[overlapping shouting]
3
00:00:08,155 --> 00:00:09,539
Fire!
4
00:00:09,573 --> 00:00:11,880
Okay, guys, we are
talking about George Washington
5
00:00:11,914 --> 00:00:13,389
and his continental army
6
00:00:13,424 --> 00:00:17,579
versus Napoleon Bonaparte
and his Grande armee.
7
00:00:17,613 --> 00:00:20,449
Both of them were fighting
in the age of revolutions,
8
00:00:20,484 --> 00:00:22,149
only 20 years apart,
9
00:00:22,184 --> 00:00:25,255
but never met on the battlefield
until today.
10
00:00:25,289 --> 00:00:27,024
- These guys
are larger-than-life figures--
11
00:00:27,058 --> 00:00:29,159
the generals of generals.
12
00:00:29,193 --> 00:00:32,126
Napoleon was driven.
He was obsessed with war.
13
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:35,263
He wanted to take all of Europe
and make it his.
14
00:00:35,298 --> 00:00:36,697
When you think
of George Washington,
15
00:00:36,732 --> 00:00:38,731
that ability to be patient,
16
00:00:38,765 --> 00:00:40,831
to motivate his troops
against the British,
17
00:00:40,865 --> 00:00:42,531
essentially led America
18
00:00:42,566 --> 00:00:46,065
to become
its own independent nation.
19
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:48,666
One becomes known
as the father of his country.
20
00:00:48,701 --> 00:00:51,599
The other becomes known
as the God of war.
21
00:00:51,634 --> 00:00:53,501
I think this is gonna be
the best matchup
22
00:00:53,535 --> 00:00:54,868
on Deadliest Warrior.
23
00:00:54,903 --> 00:00:56,669
Napoleon Bonaparte...
24
00:00:56,703 --> 00:00:59,470
The bloodthirsty
French emperor
25
00:00:59,505 --> 00:01:02,206
whose maniacal dream
was to conquer the world,
26
00:01:02,241 --> 00:01:04,143
or George Washington,
27
00:01:04,178 --> 00:01:06,912
the American hero,
who against all odds
28
00:01:06,947 --> 00:01:09,281
defeated
the mighty British army.
29
00:01:09,315 --> 00:01:11,981
Now, 200 years of speculation
will be buried
30
00:01:12,016 --> 00:01:15,415
when these two titans of war
finally face off.
31
00:01:18,854 --> 00:01:20,488
To find out,
32
00:01:20,522 --> 00:01:24,025
the history of war
and modern science collide...
33
00:01:24,059 --> 00:01:26,892
As former Navy seal
Richard "mack" machowicz
34
00:01:26,927 --> 00:01:29,261
dives deep into the tactics
of the warriors
35
00:01:29,295 --> 00:01:31,497
behind the weapons.
36
00:01:31,531 --> 00:01:33,500
Biomedical engineer
Geoff desmoulin
37
00:01:33,534 --> 00:01:35,934
applies
21st-century technology
38
00:01:35,969 --> 00:01:39,138
to unlock new data
on arsenals of the past.
39
00:01:39,173 --> 00:01:41,874
And E.R. physician
Armand Dorian
40
00:01:41,908 --> 00:01:43,476
dissects the trauma
41
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:46,444
and reveals the physical
and psychological traits
42
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:49,048
that shaped
these legends of war.
43
00:01:49,083 --> 00:01:50,415
This groundbreaking data
44
00:01:50,450 --> 00:01:53,284
will be paired
with historical research
45
00:01:53,318 --> 00:01:55,952
and entered into an all-new
digital combat engine.
46
00:01:55,986 --> 00:01:59,255
Two legendary combatants
will be resurrected.
47
00:01:59,290 --> 00:02:00,856
History will be rewritten.
48
00:02:00,890 --> 00:02:03,891
But only one will be crowned...
49
00:02:03,926 --> 00:02:06,659
Deadliest warrior.
50
00:02:06,693 --> 00:02:09,194
Welcome to the fight club.
51
00:02:09,228 --> 00:02:11,862
Here, our experts will unlock
historical secrets
52
00:02:11,896 --> 00:02:14,362
and battlefield strategies
to decide
53
00:02:14,397 --> 00:02:17,365
which revolutionary-age general
is deadliest...
54
00:02:17,399 --> 00:02:19,799
- Aah!
- Napoleon Bonaparte,
55
00:02:19,833 --> 00:02:22,468
the brutal French warlord
and emperor
56
00:02:22,503 --> 00:02:25,170
who terrorized Europe
and left millions dead
57
00:02:25,204 --> 00:02:26,238
in his bloody wake,
58
00:02:26,272 --> 00:02:28,039
or George Washington,
59
00:02:28,074 --> 00:02:30,407
America's first
general-turned-president,
60
00:02:30,442 --> 00:02:33,443
who waged an unconventional
guerilla war
61
00:02:33,478 --> 00:02:35,311
that defeated
the British empire
62
00:02:35,345 --> 00:02:37,647
and created the world's
most powerful nation.
63
00:02:37,681 --> 00:02:38,881
This is a special episode
to me,
64
00:02:38,916 --> 00:02:40,616
because you're talking
about two
65
00:02:40,650 --> 00:02:42,818
of maybe the greatest generals
in history.
66
00:02:42,852 --> 00:02:44,618
When you think of Napoleon,
67
00:02:44,653 --> 00:02:46,820
you understand his brilliance
on the battlefield,
68
00:02:46,855 --> 00:02:48,188
and it's still studied today.
69
00:02:48,222 --> 00:02:50,956
Washington takes necessity
70
00:02:50,990 --> 00:02:52,524
and turns it into a virtue
71
00:02:52,559 --> 00:02:55,025
against the most powerful army
at that time.
72
00:02:55,059 --> 00:02:57,895
- Mack, these guys
are larger-than-life figures,
73
00:02:57,929 --> 00:02:59,228
and so I like breaking it down
74
00:02:59,262 --> 00:03:00,663
and actually looking
at the tale of the tape.
75
00:03:00,697 --> 00:03:03,766
George Washington was 6'3",
200 pounds.
76
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,799
That's a big guy for his time.
77
00:03:05,834 --> 00:03:07,067
And then you compare Napoleon.
78
00:03:07,101 --> 00:03:10,068
You know, he has that reputation
of being this short guy.
79
00:03:10,103 --> 00:03:13,770
Actually, he was 5'6".
He wasn't that short--
80
00:03:13,804 --> 00:03:15,805
about 140 pounds.
81
00:03:15,839 --> 00:03:18,806
But then when we look at their
own personal health--disaster.
82
00:03:18,841 --> 00:03:21,442
George Washington
deals with malaria.
83
00:03:21,477 --> 00:03:23,478
He had smallpox as a child.
84
00:03:23,512 --> 00:03:26,079
Napoleon
had severe insomnia--
85
00:03:26,114 --> 00:03:29,115
not the best state to be in
if you're gonna be a general.
86
00:03:29,149 --> 00:03:30,349
For me,
it's about the weapons,
87
00:03:30,383 --> 00:03:32,985
and these guys operated
in the age of revolutions.
88
00:03:33,019 --> 00:03:34,985
That means we are talking
about cannons.
89
00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:37,188
There's no question, guys,
that is is gonna be
90
00:03:37,222 --> 00:03:38,721
one of our best matchups yet,
91
00:03:38,756 --> 00:03:41,724
but we've got to make sure
that it's set up properly
92
00:03:41,759 --> 00:03:42,792
for the SIM.
93
00:03:42,826 --> 00:03:45,093
The new digital combat engine
94
00:03:45,128 --> 00:03:47,129
was created
by former green beret
95
00:03:47,163 --> 00:03:49,730
and military-based game designer
Robert daly.
96
00:03:49,764 --> 00:03:52,232
His latest high-tech creation
97
00:03:52,267 --> 00:03:54,567
will incorporate
complex weapons data,
98
00:03:54,601 --> 00:03:56,068
damage probabilities,
99
00:03:56,103 --> 00:03:58,970
and more than 100 different
"x" factors--
100
00:03:59,004 --> 00:04:01,573
critical intangibles
that are given numeric values
101
00:04:01,607 --> 00:04:04,341
based on analysis
of the warriors' lives,
102
00:04:04,376 --> 00:04:07,077
tactics,
and psychological profiles.
103
00:04:07,111 --> 00:04:09,611
When you look at both
Washington and Napoleon,
104
00:04:09,645 --> 00:04:11,979
the biggest "x" factor you're
gonna look at is generalship.
105
00:04:12,014 --> 00:04:14,381
One dealt
with limited resources
106
00:04:14,415 --> 00:04:17,016
and had to fight a guerilla war
with the British.
107
00:04:17,051 --> 00:04:18,850
On the other hand,
you have Napoleon,
108
00:04:18,884 --> 00:04:21,920
who's moving large bodies
of troops over massive areas.
109
00:04:21,954 --> 00:04:24,688
Doing battle for Napoleon...
110
00:04:24,723 --> 00:04:27,158
Revolutionary war era
musket and sword specialist
111
00:04:27,192 --> 00:04:29,125
mathew cape.
112
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,927
Napoleon was the God of war.
113
00:04:30,961 --> 00:04:33,762
His equipment was the best.
His tactics were unbeatable.
114
00:04:33,796 --> 00:04:35,197
And his men
were the best trained
115
00:04:35,231 --> 00:04:36,531
that there was at the time.
116
00:04:36,566 --> 00:04:38,032
Unlocking the secrets
117
00:04:38,066 --> 00:04:40,001
of Napoleon's
battlefield strategies,
118
00:04:40,035 --> 00:04:42,203
historian phillipe Simon.
119
00:04:54,316 --> 00:04:57,218
Napoleon's ingenious
battlefield tactics
120
00:04:57,252 --> 00:04:59,419
are legendary.
121
00:04:59,454 --> 00:05:01,655
He changed the concept
of the army.
122
00:05:01,689 --> 00:05:04,990
He was convinced
that artillery and cavalry
123
00:05:05,024 --> 00:05:07,658
could easily take over
any infantry regiment
124
00:05:07,693 --> 00:05:08,960
anywhere in Europe.
