    Agincourt I’d say is the most famous example of European combatants hitting the “Long trained soldiers vs cheaply equipped and drilled randos” wall.

    “The flower of french nobility wilted at agincourt.”

    Translation,

    “A bunch of inbred morons in heavy armor forgot that heavy things sink in the mud and become easy targets for massed arrow fire.”
