The Battle of the Cargan Forest of 1606, was crucial for the protection of one of Cobreiny's most wealthiest provinces. The Yorgurvs menaced the Cobreinian in a costly war for 15 years. A Yorgurv army of about 35,000 sapproached the town of Cargan and their 250,000 people.
The Cobreinians with an army of 8,500, plus 1,500 militia which made 10,000, used the dense forest to their advantage and crippled the enemy after 22 days of strategic fighting, forcing them to retreat. The weather of those 22 days was either ranning or very hot, which made the Yorgurvs miserable who werent used to such such weather patterns unlike their enemy who lived a lifetime in the province. They came from a mostly a cold and dry land. Over half of the Yorgurv troops wore heavy armor and if were vulnerable to the heat or to attack if they were on or off. Less than 1000 from both sides caught colds. The smell of blood, sweat, oil, smoke, and gun powder was so thick, winds carried the combined scent miles away in different diretcions, some say if you focus your nose you can still smell a little bit of it even after 400 years.
Every day air was filled with the sounds of the rain beating down whatever was below them, swords clashing, painful screams coming from mens mouths, explosions smashing the earth and shredding the trees, and guns firing.
After those 22 days, the Yorgurvs lost 14,000 men while the Cobreinians lost about 3,000. The odds were against them yet they saved the town of Cargan the province's capital.
Every year a memorial service is held to honor those who died.