125
00:05:08,995 --> 00:05:12,830
In the early 1800s,
Napoleon marched across Europe,
126
00:05:12,865 --> 00:05:15,033
crushing every army
in his path.
127
00:05:15,067 --> 00:05:16,601
He really wanted
to destroy you.
128
00:05:16,636 --> 00:05:18,335
He didn't want you
to run away.
129
00:05:18,369 --> 00:05:19,836
He didn't want to have
a second battle.
130
00:05:22,073 --> 00:05:26,775
In 1804, Napoleon proclaimed
himself emperor for life
131
00:05:26,810 --> 00:05:28,643
and launched
a vicious reign of terror
132
00:05:28,677 --> 00:05:30,811
that killed
more than two million people.
133
00:05:30,845 --> 00:05:32,511
Now we'll witness one
134
00:05:32,546 --> 00:05:34,847
of history's
most dreamed-about battles,
135
00:05:34,881 --> 00:05:36,515
as the bloodthirsty emperor
136
00:05:36,549 --> 00:05:38,716
confronts
his most formidable foe--
137
00:05:38,750 --> 00:05:41,719
the gentleman warrior,
general George Washington.
138
00:05:41,753 --> 00:05:44,120
Wielding Washington's weapons,
139
00:05:44,154 --> 00:05:47,588
competitive swordsman
and 18th-century firearms expert
140
00:05:47,623 --> 00:05:49,890
Paul suda.
141
00:05:49,925 --> 00:05:51,525
Washington
had a very clear goal in mind.
142
00:05:51,559 --> 00:05:53,326
He set himself
to accomplish that goal
143
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,961
with the resources
he had on hand.
144
00:05:54,995 --> 00:05:56,763
And he came in
with less than he wanted
145
00:05:56,797 --> 00:05:58,330
and ended up winning the war.
146
00:05:58,364 --> 00:06:01,767
Analyzing Washington's life
and war tactics...
147
00:06:01,801 --> 00:06:03,601
Retired army officer
148
00:06:03,635 --> 00:06:06,237
and university of north Carolina
history Professor
149
00:06:06,272 --> 00:06:08,573
Dr. Wayne Lee.
150
00:06:08,607 --> 00:06:09,674
Washington's a big guy.
151
00:06:09,708 --> 00:06:11,342
His presence
on the battlefield,
152
00:06:11,377 --> 00:06:12,810
the way he carried himself--
153
00:06:12,844 --> 00:06:14,845
in the 18th century, that really
meant a lot to people.
154
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,447
As a young man,
155
00:06:16,482 --> 00:06:18,582
Washington fought
for the British army
156
00:06:18,616 --> 00:06:21,017
during
the French and Indian war.
157
00:06:21,052 --> 00:06:23,018
He discovered firsthand
the deadly advantage
158
00:06:23,052 --> 00:06:26,154
of his native enemy's
hit-and-run strategies.
159
00:06:26,188 --> 00:06:29,022
Years later, in 1775,
160
00:06:29,057 --> 00:06:30,991
as commander
of the continental army
161
00:06:31,025 --> 00:06:32,825
in America's
war of independence,
162
00:06:32,859 --> 00:06:35,760
Washington used these same
lethal guerilla tactics
163
00:06:35,795 --> 00:06:38,095
to gain an edge
against the British.
164
00:06:38,129 --> 00:06:40,163
Outmanned and outgunned,
165
00:06:40,198 --> 00:06:42,398
he backed up
his larger conventional army
166
00:06:42,433 --> 00:06:45,101
with small unit
state militias.
167
00:06:45,136 --> 00:06:46,436
He's gonna use that militia
168
00:06:46,471 --> 00:06:48,337
in ways that are a little bit
more unconventional--
169
00:06:48,372 --> 00:06:50,806
raids on a detachment here,
raid on a detachment there.
170
00:06:50,841 --> 00:06:52,874
They cover the ground
and make it difficult
171
00:06:52,908 --> 00:06:54,809
for the British to operate.
172
00:06:54,844 --> 00:06:56,211
And then you create a moment
173
00:06:56,245 --> 00:06:57,912
when you can use
your conventional army
174
00:06:57,946 --> 00:07:00,113
to try to fight that big battle
to win in the end.
175
00:07:00,148 --> 00:07:02,148
Fire!
176
00:07:02,182 --> 00:07:04,517
Washington's hybrid
combination worked,
177
00:07:04,551 --> 00:07:06,952
and in 1783,
the British surrendered.
178
00:07:06,987 --> 00:07:09,221
A new nation was born,
179
00:07:09,256 --> 00:07:12,457
and its greatest general
became its first president.
180
00:07:12,491 --> 00:07:14,926
We're using
this historical data
181
00:07:14,961 --> 00:07:17,561
in the simulator this year,
but to make it complete,
182
00:07:17,595 --> 00:07:19,196
we've got to get you
some weapons data.
183
00:07:19,230 --> 00:07:20,597
[Canon fires]
184
00:07:20,632 --> 00:07:22,198
Warfare
in the revolutionary age
185
00:07:22,232 --> 00:07:24,867
was dominated
by long-range Cannon fire.
186
00:07:24,901 --> 00:07:28,570
Now these battlefield titans'
heavy artillery
187
00:07:28,604 --> 00:07:30,805
will go head-to-head.
188
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,107
General Napoleon
will blast off this battle
189
00:07:33,141 --> 00:07:35,009
with the 8-pound Cannon--
190
00:07:35,043 --> 00:07:38,278
machine-bored
for maximum lethal precision.
191
00:07:38,312 --> 00:07:39,813
- It's called an 8-pounder,
192
00:07:39,847 --> 00:07:42,114
because it shoots
8-pound cannonballs.
193
00:07:42,148 --> 00:07:45,017
It is about 6 foot long,
which make it very accurate.
194
00:07:45,051 --> 00:07:47,018
The bore is about
106 millimeter,
195
00:07:47,052 --> 00:07:48,453
and the ball itself
is only 103.
196
00:07:48,487 --> 00:07:52,289
So the precision of the shots
were extreme
197
00:07:52,324 --> 00:07:54,525
due to the expertise
of those builders.
198
00:07:54,559 --> 00:07:57,194
Napoleon was a master
of artillery.
199
00:07:57,228 --> 00:08:00,430
As a junior officer, Napoleon
spent hours and hours,
200
00:08:00,464 --> 00:08:04,065
days after day,
studying Cannon ballistic.
201
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:06,367
- Napoleon's 8-pound Cannon
202
00:08:06,401 --> 00:08:08,269
will be tested
in an explosive shootout
203
00:08:08,303 --> 00:08:11,438
against Washington's
6-pound Cannon.
204
00:08:11,472 --> 00:08:13,340
For the first time
on Deadliest Warrior,
205
00:08:13,374 --> 00:08:15,342
we are gonna be
firing cannons.
206
00:08:15,377 --> 00:08:18,512
I'm gonna be assessing
the damage they can do
207
00:08:18,546 --> 00:08:20,280
and how accurate they are.
208
00:08:20,314 --> 00:08:22,681
We know both of these weapons
would have been crew served,
209
00:08:22,715 --> 00:08:25,049
so we're gonna have two of
our armorers to help you out.
210
00:08:25,083 --> 00:08:26,650
Forrest Taylor,
211
00:08:26,684 --> 00:08:29,219
one of the world's premier
weapons artificers,
212
00:08:29,253 --> 00:08:30,886
has painstakingly recreated
213
00:08:30,921 --> 00:08:33,288
Napoleon's
200-year-old Cannon.
214
00:08:33,323 --> 00:08:35,224
Each weapon will be fired
215
00:08:35,258 --> 00:08:38,092
from a deadly effective distance
of 200 yards.
216
00:08:38,127 --> 00:08:39,627
Take a look down range.
217
00:08:39,662 --> 00:08:42,462
To test the accuracy
and destructive capabilities
218
00:08:42,497 --> 00:08:45,132
of the 8-pounder,
the Napoleon team
219
00:08:45,166 --> 00:08:47,833
will fire four cannonballs
at a set of blue targets.
220
00:08:47,868 --> 00:08:51,235
The primary target
is a two-man artillery unit.
221
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:53,337
Beyond that,
an officers' quarters,
222
00:08:53,371 --> 00:08:55,305
containing four more targets,
223
00:08:55,339 --> 00:08:58,041
will gauge the cannonball's
shrapnel damage.
224
00:08:58,075 --> 00:08:59,942
Fire at will!
225
00:09:02,445 --> 00:09:04,446
[Laughter, applause]
Whoo!
226
00:09:04,481 --> 00:09:07,414
I'm actually surprised
it went that high, man.
227
00:09:07,449 --> 00:09:10,716
The first shot tears
through the officers' quarters
228
00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:13,952
and digs up the hillside,
but it misses every target.
229
00:09:13,987 --> 00:09:15,419
Thumb the piece!
230
00:09:15,453 --> 00:09:17,554
Reloading
is a dangerous process
231
00:09:17,589 --> 00:09:19,322
that can't be rushed.
232
00:09:19,357 --> 00:09:21,223
First, a leather thumb jacket
233
00:09:21,258 --> 00:09:22,892
seals the back of the gun
234
00:09:22,926 --> 00:09:25,394
as the barrel is cleared
of any debris.
235
00:09:25,428 --> 00:09:27,096
Clear.
236
00:09:27,130 --> 00:09:28,965
A damp sponge
creates a vacuum
237
00:09:28,999 --> 00:09:30,566
to kill any live embers.
238
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,934
Advance the round.
239
00:09:31,969 --> 00:09:34,670
- The black-powder charge
and cannonball
240
00:09:34,705 --> 00:09:37,706
are inserted
and carefully rammed.
241
00:09:37,741 --> 00:09:40,508
A vent pick
pierces the charge,
242
00:09:40,543 --> 00:09:42,977
and the hole is packed
with more black powder
243
00:09:43,012 --> 00:09:44,612
to trigger the round.
244
00:09:47,649 --> 00:09:49,584
[Laughter]
245
00:09:49,618 --> 00:09:51,752
Are you kidding?
246
00:09:51,787 --> 00:09:54,055
- Second shot--
direct hit.
247
00:09:54,089 --> 00:09:55,489
Wicked!
