're coming, the french. And Sharpe asks will you be joining us sir? Witherspoon replies something like , how kind of you, but unfortunately I'm on the dukes side of the family and he never let's us have any of the fun.
I love the dramatic way they role and fall, resemble kids playing in the courtyard :)
They make the same sounds, too.

timestamp?
Nobody:
Every comment section from every Sharpe youtube video: "NOW THATS DAMN FINE SOLDIERING!!!!"
I haven't seen Sharpe other than a few clips om youtube. It looks like a show that could be remade with quite some success.
coolest series
Only Sharp can kill the big man with the big axe
However, I do wish the fight between them was a bit longer
new Blood & Iron update looks epic
This part of the battle (farm house) was the key to the battle of Waterloo. LTC in command is said to have closed the gate on Napoleon. This scene is very correct. Hat off to the writers.
Except his name was MacDonald not McDuff, he was Colonel in the Coldstream Guards not Kings German Legion and was at Hougamont not La Hay Saint
@@Apollo890 Except his name was Sir James Macdonell and he was a Lieutenant colonel
Wrong farm house. This is la haye Sainte, which was about 100m from the centre of the allied front line. Hougoumont was the real key, and where the famous gate thing happened.
Skirmishing fighting ,now this true soldiering !
Driving the French out of Le Haye Sainte.
Now that's Waterlooing!
Robert Wake Its actually Hougoumont.
@@MRB1157 Now, I thought this, but earlier in the episode the Prince of Orange bangs on about being at LHS and is the only one mentioned in the episode. From that, I could only derive that this is LHS, which actually fell (but isn't depicted in this) as opposed to Hougomont which never fell but I don't think the French ever managed to breach it in the amount shown as above.
And that my friend is thought processing.
Robert Wake I haven't watch this series yet, but historically Hougoumont was the first position to be attacked during the opening stage of the battle. The French pushed the Dutch light infantry back from the woods in front of Hougoumont, before their assault. They actually did breach the gate, but they were pushed back. Hougoumont was defended by the Coldstream Guards, while Le Haye Sainte was defended by the King's German Legion. From what I remember Hougoumont was assaulted only once, as a diversionary attack. while Le Haye Sainte was assaulted twice and fell on the second. Well that's what I remember from the top of my head.
I thought Hougoumont started off as a diversionary attack but eventually became a slogging match due to repeated attacks. Rest makes sense, didn't know about the gate breach though.
As for the fact you haven't seen the series, I suggest you do, low budget but it's pretty enjoyable as are the books.
Also, as an aside, I don't think Hougoumont is mentioned at all in the episode (been a while since I watched it all) hence my thinking that this was LHS as Prince of Orange orders Sharpe there to man the defences. So, logically, based on the dialogue in the episode, I took this to be LHS.
Average match in Blood and Iron be like:
AUGH, AAAWW
0:21 the noise you make when you step on a lego
Question...Which came first? Caltrops to halt horses and troops, or Lego?
That was good action!
The French Sapper went Berserk right here
Teleporting from the hayloft to the barn door?
Thats soldiering!!
That’s Harpering
Gotta love the 90s special effects
3:24 lil bro is invisible 💀🙏
I cannot be the only one that hears the marselleise as the background noise and think, good the good guys are winning hehehehe. Loved the books and I intend no insult to anybody. Just popped in my mind
I like the bit where Harper rescues Sharpe from the bayonet wielding Frenchman. In the build up to that battle scene Sharpe says to Harper 'So you promise to stay out of trouble so you shall?' The look Sharpe gives Harper when he saves him is like: 'I thought you'd stay out of trouble.' Harper is like: 'Trouble follows you around so it does, and so do I.'
2:25 teleportation powers, aye that's soldiering!
My god but that is an intense scene
It was in life. Everything depended on Hougamount, La Haye and the third farm NOT falling. Loss of just one would let Napoleon past and win. Wellington had to hold til the Prussians arrived. La Haye fell about 5pm or so. But french only had it for about an hour. Blucher and pressing arrived and together he and Wellington pushed back and won the day. It was a bloody near miss and either side could have won.
finally something well history correct moment :)
Engineer is on fire!!!
That mount and musket mod though ...
Colonel MacDuff KGL, fighting alongside Lt. Col. Sharpe, this moment where Sharpe saved his life, will pay off.
Good old MacDuff. He knew about soldiering and supporting the man fighting by him.
Being that one French soldier at 3:45 attempting to stab an English one with his bayonet and realizing the plot armor is too strong and it's useless.
