Cortez
Cortez was a explorer and he accomplished thing's though unimaginable but one thing he did really stood out he face 200,000 Aztec's with 200 unpaid starving cold wet miserable men and won how? First the Aztecs were armed with mostly bronze instead of metal which is weaker there armor is basically leather like cotton and the Aztecs already had learned that the armor was useless and didn't wear it. But still that 200,000 patrotic Aztecs and fed watered and paid against 200 men unpaid and starving so Cortez and about seventeen cavalry led the charge forward. The weapons the Spaniards use where pikes swords halberds no muskets or cannon because they lost those when they attacked the capital. So they charge forward and started hacking there way through the mass Cortez and his cavalry stamped goring and hacking there way through. Cortez seeing that numbers where prevailing and that the armor of his men where failing led a desperate attack on the captains and generals. Which won the day they killed many of them and the Aztecs retreated. Cortez also had with him about two thousand allies but they where armed like the Aztecs and the Aztecs had already destroyed there empire. After they won they made to friendly territory and Cortez raised about 500 more men and went back to fight.