248
00:09:55,523 --> 00:09:58,458
- The Napoleon team
re-aims the Cannon
249
00:09:58,492 --> 00:10:00,626
to try to take out
the primary target.
250
00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:02,728
- I think we're right on.
- We're right on it.
251
00:10:02,762 --> 00:10:04,096
- Mm-hmm.
- All right.
252
00:10:04,130 --> 00:10:06,097
Oh, yeah, baby!
253
00:10:06,132 --> 00:10:08,599
- Oh-ho!
That was awesome!
254
00:10:08,634 --> 00:10:10,901
- Two hits--
one artillery crew,
255
00:10:10,935 --> 00:10:12,469
one officer inside.
256
00:10:12,503 --> 00:10:14,603
That's what I'm talking
about...
257
00:10:14,638 --> 00:10:16,205
Right here.
258
00:10:17,307 --> 00:10:21,743
- Oh-ho! Yeah!
[Laughter]
259
00:10:21,777 --> 00:10:23,978
Yeah, that's what
I'm talking about!
260
00:10:24,013 --> 00:10:26,546
The point of the exercise
was to take out the target.
261
00:10:26,581 --> 00:10:27,681
You've clearly done that.
262
00:10:27,715 --> 00:10:29,281
Look at this guy.
263
00:10:29,316 --> 00:10:31,017
And don't forget
the psychological impact
264
00:10:31,051 --> 00:10:33,886
of seeing the first guy
take that round, right?
265
00:10:33,921 --> 00:10:35,987
Then that guy gets replaced
with another guy.
266
00:10:36,022 --> 00:10:38,790
The second ball comes through
and rips that guy in half.
267
00:10:38,824 --> 00:10:40,257
And then the third ball
comes through
268
00:10:40,291 --> 00:10:41,759
and rips your Cannon down.
269
00:10:41,793 --> 00:10:43,494
And when you're talking
about the "x" factors
270
00:10:43,528 --> 00:10:46,062
of psychological warfare
and domination,
271
00:10:46,096 --> 00:10:48,398
you've got both of them
that we'll plug into the SIM.
272
00:10:48,432 --> 00:10:50,332
And then think
about accuracy, mack.
273
00:10:50,367 --> 00:10:52,301
Look at the grouping
we have here.
274
00:10:52,335 --> 00:10:54,869
In this tight space,
some rifles aren't this good,
275
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:57,772
and this 8-pound ball was able
to hit three targets
276
00:10:57,807 --> 00:11:00,207
in a small group like this
200 yards out.
277
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:02,109
- Take a look here...
- That's what I'm talking about.
278
00:11:02,143 --> 00:11:04,777
Decapitated by a cannonball.
279
00:11:04,812 --> 00:11:07,446
Then he's got shrapnel
right into his chest.
280
00:11:07,481 --> 00:11:09,548
The main difference
between Napoleon and Washington
281
00:11:09,582 --> 00:11:12,451
is Napoleon
had trained soldiers.
282
00:11:18,123 --> 00:11:19,822
- What do you think, Wayne?
- We're gonna be able
283
00:11:19,857 --> 00:11:21,991
to basically do the same kind
of damage with a lighter Cannon
284
00:11:22,025 --> 00:11:23,926
that's going to be
a lot more maneuverable.
285
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,328
Will you be using
apples or oranges?
286
00:11:26,362 --> 00:11:28,963
Coming up,
the carnage continues
287
00:11:28,997 --> 00:11:30,798
as the battle heats up.
288
00:11:30,832 --> 00:11:32,633
This guy's just
completely obliterated.
289
00:11:32,667 --> 00:11:34,567
And later,
the body count rises
290
00:11:34,601 --> 00:11:36,168
in a bloody
firing-line showdown.
291
00:11:36,202 --> 00:11:37,636
The commander's down.
292
00:11:37,671 --> 00:11:38,736
Avance!
293
00:11:38,771 --> 00:11:40,938
Napoleon, Washington...
294
00:11:40,973 --> 00:11:43,574
Who is deadliest?
Oh!
295
00:11:46,185 --> 00:11:47,270
I meant to tell you right now,
296
00:11:47,396 --> 00:11:51,274
no one understood artillery better
in Napoleon's days than Napoleon.
297
00:11:51,478 --> 00:11:53,556
He was the master of artillery.
298
00:11:53,698 --> 00:11:55,911
And artillery is the
key to battle.
299
00:12:02,479 --> 00:12:04,044
Napoleon Bonaparte...
300
00:12:04,078 --> 00:12:06,444
The merciless emperor
of France--
301
00:12:06,478 --> 00:12:08,644
his brutal strategy
of annihilation
302
00:12:08,678 --> 00:12:10,377
demolished his enemies....
303
00:12:10,411 --> 00:12:13,444
Versus
general George Washington,
304
00:12:13,478 --> 00:12:15,943
the legendary leader
of the continental army.
305
00:12:15,977 --> 00:12:17,843
Faced with sick
and deserting troops
306
00:12:17,877 --> 00:12:21,742
in the brutal winter of 1777
at valley forge,
307
00:12:21,777 --> 00:12:23,909
Washington's
determined leadership
308
00:12:23,944 --> 00:12:25,409
rallied crucial resources
309
00:12:25,443 --> 00:12:27,508
and pulled them through
to ultimate victory.
310
00:12:27,543 --> 00:12:29,942
He's been through
the real depths of despair
311
00:12:29,976 --> 00:12:33,008
in the early parts of the war,
with defeat after defeat.
312
00:12:33,042 --> 00:12:35,475
But nevertheless,
he's got this commitment.
313
00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:37,274
He's going to stay the course.
314
00:12:37,309 --> 00:12:39,374
And Washington's
personal qualities
315
00:12:39,409 --> 00:12:41,640
were really fundamental
to his success.
316
00:12:41,674 --> 00:12:42,906
Unh!
317
00:12:42,940 --> 00:12:44,972
In a test of damage
and accuracy,
318
00:12:45,006 --> 00:12:47,404
Napoleon's 8-pound Cannon
leaves little doubt
319
00:12:47,439 --> 00:12:49,504
why he was known
as the God of war.
320
00:12:49,539 --> 00:12:50,671
You guys see that?
321
00:12:50,706 --> 00:12:53,337
But Washington
had a much lighter
322
00:12:53,371 --> 00:12:56,036
and more mobile big gun
in his arsenal...
323
00:12:56,071 --> 00:12:58,003
The 6-pound Cannon,
324
00:12:58,037 --> 00:12:59,570
the fast-moving gun
325
00:12:59,604 --> 00:13:02,002
that forced britain
to wave the white flag.
326
00:13:02,036 --> 00:13:07,067
- Washington's 6-pound Cannon
fires a 6-pound cannonball.
327
00:13:07,102 --> 00:13:09,134
The gun itself
is cast from bronze.
328
00:13:09,168 --> 00:13:11,067
It's much lighter
than its iron counterpart.
329
00:13:11,101 --> 00:13:12,566
It's about 1,200 pounds
for the entire piece.
330
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,400
Washington
knows he needs cannons,
331
00:13:14,434 --> 00:13:15,766
but they're not available.
332
00:13:15,801 --> 00:13:18,600
So they take the materials
literally from church bells,
333
00:13:18,634 --> 00:13:21,532
from bronze fittings on ships,
and most famously,
334
00:13:21,567 --> 00:13:23,466
the statue of king George
in New York City.
335
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:24,933
They melt it.
336
00:13:24,966 --> 00:13:27,932
They're pouring it into a mold
around a piece of wood.
337
00:13:27,966 --> 00:13:30,599
And that's gonna have an effect
on its accuracy.
338
00:13:30,633 --> 00:13:32,065
But it's a thing
that Washington has to do.
339
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:33,832
They've got no other choice.
You use what you've got.
340
00:13:33,866 --> 00:13:37,565
The Washington team
will fire four cannonballs
341
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,932
at a set of red targets
200 yards downrange.
342
00:13:40,966 --> 00:13:43,065
Their primary target
is the Cannon.
343
00:13:43,099 --> 00:13:47,064
Two artillery soldiers and four
officers inside the quarters
344
00:13:47,098 --> 00:13:49,830
are secondary objectives.
345
00:13:49,864 --> 00:13:52,863
The Washington team
needs to top Napoleon's score
346
00:13:52,897 --> 00:13:54,329
of three soldiers
and the Cannon.
347
00:13:54,364 --> 00:13:56,829
Fire at will!
348
00:13:58,164 --> 00:13:59,897
- Holy...
- Nice!
349
00:13:59,931 --> 00:14:02,630
The first shot
blasts through both walls
350
00:14:02,664 --> 00:14:04,431
and tears up the hillside.
351
00:14:04,465 --> 00:14:06,698
But it is high
and misses the targets.
352
00:14:06,732 --> 00:14:09,098
Looks like a miniature
Cannon compared to ours.
353
00:14:09,133 --> 00:14:11,999
It's not
how big it is, buddy.
354
00:14:12,033 --> 00:14:14,299
It's how you use it.
355
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,532
Knocked part
of the porch roof down.
356
00:14:18,567 --> 00:14:20,332
- Shot two--also high.
357
00:14:20,367 --> 00:14:23,533
It hits the house
but misses the primary target.
358
00:14:23,567 --> 00:14:24,999
We were at 1 1/2 degrees.
359
00:14:25,033 --> 00:14:26,698
I think I want to get
to 2 degrees.
360
00:14:26,733 --> 00:14:28,932
The team uses
an elevation gauge
361
00:14:28,966 --> 00:14:30,998
to lower the angle
of trajectory.
362
00:14:31,033 --> 00:14:32,765
That looks good.
All right, hold it right there.
363
00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:35,232
Put her down.
364
00:14:36,766 --> 00:14:38,332
It skipped.
365
00:14:38,366 --> 00:14:41,365
The third shot
scores two instant kills inside.
366
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,900
I'd say that's on target.
367
00:14:42,934 --> 00:14:45,833
Lower the elevation and bring
it a little to the right.
368
00:14:45,868 --> 00:14:47,767
The team
only has one chance left
369
00:14:47,802 --> 00:14:49,567
to destroy the enemy Cannon.
