look up the battle of castlebar, aka "the castlebar races"
it happened in 1798, when the french republic sent a force to aid the rebellion in ireland.
there's not too much else to tell, the combined irish-french force led a bayonet charge against the anglos (who outnumbered them 3 to 1) and the anglos literally fled across the entire country
there's another episode from the same war where father murphy (an irish rebel leader) defeated some redcoats by mowing them down with a cattle stampede

>that time a bunch of nips spooked Brits who outnumbered them into surrendering a fortified city
"My attack on Singapore was a bluff – a bluff that worked. I had 30,000 men and was outnumbered more than three to one. I knew that if I had to fight for long for Singapore, I would be beaten. That is why the surrender had to be at once. I was very frightened all the time that the British would discover our numerical weakness and lack of supplies and force me into disastrous street fighting."

the best part is that the same tactic actually worked quite a few times, like twice or 3 times at least
