Lewenhaupt were never forced to surrender, he just surrendered. He had 18 000 men that was capable to fight against the Russians 8 000 at Perevolochna.
He was ordered to cross the river by the king, but did not and surrendered by his own will.
Beacuse of this the Swedish king never forgave him and he died in Russian hands 1719.
the video is wrong.. the russians should be behind a well guarded fortress, 40 000 troops. the swedes about 7000 troops, tired, hungry, exhuasted and sick. with almost no working guns.
@krirre You are wrong. Sweden had more like 18000 soldiers in the battle. For the final battle in Poltava the russians emtied the fortress and placed them outside where they fight the swedes.
Actually Charles XII was with the main fighting with the Life Guards in the center of the battlefield, he did not watch the battlefield from far away like Peter I did. Despite his shot wound in the foot Charles fought with his men.
@cabalacho fire by rank, you either have to research it in campaign, from technologies or if you want to use it in online games, play the late period mod
I am swedish myself and I think Charles move into Russia was a big, big mistake. Russian armies were not the same as in Narva 9 years earlier, Peter the Great had vastly reorganized his armies with more quality, weapons and tactics. If only the swedish cavalry was there... Excellent video 5* !
@Grottgreta In the beginning of the "crusade" the swedish army was much bigger than it was in Poltava.some say about 60 000 soldiers, other 40 000. But the russians managed to stay out of the way so the battle was delayed. At the end Sweden wanted to retreat back but thay hadn't got food and medicine for such an affair so thay had to attack and wish for the best.
why don't they do a movie about the battle of Narva