370
00:14:49,601 --> 00:14:51,033
You're gonna hit it
on this one.
371
00:14:51,068 --> 00:14:52,800
I feel it.
Ready!
372
00:14:52,834 --> 00:14:54,567
I hope you do, doc.
373
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,699
- Oh!
- Oh!
374
00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:01,532
Nice!
Yes!
375
00:15:01,566 --> 00:15:03,832
Right down the barrel!
376
00:15:03,866 --> 00:15:05,264
If you can disable
the artillery,
377
00:15:05,298 --> 00:15:07,131
it doesn't matter
what these two guys are doing.
378
00:15:07,165 --> 00:15:09,130
They can no longer function
on the battlefield
379
00:15:09,165 --> 00:15:10,163
with their Cannon.
380
00:15:10,198 --> 00:15:12,130
Instant kill right here.
381
00:15:12,164 --> 00:15:13,664
And take a look at the wall.
382
00:15:13,698 --> 00:15:16,863
It's completely shattered there,
which means tons of shrapnel.
383
00:15:16,897 --> 00:15:19,130
All those are gonna increase
the chance of death.
384
00:15:19,165 --> 00:15:20,330
The accuracy
that we're getting
385
00:15:20,365 --> 00:15:22,097
is very comparable
to Napoleon,
386
00:15:22,131 --> 00:15:23,930
and given Washington's
logistical situation,
387
00:15:23,965 --> 00:15:25,497
he's getting
the same amount of damage.
388
00:15:25,531 --> 00:15:29,630
Your Cannon is 400 pounds
lighter than Napoleon's Cannon,
389
00:15:29,664 --> 00:15:32,097
and that has to factor in
when it comes to fatigue,
390
00:15:32,132 --> 00:15:34,097
and fatigue is an "x" factor
in our SIM.
391
00:15:34,132 --> 00:15:37,297
Our bore was actually drilled
by experts,
392
00:15:37,332 --> 00:15:39,631
making it very smooth
and precise.
393
00:15:39,665 --> 00:15:41,997
Their Cannon is not as accurate
as ours, you know,
394
00:15:42,031 --> 00:15:43,230
just from the building of it.
395
00:15:43,265 --> 00:15:46,730
The teams are locked
in a virtual dead heat.
396
00:15:46,764 --> 00:15:49,964
The clash of the cannons will be
decided by one final test--
397
00:15:49,998 --> 00:15:52,763
antipersonnel ammunition.
398
00:15:52,797 --> 00:15:55,063
These shorter-range
shrapnel rounds
399
00:15:55,098 --> 00:15:57,362
widen the field of fire,
400
00:15:57,397 --> 00:16:00,996
increasing the carnage
as enemy infantry closed in.
401
00:16:12,829 --> 00:16:14,695
Well, you know, Washington
would love to have grapeshot,
402
00:16:14,729 --> 00:16:16,362
but the logistics was
a major problem for him,
403
00:16:16,397 --> 00:16:17,861
and he uses scattershot.
404
00:16:17,896 --> 00:16:19,961
So he's gonna take anything
he can get--nails, chain.
405
00:16:19,996 --> 00:16:22,061
You shove that down the barrel,
and at close range,
406
00:16:22,096 --> 00:16:24,327
when it comes out of that thing,
it's gonna do a lot of damage.
407
00:16:24,361 --> 00:16:26,027
Well, that's great,
'cause we're going to test
408
00:16:26,062 --> 00:16:28,660
both the damage
and dispersion pattern
409
00:16:28,694 --> 00:16:32,226
of Washington's scattershot
and Napoleon's grapeshot.
410
00:16:32,260 --> 00:16:34,759
And you'll each get one shot
to take out the targets.
411
00:16:34,794 --> 00:16:37,992
- The targets--
15 charging enemy soldiers.
412
00:16:38,027 --> 00:16:39,560
Napoleon crew,
you'll be up first
413
00:16:39,594 --> 00:16:41,060
with the grapeshot.
414
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,626
- Ho-ho!
- Oh!
415
00:16:45,661 --> 00:16:48,227
Nice job, Napoleon crew.
416
00:16:48,261 --> 00:16:50,493
We're gonna go immediately
to the Washington crew.
417
00:16:50,527 --> 00:16:52,460
Are you ready?
Ready!
418
00:16:52,494 --> 00:16:54,560
- Fire at will!
- Here we go.
419
00:16:56,061 --> 00:16:57,493
- Oh!
- Oh-ho!
420
00:16:57,527 --> 00:17:00,559
Love it!
[Laughter]
421
00:17:00,594 --> 00:17:03,126
U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
422
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,726
[Chuckles evilly]
423
00:17:04,761 --> 00:17:06,693
Dr. Dorian
checks the damage
424
00:17:06,727 --> 00:17:08,226
from Napoleon's grapeshot.
425
00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:11,026
- One instant kill.
Two instant kills--in his face.
426
00:17:11,060 --> 00:17:13,825
Another instant kill.
Another one, face, chest.
427
00:17:13,859 --> 00:17:16,458
That's five, six...
428
00:17:16,492 --> 00:17:18,892
So a total, guys,
8 out of 15 instant kills.
429
00:17:18,926 --> 00:17:22,025
But how deadly was
Washington's scattershot round?
430
00:17:22,060 --> 00:17:23,126
Take a look at this!
431
00:17:23,159 --> 00:17:25,325
This guy has a huge piece
torn right out.
432
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,959
This is a guaranteed
instant kill.
433
00:17:26,993 --> 00:17:29,058
It looks like most
of that muscle
434
00:17:29,092 --> 00:17:30,392
comes straight through
the middle,
435
00:17:30,426 --> 00:17:32,291
'cause this guy's just
completely obliterated.
436
00:17:32,326 --> 00:17:34,725
Little scratch on his ear,
nothing here and nothing here.
437
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:37,959
This guy is down.
This is the fourth instant kill.
438
00:17:37,993 --> 00:17:39,592
So we got 4 out of 15 here.
439
00:17:39,626 --> 00:17:40,959
So 4 out of 15.
440
00:17:40,993 --> 00:17:43,426
But I think the biggest factor
here for me
441
00:17:43,460 --> 00:17:45,393
is the very narrow
dispersion pattern.
442
00:17:45,427 --> 00:17:48,860
I think you want this
to scatter as much as possible,
443
00:17:48,894 --> 00:17:50,326
and when you look
at the grapeshot,
444
00:17:50,361 --> 00:17:52,326
I think it speaks for itself
right there.
445
00:17:52,361 --> 00:17:53,693
Absolutely.
446
00:17:53,728 --> 00:17:55,326
- Napoleon's 8-pound Cannon
447
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:57,393
or Washington's
6-pound Cannon...
448
00:17:57,427 --> 00:17:59,126
Which one
do our experts believe
449
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,192
give its warrior the edge?
450
00:18:01,227 --> 00:18:04,025
When you're looking at,
basically, an improvised Cannon,
451
00:18:04,060 --> 00:18:05,858
you got to give credit
to Washington
452
00:18:05,892 --> 00:18:08,392
for being able to adapt,
improvise, and overcome.
453
00:18:08,426 --> 00:18:11,091
But Napoleon is
the master of artillery.
454
00:18:11,125 --> 00:18:13,423
It's obvious in our test.
455
00:18:13,458 --> 00:18:15,223
Eight guys
versus four guys down
456
00:18:15,258 --> 00:18:18,457
when you compare the grapeshot
versus the scattershot.
457
00:18:18,491 --> 00:18:21,190
I have to give my edge
to Napoleon's Cannon.
458
00:18:21,224 --> 00:18:25,391
- For long-range weapons,
edge--Napoleon Bonaparte.
459
00:18:25,425 --> 00:18:26,724
Fire!
460
00:18:26,758 --> 00:18:28,624
Coming up...
461
00:18:28,659 --> 00:18:31,524
Can Washington even the score
with a savage counterattack?
462
00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:32,924
Evil trick.
463
00:18:32,958 --> 00:18:35,923
And later, mack exposes
the surprising secrets
464
00:18:35,958 --> 00:18:38,723
behind two of history's
greatest generals.
465
00:18:42,751 --> 00:18:44,784
- General George Washington--
466
00:18:44,818 --> 00:18:46,552
outmanned and outgunned,
467
00:18:46,586 --> 00:18:48,853
he led a tired and tattered army
to victory
468
00:18:48,888 --> 00:18:52,389
over the most powerful
military force of the time...
469
00:18:52,423 --> 00:18:55,291
Versus Napoleon Bonaparte--
470
00:18:55,325 --> 00:18:57,926
the power-hungry warlord
bent on world domination.
471
00:18:57,961 --> 00:18:59,628
He was willing to sacrifice
472
00:18:59,662 --> 00:19:03,264
hundreds of thousands of his
own men in pursuit of victory.
473
00:19:03,298 --> 00:19:04,931
In the winter of 1812,
474
00:19:04,966 --> 00:19:07,334
he invaded Russia
with half a million troops.
475
00:19:07,368 --> 00:19:10,503
Less than 25,000 survived.
476
00:19:10,537 --> 00:19:13,872
- It's cold there--we're talking
about six feet of snow.
477
00:19:13,906 --> 00:19:16,207
The whole army was having
to deal with malnutrition,
478
00:19:16,241 --> 00:19:18,608
and they lost a lot of people.
479
00:19:18,642 --> 00:19:20,810
We've seen
how Napoleon Bonaparte
480
00:19:20,844 --> 00:19:22,277
and George Washington
481
00:19:22,311 --> 00:19:24,246
utilized cannons
to initiate a battle.
482
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,781
But after that, they would've
closed that distance
483
00:19:26,815 --> 00:19:29,315
and utilized
their mid-range weapons.
484
00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:33,685
- Phillipe, how would Napoleon
conduct mid-range warfare?
485
00:19:33,719 --> 00:19:35,586
- Well, Napoleon
loved volley fire--
486
00:19:35,620 --> 00:19:36,887
a technique developed
487
00:19:36,921 --> 00:19:39,989
to make up for the lack
of accuracy of the muskets.