2:46 Who'd have thought La Marseille could sound as menacing as the Imperial March?
" Wars are easier than daughters. " - Lord Eddard Stark
What does Harris say at the end? I got frogs and I can guess it wasn't a compliment but I'm curious as I love this show!
It sounds French. The transcripts say that he says "A cette niche, Frogs!".
"A cette niche" literally means 'to this niche', but it could also mean "to this hole". In english the meaning would be something like "go back to your hole" or, more simply, "get lost".
Full disclosure: This is my best guess as I don't speak French.
This is just like the welcome we got at the French chalet a few years back
2:21 NICE SHOOT
*SHOT*
NOICE
1:12 for the extra smiling inappropriately.
Nice title
Is this huogomont in waterloo battle?
Where is the fort in this video?
Everybody "Gangsta".... till they close the gate behind you.
Having a good old scrap with the French for a farmstead.
Now that's soldiering!
Do it for Yorkshire Pat !!!
Good thing for sharpe he never has to reload his rifle
Poor drummer boy at least he stood aside when his comrades entered the farm.
1:47 The extra messed up even the extra next to him seems surprised.
4:56 Poor McDuff
Some of those sword slashes were quite unconvincing.
Such great battle footage, such a low budget. Not a drop of CGI.
1:31 Someone looks happy to have a spoken part...

That was honestly kinda funny how cheesy that was.
always though he should've used the corpse as cover.
Basically use it as drapes for his impromptu window.
Dipping a thin strip of hot buttered toast into a soft boiled runny egg, that's soldiering.
Teleporting from the top floor of a building to ground? Now that's Harpering
ahahah i noticed that too
2:27 Hello
"This isn't what my parents had in mind when they sent me here." 2:58
if i were only listening and not watching, i'd have thought major lennox came back to life to help shahp.
Must have wanted an Eagle for himself, so he came back from.the dead
Either that or he wanted to take one pace forward to steady the line like he did at Assaye
*MAJOR LENNOX PAID FOR WITH HIS LIFE!*
Those sappuers at 3:15 are just French version of Berskers change my mind.
2:30 - That man could've still be alive, you know...
tbh id like a backstory of the french sapper grenadier as im pretty sure he was based on a real character
The guy was massive, can't see him not getting shot by the rifles sooner or later, huge target.
I like that kid at 3:00 looks like he has no idea what’s going on
4.30 Harper leaning against barn door
Getting covered in shit before you've even fired a shot.
Now that's soldiering.
is... is that music from Blazing Saddles? holy shit lmao
Bringing an axe to a gunfight?
Maintenant c'est du soldat.
@ 1:28 When your shi++y day just got shi++ier.
Shooting off horseback and foot officers and musicians? That's ungentlemanly!
is it a war crime shooting at drummers and flute.
@@aron5835 Not in the Napoleonic wars it wasn't
The Geneva conversation wasn’t a thing till 1881
@@aron5835 It was murder, not war crime.
War is hell, skirmishers always aimed for officers and NCOs first.
Since volley fire for line infantry was only the way to hit anything with muskets, they'd put a wall of lead down, musket balls do not discriminate in who they hit.
They would aim for the front of the column to break the momentum and to keep dropping the front ranks, since a column can only fire from the front ranks.
It's how the British broke columns before they could form into line.
Prince of orange - Sharpe hold the gate.
Sharpe- they have got a cave troll !!
2:58 "Go to Waterloo they said; your Mom wouldn't know they said! Fuuuck!"
Is it 125th infantry on foot ?
Laughing Cavalier said this and i have to agree these men are the King's German Legion i would have liked to have a German voice or for them to have German accents, also Cavalier is correct Sharpe really is the Napoleonic version of Goblin slayer
Of who ?
Got to respect Macduff taking on that big dude with the axe by himself. That’s the Scot’s for you, never one to back down from a fight. Good thing they were on our side
The bearded men with the axes were sappers, what we would call combat engineers.
Ofc... Sharpie was in Hougoumont.
Stabbing an insane axe wielding chef to death.....now that’s soldiering
He’s not a chef he’s a sapper, and of the imperial guard by the looks of it
No wonder he was hard to kill
@@ieatmice751 he looks like a chef cuz he has an apron
Eating french Drummer boys...
Now that’s soldiering!
The French soldier with the axe was badass. So what happened to the little French kid with the drum?
Well he got hidden by an Englishman so he wouldn't be hurt. Survived.
First series where that actor don't die in the first 12 seconds
2:58 that kid just looking like boi what da hew is going on here
