I’m more concerned about how the dude got smashed in the fucking knees with a cannonball and just went “ahh what can ya do? Gimmie a hand up” fucking mega chad
At the Battle of Ratisbon in 1809, his troops were too scared to climb the ladders on the walls under a heavy rain of bullets, so Lannes started to climb first, saying he'd show them how a real soldier behaves. Humiliated by this sight, his troops held him back and immediately stormed the walls.

Lannes was a massive badass.

The cannon ball which hit him was probably half the size of his left testicle and a quarter the weight.