488
00:19:40,023 --> 00:19:43,658
You would have
a row of soldiers shooting
489
00:19:43,692 --> 00:19:47,594
to overwhelm the enemy
with the sheer volume of rounds.
490
00:19:47,629 --> 00:19:48,728
[Gunfire]
491
00:19:48,763 --> 00:19:50,430
Napoleon armed his troops
492
00:19:50,465 --> 00:19:53,666
with the 1777
charleville musket--
493
00:19:53,701 --> 00:19:57,002
a design so deadly,
it was copied across the world.
494
00:19:57,037 --> 00:19:59,170
- It's a .66-caliber round.
495
00:19:59,205 --> 00:20:01,106
It's actually
not a tight fit,
496
00:20:01,140 --> 00:20:02,739
which meant that
it wasn't as accurate.
497
00:20:02,774 --> 00:20:06,876
But it was way faster
to reload than any rifle.
498
00:20:06,911 --> 00:20:10,345
- To accurately reproduce
Napoleon's volley-fire tactic,
499
00:20:10,380 --> 00:20:13,347
mathew and three experienced
black-powder Marksmen
500
00:20:13,381 --> 00:20:15,281
will form a volley line.
501
00:20:15,315 --> 00:20:17,616
To test the charleville
musket's damage,
502
00:20:17,651 --> 00:20:20,018
accuracy, and reload time,
503
00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:21,785
each Marksman
will fire five rounds
504
00:20:21,819 --> 00:20:24,755
at four static targets
placed 60 yards away--
505
00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:26,623
the effective range
of the weapon.
506
00:20:26,657 --> 00:20:30,660
Five yards behind them,
an officer on horseback.

- To reload,
a black-powder charge
510
00:20:43,004 --> 00:20:44,371
is poured into the muzzle,

followed by a patched lead ball,
rammed on top.
512
00:20:46,874 --> 00:20:50,309
More black powder
is poured into the firing pan,
513
00:20:50,343 --> 00:20:52,777
and the hammer containing
a flint is cocked.
514
00:20:52,811 --> 00:20:54,178
When the trigger is pulled,
515
00:20:54,213 --> 00:20:56,146
the flint sparks the powder
in the pan,
516
00:20:56,180 --> 00:20:57,347
igniting the main charge.

- Nice shot.

00:21:21,635 --> 00:21:23,535
This by itself
is an instant kill.
529
00:21:23,570 --> 00:21:26,871
Napoleon's 1777
charleville musket
530
00:21:26,905 --> 00:21:30,106
delivered death
to all four infantry targets.
531
00:21:30,141 --> 00:21:32,808
And the commander is clean.
532
00:21:32,842 --> 00:21:35,377
So what that means--
out of these five targets,
533
00:21:35,411 --> 00:21:39,278
four of them are killed
in 1 minute, 43 seconds.
534
00:21:39,312 --> 00:21:40,912
It seems like you've done
plenty of damage,
535
00:21:40,947 --> 00:21:43,380
but you missed the important guy
in the back.
536
00:21:43,415 --> 00:21:44,916
If only you had
some kind of weapon
537
00:21:44,950 --> 00:21:47,084
that you could
properly aim and fire
538
00:21:47,118 --> 00:21:48,552
on such an important target.
539
00:21:48,587 --> 00:21:51,921
Washington's continentals
took aim at the British
540
00:21:51,956 --> 00:21:55,724
with the one-two punch
of muskets and long rifles.
541
00:21:55,758 --> 00:21:58,160
Washington is forced,
by the lack of resources,
542
00:21:58,194 --> 00:21:59,661
to combine conventional
with unconventional
543
00:21:59,695 --> 00:22:01,663
into something
I might call "hybrid warfare."
544
00:22:01,697 --> 00:22:04,065
He's got militia that are
coming in from all around.
545
00:22:04,099 --> 00:22:05,133
They're bringing muskets,
546
00:22:05,167 --> 00:22:06,866
but some of them
are bringing rifles.
547
00:22:06,901 --> 00:22:08,501
He's gonna fold those units
into a line of battle,
548
00:22:08,536 --> 00:22:10,703
but the rifle gives him
a lot more flexibility.
549
00:22:10,737 --> 00:22:13,338
Washington's musket,
the brown Bess...
550
00:22:13,372 --> 00:22:16,674
The longest-used firearm
in British military history.
551
00:22:16,708 --> 00:22:20,110
A very comparable musket
to the French equivalent.
552
00:22:20,145 --> 00:22:21,612
And the loose fit of the ball
553
00:22:21,646 --> 00:22:23,579
meant that it bounced around
a bit in the barrel.
554
00:22:23,613 --> 00:22:26,381
That's why muskets aren't nearly
as accurate as rifles are.
555
00:22:26,415 --> 00:22:28,783
Washington's troops
also packed
556
00:22:28,818 --> 00:22:31,519
the Pennsylvania
long rifle...
557
00:22:31,553 --> 00:22:34,754
A weapon that dealt death
from over 200 yards.
558
00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:36,488
Rifling is a series of grooves
559
00:22:36,523 --> 00:22:38,891
that spiral to the end
of the barrel.
560
00:22:38,925 --> 00:22:41,425
The grooves spin the ball
out of the barrel.
561
00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:44,595
Because it's spinning, it's more
accurate for a farther distance.
562
00:22:44,629 --> 00:22:46,929
Unfortunately,
that snug fit in the barrel
563
00:22:46,964 --> 00:22:49,431
tended to foul the barrel
when there was carbon buildup,
564
00:22:49,465 --> 00:22:51,033
so it takes longer to reload.
565
00:22:51,067 --> 00:22:53,367
- Can Washington's
musket-rifle combo
566
00:22:53,401 --> 00:22:55,102
outgun Napoleon's team
567
00:22:55,137 --> 00:22:58,572
in less than 1 minute
and 43 seconds?
568
00:22:58,606 --> 00:23:01,373
Wayne and Paul
and two black-powder Marksmen
569
00:23:01,407 --> 00:23:03,941
will fire two muskets
and two rifles,
570
00:23:03,975 --> 00:23:05,509
each with five rounds.
571
00:23:05,544 --> 00:23:07,777
...One!
Fire!
572
00:23:07,812 --> 00:23:09,811
Nice.
573
00:23:09,846 --> 00:23:12,548
The carbon buildup
in the rifle's barrel
574
00:23:12,582 --> 00:23:13,982
must be thoroughly cleaned,
575
00:23:14,016 --> 00:23:16,851
making it twice as long
to reload.
576
00:23:16,885 --> 00:23:18,419
- Oh!
- That was a hit.
577
00:23:18,453 --> 00:23:19,886
Man, that takes
a long time.
578
00:23:22,123 --> 00:23:24,057
Oh, that's a hit!
579
00:23:24,091 --> 00:23:25,758
- Ha ha ha ha ha!
- Evil.
580
00:23:25,793 --> 00:23:28,026
Evil trick.
Oh, that's a mess!
581
00:23:28,061 --> 00:23:31,428
Ah, he missed it.
582
00:23:31,463 --> 00:23:33,830
- Nice shot.
- That's a good hit.
583
00:23:33,864 --> 00:23:35,265
Missed it.
584
00:23:35,299 --> 00:23:36,865
- Oh-ho!
585
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:39,134
Belly shot on the horse.
Poor bugger.
586
00:23:39,169 --> 00:23:41,102
- [Chuckles]
- Perfect.
587
00:23:41,136 --> 00:23:43,269
All four static targets
are hit now.
588
00:23:43,304 --> 00:23:46,139
The muskets blow through
their five shots,
589
00:23:46,173 --> 00:23:49,442
but the slower-reloading rifles
continue to fire.
590
00:23:49,476 --> 00:23:51,142
- Oh!
- [Laughing]
591
00:23:51,176 --> 00:23:52,911
- Commander's down.
- Oh!
592
00:23:52,945 --> 00:23:54,478
There goes the commander.
593
00:23:54,512 --> 00:23:56,379
3 minutes, 31 seconds!
594
00:23:56,413 --> 00:23:59,248
- Washington's
musket-rifle combination
595
00:23:59,283 --> 00:24:01,550
matches Napoleon's
four static-target kills.
596
00:24:01,584 --> 00:24:04,085
This guy is half the man
he used to be.
597
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,153
Human tissue would not fall
apart like this,
598
00:24:06,187 --> 00:24:08,955
but it does speak volumes
with regards
599
00:24:08,989 --> 00:24:11,190
to the temporary cavity
that's being displayed here.
600
00:24:11,224 --> 00:24:12,458
That's an instant kill.
601
00:24:12,492 --> 00:24:15,460
The accuracy of the rifle
is undeniable.
602
00:24:15,494 --> 00:24:17,695
But in war,
speed is everything.
603
00:24:17,729 --> 00:24:20,363
Our charleville
is way faster reloading.
604
00:24:20,398 --> 00:24:22,399
We get so many more shots.
605
00:24:22,433 --> 00:24:24,433
Napoleon's musket volley fire
606
00:24:24,467 --> 00:24:27,535
or Washington's musket-and-rifle
hybrid warfare--
607
00:24:27,570 --> 00:24:30,805
which do our experts
believe has the edge?
608
00:24:30,839 --> 00:24:32,706
The brown Bess
used in combination
609
00:24:32,740 --> 00:24:34,407
with the Pennsylvania rifle--
610
00:24:34,441 --> 00:24:36,375
you're looking
at a weapon system
611
00:24:36,409 --> 00:24:38,876
that allows you to reach out
a little further,
612
00:24:38,910 --> 00:24:42,612
a little bit more accuracy
that I--as a sniper, I like.
613
00:24:42,646 --> 00:24:44,146
We're seeing
a combo technique
614
00:24:44,180 --> 00:24:47,182
where you're actually getting
accuracy and a lot of trauma.
615
00:24:47,216 --> 00:24:48,516
So, for me,
there's no question
616
00:24:48,551 --> 00:24:50,017
the edge here goes
to George Washington.
617
00:24:50,051 --> 00:24:53,153
I don't like the fact it did
take them double the time,
618
00:24:53,187 --> 00:24:55,821
but doesn't really matter what
kind of time these were done in.
619
00:24:55,855 --> 00:24:59,723
If you don't kill everyone,
you don't get the job done.
620
00:24:59,758 --> 00:25:03,259
- For medium-range weapons,
edge--George Washington.
621
00:25:03,294 --> 00:25:04,893
Coming up...
622
00:25:04,928 --> 00:25:07,161
George's Washington crushing
victory at yorktown...
623
00:25:07,196 --> 00:25:09,363
Go there,
and he used deception...
624
00:25:09,398 --> 00:25:11,865
Faces off against
Napoleon Bonaparte's
625
00:25:11,899 --> 00:25:13,300
brutal triumph at austerlitz.
626
00:25:13,335 --> 00:25:15,768
Plus, centuries-old swords
627
00:25:15,803 --> 00:25:18,003
rise to kill again.
628
00:25:18,038 --> 00:25:21,839
Two legendary generals
brought empires to their knees.
629
00:25:21,874 --> 00:25:23,408
But who is deadliest?
630
00:25:28,590 --> 00:25:30,357
George Washington,
631
00:25:30,391 --> 00:25:32,992
the general who refused
calls to be crowned king,
632
00:25:33,026 --> 00:25:34,859
insisting instead
that the head of state
633
00:25:34,894 --> 00:25:37,628
should be
an elected president...
634
00:25:37,663 --> 00:25:40,397
Versus Napoleon Bonaparte,
635
00:25:40,431 --> 00:25:41,631
the ruthless French emperor
636
00:25:41,665 --> 00:25:44,433
whose cold-blooded
campaign through Europe
637
00:25:44,467 --> 00:25:47,501
once saw 70,000 casualties
in a single day.
638
00:25:47,536 --> 00:25:49,603
Each warrior's
battlefield tactics
639
00:25:49,638 --> 00:25:53,072
will provide crucial data
for the digital combat engine.
640
00:25:53,106 --> 00:25:56,075
Mack breaks down each general's
most legendary victory
641
00:25:56,109 --> 00:25:59,077
to predict how he'll perform
in the heat of battle.
642
00:25:59,112 --> 00:26:03,447
What was Washington's approach
to conducting warfare?
643
00:26:03,482 --> 00:26:05,816
Well, he's smart enough to
know that he can't risk his army
644
00:26:05,851 --> 00:26:07,484
in a revolutionary situation.
645
00:26:07,518 --> 00:26:09,186
So you bring in militia,
and you fight
646
00:26:09,220 --> 00:26:11,287
a kind of unconventional war
on the side,
647
00:26:11,321 --> 00:26:13,087
while maintaining
a conventional army
648
00:26:13,121 --> 00:26:14,822
at the core
of your resistance.
649
00:26:14,857 --> 00:26:16,322
Today we might call it
hybrid warfare.
650
00:26:16,357 --> 00:26:18,724
The best example is the campaign
that leads up to yorktown.
651
00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:22,093
Let's go to yorktown right now
using the touch table.
652
00:26:22,127 --> 00:26:25,794
So after 1778, the French
join in with the Americans
653
00:26:25,829 --> 00:26:26,862
to fight the British,
654
00:26:26,896 --> 00:26:28,763
and so the British
send a major army
655
00:26:28,798 --> 00:26:31,932
under general lord cornwallis
down into the Southern states.
656
00:26:31,967 --> 00:26:33,967
And they're gonna try
to recapture those states
657
00:26:34,001 --> 00:26:35,768
and fold them back
into the empire.
658
00:26:35,802 --> 00:26:38,337
And down in those places,
Washington's generals
659
00:26:38,372 --> 00:26:40,572
are fighting the unconventional
part of the war--
660
00:26:40,607 --> 00:26:43,208
skirmishing,
tearing up the supply lines,
661
00:26:43,242 --> 00:26:45,443
and they're making life hell
for cornwallis.
662
00:26:45,477 --> 00:26:47,111
When a British general
gets into trouble,
663
00:26:47,146 --> 00:26:48,613
he tends to head for the sea
664
00:26:48,647 --> 00:26:50,314
so he can link up with the Navy,
get support.
665
00:26:50,348 --> 00:26:52,516
So the French fleet
sails into the chesapeake
666
00:26:52,550 --> 00:26:54,617
and bottles up
the entrance to the bay,
667
00:26:54,651 --> 00:26:55,984
and cornwallis is trapped.
668
00:26:56,018 --> 00:26:58,252
The French have actually
blocked the chesapeake bay.
669
00:26:58,287 --> 00:27:00,888
There is no way the British
can come in there.
670
00:27:00,922 --> 00:27:02,388
- After the small-unit militias
671
00:27:02,422 --> 00:27:05,023
forced cornwallis' troops
to yorktown,
672
00:27:05,057 --> 00:27:08,291
Washington unleashed the second
half of his hybrid attack.
673
00:27:08,325 --> 00:27:10,893
The French and the American
armies march in,
674
00:27:10,928 --> 00:27:14,028
and they start the conventional
European-style siege,
675
00:27:14,063 --> 00:27:15,930
pounding yorktown
day after day.
676
00:27:15,964 --> 00:27:18,898
And by just continuously
bashing and bashing
677
00:27:18,932 --> 00:27:22,367
and bashing them,
they have to surrender.
678
00:27:22,401 --> 00:27:24,169
They do. It has a huge impact
on public opinion
679
00:27:24,203 --> 00:27:25,603
back in britain,
680
00:27:25,637 --> 00:27:27,738
and for all political purposes,
the war is over.
681
00:27:27,772 --> 00:27:30,840
And he's proven
that his hybrid warfare
682
00:27:30,874 --> 00:27:33,775
is successful
on the battlefield.
683
00:27:33,809 --> 00:27:36,376
Most revolutionary age
battles
684
00:27:36,411 --> 00:27:39,444
were decided in close combat
with cold, hard steel--
685
00:27:39,479 --> 00:27:41,278
swords.
686
00:27:41,312 --> 00:27:44,480
Napoleon wielded
the French cavalry saber.
687
00:27:44,514 --> 00:27:47,082
A descendant
of an Egyptian tribal sword,
688
00:27:47,117 --> 00:27:49,951
it was originally used
to behead enemy prisoners.
689
00:27:49,985 --> 00:27:53,553
After exhaustive research,
bladesmith Dave Baker
690
00:27:53,588 --> 00:27:56,689
has meticulously recreated
each warrior's sword,
691
00:27:56,724 --> 00:27:58,457
beginning
with Napoleon's saber.
692
00:27:58,492 --> 00:28:01,760
It's got a heavy curve to it,
a deep Fuller,
693
00:28:01,794 --> 00:28:04,195
and a clip-point blade
to help with thrusting.
694
00:28:04,229 --> 00:28:05,830
Now, while doing research,
695
00:28:05,864 --> 00:28:07,965
we discovered that he carried
a sword just like this
696
00:28:07,999 --> 00:28:09,133
at the battle of marengo.
697
00:28:09,167 --> 00:28:10,734
Now, that sword still exists
698
00:28:10,768 --> 00:28:13,936
and was sold recently at auction
for $6 million.
699
00:28:13,971 --> 00:28:16,372
Washington attacked
with a cold steel killer,
700
00:28:16,407 --> 00:28:18,006
the colichemarde,
701
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,942
a deadly combination
of speed and accuracy.
702
00:28:20,976 --> 00:28:22,610
George Washington's sword,
703
00:28:22,645 --> 00:28:24,277
it's a combination weapon--
704
00:28:24,312 --> 00:28:26,613
a wide, heavy section
at the bottom
705
00:28:26,648 --> 00:28:28,781
and then a thin, fast blade
at the front.
706
00:28:28,815 --> 00:28:31,449
What this does
is it gives you the speed
707
00:28:31,484 --> 00:28:32,684
of a small sword,
708
00:28:32,718 --> 00:28:35,019
as well as enough meat
in that blade
709
00:28:35,053 --> 00:28:39,423
to deflect or parry
a heavy blow from a saber.
710
00:28:39,457 --> 00:28:41,624
- These two swords
will go head-to-head
711
00:28:41,659 --> 00:28:44,193
in a two-part contest.
712
00:28:44,227 --> 00:28:46,461
These are generals,
and they ride on horseback.
713
00:28:46,495 --> 00:28:48,997
And in the worst-case scenario,
714
00:28:49,032 --> 00:28:51,433
they actually have their horses
shot from underneath them,
715
00:28:51,467 --> 00:28:55,135
they've got to still use those
blades to save their butts.
716
00:28:55,169 --> 00:28:58,003
So we've got set up
three stationary targets,
717
00:28:58,037 --> 00:29:00,972
mimicking real human flesh,
real human bone.
718
00:29:01,006 --> 00:29:04,107
The experts will test
each sword for its accuracy,
719
00:29:04,141 --> 00:29:07,042
penetration,
and strike versatility.
720
00:29:07,076 --> 00:29:11,178
First, they will attack
each target from horseback,
721
00:29:11,212 --> 00:29:13,278
then dismount
for a final attack on foot.
722
00:29:13,313 --> 00:29:15,180
The Napoleon team is up first.
723
00:29:15,215 --> 00:29:16,347
- Allons-y!
724
00:29:16,382 --> 00:29:17,549
Yah!
725
00:29:19,718 --> 00:29:21,753
- Oh-ho!
726
00:29:21,787 --> 00:29:22,953
Ugh!
727
00:29:22,988 --> 00:29:24,088
Nice!
728
00:29:29,460 --> 00:29:31,394
- Oof!
- Ugh!
729
00:29:31,428 --> 00:29:34,730
Three targets,
three instant kills.
730
00:29:34,764 --> 00:29:37,764
Dr. Dorian examines
the final death blow.
731
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:40,800
Small diameter, but it goes
all the way through.
732
00:29:40,834 --> 00:29:43,101
This, placed perfectly,
is an instant kill.
733
00:29:43,135 --> 00:29:44,802
The fact
that you can slash like this
734
00:29:44,836 --> 00:29:47,003
and still thrust
makes it a perfect weapon.
735
00:29:47,038 --> 00:29:49,471
The colichemarde's designed
to counter a saber.
736
00:29:49,506 --> 00:29:51,106
It's designed to thrust
and to penetrate.
737
00:29:51,141 --> 00:29:53,340
It's gonna be fatal
every time it goes in.
738
00:29:53,375 --> 00:29:54,508
Charge!
739
00:29:54,542 --> 00:29:58,144
Will the colichemarde
cut out a final victory
740
00:29:58,178 --> 00:29:59,712
for the American general?
741
00:29:59,746 --> 00:30:02,046
Ah, he's got to be careful
with that blade
742
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,315
coming out, though.
743
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:05,582
Through-and-through, baby.
744
00:30:05,617 --> 00:30:07,284
Nice.
Oh...
745
00:30:07,319 --> 00:30:10,620
That's a through-and-through.
746
00:30:10,654 --> 00:30:13,489
Nice.
747
00:30:13,523 --> 00:30:15,123
Three.
748
00:30:15,157 --> 00:30:17,159
Instant kill city here.
749
00:30:17,193 --> 00:30:19,093
Another important fact
about thrusting injuries--
750
00:30:19,127 --> 00:30:21,629
once you're in,
the tip doesn't stay straight.
751
00:30:21,663 --> 00:30:23,264
It actually
bends up and down,
752
00:30:23,298 --> 00:30:26,033
so it's not just the width
of the wound on the outside.
753
00:30:26,067 --> 00:30:28,401
There's a lot more tearing up
going on in the inside.
754
00:30:28,435 --> 00:30:29,836
And I love the placement,
755
00:30:29,870 --> 00:30:31,503
center of mass
of that target,
756
00:30:31,538 --> 00:30:34,505
showing me the accuracy
that you have with that weapon.
757
00:30:34,539 --> 00:30:36,540
It was terrifying
how easy it was
758
00:30:36,574 --> 00:30:38,173
to push this
through the target,
759
00:30:38,208 --> 00:30:40,242
especially with the power of the
horse under me and behind me.
760
00:30:40,276 --> 00:30:41,776
With a saber,
you're very mobile.
761
00:30:41,810 --> 00:30:44,076
You can go left, right,
everywhere.
762
00:30:44,111 --> 00:30:46,712
With your sword, you miss your
shot, you're off your horse.
763
00:30:46,746 --> 00:30:48,713
This would be
way more efficient.
764
00:30:48,747 --> 00:30:52,048
Napoleon's cavalry saber
proves more versatile,
765
00:30:52,082 --> 00:30:54,917
able to thrust and slash
with deadly results.
766
00:30:54,951 --> 00:30:58,353
But Washington's colichemarde
does more damage
767
00:30:58,388 --> 00:30:59,821
with each strike.
768
00:30:59,856 --> 00:31:01,922
So which sword
do our experts argue
769
00:31:01,957 --> 00:31:03,457
gets the edge?
770
00:31:03,492 --> 00:31:05,292
With the colichemarde,
771
00:31:05,327 --> 00:31:07,861
there was no slashes whatsoever
that we saw,
772
00:31:07,895 --> 00:31:09,896
and I think anytime a weapon
gives you options,
773
00:31:09,930 --> 00:31:11,063
that's gonna give you
774
00:31:11,098 --> 00:31:12,865
that slight advantage
on the battlefield.
775
00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:14,299
This is where
I'll disagree with you.
776
00:31:14,333 --> 00:31:15,667
I'm going to go
with the colichemarde.
777
00:31:15,701 --> 00:31:19,002
Obviously, cavalry sabers
do better on horseback
778
00:31:19,036 --> 00:31:20,669
because of that room
for error.
779
00:31:20,703 --> 00:31:22,737
Okay, now, let's
get off the horse.
780
00:31:22,772 --> 00:31:25,172
I think it makes a very big
difference at this point,
781
00:31:25,206 --> 00:31:27,539
because there is
a whole parry tactic
782
00:31:27,574 --> 00:31:30,074
that is designed
in the colichemarde,
783
00:31:30,108 --> 00:31:31,742
specifically for sabers.
784
00:31:31,777 --> 00:31:32,976
Washington had experience
785
00:31:33,010 --> 00:31:35,612
of having horses shot out
from underneath him.
786
00:31:35,647 --> 00:31:38,915
So he wanted to be able to go
to an infantry weapon
787
00:31:38,949 --> 00:31:40,883
that he knew
would deliver for him.
788
00:31:40,918 --> 00:31:45,388
We did see three great punctures
all the way through.
789
00:31:45,422 --> 00:31:47,222
So I'm going to go
with the colichemarde.
790
00:31:47,256 --> 00:31:48,990
- For close-range weapons,
791
00:31:49,025 --> 00:31:51,526
edge--George Washington.
792
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,928
To predict what tactics
will be used for battle
793
00:31:54,962 --> 00:31:57,329
in the digital combat engine,
mack examines
794
00:31:57,363 --> 00:32:00,131
Napoleon Bonaparte's
1805 victory
795
00:32:00,165 --> 00:32:02,666
at the battle of austerlitz.
796
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:06,034
How would you describe
Napoleon's approach
797
00:32:06,069 --> 00:32:07,402
to strategy and tactics?
798
00:32:07,436 --> 00:32:09,336
If I had to put it
in plain English,
799
00:32:09,370 --> 00:32:11,104
I will say bait and bash.
800
00:32:11,139 --> 00:32:14,806
Let's go to Europe
using the touch table right now.
801
00:32:14,841 --> 00:32:17,408
In the present day
Czech Republic,
802
00:32:17,443 --> 00:32:19,843
Napoleon positioned his forces
on a hilltop
803
00:32:19,877 --> 00:32:21,477
called pratzen heights.
804
00:32:21,512 --> 00:32:24,813
Below them, more than 70,000
Russian and Austrian troops.
805
00:32:24,847 --> 00:32:28,116
He met with Russian
and Austrian representative
806
00:32:28,150 --> 00:32:31,884
and let them believe
that he wanted to surrender.
807
00:32:31,918 --> 00:32:36,554
So he actually withdraws
his troops from a great position
808
00:32:36,588 --> 00:32:39,989
to let them think,
"I'm about to accept surrender."
809
00:32:40,024 --> 00:32:42,657
So he has set
the table perfectly, right?
810
00:32:42,692 --> 00:32:46,726
Absolutely. The Russians move
their troop to pratzen heights
811
00:32:46,761 --> 00:32:49,261
and watch Napoleon run away.
812
00:32:49,295 --> 00:32:52,730
They have 72,000 Russians
on top of the hills,
813
00:32:52,765 --> 00:32:55,365
only 62,000 Napoleon troops.
814
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,834
They think they have
the upper hand.
815
00:32:56,868 --> 00:32:57,967
They're laughing.
816
00:32:58,002 --> 00:32:59,236
What happens next?
817
00:33:02,906 --> 00:33:04,972
Using the cover of fog,
818
00:33:05,007 --> 00:33:07,475
Napoleon brings up
a massive cavalry unit
819
00:33:07,509 --> 00:33:11,344
to reinforce his right flank
and surprise the enemy.
820
00:33:11,378 --> 00:33:13,145
It's all about baiting,
baiting, baiting.
821
00:33:13,180 --> 00:33:15,847
And when he finally
has them set up,
822
00:33:15,882 --> 00:33:17,614
he goes in for the bash.
823
00:33:17,649 --> 00:33:20,050
All of a sudden,
he starts destroying them
824
00:33:20,085 --> 00:33:21,751
with everything he has.
825
00:33:21,785 --> 00:33:23,720
This cavalry all engaged.
826
00:33:23,754 --> 00:33:25,854
He basically
sends everyone up there
827
00:33:25,889 --> 00:33:27,655
and destroys the Russians.
828
00:33:27,689 --> 00:33:30,058
Yes, he destroyed
the whole Austrian army,
829
00:33:30,092 --> 00:33:32,226
a third of the Russian army.
830
00:33:32,260 --> 00:33:36,229
And this is why
the czar of Russia said,
831
00:33:36,263 --> 00:33:40,198
"we are babies
in the hand of a giant."
832
00:33:40,233 --> 00:33:42,900
And Napoleon set his legacy up
for the rest of history.
833
00:33:42,934 --> 00:33:45,368
Washington's use
of hybrid warfare
834
00:33:45,403 --> 00:33:49,104
allowed him to prolong the war
with Great Britain.
835
00:33:49,139 --> 00:33:53,108
But not only was Napoleon
incredibly successful
836
00:33:53,142 --> 00:33:55,810
in baiting
onto the battlefield,
837
00:33:55,844 --> 00:33:59,179
he was able to set up perfectly
838
00:33:59,213 --> 00:34:02,681
the moment he bashed
into submission.
839
00:34:02,716 --> 00:34:04,916
For the "x" factor
of battlefield tactics,
840
00:34:04,950 --> 00:34:06,950
edge--Napoleon.
841
00:34:06,984 --> 00:34:08,485
Coming up...
842
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,686
General Napoleon Bonaparte,
843
00:34:10,721 --> 00:34:12,689
France's infamous God of war,
844
00:34:12,723 --> 00:34:15,390
versus
general George Washington,
845
00:34:15,425 --> 00:34:18,226
America's hero
of the revolution.
846
00:34:18,260 --> 00:34:21,160
Two legendary generals,
one final battle.
847
00:34:21,195 --> 00:34:23,095
Who is deadliest?
848
00:34:25,047 --> 00:34:27,972
Deadliest Warrior's a huge
undertaking, and it's really cool.
849
00:34:28,043 --> 00:34:31,494
And at the end of the day it comes
down to 3 guys having some fun.
850
00:34:31,904 --> 00:34:34,752
*** guys shoot cannons
and blowing stuff up.
851
00:34:34,888 --> 00:34:37,396
Being a part of Deadliest
Warrior is the ***.
852
00:34:42,541 --> 00:34:46,646
It's the historic clash
of revolutionary age giants.
853
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,583
General George Washington...
854
00:34:48,617 --> 00:34:52,155
Calm, calculated,
and humble in victory...
855
00:34:52,189 --> 00:34:54,325
Versus
general Napoleon Bonaparte,
856
00:34:54,359 --> 00:34:58,532
maniacal, merciless, and
obsessed with world domination.
857
00:34:58,566 --> 00:35:00,368
Fire at will!
858
00:35:00,402 --> 00:35:02,171
- In our long-range
artillery tests,
859
00:35:02,205 --> 00:35:03,807
Washington's 6-pound Cannon
860
00:35:03,841 --> 00:35:06,945
was blown away
by Napoleon's 8-pound Cannon.
861
00:35:06,980 --> 00:35:09,316
In medium-range weapons,
862
00:35:09,350 --> 00:35:12,354
Napoleon's
1777 charleville muskets
863
00:35:12,388 --> 00:35:14,523
were no match
for the one-two punch
864
00:35:14,558 --> 00:35:15,926
of Washington's
brown Bess muskets
865
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,965
and Pennsylvania long rifles.
866
00:35:19,999 --> 00:35:21,801
- In close-range weapons,
867
00:35:21,836 --> 00:35:23,771
Napoleon's cavalry saber
was cut down
868
00:35:23,806 --> 00:35:26,075
by Washington's colichemarde.
869
00:35:26,110 --> 00:35:28,045
In battlefield tactics,
870
00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:29,615
Washington's hybrid warfare
871
00:35:29,649 --> 00:35:33,388
was outmaneuvered by Napoleon's
bait-and-bash tactic.
872
00:35:33,422 --> 00:35:35,825
While the experts have formed
their opinions,
873
00:35:35,859 --> 00:35:39,230
all of the concrete data
is turned over to Robert daly
874
00:35:39,264 --> 00:35:42,068
and entered into the digital
combat engine,
875
00:35:42,103 --> 00:35:44,405
which ultimately determines
the winner.
876
00:35:44,439 --> 00:35:45,974
His team of engineers
and historians
877
00:35:46,009 --> 00:35:48,244
has also completed
its research
878
00:35:48,279 --> 00:35:50,682
on more than 100 "x" factors.
879
00:35:50,716 --> 00:35:53,853
These "x" factors include
things like intimidation,
880
00:35:53,888 --> 00:35:56,824
dominance,
audacity, logistics.
881
00:35:56,858 --> 00:35:59,361
All of these play a part
in who these men were
882
00:35:59,396 --> 00:36:01,798
and how they led their troops
to victory.
883
00:36:01,833 --> 00:36:05,305
And then we assign a numerical
value between 1 and 100,
884
00:36:05,339 --> 00:36:07,776
with 100 being
the ultimate warrior.
885
00:36:07,810 --> 00:36:09,913
When you talk
about generalship,
886
00:36:09,947 --> 00:36:11,449
Napoleon is brilliant,
887
00:36:11,483 --> 00:36:13,986
but he has moments
when he's very impatient.
888
00:36:14,020 --> 00:36:17,391
And that impatience
is what overextends him
889
00:36:17,425 --> 00:36:19,560
into the Russian winter campaign
890
00:36:19,595 --> 00:36:22,699
and leads to basically
his biggest defeat--
891
00:36:22,733 --> 00:36:26,337
versus George Washington,
who's very, very patient
892
00:36:26,372 --> 00:36:27,606
when he comes
to the battlefield.
893
00:36:27,641 --> 00:36:29,542
How do you rate that?
894
00:36:29,577 --> 00:36:32,413
Washington knew what it took
to get the job done,
895
00:36:32,448 --> 00:36:36,019
and Napoleon's impatience
started to really impact him.
896
00:36:36,053 --> 00:36:37,387
We ended up giving
897
00:36:37,421 --> 00:36:40,058
generalship to Washington,
slightly, at an 88
898
00:36:40,092 --> 00:36:42,428
versus Napoleon's at 82.
899
00:36:42,463 --> 00:36:43,864
Let's also consider
fatigue here.
900
00:36:43,898 --> 00:36:46,669
George Washington's strategy
was prolonging the battle.
901
00:36:46,703 --> 00:36:49,440
Napoleon took the long trek
into Russia
902
00:36:49,474 --> 00:36:51,009
with half a million troops
903
00:36:51,044 --> 00:36:53,347
and retreated
with only 25,000.
904
00:36:53,382 --> 00:36:56,085
No, absolutely.
And when you look at Napoleon
905
00:36:56,119 --> 00:36:58,890
having stretched
his line so far,
906
00:36:58,924 --> 00:37:00,726
more so than Washington,
907
00:37:00,761 --> 00:37:04,198
who is moving quickly in
a very localized area generally.
908
00:37:04,233 --> 00:37:06,635
So Washington ends up having
the advantage here--
909
00:37:06,669 --> 00:37:09,973
74 to Napoleon's 67.
910
00:37:10,008 --> 00:37:11,977
For me on this one,
it's all about logistics.
911
00:37:12,011 --> 00:37:13,479
I mean,
Napoleon had the resources.
912
00:37:13,514 --> 00:37:14,815
He had the trained men.
913
00:37:14,849 --> 00:37:16,985
Washington, I'm seeing a guy
who can improvise,
914
00:37:17,019 --> 00:37:18,353
and that's awesome,
915
00:37:18,388 --> 00:37:21,258
but if you're making cannons
out of candlesticks,
916
00:37:21,292 --> 00:37:22,794
I see a problem.
917
00:37:22,828 --> 00:37:24,096
No, absolutely.
918
00:37:24,131 --> 00:37:27,068
While Napoleon had
a great logistical base,
919
00:37:27,102 --> 00:37:29,838
we had to rate him a 79
due to the fact
920
00:37:29,872 --> 00:37:31,608
that he extended himself
too far
921
00:37:31,642 --> 00:37:33,778
and got out
of his logistical supply line.
922
00:37:33,813 --> 00:37:35,380
On the other hand,
you have Washington,
923
00:37:35,414 --> 00:37:37,852
and he was able to scrap
and scrounge
924
00:37:37,886 --> 00:37:39,187
and accomplish his mission.
925
00:37:39,222 --> 00:37:40,857
It's still lower
than what Napoleon had,
926
00:37:40,891 --> 00:37:42,827
but only slightly, at a 73.
927
00:37:42,862 --> 00:37:44,497
So we've got the weapons data
in the SIM.
928
00:37:44,531 --> 00:37:46,032
We've considered
all the "x" factors.
929
00:37:46,067 --> 00:37:47,500
Let's run the SIM.
930
00:37:47,535 --> 00:37:51,073
- The combat engine will run
5,000 simulated battles--
931
00:37:51,107 --> 00:37:52,909
pitting general
George Washington
932
00:37:52,943 --> 00:37:54,478
and four continental soldiers
933
00:37:54,512 --> 00:37:56,649
against
general Napoleon Bonaparte
934
00:37:56,683 --> 00:37:59,386
and four soldiers
from la Grande armee.
935
00:38:19,049 --> 00:38:20,718
Avance!
936
00:38:20,752 --> 00:38:25,527
[Battle cries]
937
00:38:25,562 --> 00:38:26,963
To arms!
938
00:38:33,509 --> 00:38:35,311
[Shouting in French]
939
00:38:38,717 --> 00:38:39,951
Allez, allez!
940
00:38:39,985 --> 00:38:41,954
Take out the lieutenant!
941
00:38:43,858 --> 00:38:45,862
- [Shouting in french]
- Go to the Cannon!
942
00:38:45,896 --> 00:38:48,098
[Shouting in French]
943
00:38:48,132 --> 00:38:50,969
Load, load!
Take the boxes off!
944
00:38:52,873 --> 00:38:55,876
[Shouting in French]
945
00:38:59,817 --> 00:39:01,920
Ram! Ram!
946
00:39:01,955 --> 00:39:03,890
Prime the piece!
947
00:39:08,833 --> 00:39:11,903
[Shouting in French]
948
00:39:11,937 --> 00:39:13,941
Clear!
949
00:39:15,410 --> 00:39:16,444
Reload!
950
00:39:20,218 --> 00:39:21,219
Scatter!
951
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,228
[Both generals shouting]
952
00:39:27,262 --> 00:39:29,798
Bayonets!
953
00:39:29,833 --> 00:39:32,735
Prepare to charge!
954
00:39:32,769 --> 00:39:36,340
[Shouting in French]
955
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:38,110
[All shouting]
956
00:39:38,144 --> 00:39:39,980
[Shouting in French]
957
00:40:16,172 --> 00:40:18,174
[Horse neighs]
958
00:40:30,963 --> 00:40:35,269
[Both grunting]
959
00:40:48,224 --> 00:40:52,028
In one of the closest contests
in Deadliest Warrior history,
960
00:40:52,063 --> 00:40:54,799
George Washington
narrowly seizes victory.
961
00:40:54,833 --> 00:40:58,537
Washington wins 2,530 battles
962
00:40:58,572 --> 00:41:01,308
to Napoleon's 2,470--
963
00:41:01,342 --> 00:41:03,212
a difference of just over 1%.
964
00:41:03,246 --> 00:41:06,884
When you look at this matchup,
it is so close.
965
00:41:06,918 --> 00:41:10,289
George Washington is able
to adapt to his battlefield
966
00:41:10,323 --> 00:41:14,028
and to move troops strategically
wherever it is necessary
967
00:41:14,062 --> 00:41:17,333
to create the most amount
of chaos in the battle space.
968
00:41:17,367 --> 00:41:20,472
The "x" factors
were virtually dead even.
969
00:41:20,506 --> 00:41:23,409
Napoleon scored high
in logistics and tactics
970
00:41:23,443 --> 00:41:25,513
for his skills
at executing battle plans.
971
00:41:25,547 --> 00:41:27,883
But it was
Washington's generalship,
972
00:41:27,917 --> 00:41:29,620
his ability
to use limited resources
973
00:41:29,654 --> 00:41:32,692
and motivate
his heavily outnumbered army
974
00:41:32,726 --> 00:41:36,098
and the overwhelming advantage
of his musket-rifle combination
975
00:41:36,132 --> 00:41:38,267
that clinched
his narrow victory.
976
00:41:38,301 --> 00:41:42,339
Napoleon is brilliant,
but Washington is persistent,
977
00:41:42,373 --> 00:41:44,776
dedicated, and will not stop
978
00:41:44,811 --> 00:41:46,646
until he accomplishes
the goal at hand.
979
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,049
And he is a brilliant leader,
980
00:41:49,083 --> 00:41:53,421
not only of men in battle,
but a country as well.
